2020-2021学年东北育才学校高三英语一模试题及答案解析
2020-2021学年东北育才学校高三英语一模试题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ASpeaking with people on the phone is pretty rare these days. Most people use e-mail or messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. Sometimes, though, making a call is unavoidable. This simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people. Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought. If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobia—the fear of speaking over the phone.Telephobia is a form of social anxiety, although people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may also experience telephobia. When speaking face-to-face, we give off lots of facial or bodily cues that help each other follow the conversation. This is not the case over the phone. And the idea of speaking into this void（真空）makes people terrified that they will freeze up, stumble over their words（失言）, or lose control of the conversation and look foolish In fact, telephobia is very similar to thefear people feel before putting on a performance in front of a big audience. However, there are things that one suffering from thin condition can do to reduce this fear and make phone calls at least somewhat bearable.One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call in smile. It may sound silly, but smiling before doing something stressful can help you feel more relaxed. It won't delete the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off it.Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. Running through a positive conversation in your head will make you feel less nervous and may help you predict any possible problems. There's no need to spend hours on this, just a few minutes thinking up a general idea of what you want to say. You can even write down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points. This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to express yourself naturally.And finally, when faced with receiving a call, you don't always have to pick up. There's nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable.So the next time your phone starts ringing, remember—speaking on the phone doesn't have to make you sweat. The important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.1. According to the article, which situation can cause a feeling similar lo telephobia?A.Speaking face-to-face to a good friend.B. Performing in front of a large audience.C. Running in a race without proper shoes.D. Using a messaging app while on the subway.2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to deal with telephobia?A.Imagining how the call will go before you make it.B. Standing on the edge of a tall building while making a call.C. Calling someone back later instead of answering their phone calls right away.D. Writing down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points.3. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To present ways to ease telephobia.B. To explain the development of telephobiaC. To introduce the influence of telephobia.D. To give the reason why someone suffers from telephobia.BAt the foot of the Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang, a homestay (民宿) is attracting travelers from far and wide, which has won architectural (建筑学的) medal at the 2021 German iF Design Awards.The owners of the homestay are a couple in their late 30s who decided to return to their hometown three years ago.

Li wants to share the quiet country life, so she makes her newhome a homestay.

We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life isfabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. Weshouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.8.

辽宁东北育才学校高一下阶段考1英语试卷
2020-2021学年辽宁东北育才学校高一下阶段考1英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Maybe you don’t think animals have certain mental powers which human beings do not have. But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especiall y afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run whining into his house and hide under a table.I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and began whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning! 1．The author named his dog Howard mainly because of_______.A．his timid characteristicB．one of the author’s friends HowardC．his loud soundD．his strange behaviors2．The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that . A．Howard had a strange behaviorB．Howard should be afraid of the metal polesC．Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightningD．Howard bit his trousers in his teeth3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Dogs are cleverer and better than men.B．Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.C．Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.D．Dogs are naturally born heroes.4．What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?A．It was about 200 meters from the author’s home.B．It was destroyed in a rainy day.C．Its roof was supported by wood poles.D．It could produce lightning.With a large part of the world's population living close to the oceans, rising sea levels bring the potential for destructive (破坏性的)results. But scientists are still unable to make predictions exact enough for people to plan to handle the loss of land and the threat to coastal communities expected over this century.“We know sea level is going to rise, but how much, and how fast, and where, we really still don’t know," said Josh Willis, a climate scientist.____________________. It doesn’t rise all the same as more water pours in. As global warming raises sea levels, some places are expected to see higher-than-average increases, and a few places, may even see decreases.It’s reported that over the course of this century, sea levels will rise between 8 inches and 6.6 feet around the planet. Scientists know this increase will be driven by the expansion of water as it warms—warmer water takes up more space—and the melting of ice. But the effects of warming water and melting ice on sea-level rise are expected to vary from area to area. And the melting of ice of the Antarctic and Greenland presents the largest uncertainty for the future, but air, land and water also play roles in changes to sea level. For example, sea level near the ice getting melt actually decreases, because the ground under the melting ice rises as the heavy ice disappears.Climate change is expected to change ocean currents and the winds that help drive ocean currents. These changes will affect the distribution of heat within the oceans, and, as a result, affect changes in sea level.Nowadays, scientists use two types of models to make predictions about the future of sea levels, but the two don’t agree. If scientists can't accurately predict sea-level increase for thecoming years, the least we can do is measure what happening today with the help of the satellite, Jason-2, but it’s reaching the end of its operational li fe.5．The first paragraph implies that_______ .A．the rising sea levels mainly happens near the coastB．people living in coastal communities have to moveC．scientists have ways to handle the rising sea levelsD．coastal cities are easily affected by the rising sea levels6．What does the writer mean by saying "The ocean isn’t like water in a bathtub" in the third paragraph?A．The rising sea level is hard to tell.B．The ocean can be easily controlled.C The ocean isn’t equal to a bathtub in size. C．There is too much water for us to control.7．According to the text, which of the following shows the right cause and effect?①climate change;②ocean currents;③the winds;④changes in sea level;⑤the distribution of heatA．①→⑤→③→④→②B．①→③→②→⑤→④C．③→④→⑤→②→①D．①→⑤→③→②→④8．What problems will scientists meet with in predicting future climate changes?A．It's too difficult to measure what's happening.B．Types of models for prediction are difficult to set up.C．There will probably be no satellites to help the scientists.D．The re aren’t enough scientists studying the changes of sea levels.When Major Mary Jennings Hegar was serving as a captain in Afghanistan, her aircraft was shot down by enemy fire while she and her crew were taking back injured soldiers. Though injured, she completed the rescue mission (任务) while under fire on the ground and received the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross for “outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty.”However, Hegar did not get prizes for serving in combat (战斗), for it is illegal for women tobe in official combat(作战) positions and to get the benefits that come with them. Hegar and three other service women filed a lawsuit(诉讼) in federal court in San Fransico on Nov. 27 in a long-overdue challenge to the Pentagon's (五角大楼) ban.Many military women whoconstitute14% of the 1.4 million active members of the military object to the policy because it stops them from applying for some 238,000 jobs and excludes (排除) them from certain promotions. It is particularly unfair because it doesn't protect women in service. Fully 85% of women, who have served since Sept.11, report having served in a combat zone or an area where they were faced with combat or immediate danger according to the lawsuit, and half reported being involved in combat operations. At least 860 female troops have been wounded and 144 killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.The ban does another bad thing: drive talented women out of service. Hegar says she is asked to leave the Air National Guard for a Reserve Liaison position because she is excluded(不包括，排除) from jobs she would like to apply for. Another woman who is suing, Captain Alexandra Zoe Bedell who was sent twice to Afghanistan, left active duty last year, because of the combat exclusion policy.It is hard to see how the Pentagon could meet this burden. Clearly, women are capable of taking challenging, dangerous combat assignment, because as the careers of Hegar and others like her have shown they are doing it now. The Pentagon's policy is based on “outdated idea of women”, just the sort of thing the Constitution forbids.But the Pentagon should not wait for the courts to order it to treat female service members equally. There can be little doubt that a court will eventually do just that and little doubt that, in the very near future, the no-combat rule, like the racial segregation (隔离) of troops and “Don't ask, don’t tell,” will seem like an ancient relic (遗物) of unenlightened (愚昧无知的) times.9．What can we know about Major Mary Jennings Hegar from the first paragraph?A．She failed in the rescue mission.B．Her deeds were awarded by authoritiesC．While taking back the injured soldiers some crew died.D．When she was serving as a captain her aircraft crashed.10．The underlined word “constitute” in the fourth paragraph means_______ .A．take up B．make up C．set up D．build up 11．Many military women objected to the policy mainly because _______ .A．it had an effect on women’s rightsB．it was unfair to protect women in serviceC．it prevented them from some jobs and promotionsD．it was opposed to women’s volunteering for combat12．What does the writer want to tell us in the last two paragraphs?A．Pentagon should stop the ban immediately.B．Pentagon will not obey the court's decision.C．Pentagon should have more women soldiers.D．The public should be patient with the Pentagon.As we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in ad what’s out.13．From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A．lives an unhealthy lifestyleB．lives a rich and happy lifeC．doesn’t get any exerciseD．sets a good example for teenagers14．According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows? A．They are tired of school.B．Their celebrity idols appear in many TV shows.C．They’re in their development period.D．They have nothing to do in their spare time15．What’s the title of the passage?A．Parents’ responsibilities.B．Advice on self-control.C．Bad influences of celebrities.D．Media’s bad influences.二、信息匹配I know that something you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work---your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.16．.The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject that you study.17．Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time your try.That’s okay.18．JK Rowling---- who wrote Harry Potter---her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success ---you can’t let your failures define you.19．You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you are a troublemaker, it means y ou need to try harder to act right.20．A．If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spendmore time studying.B．Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures.C．You have to let your failures teach you.D．You won’t get along well with every teacher that you have.E. So many of you dream of being successful by hard work.F. Failures can lead you to success.G. Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things.三、完形填空阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Like most British children, I learned French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Mary a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me." Yes," I said." I want to give my friend a ring."" Well, that's nice," he said." Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"" Who is talking about marriage?" I replied." I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"" Oh!" he said." There is a phone downstairs."When at last we did meet up, Mary explained the misunderstanding to me." Don't worry," she said to me." I had many difficulties at first.

It is said that if you take care of your body then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like having not enough food, genes and aging(老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises which can protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us to keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.8. is the most important way to protect our eyes.A. Nature eye careB. Taking medicineC. Seeing the doctorD. Being happy all the time9. All the following courses can lead to bad eyesight exceptA.agingB. heightC.readingD. computers10. What should you do if you have to work in front of the computer?A. Eat healthy food.B. Clean the eyes by using cold water.C. While a pile of sunglasses.D. Have a rest after working for a while.11. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Ways of Eye CareB. Ways of Eye ExercisesC. Ways of Being HappyD. Ways of Being HealthyDIf you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of sentences, the meaning of unfamiliar words etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare a notebook for yourself so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skilful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy.

辽宁省沈阳市东北育才学校2020-2021学年高一下学期期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择You might have heard a lot about ancient towns and ancient cities in China. Here, we list several of the most beautiful ancient villages in China.Baoshan Stone City, Yunnan ProvinceBaoshan Stone City was built on a huge mushroom-shaped rock, and only has about one hundred houses. The houses are laid out in an orderly way, built on the rock, and linked by stone steps. The Naxi people there still lead an original life and grow crops in terraces (梯田); you can experience the colorful culture of the Naxi ethnic (民族的) group there.Tuvas Village in Kanas, XinjiangKanas Tuvas Village is near the mysterious Lake Kanas. The small village is located in a valley, and only has about 80 houses. These Swiss-style wooden houses are all surrounded by wooden fences. Tuvas is an ancient minority group.

D．In Xijiang Miao Village.3．What can we infer about the villages mentioned in the text?A．They remained secret to the outside world in the past.B．They were originally built to defend their homeland.C．They are still cut off and difficult to access nowadays.D．They are the ethnic villages with unique architecture.I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers andnot-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!I still miss Illinois sometimes, but l ife in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.4．“Loserville” is a section for ________.A．failures B．good studentsC．class secrets D．newcomers5．The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.A．Ana didn’t text back to her B．her friends hurt her feelingsC．she was unfairly treated D．she was a good student6．What made a difference in changing the situation?A．She went back to Illinois.B．She ended friendship with Ana.C．She fought back with her classmates.D．She began to make friends with others.7．The best title for the passage can be ________.A．Lasting Friendship B．An Incidence at SchoolC．Say Goodbye to “Loserville”D．Unhappiness in “Loserville”Moscow city authorities have begun using comics（漫画）with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants（移民）how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual(手册).Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus（高加索）and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital’s job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally.The new guide in Ru ssian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don’ts" to migrants. They are urged not to cause trouble, by staring at women, or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely（例行公事）stop them to check their documents.In the manual, Russia’s famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city’s law enforcement agencies（执法机关）, while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia’s language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow’s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants couldotherwise be deported(驱逐出境) or banned from entry.The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian."We want to raise their level of law awareness," he added.Migrant characters had initially(最初) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book’s authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin."The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders is being revived," Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers.8．The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by "_____". A．friends B．acquaintancesC．cooperators D．opponents9．People from other countries come to Moscow "_____".A．to find well-paid jobs B．to have a new lifestyleC．to enjoy the fine climate D．to experience a new culture10．The third paragraph is mainly about"_____".A．consequences the migrants may sufferB．the purpose of publishing the handbookC．the measures to attract foreign migrantsD．characters and their functions in Russian fairytales11．Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A．Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in RussiaB．Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobsC．More and more foreign migrants to work in MoscowD．Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behaveIn this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (人均) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. "The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible，”said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Clev eland.Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and innovation(革新) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon V alley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh's educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What's more, high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it'd be wise to find ways to increase the population. 12．In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?A．Transforming old energy into new energy.B．Creating more well-paid jobs.C．Prohibiting the manufacturing.D．Sponsoring higher education.13．How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?A．By helping to attract more talents from other areas.B．By providing much technical support to local companies.C．By hosting tech centers for local educated graduates.D．By assisting in employing a large number of educated youths.14．Why is Patrick Adler mentioned in the last paragraph?A．To show the disadvantage of a declining population.B．To suggest increasing high-paying jobs.C．To raise doubts about growing income per capita.D．To tell a reason why lower-skilled workers flee.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．How Fast Job Growth Is Related to Population GrowthB．How Less-crowded Cities Plan Their High-tech EconomyC．Why Some Cities Are Losing People but Getting WealthierD．Why Some Cities Are Suffering From a Shrinking Population二、七选五Nowadays along with the booming of computer science, computers are widely used here and there. People even can find computers in most classrooms. While teachers remain more or less the same, computers are doubling in speed and capability every four years. 16．As far as I am concerned, teachers still play a major role and are still of great importance.17．However advanced they may be, computers are nothing more than human inventions programmed to perform certain tasks.They are unable to deal with students with different background. Needless to say, a classroom is a place where individual attention and creativity matter most. Therefore, computers are no better than other tools used by teachers and couldn’t possibly make the roles played by them weaker.In terms of accuracy and the amount of information, computers outshine humans. 18．Indeed, a good teacher organizes and inspires the students.Besides, the interaction between students and teachers is vital for the learning. According to most education authorities, real learning occurs during the discussion and sharing of ideas with one’s teacher and classmates. Moreover, a teacher is there to monitor every slight change in students’ attitude, to respond to and encourage them whenever they show signs of frustrat ion and impatience. 19．Despite the increasing presence of computers inside classrooms, teachers are just as essential, if not more so, as instructors were in the past. 20．A．It’s time that teachers should develop themselves.B．Without this kind of interaction, education is unimaginable.C．Advanced as computers may be, some teachers are less impatient.D．But to make a good teacher means far more than being an encyclopedia (百科全书).E.People can’t help wondering whether teachers are as important as they once w ere.F.Some drawbacks make it impossible for computers to replace teachers in classrooms.G.It is well known that computers are better at repetitive work but incapable of creative thinking.三、完形填空You never know how far a kind act can go.You don't know who it can21 ,either.When Gloria Porter and Jeff Reick began 22 ,they had no idea how much it would 23 others to shower(大量给予）people with kindness.89-year-old Gloria Porter was lying in hospital.She couldn't leave her ward.So to 24 boredom,she would often stare outside her window to watch construction workers building the new front entrance to the hospital. She wasn't expecting one of the 25 to wave to her.She couldn't help but wave back at the kind 26 .This was only the start of a special 27 between the two.Jeff Reick knew Porter was 28 ,so he decided to send a kind 29 to her by finding some chalk and writing"Get Well” on one of the beams(梁）facing her 30 “I just thought that was 31 ,"Porter said."So I should do something to 32 that."When Porter saw construction workers working high above the ground one cold,windy day,she grew 33 .She wrote"Stay safe"on a piece of paper,which she then 34 on the window for the workers to see."When I saw 4 Stay safe' on a piece of paper,I 35and said to my coworkers,'Did you see that?""Reick said.If everybody willingly does things like that,the world will be a better place.21．A．disturb B．employ C．affect D．describe 22．A．communicating B．singing C．arguingD．explaining23．A．require B．warn C．force D．encourage 24．A．make for B．put off C．figure out D．escape from 25．A．workers B．nurses C．doctors D．patients 26．A．job B．inspiration C．gesture D．favor 27．A．business B．connection C．difference D．trouble 28．A．lonely B．upset C．ill D．poor 29．A．letter B．message C．note D．warning30．A．window B．entrance C．wall D．door 31．A．impolite B．necessary C．familiar D．precious 32．A．record B．return C．recover D．remember 33．A．puzzled B．worried C．thrilled D．annoyed 34．A．knocked B．installed C．placed D．drew 35．A．came down B．broke down C．showed up D．turned around四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

AThese are the 20 Nicest Places in America, from tiny Hayesville, North Carolina, to the city of Providence, Rhode Island. You really can find kindness all over the U.S.Yassin’s Falafel House in Knoxville, TennesseeYassin Terou, a refugee who came to Knoxville in 2011, is a local celebrity. His falafel house won the Nicest Places in America contest in 2018 because it serves as a welcoming and safe place for people of every color, culture, and religion. Even though not everyone accepts him for who he is, Yassin likes to give everyone a chance because he was given a chance to fulfill the American dream. Read more about Yassin’s Falafel House and why it’s the Nicest Place in America in 2018.Katy, TexasIn 2017, Katy, Texas was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. About 700 homes and 80 businesses were destroyed or damaged in the small town. Without hesitation, local residents and businesses immediately pitched in to help their neighbors recover. Read more about this resilient Texas town. Kalamazoo, MichiganStudent loan debt is an ever-present issue for students looking to further their education, but in Kalamazoo, it’s not an issue. An organization funded by anonymous donors called The Kalamazoo Promise pays for any student that attend Kalamazoo public schools to go to college. Read more about this town’s amazing promise that is keeping hope alive.Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, MarylandEnoch Pratt isn’t your typical library; it’s more of a community services center. In a city with a high crime rate, it offers help to people that got in trouble with the law. Volunteers, including local lawyers, serve hundreds of people every week. This library is writing a new chapter for Baltimore. Read more about this inspiring library.21. Who will most probably come to Yassin’s Falafel House for help?A. Celebrities.B. Criminals.C. Political sufferer.D. Local residents.22. Students in Kalamazoo don’t need to worry about their _____.A. School performanceB. Tuition feesC. Course arrangementD. Future career23. What gives Baltimore a new look?A. High crime rate.B. Voluntary work.C. Enoch Pratt.D. Social welfare system.BMeeting at a church on a Friday night is not usual for most college students, but it is for the members of an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) women’s group in my hometown, which is an organization for alcoholics who want to stop drinking alcohol.AA is based upon a number of principles，including twelve steps and twelve traditions. The traditions state that the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. Members read aloud these steps and traditions, as well as a promise.The AA meeting we attended was a speaker week, which meant that the majority of the time was spent listening to a particular member talk about her journey with alcohol. The speaker recounted her story with addiction. The group processed the story in a positive way. I noticed several times when members laughed, smiled, and made brief supporting comments while she spoke. Later, a member shared with me that “this is the kind of place where you can talk about things, and everyone just laughs...no judgment but support.” Being able to talk about her emotions and experiences, receiving support, and the lack of judgment was a large part of her decision to keep coming to meetings.Years later, I look back on the meeting with fond memories. It changed the way I looked at addiction. It was no longer an evil faceless monster. I think it’s essential to have support when you’re struggling with addiction, as with any lifestyle change. AA is a prime example of how groups follow a program and commit (致力于) to changing their habits.And it doesn’t hurt that sometimes after the meeting, everyone has a piece of cake.24. The main purpose of AA women’s group is to _____.A. gather on Friday nightsB. stay away from alcoholC. start an autonomous groupD. promote twelve traditions25. For some, the highlight of the meeting is to _____.A. make commentsB. exchange ideasC, meet new friends D. have emotional connection26. What does the author think of the meeting?A. Meaningful.B. Doubtful.C. Rootless.D. Worthless.27. By attending the meeting, you can _____.A. drink some coffeeB. play a gameC. make a mealD. share some foodCStage lighting is too-often an underappreciated art for theatergoers. Not only does light illuminate (照亮) the action you’re watching, it also directly affects the emotion and subtext of a scene. Would Romeo and Juliet be as swoon-worthy without just the right wash of romantic colors?In short, stage lighting isn’t just illumination. It is design, art, emotion, and subtext. It’s a beautiful entrance into the world of stagecraft and design.We’re used to a world of smart computers, color gels, and all sorts of electronic awesomeness, but the early days of stage performance in human history? Not so lucky. They had to use candles, flashlights, flames, and simple lighting effects to illuminate and shade the action being played out on stage.In the early days of Greek theatre, for instance, most plays were staged in daylight, to simplify production and to take the fullest advantage of the sunshine.But by Shakespeare’s time, even though many productions were still taking advantage of natural light through afternoon stagings (上演), stage lighting nevertheless included everything from the candles behind the footlights to the use of torches, candles, and basic coverings to allow for more control of the lighting from scene to scene.However, today’s stage lighting tools are a heady combination of technology and creativity and truly allow designers to let their imaginations take flight. Requiring their own vocabulary of sorts, the tools of today’s lighting designers are high-tech marvels that are a far cry from the original candles and torches of old, but all accomplish the same goal — beautiful illumination for the action onstage. In the performing arts, light itself is a part of the performance, and the work of the light board operator can often feel very much like a dance of sorts.28.

The future of stage lighting,DGarbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.Beijing has thus been expected to follow suit. The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they’re responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation. “Taking out the trash without sortingit properly will be illegal,” said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan for trash-sorting violations （违背）. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types---recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others --- and leave it in a corresponding （相应的）dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins indicate items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported.32.
