Their concerns reach far beyond the classroom to others all over the globe.The school of the future will be an amazing melting pot of different peoples coming together to solve real-world problems.Will they even be called “schools” in the future?The teacher-student relationship is changing.

Roger Noakes, who captained（担任队长）the boat, said this was the first time he’d taken out an all-female crew.The girls asked for an all-girls trip in August this year. The crew set sail along with three adults, Noakes and two Sea Cadet representatives. The original plan was for the girls to sail 24 hours a day in rotating shifts（轮流换班）along the coast and then return. Things turned out differently, however. “The first night was difficult because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down,” said Abby Fairchild,16. “Everybody got seasick.” Noakes gave the girls the choice of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water. “But they decided they were going.”The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts. “We’ve learned everything from controlling the boat to putting up the sails while we have rough seas,” said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts. They didn’t make it to their original destination（目的地）in Maine, where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner, due to the weather and winds. They said they weren’t disappointed, however, as they’d learned a lot. “They learned about boating, and above all, they built confidence and character,” said Noakes.8. What was special about the Sea Cadet trip this year?A. It was the longest sailing trip ever.B. It was the first all-female-crew sailing trip.C. It was the most dangerous sailing trip ever.D. It was the first sailing trip for teenagers.9. What happened on the crew’s first day of the trip?A. They all felt sick on the boat.B. Some of them were hurt.C. Their boat was out of control.D. They went into open water by mistake.10. Which of the following best describes these young sailors?A. Strong-minded and having a strong sense of teamwork.B. Hard-working and having great leadership skills.C. Understanding and creative.D. Adventurous and skillful.11. According to Noakes, what was the sailors’ greatest benefit from the trip?A. They knew the sea better.B. They made many friends.C. They got excellent sailing skills.D. They developed good personalities.DTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.12. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B. The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C. The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D. Many problems of usability known by the consumers.13. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B. What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C. Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D. The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product14. What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A. They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B. They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C. They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D. They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB. Feature-heavy Products in DemandC. The More Features, the BetterD. Simplicity Outweighs Complexity第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

高考英语模拟试卷题号I II III IV V总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AThe earth is a mysterious place that never stops to amaze．There are many places completely unimaginable．The incapability to understand the real story behind some of these phenomena draws many people．Blood Falls，AntarcticaHow is it that the coldest and driest place on the planet has a blood-red waterfall pouring down slowly into the McMurdo Dry Valleys，some of the most extreme desert lands on Earth？What causes the mysterious flow was only recently discovered in a study．Scientists believed for many years red algae（红藻）gave it the unusual color．But now research has shown that iron oxide（氧化物）is responsible for it．The waterfall even contains strange bacterial life forms．Magnetic Hill，Moneton，New BrunswickBe very careful if you choose to drive to the bottom of this hill．Stories about what happens there have been around since early 1900s．As impossible as it sounds，your car will start to roll uphill．"And it doesn't just work on cars-vans，trucks and even tour buses roll upward．" according to Tourism New Brunswick．Racetrack Playa，Death Valley，CaliforniaLocated in a remote valley between the Cottonwood and Last Chance Ranges，Racetrack Playa is a place of real beauty and mystery．The Racetrack is a dry lakebed，best known for its strange moving rocks．It looks like they "sailed" through the valley．Although no one has actually seen the rocks move，the long moving tracks left behind in the mud surface of the Playa prove their activity．The most logical explanation so far is that ice forms covering the stones，causing them to move．1.What's special about Racetrack Playa？______A. The lakebed there is red．B. The rocks there can move．C. There is no living creature．D. The rocks there can make sound．2.Which of the following is true？______A. It is red algae that gives Blood Falls the unusual color．B. These mysterious phenomena have been given exact explanations．C. People have witnessed the rocks moving．D. When you drive at the bottom of Magnetic Hill，your car will go up the hill．3.What's the purpose of the text？______A. To tell amazing stories．B. To advertise new places．C. To introduce distinguished placesD. To uncover mysterious phenomena．BMy brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau（衣橱）and picked out a wonderful skirt．"Jan bought this the first time we went to New York，at least eight or nine years ago．She never wore it．She was saving it for a special occasion．" Well，I guess this is the occasion．He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed．His hands touched the soft material for a moment，and then he shut the drawer and turned to me，"Don't ever save anything for a special occasion．Every day you're alive is a special occasion．"I'm still thinking about his words，and they've changed my attitude to life．I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time on committee meetings．Whenever possible，life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy，not suffer．I'm trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them．"Some day" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary．If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing，I want to see and hear and do it now．I'm not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow．I think she would have called family members and a few close friends．She might have calleda few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things．I think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner，her favorite food．If I knew that my hours were limited，those little things left undone would make me angry．Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with some day．Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them．I'm trying very hard not to put off，hold back，or save anything that would add laughter to our lives．And every morning when I open my eyes，I tell myself that every day，every minute，every breath truly，is…a gift worth cherishing．4.What kind of person do you think Jan is？______A. mean and conservativeB. active and confidentC. economical and introvertD. indifferent and distant5.Which of the following is not the writer's attitude to life？______A. Spending more time staying with the family．B. Enjoying life and valuing every day．C. Attending social activities as often as possible．D.

Give up her point of view．D. Keep her promise．7.What can be inferred from the passage？______A. People are advised to treasure every day and the meaning of life．B. People are encouraged to be hard on themselves for a bright life．C. People are told to get rid of being angry and sorry in life．D. People are persuaded to care for themselves more than others．CEven as we humans keep polluting the world．Nature somehow keeps finding a way to help correct our mistakes．First，there is a molecule（分子）that helps reduce global warming．Now，a team of Yale students may have discovered something equally amazing - plasticeating fungi（真菌）．Pestalotiopsis microspora（微孢子）is the only known fungus to be able to survive only on plastic．The plastic is so hard that it takes thousands of years to break down on its own．The best part is that these fungi can do the job even in an oxygenless environment，which means that it could work perfectly even at the bottom of a landfill．The discovery was the result of an effort between three Yale students who were part of the Rainforest Expedition and Laboratory Program，allowing a selected group of students to visit Ecuador's rainforest and seek out fungi and bacteria that live inside plants without harming them，which could hold medical or scientific promise．The samples are then brought back to the University's lab where they do wide testing to see if they are of any practical or scientific use．In 2008，a student named Pria Anand gathered specimens for one purpose - to find a microbe that could cat plastic．That's when she came across the Pestalotiopsis microspora．Though she did show the unbelievable characteristics of the fungi，she was unable to get the desired results by the time she graduated，in 2010．Luckily for he Jonathan Russell，a 2011graduating student，picked up right where she had left off．By combining her work with research performed by another of Pria's classmates，Jeffery Huang，he was able to separate the enzyme（酶）in the fungus that is the most effective in breaking down plastic．Hopefully，experts will take it up from here and make the project a reality and help reduce plastic!8.What is the main character of Pestaltiopsis microspora？______A. It helps reduce global warming．B. It needs less oxygen to produce．C. It can break down plastic．D. It can be buried in a landfill．9.The underlined sentence in the passage may mean ______ ．A. Jonathan continued to study what Pria failedB. Jonathan drove to pick up Pria when she got offC. Jonathan came across Pria at an unexpected placeD. Jonathan invited Pria to go on with her research10.What can we know from the passage？______A. There are some kind of fungi that can eat plasticB. These fungi can only work in an oxygen environmentC. The discovery was made by chance．D. A group of students made the discovery that fungi can break down plastic11.The best title for the passage may be ______ ．A. Fungi Love PlasticB. Plastic Is Eaten by FungiC. Fungi Are Eaten by PlasticD. Fungi Are Hidden in PlasticDIt's normal for teens to want to stay connected to friends and social circles，but in the middle of the night？The Journal of Youth Studies recently published new research indicating that one in five teens from 12 to 15 regularly wake during the night to have some form of social media．Not surprisingly，the research also indicated that these social night owls were three times more likely than their friends to feel tired at school and that girls were more likely than boys to be called to office．The blue light produced by cell phones，tablets and computers signals the brain to stayawake，so it's easy to see why a teen might be up all might．A 2016 study in Psychological Science noted the same brain circuits（脑回路）that are activated by eating chocolate and winning money are activated when teens see large numbers of "likes" on their posts or those of their peers．Besides not catching enough snaps，by interrupting their sleep cycle，teens may never fully engage in REM sleep（快速动眼睡眠），the deepest stage of sleep that may be responsible for brain development and learning．Considering about 72 percent of children from 6 to 17 sleep with some electronic media in their bedrooms，parents need to set boundaries sooner rather than later．"Providing access to devices and thus to social media is a privilege that children can earn and also lose，" Janie Feldman，a psychologist who treats sleep disorders，reminds parents that，"temporarily removing privileges can have important impact so long as the means of earning back the privileges is clear．Teens and parents should discuss and agree upon terms of use，timing，and access．Teenagers are most cooperative when they agree to the rules，so including them in defining rules makes for very effective parenting．12.What does the new research indicate about teens from 12to 15？______A. Some of them rely on social media for homework．B. Some of them share their sleep experience online．C. Some of them often use cell phones or tablets at midnight．D. Some of them surf online for ways to protect animals．13.How will teens' brain react when they see many "likes" on their posts？______A. It will become too active for the teens to go to sleep．B. It will inspire the teens to post something more online．C. It will promote the teens for some restful time．D. It will promote the teens to earn money with their posts．14.What advice does Janie Feldman give parents of teens？______A. Forbid their children from using social media at night．B. Get the children to cam the right to social media with housework．C. Never give the children access to social media if they break a rule．D. Give back children's media access when they correct their errors．15.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？______A. How to Win Back the Trust of Parents．B. Sleep Disorders and Social MediaC. REM Sleep and Brain Development．D. The Harm of Social Media on Teens．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）To begin your study time，one biggest challenge is to get all necessary materials．(1) ．But if you prepare everything at one time，your studying will be more effective．Kitchen can be noisy．(2) ．A bedroom may be full o distractions，such as favorite magazines，music，or television．If you can，find a corner of a guest room or study-or any room that is not a high traffic area．(3) ．Good lighting，a comfortable chair，a good writing surface，writing instruments，reference tools．If you find it easier to study with music playing in the background，pick soothing（使人宽慰的）music and keep it at a low volume．The phone is a definite no，as are video games，sports equipment，or anything else that can cause distractions．For most students，one to two hours daily is enough．But sometimes you may have to study longer．(4) ．For example，some students like to study before dinner，others are early risers and find they can concentrate best in the morning．Tell all your family members whenyou will be in studying and ask them not to disturb you unless it's absolutely necessary．It can be difficult to start a standard study schedule，but the effort can pay off in better grades．(5) After a month of continual good study habits，treat yourself to spending time with good friends or doing something you enjoy as self-encouragement．A．What will you absolutely need to help you study？B．You will make your achievements known to others．C．Being close to those tempting snacks won't help with your process．D．Set aside a period of time to concentrate on what you are learning．E．Pick a time when you think your concentration level is the bestF．Another is to find a place where you can concentrate．G．Your teachers will notice your improvement．16.

2020-2021学年湖北省孝感高中高三英语模拟试卷及答案
2020-2021学年湖北省孝感高中高三英语模拟试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMy Biggest ChallengeAs a writer on an adventure sports magazine, I’dalways fought shy of doing the adventurous stuff myself, preferring instead to observe the experts from a safe distance and relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language. Thus, when I was challenged to take part in a mountain climb in aid of raising money for charity-and to write about it afterwards-I was unwilling, to say the least.I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith, who put me through my paces after my daily work. He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition. It quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined. There was the equipment and techniques I’d never even heard of, all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak I’d be climbing.Aware of the challenge, Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced myself to stick to it, doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hikes with a heavy pack. I perfected my technique on the climbing wall and even went to climb the mountains to get vital experience. My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the climb.All too soon I was on a plane to my destination. On that day, when I looked up at the mountain, I thought of abandoning it. But then I remembered all the hard work I’d done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of failure I’d experience myself. With a deep breath I gathered my equipment and headed out into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.And as I sit here now, tapping away on my laptop, I’m amazed at the details in which I can recall every second of the climb: the burning muscles, the tiredness, the minor problems along the way. Could I have been better prepared? Possibly. Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not. The feeling of being excited when I stood on top of the world is a never-to-be-repeated experience but one I will enjoy forever nevertheless.1. At the beginning of the activity, the author revealed his ______.A. disappointment in the coming adventure.B. expectation of writing about his experience.C. lack of enthusiasm for the challenge he’d been offered.D. curiosity about taking part in the mountain climb for charity.2. What did the author realise during his climb training?A. The knowledge about climbing was really confusing.B. The equipment was the key factor to reach the peak.C. Climbing was much more complicated than expected.D. Hard training was far more important than making plans.3. How did the author feel after he succeeded in climbing the mountain?A. He was relieved that he wouldn’t have to do it again.B. He was well satisfied that he had done his best for it.C. He was surprised that he had managed to complete it.D.He was regretful that it wasn’t as smooth as imagined.BThe World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost, whichthe conservation group says has placed the health of the planet at risk.The WWF recently released its 10th Flagship Living Planet Report. The group warns the condition of the world's animals is worse than its earlier reports showed, indicating worldwide action is needed.The WWF is worried about the loss of and damage to Earth’s environment. The report provides information about more than 10,000 animal populations from 1970 to 2010. These populations are called “vertebrate species,” or animals with backbones — like fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The report shows these populations have dropped by 52 percent in just 40 years. It warns freshwater species have fallen by 76 percent, which is almost twice the loss of land and ocean species. Most of these losses are in the tropics, with the biggest drop inLatin America.Marco Lambertini, the WWF’s International Director-General said, “This is about losing natural habitats. This is aboutconvertingforests, grasslands, and wetlands into agriculture mainly, and it is about unsustainable use of wildlife. Illegal hunting has been actually increasing over the last 10 years, which definitely a driving force for extinction, particularly of large species.”The report also notes what it calls the world’s “Ecological Footprint”, that is, the effect of human activities on the planet. Mr. Lambertini says there has been an increase in carbon dioxide gases and the pouring of nitrogen into oceans and rivers from fertilizers used in agriculture, which certainly cannot continue.“We are consuming on average every year about the equivalent of about 1.5, one and a half times the resources available to the planet. That means we are cutting trees more quickly than they can be restored. We are fishing the oceans more quickly than fishing stocks can reproduce, and we are emitting in the atmosphere more CO2than the natural systems can actually absorb, which is clearly not sustainable.”Mr. Lambertini warns climate change affects almost everyone on the planet and that whole species may disappear if the world does not reduce the effects of humans on the climate.4. According to the passage, what kind of species faces the biggest drop in population?A. Land and ocean species.B. Animals with backbones.C. Freshwater species inLatin America.D. Freshwater species in the tropics.5. All the following can contribute to the loss of world’s wildlife population EXCEPT ________.A. turning wildlife habitats into agriculture land.B. making sustainable use of wildlife.C. hunting illegally.D. emitting CO2 gases and pouring nitrogen.6. Which does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Conserving.B. Conveying.C. Exchanging.D. Transforming.7. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. Marco is much concerned about human’s current behaviors towards wildlife.B. what the planet provides now can satisfy human’s sustainable development.C. more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost.D. if humans reduce the effects on the climate, the whole species will not disappear.CThe Great Barrier Reef's outlook remains “very poor” despite coral (珊瑚) recovery over the past year, Australian government scientistssaid Monday, just days before a UNESCO ruling on the site's world heritage (遗产) status.The United Nations cultural agency recommended last month that the world's largest reef (珊瑚礁) system be placed on its endangered list because of damage to the corals largely caused by climate change.The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) said the corals were now in a “recovery window” after a decade of harmful heat stress and cyclones (旋风). But such opportunities were becoming rarer due to the influence ofclimate change, the government agency, which has monitored the reef for 35 years, said in its annual report released today. “The increasing emergence of climate-related extreme weather events and starfish outbreaks is causing more severe and frequent pressures, giving the reef fewer opportunities like this to recover,”CEO Paul Hardisty said. The scientists surveyed 127 reef sites in 2021 and found hard coral cover had increased at 69 of the 81 locations surveyed in the past two years.Separate scientific research released last October found the 2, 300-kilometre (1, 400 miles) system had lost half its corals since 1995, with a series of ocean heatwaves causing mass coral death.Britta Schaffelke, research program director at AIMS, said the latest findings provided a slight hope that the reef still has the power of recovering. But she added that its future is still very poor because of the dangers of climate change and other factors that are affecting the reef.UNESCO has urged Australia to take urgent climate action but the government has long resisted calls to commit to net zero emissions (排放) by 2050. The government has said it hopes to meet the target “as soon as possible” without harming its economy, insisting dealing with climate change requires a global effort. The reef was worth about US $4. 8 billion a year in tourism for the Australian economy and there are fears that an “in danger” listing could weaken its tourist appeal.8. What is the major cause of the damage to the corals?A. The climate change.B. Lack of money.C. Over development.D. Too many tourists.9. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The result of the survey.B. The efforts AIMS has made.C. The slight chance of the recovery.D. The terrible situation of the climate.10. What is Britta Schaffelke's attitude towards the future of the reef?A. Unclear.B. Positive.C Intolerant. D. Anxious.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Australia wants to put the reef on the endangered list.B. The Australian government has ignored UNESCO's demand.C. Australia hopes to keep a balance between emission target and its economy.D. The Australian government refuses to take its share of responsibility of climate change.DSome of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every evening when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was bought when he married Mum. Every evening, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was more than happy to do it. This seems amundanetask, but it brought me such joy at that time. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad started his own business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and he didn’t come home as much as he used to. Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home.Today, I’ve graduated from college and Dad’s business are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me continued. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early and said to me, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. I brushed the comb, and it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy.I passed the clean comb back to Dad. This time, I noticed my day has aged. But his smile is still as heartwarming as before. Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. After so many years, I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.12. As a child, the author helped her dad clean his comb happily because ________.A. she was good at cleaning the combB. she thought that she should do that as a good girlC. her dad was home early to spend the evening with herD. the comb was important for her father and her mother13. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined wordmundanein paragraph two?A. importantB. excitingC. unnecessaryD. uninteresting14. When the author said, “It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it.”, she felt ________.A. disappointedB. impatientC. tiredD. sorry15. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Evenings With Dad.B. How to Clean the Comb.C. My Memory with My Dad.D. I Love My Family Members.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Photographs, videos and stories of the herd’s movement have sparked widespread discussions even overseas.However, there is a need to go behind the “cute photos” and the seemingly “fantastic” event and identify the reasons why wild elephants are leaving their habitat, and find ways to establish harmonious human-animal relationship within habitats and the surrounding forests and human settlements. It is important to scientifically mark the limits of the habitats for elephants and other animals in Xishuangbanna and elsewhere in the country for ecological reasons as well.Planting trees is a key and fundamental step toward restoration of nature. Yet long-term investment and a more scientific approach are needed to maintain the remaining forests as well as to extend the forest cover and strengthen conservation.Nevertheless, tree cover alone doesn’t mean a suitable habitat for all animals, for different species need different types of vegetation to survive and breed. The elephant herd in Yunnan is a reminder that we have to scientifically conserve the existing forests and turn them into suitable habitats for different species of animals and birds, which will ultimately benefit humans.More ambitious targets should be set to rebuild or improve the food chain, and measures taken to ensure forest resources help wildlife flourish, in order to establish a harmonious human-animal relationship.Forests around the globe are still shrinking, particularly those in tropical and developing countries. The next decade therefore will be extremely important for the world’s forests and wildlife, and China can play a leading role in saving them by better protecting its forests and expanding its forest cover.4. Why has the herd of elephants caused so much public interest?A. There exist heated discussions in the whole country even overseas.B. TV programs and social media platforms want to benefit from them.C. They are the first wild Asian Elephants to leave their natural habitat.D. The elephants has traveled a long distance and lived in harmony with humans.5. What can we infer from the third paragraph about the “fantastic” event?A. More research on the reasons behind the event is required.B. Scientists need to limit the habitats for elephants and other animals.C. People should find ways to have a good relationship with elephants.D. There’s an urgent demand for detailed information about the elephants.6. Which method is provided in the passage to restore nature?A. Expanding the coverage of forest.B. Getting the government’s policy support.C. Bringing up various ways to protect the forests.D. Offering more kinds of vegetation to all animals.7. What does this event of elephants leaving their habitats remind us to do?A. To set more goals to change the food chain.B.

To reduce the destruction of the forests around the globe.CAs I work in theLarkwhistle Garden in Dyer's Bay, Ontario, I take my time and the garden is teaching me about working with the earth. I recognize that there will be both successes and failures and there are many variables(变量)that affect them both.The quality of the seeds planted has a bearing on how the plants will grow. The weather can be too hot, toocold, or exactly right, and usually varies between all three. Weeds seem to grow in the garden and need to be taken care of, pulled, and removed to ensure they do not eat into the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we have so lovingly planted.I take time to stand back and rest, and to observe the plants and how they are growing. Each plant is unique and develops in the way that is best for them. Some have large broad leaves to shadow their fruit from the severe rays of the sun, while other plants are more open, their fruit needing the light to grow and ripen.Getting my hands dirty, feeling the sweat on my forehead, and the strength and flexibility of my body as I dig, bend and work under the warm summer sun, reminds me I am alive in ways I would not have remembered sitting on the couch.It is attractive to move things around, to transplant, and to disturb the natural order of how plants grow. The garden teaches me that it is important to know when to disturb things and when to let them be. The garden's life cycle follows a pattern that is repeated according to laws of nature, birth, growth, and then dies and it teaches us to accept this fact.8. How many variables may affect the growth of plants in the garden?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.9. What can we learn about the author?A. He feels exhausted while gardening.B. He enjoys life from working practice.C. He takes pleasure in harvesting fruits.D. He dreams away his time in the garden.10. How is the garden tended by the author?A. Its rank grass is got rid of.B. Its plants are left to grow freely.C. Its temperature is controlled properly.D. Its plants with large broad leaves are cut off.11. What fact does the author learn from gardening?A. Life takes its course.B. Hard work benefits health.C. Time is short and precious.D. Gardening brings good harvest.DWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise (乐园) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal (地热的) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper (野营车). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance tobe always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times ofhotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.12. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.D. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.13. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was not only practical but also economical.B. It was convenient but cost them more money.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.14. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.B. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.15. What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A travel magazineD. A news report第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

AFour Wild Animal Species Were EndangeredMaybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild. TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThat’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown , but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years,primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.21. What is the total population of tigers living in the wild?A. Around 3890.B. 50000.C. 124000.D. 413000.22. Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals?A. Tigers.B. Giraffes.C. Ground squirrels.D. Asian elephants.23. What is the common threat to the four wild animals?A. Illegal hunting.B. Disturbed habitat.C. Developing tourism.D. Unnecessary construction.24. Which word can best describe the present situation for protecting wild animals?A. Satisfactory.B. Optimistic.C. Urgent.D. Stable.BToddler World Nursery was delighted to employ a trainee---twenty-two-old Jonathan Brown—as their first male nursery schoolteacher. He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant. “Both boys and girls will benefit from the experience of having a male role model in the nursery.” Says mother of two, Margery.Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminder and his father is a teacher. “I’ve always helped Mum with looking after all the children.” he says. “I’m used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn’t changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the National Nursery Trust said, “Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion(怀疑)in a children’s environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women would do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recoginsed.”Jonathan agrees. He is a qualified under-7s football coach, and plants to introduce football lessons to the nursery for boys and girls.What do Jonathan’s friends think of his choice of career?“Actually, most of them are pretty cool about it now.” he says, “though they do make jokes about nappies. And I’ve found that girls are actually quite impressed – so that’s good!”25. Why was Jonathan employed by Toddler World Nursery?A. He was the best among all the applicants.B. He was the only man who applied for the job.C. He would be able to teach kids to play football.D. He would do things the way women would do them.26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “childminder” (Para.2)?A. Instructor.B. Superior.C. Baby-sitter.D. Coach.27. What did Roger Olsen say about the job of childcare?A. It has been women-specific.B. It requires people’s understanding.C. It takes time to make some changes.D. It needs men teachers to bring something different.CFinding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you’re covered in fur and don’t speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café, in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.Railway Caféowner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative plan as a way to help welcomepeople to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn’t like that. I did get lonely. “I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.“Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazing people with similar interests.”SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to , where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town.” There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”28. How will Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café help new pets?A. By offering morning teas.B. By giving advice to them.C. By communication with them.D. By providing accommodation to them.29. What was Leanne’s plan originally intended for?A. Saving animals.B. Helping newcomers.C. Making more friends.D. Expanding her business.30. What had Leanne expected when she first came to Marlborough?A. To be left alone.B. To struggle for a living.C. To be invited to dinner.D. To feel part of the community.31. What can be learnt about SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall?A. She often misses the United Kingdom.B. She takes interest in the Railway Café.C. She is enthusiastic about resettling pets.D. She has organized the voluntary events.DIn 1917 Orville Wright predicted that "the aeroplane will help peace in many ways –in particular I think it will have a tendency to make war impossible.” Earlier in 1904, American journalist John Walker declared, “As a peace machine, the value of the aeroplane to the world will be beyond computation.” This wasn’t the first grand promise of technology. In that same year Jules Verne announced, “The submarine(潜艇)may be the cause of bringing battle to a stoppage.”Alfred Nobel, sincerely believe his dynamite(火药) would be a war obstacle: “My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions(公约).” Similarly, when Hiran Maxim, inventorof the machine gun, was asked in 1893, “Will this gun not make war more terrible?” he answered, “No, it will make war impossible.”Gugliemo Mareconi, inventor of the radio, told the world in 1912. “The coming of the wireless time will make war impossible, because it will make war ridiculous.”General James Harbord, chairman of the board of RCA in 1925, believed, “Radio will serve to make the concept of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men a reality.”David Nye, a historian of technology, adds to the list of inventions imagined as abolishing war forever and leading to universal peace the hot-air balloon, poison gas, land mines and laser guns.It is not that all these inventions are without benefits—even benefits toward democracy. Rather, it’s the case that each new technology creates more problems than it solves. “Problems are the answers to solutions,” says Brian Arthur.Most of the new problems in the world are problems created by previous technology. These problems are nearly invisible to us. Every year 1.2 million people die in automobile accidents. The technological transportation system kills more people than cancer. Global warming, environmental poisons, nuclear terrorism, and species loss, are only a few of the many other serious problems troubling people.If we embrace(拥抱) technology we need to face its costs.32. What will new inventions do according to the first two paragraphs?A. They will increase wars.B. They will lead to peace.C. They will serve people.D. They will break conventions.33. What does the author list so many inventions?A. To show people’s creativity.B. To appreciate their benefits.C. To contradict the original ideas.D. To prove grand promises.35. What does the author hope to tell us about new technology through the text?A. It will experience many tests.B. It will bring about huge costs in the world.C. It provides answers to many problems.D. It presents more problems than it solves.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。
