南开中学2010届高三年级英语课堂强化训练4完形填空When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 1 me to do so. She said, Now is the time for you to travel around the world, _2your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I 3_ her.Since I started to work for a 4 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 5 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 6 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got 7 about food in different countries.Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were 8 necessary when I happened to read a famous cook'comment on the Internet. He said, ft is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 9 around us at the same. So why don' you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian 10?” Those words remindedme of my 11 advice. As information technology 12 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But thisalso means that you will miss the various 13 you can get from traveling.Today there are people who 14 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people 15 not with each other but into their microphones. It seems as if such people are 16_ by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to 17 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 18_ more fruitful. However, we should never let it ______________ 19 our time for face-to-face communication.

She quickly put it back in, but not before the camera recorded the event. Neither Spears nor her spokesman was willing to comment on the contents of the bottle, but the next morning London ' Daily Express published a page of pictures under the headline “ EXCLUSIVE: POP PRINCESS SPOTTED AT AIRPORT WITH POT OF SLIMMING TABLETS. ” Spears was apparently carrying Zantrex-3, one of the most popular weight-loss pills now sold in the United States. The pill, which is sold at about fifty dollars for a month 'supply, contains a huge amount of caffeine, some green tea, and three common South American herbs that also act as stimulants ( 兴奋剂).It hit the U.S. market last March and has had a success that would be hard to overstate . Millions of bottles have been sold, and during the Christmas season it was displayed in the windows of the nation ' largest chain of vitamin shops, G.N.C. (It is so highly sought after that many of the stores keep it in locked counters.) Zantrex-3 is also sold atCVS, Rite Aid,Wal-Mart, and other chains, and over the telephone and on the Internet. If you type “Zantrex into Google, more than a hundred thousand pieces of information about it will appear. At any moment, there are scores ofpeople sell it on eBay.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the success story of Zantrex-3, however, is that it is far from unique. There are hundreds of similar products on the market today, and they are bought by millions of Americans. And though Zantrex ' s producer makes some exciting statements ( “he most advanced weight control compound (化合物)period ” ), so do the people who sell Stacker 2 and Anorex along with those who sell Carb Eliminator and Fat Eliminator. Almost all of these compounds suggest that they can help people lose weight and regain lost energy, and often without diet, exercise, or any other effort.1. Britney Spears is a (an) ______ .A. dancerB. singerC. athleteD. chemist2. Which of the following is also a kind of weight-loss pill?A. CVSB. Rite AidC. Wal-MartD. Anorex3. The underlined part of the sentence in the first paragraph ismost likely similar in meaning to ______ .A. it is difficult to say how successful Zantrex-3 isB. you can ' t overstate the success of ZarrfBexC. you car ' t think too highly of the success of ZantrexD.

天津南开中学2020年高三英语模拟真题及答案
天津南开中学2020年高三英语模拟真题及答案做为一名高三学生，模拟真题是我们备战高考的重要辅助工具之一。
本文将为大家提供天津南开中学2020年高三英语模拟真题及答案。
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in oneof the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1.【A】The journey to America was hard for the immigrants on my mother's side. When they arrived at Ellis Island, the gateway for immigrants from Europe, there was a long line. Each person had a little brass tag around his neck with his name and address on it. There were buttons to push, like in a doorbell (门铃), to signal if he was sick or well. Men went in one line, women in another. There were hundreds of people going, and they were told to keep in line by some doctors, sitting at a high platform. My mother’s parents were told to go to the left. They went to the left because they were sick. Then their own names were called out. They were told to hurry, because they were going to miss the train. This was because they didn'tcome through the door fast enough! Imagine this: they were so sick that they had to go to the hospital, and then were pushed on a big train! Later on,when Americans asked them what country they came from, they scratchedtheir heads-- they had to think hard-- because of the Irish background, and because they had themselves gone to the train station in Dublin. Which, I must say, is not on the way to New York, but several miles further and trip took hours.【B】In another direction, at the same time, my father's parents were leaving Russia. Immigration was hard too for them. They had to hurry. The family, in Morocco (洛哥), because they said it was so far away, would keep sending tickets for them, but they must come right away! The old couple stood on the deck (甲板), waving and weeping. They never saw each other again. I asked my father once why they couldn't go back and Russia wasn't one of the bad countries. My father said once you leave your country, no matter how much you cry and wish, that's it, you can never go back.【C】When I was a little girl, I thought Ellis Island was heaven. It was where miracles happened. Immigrants had to walk up lots of stairs to get to heaven. Lots of them fell and broke their heads on the landing. Forty per cent of the people who went had to stay and go home.【D】It was closed in 1952. Over twenty million tickets were sold for the price of one. In the eighty years it was in business, twelve million of the immigrants were put in hospitals. Forty thousand of them died. Some were sick, but most of them got sick on Ellis Island. The doctors sprayed (灭菌液)with some kind of soap. It didn't do any good. When the workers asked them to spray that's all they did, put a dirty thumb on the squirt hole (喷孔). The immigrants, who had always before been so scared of doctors, ran away from them. Finally they passed some kind of law. That was after my mother's parents were well.【E】There was a scabby (发痂的) man in a top hat-- the postman. He was paid five cents to bring a letter to the new candy store. It seems so silly even to say that. The candy store always received the box and used to put it on the counter with the lid open. It must have been difficult for my mother to put the box back into the counter. Then she opened the lid and took a look at some letters with handwriting. The writing wasn't clear if father was married or not, married or not. If not married, she would wear black, if married-- well, she did have a new dress to wear to her father's funeral.【F】You can't even begin to understand if you were never an immigrant. Because it wasn't just the passage. It was what had led to the passage. It was that order should have had something to do with the just of things. It was that your own world, from one moment to the next, could be drowning in like a star's forever dimming the sea.1. At Ellis Island, immigrants had to wear a brass tag with their names and addresses.2. My mother's parents got on the wrong train because they came in late.3. Before they left Russia, my father's parents got tickets from the family in Morocco.4. When the workers were spraying with soap, some immigrants ran away from them.5. Over twenty million immigrants came through Ellis Island in eighty years.6. Forty percent of immigrants never got farther than Ellis Island.7. The workers sprayed the immigrants with soap using a dirty thumb.8. The doctors at Ellis Island put twelve million immigrants in hospitals.9. The postman delivered a box of letters to the new candy store.10. After my mother's parents got well, a law was passed to protect immigrants on Ellis Island.参考答案：1. 【A】2. 【A】3. 【B】4. 【D】5. 【D】6. 【C】7. 【D】8. 【D】9. 【E】10. 【D】以上是关于2020年天津南开中学高三英语模拟真题及答案的相关信息。

No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, oneof the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.1. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.A. an object for artistic creationB. a collection of poemsC. an unusual qualityD. a natural scene2. Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because_______ .A. they are close in style to works in ancient timesB. they look like works by 19th-century paintersC. they draw attention to common things in lifeD. they depend heavily on color photography3.

When using solar panels (电池板) that are powered by light, shadows can be boring because it means electricity can’t be created. However, researchers from the National University of Singapore have engineered a way to create power from the shadows present everywhere.A team of the university created a machine that can collect energy from shadows. It is created by placing a thin coating of gold onto silicon (硅). Like in a normal solar panel, when put in light, the silicon electrons (电子) become energized and the energized electrons then jump from the silicon to the gold. The voltage (电压) of the part of the machine that is placed in the light increases to the dark part and the electrons in the machine flow from high to low voltage. They are sent through an external circuit (外电路) creating a current that can be used to power another machine. The greater the contrast between light and dark, more energy is provided by the machine.The team isworking on improving the performance of the machine, borrowing approaches from solar panels to gather light. Increasing the amount of light the machines can receive allows them to better make use of shadows, as well as developing shadow energy collecting panels that can successfully gather from indoor lighting. The team is also researching the use of other materials other than gold to drop the price of the machine, meaning they would be more cost effective and easier to apply in society.Shadows are present everywhere and perhaps one day in the future we will be able to collect energy from them by placing the shadow-effect energy machine around the world in places that have been considered unfit for solar panels to work, or indoors. “A lot of people think that shadows are useless,” Tan says, but “anything can be useful, even shadows.”4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. Your best friend always stays with you after the sunrise.B. The shadow has the same function as the heart and brain.C. Shadows can stop solar panels from creating electricity.D. Researchers have found a way to create power from shadows.5. What is the key working principle of the machine mentioned in the text?A. The silicon produces electricity when it is in the light.B. The gold produces power with the help of the silicon.C. The energized electrons flow from high to low voltage.D. An external circuit creates current using another machine.6. How does the team improve the performance of the machine?A. Using solar panels in the machine.B. Increasing the amount of light received.C. Developing light energy collecting panels.D. Bringing down the price of gold.7. Which of the following is the best place to apply the machine?A. A gym.B. A park.C. A farm.D. A playground.CA new look for technology, Solestrom’s new high-tech swimsuits promise to stand out all summer long. First in their new products is Solestrom’s new SmartSwimCMUV Smart Bikini featuring a smart UV meter.The bikini collects UV information through a smart fabric belt and reports the UV index to the wearer with 0.01 exactness. The electronic parts are neatly built into the removable belt, and can be worn even underwater. Next in the list is a lower cost cousin, the SmartSwimCMUV Index Detector Bikini, which has UV sensitive beads that change color1 with the level of UV intensity. The reading gives more of a range rather than an exact number, but for those who simply need to know if the UV is low, moderate or high, this bikini fits the bill.It is now available in Banana Split, more color1 s may become available later in the season. And finally, what could be better than a beach tote with built in energy source? No need to suffer dead batteries in your MP3, just plug them into your Solar Powered Beach Tote for on-the-go mobile charging.

People who like to travel all over the world.C. People who love to buy goods online.D. People interested in the latest bag.DWhat is the secret of happiness? A new study finds that happiness comes from exercise. People who exercise actively bring themselves happiness equal to earning an extra $25,000 ayear.Instead of recording extra hours at work in hopes of getting a raise, maybe you should hit the gym instead, as it could make you just as happy as that extra money. An interesting new study, published in the Lancet, found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of well—being than those who are inactive-and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn $ 25,000 more per year.Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1.2milion Americans. They were asked, “How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past30 days. for example, due to stress, depression, or emotional problems?” Participants were also asked about their exercise habits and were able to choose from 75 diverse physical activities, including doing housework and childcare, running, weightlifting, andcycling. The researchers found that people who exercise regularly feel bad for an average of 35 days per year, while inactive people feel bad for an additional 18 days.All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden. Social physical activities（that is to say, team sports such as football, basketball, etc）had an even more positive effect, which can best help people relax mind.It is possible for some to get too much exercise. From Business Insider'sreport on the study. “The mental health of those participants who exercised for longer than three hours a day suffered more than that of those who weren't particularly physically active.” The ideal amount seems to be three to five training sessions per week. lasting 30 to 60 minutes each.But the conclusion should be that any amount helps, so don't stress about hitting that perfect balance: “All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden than not exercising.”12. The question asked in Paragraph one is meant to ______.A. introduce the researchersB. tell the secretC. draw a conclusionD. lead to the topic13. Which exercise below can help us relax mind most effectively?A. RunningB. Walking alone.C. Playing footballD. Keeping fit in the gym.14. According to the passage, the following are true EXCEPT that ______.A. people who exercise actively may feel bad for about 35 days per year.B. The more exercise you take, the higher mental health burden you will get.C. overdoing exercising will do harm to people's mental health.D. doing exercise is better than not doing it.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Exercise can bring as much pleasure as an income rise.B. The secret of happiness has nothing to do with wealth.C. Choosing the right form of exercise is of vital importance.D. The key to keep young is to exercise regularly.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Dust and chaff funnel into blinding clouds. The clatter of storms overhead makes it impossible to hear, and herds of bison (野牛) grow restless. The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations, and now, it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own. Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born. Not as a visitor, but as the region’s only doctor.When Susan was 8 years old, she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing in pain. A doctor was called for. They waited. A messenger was sent. The doctor still didn’t come. Susan provided what comfort she could through the night, but by sunrise, the elderly woman had died. The episode both haunted and motivated Susan. She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to what is now Hampton University in Virginia—a historically Black college with a program for native American students. And she finished second in her class.Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed, full of powwows, buffalo hunts and the people she loved. But there was further to go. She enrolled in the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, a tedious train ride away from the world she knew. It was 1886, and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women. In her graduation speech from Hampton, she told the East Coast audience, “Give us a chance.” Three years later, she became a doctor.Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task. She opened an office in the government boarding school and began seeing patients. The lines were long, old and young seeking reprieve (缓解) from cholera and tuberculosis (肺结核) as well as a slew of other diseases. Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow, walking miles to make house calls. Her work was more than as a physician. She often acted as lawyer, accountant, priest, political liaison and counselor as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world. And Dr. Susan La Flesche was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms. 41．What contributed to Susan’s being a doctor?A．Her poor family.B．Her desire for knowledge.C．The opposition to women’s progress.D．The lack of medical resources in her hometown.42．What can we infer about Susan from the third paragraph?A．She had an unhappy childhood.B．She enjoyed the train ride to her college.C．She got high marks in every exam.D．She encountered difficulties in her college life.43．What is the author’s purpose in describing diverse roles of Susan in Paragraph 4?A．To emphasize her lack of focus on her medical careerB．To suggest that she was overburdened with responsibilitiesC．To highlight her dedication to serving the community wholeheartedlyD．To showcase her adaptability in fulfilling various roles within her community 44．Which words can best describe Susan?A．Hard-working and helpful.B．Sensitive and modest.C．Serious and brave.D．Greedy and self-centred.45．What could be the best title for the passage?A．A Force of Nature: Dr. Susan La Flesche’s ImpactB．Winds of Change: Dr. Susan La Flesche’s LegacyC．The Resilient Doctor: Dr. Susan La Flesche’s TriumphD．Whispering Winds: Dr. Susan La Flesche’s Mysterious JourneyWhat if “looking your age” refers not to your face, but to your chest? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model that uses chest radiographs (光片) to assess a person’s biological age. More importantly, when it is different from the chronological age (实足年龄), it can signal a link with chronic (慢性的) diseases. These findings mark a breakthrough in medical imaging, paving the way for improved early disease detection and intervention.The research team, led by graduate student Yasuhito Mitsuyama and Dr. Daiju Ueda from the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka Metropolitan University, first constructed a deep learning-based AI model to estimate age from chest radiographs of healthy individuals. They then applied the model to radiographs of patients with known diseases to analyze the relationship between AI-estimated age and each disease. Given that AI trained on a single dataset tends to over fit, the researchers collected data from multiple institutions.For the development, training, internal and external testing of the AI model for age estimation, a total of 67,099 chest radiographs were obtained between 2008 and 2021 from 36,051 healthy individuals who underwent health check-ups at three facilities.To confirm the usefulness of AI-estimated age using chest radiographs as a biomarker, an additional 34,197 chest radiographs were collected from 34,197 patients with known diseasesfrom two other institutions. The results showed that the difference between AI-estimated age and the patient’s chronological age was positively correlated with a variety of chronic diseases. In other words, the higher the AI-estimated age compared to the chronological age, the more likely individuals were to have these diseases.“Chronological age is one of the most critical factors in medicine,” stated Mr. Mitsuyama. “Our results suggest that chest radiography-based apparent age may accurately reflect health conditions beyond chronological age. We aim to further develop this research and apply it to estimate the severity of chronic diseases, to predict life expectancy and to forecast possible surgical complications.”46．What is the AI model used to do?A．Tell a patient’s chronological age.B．Estimate an individual’s biological age.C．Develop advanced chest radiographs.D．Analyze individuals’ workout habits.47．What did the research team do for their research?A．They followed patients for over two decades.B．They obtained data from the same institution.C．They collected a large number of chest radiographs.D．They had face-to-face talks with healthy individuals.48．How did the research team know if individuals might be sick?A．By making comparisons. “B．By interviewing their doctors.C．By observing them in their lab.D．By analyzing causes and effects.49．What do the researchers aim to do with their research findings in the future?A．Develop a new AI model for facial recognition.B．Apply the research to estimate the severity of acute diseases.C．Predict the weather using AI technology.D．Apply the research to estimate the severity of chronic diseases and predict life expectancy. 50．Which of the following statement does Mr. Mitsuyama agree with?A．The research is too complex to be carried out widely.B．The AI model is expected to have a promising future.C．Chronological age matters more than Al-estimated age.D．The research findings have been well received in medicine.Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice.51．What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?A．People should offer mercy to others.B．Aggressive people should learn to forgive.C．Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.D．People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.52．What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate?A．To forgive is to love.B．To dominate is to harm.C．To fight is to grow.D．To give is to receive.53．What does the underlined word “estranged” mean in the passage?A．Connected and harmonious.B．Separated and disconnected.C．Forgiving and loving.D．Aggressive and hostile.54．What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?A．Favorable.B．Reserved.C．Objective.D．Skeptical. 55．What is message of the last paragraph?A．Forgiveness is in our nature.B．Forgiveness grows with time.C．It takes practice to forgive.D．Actuality is based on potentiality.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题At just 17, Lauren Schroeder has already made a significant impact on her community. Her voyage began at 14, volunteering at a food shelter. While packing boxes with canned goods for needy families, Lauren detected a substantial shortage: fresh vegetables. This observation sparked an idea that soon grew into a community-wide initiative.Lauren pictured transforming part of her family’s 150-acre farm into a garden committed to growing produce for local families. Her proposal was met with a hint of concern from her mother, Katie Schroeder. While supportive, she also foresaw the extensive labor involved. Despite the agricultural background—her family typically planted soybeans and corn—vegetable cultivation was a novel pursuit. Nevertheless, Lauren was eager to tackle the nutritional deficiency she had uncovered.The hard work began in earnest. Not discouraged by potential obstacles, Lauren dived intoresearch to be a seasoned vegetable cultivator and secured a grant (拨款) from the National FFA Organization to cover initial costs. Subsequently, she spent two to three hours daily watering her crops by hand through the hot Iowa summers, sandwiching this commitment between softball practices. Furthermore, she carefully tended to her garden, combating weeds and harvesting crops, with green beans proving particularly challenging.Eventually, with assistance from her younger brothers and sisters, Lauren’s half-acre garden produced 15 varieties of vegetables. In its first year, the garden generated 40 pounds of produce, benefiting food banks, nursing homes, and soup kitchens.Motivated by the early achievements, Lauren doubled the garden’s size. To date, she has donated over 7,000 pounds of produce, valued at approximately $15,000, commanding community respect. Her work has found a deep echo among others, notably a mother from a local shelter who was grateful for the fresh food that reminded her children of home.Lauren’s inspiration is straightforward yet deep-seated. “I wanted to have something that would impact people,” she told KWQC．Her actions demonstrate her belief in the power of community and the joy obtained from helping others—a feeling that will undoubtedly shape her future initiatives.56．Why did Lauren initiate the community garden? (no more than 10 words)57．How did Lauren overcome her lack of experience in vegetable farming? (no more than5words)58．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3? (1 word)59．What is the main idea of Paragraphs 3 and 4? (no more than 10 words)60．What can you do for your community? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)四、书信写作61．假如你是晨光中学的学生李津。

Great, I thought, imagining hours spent pawing through dusty, rotting boxes and listening to boring stories about people I didn't know. "You'll be surprised," my mom promised, "Family histories can be very interesting."In truth, Grandpa didn't want to limit my work to just research, hoping to also preserve our family memories. He'd discovered a computer program that helps digitally scan old pictures and letters to preserve their contents before they crumble from old age. Grandpa wanted me to help him connect the scanner and set up the computer program. He could type documents and send emails, but had never used a scanner.Soon after, I became fascinated with my relatives' lives. I asked Grandpa to tell the story behind every picture and letter we scanned. The stories, which turned out not to be boring at all, helped me not only understand but also relate to my relatives. I became so hungry for more information that Grandpa needed additional props to keep me satisfied. He showed me a chest filled with random stuff, all covered in dust.Perusing through their belongings, I felt I was opening a window into the world of my relatives, a world long since gone. Grandpa showed me a bundle of letters he had sent to Grandma from the front lines of World War II and I could almost smell the gunpowder. I turned the pages of my great-grandmother's recipe book and could picture her cooking in her kitchen. All of the people who had been merely names to me now had faces to match.Later, Grandpa admitted, "I probably could have done this project myself. I just wanted someone to share it with." I can't thank him enough for sharing the experience and making me appreciate the family members who have made me the person I am. I will cherish family memories and hope that someday will be able to pass them down to my own grandchildren.41.

What can we learn about Grandpa from the passage?A．He used to serve in the army. B．He knew nothing about computer.C．He buried the letters under gunpowder. D．He loved sharing what he had withothers.45. The best title of the passage is _______.A．Precious family memories B．My grandpa and his belongingsC．My grandpa and his family tree D．Helping my grandpa in summerLosing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, say s Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow. Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved.” Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to driv e to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stop page of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medicine like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own, Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says.“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways,” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.46. Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips?A．Because not all of them are symptoms of dementia.B．Because they occur only among certain groups of people.C．Because not all of them are related to one’s age.D．Because they are quite common among fifty-year-olds.47. What happens as we become aged according to the passage?A．Our interaction skills become worse.B．Some parts of our brain stop functioning.C．Communication within our brain weakens.D．Our whole brain starts shrinking.48. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A．Totally forgetting how to do once’s daily routines.B．Inability to recall details of one’s life experiences.C．Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D．Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends.49. When signs of serious memory loss show up, people should ________.A．check the brain’s cognitive reserve.B．stop medications affecting memory.C．turn to a professional for assistance.D．exercise to improve their well-being.50. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice for preventing memory loss?A．Having regular physical and mental checkups.B．Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain.C．Engaging in know n memory repair activities.D．Staying active both physically and mentally.Most of us in the enterprising community are blessed—or harmed—with higher-than average ambition. Ambitious people strongly desire accomplishments and are willing to take more risks and spend more effort to get them.Overall, this is a positive quality, especially for people trying to build their own businesses. Apparently, if you’re more naturally driven to set goals, you are more likely to succeed.Actually, this isn’t always the case. In fact, in some cases, extreme ambition may end up doing more harm than good.One major side effect of excessive ambition is the tendency to focus too determinedly on one particular vision or end goal. This is problematic because it prevents your ability to adapt to new circumstances, which is vital if you want to be a successful entrepreneur (创业者). If a new competitor emerges to threaten your business, you may need to change direction, even if that means moving away from your original vision. If you have too much ambition, you’ll find this hard, if not impossible.Few people are successful when they try to build their first brand. Unfortunately, for the most ambitious entrepreneurs, a failure is seen as disastrous and impossible to recover from.It’s a clear departure from the intended plan to ward the intended goal. For people with limited ambition, however, failure is viewed as something closer to reality. Remember, failure is unavoidable, and every failure you survive is a learning experience.Ambitious people tend to be more successful in material wealth than non-ambitious ones. However, they’re only slightly happier than their less-ambitious counterparts, and tend to live significantly shorter lives. This implies that even though ambitious people are more likely to achieve conventional “success,” such success means nothing for their health and happiness—and if you don’t have health and happiness. wh at else could possibly matter?Clearly, some amount of ambition is good for your motivation. Without any ambition, you wouldn’t start your own business, set or achieve goals and get far in life. But inappropriate ambition can also be dangerous, putting you at risk of burnout, stubbornness and even a shorter life.51. What does the author think of most entrepreneurs?A．They are more willing to risk their own lives. B．They are more ambitious than ordinary people.C．They achieve greater nonconventional success. D．They have more positive qualities than most of us.52. What does the author imply by saying “this isn’t always the case” in Paragraph 3?A．Ambitious people may not have a greater chance of success.B．Ambitious people may not have more positive qualities.C．Entrepreneurs’ ambition docs as much good as harm.D．Entrepreneurs are more naturally driven to success.53. What does the author say is of extreme importance for one to become a successful entrepreneur?A．Holding on to once’s original visi on. B．Being able to adapt to new situations.C．Focusing determinedly on one particular goal. D．Avoiding total change in one’s career direction.54. How do the most ambitious entrepreneurs regard failure in their efforts?A．It will awaken them to reality. B．It is a lesson they have to learn.C．It means the end of their career. D．It will result in a slow recovery.55. What does the author advise us to do concerning ambition?A．Distinguish between conventional success and our life goal.B．Follow the example of the most ambitious entrepreneurs.C．Avoid taking unnecessary risks when starting a business.D．Prioritize health and happiness over material success.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

World-class．BJanet Fein, aged 84, received her bachelor's degree from the University last week, having waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.Growing up in the Bronx area ofNew York City, Fein worked at a dress manufacturer after graduating early at the age of 16. After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs through her life, including 20 years as a secretary at a hospital until her retirement at age 77.Fein has had a full life. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology because she felt it was “substantial.”Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texasand kept going to class even as her health conditions worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she required oxygen. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.Sheila Rollerson, Fein' scollege advisor, and Carol, the professor told the media that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. She would speak up a lot in class and it just made for a more interesting class.Fein has also inspired Renee Brown, one of Fein's caregivers. At 53, Renee plans to begin nursing school to further her career. “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you can do it, and you will feel so good about it,” Brown remembers what Fein told her.4. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Janet Fein's growthB. Janet Fein's aimC. Janet Fein's job experiencesD. Janet Fein's regrets5. What does the underlined phrase “substantial” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. InterestingB. ValuableC. EasyD. Affordable6. What can be learned about Fein according to the passage?A. Fein lived on little money after her retirement.B. Fein had a problem with her arms while at universities.C. The Internet played a role in Fein's university education.D. The good health helped Fein get her bachelor's degree.7. What is Janet Fein like according to the passage?A. Hardworking and humorous.B. Determined and generous.C. Positive and patient.D. Inspiring and perseverant.CThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, thefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broader society.For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processinginformation, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.8. The first two paragraphs suggest that________.A. bad medical outcomes affect doctorsB delivering babies can be difficult workC. some doctors are not very experiencedD. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes9. In the blood-thinner study, doctors________.A. tend to prescribe less effective medicineB. are more concerned about the patients' safetyC. become less confident in writing a prescriptionD. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding10. What does the underlined word ''fallout'' in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ResultB. BenefitC. DifferenceD. Absence11. The author will probably agree that________.A. we should not doubt our own decisionsB. our experience will pave way for our futureC. humans are emotional and irrational on the wholeD. instincts don't necessarily lead to wrong directionsDThe cumulative rainfall in Henan province during the four days was the highest since the province has records, the provincial meteorological service said. The rain was heaviest in the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, for a short period on Monday and Tuesday. Northern, western and central parts of Henan also experienced downpours, the service said. Zhengzhou's biggest one-hour precipitation (降水量) —201.9 mmbetween 4 and 5 pm on Tuesday—was also the highest on the Chinese mainland. The previous record was 198.5 mmin the village ofLinzhuang in Zhumadian in August 1975, the National Meteorological Center said. The city's precipitation duringthe four days exceeded that of its average annual precipitation, the center said.Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center, said abundant water vapor (水蒸气) brought by Typhoon In-Fa and the province's special geographical features led to Henan's rain. “Partly affected by the typhoon, large amounts of water vapor have been transported to China's inland areas, including Henan,” he said.From Thursday to Monday, rain was forecast to continue in Henan. However, rainfall will gradually subside in Zhengzhou and the province's northern and central regions, though the storms will increase the risk of mountain torrents and other geological disasters. By Monday, lighter rain is forecast for parts of Henan, the provincial weather service said. However, local authorities are still urged to bevigilantand prepare to prevent or cope with flooding and other possible disasters.Predicting such weather events remains a challenge worldwide because it involves many meteorological phenomena, the center said. “The formation of this kind of extreme weather, including rainstorms and high temperatures, is complex,” Chen said. “We still lack effective solutions and methods for such forecasting”, he said. “We are now putting a lot of effort into tackling the difficulty. We believe that as the technology improves, we can better forecast the events.”12. What message does the author mainly want to convey in the first paragraph?A. heavy rain fell in Zhengzhou.B. The rain in Henan lasted four days.C. Zhumadian also suffered the similar heavy rain.D. Henan experienced the biggest rainfall of all time.13. What can be indicated from Chen Tao's words?A. It is not easy to forecast the extreme weather.B The rain of Henan is mainly caused by Typhoon In-Fa.C. The center hasn't put a lot of effort into solving the problem.D. Rainstorms and high temperatures can account for the heavy rain.14. What does the underlined word “vigilant” probably mean?A. Relaxed.B. Alert.C. Reluctant.D. Communicative.15. Where might the text be most probably taken from?A. history book.B. A novel.C. A news report.D. A science magazine.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
