I'd meet someone and the person would change my life, but I had no idea about that then.My eyes shone with excitement. Hanging on to the wall, I joined the rest of the group for the beginning of the lesson.“Good morning, everyone! " a young woman said. "I'm Laura. I'll be your skating teacher! I'll sk ate from one end of the rink to the other. Watch closely.” Pushing off on her right skate, she glided(滑)to the other end of the rink. Laura turned back to us. "Now, I want you to skate one by one.” The older and more experienced children pushed their way to the front of the line while I was moving back, not letting go of the wall.“There’s no way I can do this. I should just give up”, I kept saying to myself. Finally, I was the only one left. Laura skated over to me and said, “You can do it! Just let go of the wall.”“But what if I fall?” I asked.“Listen! You cannot be afraid of falling, because if you never fall, you'll never improve,” Laura said. I believed her and did it.After that, I never missed a lesson on Saturday and now I' m pretty good at ice skating.16. What does the underlined sentence mean?A.

To succeed, we should beat fear and keep trying.BPiggy banks have been around for a long time, but did you ever wonder why people thought to make their banks in the shape of a pig?Pig have nothing to do with money. They don’t store food like a camel(骆驼) or a squirrel(松鼠). So how did we end up using a pig as the style of a bank? Believe it or not, it happened by mistake.During the 15th century, metal was very expensive. Dishes and pots were made of a type of inexpensive clay(粘土) called “pygg”, which was pronounced just like “pig”. At that time, there weren't banks like we have today, so people would store their money at home.When people had extra coins to save, they would place them in clay jars or pots. Since the type of clay was called pygg, people called the jars “pygg banks”. Over time this developed into piggy banks.After a few hundred years, people forgot that the word “pygg” referred to the clay the banks were made from. The English language was also changing and the word “pig” was more commonly used. So in the nineteenth century, when English potter(陶艺家) began to make piggy banks, they thought their customers were asking for banks in the shape of pigs, not banks make from pygg.Today piggy banks are made from all kinds of materials, and they also come in a variety of shapes and animals. But the t erm “piggy bank” is still used.19. What is pygg?A. A type of metal that was used to make banks.B. A type of clay that was used to make dishes and pots.C. A place to store money.D. A pink farm animal with a long nose.20. Which are two ways that piggy banks today are different from the ones a few hundred years ago?①material ②prize ③color ④shapes and animalsA. ①②B. ②③C. ③④D. ①④21. Who is the most responsible for making banks in the shape of pigs?A. Pottery makers who worked with orange clay.B. Pottery makers who didn’t know what pygg was.C. Customers who wanted banks with cute animal shapes.D. Bankers who wanted something to keep people’s money in.22. You can see the passage_________.A. on a school notice boardB. on a movie posterC. in a history magazineD. in a company introductionCJane has been living in China for more than two years and she has come to know some of the differences between Western and Chinese culture. Here is what she has to say about this.In China people often try t avoid conflicts. If somebody does something you don’t like, you may be upset, but you should hide it, keep it inside, and act like nothing is wrong. If you must do something about it, you should not talk to the person directly, but rather talk to someone else who will then talk with them. However, in the Western countries things are different. If someone does something I don't like, will tell them so. I may say it nicely or I may get very angry, but at least I will do something. Also, I won’t talk to other persons about it and instead will talk to the person directly. In fact, in the Western countries, if you say something bad about someone to someone else, it is thought that you have bad character(品质).A very good example of this comes from my first year of teaching in China. I knew I did not have a lot of experience in teaching and that I probably made many mistakes, so I asked them if I was doing wrong, what I should do better and so on. However, every time I asked, they said, “you are doing a wonderful job.” I really expected someone to tell me something to help me improve, but after that, people started telling me that the leader was not satisfied with my work. A few months later, I got a letter saying that my teaching was not good enough and that I would no longer be able to teach at the school. I was so surprised that I didn’t know how to handle it.”She also told me another thing, “Every time I go out,” people ask, “Where are you going?” I am really tired of these. It’s time for us to pay more attention to the cultural differences.23. The underlined word “this” in the passage refers to________.A. Jane’s teaching experience in ChinaB. in China people often try to avoid conflictsC. the differences between Western and Chinese cultureD. a very good example of Jane’s24. The passage is mainly about _________.A. how the Chinese have bad charactersB. how the Chinese and the American can’t get along well with each otherC. how the East and West are different from each otherD. what the cultural differences are from25. From the passage we know that__________.A. a friendly greeting in China may be something impolite foreignersB. foreigners all want to know about Chinese cultureC. Chinese people should not greet foreignersD. Westerners should not talk to people directly26. When something wrong happens, Westerners usually_______.A. talk about it with other peopleB. hide it inside and won’t talk about itC. talk about it directly with the people involvedD. get very angry but do nothingDHave you ever wondered why big heavy airplanes can fly? Why do planes have to move so fast in a runway before they can take off?When a plane moves into the wind, the wings cut the air in half. Some air travels above the wing, some air travels below the wings as shown in the picture below.Plane wings are built to be curved(弧形的) on top and flat(扁平的) on the bottom. The wind, or airstream, flowing over the wings travels a different path from air traveling under the wings. This difference in the path of the wind, creates lower air pressure above the wings as shown in the picture. The higher air pressure under the wings lifts the plane into the air creating lift. When there is enough lift to overcome gravity, the plane takes off.All the time, the plane is being slowed down by having to push through the air. This is called drag, and the engines have to overcome it.As long as the plane continues to move forward at a fast enough speed, the plane continues to fly.Planes use engines to move quickly down the runway to create the lift for taking off. Helicopters(直升机) rotate(旋转) their wings(or blades). The rotating motion forces air past the wings to create lift.27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about plane wings?A. Air below the wings travels slower than the air above the wings.B. Plane wings are curved on both sides.C. The air pressure under the wings is higher than that above the wings.D. The winds flowing over or under the wings travel differently.28. The underlined word “gravity” in the passage probably means “________” in ChineseA.拉力B.压力C.重力D.阻力29. To make the plane fly, what do the engines have to overcome?A. Being slowed down while pushing through the airB. Not having a fast enough speed.C. Higher air pressure above the wings.D. There is too much lift.30. What's the main purpose of the passage?A. To show us in what way the plane flies in the sky.B. To introduce us what plane wings look like.C. To tell us how an airplane takes off and what makes it fly.D. To give us some common knowledge of air pressure.第二节(共5小题每小题2分,满分10分下列文章中有五处(第31-35题)需要添加首句。

Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some petty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family. “I wish you a happy New Year.”saidEdward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head. “You are not from this country?”said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像)to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man and the other to his wife. They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.” When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. “I have bought no books,” said he, “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”“My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are some books, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-Year gift”.“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”1.Edward expected to ________ with the money he got from his father.A. help the poor familyB. buy something to eatC. buy some pretty booksD. learn another language2.

杭州市保俶塔实验学校2019-2020学年第一学期九年级英语第五单元试题卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AI remember the green coat in my fifth and sixth grades.When I needed a new jacket, my mother asked what kind I wanted. I described something like bikers wear. She listened long. I thought she understood for sure the kind I wanted.The next day when I got home from school, I discovered, on m y bed, a jacket which was not what I had expected. I went close to the jacket slowly, as if it were a stranger.From the kitchen mother shouted that my jacket was in the closet. I rushed and pulled at the clothes in the closet, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn’t for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I’d have to wear it a long time before I’d have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子), turning right and left. I looked ugly.I threw it on my brother’s bed and looked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a “thank you” to my mom.The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, looked at me for a long time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers looked my way and talked about how foolish I looked in my new jacket. When it was time for the whole school to get together on the playground, ▲ . Although they didn’t say out loud, “Man, that’s ugly!” I heard their talk and even laughter.And so I went, in my jacket. So embarrassed, so hurt, I couldn’t even do my lessons the rest of the day. I received Cs on tests.I wore that thing for three years. All in those years no love came to me.I blamed(指责)that jacket for those bad years. I blamed my mother for her bad taste and her cheap ways. It was a sad time for the heart. Anyway, I spent my sixth-grade year, looking forward to something good to happen to me.And it was about that time I began to grow, still in that green ugly jacket, which had become my brother who went along wherever I went.16. The writer went to school in the new jacket because _______.A. his jacket was too old and smallB. his brother asked him to do soC. he wanted to show it to his friendsD. he would act in school play17.

The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖)a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn't know each other well-Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground. "Paris's eyes rolled back," Taylor says. "She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency."It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock .Then the softball coach shouted Out , “Does anyone know CPR？”CPR is a life-saving technique to do CPR, you press on the sick person's chest so that blood moves through the and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn't think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. "It was scary. I knew it was the difference life and death," says Taylor.Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris's heartbeat returned.“I Know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. "Most people don't survive this. My team saved my life”Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly .Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. "I feel more confident in my actions now," Taylor says. “I Know I can act under pressure ina scary situation."20.What happened to Paris on a March day？A. She caught a bad coldB.

The first C919aircraft can carry 168 passengers and is able to fly a distance between 4,075and 5,555 kilometers. It’s reported that a C919 costs around 50 million dollars, less than half of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. Up to now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers, mostly Chinese, but also American and Thai companies or airlines. COMAG aims to take one fifth of the world’s narrow-body aircraft market and one third of the Chinese market by 2035.The name G919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both “COMAC”“China”. The number 9 is pronounced as j iu in Chinese, which means “forever”. And the number 19 refers to its capacity (容量)of 190 passengers.The large passenger aircraft is praised as “ the flower of modern industry ”. It is a symbol of the nation’s industrial and technological standards as well as the comprehensive (综合的)power. In order to realize the century dream of flying in the sky and the strategy (战略)of the nation, COMAC bears t he nation’s dream and people’s trust. Chin a considers it as a national pride.23.Which of the following is TRUE about the first C919 aircraft?A. It can carry 190 passengers at most.B. It can only fly a distance of 4,075 km.C. It costs less than half of a Boeing 737.D. It costs more than half of an Airbus A320.24. Which picture shows COMICs aim to take the narrow-body aircraft market by 2035?25.The letter C in C919 stands for______.A.“company”B. bot h “COMAC”and “China”C.“customer”D. both“cost” and “capacity”26.The news report is written mainly to ___________.A. introduce the design of C919B. describe the first flight of C919C. explain “the flower of modern industry”D. show China’s achieve ments in aircraft industry【答案】CCBDDImagine having a ear made out of an apple.It seems like a crazy idea from a horror movie.But it could happen in the near future.Canadian biophysicist Andrew Polling used an apple to grow a human ear.He think fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.Scientists have been trying to grow organs（器官）in labs to replace our old ones.But it is a hard job.For example,liver cells（肝细胞）can grow in a lab,but he cells still need things like blood vessels（血管）to actually work.These things have to grow inside a scaffold（支架）.In the past,scientists have used man-made materials,animals parts and even dead people as scaffolds.But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.Polling and his team,however,found the apple to be a cheap and easy-to-use scaffold.They first cut an apple into the shape of an ear.Then they used a special way to take out the apple's cell and make it a scaffold.The team then added human cells to the apple,and watched it grow."You can implant these scaffolds into the body,and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive,"Polling said during a Ted Talk speech.The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse's cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.Now Polling is thinking of other fruit,plants or vegetables to use.He says that the shape of flower petals could be perfect for repairing skin.And asparagus（芦笋）could fix a broken spine（脊柱）.Now,Polling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality.( )27.Polling's idea of man-made ear seems crazy because he use ______ as scaffolds.A. animal partsB. dead peopleC. man-made materialsD. ordinary apples( )28. The underlined word"implant"in Paragraph 7probably means ______ .A. pickB. putC. produceD. protect( )29.Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passage？ ______a.put the apple scaffold inside a mouseb.add human cells to the apple scaffoldc.cut an apple into the shape of an eard.make the apple ear a scaffolde.take out the apple's cells in a special wayA. a-b-c-d-eB. b-c-d-a-eC. c-e-d-b-aD. c-d-a-e-b( )30. From the last three paragraphs,we can infer that Pelling will experiment with other fruit,plants or vegetables ______ .A. to make human earsB. to repair burnt skinC. to fix a broken spineD. to make human body parts.【答案】DBCD第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文意中有五处（第31一35题）需要添加前句。

Minu Pauline, who runsPappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree,“tree of goodness”.The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long it’s been there. But most food doesn’t stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge res ponse from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauline herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late one night when she saw a lady searching in a trashcan(垃圾箱) for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to.“The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge. But I’d rather people put their food they bought but aren’t going t o eat in the fridge instead of the trashcan,” she said.19.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.a tree planted on March 23B.the fridge outside for the hungry to take from.C.the popular restaurant in Kochi,IndiaD.a neighboring tree near Pappadavada20.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to Phyllis?A.Anyone who feels hungry can take the food at anytime.B.People donate the food with the date when they left it.C.People in the community made a huge response to the idea.D.Most of the food in the fridge is offered by people around.21.What does the manager of the restaurant advises in the last paragraph ?A.people should never throw foods into dustbinB.everyone should always avoid wasteC.people shouldn’t buy extra food for helpingD.everyone should help those in need22.Where probably can we read this passage?A.A story bookB.A fashion magazineC.A local newspaperD.A guide bookCCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word "cold".For example, people who show no human emotions or feelings are said to be cold-blooded.Cold can affect other parts of the body.But the expressi on”get cold feet”has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be CEO of a company. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned(辞职),and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility(责任). You are likely to gel cold feet about being CEO when you understand the situation.The expression "give someone the cold shoulder"probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise: he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others."A cold fish" is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and show no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone."Out in the cold" means not getting something that everybody elsegot.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.23.If you get cold feet,this means that____.A.you feel brave to do somethingB.you feel too nervous to do somethingC.you feel too cold to do somethingD.you feel very angry about doing something24.Henry invited Mary to go out but was refused.We can say Henry____.A.was cold bloodedB.was given the cold shoulderC.was a cold fishD.was out in the cold25.What’s the passage mainly about?A.Opinions about cold weatherB.Expressions connected with “cold”C.Relation between cold and bodyD.Examples of people who have a cold26.Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?(P-paragraph)DMany have heard of shark’s fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark’s fin soup?When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. This method is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shar k’s fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark’s fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help save the sharks!27.Which of the following might NOT be the reason for the popularity of shark fin soup?A.The dish is very deliciousB.It is proved to be good for healthlions of shark are traded every yearD.The dish is expensive and famous28.What does the underlined word mean?A.be hardly seen or knownB.show no kindness or forgivenessC.cause waste and pollutionD.be important or serious29.According to the article,which of the following is true?A.Sharks can never be endangeredB.Sharks always bring danger to the ocean lifeC.It’s possible for sharks to swim without finsD.The number of sharks has reduced a lot30.What’s the purpose of the article?A.Explain why people enjoy shark fin soupB.Introduce more facts about shark fin soupC.Remind people to save the sharksD.Suggest people pay more attention to environment第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)下面文章中有五处(第31-35题)需要添加首句。
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高三英语期末试卷及答案
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高三英语期末试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASheffieldLincoln College of EnglishClasses for foreign students at all levels.3 months, 6 months, 9 months and one year course.Open all year.Small class (at most 12 students).Library, language laboratory and listening center.Accommodation (住宿)with selected families.25 minutes from London.Course fees for English for one year are￡1,380 with reduction for shorter periods of study.1.This passage is probably taken from _______.A.an advertisementB.a noticeC.a posterD.a piece of news2.Who will be accepted by this college?A.Both foreign and native students.B.Only foreign beginners and the advanced.C.Foreign students from beginners to the advanced.D.Only foreign students advanced.3.While you stay there, who will take care of you?A.Your parents.B.Your classmates.C.The school where you study.D.The family you have chosen.BIf you struggle to fall asleep quickly, you’re not alone! Fortunately, thereare plenty of solutions you can try. With a few changes, you can fall asleep fast every night!Keep your room dark. Turn off all the lights above your head when you go to bed. Any bright light can makeyou believe it is too early in the day for sleep. If you want to read or write before bed, try using a small book light. Now that blue lights can keep you awake, red ones are a great choice.If you can, keep noise in and around your room the lowest at night. If you have an old clock that ticks loudly and keeps you awake, replace it with a silent one. If you share your home with anyone else, request that they keep noises like talking, music, or TV shows at the lowest while you are trying to sleep. It is difficult to fall asleep if you live near a busy road or hear other boring sounds after bedtime. You could get a white noise machine or play recordings of nature sounds, like waves or whales’ singing. You could also listen to soft, relaxing music.Read a book in bed if you have difficulty in falling asleep. Staying in bed doing nothing when you’re having trouble falling asleep may keep you wide awake. While reading in bed may be slightly harmful to your eyes, it can distract (分散) you from your thoughts and help you feel sleepy. But remember to read from a print book rather than something with a screen. The light from electronic screens can keep you awake.Lowering your body temperature helps you sleep, so set the room temperature between 15.5℃-21℃could do the trick.4. What color1 book light should you choose toread before bed?A. Red.B. Blue.C. White.D. Orange.5. What is the author’s attitude towards reading in bed?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Favorable.D. Uncaring.6. What can we inferred from the text?A. Reading on cellphones sometimes helps you fall asleep.B. The lower your temperature while sleeping is, the better.C. Bright lights are better for your reading before going to bed.D. Playing recordings like birds’ singing can improve your sleep.7. How does the author organize the text?A. By givingexamples.B. By asking questions.C. By offering suggestions.D. By listing research results.CDengue is a very painful illness spread by mosquitoes. In severe cases, dengue can even be deadly. Dengue is a serious disease affecting people in around 120 countries. It can cause high fevers, headaches, and severe pain.It’s caused by a virus spread by bites from mosquitoes. Therefore, dengue is more common in warm areas. Every year, roughly 390 million people get dengue, and as many as 25,000 die from it.Now scientists seem to have found a way to protect humans from dengue by first protecting mosquitoes. Dengue fever is caused by a virus. Though it may seem strange to think of it this way, the mosquitoes that spread the dengue virus are also infected with it. But the virus doesn’t seem to hurt the mosquitoes.Wolbachia is a kind of bacteria commonly found in many insects. In some insects, Wolbachia can keep some viruses fromduplicatingthemselves, which is how viruses grow inside a body. Wolbachia isn’t naturally found in mosquitoes. But by infecting these mosquitoes with Wolbachia, scientists can keep the mosquitoes from catching the dengue virus. Even better, the young mosquitoes coming from the eggs of the infected mosquitoes also carry Wolbachia.Researchers working with the World Mosquito Program (WMP) ran a 27-month study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. They split a 10-square-mile area up into 24 smaller areas. In half of the areas, the scientists did nothing. In the other half, they set out containers of eggs from mosquitoes that had Wolbachia. They did this every two weeks for just 4 to 6 months.Ten months later, 80% of the mosquitoes in the treated areas carried Wolbachia. The researchers report the number of dengue cases in the treated areas was reduced by 77% and that the number of people needing hospital care for dengue dropped by 86%.Because the results of the experiment were so good, the WHO has placed Wolbachia-infected mosquito eggs in all parts of Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. The WHO says that within a year, their efforts will protect 2.5 million people against dengue and that their efforts will be turned into a program that can be repeated worldwide.8. What kind of disease is dengue?A. It is likely to cause death.B. It causes no pain but fevers.C. It happens less often in hot areas.D. It hurts both people and mosquitoes.9. The underlined word “duplicating” in paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.A. worsening the harm ofB. expanding the size ofC. increasing forces ofD. making copies of10. What can be inferred about the method from the figures listed in paragraph 5?A. Its wide use.B. Its effectiveness.C. Its complexity.D.Its easy operation.11. What’s the WHO’s attitude towards the method?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Tolerant.D. Skeptical.DThermoelectric generators turn waste heat into electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions, like a free lunch. But the high cost of these devices has prevented their widespread use. Now, researchers have found a way to make cheap thermae-lectrices that work just as well. The work could pave the way for greener car engines, and other energy-generating devices.“This looks like a very smart way to realize high performance,” says Li-Dong Zhao, a materials scientist. He notes there are still a few more steps before these materials can become high-performing. However, he says, “This will be used in the not too far future.”Thermoelectrics are semiconductor devices placed on a hot surface. That gives them a hot side and a cool side. If a device allows the hot side to warm up the cool side, the electricity stops flowing. A device’s success at preventing this, as well as its ability to conduct electrons, feeds into a score known as the figure of merit, or ZT.Researchers have produced thermoelectric materials with increasing ZTs. The record came in 2014 when Mercouri Kanatzidis came up with a tin selenide with a ZT of 3.1. Yet the material was too fragile to work with. “For practical applications, it’s a non-star-ter,” Kanatzidis says.Getting through that door will still take some time. The tin selenide the team makes is mixed with Na, creating a “p-type” material that conducts positive charges. To make working devices, researchers also need an “n-type” version to conduct negative charges.Zhao’s team is now working on making an n-type version. Once successful, researchers should have a clear path to making a new generation of super-efficient thermoelectric genera-tors. Those could be installed everywhere from automobile exhaust pipes to water heaters and industrial smelters toscavengesome of the 65% of fossil fuel energy that winds up as waste heat.12. The first paragraph wants to tell us________.A. The wide use of thermoelectric generatorsB. The devices of current thermoelectric generatorsC. The reason why researchers make cheap thermoelectricsD. The greener car engines that contribute to environmental protection13. How does Li-Dong Zhao feel about cheap thermoelectric generators?A. Indifferent.B. Optimistic.C. Critical.D. Worried.14. What do you know about the research in 2014 from paragraph 4 and 5?A. It was far from a success for practical applications.B. A tin selenide with a ZT of 3.1 can be easy to work with.C. Researchers made an “n-type” version to make working devicesD. A “p-type” material made from the tin selenide conducts negative charges15. What does the underlined word “scavenge” in the last paragraph mean?A. Recycle.B. Produce.C. Clean.D. Increase.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。

Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree,“tree of goodness”.The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long it’s been there. But most food doesn’t stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauline herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late one night when she saw a lady searching in a trashcan(垃圾箱) for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to.“The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge. But I’d rather people put their food they bought but aren’t going to eat in the fridge instead of the trashcan,” she said.19.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.a tree planted on March 23B.the fridge outside for the hungry to take from.C.the popular restaurant in Kochi,IndiaD.a neighboring tree near Pappadavada20.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to Phyllis?A.Anyone who feels hungry can take the food at anytime.B.People donate the food with the date when they left it.C.People in the community made a huge response to the idea.D.Most of the food in the fridge is offered by people around.21.What does the manager of the restaurant advises in the last paragraph ?A.people should never throw foods into dustbinB.everyone should always avoid wasteC.people shouldn’t buy extra food for helpingD.everyone should help those in need22.Where probably can we read this passage?A.A story bookB.A fashion magazineC.A local newspaperD.A guide bookCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word "cold".For example, people who show no human emotions or feelings are said to be cold-blooded.Cold can affect other parts of the body.But the expression”get cold feet”has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be CEO of a company. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned(辞职),and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility(责任). You are likely to gel cold feet about being CEO when you understand the situation.The expression "give someone the cold shoulder"probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise: he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others."A cold fish" is not a fish. It is a person.

People can talk into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost 1000 pounds a pair.They come with a speaker unit embedded (把……嵌入) into the thumb(拇指) and a microphone built into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phone out of their pocket or handbag.Artist Sean Miles, form Winsor, designed the great gloves that double as a phone in part of his project. Hecombines(使……结合) gloves with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2. Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves: one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If need is great, they will then be produced at a larger amount.O2 Recycle, which backed the project, says that there are already 70 million unused mobiles handsets in the UK. Bill Eyers, head of O2 Recycle, asks people to recycle their phones responsibly.Designer Sean Miles, the 41-year-old man behind the designs, said, “I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets(小器具). If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than throw them away as rubbish, I think this project will have lived up to its aim(目标).”Miles is now working on combining phones with handbag. So people don’t spend time rummaging around in their bags to find a phone when it rings.1．These new gloves are special because ____________.A．they can keep hands warm in winterB．they are pinkC．people can use them to make a callD．they haven’t been produced on a large scale.2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us ?A．How the gloves work as “Talk to the Hand”.B．What the gloves are made ofC．Who designed the great glovesD．Why the gloves are very popular with people3．How did O2 Recycle back Sean Mile’ project?A．It helped Sean Miles to have the new idea.B．It recycled parts from mobile handsets for Sean Miles.C．It had an exhibition to show the new gloves.D．It asked people to sell old phones to Sean Miles.4．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The new gloves will not be on market at a big amount before this July.B．Sean Miles hopes that people will throw away their old mobile phones.C．The new gloves are made from recycled gloves and parts of mobile handsets.D．The more users of the new glove there are, the more waste it will cause.5．What does the underlined word “Rummaging” probably mean?A．翻找B．回收C．着急D．絮叨E17、The H1Nl virus has been spreading world-wide，it is important for us to know how to control it．Please pay attentionto the following points：1．Don't touch your face．Above all，keep your hands away from your eyes，mouth and nose，all of which serve pathways(途径) for the viruses(病毒) to enter your body．2．Wash your hands．If you have to touch your face，wash your hands，getting under the fingernails for 20 to 30 seconds with hot soap and water before．Soaps with surfactants(表面活性剂) can deal with flu viruses．3．Cover your nose and mouth．When someone sneezes or coughs，liquid(液体) drops with flu viruses as far as three feet through the air and land on your nose and mouth，so it's best to keep at least an arm's length distance when talking to someone who shows signs of infection(感染)．In order to protect others，cover your mouth and nose with a tissue(纸巾) when you cough or sneeze，and clean your hands afterward．Viruses can live for hours，or even longer when on the skin or other surfaces such as keyboards．4．Consider buying a mask in case you need it in the future．Some research suggests that masks reduce the risk of getting the flu viruses by as much as 80%．But it also suggests that if you don't wash hands，the mask doesn't work well．So wash your hands and use the mask，especially wearing face masks in crowded places is also useful．5．The article mainly tells ________．A．the H1N1 virus has been spreading world-wideB．how to control the H1N1 virusC．cover your nose and mouthD．everyone should buy a mask in the future6．How does the viruses enter your body easily?A．Get though your mouth．B．Get though your nose．C．Get though your eyes．D．All of the above．7．What can we do with the flu viruses?A．Water．B．Masks．C．Soaps with surfactants．D．Tissues．8．How long can the viruses live on the skin or other surfaces such as keyboards?A．For an hour．B．For several hours．C．For two weeks．D．For a year．9．Which of the statements is Not True?A．Wash your hands before meals．B．When you cough or sneeze，you should cover your mouth and nose with a tissue．C．Y ou shouldn't often touch your mouth，eyes and nose．D．When you put a mask，you can often go to the crowded places．F18、You Can Make a Windsock(风筒)Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun project that you can do with things you may have.

You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.Step 2:Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges(边缘) over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle.Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube.Pull the string through both holes. Then tie the ends of the string together.Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube.

ASusan was doing her homework in her room when her father came in. “Do you need help?” Dad asked. “It's almost bedtime.” “No, thanks,” Susan replied. “All I have to do is to paint a rose.” However, when she was about to finish, she dropped the brush on the picture! There was a blob (污点) in the middle of her picture.“No, no, no!” Susan cried. “My rose!” The picture looked like a mess! “Oh, relax.” Dad said. “That blob in the middle can be anything. Maybe a spot (斑点) on a bird or a cat. Just be creative.”“Yes, that's right!” said Susan. “Thanks, Dad. You just saved the day!” She picked up her paintbrush again, and soon the blob on her picture became a spot on a cute little butterfly. She then added more butterflies to her picture.The next afternoon came the art class. Mr. King, the art teacher, asked the students to take a look at all the pictures. Most pictures looked great, but when a picture of a rose with butterflies flying around appeared, the classroom were surprised.“I don't get it,” Tom said, “I thought we should draw a rose, not butterflies.” “What's wrong with the butterflies?” Mary asked. “The butterflies are a fantastic idea,” said Mr. King.“Fantastic?” the class asked, shocked. “Yeah!

The progress of the experiment goes slowly.What you see Your paper towels start getting wet and after some time you will find that the empty glassis starting to have water, just like the picture（→）shows.Interestingly, if red and blue go together, it becomes purple. So, you will see three colorsnow. The empty glass keeps getting water.

You need to be patient because it will last for some time.C. To do the experiment, you need to prepare some wet towels.D. Finally, you will see some chemicals at the bottom of the glasses.CDid you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can't remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don't have a very good memory.The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition (释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective). definition- giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you're very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It's best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It's helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps, writing the word and using it at once, help you remember and use new words. Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.23. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The problem.B. The new word.C. The conversation.D. The dictionary.24. What's the correct order of the following steps of taking vocabulary notes?①Make your own example sentence.②Write the word, its English definition or translation.③Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.④Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.A.②③①④B.②③④①C.③④②①D.③②①④25. How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer?A. By asking for help from friends.B. By explaining words' definitions.C. By connecting them with our life.D. By adding words from the article.26. What's the best title for the passage?A. Tips for Translating WordsB. Advice on Using GrammarC. Abilities of Creating ExamplesD. Ways of Learning New WordsDThe Shenzhou-15 astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu sent their Spring Festival greetings fromChina's Tiangong space station in a video on New Year's Eve.The astronauts showed their own calligraphy(书法) in blue clothes. Two pieces of paper were written with the Chinese character “fur”, meaning good luck and best wishes from Tiangong. “Wearing new clothes. eating dumplings and sending wishes--the festival customs are the same here,” said Zhang Lu.At the same time, the astronauts have decorated the space station with red couplets (对联) and Chinese knots(结). “I believe that, at the moment, many people are working like us. In fact, it is also a kind of happiness,” said Deng. He continued to say that each person's dreams and efforts can get together into a huge force to push the country's development. Fei Junlong wished the country and people to have peace and happiness.In another video also showed the astronauts gave out 40 paintings drawn by children in a “space painting exhibition” as a New Year gift to all the Chinese people. The paintings were brought into space with the Shenzhou-15 task on Nov. 29 last year. They show the children's expectations on the country's rapid development and space exploration (探索).The Shenzhou-15 astronauts successfully finished the last stage of the space station building. During their six-month stay in space, the Shenzhou-15 astronauts will carry out more than 40 experiments and tests.

Arkansas Housing Authority, and he make $525 a month, with a new wife and baby at home. HE didn’t have a college degree. Neither was he successful. He even had no hope for the future. Life was boring and difficult for him, and he didn’t know how to improve.One morning, he was sitting in his coffee listening to the radio. It’s a program called “Our Changing World ” by Earl Nightingale. That day, nightingale said, “if you will spend an extra each day in your study of chosen field, you will be a national expert in that field in five years or less.” Tho se words would change Jim’s life forever.Jim was surprised at Nightingale’s words, but he thought it made sense. Although he had never given a speech, he had always wanted to help people grow in areas of personal development by making speeches. He began to make a change byreading books and listening to tapes whenever he could. HE also started exercising, became better organized, and joined a self-improvement study group. He kept doing a little more each day to further his goal. As a result, in less than six months he has learned more than he did in his few tears of college, and he began to believe he could turn his goal of becoming a great speaker into reality. All the hard work and study paid off. Jim now has made more than 2,500 speeches worldwide and has won many major prizes in speaking.19.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. From Nobody to Somebody B . A Great SpeakerC. An Unforgettable SpeechD. Helping others and Helping yourself【答案】ADCACThe story of the English language is a story of change. Old English is very different from Modern English. While some of the words stay thesame, the same, many of the old words are no longer used. The story of the English language began some time after the year of A. D. 449 when many groups of people came to England from North-West Europe. They helped to make up Old English. In old English, the endsof words were very important gone. This is one example of the differences between Old and Modern English.All languages change over time and this is often influenced by some outside events. For example, when the church became important, Old English became a written English. Before this, only a few people could read and write. Latin, the old language of Italy, was used in the church and because of this, many Latin words entered the English language. Forexample, the world “school” came from the Latin language.In the year of 1066, France attacked England and for a long time French became the language used by the royal family and the rich people in England. However, everybody else continued to use English. However, slowly English became important again and many of the schools began to use English instead of French. English language between about 1150 and 1500 is called Middle English. Over this time, any French words came into the English language. Often there were two words for one thing, a French word and an English word. Some time after 1500 we had the beginning of Modern English. Modern English was becoming more widely used. Writers, like William Shakespeare, used the language in beautiful and new ways.23. How does the writer explain the differences between Old and Modern English?A. By listening reasons B .By telling storiesC. By listing numbersD. By giving examples24. Which of the following statement is TRUR?A. In Old English, the beginnings of words carried many meanings.B. Latin, the old language of Italy, was not used in the church.C. French was used by the royal family and rich people after 1066.D. There were two words for one thing, an English word and a Latin word.25. William Shakespeare’s words were in__________.A. Old EnglishB. Middle EnglishC. Modern EnglishD. French and English26. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. There’s many differences between Old English and Modern English.B. English language develops from Old English to Modern English.C. English language is greatly influenced by some outside events.D. Shakespeare used English language in beautiful and new ways.【答案】DDCBDFood is necessary for offering energy to our bodies, but sometimes we buy too much of it at the store. When your food starts to go bad, there are many other ways you can still make use of it instead of throwing it away.Before throwing away old bananas, you can use the peelsto shine up metals and leathers. Press the peel against the surface, move it backwards and forwards and then clean it with an old cloth. Lemons are great for lightening skin and hair. If you have trouble with some skin diseases, like red spots(斑) on your face, put a bit of fresh lemon juice on them and leave it overnight. You’ll notice a difference in the morning. Apples will help ripen (使成熟) tomatoes quickly when they are placed together in a paper bag, and orange peels are great fire starters for your next backyard campfire party.If your dog or cat brings home fleas (跳蚤), using salt is a great way to keep them away around the house. Just pour salt into the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器). Let it sit, then vacuum up the fleas. The salt can kill the fleas. Be sure to throw away the vacuum bag at once, or some of the fleas can climb out.Beer is a great hair lightener. If you are out of lemons, try putting your hair in beer before going outside. Just don’t forget to wash it out afterwards. Milk is great for taking away dirty marks.As you can see, there are many other uses for everyday foods around the house. So next time, before throwing food away thinking it is of no use, stop for a moment and think about all their uses talked about here.27.Which of the following can be used to lighten your hair?A. Lemons and beer.B. Bananas and lemonC. Oranges and beer.D. Milk and lemon28.How many ways in which we make use of waste fruit are mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.3B.4.C.5D.6.29.What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Dogs.B. Cats.C. Bags.D. Fleas.30.Which of the following shows the structure ofthe passage?(P=Paragraph)【答案】27-30.ABDA第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中有五处（第31-35题）需要添加小标题。

Why is National Lighthouse Day celebrated?A. To show the hard life of lighthouse keepers.B. To instruct how to guide ships into harbor.C. To honor lighthouses and their keepers.D. To stress the importance of light.2. Of the following lighthouses, which is the oldest?A. Cape Byron Lighthouse.B. Lighthouse of Chania.C. Key West Lighthouse.D. Pigeon Point Lighthouse.3. What do the listed lighthouses have in common?A. They are all located in the USA.B. They have becometourist attractions.C. They offer accommodation to visitors.D. They are good spots to watch the sunrise.BScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with thesehigher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.4. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C. Strengthen.D. Weaken.5. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?A. Restore the damaged reefs.B. Grow corals by hand underwater.C. Create more protected areas.D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.6. What do Gunning's words suggest?A. Many corals have been genetically improved.B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Relationship between corals and algaeB. Efforts made to save coralsC. Impact of climate warming on coralsD. Survival crisis faced by coral reefsCIn a world simultaneously on fire and underwater thanks to climate change, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna (金枪鱼) species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are discussing at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Researchers caution that many other marine species remainimperiled. For instance, more than a third of the world's sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.“I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction."At the same time, she warned that the changes in status should not be an reason to catch as many fish as we want.The IUCN, which ranks the world's most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species and is backed by 16,000 experts across the globe, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in theother direction, onto the Red List. One notable example is the Komodo dragon, an island-living lizard at particular risk from climate change.For the better part of two decades, Polidoro has been part of a specialist group tasked with assessing the statuses of more than 60 species of tuna and billfishes for the IUCN.Her team announced its first comprehensive findings in 2011, mentioning that a number of commercially fished tuna species were dangerously close to disappearing.According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near-threatened the last time they were assessed.8. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 2 mean?A. EndangeredB. ConservedC. ExtinctD. Safe9. What can we infer from Polidoro's words?A. Too many fish are being eaten by human beings.B. Eating fish does not necessarily lead to its extinction.C. Fish species are on the edge of dying out if no action is taken.D. The situation of underwater species are changing for the better.10. Which of following statement is true according to the passage?A. Some Tuna species are wiped out by overfishing.B. Tuna are ranked as the world's most endangered species.C. Climate change poses a threat to most species in water and on land.D. Three tuna species have been saved from extinction according to the data.11. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Some tuna species are reported endangered recently.B. IUCN has helped saved a great many marine species.C. Improvement has been made in saving marine species.D. Great efforts should be made to conserve species underwater.DIt was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to workfrom home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.12. Why didn't the author like the first day of spring?A. He had to work at home instead of at office.B. There wasn't social distance between each other.C. There was an epidemic everywhere in the world.D. His own company had been closed for a long time.13. How did people feel in the face of the epidemic?A. Disappointed.B. TenseC. Confident.D. Cheerful.14. What made the author happy?A. Seeing someone delivering lunches from door to door.B. Talking with his old friend in the street.C. Watching a childhood television at home.D. Staying together with his family.15. What do Mr. Roger's words actually mean?A. It's not necessary for us to find helpers in bad times.B. In good times we needn't do much to help others.C. We should ask more people to help us in bad times.D. We are supposed to help each other in bad times.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhat to Eat—and What to Skip—When It Comes to Takeout FoodIf the burden on your wallet doesn't bother you much, the effect your takeout habit can have on your waistline just might arouse your attention. Here's the best and worst of the lot for your belly.Steamed Vegetable Dumplings: Order This.When she orders Chinese, registered dietitian nutritionist Elisa Zied gets an order of steamed vegetable dumplings. "I often pair them with either chicken and broccoli in brown sauce（I ask for a little saucemade without sugar）or steamed shrimp dumplings," she tells us.Crab Wontons: Not That!When you deconstruct crab wontons, it's easy to see why they're a "Not That!" The inside is filled with crabmeat and cream cheese（which is just a fancy, spreadable fat）.The wonton is made of refined flour, egg and salt and the crispy（脆的）coating is a result of a deep oil bath.Peking Duck: Order This.Most of the fat from the skin flows out of the duck over the course of cooking, making this a healthier choice than most of the stir-fry dishes available. Order a side of steamed vegetables and serve it with a small scoop of brown rice. Done and done!Sweet and Sour Anything: Not That!Anything with “sweet and sour” in its title is a powerful cue that something has been deep-fried and covered in a sickly-sweet pink sauce. If you pair your selection with a side of rice, you're looking at a 1,000-calorie meal.Summer Roll: Order This.Summer rolls are steamed instead of fried—and typically filled with lean proteins and vegetables, making them a winning appetizer in our book. Pair them with an order of edamame（毛豆）and a broth-based soup for a satisfying, filling meal.Spring Roll: Not That!Spring=deep-fried, which is why we say to skip them! They're filled with fat and calories your belly doesn'tneed.1.What kind of cooking method should be skipped according to the text?A.Steaming.B.Stir-frying.C.Deep-frying.D.Boiling.2.Which of the following suits as a good starter for a meal?A.Chicken and broccoli.B.Steamed vegetable dumplings.C.Peking duck.D.Summer rolls.3.Where can the text be found?A.In a recipe.B.In a guidebook.C.In a science fiction.D.In a health magazine.BWhen you say the word donkey, whatthings come to your mind? A few people might say they’re cute, but the majority think they’re stubborn, dumb and all-round less capable than their horse s.However, this wasn’t the case for a recently unearthed ancient Chinese noblewoman who was unexpectedly found buried with her donkeys. Published in the journal Antiquity in March, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) first discovered the tomb in Xi’an, Shaanxi, in 2012. The team examined the remains and identified the body as Cui Shi, a Tang Dynasty high-born lady who died in 878 AD.Speaking to Science Magazine in 2012, the study’s co-author, Fiona Marshall, said the finding caused confusion as “donkeys … are not associated with high-status people”.However, following years of further research, the team discovered artworks and artifacts that showed a sport known as “Lvju”. This was similar to modern-day polo (马球)and was popular among noble (高贵的) women at the time. They preferred to use donkeys instead of full-sized horses for safety reasons, due to their smaller size and slower speed.Speaking to CNN, Marshall later said, “Historical documents also showed that ladies of the late Tang court loved to play donkey polo.”At that time in Chinese history, animals were often placed in tombs so that they could be used for a specific purpose in the afterlife. The study determined that Cui Shi likely requested that her beloved donkeys be buried with her, so that she could continue her favorite sport after death. In total, three donkeys were found inside her tomb with riding gear (装备), including stirrups (马镫). “This context provides evidence that the donkeys in her tomb were for polo, not transport,” lead author Hu Songmei of the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology told ScienceMagazine.Before the study, it was believed that donkeys were only used to carry loads, but now it may be time to see them as a sign of achieving high social status(地位), well, in ancient times.4. What do most people think of donkeys, according to the text?A. They are as adorable(可爱的) as horses.B. They are stubborn and not so capable.C. They were necessary in ancient sports.D. They were a sign of high social status.5. Why did Fiona Marshall feel confused when she discovered the donkeys?A. She didn’t connect donkeys with nobles.B. She hadn’t seen donkeys in ancient tombs before.C. She didn’t expect to find donkeys in a woman’s tomb.D. She didn’t understand why animals were in human tombs.6. What do we know about the sport “Lvju” from the text?A. Horses were preferred in Lvju.B Lvju was similar to modern-day soccer.C. Lvju was popular among common people.D. Donkeys were preferred in the sport for safety.7. The donkeys were found in the tomb of Cui Shi probably because _______.A. she intended to use them for transport after deathB. her family didn’t want her to be lonely after deathC. she wanted to continue to play Lvju after deathD. noble women needed donkeys to maintain their dignityCYu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move on their own, “The art form amazes me, becauseit combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China inBeijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft byhimself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency inBeijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned toChengduto open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C. Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.9. Why did Yu quit his job inBeijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family inChengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.10. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.11. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.DToo much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn andeven reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an averageof less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to increasing findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.12. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.A. have had computers in their bedroomsB. not be interested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have watched a lot of TV13. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.D. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.14. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. More time should be spent on computers.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done15. What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB. Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Children's Learning Habits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。
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高中部高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高中部高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIt’s the time of year when we start hiking. As you pack, remember to bring your smartphone. Whether you’re going on a short walk or a long trip, there are a handful of apps that can help.MapMyHikeThis app tracks where you're hiking so you have a mapof your route at the end of the hike. It can also track other fitness information like the distance traveled, speed, pace, and even calories burned. You can save the data for your hike, so you can always access the route you look as well as track improvements to your workout. GaiaGPSYou don't always have cellphone service when hiking, but you always want to know where you are. The GaiaGPS app provides that information. Download maps of different parts of the world, and access the GaiaGPS app in the middle of even the most remote trails. The GPS function makes using the maps simple, and the app will also point to areas of interest.Backpacking ChecklistOne of the worst things is being way out on a trail only to discover you left behind something important.

Design a suitable hiking route.C. Locate popular tourist attractions.D. Store the data of your daily activities.2. What is WildObs intended to do?A. To provide survival skills.B. To lead the way.C. To identify wildlife.D. To help make preparations.3. Which app is most useful before hiking?A. GaiaGPS.B. MapMyHike.C. WildObs.D. Backpacking Checklist.B“Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” William Wordsworth wrote. In the above quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or don’t. Before you start to work in your garden, it’s necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what youwant to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless. Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isn’t suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life’s soil.You don’t have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap(收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It’s a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you’ll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love.A gardener’s trulyarduouswork begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested.4. What is important before gardeners break ground in their gardens?A. Receiving some training in planting.B. Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.C. Having the courage to accept the worst outcome.D. Doing research on the common local garden plants.5. What is compared to getting education by the author?A. Improving the condition of the soil.B. Growing your most favorable plants.C. Taking care of the plants in your garden.D. Selecting proper goals in gardening work.6. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 3?A. Your quality of life depends on your positive action.B. Your experience can help you understand plants better.C. Your choice of soil is an important part in your gardening.D. Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener.7. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. BeneficialB. CreativeC. Boring.D. ToughCWhen Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had lefta book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids? Should we let them decide eye color1 ? Skin color1 ? Height? After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make surethey are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them.8. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________A. her father pushed herB. a book inspired herC. her teacher encouraged herD. James Watson motivated her9. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix"B. she discovered the structure of DNAC. she is a hardworking woman scientistD. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA10. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science.B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry.C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals.D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race.11. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna?A. Determined and responsible.B. Ambitious and humorous.C. Cruel and indifferent.D. Fearless and stubborn.DIt might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10said they learned about science from late-night television shows.Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.12. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?A. It may do serious damage to science.B. It can effectively popularize science.C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.13. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.B. Because science is not easy to come up with.C. Because they find no interest in science issues.D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.14. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Positive.D. Negative.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。

It has been put into practice for many years．6. What will commercial production of the food wrap cause？A. A lack of competitiveness．B. Poor quality of the wraps．C. A shortage of raw material．D. An increase in production costs．7. From which is the text probably taken？A. A personal diary．B. A travel guide．C. A book review．D. A scientific magazine．CAn unmanned Chinese spacecraft left the earth on a trip to the planet Mars on Thursday. The launch（发射）marks the start of one of China's most important space explorations. China's national space agency launched the spacecraft called Tianwen-1 fromthe Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center on Hainan Island.The name Tianwen means “Questions to Heaven” in Chinese. The spacecraft took off on China's largest carrier rocket, the Long March 5, and about 36 minutes later, the spacecraft, including an orbiter（轨道飞行器）and a rover（漫游车），was sent into the Earth-Mars orbit. It is expected to reach the orbit of the red planet next February. Tianwen-1 will finish three scientific goals—orbiting the red planet, landing on the Mars and sending a rover to the landing site.Tianwen-1 carries several scientific instruments to observe the planet's atmosphere and surface. It will do a series of scientific researches on the planet's soil, geological structure, environment, atmosphere and water.Besides its daily work of exploring the surface of Mars for 90 days, it will also report back to the earth about its experiences on the red planet, which is millions of miles away. According to experts, discovering signs of life will be its first and most important scientific goal.Tianwen-1's successful landing will make China the second nation to place a spacecraft on Mars. The United States has landed eight vehicles on Mars since 1976. China will be the first to successfully orbit, land and place a vehicle in the same mission. This is China's first independent mission to Mars. The task in 2011 failed when a Russian rocket carrying a Chinese orbiter had problems after launch, and was unable to escape the Earth orbit. Last year, China's Chang e-4 spacecraft became the first to make a landing on the far side of the moon.8. When will Tianwen-1 enter the orbit of Mars?A. 36 minutes later.B. Next Thursday.C. In 90 days.D. Next February.9. What is the main task of Tianwen-1 according to experts?A. Orbiting the Mars.B. Landing on the Mars.C. Discovering signs of life.D. Sending a rover to the landing site.10. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the text?A. Tianwen-1 is the second vehicle landed on the Mars.B. The United States is the first to land vehicles on the Mars.C. Russia helped China place Tianwen-1 on the Mars.D. Chang，e-4 was the first to make a landing on the moon.11. Where can you find this article?A. In a newspaper.B. In a diary.C. In a sci-fi novel.D. In a guide book.DMany Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we aregoing to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”12. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?A. A newly made video game.B. An English grammar book.C. A new designed school bag.D. A unique jacket from their parents.13. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Expression of disappointment.B. Something expected to happen.C. The same with one’s expectation.D. A result against what is expected.14. What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?A. They are easy to understand.B. They express disappointment.C. They show delighted feelings.D. They are used most at Christmas.15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. Expectations from loved ones.B. Different uses of the three words.C. Examples of the use of the three words.D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.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。
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高中部高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高中部高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAshish, the 48-year-old surgeon encourages others to do the same through Bloodline, a nonprofit association he founded in 2017. Besides this, he donates blood regularly.According to Ashish, who has been a doctor at a United Family Healthcare hospital in Shanghai since 2007, Bloodline is aimed at creating a blood bank that can help the community as well as individuals with rare blood types who face an urgent need for blood.“My father, a doctor who specialized in treating chest infections, only charged those who could afford the medical treatment. For those who couldn’t pay, he never mentioned money and instead gave them the drugs for free.” he says.During his growing up years, Ashish was also exposed to social services, helping collect food and money for a local children’s hospital.Ashish first donated blood when he was 18. After arriving in China in 2003, Ashish learned mandarin at Fudan University in Shanghai before becoming a graduate student in general surgery at Shanghai Huashan Hospital. Here, he continued participating in blood donation drives as his way of giving back to society. In 2011, he became a volunteer at the Shanghai Blood Center where he helped raise public awareness about blood donations.The idea of setting up an online community for this cause came in 2013 as he believed that there should be a group of expats who get together voluntarily to work with patients and organize regular gatherings to raise public awareness. In 2017, this community was officially registered as Bloodline.“Our organization currently has a presence in 14 cities, including Beijing, Dalian, and Guangzhou. It’s often a small group of people in each city but they can help a great deal.” says Ashish, who holds the roles of ambassador and director of the foreign volunteers group at the Shanghai Blood Center.Ashish has also emphasize the importance of raising awareness of their causes in children, noting that people from the younger generations are more receptive to the idea of donating blood. Bloodline is currently planning to launch a junior club within the organization where youth will get to tour blood donation centers, witness how the blood is dealt, who the end users are, and the difference that they can make to the lives of those in need of blood.“We come from different countries and have different skin color1 s, but the blood streaming through our bodies is the same. When there is a need to roll up sleeves and save lives, we will step forward bravely.” he says.1. The goal of Bloodline is to ________.A. set up a blood bank that can help the communityB. raise money for the charityC. assist children in local hospitalsD. help poor people reduce their financial burden2. What can we infer about Ashish through the whole passage? He ________.A. benefited from blood donation himselfB. got his medical degree in FuDan UniversityC. got the idea of founding Bloodline from his fatherD. helped collect food and money for a local children’s hospital3. What message does the passage convey to us?A. Giving is receivingB. Hard work leads to success.C. One needs to return the favor.D. Love is without boundaries.BHappiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.4. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.5. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.6. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A To draw a conclusion from the study.B. To offer some advice to the readers.C. To prove social activities' importance.D. To support the researchers' finding.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB. Screen Time Should Be BannedC. Teens' Lives Have Changed SharplyD. Screen-addicted Teens Are UnhappierCWhen rescuers were called to rescue a “little owl”, they did not expect to find one that was too fat to fly. A concerned citizen first spotted the poor bird lying helplessly. Even Rufus Samkin, whose team then took the team in on Jan.3, believed the bird to be injured. There were no wounds to be found, however, causing experts tobelieve the female owl was simply too wet to fly.But it was only after a thorough drying-off and complete checkup that they noted the real issue. The rescuers weighed the owl and concluded that she was “simply extremely obese” and couldn’t take off. This additional weight left her unable to fly, though experts began to wonder how she got so fat in the first place. Because it’s rather unusual for wild birds to reach such a state, they decided to keep her a few weeks and monitor her.In the end, the rescuers assessed that it was simply a case of “natural obesity”. December 2019 was quite warm, which meant that there were many insects for the bird to feast upon. Indeed, the owl was discovered in a field that was “filled with field mice” due to the usual climate. “It’s been very mild here, and the owl is able to find foods easily,” Samkin explained. With the sudden food, “she ly ate much and got very fat. She had a lovely time, but went too far.”The researchers consequently put the owl on a “strict diet” so she could shrink to a more “natural weight”. She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around. In the end, the bird was sent flying gracefully off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight. Hopefully, this owl won’t come upon another feast of field mice—unless she wants another few weeks at the fat camp.8. What did people think happened to the owl at first?A. She was hurt.B. She was trapped.C. She was hungry.D. She was wet.9. Why was the bird unable to fly?A. She needed a thorough checkup.B. She should be given a drying-off.C. She was completed overweight.D. She was simply extremely strong.10. What made the owl have enough foods?A. The especially warm weather.B. The reducing number of insects.C. The rich fields growing crops.D. The lovely time the bird enjoyed.11. How did the owl loseits weight?A. Going on a diet and exercising.B. Flying in the British countryside.C. Visiting that fat camp again.D. Enjoying her wonderful feast freely.DThe term "bird brain" is frequently used to describe a person's lack of intelligence and good decision-making ability. However, some scientists believe it should be considered a praise, given that many birds can perform human tasks like producing and using tools, solving problems, and planning for future needs. Now,Griffin, anAfrican Grey parrot, has proved that birds may even possess better visual memories than human adults and children.The study, led by Hrag Pailian, a researcher at Harvard University, had the parrot compete in the game against twenty-one undergraduate students and twenty-one 6 to 8-year-old children. The popular challenge involves hiding a small object under one of three or more upside-down cups, which are moved around. Participants are required to accurately identify the cup under which the object lies. To make the task more challenging, the researchers required participants to track two, three, and four objects at the same time.An analysis of the results showed thatGriffinoutperformed the 6 to 8-year-olds across all levels on average. Even more impressive, the "bird brain" performed as well as, or slightly better than, the 21 Harvard students on 12 of the 14 trials! It was only in the final two tests, which had the most objects and most movement, that the parrot fell behind the adults. However,Griffin's performance was never below that of the children.Griffinwas the candidate of choice because the scientists needed an animal that had a brain functionality similar to that of humans. "The fact that the smart parrot loves to show off his brain power in exchange for a few cashews (腰果) did not hurt either", said Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard lecturer, who has trained Griffin and several other African Grey parrots, has been studying the species for over four decades and is considered a pioneer in the study of bird intelligence.12. Whatwere the participants required to do in the study?A. Identify different kinds of objects.B. Tell where the hidden object lies.C. Track other participants' performance.D. Move around upside-down cups.13. What did the results of the study indicate?A. 6 to 8-year-olds did better thanGriffin.B. Parrots have a better memory than other birds.C. Harvard students have a better visual memory.D.Griffinoutsmarted Harvard students in some trials.14. Why wasGriffinchosen for the experiment?A. It was good at making decisions.B. It was specially trained for experiments.C. It had similar brain functions to human beings.D. It loved to show off his language power for some treats.15. What is the best title for the text?A. "Bird brain" becomes a term for a stupid person.B. Harvard lecturer pioneers in bird intelligence study.C. Parrot outsmarted Harvard students in visual memory test.D. Researchers made new discoveries about human intelligence.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。
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高中部高三英语模拟试卷及答案
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高中部高三英语模拟试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe COVID -19 pandemic has affected all aspects of life, including the way we travel. But for those who are looking to expand their horizons while still staying safe, the following three travel trends in 2021 may provide inspirations. Let’s take a look.StaycationWith many travel restrictions during the pandemic, people preferred traveling to nearby places in 2020. This trend continues in 2021. According to search data, 62 percent of people are interested in taking a vacation within driving distance of home. People who live in large cities want to get back in touch with nature. Travelers are looking for places different from their everyday accommodations, for example, farm stays, villas and cottages.Pod travelWhile 2020 saw a rise in solo travel and isolated adventures, 2021 shows that people want to be more connected. “Pod travel”, or gathering in isolated spaces with loved ones, is growing in popularity. 85 percent of survey respondents favor traveling with family or friends, and over half of the trips searched include three or more people. Pod travel is here to stay for those who want to safely be together while reducing risks associated with socializing with others.Remote working and travelingMany people worked and learned from home in 2020 because of the pandemic. Remote working blurs the line between working and traveling. There was a 128 percent increase in the mention of phrases such as “relocation”, “relocate”, “remote work” and “trying a new neighborhood”. People are actively booking longer stays (e. g. two plus week trips) in small to mid—size cities with access to immersive natural surroundings and wide—open spaces.1.What can we learn about Staycation?A.Travelling to the countryside.B.Taking an isolated adventure.CHaving holidays in nearby places. D.Staying indoors all by oneself.2.What’s special about Pod travel?A.Traveling alone.B.Traveling far away.C.Traveling while working.D.Traveling with loved ones.3.Where might we find the text in a magazine?A.Medicine.cation.C.TourismD.Career.BWe have most friends at the age of 26 afterhaving spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed.The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference."Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% todrift away fromchildhood friends.With growing pressure being put on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship.4. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?A. 22.B. 18.C. 12.D. 4.5. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.A. how important making friends isB. school time is an important period to develop friendshipC. how much has been done to keep friendshipD. that friendship is not easy to keep6. The underlined phrase "drift away from" in Paragraph 6 means ________.A. make sense ofB. make up withC. feel sorry forD. lose touch with7. This passage is mostprobably taken from ________.A. a newspaperB. an advertisementC. a textbookD. Facebook or TwitterCA world in which extinct creatures could be brought back to life came a step closer yesterday. Australian scientists have managed to extract a gene from a preserved sample of a Tasmanian tiger and make it active. Thebreakthroughhas left them dreaming that one day they will be able to recreate the animal, which died out more than 70 years ago. And if it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger, it may also be possible to resurrect (复活) creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever, but no more, ” said Professor Mike Archer. “We are now able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone for ever. What has been achieved is a very important step in bringing back those animals that are extinct. And while I think that technically it is still pretty difficult at the moment, we can now see the possibilities. I’m personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back to life in my lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne, who extracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum. They removed the equivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as the mouse continued to grow normally, suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr. Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to “induce (引起) a functional response in another living organism”.However, the animal’s entire gene structure would have to be revived in the same way to even begin the possibility of bringing the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead.Mick Mooney, a wildlife officer ofthe Tasmanian Government, was worried that such developments could encourage people’s indifference to the protection of endangered species.“If people think that we can bring animals back to life after they’ve gone, they will start saying that there isnothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”8. What does the underlined word “breakthrough” in the l paragraph refer to?A. Scientists have recreated new animals.B. Scientists have resurrected endangered animal.C. It has turned out that some creatures would not go extinct.D. A tiger gene has been extracted successfully and activated.9. Scientists are carrying out the experiments in order to ________.A. bring extinct animals back to lifeB. transplant the genes of tigers into other animalsC. find out what factors lead to the animals’ extinctionD. find a new way to extract animals’ DNA10. Mike Archer thinks that ________.A. scientists now have no technological difficulty reconnecting extinct animalsB. it’ll be a century or so before a Tasmanian tiger walks on the earth againC. humans have come closer in reconnecting extinct animalsD. reconnecting extinct animals is impossible11. We can learn from Mick Mooncy’s words that_________.A. he thought it unnecessary to worry about endangered animalsB. his opinion is in contrast with that of the Tasmanian GovernmentC. he thought people should be encouraged to protect endangered animalsD. he is concerned that bringing extinct animals back to life may have a negative effectDJohn Montefiore's path to graduation from theUniversityofTorontowas a little unusual. He recently completed his bachelor's degree(学士学位) which he started in1995.Montefiore left university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasn't necessary for personal success. But it remained unfinished businessuntil he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42. At that time, his job development stalled, so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself and work well in future.The second time around, Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row. He found many courses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice. He found support services played an importantrole in his successful return. He said, “I hadn't written a paper for years, so I found the college writing centre to be of great use. Before I handed in a paper, they would give me feedback, which was really great. The university has so much built in to help students succeed and I'm so thankful for that.” But he also met difficulties this time. As a student much older than others, he found it harder to make friends with classmates.However, no matter what had happened before, he finally got his bachelor's degree. He said, “After all these years, I had thought it wouldn't mean anything, but it means a lot. I totally understand the value of education now. It's not necessarily the value that other people see in it, but the value it gives me as a person, for my confidence and my self-esteem. It also helps me prepare well before I re-enter the workplace.”12. Why was Montefiore's graduation unusual?A. He had achieved personal success before.B. He understood the importance of a degree.C. He finished his degree at a much older age.D. He began his university study at a young age.13. What does the underlined word "stalled" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Stopped.B. Started.C. Survived.D. Succeeded.14. What can we learn about Montefiore from the third paragraph?A. He got good grades very easily.B. He took his study seriously this timeC. He was thankful for his classmates' helpD. He had difficulty using support services.15. What did Montefiore learn from his experience?A. Confidence is important in one's life.B. Others' opinions on education matter a lot.C. Higher education is a must for personal success.D. Education makes one feel better about himself.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。
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高三英语一模试卷及答案解析
2019-2020学年杭州市保俶塔实验学校高三英语一模试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABird migration is described as the regular, seasonal movement of bird populations from one place to another and back again.The longer days and rich food of the northern summer provide greater chances for birds to feed their young. The longer daylight hours and enormous food resources allow birds to lay larger eggs than those of related non-migratory species that remain in the tropics all year round. As the days shorten in autumn and the breeding period is over, the birds return to warmer regions where the available food supply differs little with the seasons changing. The advantages of migration make up for the high stress, physical exertion（消耗）, and other risks of the migration.Day length is the primary environmental factor that encourages birds to prepare for migration. They have an increased appetite which results in weight gaining, giving them the fat reserves that provide energy for their migratory flight. They also show more activity at night, which is when most birds migrate. While the length of day is the primary reason for migration, birds also respond to temperature changes. For example, if a spring is late and the temperature is lower than normal, birds delay migration; if a spring is early, birds also begin migration early.The timing of the migratory cycle must allow birds to arrive on the breeding site so that there is time tobuild a breeding place, mate, lay the eggs, and hatch the young before the rich food is available to feed the young in the nest. Similarly, if birds wait until the climate in their northern breeding grounds becomes tolerable(可忍受的), there will be no time togain the necessary weight that provides the energy needed for their southbound migration.1. Why do birds migrate to the north in spring?A The temperature in the south has risen.B. They like traveling and enjoy the journey.C. The summer there is warmer than that in the south.D. The environment there is more suitable for them to feed their baby birds.2. What are the two factors that cause birds to migrate?A. Day length and food supply.B. Night length and high stress.C. Temperature changes and daylength.D. Food supply and temperature changes.3. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Birds' LifeB. Birds' MigrationC. Birds' Breeding HabitsD. Birds' Living EnvironmentBThe secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists. It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time betweenchildhood and full adulthood, that’s around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question: How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges?G. William Domhoff and Adam Schneider, at theUniversityofCalifornia, help to answer this question by examining the lengthy dream series of two individuals, “Izzy” and “Jasmine”. Izzy provided a collection of 4, 329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25.Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recently, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined(预先确定的)number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, accuracy, and objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However,itcan only lead so far.To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings(词串)for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets. For Izzy these word strings included “family and s”, “celebrities” and “fantasy”, while the word strings they created for Jasmine included “familiar places,” electrical equipment” and “music”. The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives. Surprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency(一致性)and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer.“The frequencies of dream elements show the intensity(强度)of the dreamer’s personal concern with that element in waking thought,” Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away.4. What do psychologists agree with about dreams?A. Dreams are influenced by life experiences.B. Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.C. Dreams in one’s teens and twenties are strongest.D The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.5. What does “it” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The collection of dreams.B. Research into dreaming.C. The digital method.D. The challenge for psychologists.6. How do the researchers conduct their study?A. By analyzing large data sets.B. By developing individualized word strings.C. By identifying the patterns of dreaming.D. By making comparison with traditional research.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. New tech, new findingB. Dreams: reflections of waking realityC. Lives, languages, dreamsD. Life experiences: elements of mental worldCKids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project, which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar activities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.8. What do students benefit from yoga?A. It helps them calm down.B. It helps them concentrate.C. They can learn some living skills.D. They can learn about the importance of nutrition.9.

Hard Life inSouth Africa.B. Students’ school life inCape Town.C. Hope from Earthchild Project inCape Town.D. The differences between traditional lessons and Earthchild Project.DWe all know that a healthy lifemeans getting both plenty of exercise and enough good-quality sleep, but reality often gets in the way. The new research indicates that doing enough exercise could make up for some of the unhealthy impacts of bad sleep. While the health benefits of exercise and sleep are nothing new, it's the relationship between them that is interesting in this particular study — it could even give doctors another option to suggest for patients dealing with sleep problems.“We found those who had both the poorest sleep quality and who exercised the least were most at risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and cancer,” says epidemiologist Bo-Huei Huang, from the University of Sydney in Australia.Participants were grouped into three levels of physical activity (high, medium or low) and were also given a sleep quality score from 0-5 based on the amount of shut-eye they got, how late they stayed up, insomnia, snoring and daytime sleepiness.Those with the highest risk of dying from cancer or heart disease during the study period were those with the worst quality sleep and who didn't meet the WHO recommended guidelines for exercise. That risk went down for people with poor quality sleep but who did meet the exercise guidelines.In the case of all forms of cancer, for example, those at the unhealthiest end of the sleep and exercise scale had a 45 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than those with good sleep scores who kept physically active. However, that risk just about disappeared for those who didn't score well on sleep but did score well on physical activity.For now it's not clear why more exercise might make up for poor sleep, as far as our health goes. It could be that the increased activity iscounteractinginflammation (炎症), or reducing irregularities in glucose metabolism, suggest the researchers.“Considering that physical activity is perhaps more modifiable than sleep, our study offers people more health incentives to be physically active.” says population health researcher Emmanuel Stamatakis, from the University of Sydney.12. This research is of particular interest in that ________.A. it’s in this study that exercise is known to be beneficial to sleep.B. this study offers people more health treatments to be physical active.C. it could enable doctors to cure patients of their sleeping condition.D. the relationship between exercise and sleep is updated in this study.13. Which of the following statements istrueaccording to the passage?A. Those who had the poorest sleep quality were most at risk of death from heart disease.B. Those scoring lowest on sleep and exercise scale were more likely to die from cancer.C. There’s no risk of cancer for those who didn't sleep well but did score well on physical activity.D. It's evident that in terms of health more exercise could make up for poor sleep.14. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 mean?A. interactingB. increasingC. preventingD. causing15. Where can this passage most probably be taken from?A. A research findings reportB. A medical examination reportC. A poor sleep study reportD. A physical activity study report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。

There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say," I can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.During my primary and middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A's on my tests. Once in a while, I would be asked to read a novel as homework, but I didn't enjoy this type of reading.Yet, now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don't have to write down what happened or what skills the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.19. Why did the writer’s mom say that she couldn’t believe what is printed in the newspaper?A. Maybe because the writer’s mom didn’t believe the news.B. Maybe because the writer’s mom couldn’t understand the news.C. Maybe because the writer’s mom expect the news to interest the writer.D. Maybe because the writer was good at reading news.20. According to Paragraph 3，the author's reading of road signs shows___________A. that she wants to find where they reachB. that she wants to show off her reading abilityC. that she wants to tell mom to follow traffic rules.D. that she wants to know the world around her.21. What is the correct order in which these happen according to the passage?( )a. The writer relaxes by reading novels.b. The writer reads road signs in her mom’s car .c. The writer’s mom reads bedtime stories to her.d. The writer reads to get better grades.A. a-b-c-dB. a-b-d-aC. d-c-b-aD. c-d-a-b22. What could be the best title for the passage?( )A. The Magic of ReadingB. The Pleasure of ReadingC. Growing Up with ReadingD. Reading is Relaxing【答案】CDBCCBacteria(细菌) are an unpleasant problem for astronauts. The small things from our bodies grow widely on the Internet Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA getting over this very tiny big problem? It's turning to a group of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school class with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon's students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity(重力), and they think they're close to solution. “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineer,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“There are no tests,”Gordon says. “There ís no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards you goal?’Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to make his product and then, at the end of year, give it to NASA.’Engineers come and check how the students’ work progresses and...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the Hunch program plays a role in deciding which college to enter and practicing life skills. “These kids lose themselves in their studies and I just sit back. I don't teach.”And those unpleasant bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable way to test in space.23.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A.They are hard to clean off.B. They lead to air pollution.C. They are in different shapes.D. They break the instruments.24. The HUNCH program is designed to__.A. improve teacher-student relationshipsB. make students’ communication skills betterC. make students experience zero gravityD. connect space technology with school education25. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A. Check heir productsB. Cheer the students upC. Change the timetableD. Grade their homework26. The purpose of the passage is___.A. to introduce a special educational programB.to show a group of hard-working studentsC.to show how the astronauts clean bacteriaD.to help teenagers to learn about NASA【答案】ADAADBefore the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were too much for most people. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. Also, most newspapers had little in them that would be fun to common people. They were boring. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The development, then, was toward the "penny(便士) paper" -- a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper, perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single(单一的) copies on the street.This change did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be common in other eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper " caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend（趋势）of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early newspaper companies were failed immediately. People who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.27. The underlined word “revolution” in Paragraph 1 meansA. a great changeB. fun of newspapers c. the high price D. the rich people28. What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher. B They would be gone from cities.C.They could have more readers.D. They could only be in the printer’s office.29. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. People could buy penny papers easily before the 1830s.B. It’s impossible to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830.C. The price of all single copies was a penny, including famous papers.D. The trend of newspapers for common people was not smooth at first.30. Mainly thanks to , the newspapers became available to common people.A. the man on the streetB. owners of successful papersC. young and brave businessmanD. the printers’ office【答案】ACDC第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题，从下列选项（A、B、C、D、E、F）中选出适合各段落的小标题，标题中有一项是多余选项。
