In a moment, he disappeared up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said “To the Tower”, and decided to21 him.I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was 22 to see the attendant (工作人员) selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and 23 the wall with the fingers of the other, the blind man reached the stairs 24 to the hallway.“That man is blind. What would a blind man climb up the tower for?” I said to the attendant, expecting him to show some 25 , but he didn’t answer.“Not the 26 certainly,” I said. “Perhaps he wants to 27 .”I bought a ticket and 28 up the stairs. The man hadn’t gone as far as I 29 . A third of the way up the tower, I heard his 30 . I slowed down and followed him at a little 31 . He stopped from time to time. When he got to the balcony, I was a dozen steps 32 . As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower.At last, after ten minutes, I 33 him. “Excuse me,” I said as politely as I could, “but I am curious to know 34 you came up.”He smiled. “Coming up the stairs, you will notice how not just light but sun 35 into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the 36 —the cool stairs suddenly become quite warm—and how up here behind the wall there is 37 , but as soon as going opposite a window you can find the sun. There is no 38 so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I’ve come up.”The blind man seemed quite 39 just like a child who was enjoying his favorite games. He told me the truth that blind men can also find the beauty in life 40 they cannot enjoy the sights of the world.21.A.accept B.follow C.control D.visit22.A.frightened B.disappointed C.surprised D.embarrassed23.A.touching B.climbing C.hitting D.covering 24.A.pointing B.attaching C.contributing D.leading 25.A.respect B.doubt C.concern D.sympathy 26.A.view B.test C.prize D.trick27.A.kick B.jump C.relax D.escape 28.A.struggled B.explored C.wandered D.hurried 29.A.promised B.examined C.imagined D.confirmed 30.A.steps B.words C.secrets D.cheers 31.A.standard B.distance C.expense D.intention 32.A.ahead B.around C.outside D.behind 33.A.recognized B.surrounded C.approached D.witnessed 34.A.why B.how C.when D.whether 35.A.knocks B.pours C.slides D.bursts36.A.trend B.reaction C.change D.honor37.A.light B.space C.mess D.shade38.A.place B.signal C.object D.period 39.A.nervous B.content C.curious D.patient 40.A.unless B.because C.once D.although【答案】21.B22.C23.A24.D25.C26.A27.B28.D29.C30.A31.B32.D33.C34.A35.B36.C37.D38.A39.B40.D【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者跟随着一位盲人登塔,盲人告诉他尽管盲人们无法享受世界上的风景,但他们也能找到生活里的美。

While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.1.What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?A.They were treated cruelly.B.They were abandoned in streets.C.They received warm welcome.D.They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.2.Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?A.People should adopt the dogs and cats.B.Animals are too cruel to humans being.ernment can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.D.It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.3.What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.updateB.replaceC.post againD.download4.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A.No Chinese city joins this type of movement.B.San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.C.Americans care about animals more than humans.D.More and more cities are involved in animal rights.3、 Two deer jumped out in front of 16﹣year﹣old Amanda Floyd's car. She stepped on the brake, sopping the car just in time. But later, she strted texting.Distacted (分心的),Amanda turned left and right, then crashed into another car. Luckily, she wasn't in a real car﹣﹣she was in a driving simulator (模拟器) at Roosevelt High School, Ohio,US. "I never really realized that cars make a turn that much," Amanda, a Junior, said. She added that she wouldn't text while driving anymore.The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, while texting, or while talking on the phone.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distacted driving chaimed 3,450 1ives in 2016 alone. Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.The simulator is basically a computer program. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a seringn whee! (方向盘) ,brake and gas pedal (油门踏板). It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.Students choose a distraction, such as driving while drunk or texting. They always crash, of course. Then, they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving: how much damage they've caused, what their fine is, if anyone died in the accident, and if they're going to go to prison."It teaches how to drive without being on the road," said Shante Thompson, 16. She had just crashed into a deer.ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates."Driving is such a major responsibility, so take it seriously" he said."Put away your cellphone. A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It can not only change your life, but it can change someone else's life forever. The results are serious."1.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph One?A.Introduce the topic of the text.B.Illustrate the author's point of view.C.Provide some advice for the readers.D.Offer some background information.2.Why is the driving simulator project introduced to Roosevelt High School?A.It tests the students' ability to stay focused.B.It gets students to have fun between classes.C.It teaches students how to deal with taffec accidents.D.It makes students aware of the dangers of distracted driving3.What can we know about the driving simulator?A.It is connected to the local police station.B.It is a real car but has large computer screens.C.It atracts the students' intrest as a computer program.D.It benefits the students who use it more than those who only watch.4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Traffic rules in Ohio, US.B.Danger of distracted driving.C.Simulated driving for students.D.Advantages of computer games.4、Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinkingin sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reducedair-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.1.What's the author's attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Uncaring.2.Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A.To follow an old practice.B.To help reduce energy use.C.To completely replace air conditioners.D.To help cut down on daily expenses.3.What's the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?A.All parties should get started at the same time.B.The basic architecture should be finished first.C.Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.D.Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.4.What would be the best title for the text?A.Waste less, live betterB.Goodbye, air conditioningC.How to reduce the energy costD.Green buildings call for integrated design5、When you are dealing with a stressful situation or going through a hard time, people in your life can help you. When someone who cares knows what you’re goingthrough, it helps you feel understood and not so alone ①__________ Problems seem smaller when you talk about them with the right person.You can do better and find out solutions more easily when you share your problems.There are lots of different ways to get and give help ②__________ Other times you need advice on things.

AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill ( 寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15 ℃in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance ( 文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of fights is ofered by EasyJet - from Bristo, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister arline Iberia combine fores from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Miniterios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city entre is €4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; €5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of €30 covers most of central Madrid.1.When will the exhibition about Picasso close?A. On 23 March.B. On 11 May.C. On 24 June.D.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5.What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.6.What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7.How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“ By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA BoardMember Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull ( 颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A.To raise safety standards of sports.B.To protect athletes from concussions.C.To set rules for health care evaluation.D.To help players return to the game quickly.9.What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides ( 杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumersbelieve it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria ( 病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13.What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15.Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5 小题:每小题2.5 分,满分12.5 分)由水浒教育老师整理提供!阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child's bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a basket of chum into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the boxes of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of them.I lifted it off and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not enough to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous leather belts with metal buttons around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (纹身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to loosen the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.”My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a human heart in a simple act of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (先入为主) I may have had. I will never forget it.1.What does the underlined word “chum” mean in Paragraph1?A.Gifts. B.Food.C.Goods. D.Souvenirs.2.Why did the author loosen the box when seeing the man?A.The author didn't want to buy it. B.The man needed it more.C.The author was frightened by the man. D.The man got the box first.3.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Best Christmas Gift. B.The Largest Man I Have Ever Seen.C.An Unforgettable Bike. D.A Shopping Experience.BAs technology in the security field advances, so does the intelligence of the burglars in prevailing over this technology. Gone are the days when a simple alarm system, connected to your phone line, was enough to protect you from potential security risks.Cellular alarm systems (蜂窝报警系统)are a replacement of the traditional wired phone line security networks. These systems work just like your cell phone. A cellular module is placed in the main control panel and it sends signals, without the use of wires, to the monitoring station. The cellular signal is sent via the data part of a cellular signal, much like a text message.Sensors can be placed anywhere in your house. Whenever there is an emergency, the relevant sensor picks up the unusual activity and sends a cellular signal to the main control panel. The control panel serves more than one purpose, which sends a cellular signal at the same time to the monitoring service at the back end. The monitoring service later informs the relevant authorities in the form of high-pitched sirens (高音警笛声). Typically it takes a few minutes for emergency services to arrive at the scene. Depending on the efficiency of your monitoring service and the local authorities, help should arrive soon and deal with the potential threats.It allows you to monitor your house remotely. All you have to do is simply access the cameras from your phone and keep a check for any unusual activities while you are not around. With cellular te chnology securing your house, you don’t have to worry about the power failure or even burglars cutting your phone lines.Since these systems operate on batteries, you should be careful about when the batteries die out. There might be other appliances including microwave ovens and WiFi in the house that can cause disruption (干扰). Ensure that your cellular alarm system's range is not affected by the presence of these appliances. Many homeowners tend to go for wireless systems due to the ease of installation (安装)factor. However,keep in mind that a non-professional installation might actually leave the system easy to damage. 4.What do the underlined words ''prevailing over'' mean in Paragraph 1?A.Improving. B.Defeating.C.Worrying about. D.Looking into.5.How can the authorities know an emergency is happening?A.They hear high-pitched sirens.B.They read the cellular signal.C.They check the control panel online.D.They notice the unusual activity via sensors.6.What can we know about the cellular alarm system?A.It looks like a phone. B.It is energy-saving.C.It needs to be improved. D.It is wireless.7.What's the purpose of the last paragraph?A.T o give cautions about the system.B.To introduce the benefits of the system.C.T o call on people to watch out for security risks.D.To teach people to install the system correctly.CBluePlanetII's latest episode (情节) focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that seacreatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don' t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. We can all start bythinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.8.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A.The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B.Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C.Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up.D.The world couldn't possibly function without plastics.9.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A.By citing quotes from leading experts. B.By making a comparison and contrast.C.By listing examples from his own experience. D.By presenting solid statistics.10.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A.We reap what we sow. B.The shortest answer is doing.C.All things are difficult before they are easy. D.Actions speak louder than words.11.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The oceans become choked with plastic. B.Ocean plastic is a global issue.C.BluePlanetII has left viewers heartbroken. D.Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.D“If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since youcan be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations.Intellectual hu mility means recognising that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means weshould acknowledge that we're probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand andseek out the sources of wisdom that we lack.The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist TaniaLombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions (错觉) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding — and the more easily we can recall an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs of the apps and sites that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they recognise that their own opinions might not be valid.At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias –the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully.The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people tum into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operation s, notes.12.The passage is mainly about ______.A.the harm arrogance does to usB.the key elements to a fulfilling lifeC.the significance of intellectual humilityD.the way people access information online13.Technology enhances our illusions of wisdom because it ______.A.enables people to think criticallyB.offers too much unreliable informationC.allows easy access to abundant informationD.makes it hard for people to recall information14.According to Para.3, intellectually humble people ______.A.val ue others’ opinions more than their ownB.use online information to better themselvesC.are unwilling to show their strengthsD.prefer to solve difficult problems15.The author will probably agree that ______.A.intellectual arrogance is the result of evolutionB.intellectually arrogant people often lack team spiritsC.successful people are often unaware of their limitationsD.circumstances don’t favor intellectually arrogant people 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。

Over time organic farming became more difficult.The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply.Small companies had to sell out to large companies.There weren’t enough organic ingredients(原料),such as grain and cattle.This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business.Today,many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious?This is part ofthe debate.Many farmers and consumers believe it is.They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such ascancer.Many health professionals disagree.Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria(病毒),such as E.coli and salmonella.These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food.Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better.Is tastier food worth the extra money?This is a matter of opinion.Whether it is healthier or not may require more research.However,organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers? A.Price.B.Safety. C.Freshness.D.Variety.13.What is the doctors’suggestion?A.Grow your own food.B.Reduce the use of pesticides.C.Make sure the food is clean.D.Buy large companies’products.14.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A.It tastes better.B.It is easierto grow.C.It contains more fat.D.It is more nutritious.15.Where does this text probably come from?A.A recipe book.B.A chemistry paper.C.A medical report.D.A health magazine.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020年全国普通高等学校招生统一考试英语模拟卷(八)(解析版)
2020年普通高等学校招生统一考试英语卷(八)(时间:100分钟,满分:120分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A (2019·江西省三校联考)A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to“read” human personalities.The eyes,they say,are the windows to the soul.And if that is true,computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul.That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality,conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,”wrote the researchers,led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher,whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements,then determined their personality traits with“well-established questionnaires”for determining the personality type,according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits,such as “neuroticism,extraversion(外向),agreeableness,conscientiousness,as well as curiosity”,the scientists wrote.“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices,even robots,allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,”Loetscher said.“People are always looking for improved,personalized services.Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information,“Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express.This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural,and better at interpreting human social signals.”The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies,according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。
