reading．These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys，and have a more positive attitude toward reading．There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣based differences．Parents read more with their daughters．This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls，as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage．Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls，girls still receive more encouragement to read from theirparents．So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially﹣engineered gap for boys' reading？To improve boys' reading performance，parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading．This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so ﹣called "boy﹣friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer"．These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works，as many people believed that boys prefer to read non﹣fiction．But this belief is not supported by recent research，which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non﹣fiction．Encouraging all boys to read non﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful．Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability．Besides encouraging more fiction reading，there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books．Firstly，don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time．To match boys with suitable reading material，have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling．Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys，and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class．Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading．In addition，we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls．Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model．Let your children or students see you read for pleasure．（1）According to the author，what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability？A．Social factors．B．Teaching methods．C．Personal preferences．D．Psychological differences．（2）Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading？A．To persuade boys to read more often．B．To learn what boys are most interested in．C．To help boys improve their language ability．D．To show that adults are good reading role models．（3）When should schools give students additional library access according to the author？A．Before and after class．B．At any time of the school day．C．At regular times during class．D．When they are in the lower grades．（4）What is the main purpose of the text？A．To show students ways to improve their reading．B．To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls．C．To urge governments to provide more reading resources．D．To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability．3．（8分）"Anything you want，anytime you need it．"The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time，on the same day：December 12th，at 12 p．m.. Simultaneously，important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand﹣delivered to the offices of all the major news companies．One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin，a business reporter at The Post．The card was beautifully designed ﹣a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters．There was no explanation on the back，just a website address．Chris went to the website．Its style was identical to the card's and said："Anytime：Starting Tomorrow．"The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime．Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon？A joke？Something illegal？Anytime's marketing had worked ﹣it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale．When the opening came，that day at noon，the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read，"What do you want？" All you had to do was type the words into that box，and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered：within one，ten，or twenty ﹣four hours．Bloggers were the first to test the service．And their reviews were glowing．Within weeks，Anytime had become a part of daily life．Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster．Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was．He tried to find out who owned the company，but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public．He did find some interesting facts，though．Anyone who challenged the company，it seemed，met with serious trouble．A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest．The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin．Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime．By lunch，he had more than one hundred examples．Something was definitely wrong．Chris worked on his list the rest of the day，emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records．After working through the night，an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a．m．．When he woke a few hours later，there was a message flashing on his computer screen："Stop making trouble．" Chris smiled．He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track．（1）What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin？A．An invitation to a company opening．B．The website address of a new company．C．The words "Anytime：Starting tomorrow"．D．The words "Anything you want，anytime you need it"．（2）Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters？A．Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising．B．Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers．C．So the reporters would write stories about the new company．D．So people would find the new company interesting．（3）What did Chris' s research suggest about Anytime？A．It may be very dangerous．B．Its popularity would soon decrease．C．It was doing business all over the world．D．It was being widely criticised by journalists．（4）How did Chris feel at the end of the story？A．Scared that he would get into trouble．B．Confident that he would find the truth．C．Nervous about what the company would do．D．Satisfied that he had discovered the company's secret．4．（8分）Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris，a small metal cylinder （圆柱体）rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars．It has lain there for more than a century，its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal．First，the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft，alcohol﹣soaked cloth．Then it is steamed with pure water．Finally，the 1kg cylinder is returned，carefully，to its resting place．Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual，but has a purpose．The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining，circular metal is its holiest relic．It is the defining mass （质量）against which all other kilograms are measured．This is the international prototype，or standard，of the kilogram．The IPK，in short．Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made．They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations' weights and measures systems．But the days of the IPK，in its current form，are numbered．The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement ﹣based on electric current ﹣in order to define the mass of an object．The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned．"One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security，" says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson．"If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed，we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system．There would be chaos．The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris，after all．"Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements．"Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram，" says Robinson．"We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy．"（1）What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs？A．It's cared for with great devotion．B．It's used in religious ceremonies．C．It's beautifully designed and decorated．D．It's the most valuable metal in the world．（2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5？A．rebuiltB．removedC．destroyedD．upgraded（3）What is a reason for replacing the current IPK？A．To protect the metal cylinder from damage．B．To make taking measurements more economical．C．To provide all countries with the same standard．D．To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？A．No more kilosB．A heavy technologyC．The future of the kiloD．The history of measures第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）It was the 2015 "super storm" in New South Wales that restored my faith in people．During a break in the weather，I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some groceries．However，as I left the supermarket and drove back，the weather took a turn for the worse．（1）Having nowhere to go，I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the situation．He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway．（2）The man，who introduced himself as Trent，then invited me to wait inside his house with his wife，Kayti and their two daughters．I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car，as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail （冰雹）．Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car．（3）Fortunately，his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail．By 11：00 a．m．，the electricity and phone services had both gone．（4）Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off．The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better．I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family．When the hail stopped，I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye．（5）I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people．As I went out the door，I asked Trent for two of his business cards．My father has since called to offer him a job as a clerk at his company．A．It began pouring so heavily that I was forced to stop．B．The couple were so modest as I thanked them for their help．C．I was surprised that he didn't ask for anything in return for his assistance．D．I was grateful to escape the running water that was about to drown my car．E．I tried driving faster to escape the heavy downpour that was sure to come．F．As a result，I couldn't contact my parents，despite knowing they'd be worried．G．He was wet but he didn't seem to mind being out in the wild weather on my behalf．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．6．（30分）Why study history？People live in the present．They plan for the

2018年广州市高考一模综合测试（一）英语试题附答案2018年广州市高考一模综合测试（一）英语试题附答案第I卷第二部分阆读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to takepart in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don’t like socialising with other people.C. They don’t consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they’ll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But thismodest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the mu sic world Alma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of co urse I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parentsunhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. The y would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she c alls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to thecontrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the。

2019届广东广州高三1月模拟考试英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. Make a difference with your photographyTake the chance to make a real difference with your photography and contribute to One Minute on Earth, a project aiming to help street children around the world.We all live on the planet Earth, in different time zones and different parts of the world. When you read this, it will be night in one part of the world and morning somewhere else. A sunset and a sunrise is always there at any minute on earth.In 2015 on the 7 th of April at 13:00 (New York time), 200 photographers all around the world clicked on the button of their cameras all within the same minute on earth. From all these amazing landscape photos and stories, a photobook was made which was sold to raise money for charity.100% of this profit was donated to the AshalayamDeutschland organisation which used this money to support a street children center in Kolkata India. You can still buy this book from our website, which will help us continue to support the kids.We plan to hold this event annually, with the next one scheduled on June 21 st 201 7 at 21:00 (New York time). Money raised from the sale of the new photobook will goto a home in South Africa where 75 parentless childrenlive. This year’s event will include not only landscape photos but also street photos. The main rule is that the sky must be shown in the photo, so all can see at whattime it was shot when this year’s One Minute on Earthgot to you.1. What is the main goal of One Minute on Earth ?A. To raise money for children.B. To publish a photobook.C. To find the best picture.D. To take pictures of different places.2. What do the 2015 and 201 7 events have in common?A. They take place on the same date.B. They each produce a photobook.C. They require the same type of picture.D. The money raised goes to the same children.3. What is the main rule of the 201 7 event?A. All photos must be landscapes.B. The photos must be taken in Africa.C. The sky must appear in every photo.D. Each photographer can submit only one photo.2. For many people, leisure time is an opportunity to get outdoors, have some fun and meet interesting people. Add two pieces of advanced 21 st century technology — global positioning system (GPS) devices and the Internet — toget “geocaching”.The word geocaching comes from “geo” (earth) and “cache” (hidden storage). Geocachers log onto a website to find information about the location of a cache — usually a waterproof plastic box containing small items such as toysand CDs —along with a notebook where “finders” canenter comments and learn about the cache “owner”, theperson who created and hid the cache. Finders may take any of the items in the cache but are expected to replace them with something of similar value. They then visit the website again and write a message to the owner.Geocaching became possible on May 1, 2000, when a satellite system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was made public. Using an inexpensive GPS device, anyone on earth can send a signal to the satellites and receive informationabout their position. This is basically a high-tech versionof orienteering, the traditional pastime which uses maps and compasse s instead of GPS to determine one’s location.Geocachers are a very considerate group. Owners carefully choose a cache’s location to give finders an enjoyable experience, such as a beautiful view or a good campsite. They also consider the environmental impact of their cache since it could result in an increased number of visitorsto an area. As for the content of the caches, owners and finders must only use items that are suitable for thewhole family, as caches are found by geocachers of all ages.1. According to the passage, geocaching is __________.A. an outdoor leisure activityB. a new type of technologyC. a game used to teach geographyD. a program to protect environment2. How can finders learn about the cache owners?A. By meeting them.___________________________________B. Bygoing to a website.C. From the notebook.D. From the satellite.3. Which of the following is NOT used in geocaching?A. A GPS device.B. A compass.C. A plastic container.______________D. The Internet.4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Most geocachers are adults.B. Any item can be placed in the caches.C. The caches should be put in a remote place.D. Geocachers try to avoid damaging the environment.3. As a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeysplaying football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almostextinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas andstaring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But,back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common — and understandable — complaint. But what do the animalsthemselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But —you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sit ting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?1. The passage is mainly about __________.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organisationD. the difference between zoos and circuses2. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________.A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos3. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.4. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.4. Far out in the lake was a large wooden platform on which stood animprobably high diving board — a kind of wood en Eiffel Tower. It was, I’m sure, the county’s tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.So it was quite a shock when our teacher, Mr. Milton, announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr. Milton swam out to the platform. He was just a tiny, stick figure when he got there but even fromsuch a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds. Once at the top, he paced the enormously long board, then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge. He was going to do it.Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch. Mr. Milton stood for quite a long time, then he raisedhis arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell with perfectstyle for what seemed minutes. The crowd fell silent. The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far, far below.But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic, waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream. When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall.It didn’t.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away. I don’t think he entered thewater at all. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, he lay still on the surface, spinning like an autumn leaf.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon. Occasionally he accepted small sipsof water, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. Fromhead to toe, he was covered with deep red bruises.... It was the best day of my life.1. What did the writer think of Mr. Milton’s plan to jump from the diving board?A. Crazy.B. Disappointing.C. Heroic.D. Confused.2. In Paragraph 3, Mr Mil ton is described as “a tiny, stick figure” because he was __________.A. tired after swimmingB. very small and thinC. very far awayD. sure to be broken3. Why did Mr. Milton suddenly start swinging his arms and legs during the dive?A. He thought it was the best way to slow his fall.B. He lost his confidence and started to panic.C. He was signalling the crowd for help.D. He wanted to show his courage.4. Which of the following sentences from the passage is an example of a fact?A. He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.B. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly outof trees up to three miles away.C. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air.D. He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen ina rowboat ….二、七选五5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching.The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brothertrained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels, "Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can’t do that. "When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can't”The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can't I do that?” Callari said. “That's the whole task right now.”Callari recalls parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?A. They shared the same interests.B Parkers parents had faith in Callari.C. Callari took place of his absent colleague,D Callari was an expert in Down syndrome25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?A. He was good at sports.B. He was out of condition.C. He was looked down upon by everyoneD. He was influenced deeply by his brother26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?A. Grateful B Sympathetic. C. Cautious D. Critical27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring story of a disabled boyB. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainerD. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all thetime.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s at titude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

growing need to be able tocarry out more and more precise measurements． "Drug companies will soon be wanting to useingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even

discussion about the importance of promotingso﹣called "boy ﹣ friendly" books that boys supposedly"prefer" ． These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works ， asmany people believed that boys prefer to read non ﹣ fiction ．But this belief is not supported by recent research ， which in fact suggestsboys are morelikely to choose to read fiction than non ﹣ fiction ． Encouraging all boys toread

also provide access to libraries during lessons throughoutthe years ofschooling ． Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys ， and asstudents move tohigher grades they often have less access to libraries during class ． Access tobooks for boys isessential to promote reading ．In addition ， we should keep paper books available because research showsthat boys areless likely to choose to read on screens than girls ． Finally we should promotereading as anenjoyable pastime by being a role model． Let your children or students seeyou read forpleasure．（ 1）According to the author ， what

Simultaneously，important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand ﹣delivered to the offices of all the major news companies．One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin ， a business reporter at The Post．The card was beautifully designed ﹣ a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters．There was no explanation on the back ，just a website address．Chris went to the website．Its style was identical to the card's and said ："Anytime ：Starting Tomorrow ． "The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime ．Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon？ A joke？Something illegal ？Anytime's marketing had worked ﹣it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale．When the opening came，that day at noon，the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read ，"What do you want ？" All you had to do was type the words into that box ，and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered ：within one ，ten，or twenty ﹣four hours．Bloggers were the first to test the service ．And their reviews were glowing ．Within weeks，Anytime had become a part of daily life ．Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster．Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was．He tried to find out who owned the company，but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public ．He did find some interesting facts，though．Anyone who challenged the company，it seemed，met with serious trouble ． A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiminghe was dishonest．The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin．Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to themafter opposing or criticising Anytime ．By lunch ，he had more than one hundred examples．Something was definitely wrong ．Chris worked on his list the rest of the day ，emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records．After working through the night ，an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a．m．．When he woke a few hours later ，there was a message flashing on his computer screen："Stop making trouble ．" Chris smiled ．He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track ．（1）What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin ？A ．An invitation to a company opening ．B．The website address of a new company．C．The words "Anytime ：Starting tomorrow" ．D．The words "Anything you want ，anytime you need it" ．（2）Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters ？A ．Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising ．B．Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers．C．So the reporters would write stories about the new company ．D．So people would find the new company interesting ．（3）What did Chris' s research suggest about Anytime ？A ．It may be very dangerous ．B．Its popularity would soon decrease ．C．It was doing business all over the world ．D．It was being widely criticised by journalists ．（4）How did Chris feel at the end of the story ？A ．Scared that he would get into trouble ．B．Confident that he would find the truth ．C．Nervous about what the company

bell jars．It has lain there for more than a century ，its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal ．First，the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft ，alcohol﹣soaked cloth．Then it is steamed with pure water ．Finally ，the 1kg cylinder is returned ，carefully ，to its resting place．Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual ，but has a purpose．The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining ，circular metal is its holiest relic ．It is the defining mass （质量）against which all other kilograms are measured．This is the international prototype ，or standard，of the kilogram ．The IPK ，in short．Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made ．They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations' weights and measures systems ．But the days of the IPK ，in its current form ，are numbered．The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement ﹣based on electric current ﹣in order to define the mass of an object．The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned ．"One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security ，" says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson．"If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed，we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system ．There would be chaos．The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris ，after all．"Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements．"Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram，" says Robinson．"We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy．"（1）What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs ？A ．It's cared for with great devotion ．B．It's used in religious ceremonies ．C．It's beautifully designed and decorated ．D．It's the most valuable metal in the world ．（2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5 ？A ．rebuiltB．removedC．destroyedD．upgraded（3）What is a reason for replacing the current IPK ？A ．To protect the metal cylinder from damage ．B．To make taking measurements more economical ．C．To provide all countries with the same standard ．D．To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness ．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text ？A ．No more kilosB． A heavy technologyC．The future of the kiloD．The history of measures第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10

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

Ifs no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world—but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes.Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed.Additionally,they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout,says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people,individual or non-competitive activities like biking,running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an4t all or nothing approach71to exercise.This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan,not to mention being super competitive.However,this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine,which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results,Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress.They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan,which prevents them from seeing results.They are often less willing to deVote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments,so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember,there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics.Just keep in mind what you like.21.Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A.They will feel like they are being evaluated.B.They don't like socialising with other people.C.They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D.They fear they511be let down by their teammates.22.Type A personalities can be best described as_.mittedB.flexibleC.independentD.sensitive23.What is the purpose of the text?A.To help people understand what personality type they are.B.To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits.C.To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise.D.To describe diflcrent types of workouts that are available today.typical pre-teen.She loves to skip rope,read and play with her younger sister.But this modest youngster,who composed her first musical work at age six,first short opera at age seven,and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten,is anything but average.Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent,young Alma is being described as"little Mozart"by the music world.Alma's operatic take on the classic fairy tale,which she began writing at age eight,has a slight twist.Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song.t4In my Cinderella,she sings the beginning of a ballad—but at midnight she flees.Eventually,the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.^^ The opera was first performed in Vienna,Austria on December29,2016,where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works,one in Austria and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young,Alma is not worried.She says,"Of course1have to work hard.But all children have to work hard for exams,and at least when I work hard,I work hard for something incredibly exciting,like seeing my whole opera put on stage."Alma's musical talent first came to light before she could even talk.Her parents recall that as an18-month-old toddler,she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children's rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However,Alma's abilities only gained international attention in2012,after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart.The family was suddenly swamped with media requests and Alma became an overnight star,dubbed/'little Mozart".This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.They would instead prefer her to be called“a composer and musician^^.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either,saying,'There was only one Mozart,and I prefer to be little Alma."Regardless of what she calls herself,the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24.What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A.She comes from a famous musical family.B.She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C.She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D.She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25.How did Alma get to be widely known?A.Through an online video.B.By performing on television.C.By putting on an opera.D.Through her parents*promotion.26.What is Alma's attitude towards her success?A.She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B.She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C.She is modest about her musical achievements.D.She is proud to have become a professional musician.27.What can we infer about Alma's parents?A.They are very well-educated people.B.They are protective of their daughter.C.They have pushed Alma to take up music.D.They have made a good life plan for Alma.cThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away.Despite evidence to the contrary,we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before.But this is nothing new.People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever have happened in history.In the1930s,the British economist（经济学家）John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spent most of their time doing nothing.In the United States during the1960s,the government repeatedly investigated fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available.In1988,one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within10years because of computers.Of course,none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom,the United States and Australia,or anywhere else.Yet today,we are seeing the return of these predictions,with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change.They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available,or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is little evidence to support such beliefs.Statistics show that the percentage of people in work,the number of hours they work,and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past20years.This stability should not come as a surprise.There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work.New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story.What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies.With the introduction of these technologies,goods and services can be produced faster,which results in higher real incomes for workers.Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them.Additionally,while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers,they will also increase demand for other types of workers,especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So,the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past.But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction,to reduce people's fears.28.What is the function of the second paragraph?A.To explain the importance of developing new technology.B.To show how technology affected employment in the past.C.To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29.How can employment statistics over the past20years best be described?A.Confusing.B.Reliable.C.Stable.D.Variable.30.According to paragraph7,why does demand for products often increase after new technology isintroduced?A.There are more goods for people to choose from.B.There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C.Productivity improvements help raise workers*salaries.D.Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31.What is the author's opinion about the introduction of new technology?A.It does not have an effect on most people's jobs.B.Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C.It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.__Supermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk,including soy,nut, and coconut milk.These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows'milk for health reasons,as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability.While the dairy-free（非乳制的）options work well with cereal or in coffee,they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt.However,these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past,thanks to a new company in California,which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in2014after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows'milkalternatives,particularly for cheese.For Gandhi,who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns,the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza.Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some^really bad" dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products.In their university lab,the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast（酵母）.This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier,has a longer shelflife and,most important of all,is Earth friendly.According to the company's website,when compared to conventional milk production,their process uses65%less energy,creates84%less greenhouse gas emissions and requires91%less land and an amazing98%less water!Best of all,since it contains real milk proteins,the product behaves like the cow-produced version,which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows'milk alternatives available to i32.The underlined word"those"in paragraph1refers to_______.A.alternativesB.peopleC.productsD.reasons33.The company^founders were motivated to make the new product because of______.A.their deep concern for the environmentB.their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC. the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34.What can be inferred from paragraph4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D.The dairymilk will be more expensive than cow's milk.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Healthier CheeseB.New Milk Saves PlanetC.

The air was cool and bullfrogscroaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed hereyes and looked around."Hello? ”she called. "Celia? Marie?"There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it Island ”bec“a uFsoergotten no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forestrangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was asecret between the three friends - her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault."Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat, "Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was ahopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusaltook the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here byherself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill ( 寒意) downher back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad,who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worriedexpressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fastthe water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly atMarie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.2019.7What can be inferred about the island?A. It is very near the ocean.B. It is a popular place for boating.C. It is surrounded by thick forest.D. It has never been reached by others.2019.8 Why did Lina get angry?A. Marie would not help row the boat.B. Lina was left alone on the island.C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.2019.9What caused Lina to feel a chill?A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.B. The first raindrops of the approaching storm.C. The idea that no one would come to save her.D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.2019.10 Who pulled Lina out of the water?A. Marie's father.B. Lina herself.C. Marie.D. Celia.CTourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even removethe need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our wakinglife is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as "mind wandering". During these eventswe're not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we're recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to howwe react to everyday life. VR can create these same feeling.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. Inrecent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limitthe number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, andeven to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourismmay provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinationsand recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.2019.11What is driving the development of virtual tourism?A. Companies seeking to make more money.B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.C. People's demand for more shared experiences.D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.2019.12Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.2019.13What does the underlined word “it ”in the last paragraph refer to?A. Science fiction.B. Virtual technology.C. Virtual tourism.D. The real world.2019.14What is the purpose pf the passage?A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, "Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are." The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and antsare quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybeesand ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find itby leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using theirsense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance forthe other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one stepfurther. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach theirforaging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food andteach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actionsand accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as themay be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.2019.15What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.2019.16What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.2019.17In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning ?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions.D. By presenting study findings.2019.18 What is the benefit of collective intelligence?A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.C. It reduces the division of labour among members.D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.第二节(共5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work af age six. first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average・Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as "little Mozart'" by the music world.Alma's operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her C inderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song・ **ln my Cinder 11 a, she sings the beginning of a ballad— but at midnight she flees ・ Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad."The opera was first perfbnned in Vienna, Austria on December 29, 2016, where the then clcvcn-ycar-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, one in Austria and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young. Alma is not worried・ She says, "Of course I have to work hard・ Bui all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when 1 work hard, 1 work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage/'Ahna's musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Iler parents recall that as an 18-nionth-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children s rhyme 7\vinkle Twuikle Little Sian However, Alma's abilities only gained intcniational attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requests and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed "little Mozart M. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. I hey would instead prefer her to be called "a composer and musician'1・Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, "There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma." Regardless of what she calls herself, the tw elve-year-old is changing (he world of music forever?24.Whal do we know about Alma Dcutschcf?A.She conies from a famous musical family.B.She has shown great musical talent from a young age・C.She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D・ She has adapted some famous works of classical music・25.How did Alma get to be widely known?A.Through an online video.B. By performing on television・C. By putting on an opera・D・ Through her parents* promotion.26.What is Alma s attitude towards her success?A.She is still unsatisfied with her performance・B.She is uncomfortable with so much pressure・C.She is modest about her musical achievements.D.She is proud to have become a professional musician.27.What can wc infer about Alma s parents?A.They are very well-educated people・B.They are protective of their daughter.C・ They have pushed Alma to take up music.D・ They have made a good life plan for Alma・CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away・ Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in ils Gonscquunccb for work than ever be lure ・Bui ihis is Jiothing new ・People have always viewed the technological changes that take place dunng their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever have happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist （经济学家）John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spent most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigated fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available・ In 丨98& one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers・Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdoin. the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, wc arc seeing the remm of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change・ They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or arc bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is little evidence to support such beliefs・ Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours lhey work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise・There arc good reasons why wc should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work・ New tcchnohgies always cauj>c job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available・One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies・With the introduction of these technologies, goods and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers・ Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers arc needed to make them・ Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise・So. the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people s fburs.28.What is the function of the second paragraph?A.To explain the importance of developing new technology.B.To show how technology affected employment in the past.C.To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious・I). To give historical examples of unncccssary r fear about neu technology.29.How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. Confusing.B. Reliable.C. Stable.D. Viiriable.3(). According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A.There are more goods for people to choose fhuri.B.There is more demand for new skills in the cconomy・C・ Prcxiuctivity improvements help raise workers * salaries.【).Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption・31 ・ What is the author^ opinion about the introduction of new technology?A.It does not have an effect on most people's jobs・B.Its benefits arc usually not worth the introduction・C.it usually leads to a significant increase in employment・D.Its danger to people's employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy. nut. and coconut milk. These products arc popular with consumers who cannot drink cows' milk for health reasons, as well as with [hose concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free (非乳制的)options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk・based products like cheese or yogurt・ However, these shoncomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory?Pcrumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows' milkalternatives, particularly for cheese・ For (iandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza・ Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some ^really bad" dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich・The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided （o join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products・ In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast （酵母）.This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelflife and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company's website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84% less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow・p「oduccd version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there arc already numerous good cows' milk alternatives available to consumers ・32・The underlined word “those" in paragraph 1 refers to.A.alternativesB. people C・ products D. reasons33.The company's founders were motivated to make the new product because of ___________ ・A・ lheir deep concern for the environmentB.ihcir worry that farm animals were poorly ircaiedC・ the over-consumption of the dairy -based products【）.the poor taste of dairy・fircc cheese presently available34.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy・bascd ones・C.Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage・D.The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow's milk.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Healthier CheeseB.New Milk Saves PlanetC.Fresher Milk, Better FutureD.Making Milk without Cows笫二节（共5小题;每小题2分・满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文麻的选项中选出能填入空白处的讯件选项。

reading．These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys，and have a more positive attitude toward reading．There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣based differences．Parents read more with their daughters．This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls，as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage．Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls，girls still receive more encouragement to read from theirparents．So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially﹣engineered gap for boys' reading？To improve boys' reading performance，parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading．This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so﹣called "boy﹣friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer"．These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works，as many people believed that boys prefer to read non﹣fiction．But this belief is not supported by recent research，which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non﹣fiction．Encouraging all boys to read non﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful．Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability．Besides encouraging more fiction reading，there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books．Firstly，don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time．To match boys with suitable reading material，have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling．Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys，and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class．Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading．In addition，we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls．Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model．Let your children or students see you read for pleasure．（1）According to the author，what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability？A．Social factors．B．Teaching methods．C．Personal preferences．D．Psychological differences．（2）Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading？A．To persuade boys to read more often．B．To learn what boys are most interested in．C．To help boys improve their language ability．D．To show that adults are good reading role models．（3）When should schools give students additional library access according to the author？A．Before and after class．B．At any time of the school day．C．At regular times during class．D．When they are in the lower grades．（4）What is the main purpose of the text？A．To show students ways to improve their reading．B．To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls．C．To urge governments to provide more reading resources．D．To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability．3．（8分）"Anything you want，anytime you need it．"The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time，on the same day：December 12th，at 12 p．m.. Simultaneously，important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand﹣delivered to the offices of all the major news companies．One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin， a business reporter at The Post．The card was beautifully designed ﹣ a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters．There was no explanation on the back，just a website address．Chris went to the website．Its style was identical to the card's and said："Anytime：Starting Tomorrow．"The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime．Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon？ A joke？Something illegal？Anytime's marketing had worked ﹣it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale．When the opening came，that day at noon，the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read，"What do you want？" All you had to do was type the words into that box，and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered：within one，ten，or twenty ﹣four hours．Bloggers were the first to test the service．And their reviews were glowing．Within weeks，Anytime had become a part of daily life．Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster．Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was．He tried to find out who owned the company，but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public．He did find some interesting facts，though．Anyone who challenged the company，it seemed，met with serious trouble． A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiminghe was dishonest．The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin．Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to themafter opposing or criticising Anytime．By lunch，he had more than one hundred examples．Something was definitely wrong．Chris worked on his list the rest of the day，emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records．After working through the night，an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a．m．．When he woke a few hours later，there was a message flashing on his computer screen："Stop making trouble．" Chris smiled．He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track．（1）What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin？A．An invitation to a company opening．B．The website address of a new company．C．The words "Anytime：Starting tomorrow"．D．The words "Anything you want，anytime you need it"．（2）Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters？A．Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising．B．Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers．C．So the reporters would write stories about the new company．D．So people would find the new company interesting．（3）What did Chris' s research suggest about Anytime？A．It may be very dangerous．B．Its popularity would soon decrease．C．It was doing business all over the world．D．It was being widely criticised by journalists．（4）How did Chris feel at the end of the story？A．Scared that he would get into trouble．B．Confident that he would find the truth．C．Nervous about what the company would do．D．Satisfied that he had discovered the company's secret．4．（8分）Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris， a small metal cylinder （圆柱体）rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars．It has lain there for more than a century，its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal．First，the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft，alcohol﹣soaked cloth．Then it is steamed with pure water．Finally，the 1kg cylinder is returned，carefully，to its resting place．Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual，but has a purpose．The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining，circular metal is its holiest relic．It is the defining mass （质量）against which all other kilograms are measured．This is the international prototype，or standard，of the kilogram．The IPK，in short．Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made．They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations' weights and measures systems．But the days of the IPK，in its current form，are numbered．The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement ﹣based on electric current ﹣in order to define the mass of an object．The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned．"One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security，" says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson．"If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed，we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system．There would be chaos．The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris，after all．"Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements．"Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram，" says Robinson．"We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy．"（1）What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs？A．It's cared for with great devotion．B．It's used in religious ceremonies．C．It's beautifully designed and decorated．D．It's the most valuable metal in the world．（2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5？A．rebuiltB．removedC．destroyedD．upgraded（3）What is a reason for replacing the current IPK？A．To protect the metal cylinder from damage．B．To make taking measurements more economical．C．To provide all countries with the same standard．D．To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？A．No more kilosB． A heavy technologyC．The future of the kiloD．The history of measures第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）It was the 2015 "super storm" in New South Wales that restored my faith in people．During a break in the weather，I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some groceries．However，as I left the supermarket and drove back，the weather took a turn for the worse．（1）Having nowhere to go，I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the situation．He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway．（2）The man，who introduced himself as Trent，then invited me to wait inside his house with his wife，Kayti and their two daughters．I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car，as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail （冰雹）．Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car．（3）Fortunately，his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail．By 11：00 a．m．，the electricity and phone services had both gone．（4）Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off．The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better．I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family．When the hail stopped，I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye．（5）I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people．As I went out the door，I asked Trent for two of his business cards．My father has since called to offer him a job as a clerk at his company．A．It began pouring so heavily that I was forced to stop．B．The couple were so modest as I thanked them for their help．C．I was surprised that he didn't ask for anything in return for his assistance．D．I was grateful to escape the running water that was about to drown my car．E．I tried driving faster to escape the heavy downpour that was sure to come．F．As a result，I couldn't contact my parents，despite knowing they'd be worried．G．He was wet but he didn't seem to mind being out in the wild

2．（8分）Across the world ， studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading ． These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys ， and have a more positive attitude toward reading ．There are several reasons that help explain these gender ﹣based differences ． Parents read more with their daughters ． This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls ， as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage ． Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls ， girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents ．So So how how how can can can parents parents parents and and and educators educators educators help help help bridge bridge bridge this this this socially

educators educators educators may may may look look look for for for ways ways ways to to connect boys with reading ． This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so ﹣called "boy ﹣friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer"． These are typically assumed to be non ﹣fiction works ， as many people believed that boys prefer to read non ﹣fiction ．But this belief is not supported by recent research ， which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non ﹣fiction ． Encouraging all boys to read non ﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful ． Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability ．Besides encouraging more fiction reading ， there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books ． Firstly ， don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time To match boys with suitable reading material ， have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests ．Schools Schools should should should also also also provide provide provide access access access to to to libraries libraries libraries during during during lessons lessons lessons throughout throughout throughout the the the years years years of of schooling ． Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys ， and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class ． Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading ．In addition ， we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls ． Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable

The air was cooland bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn'tyet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around."Hello?” she called. "Celia? Marie?"There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it “ForgottenIsland” because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the mapsthey could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hiddenin a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends - her, Celia, andMarie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault."Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat, "Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. Theargument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her currentproblem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill ( 寒意) down herback.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, theysaw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did sheremember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulledher out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. Theydidn't seem to mind becoming wet.24.What can be inferred about the island?A. It is very near the ocean.B. It is a popular place for boating.C. It is surrounded by thick forest.D. It has never been reached by others.25. Why did Lina get angry?A. Marie would not help row the boat.B. Lina was left alone on the island.C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.26.What caused Lina to feel a chill?A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.B. The first raindrops of the approaching storm.C. The idea that no one would come to save her.D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.27. Who pulled Lina out of the water?A. Marie's father.B. Lina herself.C. Marie.D. Celia.CTourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connectionswith the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. Withthe evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combinationof physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believeit can. Studieshave shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imaginedexperiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This isknown as "mind wandering". During these events we're notpaying attention to the current worldaround us. Instead, we're recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the samepathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined pastor future can createemotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feeling.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are severalways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitivelocations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, andCambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of theirnegative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allowtourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visitancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork,virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves andas people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, bothin combination with the real world and instead of it.28.What is driving the development of virtual tourism?A. Companies seeking to make more money.B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.C. People's demand for more shared experiences.D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.29.Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.30.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Science fiction.B. Virtual technology.C. Virtual tourism.D. The real world.31.What is the purpose pf the passage?A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They surviveby means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughoutthe group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. AsDeborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, "Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are."The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have alot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roleswithin the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to dangeror to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of thecolony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movementto communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance".Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees calledscouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker beesthat indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, thebetter the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" toaccomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown thatants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinatecomplex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as the may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.32.What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.33.What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.34.In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions.D. By presenting study findings.35. What is the benefit of collective intelligence?A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.C. It reduces the division of labour among members.D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
