Reading Comprehension(60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A ,B ,C andD. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle thatconsists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platformto the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip (扭转把手) on theleft handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope (陀螺仪) detects yourmovements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has a《英语》第3页共10页maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it inand recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoywalks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as analternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take thedog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers tomove quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming acommon sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism,particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outsidea cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of touristspassing on Segways.() 36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.() 37. How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A. Press the left barB. Adjust the twist gripC. Lean to the leftD.Control the gyroscope() 38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A. Less than 19 kmB. About 19 kmC. More than 38 kmD. About 38 km() 39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A. When a Segway is usefulB. Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. What a Segway is likePassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all.You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or fromthe traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazingThese types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals — and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snowslide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力 ) and endurance.《英语》第4页共10页A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during"down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty.Trainingis not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working threeto four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance,includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent ( 气味 ) andthen follow t he scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped undercollapsed buildings and snow slide.() 40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are braveB. they are loyalC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight() 41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.

Sound effects are of three kinds: real, imitated and recorded .Real sounds are those of doorbells, telephone bells, and other small objectseasy to keep in a studio . But the sound man must imitate many sounds . For baconfryin9 ,he crumples cellophanepaper.A long sheet of metal hanging in a doorway makes thunder?He taps one rubbersink plunger and then another on a table to imitate a horse walking on pavement . For a horse galloping along a gravel road ,the sound man can use thetwo halves of a coconut,pounding each in turn very fast on the table.Recorded sound effects are used for noises he cannot himself produce offstage .He pays records for such sounds as a rooster crowing , a train leaving a station , and a baby crying .The sound man is an important part of any television production .( )44.

They say it is for women to be paid less than menfor the same work. People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men ) have ananswer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women ; a marriedman is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the importantdecision ,and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some peoplewho hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working atall. When wives go out to work , they say, the home and children are given noattention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job , theywill be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home andbringing up children. They will have to giveup their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want toescapefrom the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between ajob and home life , or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equalopportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying ,“ Al menare created equal. ”They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “ allhuman being arecreated equal. ”( )48.

The word college is used to refer to either a college or auniversity. Theseinstitutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) orBachelor Science(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-yearprogram) for oneto two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore ( 二年级生 ) or junior ( 三年级生 ). It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schoolsrequir e strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well asspecificcollege prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges andfamous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, byearning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degreesin grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require suchadvanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Somehave full-timejobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years tocomplete a four-yearprogram because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student ’ s time, moststill enjsocial activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gatheringtogether for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university isprobably the most popularactivity.( )53.

"As soon as the word ‘willing' was used,people would say:‘Oh,yes,definitely'﹣they would actually (8)the sentence to agree." Stoke found it had the same effect in different settings:with business﹣to﹣business cold callers;with doctors trying to (9)people to go to a weight﹣loss class.She also looked at phrases such as "Would you like to" and "Would you be interested in"."Sometimes they (10),but ‘willing' was the one that got people to agree more rapidly and with more enthusiasm.""'Hello' is a really important word that can change the (11)of a conversation," Stoke says."It's about how you respond to people who are what we call ‘first movers' ﹣people who say something really (12)," "It might be the work colleagues who areextremely angry to your desk with a complaint or the neighbor who (13)rude words about parking as you're putting out the bins."

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.4.(8分)Last summer,bird﹣watchers confirmed the discovery of a new species of bird in Cambodia was not an event of particular biological significance,but it was striking for one reason in part.This species of bird was discovered not in an unspoiled rain forest but withinthe limits Cambodia's capital,Phnom Penh ﹣a city the size of Philadelphia.What the researchers found was surprising in cities.The medium﹣sized city in the state about 110 species of birds,over 95 percent of which would have been growing there urbanization.Ecologically speaking,cities are different,concrete buildings.Rather,each unique bio﹣profile ﹣a kind of ecological fingerprint ﹣that is against the idea of an environment dead zone.Of course,it's also true that in the world of birds and plants,as in human society,there is such a thing as worldwide﹣the city﹣inhabitants who feel equally at home in San Francisco,Milan and Beijing.Four birds occur in more than 80 percent of the cities studied,and 11 plants occurred in more than 90 percent of the cities.On the plant side,those are seemingly spread by European settlement.In the air,it's the usual suspects:the rock pigeon and many other birds."They have become completely adapted to urban life,"Katti says."That's not much of surprise.But they don't actually dominate as much as we think they do."Those species﹣occurring in the cities across the globe﹣represent only a small part of a city's natural varieties.Not all cities are equal protectors of native animals and plants,though.One of the biggest predictors for a city's biodiversity is its urban design.Territory as varied as backyards and street trees can lay important roles in greening a city.In fact,the amouht of green space is a stronger predictor of the density of biodiversity than a city's size.A metropolis with a sizable network of parks can contain more species per square mile than a much smaller city.In a world where architecture,food,language,fashion and commerce are increasingly globalized,a city's native animals and plants can be a kind of identity.There may be neighborhoods in London and Paris that resemble Singapore or Hong Kong.Cities are becoming similar,but their natural environments stand completely apart.(1)According to the passage,what do you think of Phnom Penh,Cambodia's capital?A.It is full of various rare plants and animals.B.Its birds' population is larger than that of San Francisco.C.It's as big as Philadelphia in terms of area.D.It is on an equal footing with Beijing and Milan.(2)Which of the following statements is NOT the same as the author's idea?A.From a biological point new changes happen every day.B.From an environmental point the daily changes aren't obvious enough.C.Each city has different characteristics in terms of ecological development.D.Different species of creatures are born in different cities.(3)Some plants are found in many cities in the world,which seems to be a result of.A.natural selectionB.globalizationC.urban developmentD.colonization(4)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.What Surprising Cities! The Medium﹣sized City Has Various Species of Birds!B.The Power of Plants and Animals! The Charm of All the Cities!C.The Cities Are Concrete Jungles! Never Think about Them the Same Way Again!D.More Species Per Square Mile! The Amount of Green Space Is a Stronger Predictor! 5.(6分)Please Choose Cloud Servicesmay be unsure,or you do not know where to begin.Trying every Cloud service would take a lot of time and work.But,the website Reviews.com might help.One valuable feature is the protection of digital files,including photos,videos,documents,music and more.If the worst happens and your computer crashes,or gets lost or damaged,your files can still found in the Cloud.Cloud services let you access your files from almost anywhere.No need to worry about a on your computer when you are away from your desk.If you have an Internet connection,you can open your files from any computer,or from a phone,when they are stored using a Cloud service.Using a Cloud service makes sharing files easier.If you send documents to a group using emails,you may then wonder which version everyone is working with.When sharing files using a Cloud service,everyone will see the same document and the latest version.The first thing to consider is the amount of storage space you need.Check how much space you are currently using on your computer and mobile devices.If your computer or phone is filled with photos and you have little free space,you may want to move your photos to the Cloud.Some Cloud services are free.But,if you need a lot of space,you will probably need one that costs money.Even if everyone you have ever met is a Windows user,you still probably want a Cloud service that works with many platforms.You might become friends with an Android user or start a job with a company that computers on Apple!(1)Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Google﹣Drive users can obtain 100GB for free.B.Most Cloud services can send files to both the Cloud and the local computer.C.It's hard to transfer your you turn on the computer if it is stored in the Cloud.D.Never worry about finding your files in the Clouds if the computer system crashes.(2)What will you have to do if you need more space to store more files in the Cloud?A.To use your own Cloud services.B.To share Cloud space with others.C.To spend money buying space.D.To buy the latest version of the service.(3)How can consumers find the Cloud service that suits them best?A.By learning more information about the space occupied by files.B.By comparing Cloud's function,storage,available space and prices.C.By sending files to a group of people via e﹣mail inquiring about the Cloud service.D.By making friends with Android users who use Apple computers.6.(8分)Is Paperless Office Really Paperless?A rising economy increased paper sales by 6 yo 7 percent each year in the early to mid﹣1990s,and the convenience of desktop printing allowed office workers to indulge anythingand everything.In 2004,Ms Dunn,a communications supplies director,said that plain white office paper would see less than a 4percent growth rate,a primary reason for which is that some 47 percent of the workforce entered the job market after computers had already been introduced to offices.For office innovators,the dream of paperless office is an example of high﹣tech arrogance(傲慢).Today's office service is overwhelmed By more newspapers than ever before.After decades of development,the American government can finally get rid of the madness on paper.In the past,the demand for paper has been far ahead of growth in the American economy,but the sales have slowed markedly over the past two to three years,despite the good economic conditions."Old habits are hard to break,"says Ms.Dunn."There are some functions that paper serves where a screen display doesn't work.Those funcitons are both its strength and its weakness."Analysts attribute the decline to such factors as advances in digital databases and communication systems.Escaping our craving for paper,however,will be anything but an easy affair."We're finally seeing a reduction in the amount of paper being used per worker in the workplace,"says John Maine,vice president of a paper economic consulting firm."More information is being transmitted electronically,and an increasing number of people are satisfied that information exists only in electronic form without printing multiple backups."To reduce paper use,some companies are working to combine digital and paper capabilities.For example,Xerox is developing electronic paper:thin digital displays that respond to a stylus,like a pen on paper.Marks can be erased or saved digitally.Even with such technological advances,the increasing amounts of electronic data necessarily require more paper."The information industry today is composed of a thin paper crust surrounding an electronic core,"Mr.Saffo wrote.The growing paper crust is most noticeable,but the hidden electronic core is far larger and growing more rapidly.The result is that we are becoming paperless,but we hardly notice at all."That's one of the greatest ironies of the information age,"Saffo says."It's just common sense that the more you talk to someone by phone or computer,it inevitably leads to a face﹣to﹣face meeting.The best thing for theaviation industry was the Internet."(1)Which of the following statements is NOT a reason for the slowdown in American paper sales?A.Workforce with better computer skills.B.Slow growth of the U.S.economy.C.Changing patterns in paper use.D.Changing employment trends.(2)What does the last sentence in Para 3 mean?A.We have to look at paper consumption from different angles.B.There is little chance that paper consumption will fall in the digital age.C.Paper consumption will be greatly reduced in the digital age.D.People are no longer so addicted to paper in the digital age.(3)The innovations from Xerox and other companies feature.A.the intergration of digital technology with traditional paperB.the chance from traditional paper to digital technologyC.the combination of the use of computer screens and cell phonesD.a new type of computer writing and communciation(4)What can we draw from the example of the aviation industry in the last paragraph?A.The dream of the paperless office will be realized some day.B.People usually prefer to have face﹣to﹣face meetings instead of using computers.C.More digital data use leads to greater paper use in the digital time.D.Some people are no longer opposed to video﹣conferencing.Section C Directions:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.7.(8分)A.There are five reason for the accident and you are guilty.B.Every year thousands of people are horribly killed,and we sit still and let it happen.C.Surprisingly,society should smile at the driver and forgive him.D.Someone has rightly said that when a person is sitting behind the steering wheel,his car becomes an extension of his personality.E.All advertisements that emphasize power and performance should be banned.F.It is time to develop a universal norm to reduce this senseless waste of human life.Traffic Regulation and Accident PreventionWe live in a remarkable time,and many of the once fatal diseases can now be cured with modern medicine and surgery.It is almost certain that one day a cure will be found for the rest of the diseases.Expectations of life have greatly increased.But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before,every day we witness the incredible killing of men,women and children on the roads.Man fights against the motor﹣car.It isa never﹣ending battle which man is losing.(1)Nothing can seriously increase your risk of potentially fatal car accidents other than speeding and failing to pay due attention to weather conditions.(2)There is no doubt that the motor﹣car often brings out a man's very worst qualities.Usually quiet and pleasant people,when they are behind the steering wheel,will become unrecognizable.They are impolite,aggressive,self﹣willed like two﹣year﹣old,completely selfish.All their hidden frustrations,disappointments,and jealousy seem to be caused by driving.(3)It's all for his own convenience.Due to a serious tragedy,the city is almost uninhabitable and the huge parking lot makes the town ugly.The destruction of rural areas and the annual mass killings are just a statistic,easily forgotten.With regard to driving,the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough.Traffic rules are for everyone to follow under any circumstances,and no one can make an exception unless you make a joke of your own life.Universally accepted standards can only have a significant beneficial on the incidence of accidents.Governments should develop safety codes for manufacturers.(4)These measures may sound cruel.However,if these measures result in a reduction in the loss of life every year,they should certainly not be considered serious.After all,the world belongs to humans,not cars.Ⅳ. Summary Writing.8.(10分)Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point (s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.All Must Have DegreesIn a classroom in Seoul a group of teenagers sit over their desks in total silence.Study begins at eight in the morning and ends at half past four in the afternoon.And some even go back home at midnight.Like thousands of South Koreans,they are preparing for the important exam,which will largely determine whether they go to a good university or not.Degrees have become useful.Seventy percent of students who graduate from the country's secondary schools now go straight to universities.Many more countries have seen a big rise in the share of young people with degrees,but South Korea is an extreme case.As technological reforms require workers to do many difficult and demanding jobs that they would not have done before,there seems to be reasonable to insist that more workers receive a good education than before.And a degree is an obvious way for bright youngsters From poor families to prove their abilities.People tend to earn more if they have degrees.Employers do not have to pay for higher education and they are increasingly able to demand degrees to screen out the least motivated or capable.A recent study by Joseph Fuller and Manjari Romaan of Harvard Business School shows that companies routinely require applicants to have degrees,even though only a minority of those already working in the role have them.The Economist's analysis found that between 1970 and 2015,the proportion of 256 workers aged 25﹣64 with at least a bachelor's degree increased.Some of them are highly intellectually demanding jobs,such as aviation engineers.Others are non﹣graduate jobs such as waiting tables.Sixteen percent of waiters now have degrees,because probably in most cases they could not find jobs and live poorly.Today,having a degree is usually an entry requirement.Ⅴ. Translation.Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.9.(3分)晚上别喝太多的咖啡,会睡不着觉的.(or)10.(4分)事实证明,保持快乐的心态会降低得心脏病的风险.(It)11.(4分)乐观的人不会过分怀念美好的旧时光,因为他们正忙着创造新的回忆.(create)12.(4分)追求稳定并不是什么坏事,很多时候这样的态度在促使我们提升自我、挑战难度、攀登高峰.(when)Ⅵ.

Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try aSegway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle that consists of a platformbetween two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it, you stepup onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster,and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. Thisvaries the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn theSegway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has amaximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it inand recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to thegolf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of tourists passing on Segways.()36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.()37. How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A. Press the left barB. Adjust the twist gripC. Lean to the leftD.Control the gyroscope()38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A. Less than 19 kmB. About 19 kmC. More than 38 kmD. About 38 km()39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A. When a Segway is usefulB. Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. What a Segway is likePassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Trainingis not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working threeto four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.()40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__A. they are braveB. they are loyalC. they have amazing appearancesD. they have good eyesight()41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Courageous.B. Slow.C. Energetic.D. Cowardly.()42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A. Extraordinary smelling.B. Swift movement.C. Sharp hearing.D. A strong memory.()43. What is the passage mainly about?A. Selection process of rescue dogs.B. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.C. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.Passage ThreeDuring a television play the sound man must be ready to make every sound as it is needed.Sound effects are of three kinds:real,imitated and recorded.Real sounds are those of doorbells,telephone bells,and other small objects easy to keep in a studio.But the sound man must imitate many sounds.For bacon fryin9,he crumples cellophane paper.A long sheet of metal hanging in a doorway makes thunder?He taps one rubber sink plunger and then another on a table to imitate a horse walking on pavement.For a horse galloping along a gravel road,the sound man can use the two halves of a coconut,pounding each in turn very fast on the table.Recorded sound effects are used for noises he cannot himself produce offstage.He pays records for such sounds as a rooster crowing, a train leaving a station,and a baby crying.The sound man is an important part of any television production.( )44. The sound man is important because he________?A. makes fl TV play more lifelikeB. is kept busyC. 1ets an actor know when to life a telephone receiverD. is always learning new methods( )45.

Recorded sound effects are used for a_______?A. train leaving a stationB. baby cryingC. rooster crowingD. all of the abovePassage FourEqual pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that are lookeddown upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work.People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men)have an answer to this. They say that menhave more responsibility than women;a married man is expected to earn money to support hisfamily and to make the important decision,and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. Thereare some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women workingat all. When wives go out to work,they say,the home and children are given no attention to. Ifwomen are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job,they will be unable to do the things.Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to giveup their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want to escapefrom the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between ajob and home life,or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equalopportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying,“Al l men They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “all h uman being are are created equal.” created equal.”demand that _____.( )48. The women use the phrase “equal pay for equal work” toA. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men'sB. men should be paid less than womenC. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same workD. people doing harder work should earn more( )49.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up?A. Their jobB. Their home lifeC. Their present position in societyD. Their right to pay( )50.People who disagree with women's opinions believe _____.A. men's responsibilities are different from women'sB. men can earn money more easily than womenC. women can't do what men canD. men have to work much harder than womenthat ___.( )51. The women use the saying “all men created equal” to showA. the position of women has changed a little in modern timeB. men and women had equal power in early American societyC. men's right are always considered more important than women'sD. in American society men and women should in modern time( )52.The women who disagree say that _______.A. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life the liveB. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homesC. if women are given equal pay,their opportunities will be greatD. women need opportunities to go out of the house more oftenPassage FiveAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution ofhigher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. Theseinstitutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for oneto two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schoolsrequire strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specificcollege prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges andfamous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, byearning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degreesin grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require suchadvanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-timejobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-yearprogram because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjo social activities.

2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟英语试卷(信息卷(四))-学生用卷一、阅读理解(共10小题,每小题2.5分,共25分)1、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟(A篇)第21~24题10分(每题2.5分)For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad out comes—it is also about developing good ones. Several studies have looked at the long—term effects eating with families has on children. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong TAL#NBSP correlation.About three years ago, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD)looked at data from nearly three quarters of the world's countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to be badly-behaved. That is a finding of a study by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse(CASA)at Columbia University in New York. In the CASA report, titled"The Importance of Family Dinners Ⅷ, researchers say, "Teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what's really going on in their lives…" They also claim that when tens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to behave badly.Another study from the University of Mont real found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugar soft drinks. They also seemed to have better social skills.One researcher, Linda Pagani says that there is "a handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and child and adolescent health". Pagani says that meal times shared with parents " likely provide young children with first hand social interaction, discussions of social affairs and day-to-day concerns". She adds that they may likely help the children have better communication skills with others.(1) What does the underlined word " TAL#NBSP correlation" mean?A. effectB. causeC. outcomeD. tie(2) In which aspect can eating together influence children according to the OECD?A. Academic performance.B. Physical health.C. Mental health.D. Social skills.(3) How do children benefit from eating family meals together according to Pagani?A. By having healthy food and drinks.B. By forming good eating habits.C. By becoming more social.D. By understanding their parents' life.(4) What is mainly talked about in the passage?A. Easy tips on eating family meals.B. Benefits of family dinners to children.C. Links between eating together and child health.D. Findings of studies about enjoying family dinners.2、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟(B篇)第25~27题7.5分(每题2.5分)People in Mayilattumpara, a village in southwest India, could not sleep at night. Because of habitat (栖息地)loss, wild elephants would enter their village for food, destroying crops and farmland. The villagers tried to keep the wild elephants out with electric fenced, deep holes and plants believed to keep the animals away. They even tried beating drums. Nothing worked! The repeated destruction of crops led some villagers to stop farming.The villagers' lot improved last year. That is because villagers have found what keeps the elephants away: honey bees. Elephants, it turns out, are afraid of bees making loud sounds and their stings(蜇刺).A wire fence holding beehives(蜂房)now runs along the border of the village. When elephants try to pass the 2.5-kilometer wire fence, angry bees fly out in groups and the elephants quickly flee, people in the village say. Protected by the bees, farmers have returned to growing their crops. Some even started to raise honey bees.The idea started in Africa. V. S. Roy worked for the federal government's Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA). He said the idea for the fence came from the work of an Oxford University researcher, Lucy King. In 2008, King successfully tested whether honey bees would keep elephants away from areas in Kenya. Researchers in Tanzania had the same success. Roy wondered, "If itcould(work)in the African forest, why couldn't it in the Kerala forest? " So, he worked with the farmers' association in Mayilattumpara to start the experiment.The results of this experiment have encouraged farmers from other areas to try similar projects. The government also has been working to settle conflict between humans and elephants by reducing deforestation and improving the elephants' natural habitat.(1) What does the author mean by saying "The villagers' lot improved last year"?A. Elephants' living conditions got better.B. The villagers began to raise honey bees.C. The villagers were spared from crop destruction.D. There was no need for elephants to destroy crops.(2) Where was the idea of keeping elephants away first tested?A. In Kenya.B. In Kerala.C. In Tanzania.D. In Mayilattumpara.(3) What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Some farmers try doing research.B. The government has settled the conflict.C. Villagers are partly to blame for crop destruction.D. Climates led to the loss of elephants' natural habitat.3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟(C篇)第28~30题7.5分(每题2.5分)Computers are increasingly competing against humans to see whether man or the machine is more intelligent. In the latest show of artificial intelligence or AI, a computer went up against humans in live, public debates. The de bates—held in San Francisco—provided a new example of how computers are fast improving to think and sound more like humans.An AI system developed by major technology company IBM participated in the event. It is called Project Debater. IBM said it is the first time ever that an AI system has competed in a live, public debate with humans. Two separate debates were held between a computer and two human debaters.The company preselected possible subjects for discussion, but said neither the computer nor the humans knew the chosen subject before the debate. The discussions were set up in a similar way to most political debates. After preparing arguments, both sides got the chance to present a four-minute opening statement. Then came four- minute rebuttals(反驳), followed by closing statements.In one debate, IBM's computer battled Noa Ovadia, a former national debate champion. The AI system made a case in favor of the government subsidizing(补贴)space research. It pulled in evidence from its huge supply of information from newspapers, journals and other source. Ovadia took the opposite position, arguing that the government could better serve the people by providing financial assistance to programs other than space exploration.Following closing statements from both sides, reporters and other attendees gave their opinions on the results. IBM reported that a majority of those who watched the debate said they believed Project Debater had improved their knowledge of the subject more than the human debater. On the other hand, the human debater got praise for better communicating her ideas.(1) Why was the debate between man and the computer held?A. To introduce a new product of IBMB. To stress the latest development of computers.C. To show whether man or the computer is smarter.D. To discover public views about space research.(2) What's the audience's view about the debate?A. Each side has its own advantaged.B. Neither side has performed well.C. The computer has better communication skills.D. Ovadia has beaten the computer.(3) What might be talked about next?A. disadvantaged of the debaters.B. Something about the second debate.C. More views about the debates.D. Lessons learned from the debates.二、七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三下学期高考模拟第31~35题10分(每题2分)2018~2019学年河南南阳高二下学期期中第36~40题10分A House warming PartyA house warming party is special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person or people who bought the apartment or house or moved are the ones who throw the party.1It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like. It is an opportunity to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.2Some common items(物品)people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and items like curtains. Even if there isn't a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like, a piece of art or a plant.3This is often appreciated since at a housewarming party there isn't a lot of food served, usually just appetizers or sandwiches.4The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into a new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. This isn't usual though.Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift so that the person could keep the home warm for thewinter.5A. You can also bring food or drinks to share.B. Different activities are held to make guests satisfied.C. There are usually no planned activities at a housewarming party.D.

2019届高考英语冲刺模拟练习试卷及答案

2019届高考英语冲刺模拟练习试卷及答案

2019届高考英语全真模拟密卷及答案(名师押题预测+实战训练,建议下载练习)1、Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.1.Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A.Optimistic.B.Productive.C.Generous.D.Traditional.2.What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A.One of his masterworks.B.A successful screen adaptation.C.An artistic creation for the stage.D.One of the beat TV programmes.3.How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A.By popularity.B.By importance.C.By size and shape.D.By time and subject.4.What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Artworks.B.Projects.C.Donations.D.Documents.2、Do you love animals? Have you ever considered adopting a pet? “Yes,” you might reply. “But keeping a pet in the house is a big thing. There are lots of responsibilities to take,” you might add. It is true. Pet ownership means adoption fees, bills, food, toys, cleanup, and who knows what else. It's not something to take lightly. But the right pet can actually mean great things for you. Taking care of an animal can teach you how to be responsible and aware of the needs of others. The bond with a pet can provide immeasurable fulfillment for you. But how to pick the right pet? Don't worry!Small BirdsSmall birds can make a good introduction to the world of pet care. Canaries (金丝雀), for example, don't require a lot of one-on-one time, and a pair of them will happily keep one another entertained. All birds require regular cage cleaning, flesh food and water, along with a cage roomy enough for a bit of flying and some toys for amusement. Small birds don't like sudden movements or unexpected noises, so they're best cared for by older and calmer people.Betta Fish (斗鱼)Betta fish are happiest in smaller bowls. Bettas are beautiful fish, often jewel-toned, with long flowing fins (鳍). The bowl will need regular cleaning and water changes. You can have fun decorating the bowl with sand, plants and so on.Smaller SnakesDon't be frightened! Snakes are often misunderstood. Stay away from the larger ones, and of course, poisonous snakes, and you'll find that snakes can actually be pretty cool pets. The most popular variety is the corn snake, which is non-poisonous and will only grow to about 4 or 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 meters) in length. If you adopt a young corn snake, it'll become used to you very quickly, happily being with you for warmth.1.In Paragraph 1 the author intends to tell us ________.A.what pet owners worry aboutB.the ways of picking the right petC.what a pet can provide for its ownerD.the responsibilities and benefits of keeping a pet2.What does the underlined word “roomy” in Paragraph 2 mean?rge.B.Bright.C.Crowded.D.High.3.The author advises us to adopt the corn snake because it ________.A.is a pretty cool pet often misunderstoodB.is smaller and non-poisonousC.will become used to us very quicklyD.will be happy with us for warmth3、A Competitive SportCheerleadingOver th e years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’ main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. It’s a very common thing for gymnasts, so it’s easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform li fts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.1.What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?A.To compare skills of participants.B.To make the audience feel amused.C.To attract more people to watch events.D.To cheer up the competitors on the court.2.The underl ined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.A.examinebineC.identifyD.replace3.We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.cks necessary guidelines to followB.enjoys greater popularity than other sportsC.requires more designed actions than gymnasticsD.has a relatively high rate of damage to the body4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA.B.C.D.4、I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start–there's a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say, “Well,I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there. ” My confidence dived. Believing my nov el could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent (代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and,to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal–that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck–of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract (合同) of the publisher–to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding (有回报的) .1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A.I was waiting for good fortuneB.I was trying to find an admirable jobC.I was being aimless about a suitable jobD.I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time2.The author decided to write a novel .A.to finish the writing courseB.to realize her own dreamC.to satisfy readers’ wishD.to earn more money3.How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A.DisturbedB.AshamedC.ConfidentD.Uncertain4.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A.It pays to stick to one’s goalB.Hard work can lead to successC.She feels like being unexpectedly luckyD.There is no end in sight when starting to do something5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入横线处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选。

After all, to run a marathon, you have at run 26.2 miles by foot! Think about it this way: 26. 2 miles is the same as running the length of a football field more than460 times. It takes most people four or five hours to finish.By the age of 30, Lea Tambellini had run more than five marathons and had no plans to stop. She had always been an athlete. When she was in high school, she swam on her school's swim team and ran to stay healthy and active. Her mom and dad ran marathons, and when she was 22, they helped her train for her first marathon.Lea's first marathon took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was called "The Flying Pig". "I was very nervous" she said, "but I had my mom there, so that helped. "Running the race was hard, but the hardest part was when she ran past a cookie factory and smelled cookies at mile 18."I just wanted to be done, "she said. "TAL#NBSP I was spent, but my mom kept me going. It was already her 15th marathon."Today, thousands of people run marathons every year. Runners train for months to get ready. 'To prepare for one of the marathons, Lea ran four to five times every week. On weekdays, she completed shorter runs, five or six miles at most. But on the weekends she ran long distances-13 miles, 15 miles, and 20 miles!"I don't mind training because I get excited about working toward something. And I love running with a group of friends and working toward the goal together. But it does take a lot of time."Running a marathon is a great achievement. "It's a great feeling of accomplishment and nothing feels as wonderful as reaching my goal when I cross the finish line, " Lea explained."I can't wait for the next one!"(1) What contributed to Lea becoming a marathon runner?A.

Some kids in our society have almost no time left to themselves, often because their parents are overscheduled themselves, or their parents are so concerned about kids' achievements that the kids are constantly doing some structured activities. Some parents want their kids to constantly be working on their personal portfolios(文件包) so they can get into college, prep school or preschool. But if kids don't have any down time, they'll burn out quickly.You'd be amazed at how much kids mature, learn and improve when they are given time to just be. Kids need to learn what it is like to be bored and how to entertain themselves. They need time to play with all of those presents they just got from the holiday. They need to make mistakes on their own, discover new ways to do things and nurture their interests and talents. This is called learning.In our house, eating, sleeping mostly), and a few chores and schoolwork are fairly structured. There are occasional errands and playdates, appointments and scout meetings. But most days, our kids have several hours in which they choose what to do. We guide them toward positive ways to spend time, but for the most part, they get to choose. I think this is a healthy thing.I won't go so far as to say that parents who overschedule their kids are stealing their kids' childhoods. I'm sure those kids are getting to do some great things that not every other kid gets to do. But the kids are missing out on a vital piece of childhood: running amok (横冲直撞), not necessarily running all over town on their own, but having time that is theirs, that they get to organize and fill. Kids need to learn how to make choices and learn about the bad and good consequences that come along with their choices.(1) Why are the kids constantly doing some structured activities?A. They like structured activities very much.B. Their parents expect them to achieve more.C. Their parents are worried about their safety.D. Structured activities suit children's interests.(2) Which of the following sayings can convey the closest meaning of the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?A. No pains, no gains.B. Look before you leap.C. Honesty is the best policy.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(3) In the writer's opinion, the kids.A. should be guided to learnB. should do some great thingsC. should have time that is theirsD. should be allowed to run all over town(4) The main purpose of the passage is to.A. concern the healthy growth of kidsB. provide evidence of how kids liveC. criticize parents on unwise parentingD. give a lecture on kids' time management3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟(C篇)第28~30题7.5分Do we organize our thoughts in different ways because of the culture we belong to? If it is so, how can we describe those differences?The idea of different "cultural thought patterns" was first put forward by an American professor, Robert Kaplan, in the 1960s. He had been looking at the writing style of non-native students at his university in California. He found that the writing style changed systematically, according to the cultural origins of the students.For example, in his opinion, native speakers of English usually went "straight to the point" However, speakers of Semitic languages(such as Arabic and He brew)kept back tracking, and then returned to the point. Speakers of oriental languages (such as Chinese)were likely to approach the topic only little by little, as if they were moving around it in circled. Speakers of Romance languages(such as French and Spanish)were likely to stay away from the point, making it harder for readers to follow. Speakers of slap languages(such as Russian)often included ideas which didn't seem to be connected in any way to the development of the article.This view attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was expressed. People said it was not based on enough evidence at all, and it was TAL#NBSP biased because it was in supports English(which seemed to offer the "most useful" way of presenting the point of view). Russian students, in particular, did not agree with the idea Kaplan had of them.But Kaplan's work at least reminded us that people from different cultural backgrounds do have different ways of presenting ideas, or telling stories, and that, even if these differences are difficult, and perhaps impossible to sort out, just knowing that they exist can help us to understand and appreciate each other better.(1) What is the author' s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?A. To present his own idea.B. To introduce Robert Kaplan.C. To draw readers to the topic.D. To provide examples of the topic.(2) What does the underlined word "biased" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Wrong.B. Usual.C. Direct.D. Humorous.(3) Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Thinking across culturesB. Skills for speaking wellC. Reading between linesD. Differences in cultures.二、七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟第31~35题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。

When the secret starting date is unknown, secret or subject to change, D day is the reference point which helps planners arrange every step of a campaign. For example, the day before D day is D-1; the day after: D+1, D+2 and so on.The letter D here stands for Day, so D day actually means Day day. More monly the term has a military usage. In fact, it came into being during the First World War, but it was during the Second that D day got its mon usage.The beginning of the end of the Second World War was the allied landing of Europe, and D day was its starting date. After months of careful planning, the exact day was fixed for June5,1994. Because of impossible weather conditions, at the minute the landing was put off until the following day.71.

He drove a white Ford car. Who was he ? The police found "Harvey Lowmeyer's "gun and "John Willard's "shirt, and then the white car. It was "Eric Starvo Galt's"car. So what was this man's real name? The marks on the shirt and the car sent the F. B. I. to Los Angeles. 300 detectives questioned people. At last one found a photograph of "Galt". Then detectives in Atlanta found a fingerprint. It was on a map in "Galt's"room in a small hotel. One fingerprint was enough.James Earl Ray's fingerprint was already on the F. B. I. cards. The police watched railway stations, hotels and airports. 3000 detectives were trying to find Ray---without success.The Canadian police were helping, too. They looked at 240,000 photographs in their Passport Office. Then they found one of "Ramon George Sneyd". "We gave this man a passport last month,"they said. "He went to London on 2nd May. "The man was wearing thick glasses, but he looked like Ray. Then on 8th June, a detective at London Airport saw Sneyd's name on a passenger list.It was the end of the biggest manhunt in history. The F. B. I. spent 1.4 million dollars, but they got their man.78. The key of settling the case was probably the murderer's _______.(A) car (B) fingerprint (C) gun (D) shirt79.

Which was the murderer's real name ?(A) Ramon George Sneyd. (B) James Earl Ray(C) Eric Starvo Galt (D) John WillardDHow can we get rid of garbage() ? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source.For a long time people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now empty land is scarce. However, more and more garbage is produced each year, but garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas: but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels(). As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily, such as food scraps and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)My guide Farah, a tall, slim woman in her late 30s,wears jeans and a simple manteaux -- the required robe women must wear in public, covering neck to knee. Her long, straight black hair is hidden beneath her headscarf, but visible as it curls at her neck.We’re heading to Tajrish Bazaar, in north Tehran (capital of Iran),to explore 10 different kinds of dried plums, and other goodies. We choose the Metro—Farah for its convenience, and I,for a chance to go underground in Tehran, because it provides a picture of the city most tourists never see.It's mid-morning. Women and men sit separately, but the rule relaxes during busy times, like now. We, along with a few other women, clasp our hands around a pole, standing next to men, young and old in the air-conditioned, modern carriage. Two stops later, and about 20 commuters fewer, segregation happens naturally -- women at one end, men at the other, still within view, but separate.A handful of fashionable girls admire their own reflections in the window. They wear tight leggings under their brightly coloured robes, pushing back headscarves and boundaries. We find seats next to a group of conservative women dressed in black cloaks called chador. They’re nothing like t he other women I have met, a sisterhood of outspoken opinions, most of them liberal. “We are a nation with one language,” Farah says, “divided in two—-traditional and modern. ” Farah tells me it all began, not with imports from the West, but with the 1979 revolution. A combination of access, education and a bad economy created a society where women now have independence, careers and husbands happy to help around the house with chores and children*56. We are setting out for Tajrish Bazaar most probably at __________.A. 3 a. m.B. 1 p. m.C. 10 a. m.D. 5 p. m.57. Why did the author choose to take the subway?A. Because it’s cheap.B. Because it’s convenient.C. Because she can see more beautiful women on the subway.D. Because it offers her an opportunity to see a different city from what most tourists see58. What does the underlined word segregation in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. isolationB. disasterC. departureD. combination59. What can we learn from the passage?A. Women in Iran must wear manteau in public.B. Fashionable girls can dress as freely as they like.C. Iran is divided in two parts by the western forces.D. Men in Iran won't help with the housework.(B)Last week Amazon announced Word Runner, a new tool for reading Kindle books. Word Runner is a software update that shows one word at a time, instead of words, sentences and paragraphs on one page.Amazon says Word Runner was developed to make reading faster. By seeing one word at a time on the screen, you will not lose your place on the page. It may help you to focus on what you are reading.Opinions about Word Runner are mixed. Carmen Blyth, Ph. D., and a teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL), says Word Runner is not optimal reading.In the Ki ndle Forums at Amazon, a commenter called CB Retriever says, “Thanks,but that absolutely will not work for me as I too do lines and blocks of text at a time __ I think the last time I read word by word was back when I was learning to read. ”Len Edgerly, business journalist and host of The Kindle Chronicles podcast, had a chance to try out Word Runner. In his podcast, Edgerly said that Word Runner is “a dramatically different way to read”.BrakeYou can pause Word Runner by tapping the pause button, called Brake. Brake lets you move words forward and backward. You can go back and re-read words using Brake.AvailabilityAccording to Amazon, Word Runner will be available soon for some English-language books on the Kindle app for Android devices and on Fire tablets.Word Runner will work with select English-language Kindle books from Amazon sites inall countries, says an Amazon representative. Amazon has not yet said whether Word Runner will be coming to the Kindle app for iPhone and iPad.Dynamic PacingWor d Runner uses a feature called “Dynamic Pacing” to adjust the speed around complicated words. Dynamic Pacing automatically slows the speed of Word Runner for complicated words, punctuation, and paragraph breaks. It makes changes based on the natural rhythm of your reading.60. In CB Retriever’s opinion, _____________.A. Word Runner provides one with necessary information to understand what he is readingB. good readers can read four words at a timeC. Word Runner is not so practical for him as he reads lines and blocks of text at a timeD. Word Runner is “a dramatically different way to read”61. From the passage, we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. Word Runner will soon be available for iPhone and iPadB. Word Runner will work with all English language books in all countriesC Word Runner is a software which updates one word at a timeD. people will soon be able to use Word Runner to read some English-language books on Android devices and Fire tablets62. “Dynamic Pacing” is designed to _________.A. regulate the speed of readingB. quicken the speed of reading something easyC. let you move words forward and backwardD. allow you to see all of the words on a page on your screen(C)Steve Jobs was 52 when he announced the iPhone. That was in 2007. Years later, the Apple co-founder introduced the MacBook Air, App Store and iPad. Tim Cook, who was 51 when he took over from Jobs, is building on his legacy. They both shattered a myth that the young rule the technology industry.Silicon Valley's ve nture capitalists speak openly of their bias toward the young. “People under 35 are the people who make change happen;people over 45 basically die in terms of new ideas,” Vinod Khosla, a prominent investor, said at a conference.The result of this bias is that older entrepreneurs often are ignored while younger entrepreneurs receive attention and funding. This is hurting the venture-capital system as well as Silicon Valley—because the stereotypes are flawed.Research on successful technology firms looked only at companies that had made it out of the garage and were making at least $ 1 million in profits. The research revealed that the average and medium age of their founders was 39. Twice as many were older than 50 as were younger than 25. And twice as many were older than 60 as were younger than 20. In a follow- up project, we studied the backgrounds of 549 successful entrepreneurs in 12 high-growth industries. The average and medium age of male founders in this group was 40,and a significant proportion were older than 50.There are lots of young founders in Silicon Valley, some of whom drop out of school to start their companies. The vast majority of these start-ups fail, however, because there is no substitute for experience and knowledge. These come with age.Young entrepreneurs surely have an advantage in social media and app building. They understand these new technologies better than their parents do because they have grown up using them. It is also easier to write code for a cellphone than to learn how to motivate and inspire employees, manage finances and market products. But building a business requires all of those skills. That is why older entrepreneurs have more success. As baby boomers become as familiar with Internet and mobile technologies as their children are,they surely will give the youngsters a run for their money. They also have greater buying power and a better understanding of the markets for the next generation of technologies.That is why we need to get beyond the stereotypes and realize that baby boomers are going to better the world.63. Which age group might the baby boomers belong to?A. Under 20.B. 20 to 30.C. 35 to 45.D. 55 to 65.64. From the passage, we can infer that ________.A. people in their 50s are absolutely unable to come up with new ideasB. the average and medium age of the founders of technology firms was 50C. some young founders in Silicon Valley quit school to start their companiesD. younger people tend to have a better understanding of the markets than old ones65. All the following statements explain why older entrepreneurs are more successful in building a business EXCEPT that _____.A. they are more experienced and knowledgeableB. they know how to motivate and inspire employees, manage finances and market productsC. they have greater buying power than younger onesD. they are more familiar with Internet and mobile technologies66. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why baby boomers are an important part of technology's future.B. Some Silicon Valley's venture capitalists speak openly of their bias toward the young.C. The young have an advantage in social media and app building than the old.D. The young rule the technology industry.Section C (8%)Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Environmental pollution kills 1. 7 million children under the age of five every year worldwide. This is according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO warns that child deaths will increase greatly if pollution continues to worsen.The most common causes of death among children aged one month to five years are diarrhea, malaria and pneumonia. This is according to the WHO. (67) ____ This means providing access to safe water and sanitation, limiting exposure to dangerous chemicals, and improving waste management.(68) ____ The WHO estimates that air pollution is responsible for about 6. 5 million premature, or early, deaths every year. That number includes nearly 600, 000 deaths of children under age five. Most of these deaths take place in developing countries.Air pollution is a leveler between rich and poor, according to WHO environment and health chief Maria Neira. (69) ____ And one of the most important ways to reduce air pollution is to produce cleaner fuels for cooking and heating. “Almost half of the world population is using dirty fuels for cooking, heating, and lighting at home. And, this is affecting very much mothers who are staying and cooking at home, but the children who are around mothers -- they are exposed as well. ” Early exposure to harmful pollutants can lead to increased risk ofchronic respiratory disease, asthma, heart disease, stroke and cancer later in life.Cleaning up how the world cooks, heats and lights homes and other buildings is a big- picture goal. The WHO is advising government departments and industries such as construction and the health sector to work together to clean up their environment.(70) ____ The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency has the following suggestions:•Avoid walking where there is a high volume of vehicle traffic.•Equip homes with air filters and air conditioning units.•Limit your time outside if you live in an area that issues warnings about air quality.•Wear high-grade, rated face masks tightly to the face when air quality is poor.•Remove your clothes and wash immediately after entering your house if you live or commute in a very polluted area.IV. Summary Writing (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point is) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Optimism and pessimism represent your general attitude toward certain situations or to life in general. And your attitude about life may be more important to living than you think.A new study suggests that people who are optimistic may live longer than those who are pessimistic. Researchers at Harvard Un iversity’s School of Public Health in Boston compared women with “a general expectation that good things will happen” to women who were less optimistic. They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease and certain types of infection.Eric Kim, one of the study leaders, says optimism is connected with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of dealing with difficulty. Optimists tend to take better care of themselves by exercising, eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep.When compared to the least optimistic women in the study, the optimistic women had:•an almost forty percent lower risk of dying from heart disease, stroke and respiratory disease• a fifty percent lower risk of dying from infection•and a sixteen percent lower risk of dying from cancerLeslie Ralph, a clinical psychologist and counselor at the University of Arizona in Tucson, has several ideas about how to increase optimism.She says each night plan to do two or three simple, enjoyable activities the next day, such as watching the sun rise, visiting a friend, dancing to a favorite song or reading a story with your child.She also suggests that if your day starts badly, simply close your eyes for a moment and take a deep breath. When you open your eyes, imagine your day has started over. It’s like having your own restart button.Offering praise or support to someone can also improve your own outlook. A smile and “thank you” from another person may help you feel more optimistic.V.

立足中下题目,力争高水平考试时,因为时间和个别题目的难度,多数学生很难做完、做对全部题目,所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。

中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上,是试题的主要构成,学生能拿下这些题目,实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理,对攻克高档题会更放得开。

确保运算正确,立足一次性成功在答卷时,要在以快为上的前提下,稳扎稳打,步步准确,尽量一次性成功。

不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度,甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。

试题做完后要认真做好解后检查,看是否有空题,答卷是否准确,格式是否规范。

要学会“挤”分考试试题大多分步给分,所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置,文科尽量把要点写清晰,作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。

考试时,每一道题都认真思考,能做几步就做几步,对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分,这是考试中最好的策略。

检查后的涂改方式要讲究发现错误后要划掉重新写,忌原地用涂黑的方式改,这会使阅卷老师看不清。

如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写,要先写出正确的,再划去错误的。

有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了,写新题解的时间又不够,本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。

考试期间遇到这些事,莫慌乱!第 1 页/共20 页崇明区2019届第二次高考模拟考试试卷英语(考试时间120分钟,满分140分。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.New “Star Wars” Attractions Set to Open at Di sney Theme Parks in 2019 The galaxy (银河系) that seems so far, far away just got a little closer.On Tuesday, Disney announced “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge”, a highly (21)(expect) themed land under construction, would open in summer 2019 at California’s D isneyland and in late fall 2019 at Florida’s Disney World.(22) the announcement was made, officials had only said the new land would open soon.No specific date (23) (announce) for the Disneyland opening. But if past summer openings are any indi cation, “Galaxy’s Edge” is expected to open in late June.The additions will be Disney’s (24)(big) “single-themed land expansion” ever, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger. Each will be an expansive 14 acres (英亩). A copy of the Millennium Falcon spaceship, (25) guests will be able to pilot, will be a key attraction.Galaxy’s Edge will immerse (使沉浸于) visitors in the Star Wars universe, (26) (transport) them to a never-before-seen Star Wars planet—a remote trading port largely ignored by warring people and one of the last stops before wild space. This planet is (27) Star Wars characters and their stories will come to life. It will feature two major attractions: (28) allowing guests to pilot the Millennium Falcon and the other dropping riders into the middle of a battle. The most advanced video techniques are expected to power each attraction.Even as Galaxy’s Edge (29)(approach), Disneyland is making changes, both large and small, in advance. Recent projects have shifted queues for “Dumbo the Flying Elephant” and “It’s a Small World”. These are the efforts to improve traffic flows near the attractions. Similar changes have been made in Adventureland (30) (ease) congestion points. Work has started on a new luxury resort in Downtown Disney. Officials have closed Rainforest Café, ESPN Zone and AMC Theaters to make room.Section BDirections: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.第 4 页/共20 页Titanic II Could Sail as Soon as 2022If you thought the long-delayed project to launch a full-size copy of the ill-fated Royal Mail Ship Titanic was sunk in the water—think again. Just like Celine Dion sang back in 1997, the travel project will “go on and on.”Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer, who is behind the 31 , announced in September that work on the ship had started again. The idea was first floated in 2012. It is said that the new ship will be a(n) 32 copy of the infamous ship, which sank in 1912 following a crash with an iceberg (冰山).To avoid a(n) 33 disaster, Titanic II will apparently be equipped with plenty of life boats, modern navigation (导航) and radar equipment. The first voyage, however, will take passengers from Dubai to New York, reports CruiseArabia, with the first sailing 34 to take place in 2022. Blue Star Line says the nine-decked ship will be home to 835 cabins, and 2,435 passengers will be 35 . You’ll be able to buy first-, second- and third-class tickets—just like in the original.Meanwhile tourists with plenty of money might soon have the chance to dive to the 36 of the original Titanic. American company OceanGate has planned diving trips for 2019, costing $105,129 per person.Of course, the original Titanic voyage ended in 37 , with over 1,500 people losing their lives. For many, voyages to the original ship are in bad taste. Steve Sims, founder of The Bluefish, said earlier in 2018 that he doesn’t see diving to the original one as 38 .Realistically, it’s 39 whether Titanic II will ever see the light of day—or whether the diving tours will happen soon. But one thing is for certain, more than 100 years after the Titanic’s first and only voyage, global interest in this ship shows no 40 of slowing down.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.第 5 页/共20 页Lying in a Foreign Language Is EasierMost people don’t find it more difficult to lie in a foreign language t han in their native tongue. However, things are different when telling the truth: This is clearly more difficult for many people in a foreign language than in their native one.This 41 conclusion is the result of a study conducted by two psychologists from the University of Würzburg: Kristina Suchotzki and Matthias Gamer. The two scientists presented their 42 in Journal of Experimental Psychology.Their findings could be important for a lot of processes in which the trustworthiness of certain people must be 43 . In such situations, reports by non-native speakers tend to be considered as less 44 even though they may be truthful. Their discovery also explains another 45 , namely that people communicating in a foreign language are generally considered as less trustworthy.There are two research 46 to predict differences between deception and truth telling in a native compared to a second language.Research from cognitive (认知的)load theory suggests that lying is more difficult in a foreign l anguage. “Compared to truth telling, lying is a cognitively more 47 task,” Kristina Suchotzki explains. Adding a foreign language imposes an additional cognitive 48 which makes lying even more difficult.Lying is easier in a foreign language: This should be true according to the emotional distance hypothesis(假设). This assumption is based on the fact that lying is 49 more emotions than staying with the truth. Liars have higher stress levels and are more tense. Research shows that compared to speaking in a native language, communicating in a second language is less 50 arousing. Accordingly, this 51 emotional arousal would promote lying.To settle this question, the Würzburg psychologists conducted a number of experiments in which up to 50 test persons had to complete specific tasks. They were asked to answer a number of questions—sometimes 52 and sometimes deceptively both in their native language and in a foreign language. Some questions were 53 ; other questions were clearly emotional.The results show that it usually takes longer to answer emotional questions. Answers in the foreign language also take longer. And generally, it takes longer to tell a lie than to tell the truth. However, the time differences between deceptive and truthful answers are less 54 in a second language than in the native language.The data suggest that the increased cognitive effort is responsible for the prolongation (延长) of the truth 55 in the foreign language. The reason why this prolongation almost does not exist in lying can be explained with the emotional distance hypothesis: The greater emotional distance in a foreign language thus “cancels out” the higher cognitive load when lying.第 6 页/共20 页41.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In a career that lasted more than half a century, Tom Wolfe wrote fiction and nonfiction best-sellers including The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and The Bonfire of the Vanities. Along the way, he created a new type of journalism and coined phrases that became part of the American vocabulary.Wolfe began working as a newspaper reporter, first for The Washington Post, then the New York Herald Tribune. He developed a literary style in nonfiction that became known as the “New Journalism.” “I’ve always agreed on a theoretical level that the techniques for fiction and nonfiction are interchangeable,” he said. “The things that work in nonfiction would work in fiction, and vice versa.”“When Tom Wolfe’s voice broke into the world of nonfiction, it was a time when a lot of writers, and a lot of artists in general, were turning inwards,” says Lev Grossman, book critic for Time maga zine. “Wolfe didn’t do that. Wolfe turned outwards. He was a guy who was interested in other people.” Wolfe was interested in how they thought, how they did things and how the things they did affected the world around them.第7 页/共20 页In 1979, Wolfe published The Right Stuff, an account of the military test pilots who became America’s first astronauts. Four years later, the book was adapted as a feature film. “The Right Stuff was the book for me,” says Grossman. “It reminded me, in case I’d forgotten, that the world i s an incredible place.”In The Right Stuff, Wolfe popularized the phrase “pushing the envelope.” In a New York magazine article, Wolfe described the 1970s as “The ‘Me’ Decade.” Grossman says these phrases became part of the American idiom because they were accurate.“He was an enormously forceful observer, and he was not afraid of making strong claims about what was happening in reality,” Grossman says. “He did it well and people heard him. And they repeated what he said because he was right.” All those wor ds started a revolution in nonfiction that is still going on.56. The “New Journalism” is a style of journalism that .A. changes its news writing techniques frequentlyB. popularizes new American idioms in a literary wayC. combines novelistic techniques with traditional reportingD. reports various news events from a theoretical perspective57. It can be learned from the passage that The Right Stuff .A. is a film directed by Lev GrossmanB. is an influential book by Tom WolfeC. accounts for popular American phrasesD. deals with incredible places in the world58. According to the passage, Tom Wolfe .A. was good at reporting news from a realistic perspectiveB. preferred making claims about events to writing booksC. was fond of commenting on other people’s thoughtsD. liked analyzing social problems from the outside59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Tom Wolfe: A Professional Phrase CoinerB. Tom Wolfe: A Forceful Observer and NovelistC. Tom Wolfe: A Theoretical Creator in LiteratureD. Tom Wolfe: An Innovative Journalist and Writer第8 页/共20 页Important facts about ELIQUIS® (apixaban)This is a summary of important information that you need to know about ELIQUIS.

It may increase the risk of having dental problems.(C)The Earth is facing a climate crisis, but it’s also getting greener and leafier. According to new research, the rise is largely due to China and India.A study by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), based on extensive satellite photographs and published in the journal Nature Sustainability, has revealed that the two countries with the world’s biggest populations are also responsible for the largest increase in greenness.Since 2000, the planet’s green leaf a rea has increased by 5 percent, or over 2 million square miles. That’s an area equivalent to the sum total of the Amazon rainforests, NASA says. But researchers stressed that the new greenery does not neutralize deforestation and its negative impacts on ecosystems elsewhere.A third of the leaf increase is thanks to China and India, due to the implementation of major tree-planting projects alongside a vast increase in agriculture.Using the data from a NASA sensor, researchers discovered that China is the source of a quarter of the increase in green leaf area, despite possessing only 6.6 percent of the world’s vegetated area (植被区). Forests account for 42 percent of that increase, while croplands make up a further 32 percent. China’s increase in forest area i s the result of forest preservation and expansion programs, NASA said, established to fight against the impacts of climate change, air pollution and soil erosion (水土流失). India has contributed a further 6.8 percent rise in green leaf area, with 82 percent from croplands and 4.4 percent from forests.Rama Nemani, a co-author of the study and a researcher at NASA’s Ames Research Center, said in a statement, “When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and fertilization from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests, for instance.” “Now, with the data that lets us understand the phenomenon at really small scales, we see that humans are also contributing,” Nemani said. “This will help scientists make better predictions about the behavior of different Earth systems, which will help countries make better decisions about how and when to take action.”Thomas Pugh, a professor at the University of Birmingham’s Sc hool of Geography, Earth and第10 页/共20 页第 11 页/共 20 页Environmental Sciences, said the NASA report expands scientists’ understanding of the causes behind global greening. But he also cautioned that a direct line cannot be drawn between an increase in global greening and a decrease in negative impacts of climate change. 63. The passage mainly tells us that .A. China and India have the world’s largest green leaf areasB. China and India are the lead role players in global greeningC. our planet is experiencing a climate crisis despite human effortsD. our planet is getting greener due to the joint efforts of the world64. What can be learned about China and India?A. The area of croplands in India is larger than that in China.B. India’s rise in leaf area is largely due to its forestry program.C. They both show a greater increase in forests than in croplands.D. China boasts twenty-five percent of the global rise in leaf area.65. According to Rama Nemani, their new findings are .A. unexpected but significantB. surprising but valuelessC. predictable but disappointingD. uncontrollable but inspiring66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. There is an indirect link between global greening and climate change.B. The new greenery does not have any positive effect on the global climate.C. The gain in greenness does not make up for the damage from loss of leaf area.D. The increase in greening reduces the deforestation rate and its impact globally.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Screen Time: How Much Is Too Much?Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media—from televisions to video games, computers and other devices. 67 Perhaps parents now should ease up on their concerns about screen time, at least for older boys and girls.Until last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggested that children and teenagers have no more than two hours of screen time a day. It also suggests that parents balance a child’s screen time with other activities.68 Christopher Ferguson, who teaches psychology at Stetson University in Florida, notes a lack of evidence supporting reports that too many hours spent playing video games or watching TV is truly harmful.Ferguson seems interested in one idea: the link between video games and violent or risky behavior. When he saw results from a recent British survey on screen time, he wanted to know more. The British study found a small negative effect—about a one percent increase—in aggression and depression among children who had six or more hours of screen time a day. 69 So, Ferguson and his team examined answers from a survey on risky behaviors. The study involved about 6,000 boys and girls in Florida, whose average age was 16.Data from this survey found that American children are also fairly resistant to the negative effects of electronic media. Among those who used screens up to six hours a day, the survey found: a 0.5 percent increase in criminal behavior; a 1.7 percent increase in signs of depression; and a 1.2 percent negative effect on school grades. 70 To further argue his point that screen time is not harmful, Ferguson adds that children should become familiar with screen technology. Electronic devices, he says, are a part of our everyday lives.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Fujian Puppetry (木偶剧) in Need of Urgent SafeguardingAs one of the contributions of Chinese performing art to the world’s cultural heritage(遗产), Fujian puppetry has a long history. It has developed a set of characteristic techniques of performance and puppet making, as well as plays and music.No final conclusions have yet been reached on the origins and evolution of Chinese puppetry. Dating from Shang dynasty, pottery figurines (陶俑) used as burial objects have been discovered at the Yin Ruins. In a Western Han tomb at Mawangdui in Changsha, Hunan Province, a number of wooden figurines have been unearthed. These were a great improvement on those from previous dynasties in terms of craftsmanship, variety and modeling. Over time, figurines as burial objects evolved into puppets for entertainment on festive occasions.第12 页/共20 页Chinese puppetry further developed during the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a bunch of schools spreading across the country. Puppet shows from various places had their own characteristics in terms of figure modeling.In the past few decades, many traditional forms of art have seen a decline in popularity. In particular, Fujian puppetry finds itself in hot water. The number of young people learning puppetry has decreased due to socioeconomic changes to their lifestyles. The long period of training required to master the complicated performing techniques has also been a factor in the fall.In response, concerned communities, groups and bearers laid down the 2008-2020 Strategy for the Training of Coming Generations of Fujian Puppetry Practitioners. The key objectives are to safeguard the promotion of Fujian Puppetry and to increase its sustainability through professional training to cultivate a new generation of puppetry practitioners; creation of teaching materials; construction of training institutes and exhibition halls; regional and international cooperation; and artistic exchange.In 2012, the strategy was added to the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices by the UNESCO. With great efforts made by practitioners, local people and education institutions, Fujian Puppetry can expect a brighter future.V.

many things.In middle school things in my life began to get even worse.I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed.I was always tired.Everything was horrible.Finally,midway through eighth grade,I was told I had a chemical imbalance,diagnosed (诊断) with clinical depression,and had to take medicine.It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine.When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself,rather than relying on medicine.Aristotle said,"To live happily is an inward power of the soul,"and I believe that

beloved reindeer(驯鹿).Soon,however,Santa Claus may have to start looking around for a stronger type of animal,as a new research shows the species is becoming increasingly puny.A 16﹣vear survey on the arctic Norwegian island of Svalbard found the reindeer therehave declined in weight by an alarming 12 percent.The reduction in average body﹣mass is being blamed on global warming.In the research presented lately at a meeting of the British Ecological Society in Liverpool,scientists have explained how rising temperatures are robbing female reindeer of nutrients during important periods of pregnancy.are becoming starved,causing them to abort their babies or giving birth to much lighter young.Snow in Svalbard typically covers the ground for eight months of the year,which,combined with low temperatures,limits grass growth to June and July.But as summer temperatures have increased by around 1.5°C,grass has become more productive,allowing female reindeer to gain more weight by the autumn and therefore to have more babies.However,wanner winters have brought with them greater rainfall which freezes when it settles on the snow.Reindeer can often access the poor food sources beneath the snow by clearing it away with their antlers(鹿角),but they cannot break through the hard ice.As a result,female reindeer are becoming starved,causing them to abort their babies or giving birth to much lighter young.Despite the findings,reindeer appear to be suffering less from the effect of climate change than some other arctic species.Last week the scientists warned that a third of the world's polar bears could disappear in the next 40 years.32.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"puny"in Paragraph 2?A.strong B.mature C.heavy D.weak33.Why do female reindeer

text?A.Climate change has little effect on reindeer.B.Polar bears suffer more from climate change.C.Reindeer have no trouble finding food in winter.D.Polar bears will disappear in the near future.35.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The Christmas Eve duty will still be carried out by reindeer.B.Reindeer has decreased in weight owing to global warming.C.Global warming contributes to more young reindeer.D.Many arctic species are at the risk of dying out.第二节(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.36.Some Most Common Senior Year MistakesAlmost every high school senior makes

2019年上海市奉贤区高考英语一模试卷II. Grammar and Vocabulary1.(15分)To Be Joyful,To Be YoungWhat really works to make sustainable changes in diet and lifestyle?It's probably not what you think.In the past 30 years of conducting clinical research,I (1)(learn)that real keys are pleasure,joy and freedom.Joy of living is sustainable;fear of dying is not.Why?Because life is to be enjoyed.There's no point (2)(abandon)something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better,and quickly.When people eat more healthfully,(3)(quit)smoking,and manage stress better,they find they feel so much better,so quickly.It reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.When you exercise and eat right,your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen,so you become smarter,have more energy,and need less sleep.Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons(神经细胞)(4)(grow)that it actually increased the size of people's brains!Your face receives more blood flow,so your skin glows more and wrinkles less.You look younger and more attractive.In contrast,an unhealthy diet,lasting emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face (5)you age more quickly.Smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes to your blood vessel becoming narrower,(6)decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely.This is why smokers look years older than they really are.One of the most interesting findings was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than (7)was objectively occurring in their lives.(8)(give)a questionnaire,the women were asked to rate on a three﹣point scale how stressed they felteach day.The women who realized they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres(染色体端粒)compared with (9)who felt more relaxed.Contrarily,some of the women who felt relaxed (10)raising a disabledchild had more normal﹣appearing telomeres.In other words,if you feel stressed,you are stressed.2.(15分)A.uprising B.original C.frequently D.spectacularE.features F.luxuriously G.captured H.approachesI.inhabited J.matters K.ranksWelcome to Windsor CastleWindsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and the Official Residence of the Queen of Britain.Over a period of nearly 1,000 years it has been(1)continuously,and altered and redecorated by monarchs(君主)one after the other.Some were great builders,strengthening the Castle against (2)and rebellion;others,living in more peaceful times,created a grand Royal residence.William the Conqueror chose the site,high above the river Thames and on the edge of a Saxon hunting ground.It was a day's march from the Tower of London and intended to guard the western (3)to the capital.The outer walls of today's structure are in the same position as those of the (4)castle built by William the Conqueror in the 1070s.The Queen uses the Castle both as a private home,where she usually spends the weekend,and as a Royal residence at which she undertakes certain formal duties.Windsor Castle is (5)used by the Queen to host State Visits from overseas monarchs and presidents.Every year the Queen takes up official residence in Windsor Castle for a month over Easter (March﹣April).The Castle is huge,so people tend to head for the most(6)bits﹣﹣﹣the State Apartments,St.George's Chapel,the Gallery and the delightful Queen Mary's Dolls House.Works of art,antique furniture,curiosities and impressive architecture reflect the tastes of many different royal generations.The State Apartments are(7)decorated formal rooms still used for state and official functions.The magnificent and beautiful St.George's Chapel was started in 1475 by Edward IV and was completed 50 years later by Henry VIII.It (8)among the finest examples of late medieval architecture in the UK.The Drawings Gallery(9)the exhibition "The Queen:60 Photographs for 60Years".The exhibition presents portraits of the Queen(10)in brief moments on both official occasions and at relaxed family gatherings.III. Reading Comprehension3.(30分)"Nature and Nurture"People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviour are formed.However,it is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not,or why one is cooperative and another is (1).Social scientists are of course (2)interested in these types of questions.They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviour.There are no clear answers yet,but two (3)schools of thought on the matter have developed.As one might expect,the two approaches are very different from each other,and there is a great deal of debate between (4)of each theory.The controversy (争论)is often conveniently referred to as "nature and nurture".Those who(5)the "nature" side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behaviour patterns are (6)determined by biological factors.That our environment has little,if anything,to do with our abilities,characteristics and behaviour is (7)to this theory.Taken to an extreme,this theory states that our behaviour is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our (8).Supporters of the "nurture" theory,or,as they are often called,(9),claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act.A behaviorist,B.F.Skinner,sees humans as beings whose behaviour is almost completely(10)by their surroundings.The behaviorists' view of the human being is quite mechanistic.They state that,like machines,humans respond to (11)stimuli(刺激)as the basis of their behaviour.Socially and politically,the consequences of these two theories are (12).In the US,for example,blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests.This leads some "nature" supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites are.Behaviorists,(13),say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmentaladvantages that whites enjoy,and that,as a result,they do not develop the same (14)that whites do.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behaviour.As a matter of fact,it is quite (15)that the key to our behaviour lies somewhere between these two extremes and that the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.(1)A.sensitive B.productive

Red Bull usually helps.The work I do at Sainsbury's is very physical like stacking shelves.I'm lucky because I'm an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to bear it.I'm originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven,growing up in Croydon,south London.Money was tight.My parents gave me everything I needed,but there was no money to spend on luxuries.I worked hard at school though and,with the help of GT Scholars,I got some of the best A﹣level grades in my class.Unfortunately,though I had applied for "settled" British residential status when very young,the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application.That meant I wasn't eligible for a student loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that if I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents,who work in market research,paid for my tuition fees.In Scotland,that's about £7,000 a year.I don't have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally,I would also like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes,I have a lot on my plate,but working hard isn't new to me.Growing up,my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS.But right now,I'm just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find life hard,I tell myself this is about my future.I don't need much,but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time.That is what I look forward to the most.(1)Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week?A.To help his parents pay off

show in the final leg of a travelling tour that has already attracted thousands of visitors in Hamburg and the Hague,may come asa surprise to many.Few outside the Nordic(北欧的)world would recognize the works ofthis Finnish artist who died in 1946.More people should.The 120 works have at their core20 self﹣portraits,half the number she painted in all.The first,dated 1880,is of a wide﹣eyed teenager eager to absorb everything.The last is a sighting of the artist's ghost﹣to﹣be.Prematurely gifted,Schjerfbeck was 11 when she entered the Finnish Art Society's drawing school."The Wounded Warrior in the Snow",a history painting,was bought by a private collector and won her a state travel grant when she was 17.Schjerfbeck studied in Paris,went on to Pont﹣Aven,Brittany,where she painted for a year,then to Tuscany,Cornwall and St Petersburg.During her 1887 visit to St Ives,Cornwall,Schjerfbeck painted "The Convalescent".A child wrapped in a blanket sits supported up in a large wicker (柳条编制的)chair,toying with a sprig(小枝条).The picture won a bronze medal at the 1889 Paris World Fair and was bought by the Finnish Art Society.To a modern eye it seems almost sentimental(感伤的)and is made up for only by the somewhat astonished,sad expression on the child's face,which may have been inspired by Schjerfbeck's early experiences.At four,she fell down a flight of steps and never fully recovered.In 1890,Schjerfbeck settled in Finland.Teaching exhausted her,she did not like the works of other local painters,and she was further isolated when she took on the care of her mother."If I allow myself the freedom to live an isolated life",she wrote,"then it is because it has to be that way." In 1902,Schjerfbeck and her mother settled in the small,industrial town of Hyvinkaa,50 kilometres north of Helsinki.Isolation had one desired effect for it was there that Schjerfbeck became a modern painter.She produced still lives and landscapes but above all moody yet sharp portraits of her mother,local school girls,womenworkers in town."I have always searched for the dense depths of the soul,which have not yet been discovered by humans themselves",she wrote,"where everything is still unconscious ﹣﹣there one can make the greatest discoveries." She experimented with different kinds of underpainting,scraped and rubbed,made bright rosy red spots;doing whatever had to be done to capture the subconscious ﹣﹣her own and that of her models.In 1913,Schjerfbeck was rediscovered by an art dealer and journalist,Gosta Stenman.Once again she was a success.(1)Schjerfbeck's paintings may come as a surprise to many because.A.her paintings are rarely known outside the Nordic worldB.her paintings have never been on show out of the Nordic worldC.her paintings have the power to haunt people whoever have seen themD.her paintings focus on supernatural elements such as ghosts(2)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A."The Convalescent" is in fact a portrait of Schjerbeck in her childhood.B."The Convalescent" is a reflection of Schejerbeck's sentimental childhood.C."The Convalescent" is made as a result of an accident in Schejerbeck's childhood.D."The Convalescent" is featured by the child's astonished,sorrowful expression.(3)Schejerbeck chose to live an isolated life mainly because of.A.she was exhausted by her teaching jobB.her personality prefers this kind of styleC.she could not appreciate the work of the other local paintersD.her mother's health condition required her to adopt such a life style.(4)We can infer from the passage that the most outstanding characteristics of Schjerfbeck's paintings is.A.her vivid characterization of common peopleB.her capture of the characters' soulC.the sorrowful expression of the charactersD.her unconscious sense of some mysterious elements7.(8分)A.An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods.B.You are more easily annoyed and bothered.C.It is generally believed that the quality of being patient is very difficult to develop.D.Becoming more patient involves opening your heart to the present moment,even if you don't like it.E.Without patience,you will see the same scene as an emergency complete with yelling,frustration,hurt feelings.F.If you lack patience,you are destined to fail in what you are pursuing.The quality of patience goes a long way toward your goal of creating a more peaceful and loving self.The more patient you are,the more accepting you will be of what life is,rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be.Without patience,life is extremely frustrating.(1)Patience adds some ease and acceptance to your life.It's important for inner peace.(2)If you are stuck in a traffic jam,late for an appointment,being patient would mean keeping yourself from building a mental snowball before your thinking gets out of hand and gently reminding yourself to relax.It might also be a good time to breathe as well as an opportunity to remind yourself that,in the bigger scheme of things,being late is "small stuff".Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice.(3)They are the periods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience.Life itself becomes a classroom,and the curriculum is patience.You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience over time.What you'll discover is truly amazing.Your intention to be patient,especially if you know it's only for a short while,immediately strengthens your capacity for patience.Patience is one of those qualities where success feeds on itself.Once you reach little milestone﹣five minutes of successful patience ﹣you'll begin to see that you do indeed have the capacity to be patient,even for longer periods of time.Over time,you may even become a patient person.Being patient will help you to keep your perspective.You will see even a difficult situation,say your present challenge,isn't "life or death" but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with.(4).IV. Summary Writing8.(15分)Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point (s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.A remarkable variety of insects live in this planet.More species of insects exist than allother animal species together.Insects have survived on earth for more than 300 million years,and may possess the ability to survive for millions more.Insects can be found almost everywhere ﹣﹣on the highest mountains and on the bottom of rushing streams,in the cold South Pole and in bubbling hot springs.They dig through the ground,jump and sing in the trees,and run and dance in the air.They come in many different colours and various shapes.There are many reasons why insects are so successful at surviving.Their amazing ability to adapt permits them to live in extreme ranges of temperatures and environments.The one place where they have not yet been found to any major extent is in the open oceans.Insects can survive on a wide range of natural and artificial foods ﹣﹣paint,pepper,glue,books,grain,cotton,other insects,plants and animals.Because they are small they can hide in tiny spaces.Also,insects have an enormous reproductive capacity:An African ant queen can lay as many as 43,000 eggs a day.Another reason for their success is the strategy of protective colour.An insect may be right before our eyes,but nearly invisible because it is cleverly disguised(伪装)like a green leaf,lump of brown soil,gray lichen(青苔),a seed or some other natural object.Some insects use bright,bold colours to send warning signals that they taste bad,sting or are poison.Others have wing patterns that look like the eyes of a huge predator,bitter﹣tasting insects;hungry enemies are fooled into avoiding them.V.

research,I (1)have learned (learn)that real keys are pleasure,joy and freedom.Joy of living is sustainable;fear of dying is not.Why?Because life is to be enjoyed.There's no point (2)abandoning(abandon)something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better,and quickly.When people eat more healthfully,(3)quit(quit)smoking,and manage stress better,they find they feel so much better,so quickly.It reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.When you exercise and eat right,your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen,so you become smarter,have more energy,and need less sleep.Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons(神经细胞)(4)to grow(grow)that it actually increased the size of people's brains!Your face receives more blood flow,so your skin glows more and wrinkles less.You look younger and more attractive.In contrast,an unhealthy diet,lasting emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face (5)so you age more quickly.Smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes to your blood vessel becoming narrower,(6)which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely.This is why smokers look years older than they really are.One of the most interesting findings was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than (7)what was objectively occurring in their lives.(8)Given/Having been given(give)a questionnaire,the women were asked to rate on a three﹣point scale how stressed they felt each day.The women who realized they were under heavy stress hadsignificantly shortened and damaged telomeres(染色体端粒)compared with (9)those who felt more relaxed.Contrarily,some of the women who felt relaxed (10)without raising a disabled child had more normal﹣appearing telomeres.In other words,if you feel stressed,you are stressed.【解答】1.have learned.考查时态,根据前面的in the past 30 years,可知是段时间,应该使用现在完成时态,故填have

wall﹣to﹣wall special effects,"Bridge of Terabithia" is grounded in reality far more than in fantasy.Adapting Katherine Paterson's award﹣winning novel,the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformative friendship between two unusually gifted children.The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.Jess Aarons (Josh Hutcherson)is a sixth grader with four sisters,financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing.An introverted(内向的)kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses,Jess forms a bond with a new student named Leslie (Anna Sophia Robb),a free spirit whose parents,both writers,are fondly neglectful.An attraction betweenoutsiders,their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures;together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes,a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life,"Bridge to Terabithia" keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday.Gabor Csupo directs this,his first feature,like someone close to the pain of being different,fascinated in tiny,perfect details.With strong performances from all the leads,"Bridge to Terabithia" is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity.As the emotional landscape darkens,those who haven't read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror.In other words,your children may cry,but they won't be traumatized so badly.Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web,"Bridge to Terabithia" is the kind of children's movie rarely seen nowadays.At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music and art from the curriculum,the story's insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.(1)The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie.A.lost their control over the imaginary kingdomB.looked down on their individual realitiesC.formed a

holdsthe air.The BurnerThe unit whichpushes the heatup into theenvelopeThe BasketWhere thepassengers andpilot stand The basis of how the balloon works is that warmer air rises in cooler air.This is because hot air is lighter than cool air as it has less mass per unit of volume.Mass can be defined by the measure of how much matter something contains.The actual balloon has to be large as it takes a large amount of heated air to lift it off the ground.The burner uses propane gas to heat up the air in the envelope to move the balloon off the ground and into the air.The pilot must keep firing the burner at regular intervals throughout the flight to ensure that the balloon continues to the stable.Naturally,the hot air will not escape from the hot at the very bottom of the envelop as firstly,hot air rises and secondly,the floating power keeps it moving up.To move the balloon upwards,the pilot opens up the propane value which lets the propane flow to the burner which in turn frees the flame up into the envelope.It works inmuch the same way as a gas grill:the more you open the valve,the bigger the flame to beat the air and the faster the balloon rises.The "Parachute Valve" at the very top of the balloon is what is used to bring the balloon down towards the ground.It is a circle of fabric cut out of the top of the envelop which is controlled by a rope which runs down through the middle of the envelope to the basket.If the pilot wants to bring the balloon down,he or she simply pulls on the rope which will open the valve,letting hot air escape,decreasing the inner air temperature.This cooling of air causes the balloon to slow its rise.The pilot can operate horizontally by changing the vertical position of the balloon because the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes.If the pilot wants to move in a particular direction,he or she simply arises and falls to the appropriate level and rides with the wind.(1)The purpose of this article is to.A.explain how hot air balloons workB.illustrate why hot air balloons are usefulC.describe hot air balloons' structureD.inform readers about how hot air balloons are made(2)What would happen if the "Parachute Valve" could not be released after it was opened?A.The inside of the balloon would continue to heat up.B.The balloon would climb up more rapidlyC.The self﹣sealing valve would need to take over the role of the Parachute Valve.D.The balloon would begin to move down more rapidly.(3)Which of the following skills or knowledge would be the most useful to a balloon pilot?A.The ability to sew the panels of fabric together to make a balloon.B.An understanding of how propane gas is manufactured.C.A knowledge of the background of passengers who are travelling in the balloon.D.A knowledge of air currents and wind directions in the area where he is piloting the balloon.6.(8分)The surface of Venus has never seemed very hospitable.Temperatures change around470°C(900°F),the result of a runway greenhouse effect,and the pressure of its atmosphere,thick with carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid(硫酸),is some 90times that of Earth's.Lead(铅)would flow like water on Venus,and water cannot have existed in liquid form for perhaps a billion years.Now NASA'S Magellan spacecraft seems to have found one more horror in the nasty landscape:active volcanoes.Last week the space agency released the first detailed map of Venus and the most dramatic images ever made of its surface.The picture offer the best evidence to date that a planet once assumed dead is actually a lively pot of geological change.The most amazing image is of Venus's second tallest mountain,Maat Mons,which rises 8km(5miles).Most of the planet's many peaks,including 9.5﹣km﹣(6﹣mile﹣)high Maxwell Montes,look bright in the radar pictures Magellan takes from its orbit above the permanent could cover.That means they are strong reflectors of radar waves.But Maat Mons is dark;like the Stealth bomber,it absorbs much of the radar falling on it.This interesting fact,say project scientists,is a strong hint that the mountains has recently been covered with lava(熔岩).Rock that sits on the surface of mountaintops appears to weather quickly in the hot ,chemically reactive atmosphere,creating a soil that is rich in iron sulfide(硫化铁).It is this mineral,the scientists believe,that can easily be seen on radar.If Maat Mons doesn't have any,it has probably been resurfaced,perhaps within the past few years.Such resurfacing has undoubtedly taken place in Venus lowlands:earlier images of the planet showed vast areas that are remarkably free of craters(火山坑).That would be easy to explain on a Planet like Earth,where cratering from meteor strikes is erased by steady erosion.But while there is some evidence of wind erosion on Venus,the best explanation for the lack of cratering is periodic lava flow.Magellan has found direct evidence of such flows,including domelike upwellings and hardened streamed of rock trailing down the sides of Venusian peaks.There are also signs of other geologic activities,including dramatic faulting and several distinct incidents of mountain building.But the evidence can't indicate whether they really occurred millions of years ago.The case for active Venusian volcanoes is not yet proved,but Magellan,which is now well into its second complete survey of the planet's surface,may eventually settle the issue.(1)Which of the following has NO possibility to be found on Venus now?A.Carbon dioxideB.Sulfuric acidC.Liquid waterD.Active volcanoes(2)The scientists believe that shows up easily on radar.A.geological changeB.iron sulfideC.mountain mineralD.lava flow(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The resurfacing has changed the images of the vast areas in Venus lowlands.B.The wind erosion on V enus is caused by periodic lava flowsC.Streams of rock trailing down the side of Venusian peaks can be seen on EarthD.Other geologic activities have caused dramatic and unbelievable climate phenomenon.(4)What can be inferred from the passage?A.NASA'S Magallan spacecraft fails to stand the environment of Venus.B.There is clear and confirmed evidence for the active Venusian volcanoes on Venus.C.Some evidence of periodic lava flows has been found by NASA astronauts.D.Magellan will conduct a follow﹣up complete survey of the Venus' surface.Section CDirections:Read

Fill in each blank with a proper sentences given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.7.(8分)Nowhere To Hide:What Machines Can Tell From Your FaceThe human face is a remarkable piece of work.(1).So is the face's ability to send emotional signals,whether through the unconscious shame or the trick of a false smile.People spend much of their waking lives,in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom,reading faces,for signs of attraction,hostility,trust and deceit.They also spend plenty of time trying to hide their feelings,intentions or nature.(2).In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers' attendance;in Britain,by retailers to spot past shoplifters.This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game.In China it confirms the identities of ride﹣hailing drivers,permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile.Apple's new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the homescreenSet against human skills,such applications might seem enhancive.Some breakthroughs,such as flight or the internet,obviously transform human abilities.(3).Although faces are peculiar to individuals,they are also public,so technology does not,at first sight,intrude on something that is private.And yet the ability to record,store and analyse images of faces cheaply,quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of privacy,fairness and trust.(4).Masking true feelings helps fix the wheels of daily life.If your partner can spot every prohibited yawn,and your boss every hint of annoyance,marriages and working relationships will be more truthful,but less harmonious.The basis of social interactions might change,too,from a set of commitments founded on trust to calculations of risk and reward derived from the information a computer attaches to someone's face.Relationships might become more reasonable,but also transactional.IV.

All of the kids at my age were boys. People of all ages always looked out for me, but they also brought me some embarrassment.I was born at home. The doctor overseeing my arrival was a family friend. Dad had then been a soldier serving in the navy and figured we should save some money.At first, my parents didn't have a name for me. My name on my birth certificate still read Baby Girl. And that's what they called me until I was almost 4. When they planned our first train trip to Mexico for vacation, we needed passports, which made it easier to come up with a name. My father liked the sound of Picabo, an old Native American settlement in the south. My mother and father agreed on Picabo.As a child, I was afraid of the dark, but it was manageable. Another fear was the Rhode Island Red. Each time I went out to the hen house to get eggs, he always pecked(啄)me as if I had stolen the eggs laid by his lover. I began carrying a stick to keep him away. However, he was always following me. Later we became good friends. I also liked playing hide-and-seek with him.Our house was one of four that stood next to each other on an upper street in town. It was a one-story white cottage with no basement and no foundation, but Dad dug a cellar(地客). All of our heat came from a wood-burning stove, where our food was cooked over an open flame.

At first, wildlife biologists saw this as an environmental crisis, pointing to marshes(湿地)where plants were eaten by the hungry birds. In response, the federal government loosened restrictions on snow goose hunting.But how do the Inuit, in whose backyard this is taking place, view the situation? A recent plan is giving Inuit wildlife experts the opportunity to lend their knowledge to managing the species. The snow goose study, which is supported in part by Polar Knowledge Canada and led by the Kivalliq Wildlife Board(an Inuit organization that manages hunting, trapping and fishing in central Nunavut), asked the experts to share their generations of knowledge about snow geese and their views on what should be done."The community had concerns about controlling the population, " says Ron, a community officer of the Kivalliq Inuit Association, "and Inuit snow goose knowledge had never been recorded. People wanted to pass on what they knew." Inuit experts disagreed with that, considering it wasteful and unnecessary. They felt hunting more snow geese in an organized way, such as paying local hunters a minimal amount of money and distributing the birds to disadvantaged families or operating a limited commercial hunt by employing local people, would be appropriate.Inuit wildlife experts will plan to call on scientists this fall. They say they hope to search for a common way forward and that while there may be too many snow geese in some areas, it's not a crisis. Biologists now generally agree that there seem to be plenty of undamaged marshes available and newer research shows that some damaged areas can recover."Now that we have recorded and documented Inuit knowledge of snow geese, " says Ron, "when facing the crisis other people will be able to use the information to help manage the species, which is, fundament at dealing with it effectively."(1) Why did the federal government loosen limitations on snow goose hunting?A. To make more profits.B. To create more marshes.C. To wipe out the hungry birds.D. To protect the ecosystem.(2) Which of the following might Inuit wildlife experts agree with?A. Organizing large commercial hunts.B. Using snow goose hunting to man's best advantage.C. Regarding too many snow geese as a crisis.D. Hunting as many snow geese as possible.(3) What might biologists think about the marshes' future now?A. It's a bit promising.B. It's unpredictable.C. It' too discouraging.D.

Do you pour him a glass of coffee? Those could work. But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy—hugging."Individuals who reported noticing the availability of a network of supportive individuals tend to show better adaptation when faced with stress. But just because you have a support network does not mean that you absolutely feel that support, " said Michael Murphy, a psychology expert at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle anxiety and stress better.So Murphy and his team interviewed 404 men and women every evening for two weeks. During these interviews, the participants were asked a simple yes or no question—whether somebody had hugged them that day—and a simple yes or no question of whether they had experienced conflict with somebody that day. They also were asked to respond to questions about negative and positive mood states.And the researchers found that people who experienced a conflict were not as negatively affected if they received a hug that day as participants who experienced conflict and didn't get a hug. AndTAL#NBSP they were also found not to carry the negative effect to the next day, while those who did not receive one would. The findings are in the journal PLOS ONE.Murphy does include this warning: "So our findings should not be taken as proof that people should just start hugging anyone and everyone who seems upset. A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither agreeable nor positive. " The idea is to relieve stress. Not add to it.(1) What does paragraph 1 serve as?A.

AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. Th is personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socialising with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modestyoungster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “I n my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’ promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an e ffect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared toconventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternatives available to consumers.32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC. productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows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。
