AOne day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing. In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometers from their camp, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was the white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house?That would be a trip of thirty- five kilometers in such cold weather!It was getting late. They rode on and on. At last the horses stopped. Where were they?None of them could tell. Bob looked around. What was that under the tree? It was one of their tents!1.Bob and his friends wanted the horses to take them to_____.A. Bob’s homeB. the campC. the forestD. the mountains2.

The story happened _________.A. on a cold winter dayB. on a dark snowy eveningC. in a cold house far from villagesD. at night when nothing could be seenBCats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep. Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional（偶尔的）cat naps（打盹）. Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods（情绪）as humans, some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. These famous men were known for their energy. They were also able to work long hours, often into the night. Napping was their secret.5. From this passage we know that cats____.A. do not have regular sleepB. only take naps every dayC. take naps to add to their regular sleepD. take naps when they are not happy6.

Naps usually last ____.A. three hoursB. less than half an hourC. forty-five minutesD. fifty-five minutes8. This passage was probably written to ____.A. show how lazy cats areB. talk about the habits of catsC. tell about famous people and their habitsD. persuade people to take napsCBlogs (博客) are the place where young people go to reveal（透露）their souls, to vent(发泄), and even to gossip.Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. Some students in America got suspensions (停学) because on their blogs they posted（发表，发帖）threatening words to their teachers.Recent surveys found that nearly a fifth of teens who have the chance to go online have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online journals.With the development of the Internet, more and more people will have their own blogs.In another survey, 79% of teens agreed that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also affect blog viewers. When you are angry or frustrated, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational and you may regret later. To reduce the negative（负面的）effect, you’d better make such posts “private” so that only you can read them.As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.9. Blogs are the place where people _________.A. go online to have a chatB. go online to download informationC. go online to make friendsD. go online to express themselves freely10. The fact that some American students got suspensions is used to show that ________.A. people should be careful with what they write in their blogsB. people should not have blogsC. American students always threaten teachersD. anyone can express himself freely in their blogs11. The underlined word “rational” in the fifth paragraph probably means _________.A. strangeB. wrongC. fashionableD. reasonable12. The passage is mainly about _________.A. the number of people who have blogsB. the use people make of blogsC. advantages and disadvantages of blogsD. the author’s suggestions about stopping bloggingDMacao is only forty miles from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. You can get there by sea. It is an interesting place and it had a long history. Macao is part of China and most people living there are Chinese.The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts to guard（保卫）the city and the harbor. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to gamble with their money. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. when you are hungry, thereare good restaurants with many kinds of food. Nearby there are some islands, which are also nice and are easy to get to. There is certainly a lot to do in Macao.13.

2021年三门峡市第二中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及参考答案
2021年三门峡市第二中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BA world in which extinct creatures could be brought back to life came a step closer yesterday. Australian scientists have managed to extract a gene from a preserved sample of a Tasmanian tiger and make it active. Thebreakthroughhas left them dreaming that one day they will be able to recreate the animal, which died out more than 70 years ago. And if it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger, it may also be possible to resurrect (复活) creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever, but no more, ” said Professor Mike Archer. “We are now able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone for ever. What has been achieved is a very important step in bringing back those animals that are extinct. And while I think that technically it is still pretty difficult at the moment, we can now see the possibilities. I’m personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back to life in my lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne, who extracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum. They removed the equivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as the mouse continued to grow normally, suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr. Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to “induce (引起) a functional response in another living organism”.However, the animal’s entire gene structure would have to be revived in the same way to even begin the possibility of bringing the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead.Mick Mooney, a wildlife officer ofthe Tasmanian Government, was worried that such developments could encourage people’s indifference to the protection of endangered species.“If people think that we can bring animals back to life after they’ve gone, they will start saying that there is nothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”4. What does the underlined word “breakthrough” in the l paragraph refer to?A. Scientists have recreated new animals.B. Scientists have resurrected endangered animal.C. It has turned out that some creatures would not go extinct.D. A tiger gene has been extracted successfully and activated.5. Scientists are carrying out the experiments in order to ________.A. bring extinct animals back to lifeB. transplant the genes of tigers into other animalsC. find out what factors lead to the animals’ extinctionD. find a new way to extract animals’ DNA6. Mike Archer thinks that ________.A. scientists now have no technological difficulty reconnecting extinct animalsB. it’ll be a century or so before a Tasmanian tiger walks on the earth againC. humans have come closer in reconnecting extinct animalsD. reconnecting extinct animals is impossible7. We can learn from Mick Mooncy’s words that_________.A. he thought it unnecessary to worry about endangered animalsB. his opinion is in contrast with that of the Tasmanian GovernmentC. he thought people should be encouraged to protect endangered animalsD. he is concerned that bringing extinct animals back to life may have a negative effectCDolores Huerta has worked hard most of her life to help other people. She has helped change things so that others can have a better life.Dolores grew up in California. She was a good student and liked school. After she finished high school, she went to college and studied to be a teacher. After college, she became a teacher. Dolores noticed that many of her students were not getting enough food to eat. Some of them wore very old clothes. Dolores wondered how she could help them.Dolores liked teaching but she decided to quit her job so that she could spend more time helping her students and their families. One thing she wanted to do was to get more pay for their parents, farm workers. Thus they could buy their children what they needed.Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables, like grapes and tomatoes. She began talking and writing about these workers. Even people who lived far from California read what Dolores wrote. Getting higher pay for the farm workers was not easy. Dolores worked hard to make sure that farm workers got fair pay for their work. She knew that nothing would change unless new laws were made to help the workers. Through all her hard work, new laws were passed that gave farm workers fair pay.Dolores Huerta has worked for more than 30 years in many different ways to make life better for working people.

That's where they met Hasina Islam, who Jean says arose her interest in reading and the library.“You see what you started? You see that spark that you put in this child?” Jean told Hasina Islam at aStoryCorpsconversation in 2016. At the time, Abigail was 7 and Islam was 27. Their friendship began when Abigail was 3.

AHaving experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became complete ly dark and quiet for almost ten years.

His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw：a tree and a muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James losthis sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.21.

James Franco and His WifeBLily, a student of Cambridge University, has bought a bicycle and is worried about safety.

Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and carry them with you, for example lights and saddles （车座）.LocksThere are various types of locks. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop owner.MarkingSecurity marking your bike can act as an obstruction to thieves, which can also help the police find your bicycle. Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.RegistrationThere are many companies that will security mark your bicycle. They will then store your registration number and personal details in their computer database. If your bicycle is found, it will be easy to contact you.AttentionKeep a record of the bicycle by yourself：its production, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.25. Which part of the article gives the information on how to lock your bicycle when youleave？A. RegistrationB. LocksC. MarkingD. Basic Security26.

The tea gardens in Hatton, Sri Lanka are actually large tea estates. The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one meter apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimeters high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilograms of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.Processing tea shoots into our familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its color and taste. Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment（发酵）under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea. The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower until they become rolled-up black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.29. The underlined word “pruning” means “”.A. reasonable use of chemicalsB. regular cutting of the plantsC. frequent wateringD. loosening the soil30. How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph？A. SixB. FiveC. FourD. Three31. What does the author imply in the passage？A. Fermentation is a must to enrich the flavour of black tea.B. Women pickers are welcomed because they can easily find the twin leaves.C. T ea production has long been prosperous in Sri Lanka.D. T ea pickings can be done biweekly.DSome inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago.Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Company. The idea for the product came from an awful experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive （粘合剂） that a colleague, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was strong enough to hold papers together, but not strong enough to tear the paper when it was removed.A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they asked the company to give away thousands of the “sticky pieces of paper” for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered howuseful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.32. How did Dr. Spence help Art Fry？A. His adhesive made Art’s invention possible.B. He offered the new adhesive to Art.C. He created the Post-it Notes.D. He often worked and discussed science with Art.33. Which of the following is a possible use of Post-it Notes？A. A postcard from abroad.B. An ad in a newspaper.C. A note on a friend’s door.D. An e-mail to a friend.34. Which of the following shows the proper order of the events？a. The company gave away many “sticky pieces of paper” for people to try.b. Dr. Spence created a new adhesive.c. Many orders were received and the Post-it Notes became successful.d. Fry invented Post-it Notes.e. His colleagues began to use the new types of notes themselves.A. d b a e cB. b a e d cC. b d e a cD. d e a b c35. In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage？A. EconomyB. RecreationC. CultureD. Science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。

Now, a teenager with the same __36__ might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客）. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 37 . So, what makes blogging different from 38__ in a traditional diary？The biggest difference is that blogging is much more__39__ than a diary. Usually,a teenager treats her diary like a book full of __40__ that she does not want anyone to 41 .It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to 43 her blog. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. When I was her 44 I wrote about the same things, but 45 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 46 others would read it!The biggest problem with blogging is that 47 can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 48 about her in my diary, she would never know. 49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 50 read her blog and get angry.There are also 51 to blogging, of course.

2020┄2021学年上期高三第一次月考英语试卷时间：120分钟满分：150分命题人：高三英语命题组第I卷（选择题共70分）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分；满分30分）AComic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-color comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters i n your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.21. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character22. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character？A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.23. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. braveBA Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9. Its creators hope the plane will make the first around—the—world journey without any fuel. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The planeweighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The plane’s wings stretch 72 meters across. Those wings include 17,000 solar units or cells that catch the sun’s energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night.Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first none—stop flight around the world in a balloon, while Borschberg is an engineer and has trained fighter pilots.The scientists say they are not trying to change the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can a chieve what some say is impossible. “We want to show that we can fly day and night in an aircraft without a drop of fuel,” Mr. Piccard said. Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row. So it is good that the pilot’s seat is also a toilet.The plane’s route begins in the United Arab Emirates. The pilots also plan stops in Oman, India, and China（the first stop in Chongqing, and then in Nanjing）. They will cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa. They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the plane’s location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots.24. How long will the flight last？A. About three months.B. About four months.C. About five months.D. About half a year.25. The plane’s wings are made so wide in order to ________.A. fly more smoothlyB. get enough energyC. look more beautifulD. make sure of its safety26. The scientists have made Solar Impulse 2 to _______.A. cut the cost of making a planeB. go on a tour around the worldC. show their ability in science and technologyD. prove it’s possible to fly with solar energy only27. What is the best title for the text？A. A long flight without fuelB. The first solar—powered planeC. Solar—powered plane starts its world tourD. A plane with the longest wings in the worldCThe age at which kids first fall victim to bullying （欺侮）could influence how strongly they are affected，suggests a new study. And，surprisingly，it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects，but particularly when it begins in adolescence，the researchers say. People subjected to either verbal （口头的）or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression，anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over it，but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive or are more likely to turn to drink as a means of coping. These are the conclusions ofpsychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin，US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1，500 college students regarding their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence—before high school—and in late adolescence—at high school. They assessed mood and mental state，judging by signs of anxiety or depression，such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain embarrassing situations，such as humiliation.People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation （挑畔），people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence，with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations.The best solution in all cases was strong social support，whether from friends，family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on，suggests Newman. “They may get stressed，but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on. ”28. What determines the degree of bullying's effect on people according to the study？A. The reason why they are bullied.B. The place where they are first bullied.C. The age at which they are first bullied.D. The person who first bullies them.29. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newman andhis colleagues？A. Some are likely to be more aggressive.B. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.30. What does the underlined word “humiliation” in Paragraph 4 mean？A. Carrying out an important plan.B. Being made to feel ashamed.C. Trying hard to survive an accident.D. Feeling hopeless in an emergency.31. The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescence arereflected in .A. the support they get from the societyB. the effect bullying has on themC. the way they react to bullyingD. the type of bullying they receiveDPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s pos sible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University （CMU） in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a majorplayer in disease ri sk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings w ere interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more （per sonality or emotions）. The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy （堵塞）noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. For now, it cannot hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.32. What is the text mainly about？A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.33. The phrase “full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probably means___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits34.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should be those __________？A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimisticC. Who are open-minded and outgoingD. Who have trouble with their noses35.The last paragraph implies that __________.A. positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B. people who have been less negative tend to catch colds.C. Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D. positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.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。

2021年河南陕州中学高三上学期阶段性考试前模拟训练英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many free things to do here. The following ideas should get you started.All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. And I love the Geffrye Museum which shows English domestic interiors and helps bring to life what it was really like to live in London.I regularly hear people tell me the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and Kensington Gardens nearby includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Playground and the Peter Pan Statue.No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates. Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s. This iconic square has many sights to see including Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. It is both a tourist attraction and the main focus for political demonstrations. Every December, Norway donates a marvelous Christmas tree, to thank Britain for liberation from the Nazis.1． Where can visitors find the Peter Pan Statue?A．in Regent's Park. B．in St. James's Park.C．in Hyde Park. D．in Kensington Gardens.2． Which of the following descriptions is True?A．In the Geffrye Museum visitors can learn the history of London from Romantimes to today.B．The Queen Mary's Rose Gardens is in Buckingham Palace.C．There is the Queen's Guard change inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 am every day all year around.D．Trafalgar Square is both a tourist attraction and a place for political demonstrations.3． The writer wrote the passage to ________.A．compare some free places in London.B．advertise some free places in London.C．recommend some free places in London.D．expose some free places in London.二、阅读选择BEIJING - A research team led by Chinese scientists have discovered dietary modulation of gut microbiota（膳食干预肠道菌群）can alleviate both genetic and simple obesity in children. The findings of the team, led by Zhao Liping with Shanghai Jiaotong University, Yin Aihua with the Guangdong province children's hospital, and Tang Huiru with Chinese Academy of Sciences, have been published on EBioMedicine, a renowned medical journal co-sponsored by Cell and The Lancet in July.The team identified bacterial genomes specifically for producing obesity-related metabolites （代谢物）, and said an improved gut microbiota can significantly help to treat genetic obesity such as Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS).Beginning in childhood, PWS affected kids develop an insatiable appetite, leading to chronic overeating and obesity.The scientists used a diet therapy with beneficial gut bacteria on trial patients and found considerablediminishedappetite, weight loss and improved health conditions on the patients. The paper concluded dysbiosis （失调）of gut microbiota is highly related with both genetic and simple obesity in children, implicating dietary modulation of gut microbiota a potentially effective treatment method.4．Which of the following factors contributes to child obesity?A．dietary modulation of gut microbiotaB．beneficial gut bacteriaC．an improved gut microbiotaD．dysbiosis of gut microbiota5．Which can replace the underlined word “diminished”？A．unsatisfied B．increasedC．decreased D．good6．Where is the passage extracted?A．Medicine book B．Science bookC．Doctor’s instructions D．News report7．Which might be the best title for the passage?A．Chinese scientists discover treatment to child obesity.B．The reasons for genetic obesity in children has been found.C．Obesity-related research has been done by Chinese scientists.D．An effective treatment to obesity has been found.Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit(优点) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to playin the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground. 8．The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because . A．they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB．they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC．they considered bathing as cause of skin diseaseD．They believed disease could be spread in public baths9．Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A．Curious B．Afraid C．Approving D．Uninterested 10．How does the passage mainly develop?A．By following the order of time. B．By making comparison.C．By providing examples D．By following the order of importance. 11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passages?A．To call attention to the danger of dirt.B．To introduce the history of dirt.C．To present the change of views on dirt.D．To stress the role of dirt.Welcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern(样式).You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientistAndrew Zolli ,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?12．We can learn from the text that in the future__________.A．people will never get oldB．everyone will look the sameC．red will be the most popular colorD．clothes will be able to change their pattern13．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.B．More drinks will be given for sale.C．Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.D．Milk will be harmful to health.14．Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A．Cars will be able to drive automatically(自动地).B．Fridges will know what people need.C．Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.D．Nothing can replace the Internet.15．What is the text mainly about?A．Food and clothing in 2035B．The reason for the success of new technology.C．Medical treatments of the future.D．Future technology in everyday life.三、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Why on earth did the writer make this text？A. To help fatties to lose some weight.B. To bring us some healthy eating habits.C. To make some money by advertising apps.D. To introduce some useful apps to food lovers.BMost academics would view a post at an elite university like Oxford or Harvard as the crowning achievement of a career—bringing both honour and access to better wine cellars. But scholars desire such places for reasons beyond glory. They believe perching on one of the topmost branches of the academic tree will also improve the quality of their work, by bringing them together with other geniuses with whom they can collaborate and who may help spark new ideas. This sounds reasonable. Unfortunately，as Albert Laszlo Barabasi of Northeastern University，in Boston （and also, it must be said, of Harvard）, shows in a study published in Scientific Reports, it is not true.Dr Barabasi and his team examined the careers of physicists who began publishing between 1950 and 1980 and continued to do so for at least 20 years. They ranked the impact of the institutions these people attended by counting the number of citations each institution’s papers received within five years of publication. By tracking the association of individual physicists and counting their citations in a similar way, Dr Barabasi was able to work out whether moving from a low to a high-ranking university improved a physicist’s impact. In total, he and his team analysed 2,725 careers.They found that, though an average physicist moved once or twice during his career, moving from a low-rank university to an elite one did not increase his scientific impact. Going in the opposite direction, however, did have a small negative influence. The consequence is that elite university do not，at least as far as physicists are concerned，add value to output. That surprising conclusion is one which the authorities in countries such as Britain, who are seeking to concentrate expensive subjects such as physics in fewer, more elite institutions—partly to save money, but also to create what are seen as centers of excellence—might wish to consider.5. What is the fundamental reason why scholars want to get a post at an elite university？A. Their academic career can benefit from it.B. It is an access to better wine cellars.C. Reasons beside glory.D. They can win honour.6. On what basis did Dr Barabasi’s research team draw conclusions that getting a post at a higher-rank university won’t help scholastic i mpact？A. His team examined the 20-year careers of physicists.B. He came from Havard, a top-ranking university himself and knew it well.C. Individual physicists’ citations by other authors increased within 5 years.D. They ranked the physicists’ institutions according to citations to these universities’ paper.7. Which of the following is true of Dr Barabasi’s research？A. It proved that a post at an elite university helps academics.B. It began in 1950 and ended in 1980.C. It calculated the citations of the physicists’ institutions.D. It is based on a lot more than 2,000 scholars of various fields.CWorld leaders from nearly 200 countries have signed an important historic agreement to fight global climate change. The agreement came after two weeks of talks between the leaders at the 21st Conference in Paris, France.As part of the Paris agreement，countries said they would cut down on pollution However，according to the terms of the deal，countries that don’t do this will not be punished，or fined. Instead，the document is meant to show that governments around the world take climate change seriously and are willing to work together to fight global warming.World leaders have met many times to discuss climate change. But，the 21st Conference of Parties, or COP21, which began on November 30 in Paris，was the first time they agreed on a global, legal pact （协定）.Before the conference, each nation was asked to create plans on how to reach the shared goal. The pact that was signed allows countries to decide the best way to cut down their gas pollution. No matter how they decide to go green, each country must report honestly on all of their efforts. Every five years, nations must look at the work they’ve done and submit new plans on how they will improve over the next five years.In the pact, the countries pledge to limit the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity to the levels that trees，soil and oceans can absorb naturally. It urges countries to spend trillions of dollars on creating new energy sources, like solar and wind power. It also requires countries to raise at least $ 100 billion each year to help developing countries.However, critics of the pact say it is not detailed enough, and doesn’t include specifics about how the plan will be enforced and how improvements will be measured. The pact does include one large, specific goal：how countries will aim to keep global temperatures from rising more than 3. 60℉（20℃） by 2100.Nonetheless，the agreement is considered by many world leaders to be a major victory. The U. N. has been working more than two decades to convince governments to work together to reduce man-made emissions.“History will remember this day,” U. N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said. “The Paris agreement on climate change is a monumental s uccess for the planet and its people.”8. When was the legal pact probably passed？A. On November 30.B. On December 4.C. On December 8.D. On December 12.9. According to the agreement, countries_________ .A. have to give a yearly report about their workB. will be published if they fail to reduce pollutionC. are required to ensure investment in fighting pollutionD. should try to reach the agreed standard in five years10. What is each country required to do before the Paris conference？A. Provide a work plan.B. Give an oral explanation .C. Provide a large amount of money.D. Give a written assessment.11. The pact is thought to be imperfect because_______.A. it doesn’t consider developing countriesB. it is not detailed enoughC. it is not attractive to all countriesD. it only benefits some countriesDMany people don't realize the importance of music education in the schools today. A new study showed, however, music education is extremely important.In college, music education is one of the largest programs. Teachers have to learn general education materials and techniques. They must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methods; they must learn conducting and so much more. At the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music.Music plays a very important role in our education.Music helps with math and science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series", which is about how music is produced by vibration（颤动）and why.Students learn a lot about languages through music．Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music; soStudents learn a huge amount of cooperation （协作）of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use motor（肌肉运动的）skills inorder to play an instrument. Singers and wind（管乐器）players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns. Students have to be aware of what every other musician does at every time. In that way, it develops cooperation, as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning.As one can see, music is very important to education.12. What can we infer about learning music in college？A. It is an easy task without much effort.B. It attracts more and more people to learn.C. It is such a challenging job to finishD. It has no value to our future life.13. Music benefits us a lot in many ways except for_______.A. making us a scientist later.B. improving language abilityC. bettering cooperation of body parts.D. making us think more about how to learn well14. The underlined word “that” in Para. 5 refers to “_________”A. the musicB. the workC. the cultureD. the language15. What can we know from the passage？A. A good achievement of science is vital to music learning.B. Learning music to a higher level on one’s own is impossibleC. People have long known the importance of music to our growth.D. Music has benefits to the all—around development of human beings.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。

To avoid doing a dutyB. To choose to doC. To decide not to be part of a groupD. To decide onBOne day I was driving home with a woman. She rolled down the window, fifty feet away from the driveway and spit her gum （口香糖）out of the window. “Couldn’t you just wait five seconds and put your gum where it belongs?” I asked, annoyed.She was not the only one who was gum-lazy. Consider the following. Every time I brush chewed gum under my desk, I shake with fright. At Folsom Middle School, whenever I had to walk by the gum wall next to the girls’ locker room, I felt totally disgusted. When I was young, I walked outside during my dance show in my ballet shoes, always stepping right on a big and juicy piece of bubble gum. I was extremely upset.The worst part of all these incidents is that a trash can is located near. But some people are too lazy to walk towards it.If you can’t be a responsible gum chewer, don’t chew at all. That’s all I’m going to say. Take Singapore as a good example. The chewing gum ban in Singapore was placed. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore, whether for the purpose of trade or personal chewing. However, the ban has been partly lifted with some types of gum, such as medical gum, allowable. This comes with the warning that it is sold only by a druggist, who has to take down the names of buyers. Obviously, the Singapore government gets angry at gum stuck in keyholes of mailboxes and on elevator buttons. Not only is it annoying, but chewing gum can actually do harm to the health. Most gum contains aspartame （阿斯巴甜）, a chemical sweetener（增甜剂）that the US government is now deciding whether or not it is a deadly chemical. If it is, it may cause cancer. Other studies suggest that aspartame may cause neurological（神经系统的）disorders. Therefore, aspartame is not allowed to use in the US.So just say no to chewing gum.24. What did the author think of the woman’s behavior?A. It was strange.B. It was unacceptable.C. It was dangerous.D. It was violent.25 According to Paragraph 2, the author _________.A. stepped on a piece of gum while dancingB. cleaned gum under her desk sometimesC. was troubled by chewed gumD. often found chewed gum in her locker26. What do we know about aspartame?A. It is proved to be a harmless chemical.B. It is the cause of many kinds of cancer..C. It is being refused by the US government.D. It is the main ingredient of chewing gum.27. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To advise people against chewing gum.B. To criticize people who are lazy.C. To persuade people to buy medical gum.D. To make comments on the ban in Singapore.CMarch 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.According to a poll (民意调查）by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more.But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your per formance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jenn ifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition a nd exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.28. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____.A. To wake up the sleepersB. To draw people’s attentionC. To serve as a morning callD. To declare the special day29.From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______A. Being healthier is one of the advantages for usB. Sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expecta tionsC. Spending more time on sleeping is a waste of timeD. Enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things30.What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______.A. Sleeping is an image problemB. People care little about sleepingC. Lazy people tend to sleep longD. Sleeping is only part of our life31.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To talk about people’s sleeping problems.B. To provide an investigation result of sleeping.C. To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.D. To stress the function of sleeping at night.DThe chimp didn’t feel well. She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps.Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!Biologists watching the chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?Many scientists don’t think it has anything to do with luck. They’re discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we don’t know about forest plants.Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “You must know a lot about an animal’s feeding habits to know what it doesn’t consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves.When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought something interesting was going on---especially when he saw that they’d sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves.“They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that chimps usually chew their food we ll. “They seemed to rub（摩擦）the leaves a round the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly. ”Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses（病毒）. Later tests showed that the oil might even fight cancer and the AIDS virus!Why don’t the chimps chew the leaves? “Rubbing the leaves between the tongue and the inside of the mouth might allow the chemicals to enter the b loodstream directly,” he suggests, “instead of going to the stomach, where they might get destroyed by acids. The chimps seem to know what they’re doing.”32. We can learn from the passage that _________.A. chimps cure themselves by chewing plantsB. chemicals in plants help cure animalsC. scientists live with chimps to study their dietsD. Dr. Wrangham knows a lot about forest plants33. How can Dr. Wrangham tell which plants are medicine for chimps?A. By talking with the biol ogists.B.. By studying the chimps’ feeding habits.C. By analyzing the chimps’ favorite food.D. By comparing other scientists’ discoveries.34. The author wrote the passage to ___________.A. provide a solutionB. test a theoryC. present a findingD. describe an experiment35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Animal doctors.B. Forest plants.C. Chimp’s diets.D. A cure for cancer.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors----silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks（人行道）. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and startedhome.My first ride home was orderly （守秩序的）. To be safe, I stayed with a “pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.21. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today？A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.22. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______________.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local skillsD. to improve his riding skills23. How did the author feel about his street crossing？A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.24. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience？A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.BGoing green seems to be fad（时尚）for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My life and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic（有机的）stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power tochange things and help our planet.25. What might be the best title for the passage？A. Going Green.B. Protecting the Planet.C. Keeping Open-MindedD. Celebrating Our Green Year.26. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.A. they were expected to follow the green fadB. they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they needed to perform unusual green tasks27. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year？A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.B. They ignore other s’ ungreen behavior.C. They chose better chemical cleaners.D. They sold their home-made food.28. What can we infer form the last paragraph？A. The government will give support to the green people.B. The couple may continue their project in the future.C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.CHere is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can’t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain couldlabor without reaching a stage of fatigue （疲劳）. To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素）and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired？Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired？ Joy？ Satisfaction？ No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.29. What surprised the scientists a few years ago？A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.30. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired？A. Challenging mental work.B. Unpleasant emotions.C. Endless tasks.D. Physical labor.31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea？A. He agrees with them.B. He doubts them.C. He argues against them.D. He hesitates to accept them.32. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___________.A. have some good foodB. enjoy their workC. exercise regularlyD. discover fatigue toxinsD“In deed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug（萤火虫）. But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install analarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others’conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug’ in his invented record player.”33. We learn from Paragraph 1 that __________________.A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC.the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth centuryD.both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century34.

AAlexandra Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex's parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication that she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.By her second birthday, Alex was able to stand up with leg braces (支架).She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be overcoming the difficulties, until the shocking discovery within the next year that her tumors(肿瘤)had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植)and informed her mother, “When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand.”She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other k ids, like they helped me.” True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $2,000 for “her hospital”.People from all over the world, moved by h er story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to Alex and her cause. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $ 1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family — including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey—and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring cause through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (基金会).21. It can be learned from the text that Alex ______.A. couldn’t walk until she was fourB. was the only daughter of the ScottsC. held her first lemonade stand in 2001D. was born with cancer22. Why was Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation founded?A. To promote her lemonade.B. To set up a children’s hospit al.C. To attract public attention to her disease.D. To collect money to help children with cancer.23. What did the public do to support Alex and her cause?A. They helped her sell lemonade.B. They provided free stands for her.C. They donated money to her foundation.D. They donated stem cells for her operation.24. Which of the following can best describe Alex?A. Stubborn.B. Determined.C. Innocent.D. Energetic.BDobson Ranch Housing Association1000 Sidewinder RoadMesa, AZ 85202October 15Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon 1442 Saddleback RoadMesa, AX 85205Dear Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon,I am writing this letter to congratulate you on your new purchase of a house in the Dobson Ranch area. We feel that this is one of the best neighborhoods of high quality in the city of Mesa, and we are happy to be able to call you neighbors.For your information, there are a few things we would like to tell you. One is that there are certain duties that go with living in Dobson Ranch. In order to keep property (房地产)values at the highest possible levels, we insist that everyone who lives in Dobson Ranch take care of their property. This means that the grass needs to be cut regularly, branches of the trees and bushes should be cut off, and there should be no unattractive additions to houses, nor should houses be painted in colors like red or blue. If you want to make any additions to your house, you need our permission first.The people of Dobson Ranch also have monthly meetings to discuss various issues of concern in our community. You are welcome to attend. We typically hold meetings on the first Saturday of every month at 7: 00 PM at the Dobson Ranch Community Center. You will receive a notice via e-mail a few days before every meeting as a reminder. We hope that you will join us as much as you see fit.Again, welcome to the neighborhood, and I look forward to meeting you soon.Sincerely,Juan Sanchez PresidentDobson Ranch Housing AssociationOctober 20Dear Mr Sanchez,Thank you very much for your letter welcoming us to the neighborhood. My wife and I appreciate your concern, and we also appreciate you letting us know about the various rules that apply to this neighborhood. Please do not worry about us. No matter where we live, we always try to beneighbors taking care to do our work pr operly. We too are well aware of property values. To be honest, we are actually pleased that there are regulations that must be obeyed. In the past, we have had neighbors who have not taken care of their homes and yards; at least we know that we will not have to worry about that here.As for the meetings, thank you for your kind invitation, but I’m afraid that you probably won’t see us too often. My work takes me out of town, so when I’m not traveling, I prefer to stay home. Similarly, my wife works long hours at the hospital and prefers to spend her days off relaxing at home. However, if we have the time, we will try to make it to a meeting. Again, thank you for welcoming us.Sincerely,Fred Deacon25. Why do peo ple who live in Dobson Ranch need to take care of their homes?A. To ensure that no one complains about how the area looks.B. To make the neighborhood look as good as possible.C. To keep the property worth as much as possible.D. To be good neighbors.26. What does Fred Deaco n think about the rules at Dobson Ranch?A. He agrees to them.B. He thinks they require too much.C. He would like to discuss them later.D. He feels that they are not severe enough.27. For the in vitation to the monthly meetings, Fred Deacon responds that ______.A. he will attend regularlyB. he will attend with his wifeC. his wife will attend aloneD. neither he nor his wife will attend very oftenCFor many years, machines have been doing work that people once did, including some difficult jobs. Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area where they may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings: the restaurant industry.Teams from around the world competed in early June at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals in California. A team from South Korea and its robot, called DRC-Hubo, won the first place in the competition. The second and third place winners were from the United States. The robots were required to drive a vehicle, climb up steps and do mechanical work. Such activities are easy for humans to perform, but more difficult for machines. Not all of the competitors were successful. The failures showed how difficult it is to design effective walking machines.Akihiro Suzuki works at Yaskawa Electric, a company that develops robots. He says robots cannot do everything a human can? but they are able to work without becoming tired. He says robots cannot taste food, change heating levels or seasonings to get the best flavor (风味).But he says ifa food can be easily prepared, a robot can repeat the same movement to reproduce the same meal.One Japanese woman who saw the robots working wanted to bring them home. Masayo Moti says she would like to have a husband who could work like a robot. Suzumo Machinery showed its sushi (寿司)maker robot. It performs the often difficult work of wrapping the popular Japanese food. Hiroshi Monden is an official with the company. He says people all over the world now eat sushi, but there are not enough skilled workers to prepare it. He says his machine can help anyone make sushi.28. In Paragraph 1, the author tells us ______.A. robots just do difficult jobsB. robots are sometimes dangerousC. robots are widely used in our lifeD. robots are gradually replacing humans29. Why did some teams fail at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals?A. Their robots cannot be applied at home.B. Preparing food is really difficult for robots.C. Their robots can just repeat the same movement.D. They f ailed to design effective walking robots.30. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. Japanese men are lazyB. robots are popular in JapanC. Japan has advanced high technologyD. robots usually take the job of making sushi in Japan31. In which column can we probably see the text?A. Education.B. Culture.C. Health.D. Science.DZheng Penyu: Interest is the best teacher. Classrooms that weren’t fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests. At the same time, they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions. All in all, the new system would be a good chance to inspire students’ passion for studying.Sun Yao: Despite its benefits, I’m worried about whether the new system would work. Going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class. Also, not all schools could offer so many diversified classes.Shi Zhenhan: I support students learning in different classes. It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult. Teachers could also teach more effectively. What’s more, friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise.Zhou Qingqing: in my opinion, studying in different classrooms might affect students’psychological(心理的)development. They might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly. They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class.Hu Qile: I applaud the idea. It would help teachers set up special teaching plans fordifferent classes. For students, making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible. Changing classrooms could also help relive the boredom of doing the same dull routine(惯例) every day.Wang Xiaoqiang: The new system might help with students’individual development, but I still prefer the current system. Studying in one fixed classroom, students with different academic levels can help each other. Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience.32.According to Sun Yao,which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. The new system will work if great measures are taken.B. All the schools can’t afford so many diversified classes.C. Students will have more time to relax.D. He supports the system because of its benefits.33.Among the following people, who prefers the new system?A. Sun Yao.B. Hu Qile.C. Zhou QingqingD. Wang Xiaqian34.What is the passage about?A. Schools should offer diversified classes to students.B. Students find it difficult to develop friendship.C. Different opinions about changing classroom.D. Changing classroom can help with students’ individual development.35.Which of the following can best replace the word” applaud” in paragraph 5?A. hateB. opposeC. favorD. benefit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。

第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
APeople in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license. The law went into effect on January l. California is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador eight years ago without perm ission from the U.S. government. Some call such people "illegal immigrants." Others call them "undocumented immigrants".Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, or DMV. He says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared.The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words "Federal Limits Apply". That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center, says someillegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups say the police and others will not.Dan Schnur, a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. But Professor Schnur argued that young, white Americans generally support immigration reform, including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants"It's simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did." Professor Schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States.21. Why did the new law make Mr. Alvarado excited？A. Because he can request a driver's license.B. Because he became a legal immigrant of California.C. Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant.D. Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.22. What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens'？A. The words “Federal Limits Apply” will abuse illegal immigrantsB. They can't be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building.C. They can be used to act against the police and other people.D. With the words "Federal Limits Apply", immigrants can enjoy special rights.23. What's the public's attitude towards the new law released on January l in California？A. supportiveB. negativeC. neutralD. controversialB◆Walking tall, and safelySome women simply refuse to give up high heels, despite slush （雪泥）, ice and snow. Now there's Winter Trax for them, designed to fit over high-heel boots and make their walk on the wild side a little more safe. Metal coils （圈） wrap around rubber at the front end of the shoe, with the heel end open.◆Snow skirt steps up into fashionDown with snow pants. Up with snow skirts! Montreal's Fantasy World Heroes has created these skirts to layer over minis and jeans as the snow season sets in. In a range of colors and available in wool, and quiltings, they come in four sizes and adjustable.◆Doc Martens, those army-inspired leather boots, are back. They were last popular when Kurt Cobain was all the rage （风靡一时）. So far, just a few teens and fashion people have been spotted wearing the slight fat boots, but they have already appeared on stylish models like Irina Lazareanu and Agyness Deyn.Neon stores sold Doc Martens 15 years ago and its owner Irving Tajfel wasn't sure at first if he was ready to relive the trend."I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Doc Martens at a fashion fair in Barcelona last year. Then I saw all the cool fashion kids wearing them in Paris. That got me thinking that it was about time Doc Martens came back in style here." Tajfel said.24. We can know from the passage that WinterTrax .A. makes women like Doc Martens moreB. protects the back end of high-heel bootsC. makes women enjoy high-heel boots in winterD. protects women from being robbed25. When in Barcelona last year, Irving Tajfel probably _ .A. wore a pair of Doc MartensB. found Doc Martens was put on showC. placed an order for Doc MartensD. saw fashion kids wearing Doc Martens26. Which of the following can be used to fill in the blank？A. Leather boots are popular againB. Kurt Cobain and its musicC. How to choose high-quality bootsD. Doc Martens make a brave return27. What is this passage mainly about？A. High-heel boots.B. Seasons.C. Clothes fashion.D. Weather.CCan eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss？ No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones, substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure.Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology （神经病学） at Columbia University in new York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules（胶囊）. The study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one group's capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placeboDr. Manson says it's not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract（提取）may be developed in the future But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.28. What was done to the subjects after Dr. Small's study？A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.B. They were given capsules containing flavones.C. They were given brain imaging and memory tests.D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.29. What's the similarity of the two experiments？A. Both use high-level flavones capsules.B. The number of the subjects is the same.C. Drinks a nd placebos are used in both experiments.D. The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.30. Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study？A. To prove the first experiment is wrong.B. To carry out the experiment further.C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory.D. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph？A It's not necessary for us to eat chocolate.B The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be.C. In the future we can ge t flavones without eating chocolate.D. It's easy for people t o get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.DAll you have is what you brin g with youI've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I've found myself in.My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old. She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed."I'll be right back." she said.She was gone just a few minutes, but in that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me." Do you have money for me, son？" she said. "I'll need to be paid."I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed.By the time my mom returned, I was angry. "You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her!"Now that I'm an adult, you'll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it.I've alw ays admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector （投影仪） and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb（灯泡）on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new' projector."It's Okay." he announced. "There's nothing to worry about."We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare bulb for the Overhead projector. Who could even think of that？I often told my students, "When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you." And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared.32. Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases'？A. The boy was shopping by himself.B. The boy's mother asked her to do so.C. The cashier was playing a joke on him.D. The boy's mother was away for something else.33. Why was the boy angry with his mother？A. His mother left him alone.B. He lost face in front of the cashier.C. His mother forgot to buy something.D. He had just quarreled with the cashier.34. Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him？A. He was always well-prepared.B. His presentation was about bulbs.C. He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality.D. He predicted the bulb on the projector would blow out.35. What do the two stories tell us？A. Accidents happen almost every day.B. Money is the key that opens all doors.C. In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day.D. Chances favor those who are well-prepared.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。
