Most people, no matter 23 successful they are at work, will find the processof 24 small talk unfortable, even pointless. 25 , you will have a pretty small world 26 you refuse to let others in. Starting off with a casual ment or question will make others 27, and even just greeting them with a simple “hello” will often be enough.Once you have made the first 28, there is no turning back. You need to keep things 29 before you can gracefully say goodbye. Think about what you would like to 30with a new friend and that is what you can ask the other person about. Work, family, hobbies or interests are some 31points of discussion. To keep the ball rolling, you can show that you are really 32in what they are saying. Once you find mon 33of interest, things will definitely 34off from there.Small talk can 35out to be a pleasant experience. The conversation 36 be brief and casual without turning into a long and boring discussion. Do not let yourself 37the conversation. Stop worrying about how big of a fool you may appear to be.

The area is considered important in terms of biodiversity, featuring nearly 35 species of whales and dolphins, 150 types of fish and three of the world’s seven sea turtle species. It is also geologically significant, including the world’s longest chain of underwater volcanoes a nd the second deepest ocean trench, into 10 km underwater —deeper than Mount Everest’s height. The scale of the sanctuary will dwarf (矮化) any previous New Zealand’s protected area, spanning twice the size of the country’s mainland. It will cover 15% of Ne w Zealand’s economic zone.mercial and recreational fishing will be pletely banned, as will oil, gas and mineral prospecting (勘探), exploration and mining. Key’s government aims to pass legislation establishing the sanctuary next year."The sanctuary is a world-class, unspoiled marine environment and New Zealand is proud to protect it for future generations,"Key said."New Zealanders value our coasts and oceans, which are an important part of our culture, economy and environment and we are mitted to managing them sustainably. Creating protected areas will support not only our own fisheries, but those of our Pacific neighbors, adding to New Zealand’s efforts to help grow Pacific economies through the responsible management of their ocean resources."Nick Smith, New Zealand’s environment minister, said the sanctuary might impose a cost upon the mining industry but that it is important to protect the ocean before exploration takes place."New Zealand needs to use its vast ocean resources for jobs and exports in industries like fishing, aquaculture, minerals and energy, but we also need to set aside special areas where nature es first and marine life is fully protected,"Smith said.New Zealand will monitor the area via its navy and satellite technology. The Kermadec region will join three other key areas in the Pacific protected by the US, the UK and Australia.Matt Rand, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Global Ocean Legacy (遗产) campaign, weled Key’s announcement."New Zealand will create the gold standard of con servation areas in the sanctuary, preserving one of the few relatively unspoiled areas of ocean on Earth,"hesaid."This mitment is an exciting step toward meeting global goals to safeguard at least 30% of the ocean through fully protected marine reserves."1.Why is the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary important in biodiversity?A.It has a superior geographical location.B.It has many different kinds of sea animals.C.Its environment is suitable for the growth of marine life.D.It is the only unspoiled area of ocean remained on Earth.2.Which of the following will Key probably agree on?A.People are allowed to fish for fun in the sanctuary.B.All Pacific countries should be responsible for ocean resources.C.New Zealanders attach great importance to protecting the sanctuary.D.New Zealand has made great achievement in creating protected areas.3.What can we infer from what Nick Smith said?A.New Zealand should develop its marine industry in special areas.B.The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary may affect New Zealand’s mining industry.C.New Zealand hasn’t figured out how to make full use of its ocean resources.D.Measures should be taken immediately to protect the ocean after explorations.BHave you thought about what you want people to say about you after you’re gone? Can yo u hear the voice saying,"He was a great man."or"She really will be missed."What else do they say?One of the phenomena of life is to engage in a work that will last long after death. Isn’t that a lot like investing all your money so that future generations can get interest on it? Perhaps, yet if you look deep in your own heart, you’ll find something drives you to make this kind of contribution — something drives every human being to find a purpose that lives on after death.Do you hope to memorialize your name? Have a name that is whispered with reverent awe? Do you hope to have your face carved upon 50 feet of granite rock(花岗岩)? Is the answer really that simple? Is the purpose of lifetime contribution an ego-driven desire for a mortal(凡人的) being to have an immortal name or is it something more?A child alive today will die tomorrow. A baby that has the potential to be the next Einstein will die from plications at birth.The circumstances of life are not set in stone. We are not allmeant to live life through to old age. We’ve grown to perceive life as a full cycle with a certain number of years in between. If all of those years aren’t lived out, it’s a tragedy. A tragedy es about because a human’s potential has never been realized. A tragedy es about because a spark was snuffed out before it ever became a flame.By virtue of inhabiting a body we accept these risks. We expose our mortal flesh to the laws of the physical environment around us. The trade-off isn’t so bad when you think about it. The problem es whe n we construct mortal fantasies of what life should be like. When life doesn’t conform to our fantasy we grow upset, frustrated, or depressed.We are alive; let us live. We have the ability to experience; let us experience. We have the ability to learn; let us learn. The meaning of life can be grasped in a moment. A moment so brief that it often evades our perception.What meaning stands behind the dramatic unfolding of life? What single truth can we grasp and hang onto for dear life when all other truths around us seem to fade with time?These moments are strung together in a series we call events. These events are strung together in a series we call life. When we seize the moment and bend it to our will, a will driven by the spirit deep inside us, then we have discovered the meaning of life, a meaning for us that shall go on long after we depart this Earth.1.Why are people devoted to a career lasting long even after their death?A.Because they want to achieve more.B.Because they want to benefit their generations.C.Because they want to find the meaning of their life.D.Because they want to make others satisfied with them.2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Life is always changeable.B.Life is always invisible.C.Life is always predictable.D.Life is always reliable.3.The author thinks the risks in our life are.A.frustratingB.worthwhileC.dangerousD.challenging4.What can we learn about wills according to the last paragraph?A.Events drive us to explore our wills.B.Events are made up of wills of our life.C.Moments are realized by spirit and wills.D.We should live our lives according to our will.CA busy public square in the Chinese city of Nanjing is home to an unusual experiment.For almost two months, the country’s first “honesty bookshop” has occupied(占据)a sidewalk on HanZhong Road in the city’s Gulou District.With no cashier or other staff, the store relies on trust for payment.Making money isn’t the pany’s main goal and they don’t punish those who take books without paying.“If they can really finish the books, it doesn’t matter if they took the books for free,” Zhu Yu , the marketing director of the pany says.“In fact, we are really happy to witness so many people taking books from the honesty bookshop.”After browsing the four wooden bookshelves, customers must drop their money in a locked box.Prices are set at 30% of the usual cover price.Zhu hopes that his sidewalk store, which sells, on average, 60 books a day ,will make more people interested in reading.Like elsewhere,e-books are affecting sales of traditional books, And traditional books and many independent booksellers are struggling.Zhu got permission from the city government to use the sidewalk and says he’s determined to make it a long-term project.He says th e store is open every day, except when it rains ,and it’s locked up each night.In September last year, the pany laid out 1,000 books and reading lamps on the ground and encouraged people“ to go on a date” with a book.“Independent bookshops represent the well-being of the city.” Zhu told CNN in xx, “when a city is losing its bookshops, it’s actually losing something in its soul.”[KIf the success of the Honesty Bookstore is any guide, Nanjing’s soul is in pretty good shape.1.How is the bookstore different from other bookstores?A.

高考真题周周练〔16〕阅读理解AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note —“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery〞—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.21. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ______.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother22. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.23. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.24. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.BWhile small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population,〞 said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.〞Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere. Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses' Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh,6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.25. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. To provide better services.B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.D. To attract more people to become its members.26. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?A. 7′2″.B. 7′.C. 6′6″.D. 6′3″.27.What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A. They may lose some customers.B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.28. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.B. 6′6″ beds have taken the place of 6′3″ beds.C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.D. Guest rooms are standardized.广东语法填空阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

高三英语周考1 Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints(指纹) and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge (隆起) structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. 2 Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take. Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can by recorded easily. 3 Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. 4When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye.5 Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.A. Special techniques are used to "develop" them.B. A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all part of the finger.C. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.D. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.E. A latent print is the chance reproduction of the friction ridges deposited on the surface of an item.F. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.G. Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.BIt is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most do not fully see this truth. 6 It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.7 Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomforable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.89 When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.10 As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.A. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure.B. Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing.C. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.D. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.E. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.F.We can register to make money and participate in problem solving collaboration (合作、协作) groups.G. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.C11With the invention of the Internet several decades ago, do you feel that since then it has made us human beings feel more connected to the world and one another, or has it isolated(使孤立)us and made us feel more alone than ever before?What about you as an individual?● 12 The Internet enables us to know what’s happening in the world. We couldn't imagine talking to people everywhere in the world twenty years ago.● 13 It unites us because we talk to others from all around our country and tha world, but the Internet can be addicting, and keep us away from people for a while, There is an inherent (内在的) human need for direct human contact (e.g. touching, talking face to face, etc.) that the Internet has all taken away.● 14 It has given me freedom beyond my imagination. I’m home-bound with many duties to attend to. My life is a bit too crowded. Duties duties duties. I get lost many times not knowing who I really am!This medium is my best friend. It just lets me BE!I can speak here without fear or favour.● 15 Chatting online is completely different from hanging out with friends outside or hearing their voice over the phone.I find that it’s not just the Internet that has increased this sense of isolation,even iPods,MP3s,such devices kind of separate us,make us lose focus on the everyday happenings of life.A. I think that the Internet isolates as well as unites us.B. I believe it unites us more than it isolates us.C. Do you feel that the Internet unites us or isolates us?D. What is happening in the world today?E. The Internet is playing a more and more important role.F. I think it has isolated us more.G. I am truly grateful for this new technology.DThe official Olympic cheerleaders(拉拉队队长)are a lot different than what you would see on the sidelines at basketball or American-style football games. Cheerleader director Paola Bosio says about 500 girls tried out to become Olympic cheerleaders.“At the end we chose100 girls. We have six groups, three working in ice hockey, two at speed skating and one in the mountains. So this is the first time that there is cheerleading in the Olympic Games.”Fans disagree on whether the cheerleaders are entertaining or just a kind of distraction. After all, they do not actually cheer and they do not wear skimpy uniforms. The all-girl squad(班,队), which ranges in age from 15 to 26, is dressed in bright orange and gold uniforms that cover them almost from shoulder to toe.Besides not cheering for any particular team at an event, the focus of the routines is different. It is not the loud and spirited gymnastic performance one might see at college and high school events in the United States, but is more dance-oriented.Cheerleader Camilla of Turin is 20 years old and has studied dance since she was 10. Her background includes classical dance and ballet as well as modern dance and pop. This is her first time as a cheerleader and she says she is enjoying the new experience.Some fans expressed the opinion that the pom-pom waving and dancing was distracting because it took the focus off the athletic event they had come to see. But Kathy Moine of Los Angeles, California, had a different understanding, as well as an interesting theory about the cheerleader’s costumes.“I think they’re just supposed to be neutral and they’re supposed to be the Olympic torches,”she said.“Not for any country but just supporting everybody, happy to be in the Olympics.”If by definition, cheerleaders should cheer for one side and make a lot of noise, then the Olympic squad still has a lot to learn. But if they are just here to look good and liven up the atmosphereduring time-outs, many would agree they have been a complete success.( )16.Where most likely can you enjoy the performance of the cheerleaders?A.In the mountains.B.During speed skating events.C.In a dance-oriented competition.D.At ice hockey games.( )17.We can infer from the passage that _______.A.we would find no cheerleaders in former Olympic GamesB.most of the sports fans are against the cheerleaders C.only Americans enjoy the Olympic Games cheerleaders very muchD.it’s an easy job to be a cheerleader( )18.The example of Cheerleader Camilla shows us that ______.A.all the cheerleaders are young and beautifulB.the cheerleaders should be quite good at dancingC.the cheerleaders are dressed littleD.it is difficult to be chosen as a cheerleader( )19.What’s the main purpose of the cheerleaders according to the writer?A.To support one side or team.B.To draw the audience’s attention.C.To bring a warmer competing atmosphere.D.To dance classical dance.( )20.What’s the best title of the text?A.How Cheerleaders WorkB.The History of CheerleadersC.Cheerleaders Draw Attention at Turin OlympicsD.The Influence of Cheerleaders at Turin Olympics答案:1-5 ___________________ 6-10 __________________11-15___________________ 16-20___________________。

In 2009 he moved again - to OI Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, where it (22) _________ (hope) that the gentle giant would bread and ensure his species' survival. Elodie Sampere, a representative for OI Pejeta, described Sudan as "a gentle giant, his personality was just amazing and (23) _________ given his size, a lot of people were afraid of him, there was nothing mean about him."In 1960, about 2,000 northern white rhinos were estimated (24) _________ (move) about in Central Africa. However, years of fighting, habitat loss and poaching (illegal hunting and killing of wild animals) (25) _________ (drive) the northern white rhino to the very edge of extinction. Now, (26) _________ the passing of 45-year-old Sudan, there are just two northern white rhinos left in the whole world: his daughter, Najin, aged twenty-seven, and his granddaughter Fatu, who is seventeen. (27) _________ (live) in OI Pejeta Conservancy, they are well protected from poachers.The hope of preserving the northern white rhino now lies with scientists and (28) _________ ability to use Sudan's genetic material to artificially reproduce the animal.

This will create what is known as an embryo, (30) _________ can be placed inside a female southern white rhino to allow the baby northern white rhino to grow.Paula Kahumbu, from the Wildlife Direct charity in Kenya, says, "We did not do enough to save this species. Now we must stand up and demand action to prevent the same thing happening to cheetah, elephants, black rhinos and giraffes."Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only beThere are currently more than 500,000 pieces of space junk being tracked as they circle Earth. Space junk, or debris, consists of bits of metal, __31__ satellites and even a space station that is no longer in use, all of it circling the planet. Now this space station is about to fall to Earth.Tiangong-1 was China's first space station. It was __32__ in 2011, but the country lost contact with it in March 2016 and later that year, Chinese officials confirmed that the 3.5-metre-wide __33__ would return to Earth.At the moment, scientists don't know exactly where or when the space station will enter the planet's atmosphere, but believe it will be between 30 March and 2 April. There is no need to worry, though. While scientists can't say where it will land, there is very little __34__ that the space station will hit a populated area. This is because most of it will burn up in Earth's atmosphere - a(n) __35__ of gases that protect the planet. Also, because most of Earth is covered in water, scientists think that if there is any debris, it will fall __36__ into the sea.As the __37__ landing date gets closer, scientists will be able to determine where it will fall - if necessary - steps will be taken to keep people safe and __38__. A statement by Aerospace, a US company that advises the US government about space travel, said, "In the history of spaceflight, no known person has ever been harmed by __39__ space debris(残留物)."One thing scientists are confident of, though, is that wherever it enters the atmosphere, the debris will create a spectacular fireball for anyone __40__ enough to see it.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Governments are keen on higher education, seeing it as a means to boost social mobility and economic growth. Almost all sub-sidise(补贴)tuition - in America, to the tune of $200 billion a year. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and __41__ the costs of expanding university education. As more young people seek degrees, the returns both to them and to governments are __42__.Spending on universities is usually __43__ by the "graduate premium" - the increase in earnings that graduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes,__44__ an economic boost for society as a whole. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit of calculation. Part of the usefulness of a degree is that it gives a graduate job-seeker an advantage__45__ non-graduates. It is also a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that someone already has in order to get into a university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is not always the best __46__ of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. With degrees so __47__, employers are using them as a way to screen applicants.Non-graduates are thus increasingly __48__ decent work.In any case, the premium counts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third of university students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn in as higher education __49__ and who are most likely to drop out. They pay fees and __50__ earnings to study, but see little improvement in their future incomes. When dropouts are __51__, the expected financial return to starting a degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Many school-leavers are being __52__ about the probable value of university.Governments need to offer the young a wider range of options after school. They should start by rethinking their own __53__ practices. School-leavers should be given a wider variety of ways to gain vocation skills and to demonstrate their __54__. If school qualifications were made more difficult to get, employers would be more likely to trust them as signals of ability, and less __55__ degrees. "Micro-credentials" - short, work-focused courses approved by big employers infast-growing fields, such as IT - show promise.41. A. calculate B. cover C. ignore D. demonstrate42. A. truer B. lower C. fuller D. earlier43. A. supervised B. justified C. increased D. analysed44. A. add up to B. make up for C. put up with D. stand up against45.

A. .availability B. employ-ability C. sociability D. individuality55. A. insistent on B. surprised at C. curious about D. restricted to Section BDirections: Read the following two passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I wanted the pleasure of being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was so large it contained many untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to call the bush, and to wander around. There I had lived and worked, happily, almost forty years ago, in the heart of the greenest continent.In those old undramatic days of my school teaching in the bundu, folks lived their lives on bush paths at the end of unpaved roads of red clay, in villages of grass-roofed huts. They had anew national flag, they had just gotten the vote, some had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes. They were hopeful, and so was I, a schoolteacher living near a settlement of mud-huts among trees and fields - children shouting at play; and women bent double - most with infants on their backs - hoeing(锄地)the corn beans; and the men sitting in the shade.The Swahili word safari means 'journey', it has nothing to do with animals, someone 'on safari' is just away and unobtainable and out of touch. Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be. The wish to disappear sends many travellers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party's extension, being kept waiting all your working life. But also being kept waiting is the human condition.Travel in the African bush can also be a sort of revenge on mobile phones and email, on telephones and the daily paper, on the aspects of globalisation that allow anyone who chooses to get their hands on you. I desired to be unobtainable. I was going to Africa for the best of reasons - in a spirit of discover - simply to disappear, to light out, with a suggestion of I dare you to try to find me.Home had become a routine, and routine make time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable routine: people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk. I was in such regular touch it was like having a job, a mode of life I hated .. I was sick of being called up and asked for favors, hit up for money. You stick around too long and people begin to impose their own deadlines on you.56. What did the writer expect from his journey?A. To have a variety of enjoyable experiences.B. To see how Africa had changed.C. To see impressive scenery.D. To meet some old friend.57. Forty years ago, how did the writer feel about the future of the country where he was living?A. Little was likely to change.B. Things were likely to improve.C. Women would do most of the work.D. People's expectations were too limited.58. In paragraph 3, what reason does the writer give for wanting to travel to Africa?A. He wanted a change of activity.B. He wanted people to be unable to contact him.C. His health was suffering from staying at home.D. He had been waiting to return to Africa for long.59. The writer says 'I was a sitting duck' in paragraph 5 to show that _________.A. he was boringB. he was easy to findC. he had a fixed lifestyleD. he was always lending money(B)The house style that dominated American housing during the 1880s and 1890s was known as Queen Anne, a curious name for an American style. The name was, in fact, a historical accident, originating with fashionable architects in Victorian England who coined it with apparently no reason other than its pleasing sound. The Queen Anne style was loosely based on structures built long before 1702, the beginning year of Queen Anne's reign(统治期).A distinctive characteristic found in most Queen Anne houses is the unusual roof shape (illustrated in the picture on the right) - a steeply pitched, hipped central portion with protruding lower front and side extensions that end in gables. It is often possible to spot these distinctive roof forms from several blocks away. Another feature of this style is the detailing, shown in the wood board siding cut into fanciful decorative patterns of scallops, curves, diamonds, or triangles. Queen Anne houses are almost always asymmetrical(不对称的). If you draw an imaginary line down the middle of one, you will see how different the right and left sides are, all the way from ground level to roof peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparound porch(门廊)that includes the front door area and then extends around to either the right or left side of the house.Queen Anne houses faded from fashion early in the twentieth century as the public's taste shifted toward the more modern Prairie and Craftsman style houses. Today, however, Queen Annehouses are favorite symbols of the past, painstakingly and lovingly restored by old-house buffs and reproduced by builders who give faithful attention to the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first popularized more than one hundred years ago.60. Why does the author use the word "curious" (in paragraph 1) in describing the name of an American style?A. The style was invented before Queen Anne's reign.B. The style was more popular in Victorian England.C. The name was accidentally misspelled.D. The name did not originate in America.61. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2 about the Queen Anne style?A. It was not very popular.B. It had to be build in the city.C. It combined several other styles.D. It was elaborate and fancily decorated.62. According to passage, why did Queen Anne houses go out of style?A. People started moving to the suburbs.B. People came to see them as a symbol of the past.C. People were more interested in newer house styles.D. People could no longer afford to build such large houses.(C)What will the development of quantum computers(量子计算机)mean for our civilisations? Oh sure, better cryptography(密码方式), "more powerful" processing, but bottom line, we just don't know ... yet.This phenomenon isn't unique to quantum computing, of course. It's something we see time and gain with all new world-changing technology. In some ways, it's how we can define a technology as world-changing: everyone agrees it's going to be hugely important, but nobody can predict exactly what impact it will have.The internet remains the classic example. Although invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet was still being dismissed as something that is fashionable but unlikely to last. Most commentators thought it nothing more than a curiosity.There's a famous 1999 interview between David Bowie and BBC journalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bowie predicts that the internet will change the nature of music, and remove the "barriers between creator and audience". The longer he spoke, the more Paxman said in anger that Bowie could possibly believe this about the internet.To be fair to Paxman, in 1999, internet at home meant accessing it over a modern. Concepts like WeChat and Netflix and more simply could not work over such limited bandwidth. But there were still some people who assumed that bandwidth would increase and that streaming music and video would be possible soon enough. They were laughed at.Oddly enough, as the dot-com boom intensified, many turned from doubters to hopeless optimists, and lost serious money building websites to deliver content that simply couldn't "fit" down the inter-tubes of the day.Then in the second decade of the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Forget showing a nice little video in your browser, today Nexflix can serve you a TV show in 4K, as long as you have 25Mbps connection.Quantum computing isn't a consumer technology, of course. It's a much bigger deal than that. Quantum computing is more like the invention of the transistor(电子晶体). Sure, most people have heard of it, but few understand it. Actually, we don't even really understand it. But we're reasonably comfortable that when a lab has that many scanning electron microscopes, it must be doing something important, right?Quantum computing is still at the stage of "hit it with a hammer until it works". Sure the hammer is microscopic, and also a laser or magnetic field of some kind, but the point is we're going through the process of turning the idea into reality.Sooner than you think, though, qubit-based computers are going to get applied to stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest of us.This is how the world begins. Not with a bang, but with a lot of extremely hard work behind the scenes.63. What attitude did most people take towards the internet in the 1990s?A. Optimistic.B. Unconcerned.C. Doubtful.D. Defensive.64. The example of the internet is intended to illustrate that ________.A. it is hard to define what is world-changing technologyB. the internet was universally acknowledged as importantC. the influence of new technology is usually unpredictableD. the internet inspired many debates in the following years65. By "hit it with a hammer until it works", the writer means that quantum computing ________.A. has been questionedB. has been fully understoodC. hasn't been heard of beforeD. hasn't been applied to practice66. What can be concluded about new technology from the passage?A. Its development is a gradual process.B. Most is the brainchild of a scientist.C. Not all is accessible to the public.D. Its future is often a top secret.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.The internet already enables patients to seek online consultations when and where it suits them. Yet change demands a shift in emphasis, from providers to patients and from doctors to data. ________67________ Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to monitor their own health. The possibilities multiply when you add the crucial missing ingredients - access to your own treatment and also to provide data to help train medical programmes.________68________ One is better diagnosis. Someone worried about their heart can now buy a watch strap containing a medical grade monitor that will detect arrhythmias(心律失常). Apps are trying to see if they can diagnose everything from skin cancer to Parkinson's disease. Research is under way to see whether sweat can be analysed for molecular biomarkers without the need for an invasive blood test.A second benefit lies in the management of complex diseases. Diabetes(糖尿病)apps can change the way patients cope, by monitoring blood-glucose levels and food intake, potentially reducing long-run harm such as blindness. Akili Interactive, a startup, plans to seek regulatory approval for a video game designed to stimulate an area of the brain implicated in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.________69________ Although health records are increasingly electronic, many still contain data that machines cannot read. This can lead to delays in treatment, or worse. Many of the 250,000 death in America owed to medical error each year can be traced to poorly arranged care. ________70________ On January 24th Apple laid out its plans to ask organisations to let patients use their smartphones to download their own medical records.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Change Is Needed In Youth SportsEverywhere you look, you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis bat. And these kids are getting younger and younger. Children can even compete on basketball, baseball, and volleyball teams starting at age nine. The youth soccer organization has teams for children asyoung as five. And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four, to prepare children for competition.It's true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of our national Olympic teams. But what about the others - the average kids? This emphasis on competition in sports is having serious negative effects.Children who get involved in competitive sports at a young age often grow tired of their sport. Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it. A survey found that 79 percent of parents of young athletes wanted their children to concentrate on one sport. But 66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport - for fun.Another problem is the pressure imposed by over-competitive parents and coaches. Children are not naturally competitive. In fact, a recent study by Paulo David found that most children don't even understand the idea of competition until they are seven years old. Very young kids don't know why their parents are pushing them so hard.The third, the biggest, problem for young athletes is the lack of time to do their homework, have fun, be with friends - in short, time to be kids. When they are forced to spend every afternoon at sports practice, they often start to hate their chosen sport. Researchers found that 70 percent of kids who take part in competitive sports before the age of twelve quit before they turn eighteen. Many of them completely lose interest in sports. Excessive competition takes away all the enjoyment.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 对进口设备的禁令还未取消。

Grammar and VocabularySection ANorway is Teaching Travelers to TravelAfter 15 people died during Easter in 1967, the Norwegian Trekking Association and the Red Cross announced their campaign ‘Welcome to the mountains, but be responsible’. Fjellv ettreglene, the ‘m ountain co de’ (21) encourages people to have a healthy and respectful relationship with nature, has since become a crucial part of Norwegian culture. It includes points such as bringing necessary equipment (22)(assist) yourself and others, seeking shelter if necessary and feeling no shame in turning around.Nationally, Norway (23) (experience) an 11% increase in tourism in the past decade. From just 1,000 tourists in the whole of 2010, Trolltunga, a piece of rock that stands horizontally out of the mountain, (24) (see) 1,800 visitors in one 2017 day alone. Why? Because people want the same picture they see on Instagram and Facebook. A lot don’t care about the experience of the hike. They just want proof (25) they did it. But, while good for the economy, this tourism boom has become a threat (26) Norway’snatural environment.Used toilet paper, (27) (abandon) tents and plastic bottles can be found littered all aroundTrolltunga. And with the high amount of people who come unprepared for such an active hike, Norway’s leading hiking group, Friluftsliv, also has called for regulations on the number of tourists (28) (hike) to Trolltunga. Lasse Heimdal, leader of the outdoor organization said, “On a busy day, you may have to wait in line for an hour and a half just to get a picture.

After scoring up positive feedback, the review website 31 the pub over fine dining establishments from New York to Paris in its 32 Traveler s’ Choice awards.So what’s it got going for it?Firstly, this isn’t some backwater pub enjoying in insignificance. Tommy Banks, a(n) 33 young cook, is already a TV regular in the UK and has had a Michelin star to his name since becoming the youngest receiver ever in 2013 at the age of 24. Secondly, it’s not really a pub anymore. Like many rural UK pubs, the Black Swan had been in 34 for many years before 2006, when Banks’ family took over. After their attempts to run it as a pub struggled, they decided to make it a dining 35 .It now operates as both restaurant and fashionable 36 offering food-and-stay packages that help draw customers to its truly 37 location.

Reading ComprehensionSection ACould Buying Paintings Make You Rich?Is investing in paintings a good way to get rich fast? And how should you invest in art?“With extreme 41 ” is the advice of Patrick Connolly, a financial adviser. “We don’t 42 our customers to invest in art because the downsides are greater than the upsides. It doesn’t produce income or earnings. What you 43 is exclusively based on supply and demand, and there are big movements upwards or downwards if there are changes in the economic environmen t,” he said.To invest in art as a true investment, you need a starting fund of at least $5,000. But it’s not just about having enough 44 to buy the painting in the first place. Expensive works of art are often stored in protective boxes complete with detectors to monitor humidity and temperature levels, and to protect them from sun damage or other 45 such as a spilled cup of coffee. And if you do put it on your wall, then your insurance costs are likely to be high. If word gets out that you have expensive art hanging on your wall, then you’re likely to be a 46 for thieves.Art is also not a regulated investment so when things go wrong – for example, an artwork turns out to be a fraud(赝品) – then investors cannot fall back on 47 for any repayment.Of course given the current environment of low interest rates, that’s still a(n) 48 return than many savings accounts will give you.

Yet you don’t necessarily have to be super-wealthy to invest in art. There are a growing number of art fairs and online marketplaces aimed at buyers with a more 52 budget. Most art industry experts suggest that you buy a piece of art because you like it, not because you want to get rich.

It covers almost every aspect of mille nnials’experiences on their path toward adolescence – their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distancefrom their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.Post-00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s “charact ers” grow older for real, and their stories are all real.“Coming-of-ag e” stories, as th ey’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help butfeel the cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re-writing of the script(剧本) and there’s no turning back –this is real life.This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr – played by US actor Ellar Coltrane – from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.One of Boyhood’s appeals comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr isn’t some child geniu s…He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video games.While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary – the power of life itself.56. In the documentary, we see post-00’s growing experience EXCEPT .A. how they deal with their studiesB. how they help look after brothers or sistersC. how they get along with people of their ageD. how much they long to be independent of their parents57. What do Post-00 and Boyhood have in common?A. They’re intended to win an award for best director.B. The heroes and heroines are characters themselves.C. They’re a kind of reality show of ordinary kid s’ growth.D. The stories are based on true life but polished by writers.58. Audience are interested in “coming-of-age” st ories because .A. they can see the truth of lifeB. they know the characters wellC. they are much fond of gossipD. they appreciate stories of daily life59.

It is traditionally family-baked in Scotland.(C)①Australians have long been known for having a relaxed and casual attitude to life. According to Dr. Tanya King, senior lecturer from Victoria’s Deakin University, “It’s Australian s’ egalitarianism, sense of humor and informal language that are most commonly mentioned as examples of this attitude”.②Egalitarianism roots in the way that the nation was built. In Australia’s founding era in the late 1700s, criminal settlers were often cruelly treated and robbed of their basic human rights by governors. The criminal class, who were mostly working-class Brits and Irish, was unable to seek civic positions that were reserved for immigrants who were not the criminal, with the latter arguing that if criminals gained equal rights it would be ‘rewarding criminality’. Because of this, an egalitarian spirit was worn as a symbol of honor by many criminal settlers. They may not have had power, education or wealth, but they had a shared belief inequality.③The informal way Australians use language is also believed to root in criminal times. Philologist Sidney Baker once wrote that ‘no other class would have a better talent for creating new terms to fit in with their new conditions in life’. Cockney rhyming slang brought over by the British working class was abbreviated even further – so ‘have a Captains Cook’ (have a look), became ‘ava captains’. This samepractice was used to economize ordinary clauses. Words like ‘good day’ became ‘g’ day’, and barbecue was‘barbie’.④The tough conditions of settler times also played a part in Austral ians’ dry, self-criticizing and sarcastic(讽刺) sense of humor. While in many countries it’s considered poor taste to find humor in difficult circumstances, Australians tend to look at the lighter side. On one road trip, as I hit the state line and entered Victoria, I drove past some blackened trees, the leftovers of a recent bushfire. A road sign warning drivers about wildlife was half-melted and bent, but the shape of a hopping kangaroo was still distinct. Behind the figure, someone had drawn flames making it look as though the animal’s tail was on fire. I couldn’t help but laugh – it was a brilliant reminder of the country’s ‘n othing upse ts us’ and anti-authoritarian attitude.⑤And one thing you can’t help but notice when driving around Australia is the country’s plentiful amounts of space. This, along with considerable leisure time plus favorable climate, all contribute to Australian s’ relaxed attitude.63. The underlined word “egalitarianism” is closest to in meaning.A. criminalityB. crueltyC. equalityD.governmentalism64. Which of the following is a feature of the way Australians use language?A. They use more slangs than other people.B. They give new meanings to existentwords. C. They favour shortened formsof expressions. D. They coin terms inmemory of criminal times.65. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. Kangaroo s’ living conditions are getting tougher.B. Forest fires threaten Australians’ life to a great extent.C. Potential danger is here and there on the roads in Victoria.D. Australians’ jokes may not be as careless as they seem on the surface.66. The passage mainly talks about .A. how the late 1700s impacted AustraliaB. why Australians enjoy casual life so muchC. what contributes to Austral ians’ relaxed lifestyleD. how Australians present their attitude towards lifeSection CA. That turned out to be not exactly correct.B. But Buchanan warned against such an assumption.C. But a number of business organizations say it should remain untouched.D. But what works for a clothing company might not work for a different one.E. Raising the minimum wage is identified as a key way to address the income gap.F. For opponents of a wage increase, increasing the minimum wage could reduce totalemployment by about 500,000 jobs.More Clarity Needed on Wage DebateThese days, the minimum wage has become something of a big issue in America. (67)_ For supporters, 16.5 million low-wage workers could see an increase in their weekly earnings and 900,000 people could rise above the poverty line.Gap Inc, has decided to increase the minimum hourly rate it pays employees to %9 this year andthen$10 next year. The company’s announcement will affect 65,000 Gap employees by 2017. ClearlyGap officials believe the money they invest in higher wages will pay off in increased sales and customer satisfaction. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that. (68)_Also last week, Wal-Mart found itself at the center of the wages gossip when it was reportedthat the company was looking at suppo rti ng an increase in the minim u m wage. (69)_Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the company remains neutral on the idea of aminimumwage increase, but “obviously it’s something that we look at closely, as any other company would”.She said that more than 99 percent of company associates are paid above the current minimum wage.It has been discussed how increased income for low-wage workers might translate into increased pending. So it’s reasonable to say that a company like Wal-Mart could see a jump in sales if the minimum wage rose. (70) “That is assuming that consumer behavior would be, ‘Ifthey have more money, they’ll spend more mon ey’” she said. “That isn’t always necessarily true.If we had a crystal ball, we could guess that consumer behavior would be in the future if a minimum wage increase goes through. But you just don’t”V. Summary WritingAre Open Offices Good for Us?Four years ago, Chris Nagele did what many other technology executives have done before —movedhis team into an open concept office. His staff had been entirely working from home, but he wantedeveryone to be together, to connect and cooperate more easily. It quickly became clear, though, thatNagele had made a huge mistake. Everyone was distracted and productivity suffered and the nineemployees were unhappy, not to mention Nagele himself. About three years after moving into theopen office, Nagele moved the company into a 10,000-square foot office where everyone now hastheir own space — complete with closing doors.Numerous companies have held the open office — about 70% of US offices are open concept— and very few have moved back into traditional spaces with offices and doors. But research thatwe’re 15% less productive, we have huge trouble concentrating in open working spaces, hascontributed to a growing criticism against open offices.Beside the cheaper cost, one main argument for the open workspace is that it increasesteamwork. However, it’s well documented that we rarely brainstorm brilliant ideas when we’re justshooting the breeze in a crowd. Instead, as many of us know, we’re more likely to hear about theChristmas gift a colleague is buying for a family member, or problems with your deskmate’sspouse.For jobs that require focus like writing, advertising, financial planning and computerprogramming, some companies that aren’t ready to abandon open plans are experimenting withquiet and closed spaces. The trouble with that, is some of us don’t feel comfortable leaving the teamto go off on our own – it can feel as if we’re not pulling our weight if we’re not present. That’sparticularly true in high-pressure environments. Some of us even feel that escaping to a quiet roomis a sign of weakness.I.Translation72. 选举的结果很快便在全世界传播开了。

D.By proving some theories.CA full-time nanny is employed by the parents to provide high quality childcare for their children and to undertake all tasks related to the providing of that care. Nannies provide childcare in the family’s private home.Full-time nannies with parents meet the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of the children. They typically do the children’s laundry, keep the children’s areas neat and clean, and prepare meals and snacks for the children. Depending on the age of the child and the family’s needs, the nanny may be responsible for bathing the child, transporting the child to activities and assisting the child with homework.Since nannies work in the private home and serve as caretakers, and educators, nannies must be trustworthy. Nannies are often hired so that parents can fulfill their personal and professional tasks. For this reason, nannies must be dependable and reliable.Full-time nannies work on average 40 to 60 hours per week and may live with the family as live-in nannies. For parents who hire a live-in nanny, at minimum they should provide a separatebedroom and bathroom and all meals and snacks. One of the benefits of nanny care is that the parents set the nannies weekly schedules. Nannies are typically required to have some scheduling flexibility.Nanny employers must pay what is commonly referred to as the nanny tax, which includes social security taxes and medi-care taxes, total about 7.65% of the nanny’s wages. The other federal tax is referred to as FUTA . It is the Federal Unemployment Tax. State unemployment taxes may also apply and vary from state to state.In addition to nanny employer taxes ,the nanny is responsible for her share of the FICA taxes. Nannies are responsible for paying their own income tax payments, however many employers agree to manage the payments for them.Typical nanny benefits include 2 weeks of paid vacation, paid sick days and paid personal days and full contributions to health insurance. Nanny employers may also wish to contribute to a retirement savings plan for their nanny.28.What does a full-time nanny usually do?A.She should do all the tasks connected with childcare.B.She must be able to communicate well with the family.C.She should provide excellent care for the family.D.She must avoid dealing with her private secrets.29.We can learn from the second paragraph that .A.the nanny should stop the kid from eating snacks.B.the parents must prepare every meal for the nanny.C.the nanny should be a person with education.D.the parents must take responsibility for the nanny.30.If you applied to be a full-time nanny .A.you would work at most 8 hours a dayB.you would get your private spaceC.you would work seven days a weekD.you would have no time of your own31.What do you know about the nanny tax?A.The nanny must pay such a tax according to her wages.B.The tax is almost one-fifth of the nanny’s wages.C.The employers should pay the nanny tax for nannies.D.The tax is said to be the highest of all taxes.DThis is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever. While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.It’s not that his peers disliked this boy; it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; anotherhuge rejection.Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.32.The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. failedB. learnedC. achievedD. misunderstood33.What can we infer about the boy in Paragraph 2?A. He was hated by his peers.B. He achieved great success in drawing in high school.C. His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios.D. He earned the praise from Walt Disney Studios.34.In the last two paragraphs, we are advised _______.A. to open up our eyesB. to believe we can make a differenceC. to learn more skills for developmentD. to ask for more appreciation and love35.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Nobody Is a Nobody.B. A Hard-working Boy Is Successful.C. We Should Turn Failure into Success.D. One Cannot Succeed without Talents.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。

attractive.However,making up is not a must for their good image.Parents tend to play a role in a teenager’s life.They like to control their freedom and have a say on what the teenagers do.Therefore,teenagers have cases of disagreements,disputes,quarrelsand even run­aways from homes among some teenage girls.To avoid this,parents should be more in their teenagers’s shoes.There are also negative problems that may pop out during a teenage life.Some teenagers are easily affected by the mass media and the people around them.They may be involved in violent behavior,drugs taking,smoking,drinking and so on.Others tend to let off their anger by destroying public property.There will be more harm than good if nothing is done.1.Why are teenagers’ lives full of ups and

or school that uses small dots to create an image.Traditionally,the dots of paint are applied to the canvas(画布) in such a way that their colors blend visually to create a smooth impression.The style was founded on ideas about how colors mixand how our eyes interpret dots of color when they are close together.Pointillism was developed by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in the 1880s.It was first called “divisionism”.The name “pointillism” developed only later,and was intended to tease the style.Today “pointillism” is an accepted term for this style,and has no teasing meanings.Some people still use the term “divisionism”to refer to paintings similar to pointillism.While pointillism uses small dots to create the impression of form and structure,divisionism creates unique color impressions by using dots of different colors.In a typical pointillist painting,you might see a colorful landscape that appears to include a wide range of lively colors.If you look closely,you will see that this bright color is really made up of tiny dots of yellow,green,and blue.By changing the bination of dots of primary colors,pointillist painters can create the false impression that they are using many more colors than they ing the viewer’s eye and brain to mix the colors can create a brighter impression than just mixing colors that absorb light.So the greenish blue color you see is brighter and more vivid than the color that would have resulted if the painter had mixed yellow,green,and blue paint together.The white canvas between dots can add to this effect.Pictures in magazines and newspapers are printed in a method similar to pointillism.Small dots of only three or four colors are printed in such a way that they create the false impression of other colors printed on the page.Even photos are printed this way.Additionally,electronic screens like TVs use a similar technique.Screens display dots of red,blue,and green,and our eyes and brains understand these collections of dots as rich color images.Learning about pointillism is interesting from more than just an art historical point of view.The masters of pointillism created eye­catching masterpieces using this technique,but anyone can understand the basic concepts behind it.Because so many of our modern technologies rely on similar ideas to create the images we see around us,pointillism is an attractive subject.Children can learn about and practice pointillism in order to get hands­on experience that can help them to understand color mixing better.6.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The origin and influence of pointillism.B.The importance of pointillism in the art field.C.Tips on making an amazing pointillist painting.D.Relationship between pointillism and divisionism.7.The difference between pointillism and divisionism lies in .A.the brightness of dotsB.the shape of dotsC.the size of dotsD.the color of dots8.What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?A.The concept of pointillism.B.The history of pointillism.C.The way pointillism works.D.The application of pointillism.9.What’s the author’s attitude towards learning pointillism? A.Supportive. B.Critical. C.Neutral. D.Negative. 10.Which statement about pointillism is TRUE?A.It has much to do with the pictures we see every day.B.It is a popular style of painting developed in the 1890s. C.It is mainly used to help develop children’s creativity now.

queue?Social networking sites,such as micro­blog,blog and the Facebook,have actually become 2 of the school hallways(走廊),so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to 3 your online 4 and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap,where children were 5 with latest technology and parents were left behind,content to continue their day­to­day lives as they always had because they had no 6 to be good at new technology. 7 ,more and more parents are beginning to 8 just how important social networks are in their lives.This realization has given many parents the 9 to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are 10 to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them;there’s also a certain amount of control over 11 that we don’t get in real life.Sometimes we feel that privacy is 12 when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our 13 lives.On the one hand we don’t want to “refuse” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to 14 .On the other hand if you do accept,then you could have a(n) 15 of being watched and no longer feel 16 to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request.When a teen ignores a parent’s friendly request,it doesn’t 17 mean that they are hiding something,but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be truly 18 .Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the 19 if you do choose not to 20 them to your friends list.1.A.quarrels

Amazon,but some have decided to take the fight up to the online­based store when it comes to local shores.Last week,Amazon confirmed its rapid Australian expansion by announcing that it was searching for a site to build its “fulfillment center”—a large warehouse(仓库) for storing and shipping goods purchased online—but local retailers,including one of Harvey Norman’s founders Gerry Harve y,have said they will make it hard for Amazon to succeed in Australia.Harvey Norman sells electronics,furniture and bedding—all markets in which Amazon hopes to hold a stake,but Harvey has said that he will happily go toe­to­toe with the American behemoth to hold his ground in the Australian market.“In America and other parts of the world,they have just demolished(彻底打败) other retailers,no question about that,and they send a lot of retailers broke,”Harvey told News Corp on Monday.“There is no question they have one ambition,and like Attila the Hun,or Alexander the Great,they just want to demolish everything in front of them and then at the end of the day claim to be victorious and make their own rules.So this is a company that is extraordinary by any measure and challenges every rule that has ever been written about a business.”Some analysts have said that Amazon could take in as much as 3 billion US dollars in sales in its first five years in Australia (around 1 percent of the total 225 billion US dollar market),but Harvey has refuted those claims,saying that local retailers would be putting up “one hell of a fight” when Amazon launches its main retail services in Australia.“We will be out there fighting them like no American retailer has ever fought them,”he said.“Any price that they put we will beat or equal.”Meanwhile,Harvey’s thoughts were backed up by the former CEO of supermarket chain Woolworths,Roger Corbett,who said Amazon would struggle to keep its lower wages and claims of lightning fast delivery to rural parts when it opens in Australia.“Amazon will have an impact on the market place,but they are coming into an already very competitive market,” he told News Corp.21.Why did Gerry Harvey react actively to Amazon’s expansion toAustralia?A.To support other national brands.B.To maintain his own share in the market.C.To realize the Australian market’s diversity.D.To learn from Amazon’s immediate success.22.What is Amazon like according to Gerry Harvey?A.Powerful and creative.B.Aggressive but outdated.C.Ambitious and reliable.D.Promising but adventurous.23.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Amazon will take the lead in Australia soon.B.Amazon has no access to the Australian market.C.Amazon’s service quality needs improving urge ntly.D.Amazon’s expansion to Australia will be challenging.答案精析高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练Ⅰ.1.monitoring

B.Harmonious.C.Penniless. D.Stubborn.5.How did the author's husband support the family?A.By starting a garage.B.By selling food door to door.C.By delivering goods.D.By working as a shop assistant.6.How did the author feel when she saw the basket?A.She was annoyed.B.She was astonished.C.She was terrified.D.She felt a sense of relief.7.What may be the best title for the text?A.A helping hand in timeB.A struggling young coupleC.A tale of potatoesD.A reward from a stranger【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文.“我”和丈夫有两个孩子,很多年前,我们生活贫困,但羞于将处境告诉父母.丈夫用一辆旧卡车送货谋生.一天晚上,“我”在家门口发现一篮子丰盛的食物,那一餐令“我”终生难忘.“我”将永远感谢那位送食物给“我”家的人.【难句分析】There was so much that I couldn't remember it all,but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinner—everything except potatoes.分析:该句由but连接的两个分句构成,其中第一个分句用了so...that...结构,表示“如此……以至于”;第二个分句中we needed to fix a wonderful dinner为省略了关系词that的定语从句,修饰先行词everything.译文:有如此多的东西以至于我都记不全了,但除了土豆,我们准备一顿丰盛的晚餐所需要的东西都有了.4.C考查词义猜测.根据第一段最后一句“My parents lived a great distance away,and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation”可知,“我”的父母住在很远的地方,“我”羞于让他们知道我们的处境;结合该段中的“when we were a young couple with two small children,aged 2 and 4,we were practically impecunious”可知,我们是有着两个孩子的年轻夫妻,据此可以推知,我们的日子过得相当贫穷,才会羞于让远方的父母知道我们的情况.据此可以判断,画线词意为“贫穷的”,故C项正确.A项意为“慷慨的,大方的”,B项意为“和谐的,和睦的”,D项意为“固执的”,都与语境不符.5.C考查细节理解.根据第二段第一句的“My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pick-up truck,carrying groceries for local shopkeepers”可知,“我”的丈夫用一辆旧卡车为当地的店主送货谋生,故C项正确.6.B考查细节理解.根据第三段最后两句“I could hardly believe my eyes.There sat a large basket loaded with food”可知,看到一篮子的食物,“我”几乎不能相信自己的眼睛;据此可以判断,作者很惊讶,故B项正确.A项意为“她感到恼怒”,C项意为,“她感到害怕”,D项意为“她感到欣慰”,都与第三段最后两句的语境不符.7.A考查标题判断.通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了“我”和丈夫有两个孩子,生活贫困,但羞于将处境告诉父母.丈夫用一辆旧卡车送货谋生.一天晚上,“我”在家门口发现一篮子丰盛的食物,那一餐令“我”终生难忘.“我”将永远感谢那位送食物给“我”家的人.据此可以判断,A项最能概括文意,体现文章主旨,故A项正确.C(2018·辽宁大连双基测试)Whenever we see a button,we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases,for example,on adoorbell.But some buttons are actually fake(假的),like the “close”button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the“close”button because they don't have the patience to wait.But lifts'“close”buttons are a complete trick,at least in the US—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US,making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders,the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists,fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases well-being,”said Ellen J.Langer,a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example,pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster,but that was before computer-controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little“white lies”,they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close,it is considered to be worth the effort.8.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To describe different fake buttons.B.To explore the functions of fake buttons.C.To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.D.To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.9.What can we learn about the“close”buttons on a lift in America?A.They work when people press them hard.B.They were designed for a sense of control.C.They never speed up the door-closing process.D.They take the safety of the disabled into account.10.What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A.They can make people feel better.B.They help computers work faster.C.They can control the traffic signals.D.They help pedestrians cross safely.11.Which may be the best title for the passage?A.Buttons in the USAB.Buttons Always LieC.Buttons May Not WorkD.“Close”Buttons on Lifts【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了我们平时生活中所见到的按钮可能是不起作用的.【难句分析】Put psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”,they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.分析:这是一个复合句.句子主干为psychologists found it interesting.it为形式宾语,真正的宾语为that引导的宾语从句;when 引导时间状语从句;because引导原因状语从句.译文:但是心理学家发现,有趣的是,甚至当人们意识到这些“善意的谎言”时,他们仍然继续按那些虚假按钮,因为只要最终门关了,那就被认为是值得努力的.8.B考查推理判断.通读整篇文章可知,作者通过举例子介绍了不同地点的虚假按钮,其目的是探求这些虚假按钮的功能.故选B.A 项“描述不同的虚假按钮”,C项“分析按按钮的不同习惯”,D项“解释虚假按钮的弊端”.A、C、D三项在文中均有提及但不是整篇文章的目的,故排除.9.D考查细节理解.根据第三段第一句中的“making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely”可知,美国电梯里的“关闭”按钮是为了确保残疾人能安全地通过.故选D.10.A考查推理判断.根据第四段中的“fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control”和第六段中的“For example,pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either”可知,人行横道按钮也没有实现其功能,但可以让人们感觉好一点,故选A.11.C考查标题判断.通读全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了有些按钮只是形式上的,而不具备真正的实际功能.故C项“按钮可能不起作用”最符合文章主旨.故选C.D(2018·日照市高三模拟考试)The most popular PE class at Waukegan High School in Illinois,US,takes place in a basement field house.It is the school's version of CrossFit,the difficult physical exercise that has exploded in popularity over the last 16 years at thousands of gyms.It has more than one million devotees and a professional competition shown on ESPN.Schools around the Chicago area have adopted CrossFit to interest students at a time of a rising weight problem among young people,and most say it really works compared with traditional gym classes.“I think it's a great way to teach kids lifelong fitness,especially those kids who aren't interested in hockey,soccer or basketball,”said the teacher,Tracy Haraf from Illinois' Stony Creek Elementary,which devotes half of its PE days to CrossFit exercises.“They think it's tough,but I think they have a lot of fun doing it.”Senior Alexus Wiltz,18,said the workout had improved her performance on the basketball court.“I noticed I was faster.I paid more attention on the court,my defending was better,”she said after a recent class.“It just really helped me.”But some doctors and researchers advise caution,saying the exercises that involve lifting weights can lead to injuries,particularly when performed by few inexperienced people.Doctor Craig Finlayson at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago said he was worried that while strength training is fine for kids,heavy weights could be trouble for teenagers who might hurt themselves by trying to do too much or using poor form.CrossFit Inc.,the company that certifies trainers and licenses gyms,disagrees that its program is more dangerous than other fitness routines.Gym teachers in Waukegan's Greg Moisio,whose two-campus school has about 73% kids taking CrossFit each day,also say the risk of injury can be reduced with proper teaching and CrossFit's flexibility.12.Why have schools around the Chicago area adopted CrossFit?A.To improve students' performance in competitive sports.B.To introduce something more challenging to the students.C.To make traditional gym classes more attractive.D.To help solve the students' weight problem.13.How do the students react to the strength training?A.73% agree it has a bad influence.B.They show little interest in it.C.The majority believe it's effective.D.Most of them think it's of no use.14.What does the underlined word“workout”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.The physical exercise.B.The basketball court.C.Wiltz's performance.D.A lot of fun.15.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.CrossFit is more dangerous than other fitness routines.B.The number of the injured in CrossFit classes is rising.C.Kids may protect themselves if they're trained properly.D.A great number of kids taking CrossFit lack flexibility.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文.为提高学生身体素质,芝加哥周边学校大力提倡学生参与CrossFit训练,培训日益升温,但也同时引发一些医生和研究人员的担忧.12.D细节理解题.根据第三段内容可知,芝加哥周边的学校大力提倡学生参与CrossFit训练,目的是提高学生的身体素质,帮助解决体重上升问题.故选D.13.C推理判断题.根据第三段中的“most say it really works compared with traditional gym classes”可推知,大多数学生觉得这个体能训练是有效果的.故选C.14.A词义猜测题.根据第四段中的“I think it's a great way to teach kids lifelong fitness,especially those kids who aren't interested in hockey, soccer or basketball”可知,Tracy认为CrossFit是教孩子终身健身的好方法,尤其是对曲棍球、足球和篮球不感兴趣的孩子.结合画线词后的“improved her performance on the basketball court”可知,此处的“workout”就是指上文提及的“体能训练”.故选A.15.C推理判断题.根据最后一段最后一句可推知,孩子们如果训练得当就可以保护自己不受伤.故选C.长难句分析:But some doctors and researchers advise caution,saying the exercises that involve lifting weights can lead to injuries,particularly when performed by few inexperienced people.(倒数第三段) 分析:本句是复合句.the exercises that involve lifting weights can lead to injuries为省略了连接词that的宾语从句,作saying的宾语;that 引导定语从句,修饰先行词exercises,在从句中作主语;when引导时间状语从句.译文:但是一些医生和研究者建议小心一些,他们说涉及类似举重的一些练习可能会导致受伤,尤其是当几乎没有经验的人练习的时候.词汇积累:professional adj.职业的,专业的competition n.比赛,竞赛traditional adj.传统的caution

so,then this is not so healthy.__1__ If you fear that you might fall into this category,the following tips will help you to stand up for yourself and regain your self-confidence.__2__Although you may often stay silent if something is wrong or bothers you,it is better to speak your mind right away.You don't have to be rude,but you do have to be firm and direct.Don't do things for others if you don't really want to.Speak up, and soon others will be seeing you in a whole new light.Start small.__3__ This will allow you to practice being brave and self-confident.Tell a person who has cut in line in front of you to move to the back of the line,or tell a salesperson to do that.Before long,you will be confident enough to stand up to your friends and family members.Judge well.When dealing

are so easily pushed around that they come tobe seen as pushovers.G.It's one thing to be confident,but quite another to forcefully say no to an unreasonable request.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了三个避免成为一个耳软心活的人的技巧.1.F首先,由空前的“However”一词可知,本段第二句与第一句之间为转折关系;其次,由语境可知,空处承接上文,空后的“this category”指代空处所讲的情况,F项“遗憾的是,一些人很容易被摆布,以至于被看做是耳软心活的人”与之匹配,所以选F项.2.A空处是本段小标题.根据下文中的“speak your mind right away”和“Speak up”可知,本段主要是说要表达自己的观点,故A 项与此处匹配.3.C根据本段小标题Start small可知,本段主要讲的是从小事做起.根据空后的“a person who has cut in line in front of you”和“a salesperson”可知,叙述的内容与“strangers”有关,故选项C“从同陌生人表达自己(的观点)开始”与此处匹配.4.G根据本段小标题和空前的“exercise good judgment”可知,本段主要讲的是正确的判断是重要的.再根据空后两句可知,面对两种不同的情况应有的反应是不同的,判断是一回事,实践又是另一回事.故G项符合语境.5.E根据空后的“Rome wasn't built in a day”可知,罗马不是一日建成的即要一步一步来,所以E项“如果你又一次陷入了耳软心活的模式中,不要责备自己”与此处匹配.第二部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节(共20小题;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A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.(2018·惠州市高三第一次调研考试)My mother was a gift

Her parents had bought a house on a large plot of land near a gateway to Yosemite National Park. Benjamin could stay with them while she worked at a supermarket in town. He could run around in the hills. What she hadn’t quite accounted for, though, is how the hills are becoming hotter, drier and more dangerous.A year after they moved came the first of an annual series of wildfires, and an asthma diagnosis (哮喘诊断) for Benjamin. One year, they had to leave from their home for a few days. Another year, they bought air-conditioners so they could keep the windows shut when the air got thick an d smoky. This year, just as it seemed like Benjamin’s asthma was relieving, came the Creek Fire in the hills nearby. The air turned white with smoke. The boy had what appeared to be a mild asthma attack.Ms. Blake struggles to explain to him why he can’t be outside exploring. She worries when he goes to school. She wonders how much longer the family will be able to insure their home if rates climb higher —and what they’ll do if insurance becomes unavailable at any price. “It seems every year there’s some major fire,” Ms. Blake said. “We’re smoked out. It’s hard to breathe. It’s always a worry that you’re going to have to flee or you’re going to lose your home.” She said she had spent in the neighborhood of $1,000 this year to equip her home. “To protect my son of course I’m going to do that,” she said. “But it’s fundamentally unfair.”4.

Series of wildfires attacked his living area.C. The weather became hotter and drier.D. The air got thick and smoky in the San Francisco Bay Area.7. How did Ms. Blake feel about the series of wildfires?A. Anxious and angry.B. Concerned and confused.C. Unconcerned and uninterested.D. Positive and hopeful.CNext time you go on holiday, it’s going to feel pretty different. You may have to wear aface mask. And that means getting your point across in an unfamiliar language — all while keeping your mouth covered — could become a bit of a problem.That’s where the C-mask, by Japanese company Do nut Robotics, comes in. It’s a smart, Internet-connected mouth covering that can make calls, raise the wearer’s voice, and most helpfully for travelers, translate conversations into eight different languages.You simply place it over a standard face mask and connect it via Bluetooth to a smart phone. A special app will then allow you to record live conversations, turn them into text and translate them into English, Chinese, French, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish or Vietnamese (currently only from Japanese) — making it easy to understand what people are saying. It won’t actually speak the translated phrases for you, but it does have a built-in amplifier (扩音器) to help you make yourself heard.“We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used what we’ve researched to create a product that responds to how COVID-19 has reshaped society,” Donut’s CEO recently told reporters. The firm has already raised more than 28 million yen via crowdfunding to develop the product, which will go on sale for 3,980 yen in Japan.There are all manner of fashionable, eco-friendly masks you can now get your hands on —check out these in London, Singapore and Barcelona. But in creating an affordable, high-tech mask, Donut could well be on to something.8. The C-mask is developed to ________ .A. seek fashionB. reshape societyC. replace cellphonesD. promote communication9. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How the C-mask speaks.B. How the C-mask works.C. What advantages the C-mask brings.D. What languages the C-mask translates.10. What does the underlined phrase “be on to something” in the last paragraph mean?A. take a lookB. earn a livingC. make a differenceD. issue a warning11. In which column of a website do we probably read this text?A. Health.B. Tourism.C. Fashion.D. Technology.D“The pile of ice is so thick; it extends more than 10,000 feet above the ocean. And if all that ice were to melt and go into the ocean, global sea levels would rise by about 24 feet everywhere around the world.” said Jason Briner, a geologist who studies the ice sheet in Greenland at the University of Buffalo. The ice sheet of the biggest island in the world is melting, and the ice sheet that sits atop it is massive. The ice sheet is melting, of course. But just how much, compared to the past?Briner’s team did a computer simulation (模拟) of the southwest part of the Greenland ice sheet — which he says is a good indicator for ice melting across the entire ice sheet. The researchers plugged past climate data into that model to “hindcast,” rather than forecast, thepast activity of the ice sheet. They then checked the model’s predictions of the past shape and size of the ice sheet by looking at piles of rocks and dirt on Greenland today, which outline the edges of ancient ice. And the simulation was in good agreement with the actual situation.Using that reconstruction of the ice sheet over time, the team could compare the ice sheet’s historic losses to those happening today under human-caused global warming. And they determined that Greenland is on track to lose more ice this century than during any century in the past 12,000 years — possibly four times as much.Finally, it’s up to us how much ice actually melts. If the world goes net carbon zero by 2100, for example, Briner says ice loss could stop entirely at the end of the century, according to one model. “That was what kept me from being completely depressed about our study.”Dozens of countries have already announced goals to go net zero by the middle of this century — so far the U.S. is not one of them.12.
