So far, archaeologists have unearthed masses of important cultural items from four of the pits, including pieces of gold masks, gold foil, bronze(青铜)masks, bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. The rest of the newly discovered pits arc still being dug up.“Surprisingly, we have unearthed some never — heard — of — before bronze items," said Lei Yu, from the Sichuan Archaeology Research Institute. 'Tor instance, some large and well-made bronze items have strange-looking dragon or cow designs on them.”In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China" according to Tang Fei, head of the digging team.The new pits sit next to two sacrificial pits discovered in 1986, with areas ranging between 3o square metersand 19 square meters. Together they form an area in which people of the ancient Shu civilization held ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and their forefathers, and prayed for good luck and peace.The Sanxingdui Ruins is regarded as one of the greatest archaeological finds of mankind in the 20th century. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the 1920s. The ruins are located in the city ofGuanghan, about 60 kilometers fromChengduand are believed to be the relics of theShuKingdom.4. What can we learn from the text?A. Totally there are 500 treasures unearthed.B. Six new sacrificial pits are under repair.C. The unearthed treasures date from 3000 years ago.D. There are six sacrificial pits at Sanxingdui.5. What does the discovery of the relics of silk products mean?A. Chinese civilization was widely influential.B.AncientShuKingdomwas also the home of silk.C. Chinese silk has a much longer history than known.D.ShuKingdombelonged toChinasince ancient times.6. What was the main function of the sacrificial pits?A. To celebrate festivals.B. To store valuable items.C. To bury important figures.D. To hold sacrifice ceremonies.7. Who first discovered the Sanxingdui Ruins?A. A farmer.B. Lei YuC. Tang Fei.D. Archaeologists.CI’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.Welcome to the pandemic (疫情) of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do? There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.8. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .A. desperateB. humorousC. boredD. worried9. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?A. To feel hopeful.B. To make a wish.C. To take adventures.D. To broaden horizons.10. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By showing evidences.B. By providing examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By interpreting opinions.11. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to go for a trip.B. Why people need to travel.C. How to fight the pandemic.D. What people should do at home.DSome people take their holiday decoration very seriously. And some take it to the next level. The Griffith family in Kenova, West Virginia, is in this camp. They put on a display that shows they’re just filled with Halloweenspirit.Each year, this family displays 3,000 pumpkins (南瓜) in front of their home for the Halloween season. Yes, you readthatright. Ric Griffith puts out one jack-o’ -lantern (南瓜灯) for every person who lives in Kenova.Of course he doesn’t do it all on his own. He has a lot of help from his family, and also from members of the community who are super-proud of what has become quite the tourist attraction over the years. More than 30,000 people stop by to see the amazing display, which includes jack‑o’‑lanterns cut to look like the faces of famous people, animals, cartoon characters, and other creative designs. It’s certainly a must-see as part of the area’s Ceredo-Kenova Autumnfest.To fit in all 3,000 pumpkins, Griffith and his helpers spread them across the home’s garden and front porch (门廊), as well as on the roof!Griffith began the tradition back in 1978 with just fivepumpkins and, many years later, it’s much bigger and better. People can’t help but come to the area, walking along the sidewalk outside the house to get that perfect Halloween experience.“Locals take great pride in it, and then there are people from around the country who plan fall trips and include it in their trips so they can see it,” said Tyson Compton, president of the Cabell‑Huntington Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s really something.”“It’s become a tradition for many people in our area, and it feels good to keep that going,” Griffith said.12. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The Griffiths selling 3,000 pumpkins a day.B. Ric Griffith giving 3,000 jack-o’‑lanterns to tourists.C. Ric Griffith teaching 3,000 people how to display jack-o’‑lanterns.D. The Griffiths decorating their house with 3,000 pumpkins.13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Ric Griffith’s idea has received support from his community.B. There are only two kinds of jack-o’‑lanterns.C. Ric Griffith dislikes asking for help from others.D. There are 30,000 people in Kenova.14. What do we know about the tradition?A. It began with 1,978 pumpkins.B. It has lasted more than 40 years.C. It includes five pumpkin competitions.D. It encourages people to do more exercise.15. What’s Tyson Compton’s attitude towards the tradition?A. Worried.B. Uncaring.C. Favorable.D. Uncertain.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。

Home and foreign students.BRecently, a group of scientists decided to find out what the funniest joke in the world was. This was obviously a difficult task, as no two people really agree about what is funny and what is not—especially when they are from different countries.Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world:Two hunters were out in the woods. One of them fell to the ground. He didn’t seem to be breathing;his eyes were closed. The other hunter took out his mobile phone and called the emergency services.“My friend is dead!” he cried to the operator. “What can I d o?”The operator said,“Don’t worry. First, make sure he’s dead.” There was a silence, and then a shot was heard. Bang! The hunter’s voice came back on the line. He said, “OK, now what?”This is perhaps amusing. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent. But perhaps this is not so all over the world. It’s also quite a “black” joke—a joke about something which isn’t really a funny subject. The experts also found the second funniest joke in the world. Here it is:Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After dinner, they went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes woke up. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” “I see millions of stars, Holmes,” replied Watson.“And what do you infer from that? ”“Well, there are billions of stars ... we are a small part of the universe ...”“Watson, you idiot!” he said. “Someone has stolen our tent!” Ipersonally think this is better.Can scientists in the end decide what is funny? Some things are much too complicated, even for scientists.24.What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Fewjokes can make scientists laugh.B.Only scientists can find out the funniest joke.C.There are different jokes in different countries.D.People hold different opinions about what is funny.25.What does the author think of the first joke? A. It isnot so funny as the experts thought.B.It is really the funniest joke he has ever heard.C.It can greatly affect readers’ attitudes toward hunters.D.It shows that not all hunters are brave and intelligent.26.We can learn that a person’s understanding of a jokecan be affected by ________.A. the reader’s feelingB. the length of the jokeC. the reader’s cultural backgroundD. the language that the teller uses 27. Which of t hefollowing is the best title for this passage?A. Uninteresting jokesB. Different kinds of jokesC. The funniest jokes in the worldD. Tips on how to make others laugh CWhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!About a year ago,NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor,a 3-D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype(原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cook ed and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”— a mix of tomato powder,oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process,the inventor says that once the pizza is printed,it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printe r last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients(配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully,NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!28.Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A.To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they live a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.29.NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ________.A.create some new type of 3-D printerB.attract more companies to work for NASAC.help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD.produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits30.The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that ________.A.he has no moneB.y left to go on with his researchC.the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza loversD.he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsE.he cannot make the food container last for decades31.What’s the best title of the passage?A.NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB.Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC.NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to makepizzaDFollowing the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP),also named COVID-19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing –the NCP’s symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu, but it’s potentially more dangerous.Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola. But what are viruses? How can they cause so much trouble?Viruses are non-living organisms approximately one-millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.Viruses can infect every living thing – from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections trigger(引发) no noticeable reaction.Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can enter our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect. For example, HIV, which causes AIDS, attacks the T-cells of the immune system.But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virol ogist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve invaded.”However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved from pieces of DNA orRNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.32.What can we learn about viruses from the text?A.Viruses have nothing to do with the common cold.B.Viruses are really small living organisms.C.Viruses can’t reproduce unless they find a host cell.D.Viruses enter our bodies mainly through the mouth, nose and hair.33.Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses? A. They evolved from the fossils of largeorganisms.B.They evolved from parasites into independent organisms.C.They evolved from the T-cells in animals.D.They evolved along with their host cells.34.The underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph probably means _______.A.reasonableB. commonC. creativeD. unbelievable35.What can we conclude from the text?A.Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals’.B.Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C.It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.D.The author is optimistic about future virus research.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。

AWhen Ariyah Georges was born 15 weeks early, she weighed only one pound, 12 ounces. Her mother, Jovan, knew how important breastfeeding was, especially for a premature (早产的) baby like Ariyah, so she began pumping milk to feed her through a tube. But two days later, Jovan felt dizzy and feverish — 104 Fahrenheit degrees, in fact. She had a blood disease and was close to full shock.She was separated from others for nearly two weeks at the regional Northern Virginia hospital where she'd delivered. During that time, she could still pump breast milk, but Ariyah couldn't consume it because of the risk of infection. Without it, the newborn was particularly easily affected by diseases. There are many cases like this, which creates the need for the milk donation.Enter donor milk breast milk purchased by hospitals for mothers who aren't able to produce enough milk on their own due to health complications, stresses, or other factors. The milk comes from milk banks, organizations that collect and screen breast milk from those women willing to donate. Usually processed in intensive-care units, the milk is only available by prescription.In recent years, both milk banks and the use of donated human milk have risen swiftly in the United States. In 2011, 22 percent of NICUs used donor breast milk; four years later, that number doubled to nearly 40 percent, and went even higher for the most intensive NICUs — as much as 75 percent. There are 23 milk banks in the United States recognized by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, or HMBANA, double the number that existed five years ago.But as the demand for donor milk rises, banks must find more charitable donors — a task made more complicated by informal networks of milk sharing that happens online. And many of the most vulnerable infants are still not being reached.1. Jovan couldn't feed her baby Ariyah on her breast milk because_______.A. Ariyah was a premature babyB. Jovan couldn't produce enough milkC. Jovan was separated from othersD. Jovan was in poor health.2. By telling the story of Ariyah and her mother, the writer wants to______.A. tell us what to do if mothers cannot produce enough milk.B. remind us of the importance of breastfeeding the newborn.C. introduce the topic of an increasing need for donated human milk.D. warn us against the risk of the newborn being affected by diseases.3. How is the writer's idea mainly developed in Paragraph 4?A. By following time order.B. By listing statistics.C. By giving examplesD. By making predictions.4. What problem are milk banks now faced with?A. It's difficult to find enough charitable donors.B. networks of milk looking for donors online are informal.C. The milk purchased from milk banks cannot reach infants' home.D. The number of women willing to donate breast milk are decreasing.【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. A【解析】1本题考点为细节理解题。

2020届成都市第二十中学高三英语一模试卷及答案解析

2020届成都市第二十中学高三英语一模试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读(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AA brother and a sister have been reunited (重逢) after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwynand Hatfield Times. For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again.Margery, the eldest of three children, had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby.The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts (下落). The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.“That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper,” he said. “It’s like a dream that comes true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right.My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr Hannant decided to take action.He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.Now 88, Margery was recovering from her heart operation, but immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something I never thought that was going to happen but I always hoped it would.” AS well as finding his sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.1.The headline of the news would be “________”.A.An unforgettable and moving experienceB.The Hannant family lost touch because of warC.A brother and a sister reunited after 60 yearsD.The importance of a letter to WHT2.Margery left her family because ________.A.she attended the air schoolB.she joined the Royal Air ForceC.she had to feed her familyD.a big flood hit her hometown3.Who helped the family reunite after many years?A.Margery’s husband Jack CookeB.The photographer of the photo of Margery.C.A neighbour of Mr Hannant.D.A reader of WHT.BEven as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains abit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people,” said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google’s headquarters inMountain View,California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype (雏形) is the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can’t drive because of age or illness.Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don’t own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, includingDelphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.4. According to Chris Urmson, __________.A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humansB. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderlyC. software and sensors are vital for self-driving carsD. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars5. Paragraph 4 is meant to tell us that __________.A. many traffic accidents are caused by human errorB. some people can’t drive because of illness or ageC. Urmson has promised to create safer roads in the futureD. self-driving cars will probably help to make safer roads and decrease traffic jams6. The underlined word “issued” in the last paragraph can probably bereplaced by__________.A. givenB. claimedC. awardedD. prohibited7. What’s the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars?A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Subjective.D. Favorable.CMost children who have suffered from ADHD still have it as teens. During teen years, especially as the hormonal changes of teenagers are going on and the demands of school and extra-curricular activities are increasing, ADHD may get worse.Because of problems with getting unfocused and poor concentration, many teens with ADHD have problems in school. Grades may fall, especially if the teen is not getting ADHD treatment. It’s not uncommon for teens with ADHD to forget their homework, lose textbooks, and become bored with their daily class work. Teens may become inattentive or extremely attentive, not waiting for their turn before blurting out answers. They may cut in on their teacher and classmates. Teens with ADHD may also befidgetyand find it hard to sit still in class.Often, teens with ADHD are so busy focusing on other things that they forget about the task at hand. This can be seen especially with homework and athletic skills and in relationships with their schoolmates. This lack of attention to what they’re doing often leads to bad grades on tests and being passed over for sports teams, after-school activities, and learning teams. Kids with ADHD can be targets for bullying, too. But, not all children with ADHD have trouble getting along with others. If your child does, you can take measures to help improve their social skills and relationships.ADHD affects all parts of a teenager’s life. As a parent you should discover your teen’s troubles as early as possible. The earlier your child’s troubles are discovered, the more successful the following steps can be.8. What does the author plan to do in paragraph 1?A. To list the types of ADHD.B. To introduce the main topic.C. To show the author’s opinion.D. To explain the causes of ADHD.9. What does the underlined word “fidgety” probably mean in paragraph 2?A. Clever.B. Noisy.C. Restless.D. Lazy.10. What is the text mainly about?A. Ways to deal with ADHD.B. Effects of ADHD on teens.C. Teens’ school performances.D. Demands of school work.11. What may the following paragraph talk about?A. How parents can help a teen with ADHD.B. The importance of healthy peer relationships.C. How many children are suffering from ADHD. D. Different opinions about treating ADHD in teens.DThe COVID-19 vaccination(接种疫苗)rate in the US has fallen to newlows in recent weeks, threatening President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70 percent of American adults with at least one shot by July 4.With just less than one month from July 4, the current vaccination rate will put the US at somewhere between 67 percent and 68 percent of the adult population with at least one dose(剂量)by Independence Day. To reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)reported last week that 63 percent of adults hadreceived their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from the CDC.The slowdown is moreprominentacross the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot as of June 7.James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bringthe vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the Johnson&Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting(凝血)reactions.The “low-hanging fruit—thosepeople who ly want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according to the Post.12. What can we learn from the text?A. Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.B. In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3C. In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson&Johnson vaccine.D. Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?A. Meaningful.B. Obvious.C. Inspiring.D. Complex.14. How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?A. By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.B. By offering the vaccine to the public for free.C. By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.D. By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4B. CDC has been trackingthe vaccination rate since mid-FebruaryC. Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them toD. Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missed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。

In the late1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective, according to Carol Willis, director of theSkyscraperMuseuminNew York, “The very first tall buildings were office buildings that concentrated a work force, piled one on top of the other in order to make business very efficient, ”she says.Like all major changes in architecture, the trend wasunderpinnedby engineering. The development of steel framework, which could be used instead of load-bearing stones, made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The coming of the elevator, meanwhile, made living on higher floors far more convenient.Though similar in shape, today's skyscrapers (摩天大楼) look little like those built in the first half of the 20thcentury. This is mostly thanks to architecture's next major technological shift:the curtain wall.Postwar developments in manufacturing meant that huge panes of glass could be produced quickly and uniformly, and glass windows soon became the front of choice for high-rises. As well as allowing for greater floor space and more natural light, glass exteriors (外部) help. buildings resist greater windloads.There are now 191 completed skyscrapers that are at least 300 meters tall. But that doesn't mean our cities will grow taller indefinitely. While each additional story adds sellable floor space, construction costs also rise. All buildings reach a point where adding an extra floor will cost more money than it brings.“Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture, ”but it also needs places for people to live and work in urban settings“without the city sprawling (无序扩张), ”explains Hong Kong architect Simon Chan.The next big challenge facing architects goes beyond height:At a time when buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world's energy consumption and contribute about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions(排放), there are new costs to consider.Whether it's employing more energy-efficient materials, encouraging natural air or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy, reducing carbon emissions is the new frontier for many skyscraper architects.4. What does the underlined word“underpinned” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Created.B. Prepared.C. Suggested.D. Supported.5. What made living on higher floors much more convenient?A. The development of steel framework.B. Load-bearing stones.C. The use of the elevator.D. The curtain wall.6. What can we know from paragraph 5?A. Our cities will grow taller definitely.B. All skyscrapers are at least 300 meters tall.C. Construction cost rises as the stories increase.D. The profit for builders will be greater as the building becomes higher.7. What's the next big challenge facing architects?A. How to build the greenest building.B. How to build the strongest building.C. How to build the tallest building in the world.D. How to build the most comfortable building.CWe all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall encourage purposeful learning.But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends toremember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said: “Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once,you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Othersrepeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent:“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.8. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.B. The fresher the information isthe easier to remember.C. Thinking is more important than remembering in study.D. The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.9. How does the writer prove his opinion?A.By giving examples.B. By listing numbers.C. By borrowing words of experts.D. By providing scientific finding.10. What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book?A. You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.B. Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.C. Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.D. Regular repetition helps to form good habits.11. Which do you think is the best title of the passage?A. How the Brain WorksB. Reading for MoreC. Fighting Against ForgettingD. Repeat to RememberDIt was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.12. Why didn't the author like the first day of spring?A. He had to work at home instead of at office.B. There wasn't social distance between each other.C. There was an epidemic everywhere in the world.D. His own company had been closed for a long time.13. How did people feel in the face of the epidemic?A. Disappointed.B. TenseC. Confident.D. Cheerful.14. What made the author happy?A. Seeing someone delivering lunches from door to door.B. Talking with his old friend in the street.C. Watching a childhood television at home.D. Staying together with his family.15. What do Mr. Roger's words actually mean?A. It's not necessary for us to find helpers in bad times.B. In good times we needn't do much to help others.C. We should ask more people to help us in bad times.D. We are supposed to help each other in bad times.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。

We learned that,over time,a full life can leave little time for personal rest and for reflection,hanging out with friends,or just being“off. ”So,after a number of years,we make a change. If I can persuade you to take your own PTO,then these might help.■Schedule itFirst of all,one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it. ”Sounds easy enough,but life gets complicated managing full-time work and full-time family. Put yourPTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.■Be flexible and strictIf you can schedule PTO at the same time each week,then all the better. Because our calendar can get rather full,flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity. But being strict in actually taking the time each week is more important. Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.■Take enough timeMy typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer. Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what I’m doing. The goal is to spend enough time away to1et your shoulders drop.■Do what you want to doRemember,PTO time is about personal time to do what you want to do,not what you have to do. PTO time is about relaxation. Grab a friend and get a beer. Work can wait until tomorrow.1.What can be the first step to take the PTO?A.Persuade the family.B.Have a personal rest.C.Ask friends for advice.D.Make a time plan.2.What does the underlined part“let your shoulders drop”probably mean?A.Get you more focused.B.Have you feel relaxed.C.Shake your shoulders often.D.Make you feel more stressed.3.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Tips on how to take your time offB.Skills to manage work and familyC.Advice on how to free yourselfD.Ways of scheduling your workBNaomi Cooke was walking with a friend and their dogs through her local park in Burnside, on Tuesday when she heard someone shout to watch out. Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a "big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. "I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it." Cooke said.Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely. "There should be rules about how it's done, making it safe for everyone.”4. What happened to Cooke on Tuesday?A. She was struck by a golf ball.B. She was hit by a flying disc.C. She was beaten by two men.D. She was frightened by a mad dog.5. What do the underlined words "the pair" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Cooke and her friend.B. Cooke and her dog.C. The two disc golfers.D. The two CT scans.6. How did Cooke feel about people playing disc golf in the park?A. Acceptable.B. Shocked.C. Angry.D. Worried.7. Why did Cooke plan to go to the council?A. To get the two men in trouble.B. To call for a ban on disc golf.C. To ask for personal protection.D. To call for safer places for disc golf.CBecoming famous is the dream of many, and Tian is getting closer to that dream.Tian, 30, is a white-collar worker inBeijing.

The industry value is expected to go up to the 30 billion mark in 2020. Companies like Tencent, Sohu and Iqiyi have all started providing short video content.“Short videos are popular because they are an addition to traditional audio and video content on the internet,” said Sun Jiashan with the Chinese National Academy of Arts.Fans say that the short videos help them “chill out” from a stressed-out lifestyle. “My favorite videos are all about pets,” said Zhou Na, a nurse inHefei, capital of East China’sAnhuiprovince. “After a whole day’s work, watching the 15-second videos makes me laugh, which reduces my pressure.”8.

In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter(29%)rely only on their smartphones according to a survey(调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a thirdconcedethat it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor (因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlinesnow and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who iscalling before we pick up the phone(using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobilephones?A. Their target users.B. Their wide popularity.C. Their major functions.D. Their complex design.13. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Admit.B. Argue.C. Remember.D. Remark.14. What can we say about Baby Boomers?A. They like smartphone games.B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.C. They keep using landline phones.D. They are attached to their family.15. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?A. It remains a family necessity.B. Itwill fall out of use some day.C. It may increase daily expenses.D. It is as important as the gas light.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。

However, the picture for hydropower is more complicated than we think.A new study by the Environmental Defense Fund analyzed the climate impacts of 1,500 hydropower facilities across the globe. That accounts for about half of hydropower generation worldwide. The researchers looked at whether the facilities behave as a greenhouse gas sink or as a source. To figure this out, they looked into all the different components that help determine a hydropower facility's greenhouse gasemissions (排放).“There are so many contributors to greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower — but essentially, the majority of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the reservoir (水库) itself, as vegetation and soils are submerged underwater in the dam thatis used for the hydropower generation.” said lissa Ocko, a senior climate scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and co-author of the study. As the submerged vegetation breaks down, it releases greenhouse gases such as CO2.“The larger the surface area of the reservoir, the more greenhouse gases are going to be given out from that reservoir. Also, the temperature plays a role as well how warm the reservoir is will affect how much greenhouse gases are produced and given out from the reservoir.” added Ocko.Through their analysis, Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg, also with the Environmental Defense Fund, discovered that the climate impacts of hydropower cover a complete range. The good news is that some facilities perform just as well as wind and solar. But shockingly, more than 100 facilities are actually worse for the climate than fossil fuels. The study is in the journalEnvironmentalScience and Technology.This finding doesn't mean we should forget about hydropower. “But we just need to be careful to make sure that we have climate benefits. There are a lot of situations where hydropower can be equal to wind and solar. So it really depends on the specific facility." said Ocko.8. How do scientists prove hydropower facilities' effect on the climate?A. By making comparisons.B. By conducting experiments.C. By referring to previous studies.D. By analyzing causes and effects.9. What are the main sources of greenhouse gases from hydropower?A. Vegetation and soils.B. Heat and sunlight.C. Pollutants in the reservoir.D. Components of the generators.10. What have Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg found?A The surface area of a reservoir decides the climate.B. Hydropower often influences the climate in all aspects.C. Some facilities perform much better than wind and solar.D. Fossil fuels are worse for the climate than over 100 facilities.11. What is the text mainly about?A. Scientists urge an end to hydropower.B. Hydropower is not necessarily green.C. Hydropower is worse than fossil fuels.D. Renewable energy is a complicated issue.DWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.12. What are the participants divided by?A. Medical history.B. Health condition.C. Physical activity.D. Eating speed.13. Which may be the result of the study?A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D. Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.14. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?A. Tasting slowly.B. Digesting quickly.C. Eating greedily.D. Cooking carefully.15. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The importance of eating speed.B. The advantage of eating slowly.C. The result of a Chinese study.D. Fast eating and overeating.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。

Land Art w as the most popular art in the 1960s.B. Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.C. American artists w ere the first to create Land Art.D.

Works of Land Art.B. History of Land Art.C. Changes of Land Art.D. Introduc tion of Land Art.D"Bike sharing" have become popu lar w ords in cities from Cape Tow n to Shanghai to Melbourne.Planners,polit icians and media keep show ing off their benefits:reducing pollut ion,traffic jams,travel costs and oil dependence,while improving public health.Bike sharing also helps make cities appear modern,dynamic and w orld-wide--qualities much sought after by the creative class.But w hat makes for a successful public bike-sharing program?This is an important question because fixingone requires significant public and private investment and adjustment to the built environment.While many programs have been launched among much praise,often their popularity has soon declined.Many end up operating at a financial loss and depend on other profitable businesses to cross -subsidize (交叉补贴)them.Some have resulted in throw n-aw ay bikes becoming an eyesore.Understanding w hich factors encourage or stop public bike sharing is critical in help ing cit iesdecide w hether such a program is w orkable,before considering w hat design and sitting w ill w ork best.Draw ing on current know ledge,w e discuss the importance of the local landscape,climate,cycling infrastructure(基础设施)and land use.We also touch on other factors ,such as the legal environment and the characteristics of the bike-sharing program itself.Take natural env ironment for example.Tw o natural environment factors are know n to affect participation:h illiness and w eather.Hilliness discourages balanced bike-sharing use ,as users avoid returning bicycles to stations on hilltops.Those stations end up being empty,w hile stations on flat areas are often full,so users cannot find a station to return their bikes.As for w eather,ideal temperature ranges vary by the clim ate zone.Case studies show w arm and dry w eather encourages public bike-sharing use.Rain and strong w ind reduce the frequency of trips.How ever,some approaches,such as providing sheltered,shaded,or even heated or cooled cycling infrast ructure,could prove useful.12.What can w e infer about bike sharing from Paragraph 1?______A. It has no disadvantage.B. It is w elcomed w orldw ide.C. It can solve every problem.D. It is the symbol of modern cities.13.What is the current situation of bike-sharing programs?______A. Many of them run at a loss.B. Most of them make huge profits.C. They are the most promising business.D. Their development is determined by public investment.14.Why does the author mention the natural environment?______A. To show the significance of some factors.B. To show the necessity of bike-sharing programs.C. To show the decisive function of natural environment.D. To show user 's interest in various natural environment.15.Which of the follow ing might increase bike-sharing use?______A. Hilliness.B. Attractive bikes.C. Rain and strong w ind.D. Perfect cycling infrastructure.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)What is culture?Culture is too complex to define in simple terms.(1) One is that culture is a total pattern of behaviour that is consistent in its components.Another fundamental is that culture is learned behaviour.The third is that culture is behaviour that is shared by a group of people.To understand the culture of a particular country or region,one could examine its components,among which are material culture,language,and social organisation.Material culture includes the tools and symbols in a society,not including those physical things found in nature,unless they have undergone some change or have been given meaning by people.(2) The way we consume and what we consume are heavily influenced by material culture.(3) Linked with all other aspects of culture,it reflects the nature and values of that culture.Industrialised societies have a rich vocabulary for commercial and industrial activities,while less industrialised societies may have richer vocabularies for matters important to theirsocieties.The Eskimos in Alaska have many words to describe snow whereas English has only one general term.Social organisation differs somewhat from society to society.The primary kind of community association is based on blood ties.(4) .It provides mutual protection,psychological support,and a kind of economic insurance or social security for its members.The term "brothers" in Zaire includes those whom we call cousins and uncles.Cultural analysis serves a variety of purposes.Understanding the various dimensions and their inter- relatedness helps promote cross-cultural awareness.(5)A.Some scholars even suggest that it is useless to try.B.Language is the most obvious difference between cultures.C.However,there are certain agreed- on fundamentals that can be easily identified.D.The values represented within a culture can also change with the passing of time.E.For example,a mouse running on a street is not part of a culture,but the Mickey Mouse is.F.In many developing countries,the extended family fulfills several social and economic roles.G.It leads on to the promotion of goodwill,social and economic planning and harmony between social groupings or societies.16.

Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.Yes, it’s a parent’s job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren’t mature enough to do so. That’s why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager’s car keys until he finishes his college applications.But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?“Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,” many child development experts say, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure, the children don’t acquire them.”12. What do we know about snowplow parenting?A. It appeared before helicopter parenting.B. It costs parents less than helicopter parenting.C. It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century.D. It provides more than enough services for children.13. What is mainly discussed about snowplow parenting in Paragraph 4?A. Its cost.B. Its benefits.C. Its popularity.D. Its ending.14. Why does the author mention parents’ taking away car keys?A. To show teenagers are no better than babies.B. To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys.C. To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers.D. To show it’s appropriate to help children when necessary.15. What’s the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts?A. Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality.B. Children mastering more key life skills than parents.C. Children gaining great success in every aspect of life.D. Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.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。

I have thus searched the country within a doz en miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, o ne after another, and I knew their prices.The nearest thing that I came to actual owner completed the s ale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and heoffered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I l et him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just wha t I gave for it.The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its positi on, being about tow miles from the village, half a mile from the near est neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from t he highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fen ces showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up th e river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some r ocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young tr ees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he m ade any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.I wasn’t really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little differenc e whether you own a farm or not.31.What do we know about the author?A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.B. He made a study of many farms before buying.C. He made money by buying and selling farms.D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.32.Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?A. It was of good market value.B. It was next to the highway.C. It was in a good position.D. It was behind a nice garden.33.The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refe rs to _____.A. the money the author lost in buying a farmB. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell placeC. the removal of the trees around the houseD. the failure to possess the Hollowell place34.What does the author believe as important in life?A. To own a farm.B. To satisfy his needs.C. To be free from worries.D. To live in the countryside.BYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a vi ctim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold a nd difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of you r pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing your victimization. The truth is, your l ife is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yours elf or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet t hey don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have cho ice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bri ng the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal w ith many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish in anger, guilt, and other emotions that c ause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration , and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all aroun d them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine t he direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various poin ts in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible sufferin g for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experi ence may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss an d soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to h ave fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victi m within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.35.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. People and things around you.B. Opportunities and proble ms.C. Creators and their choices.D. Victims and their sufferings .36.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.37.The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _____.A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victi msB. people need family support to deal with challengers in lifeC. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their painsD. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life38.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To define victims and creators.B. To evaluate victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.CAs demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming de cades, we must consider every possible energy source at hand if we’re to meet the world’s needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, ther e is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stag e in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil gas reserve s are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they’re needed most. And that’s only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years t o search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to mar ket; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefiednatural gas (LNG), is not nearly as developed.So what needs to be done? On the supply side, producing nati ons need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the ru les of game change without warning. The sustainable development t o ensure they’ll have enough supplies in the future, that means building the relate d facilities, including LNG stations. This, in turn, will require coastal a reas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibil ity to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities r esponsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to buildthe complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.Expanding and diversifying energy sources by using more natu ral gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security . We’ve taken some steps to get started, but we need your help to get therest of the way.39.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Gas played a major part in the 20th century.B. Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory.C. Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.D. Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.40.The underlined word “one” (in Paragraph 2) refers to _____.A. the gas supply sideB. the business environmentC. the gas consuming nationD. the policy for gas developme nt41.The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. warn people of the lack of power and fuelB. discuss the importance of oil and natural gasC. call for better use and development of natural gasD. instruct people how to make use of energy sources42.The passage might be followed by a paragraph about _____.A. what kind of help you can offerB. where energy source s are concentratedC. which countries are in great need of gasD. what problems of energy sources we may faceDHow Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingsArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in c an affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists ar e giving this feeling an empirical basis. They are discovering how todesign spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers—Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a ro om’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead the m to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other ha nd, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell U niversity found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most ga ins on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off ac ademically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth T anner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classroo ms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than d id students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parkin g lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light l ow during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with round ed edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw,” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions a nd make broad, generalized use of them? That‘s what we’re all struggling with.”43.What does Joan Meyers—Levy focus on in her research?A. Light.B. Ceilings.C. Windows.D. Furniture.44.The passage tells us that _____.A. the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelingsB. lower ceilings may help improve students’ creativityC. children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed45.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably me ans that _____.A. the problem is not approached step by stepB. the researches so far have faults in themselvesC. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detectD. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patt erns46.Which of the following shows the organization of the passa ge?CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionEHumans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures an d even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of th e Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world ar ound us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far i n creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of othe r worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inbor n desire to connect with and understand other life forms, However, p eople, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a stu dy of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technolog y, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and be autiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful i nteraction with the world around us, and sometimes even with our f amilies and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with th ings that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of make—believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy become s the only outlet for our sense of wonder, then we are really missingsomething. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is th at if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.47.The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves _____.A. the close connection between man and the fantasy worldB. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literatureC. the fine taste of moviegoers around the worldD. the general existence of the sense of curiosity48.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragra ph 3?A. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.B. The world around us could serve as a sound of wonder.C. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively p ond.D. Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.49.If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make—believe, we will _____.A. fail to appreciate the joy in our livesB. be confused by the world of make—believeC. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldD. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us50.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.D. To discuss the influence of the world of make—believe.第二节补全对话(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)—Excuse me, madam. Do you mind if I ask you some questions? I need your help to complete a survey.—Of course not. 51—Could I have your opinion about modern pop music?—Modern pop music?

Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious i llness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment di dn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in ma rathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well—conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a lon g—distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obsta cles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.[2]For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long—distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten—mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Th en she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Islan d in 1975.[3]Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, i t is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, sh e impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed . For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It didn’t matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.[4]When Nyad ______________________________, she continued to try new things—traveling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public sp eeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.56.What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Gam es? (No more than 5 words)57.What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? (1 word)58.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.(No more than 10 words)59.Why did Nyad believe that she had touched the other shore ?

And sure enough,that summer she signed with a modeling agency.She was already doing runway work.One day,Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home,we stopped at the McDonald's drive-through,putting the fries on the seat between us to share. "Let's ride around a while,"I said. It was a clear night,moonlight shone over the desert. Taking a turn too fast,I hit a patch of dirt and fishtailed.French fries on the floor. An impossible amount of blood on Hannah's face. They took us in separate ambulances. In the ER,my parents spoke quietly:Best plastic surgeon in the city. End of her modeling career.We'd been wearing lap belts,but the car didn't have shoulder harnesses. I'd cracked my cheekbone;Hannah's forehead had split wide open. What would I say to her?When her mother,Sharon,came into my hospital room,I started to cry,bracing myself for her anger. She sat beside me and took my hand. "I almost ended my best friend when I was your age,,,she said,"I totaled her car and mine.”“I'm so sorry,”I said.“You're both alive,”she said,“The rest is window dressing.”I started to protest,and Sharon stopped me. “I forgive you. Hannah will too.”Sharon's forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughoutlife. I think of her gift of forgiveness every time I want to resent someone for a perceived wrong. And whenever I see Hannah,the scars are a symbol of grace for me.24. What caused the car accident?A. Poor visibility.B. Driving too fast.C. Hitting a patch of dirt.D. Not staying focused.25.

Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn't it feelgood to say it out loud? Don't you feel one step closer already? Well,bad news:you should have kept your mouth shut,because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal,there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally,you would not be satisfied until you'd actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可)it,psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it's already done. And then,because you' ve felt that satisfaction,you' re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals,right?In 1982,Peter Gollwitzer,a Professor of Psychology,wrote a whole book about this. And in 2020,he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this:163 people across four separate tests-everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺)to this goal to the room,and half didn't. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal,but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average,and when asked afterwards,said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal.But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average,and when asked afterwards,said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.28. What do the words "social reality”in Paragraph 2 mean?pletion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C.People's acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people's goal?A.By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize itD. You'll be much more motivated.DSelf-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save livesby getting involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars. But so far,most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair.Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations,and on all types of roads. However,most of the data on self-driving cars' safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways,where the most important tasks are staying in the car's own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks,but so are humans.It is true that self-driving cars don't get tired,angry,frustrated or drunk But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential perils. They largely drive from moment to moment,rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.To a self-driving car,a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited corn field. Indeed,deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans,but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An automated system’s limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate(评估)a situation the same way a human would. And machines can't beprogrammed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation(航空)shows that as new automated systems are introduced,there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.Therefore comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety,it's important to ensure the data being presented actually provide a true comparison. After all,choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply a one-for-one exchange.32. What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair?A. Self-driving cars never get tired.B.Statistics are collected differently.C. Machines can make decisions faster.D.Self-driving cars know the world better.33. What does the underlined word “perils” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Dangers.B. Self-driving cars.C. Pedestrians.D.Human-driven cars.34. In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human-driven cars?A. Driving steadily.B. Climbing steep slopes.C. Evaluating the cost of loss.D. Making complex decisions.35. Why does the author write this text?A. To support human-driven cars.B. To show his doubt about self-driving cars.C. To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.D. To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.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。
