I would always say that I was trying to study, but there were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start.Now I realized that those were only excuses. What stopped me was that I was afraid to start studying again. I always believed I would learn by myself.One day, however, my son told me that he was sad because his friends would come over and I didn’t understand them because I didn’t speak English. He was also sad because I could never help him with his homework. That same day, I told myself, “Rocio, you have to start believing in yourself and you will see you can make it.”The next day, I went downtown to look for a big banner (横幅) in front of the school which said that they offered classes for adults. I came in to see if I could join, but the classes were closed already. That night I took the kids to the movies, and on the way back, I told them we would take a new route. I ended up getting lost. That’s the way I found Chaffey College. The following Monday, I went to ask for information. They told me that summer school was starting that week.That’s how I started studying English last summer. It is difficult, but I havehad great rewards. My daughter had written a story for school. It was about the female they most admired and why. She wrote that I was the person she most admired because I had started going to college. I will never forget this.4．According to the passage, the author probably is a ________.A．teacher B．doctor C．father D．mother5．What made the author make up her mind to study English?A．What her son said.B．What her daughter said.C．Thinking about herself.D．Thinking about her daughter.6．How did they find Chaffey College?A．On the way to the movies.B．They took a new route and got lost.C．Ask a stranger for information.D．According to the banner.7．Which of the following is NOT true?A．The author came to the United States from another country.B．The author had two children including one daughter.C．What really changed the author’s life was that she believed in herself. D．The author wrote that she was the person her son most admired.Have you ever wondered if you see the same colours as other people? Most people know what blue is when they see it. They call it "blue” because they were taught the word and connected it with what they saw. But how do you know what you see as blue isn’t someone else s red?The ability to perceive (感知) different colours is up to receptors (接受器) in our eyes. Light waves hit these receptors and they react depending on which colour the light is, sending signals to the brain. The brain then reads these signals to determine which colour light the eyes are receiving.Some people’s receptors are more developed than others. The inability of thereceptor to feel the light waves correctly means that some people cannot tell the differences between similar colours.Those with more developed receptors can see more colours. We sometimes hear people having an argument about whether something is dark blue or black. It might be because one person has stronger receptors to feel the light than another.In the past, most scientists would argue that everyone saw colours in the same way. However, research was conducted on monkeys, in which their receptors were changed. This enabled them to see more colours than usual. Normally monkeys can only see blue and green, but the change allowed them to see red. Their brains automatically (自动地) got used to new colours. This suggests that our brains may adapt depending on our stimulus (刺激) and find new colors of the things we see. Colours could be a very personal experience, unique to everyone.So, the next time you talk about your favourite colour, just remember if yours is blue and your friend says red, you two might actually be thinking about the same colour. What if everyone in the world has the same favourite colour, but just calls it different names?8．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．How we perceive colours.B．The inability to see colours.C．What the brain does with signals.D．The connection between receptors and light waves.9．Which of the following might the author agree with?A．Some people cannot feel colours with their developed receptors.B．The more light people feel, the weaker receptors they have.C．People with poor receptors usually have colour weakness.D．People who have strong receptors can see dark blue.10．What’s the purpose of conducting the research on monkeys?A．To test the monkeys with colours.B．To develop the receptors of humans.C．To enable monkeys to find more colors.D．To prove everyone sees colours in a different way.11．Where does the text probably come from?A．A film review. B．A science magazine.C．An art magazine. D．A business newspaper.As teenagers grow up, it can be easy for some to form bad habits. To prevent harmful habits from dominating a teenager’s life is necessary. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make proper changes. To change bad habits isn’t easy, even with many tries.According to modern psychology(心理学)，we must first learn about the “habit cycle”， which works like this:Firstly, there is a “cue”, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something. Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular action you take in response to the cue. Thirdly, there is the “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine. For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine) which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of depending on unhealthy snacks is formed.To help a positive change in our bad habits, we must first check our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by applying habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some favourite music instead (routine), which will make us feel relaxed(reward).Besides changing bad habits,we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits.For example,when we come to a lift (cue), our normal routine is to ride it,but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.Although changing bad habits takes time, yet by showing some self-control and taking many small steps repeatedly we will build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!12．Which word can best replace the underlined word “dominating” in paragraph 1? A．Benefiting.B．Controlling.C．Valuing.D．Recollecting.13．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．How “habit cycle” works.B．Why “habit cycle” should be carried out.C．What benefits “habit cycle” can bring to us.D．When and where “habit cycle” should be used.14．How can we changing our bad habits?A．By putting our own positive ideas into habit cycles.B．By checking our bad habit cycles and getting used to them.C．By listening to some favourite music and relaxing ourselves.D．By replacing a positive routine with something more negatives.15．Which is the right routine in the habit cycle when you feel stressed and want to get energetic?A．Eating much junk food.B．Staying up to watch football matches.C．Playing basketball with friends.D．Playing computer games for a long time.二、五选五Last month we asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV. 16 We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day.Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.17We all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day.The other ten percent use it at leastthree or four times a week.Most students use it for fun and not for homework.18 Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week.Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week.And eighty-five percent watch TV every day!Although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular.It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows, 19 It is healthy for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“Old habits die hard.”20A．So start exercising before it’s too late!B．And twenty percent do not exercise at all.C．but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.D．Here are the results.E．The answers to our questions about watching television were also interesting.三、单项选择21．—Tom, did you ever see _____ book that I bought with you last week?—No, but Dad saw____ book under the bed this morning.

An outstanding TV hostess, and an influential producer are among the titles she is known as.She was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, on January 29, 1954. As a child, she lived with poverty and mistreatment. Although she was not offered everything on a silver platter, she still overcame her childhood struggles and made her mark in the world.How did Oprah Winfrey overcome the setbacks and build her career from zero? It started when she was 19 and won the Miss Black Tennessee beauty contest. This was her stepping stone towards her journey to work in the media. She started her career as a radio and TV hostess in Nashville. Then she moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where she hosted a local talk show called People Are Talking. This show gained popularity and this eventually led to her own national talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, which ran for 25 seasons and was the highest-rated talk show in the history of television.Oprah has a heart of gold and has been a supporter of many causes over the course of her career, such as education, health, and wellness. She has used her platform to inspire, teach, and entertain people worldwide through her charity organization known as the Oprah Winfrey Network. She also took a step for the education of girls in South Africa by starting the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy.Oprah Winfrey’s life is a true example of where being strong and determined can lead you. She has shown people that if you put your mind to something, you can achieve it. The lesson we can learn from her is that no matter how hard things get, you can always find the strength to keep going and reach your goals.24. What was Oprah’s childhood like?A. She was born with a silver spoon.B. She struggled with health problems.C. She went through a lot of hardships.D. She grew up in an easy atmosphere.25. What was the first step of Oprah’s career?A. Winning a beauty contest.B. Launching a local talk show.C. Running a national talk show.D. Hosting a radio and TV programme.26. Which of the following can best describe Oprah?A. Warm-hearted but impatient.B. Strong-willed and generous.C. Narrow-minded but talented.D. Easy-tempered and ambitious.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Oprah Winfrey — One of the Most Powerful Men in the WorldB. Oprah Winfrey — A Female Legend of Media BroadcastingC. The Oprah Winfrey Show— A Platform to Inspire PeopleD. The Oprah Winfrey Show— The Highest Rated Talk ShowCMindful eating is maintaining an in-the-moment awareness of the food and drink you put into your body. For many of us, our busy daily lives often make mealtimes rushed things. We find ourselves eating in the car going to work, at the desk in front of a computer screen, or parked on the couch watching TV. We eat mindlessly, taking food down regardless of whether we’re still hungry or not. In fact, we often eat for other reasons instead of hunger — to satisfy emotional needs, to free from stress, or deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, anxiety, loneliness, orboredom. Mindful eating is the opposite of this kind of unhealthy “mindless” eating.Mindful eating isn’t about being perfect, always eating the right things, or never allowing yourself to eat on-the-go again. And it’s not about establishing strict rules for which foods you have to include or avoid in your diet. Rather, it’s about focusing all your senses and being present as you shop for, cook, serve, and eat your food.While mindfulness isn’t for everyone, many people find it worth trying. By paying close attention to how you feel as you eat, you can learn to enjoy both your food and the experience of eating. It can keep you full with less food, and influence wiser choices about what you eat in the future. It can also help you free yourself from unhealthy habits.To practice mindfulness, you need to participate in an activity with total awareness. In the case of mindful eating, it’s important to eat with all your attention rather than on multitasking (reading, watching TV, daydreaming, etc). When your attention moves away, gently bring it back to your food and the experience of cooking, serving, and eating.28. Which of the following belongs to mindful eating?A. Eating while driving.B. Eating as quickly as possible.C. Eating to fill emotional needs.D. Eating only to satisfy physical hunger.29. What does the underlined word “on-the-go” mean in paragraph 2?A. Rudely.B. Crazily.C. Irregularly.D. Hurriedly.30. What’s the author’s attitude towards mindful eating?A. It’s a trend in weight loss.B. It’s worthwhile to have a go.C. It’s a universal rule of diet.D. It’s helpful to keep energetic.31. What might be talked about in the following paragraph?A. The benefits of mindful eating.B. The practice of mindful eating.C. The reasons for mindful eating.D. The spread of mindful eating.DArtificial cloud technology could soon be used in the fight against environmental damage. Researchers in Australia have used machines to spray salt water into the air, and noted that the reflective qualities of these artificial clouds helped protect the Great Barrier Reef from sun bleaching(漂白).The so-called cloud brightening project works by thickening existing clouds and reducing sunlight exposure to protect the reef. No artificial chemicals make it into the clouds in the sky. When water droplets steam, they leave only small salt crystals that float up into the atmosphere. This provides a larger surface area for water vapor to be liquids around them, forming thicker clouds.The past two years have seen uncommon forest fires and droughts triggered by the climate change emergency, meaning that widespread use of this technique may become more commonplace if carbon emissions are not checked.Drones, unmanned flying vehicles, have also entered the cloud controlling picture, used in the United Arab Emirates, a country desperately in need of more rainfall, to deliver electrical shocks to clouds in order to facilitate rainfall. Zapping(击打) clouds to produce a positive or negative charge within clouds can cause water droplets to form together. The greater the charge, the larger the droplets, which is vital for ensuring that as much rain as possible reaches the surface before steam gives off all the hard-won moisture(水分).Even if one waves aside climate change, global water shortages are still an increasing concern, given the planet’s booming population. More people mean more mouths to feed, and the demand for water in agriculture for animals and crops further increases urgency for cloud controlling technology. An increase in rain also leads to positive economic growth in many countries, as large harvests stabilize financial systems and living standards in all climates.Increasingly, scientists are looking to our skies in providing solutions to protect our environment. Cloud controlling technologies have promise. However, for this field of science to become practical economically, more research needs to be done in making this process a practicable option in protecting our environment.32. How does the cloud brightening project work?A. By creating more water vapor which later becomes liquids.B. By spraying chemicals and small salt crystals into the atmosphere.C. By expanding the water vapor area and blocking more sunlight.D. By steaming water droplets to provide a larger surface area.33. What do we know about drones from paragraph 4?A. They spread larger water droplets.B. They charge clouds to promote rain.C. They will be popularized in dry years.D. They control the movements of clouds.34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Problems of overpopulation.B. Solutions to water shortage.C. Urgency of economic development.D. Additional benefit of cloud technology.35. Which aspect does the author think should be improved?A. High cost.B. Research method.C. Environmental impact.D. Complicated process.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

"If she says any more rude things to you,I'll go to your teacher and make sure you are never in a situation where you have to sit next to her again. "By this time,Allyson,my then eight-year-old,had joined us,listening to every word.Neither of my daughters interrupted as I finished my heartfelt speech,filled with motherlywisdom.Then,as I was telling each of them what I thought right,Allyson's real words of wisdom came about. "Mom," she said. "I was just thinking.Maybe Abby is supposed to be that girl's friend so that she can bear her.Maybe Abby can let that girl see forgiveness and goodness through her. " I didn't expect to become a student.At that moment,I realized that even though I was working hard to wear "Mother's Hat"，the "hat" certainly didn't make me right.In fact,I wanted to pull that hat over my face and hide.On the other hand,it did comfort and surprise me. "Yes,that's a good point," I commented,forcing a half smile at my girls. "Abby,you handle this situation the way you think is right. ""OK，" she said,giving me a quick hug before walking out of the door and off to school. "Bye,Mom! " Allyson called,following her big sister out the door.I was left alone.In those following quiet moments I was lost in thought and thought about mytwo remarkable daughters,who are little in height but big in heart as well as a lesson—sometimes our children have great lessons to teach us,if we only listen.9.What bothered the author at first？______A. Her daughter's teacher was irresponsible.B. Her daughter hardly communicated with her.C. Her daughter didn't perform well in school.D.

Children may be their parents' teachers.C. Listening creates a deeper connection.D. Kindness has the power to make changes.CThe old saying "A rolling stone gathers no moss（苔葬）" has evolved over the years,coming to mean that one must keep moving in order to stay fresh,particularly when it comes to a career.But,what about those who are always moving around,doing so to only gather moss？People like Dr.Ma Wenzhang from the Herbarium（标本馆）of Kunming Institute of Botany,Chinese Academy of Sciences,for example.Unlike common specimen（标本）administrators who spend most of their time in the herbarium,Ma enjoys fieldwork.Each year,he spends around three months in the field,with each trip averaging seven to fifteen days.His colleagues think he is a " weirdo".Hehikes,climbs,eats wild mushrooms and sleeps with dangerous animals,all just to collect moss samples.Getting lost in the deep forest is also a common occurrence for Ma,whose main focus iscollecting moss. "Ma can bear hardship.He spends a lot of time in the field,especially some places deep in the mountains,to collect samples," Zhang Li,director of bryophytes professional committee of the Botanical Society of China,says. "He has the sharp eyes to find moss in the forest at a glance."Over the past decade,Ma has gone on nearly 70 field trips and collected more than 11，000 moss samples. "When I see a really good sample,I will be amazed by its shining light," he says.To observe the moss under a microscope is also where Ma finds the true beauty of his samples. "It's interesting to see the cell structure of the moss," Ma says.A new species of moss from Yunnan Province,which was discovered by Ma,was named after him in 2018-Mawenzhangia thamnobryoides-a great honor for a specimen worker.13.Why is the old saying used in the beginning？______A. To explain its meaning.B. To tell an attitude to careers.C. To introduce Ma's story with moss.D. To describe a natural phenomenon.14.What does the underlined word "weirdo" in paragraph 3 mean？______A. A confident person.B. A strange person.C. A modest person.D. A hardworking person.15.What is Mawenzhangia thamnobryoides？______A. The cell structure of the moss.B. The name of a species of moss.C. The award for Ma's contribution.D. The sample named after Ma.16.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？______A. Discovery.B. Opinion.C. Nature.D. Figure.DThe secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists.It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time between childhood 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 the University of California,help to answer thisquestion 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, it can 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 relatives"，"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.17.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.18.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.19.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.20.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 world三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共7.5分）Summer holiday is a time for sunbathing,swimming,playing games...and learning？It can,and maybe should be,just because that your kids are off from schools doesn't mean they need to turn their brains off.（1）______ The following are activities your child can try during this holiday break.• Get a job.Encourage them to get a paper route,operate a lemonade stand or offer to do yard work for neighbors for a small fee.By doing so,your child can learn valuable lessons,like patience,teamwork and creativity.In many ways these life lessons are invaluable.（2）______ • Volunteer for some service.If your child can't operate their own business or find work elsewhere,volunteering is always an option.（3）______ Volunteering is another way they can learn invaluable lessons such as helping others.• Read,read,read.Reading is an important ability that is used in nearly all other subjects.It's a good idea to keep your child's reading and comprehension skills sharp during the months.（4）______ Since so many kids respond to electronic devices,have them read on a Nook or Kindle,if possible.•（5）______ If you're like many families,you might be taking a week-long vacation to the beach or taking trips to amusement parks.These activities are a big part of theseason.However,if it's educational value you're looking for you might want to take some other travels as well.Zoos,museums,historical sites and nature reserves are just a few places where your child can have fun and learn at the same time.A.Go on meaningful trips.B.Travel across various places.C.Encourage them to bring a book to the beach or pool.D.They are required to read a specific number of books.E.You should make sure your child has a productive summer.F.They could donate their time to hospitals or homeless shelters.G.They can't be taught in class as effectively as through hands-on experiences.21.

AThere are apps for almost everything. Here are some of the best free apps that are well received by smartphone users.StorySignStorySign is designed to help deaf children learn to read. With a book in hand, just point your phone’s camera at the page and an animated character in StorySign will read the page in sign language. And children will both enjoy the books and learn to read in the process. Even in its limited form, StorySign is well worth trying if you have a deaf child young enough to appreciate it, but we expect this app will keep getting better as its library grows.PlantNetWherever you are, chances are there are hundreds of different plant species within walking distance, and most of us have no idea what all but the most common are called. PlantNet aims to make identifying them easier—simply take a photo and the app will try to identify what kind of plant you’re seeing.Google PhotosGoogle Photos stands out among hundreds of photo apps, as it gives you unlimited storage for photos and videos. But with basic editing tools and the ability to make albums, it’s more than just photo and video storage. It aims to be your first and last stop after taking a picture. To achieve that, it will need a few more steps, but it’s well on its way.SoonSoon is an app that lets you create lists of books you want to read, movies you want to watch, restaurants you want to try and more. You can select from a number of categories, including games, shops, bars, museums and TV shows and then make a list of the ones that interest you. It’s a great app for anyone struggling to remember the things they want to watch, visit, read, play and listen to.21.Who is StorvSign mainly intended for?A. Any child fond of stories.B. Children who lose their hearing.C. Any child who enjoys reading.D. Children interested in sign language.22.What do StorySign and Google Photos share?A. They both need improving.B.

Soon is especially suitable for forgetful people.BWhen Capt. Greg Galeazzi joined the Army seven years ago, he was well aware of the risks of injuries or even death he would face. In 2011, the risks became Galeazzi’s reality—he got terribly injured in an explosion where he lost his double legs. “I was a shell of a man,” he said. “Who I was, was gone.”Before his injury, playing the guitar had been a special pastime for Galeazzi. Music had always been important to him. He felt deep sadness because he thought he’d lost his ability to play music.However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps. a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.”Bloom, a graduate of the Yale School of Music, offers his services to patients at Walter Reed who have an interest in playing an instrument. Program participants practice technique, write and record music. Or they may just get together for a jam session (即兴演奏会).The journey to recovery for many soldiers is a long one. It can require dozens of operations and many years spent in hospitals. There’s so much downtime at Walter Reed, and that’s what they fill up with music.Since 2007, Bloom and his group have helped hundreds of wounded soldiers. For Galeazzi, joining MusiCorps has helped restore his confidence and made him more optimistic about his future. “Something survived that horrible injury in Afghanistan,” Galeazzi said. “Arthur and his program changed my outlook on what is possible.”“I’ve seen guys going through such a hard time with their injuries that they are very withdrawn,” Bloom said. “The music becomes their new way of communicating. It can be just as powerful as the spoken word. By injecting music into this space, we can inject life.”24.Which of the following is NOT true about Greg Galeazzi?A. He clearly knew the risks he would take of being a soldier.B. He was at one time in total depression about losing his legs.C. Joining MusiCorps started up his enthusiasm in playing music.D. It was music that played a key role in healing his soul.25.What does the MusiCorps mainly aim to do according to Arthur?A. To offer the participants professional help on how to produce music.B. To reduce the pain in the participants’ medical treatment.C. To organize music performances by the participants.D. To help the injured soldiers regain confidence in life through music.26.What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Odd.B. Shy.C. Scared.D. Painful.27.What is the best title for the text?A. Music heals the woundedB. Confidence rebuilds one in hopelessness温馨提示：需要更多“四大名校”及全国名校资料请微信添加：188****7481，每天添加人数过多请备注信息或微信搜索C. He who loses faith, loses allD. Music knows no bordersCIt is interesting when you think about how Japan is a nation that appreciates silence and good manners, and yet when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.According to lifestyle website grapee. jp, slurping (发出“哧溜”声) when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture. It is believed that taking air into your mouth can improve the flavor of the noodles, and that it helps cool down the noodles. It is also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.It was not until a new expression “noodle harassment (骚扰)”, or “hu-hara” in Japanese came out last year on social media that Japanese people started to realize that the slurping noise is making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling fork last month. The fork, which looks like an electric toothbrush, is connected to a smartphone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork sends a signal to the person’s phone, making it play a sound to mask the slurping noise. “The fork is a solution to the ‘noodle harassment’ issue, particularly as the number of tourists visiting Japan increases,” said the company, according to Euronews.But is it really necessary?Dining traditions do vary. What is considered to be proper table manners in one country is likely to be seen as rude in another. In India, for example, people eat with their hands because they think in this way they build a connection with the food. However, people who are used to eating with utensils (餐具) might find it uncomfortable to get their hands covered in oil and bits of food. But this eating method is part of India’s culture, just like Japan’s slurping. It is common and an everyday part of the nation’s culture.Reporter Brian Ashcraft on blog Kotaku wrote “If anyone gets annoyed while you are slurping, pay them no mind because they are missing the point entirely.”28.Which of the following is NOT a reason for Japanese to slurp when eating noodles?A. It makes the noodles taste more delicious.B. It enables their dining experience to be more pleasant.C. It shows appreciation for the food they eat.D. It keeps the noodles warm in their mouth.29.What do we know about the noise-canceling fork?A. It stops its users from slurping.B. It plays a sound to cover the slurping.C. It needs a smartphone to be connected.D. It functions as an electronic toothbrush.30.The dining tradition in India is mentioned to .A. give an example of different table mannersB. show a more annoying eating habit than slurpingC. indicate the Indians’ dislike of slurping温馨提示：需要更多“四大名校”及全国名校资料请微信添加：188****7481，每天添加人数过多请备注信息或微信搜索D. prove the conflicts between different dining traditions31.How does Brian Ashcraft feel about slurping?A. Annoyed.B. Embarrassed.C. Favourable.D. Indifferent.DClimate change demands a food revolution. Faced with heat, drought, pests and diseases, the crops we eat every day might disappear in a generation or less, at least where they are currently grown. From beef and fish to chocolate and wine, one beloved food after another is joining the at-risk list.Take coffee. Right now, Arabica and Canephora, the most popular two species in the industry, are under urgent threat worldwide—as are the 125 million people who depend on coffee crops for their income. Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be negatively affected by even a half-degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by 1.3 degrees. This increase is enough to have significant effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by 45% since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by 60%. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations (海拔) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.Coffee is the second most traded goods by developing nations, and the inability of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their economics. Millions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee; their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become much more expensive, and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen. Not only that, but the economic effects will cost the West millions in increased foreign aid.32.Which is NOT one of the contributors to the disappearing food species?A. Drought.B. Poverty.C. Climate change.D. Pests.33.How does the author prove the effects of climate change on coffee planting?A. By listing examples of foods.B. By presenting figures.C. By making a prediction.D. By analyzing causes and effects.34.Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas?A. To adapt to the change of temperature.B. To increase the quality of the produce.C. To reduce the cost of coffee production.D. To get access to water supply more easily.35.What can be learnt from the last two paragraphs?A. The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.B. It will cost you more to have a cup of coffee.C. Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.D. Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.温馨提示：需要更多“四大名校”及全国名校资料请微信添加：188****7481，每天添加人数过多请备注信息或微信搜索第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I was walking over to visit my dad when it began raining heavily. Although his house was only a short walk from mine, I was wet all over and it chilled (使冰冷) my bones. I knocked on his door and stepped in. Warm steam was floating from the kitchen. It touched my nose, and suddenly, I was 8 years old again. Dad was making Nana’s special sauce.When I was growing up, Nana would make us an Italian feast every Sunday. She would slowly cook her spaghetti (意大利面) sauce for hours. Then she would drop in potatoes, chicken, meatballs, sausage and sometimes even steak. When it was done, we would mix it in the spaghetti, fix the plates and sprinkle(洒) it on the cheese. It always left our bellies full, our hearts happy and the house smelling heavenly.I sat down while Dad made me a plate. It felt so good having a meal like we used to when I was a boy. We talked about those old times, my warm-hearted aunt and laughed over the memories, both good and bad. I didn’t feel cold any more.Dad and Nana have been gone for years now. I still miss them both every singleday. Although my daughter and I both know how to make Nana’s special sauce, we don’t cook it as often as we could. Maybe it is because no matter how hard I try, I can never get it 100 percent right. Maybe it was just the love with which Nana and Dad cooked it that made it so delicious. Either way, this winter, I’m going to make some again.4．How was the author feeling on his way to his father’s house? A．Excited. B．Cold. C．Tired. D．Warm.5．What can we learn about the Italian feast when the author was growing up? A．It was nice and delicious. B．He had to make it by himself. C．The spaghetti was mixed with everything. D．He never felt full after it. 6．Nana was most probably the author’s _________.A．sister B．wife C．aunt D．daughter 7．What is the best title for the passage?A．A Travel in Winter B．My Cooking ExperienceC．Nana and My Dad D．Special Sauce with LoveHaving worked with ACE(African Conservation Experience) before. I knew that I had their complete support throughout my trip.At the airport I was introduced to other volunteers who would be travelling to Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary with me. Upon arrival at the local town of Care for Wild, Nelspruit, we were met by a worker and we quickly got a sense of the importance of the project we were attending.My first proper day at the project. Just wow. To feed a rhino baby. To approach (接近) them with their cute mouths open wide in preparation for their milk. The heartwarming moment was bittersweet though, as I remembered the reason these sweet babies were here… their mothers were killed. Hearing the stories that resulted with each beautiful baby arriving at the project was heartbreaking.I put all my heart into the work at this project.Every day at the project was full of hard work. If you think it’s all about getting to cuddle (搂抱) and play with a baby rhino, that thought is wide of the mark as it’s not the purpose of this project. Preparing milk feeds. Bush walks. Night rides. The anti-poaching(反盗猎) dog unit training and the mountedunit checkups. But all the hard work was so worth it to see the babies running around or rolling in the mud(泥浆).If you are considering volunteering at Care for Wild, do it. Yes, it is hard work. Yes, you will be tired. But trust me when I say it is all so worth it.I have left with a great amount of love for this animal and I will continue to be a supporter of their care and protection. I hope that one day, rhinos will be able to live in the wild freely. Until then, it is up to us to continue to work hard towards it. What are you waiting for?8．Why did the author go to Nelspruit?A．To have an adventure. B．To get to know ACE further. C．To do research on wild animals. D．To help with wildlife protection. 9．How did the author feel during her first day at Care for Wild? A．Amazed but sad. B．Bored and lonely.C．Nervous but lucky. D．Proud and relaxed.10．What does the underlined part“wide of the mark”in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Creative. B．Comforting. C．Wrong. D．Unproven. 11．What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A．Describe life at Care for Wild.B．Call for people to stop poaching.C．Give an introduction to Care for Wild.D．Advise readers to volunteer at Care for Wild.二、其他Ways to make a great first impressionHere are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.● 12Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.● 13When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardlyknows you with a bad impression. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early. It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.● 14Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation. This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future.●Make good conversations.To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby. A．Be on time.B．Speak fluently.C． Have a proper handshake.D．Introduce yourself and ask for names.三、完形填空One day, I logged on to Facebook and realized that I was very close to havingnearing midnight and my 27 were disappearing. I finally realized thatno one else was coming. I 28 myself and promised that I would spend less time online. Then I took a gulp of the beer. It was delicious but 29 —seven hundred friends, and I was drinking alone.15．A．aware B．scared C．thoughtful D．proud 16．A．enemies B．strangers C．employers D．friends 17．A．made friends B．teamed up C．lost contact D．held conversations18．A．real-life B．imaginary C．ambitious D．digital 19．A．invitations B．responses C．callings D．beliefs 20．A．close B．honest C．potential D．available 21．A．confidence B．doubt C．carelessness D．impression 22．A．UnfortunatelyB．Eventually C．Unsurprisingly D．Actually 23．A．danced B．reasoned C．chatted D．argued 24．A．pretend B．deny C．explain D．grasp 25．A．found out B．turn out C．ran out of D．got rid of 26．A．fade B．decline C．wind D．grow 27．A．dreams B．hopes C．invitations D．appointments 28．A．toasted B．perceived C．believed D．predicted 29．A．precise B．bittersweet C．curious D．apparent四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.I was sure that “I” was right and “he” was wrong---and he was just as sure that “I” was wrong and “he” was right.The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other.In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. “White,” he answered.I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object.The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy was standing and told him to come to stand where I had been. We changed places, and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his side it was white. Only from my side it was black.My teacher ta ught me a very important lesson that day: You must stand in the other person’s shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective(看法).【1】When brought up to the front of the class, the two students were sitting ______.A．side by side B．face to faceC．back to back D．facing the blackboard【2】From the lesson we may infer that ______ is right.A．none of them B．the author’s classmatesC．the teacher D．the author【3】What can we conclude from the text?A．A lesson in the past should never be forgotten.B．A teacher should give students a lesson before the class.C．Every large, round object has two differently colored sides.D．We should imagine that we’re in the other person’s situation.【4】Which of the following can best describe the teacher?A．Patient.B．Wise.C．Rude.D．Kind.3.Your voice is the only way of communicating over the telephone. Even so, watch your body language and facial expressions---they affect the way you should. If you are depressed (失落), for example, you often will sound tired or breathless. To keep a healthy and bright tone in your voice, smile when talking on a phone.Don’t answer the phone in a rush. Stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and then breathe out slo wly as you pick up the receiver. If you recognize the other person’s voice, use his/her name on your greeting, and you will sound more relaxed. Use it again during the conversation and when saying goodbye. When making a difficult call, work out in advance exactly what you wish to say. Stand while making the call---it will help you sound firm.If you know somebody is going to talk a lot, make it clear at the start of the call that you have only a limited time. There are several ways to make a call short: “It’s been lovely talking to you, but I really must stop” or “I know you are quite busy, so I’d better go now.” If all fail, try, “My other line is ringing” or “I think there is someone at the door.”With the increasing use of tele-communication and cell phone, it has become of great importance that we pay special attention to HOW and WHAT we speak on the phones.【1】While you are making a call to someone, you ________________.A．can easily become tired and disappointedB．needn’t care for your body language t oo muchC．should try to make your voice healthy and brightD．had better keep friendly to the other people【2】Before answering a call from your friend, you should _________________a. keep calmb. stop for a whilec. use his/her named. take a deep breathe. stand straightA．a, b, d B．b, c, dC．c, d, e D．a, c, e【3】What is the best title of this passage?A．It’s good to keep your voice sweet.B．The body language is important.C．Voice has something to do with body language.D．How and what we speak on the phones.4.How and when did Australia begin? It is believed that Australian history began at the end of the eighteenth century. After several centuries of European Voyaging in the southern oceans, the English naval officer James Cook sailed the eastern coast in 1770, named it New South Wales and took control of it in the name of his king. Within twenty years, the British government sent a team of explorers to settle in New South Wales. On 26 January 1788, its commander, Arthur Phillip, began to rule over the eastern half of the country. The thousand officers, soldiers, officials, and prisoners who got off from the eleven ships of the First Fleet, anchored (停泊) in the port of Sydney. They prepared the way for later immigrants who spread out over the continent.This is the story of a sleep land brought to life by Endeavour, the name given to Cook’s ship and the quality given to those who followed him.The newcomers brought with them some animals, plants and tools. They also brought with them new ideas. That achievement in turn shaped what Australia is now.【1】According to this passage, Australian history began at the end of ____________.A．the sixteenth centuryB．the seventeenth centuryC．the eighteenth centuryD．the nineteenth century【2】The eastern coast of Australia was named New South Wales in 1770.

Now we don’t know where the name came from but it is very different from the football we know. However, the more you know about it, the better you will like it.【2】. This is of importance because it helps make sure the game is fair. This year, it was held in Houston, Texas. It was a great game, and the two teams that made it to the final were similar in strength. No one could tell who would win the game until the last few seconds.【3】.The Patriot won by 3 points.Each year, the Super Bowl is broadcast on TV all over the world.【4】. A ticket for this year game cost US $2,000-4,250. This is about one month’s salary for many Americans. Pretty expensive, isn’t it?

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AWith school out and hot weather in, it’s not unusual for youngsters t o gather around the refrigerator or the television rather than take part in active play. Such habits may be relaxing but can wreck a healthy lifestyle, say specialists at Texas Children’s Hospital.“For some kids, the state of feeling bored triggers（引发）eat ing,” says Jennifer Thomas, a doctor at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas.“A child can pick up 5 to 10 pounds over the course of a summer, so it’s important to recognize the difference between boredom（无聊）and hunger.”Because children may be adjusting（适应）to lack of routine, adding some structure to their daily schedules can help. “For example, instead of letting kids eat while they watch television, permit eating only in the kitchen with the television turned off,” says Thomas. “This way can help determine if they are really hungry or just bored.”If hunger causes a snack attack, nutritious snacks should be available（可得到的）and easy to reach, says Thomas. She suggests two or more servings of fruit and three or more servings of vegetables as a reasonable（合情理的）daily goal. Thomas says, “Fresh or frozen fruit is better than fruit juice. Fresh or frozen vegetables are better because canned vegetables usually contain salt.”In general, kids should avoid snacks with high sugar content, says Thomas. “More imp ortantly, if a sugary snack takes the place of healthier food, the child is not getting the nutrition he or she needs. High-fat food tends to make a child feel worried, while eating foods that are naturally lower in fat will make it easier for kids to feel more energetic and stay on the go.”51. What can help to stop children from eating because of boredom?A. Giving them a daily schedule.B. Giving them a lot of snacks.C. Preventing them from watching TV.D. Making them eat a lot of fruits.52. What kind of snacks should we give children?A. Fruit juice.B. Frozen fruit.C. Canned vegetables.D. Snacks rich in sugar.53. Foods that are naturally lower in fat are necessary for children because _______.A. they help children lose weightB. they help children get necessary nutritionC. they stop children from getting boredD. they make children active and energetic54. We can infer from the text that _______.A. it’s hard to tell the difference between boredom and hungerB. children may get bored for lack of routine in summerC. we should limit children’s eating while they’re watching TVD. nutritious snacks should be available at any time55. The underlined word “wreck”in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.A. improveB. changeC. ruinD.includeBWhen you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Copenhagen’s Bella Sky Hotel, you’ll be greeted by soft roses and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beauty products. This is Euro pe’s first hotel floor dedicated（专用的）entirely to women—and according to the hotel’s CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women.“Women’s hotel preferences（偏爱）are very different from men’s with key priorities（优先考虑的事）being to feel safe a nd comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors.It seems that they are helped by the boom（繁荣）in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in , up from approximately 25% in 1991.Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering（迎合）for women.At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings（预订）for their “Duchess Rooms”，which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.56. We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _______.A. is the first hotel designed for womenB. offers special service to women guestsC. has a big garden with all kinds of flowersD. can arrange rooms according to guests’ wishes57. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us _______.A. men are wiser in choosing hotelsB. guests usually care about comfort mostC. women differ from men in judging a hotelD. hotels have difficulty satisfying each guest58. What can we learn from the text?A. Men guest s usually don’t care about hotels’ cleanliness.B. Living in a hotel, women guests may consider their safety.C. Women business travelers spend more than men in hotels.D. In the US the number of women travelers is higher than men.59. The example of the London Dukes Hotel is used to show ________.A. London is known for hotel managementB. guests like to experience different hotelsC. the new hotel service is very popularD. hotel industry is developing rapidly60. What is the text mainly about?A. How to run hotels.B. A new practice in hotel service.C. Different hotels’ service in the world.D. Differences between men and women hotel guests.CIt is now February 7, 2035. The search engine TalkTalk will be open to the public next week and this service will soon be something beyond your imagination. For the first time you can not only talk to the search engine, but you can discuss with it what you are looking for.For exam ple, if you want to know more about the oil price, TalkTalk asks if you want to know the current oil price, the development of the oil price, or news related to the oil price. You say that you want to read news about it and TalkTalk then directs you to your source, or lets you have the latest news related to the oil price in order from the most respectable sources.Compared with other search services that use a certain algorithm (程序) to pr ovide data from a search, the artificial intelligence (人工智能) behind TalkTalk is said to easily spot if a certain source is aiming to cheat the searcher. TalkTalk also judges and stores every g iven reply and discussion, to learn how to give correct answers. TalkTalk is also set to answer questions directly where there is a definite answer. How well this will work in the long run is yet to be seen, but thousands of people have tested TalkTalk and the quality is really good.The first talking search engine saw the light of day more than 30 years ago and was ca lled Speegle. It could read the results from a written search on the Internet, and was mostly for blind people.So far, TalkTalk cannot read the information from a certain source to you by phone, if it is not freely available. There are currently talks to find an arrangement for this, but it would most likely be difficult because of copyright(版权).TalkTalk is available over the Internet and also by phone, even though it only speaks English. There are no plans to add other languages in the near future, most likely because it will cost a lot of money. When you are tired of aski ng TalkTalk all your questions, just ask, “Where is TalkTalk?” and you will get an answer that will make you leave it with a smile on your lips.61. The example in Paragraph 2 is given to show.A. how to use the search engine TalkTalkB. how to search for news on the InternetC. the oil price is a very hot issue currentlyD. TalkTalk has a very high intelligence62. The advantage of TalkTalk is that it can.A. be available wherever you goB. tell if a certain source is reliableC. read the search results for youD. offer different kinds of search results63. What can be inferred from the text?A. TalkTalk can read all the information online.B. TalkTalk will speak other languages soon.C. TalkTalk may have a bright future.D. TalkTalk is very expensive.64. What would be the best title for the text?A. Hello, TalkTalkB. Where is TalkTalkC. TalkTalk is improvingD. Development of search engines65. In which part of a future newspaper can you read the text?A. Opinion.B. Culture.C. Lifestyle.D. Technology.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Everyone who chooses not to take the final exam will get a ‘B’ for the course.”Most of the students jumped out of their seats. They thanked the teacher happily, and walked out of the classroom. Only a few students stayed. The teacher looked at them. “This is your last chance,” he said. “Does anyone else want to leave?” All the students there stayed in their seats and took out their p encils.The teacher smiled. “Congratulations (祝贺),” he said. “I’m glad to see you believe in yourselves.

You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleep ing position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep. If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.【1】You may find the passage in_____.A．a science magazine B．a guide bookC．a sports newspaper D．a story book【2】When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?A．In the daytime.B．At the beginning of sleep.C．At night.D．During the deep sleep.【3】Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends.

2022年湖南省长沙市长郡中学高一下学期期末考试 英语试卷
2021-2022学年湖南省长沙市长郡中学高一下学期期末试卷第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。
AYou know that classics like Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird started as novels．But you probably didn't know that these other famous movies also came from books．Hidden FiguresThis film told the story of real-life Katherine Johnson and other female African-American mathematicians who helped drive the United States into space in the 1960s．It was actually based on a 2016 nonfiction book and the movie did increase sales of the book．Forrest GumpThe 1994 movie which was based on the book by Winston Groom won six Academy Awards，including Best Picture and Best Actor for the star Tom Hanks．Although the movie is critical and box-office success gave the book a huge increase，it's the film that made its mark on pop culture history．The Girl on the TrainPaula Hawkin's psychological thriller，about a woman on a train who thinks she sees something strange out of the window，was a huge success．But unlike the fast-paced，can't-be-put-down quality of the novel，the movie was boring．Field of DreamsIt's hard to describe the plot of this movie：Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield，and what happens next explores the themes of lost dreams，childhood heroes，and healing the pain of the past．The 1989 movie is loyal to W．P．Kinsella's 1982 original，Shoeless Joe，but cuts out some extra characters．21．Which is the best choice for a person who loves math？A．Hidden Figures．B．Forrest Gump．C．The Girl on the Train．D．Field of Dreams．22．Who has won the Academy Award for Best Actor according to the text？A．Kevin Costner．B．Winston Groom．C．Tom Hanks．D．W．P．Kinsella．23．What is special about Field of Dreams？A．It is a romantic comedy．B．It presents several themes．C．It was released in 1982 for the first time．D．It shows all the figures in Shoeless Joe．BKwane Stewart stepped outside a convenience store and spotted a homeless man with a small dog sitting in thelap．Stewart，a vet at an animal shelter，noticed its scratched-off furs—signs of an allergic reaction to fleas（跳蚤）．He approached the man and offered to bring flea medications for the dog's skin，a gift the man readily accepted．“I remember returning a week later，and the hair was coming back，the red spots on its skin were gone，” Stewart told the Modesto Bee．The man said his dog was no longer staying up scratching and was sleeping well．“‘And you know，’ he said，‘I'm sleeping at night．’ He started to cry，and that got me choked up too，” Stewart said．Stewart was hooked．“When you give back，there is something you get in return that feels much larger．I knew I wanted to keep doing it，”he told medium．com．Today，Stewart，50，has his own practice in town，yet he still finds time for street pets．He's helped roughly 400 animals since 2011，mostly dogs but also a few cats．There's a strong need for his kind of help．About 25 percent of Modesto's homeless population own a pet，but there are few health-care options available to them．To fill that void，Stewart，using his free time，wanders dark alleyways and underpasses，anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out．He carries his medical bag，which contains treatments—vaccines，antibiotics，flea medications，and more．Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket．For those expensive procedures，he set up a GoFundMe account to provide enough money for treatment．“I don't ever want to have to turn anybody away，” he explains．He knows there are some people who question whether the homeless should even have pets．How can they care for them on the street？Stewart told the Bee，“I think that more than anybody，they need a pet．They love their pets probably more than the average person．”24．What did Stewart do for the homeless man's dog？A．He brought some medicine to it．B．He sent a unique gift to it．C．He cured its allergy to dust．D．He scratched it to help it sleep well．25．What does the underlined w ord “void” mean in Paragraph 3？A．Time．B．Gap．C．Desire．D．Choice．26．Why does Stewart set up GoFundMe for sick dogs？A．To give free medical treatment．B．To offer a comfortable shelter．C．To pay the cost of healthcare．D．To provide care and adoption．27．Which of the following is a suitable title of the text？A．The Homeless Dogs B．GoFundMeC．Animal Shelters D．A Street VetCOne New Year’s Day，ecologist Rob Wolton came up with an unusual resolution-to spend the next 12 months studying a hedge（树篱）40 metres from his house in the middle of Devon．He wanted to make a list of every plant，animal and fungus（真菌）that used it．After a year of observations he had found 2，000 species—far more than he imagined．Wolton says he enjoyed it hugely and his findings contribute to the growing body of evidence that hedges should not be overlooked．“There is increa sing recognition that much of the wildlife finds shelter in the hedges．But they're much more than just wildlife passages-they are really important as habitats in their own right，” he says．The European commission's Joint Research Centre recently argued that as the climate crisis worsens，hedges are expected to play more roles as they move in response to environmental change．Their deep roots help sequester carbon（固碳），and they also reduce the likelihood of flooding downstream，suck nutrients and pollutants out of water，and prevent soil loss．Alongside these functions，there is a cultural benefit to hedges too—I think lots of us who live in England think of the hedge landscape as being quite typical，says Wolton．After the Second World War many hedges were removed to create more productive land．Only about one in three hedges in England are in good condition，according to the most recent research done in 2017．The main issues are hedges being cut too severely and too frequently，which leads to loss of wildlife and gaps．A squirrel，for example，will turn around if there is a gap of five metres．New hedges are being planted with single species，instead of many，which decrease the wildlife they can support．It's hard to say if interest in hedges will translate into action on a national scale，and much depends on what landscape features Environmental Land Management scheme．28．What is the significance of Wolton's study of the hedge？A．It makes Wolton’s resolution come true．B．It shows Wolton's fondness of the hedge．C．It indicates the important role of the hedge．D．It points out the number of animals and plants．29．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？A．Hedges provide home for wildlife．B．Hedges are used to fight climate crisis．C．Hedges are a typical symbol of England．D．Hedges have advantages in different aspects．30．Why does the author mention “A squirrel" in Paragraph 4？A．To show the diversity of wildlife in hedges．B．To explain the bad effect of gaps in hedges．C．To call for more species of plants in hedges．D．To present what the loss of wildlife is like．31．What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．The favorable policy on hedges is undecided．B．Public attention in hedges will be intensified．C．A national scale protection is soon under way．D．Environmental Land Management will fund hedges．DDid you know roughly one third of food for human consumption goes to waste？Most of it is fresh fruits and vegetables that go bad．The produce dries out or goes bad，which has led scientists to develop ways of coating or sealing the food to keep it fresher for longer．Now research at Rice University reveals there might be a better way．Scientists discovered that dipping produce like strawberries and bananas into an egg-based wash is remarkably good for preserving it．The coating is extremely thick，and made from a mixture of powdered egg whites and yolks（70%），and some wood-sourced cellulose（纤维素）to act as a barrier preventing water loss．What the scientists found was that the egg-based wash made a significant difference in helping produce stay fresh over a two-week observation period．The appearance of the coated fruits and vegetables didn't change much，while the uncoated produce ripened and even rotted within the same time frame．The egg-based coating，as it turned out，reduced each fruit's chance to get exposed to oxygen．The non-poisonous coating was found to be flexible and tests showed that it was just as tough as other products，including synthetic films（合成膜），used in produce packaging．For anyone with an egg allergy，the coating can be removed by thorough washing in water and is tasteless．The scientists hope this could be a breakthrough in the fight against food waste．“Reducing food shortages in ways that are not related to genetic modification，uneatable coatings or chemical additives is important for better sustainable living，” said materials scientist and study author Pulickel Ajayan．What's great about this discovery is that it fights food waste in more than one way：even the coating was made from eggs that would otherwise have been thrown away because they weren't fit for consumption．The researchers said roughly 200 million of US produced eggs go to waste annually．So if this were scaled up，it could be a win-win situation all around．32．How does the egg-based wash help keep food fresh？A．By making its coating less thick．B．By limiting its oxygen exposure．C．By removing its cellulose slowly．D．By improving its absorbent ability．33．Why is Pulickel Ajayan mentioned in the text？A．To stress the seriousness of food shortage．B．To show the significance of the discovery．C．To offer the method of cutting food waste．D．To give brief description of the research．34．What is the researchers' attitude towards the application of this discovery？A．Optimistic．B．Doubtful．C．Cautious．D．Indifferent．35．What is the text mainly about？A．How to use eggs creatively．B．A breakthrough in technology．C．How to recycle food waste．D．A new way to preserve food．第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families.Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Gutiérrez’s community library is a true representation of how one man’s garbage can be another’s treasure.Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez.Today, his makeshift community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home in southern Bogota, and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books! As the word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him many more books to grow his library.Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading.Gutiérrez’s journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of howevery one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez’s books and impact the less fortunate around us?4．What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books?A．The abandoned Anna Karenina.B．Leo Tolstoy’s life.C．Children’s living conditions.D．A community library.5．Why did Gutiérrez start “The Strength of Words”?A．To create a harmonious neighborhood.B．To give his mother sufficient books.C．To promote children’s reading.D．To improve the community life.6．What can best describe Gutiérrez?A．Devoted and talented.B．Intelligent and generous.C．Passionate and well-educated.D．Creative and caring.7．What would be the best title for the text?A．Desire for Reading B．From Garbage to TreasureC．Gutiérrez’s Life D．An Amazing Model of EducationI wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it.To my friend A,All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother’s embrace, and my father’s, not to mention my extended family’s, have kept me going.We are used to hearing about how motherhood limits your life, less so about how it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally about human relationships, and havinga baby has enhanced mine. Becoming a mother—and giving birth—has enhanced my feelings of unity with other women. Parenting has also allowed me to experience childhood again. I have always wanted to give someone else a childhood. My wide-eyed little boy is at the stage where he is simply in love with the world, and that love is thrillingly unconditional. It is a privilege to witness, and it makes me determined to maintain it for him as much as I am able to, because his laugh is the best sound that I have ever heard.A note about sleep: you will be OK—you’ve had enough wild nights to know you can cope. And you can get your body back, whatever that might mean to you. As for your career, it’s normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to.8．Who might be the intended audience for this article?A．Self-centered parents.B．Those fearing to have a baby.C．Broken-hearted friends.D．Those avoiding marriage.9．How does the author mainly make her arguments convincing?A．By explaining ideas.B．By quoting sayings.C．By comparing facts.D．By concluding opinions.10．Why does the author give examples of her writing in the last paragraph?A．To show how successful she was as a writer.B．To note that where there is a will there is a way.C．To tell her friend that giving birth is a piece of cake.D．To persuade her friend not to worry about her career.11．Which column may the article be chosen from?A．Opinion.B．Headline.C．Health.D．Culture.For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no.The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies.The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread.The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier.It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven.12．What do the researchers focus on about the brain?A．Its protecting system.B．Its exposure to diseases.C．Its controlling function.D．Its connection to the body.13．How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2?A．By explaining a theory.B．By providing examples.C．By making comparisons.D．By presenting cause and effect. 14．Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier?A．Cheaper.B．More specific.C．Safer.D．More direct.15．What does the study suggest in the last paragraph?A．Brain health depends on immune changes.B．Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions.C．The brain can help enhance psychological health.D．The brain may be key to treating physical diseases.For many websites, there is tons of information that’s inaccurate, or just crazy. 16 With that in mind, here are four ways to find reliable websites.Look for established institutions (确立的机构). 17 However, what you want are sites associated with trusted institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organizations or universities.Consult sites with expertise (专门知识). You wouldn’t go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point. 18 For example, if you’re writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites like The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Avoid commercial (商业的) sites. Sites run by companies and businesses—their websites usually end with “.com”—are often trying to sell you something. And if they’re trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they’re presenting will be tilted (偏向) in favor of their product. 19 But be cautious (谨慎).20 Respected websites often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you’re researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that’s a good sign. Then it seems that you don’t need to worry too much.A．Check the links.B．Enter the following text into the search field.C．Look for websites that specialize in what you’re seeking.D．If a website seems old, it’s probably best to keep distance from it.E．The Internet is full of websites that were started five minutes ago.F．That’s not to say commercial sites should be screened (屏蔽) entirely.G．For inexperienced researchers, these sites can cause a wide range of problems.二、完形填空Anna was a 9-year-old girl from a small village.

I remembered one of his one night when I was ready to quit(退出) a political movement I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.Tired, feeling the many months of struggle, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer when I up one of Dad’s old business cards that he was so proud of. Then I thought about how he with difficult situation. A lot of pictures appeared into my idea, but one scene came sharply into view.We had just moved to Hollywood, New York. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even . One, in particular, was a great blue spruce(云杉) that must have been 40 feet tall.Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible . We came home from the store that night to find the spruce almost totally from the ground and thrown onto the street. When my brother Frankie and I saw the spruce, our heart . But not Dad’s.The rain was . Then he announced, “Ok, we’re going to push him up!” “What are you talking about, Dad? The roots are out of the ground !” “Shut up; we’re going to push him up; he’s going to.” We couldn’t say no to him. So we followed him into the house and we got what rope there was and we tied the rope around the top of the tree that lay on the street and he stood up by the house, with me on the rope and Frankie in the street in the rain, helping to up the great blue spruce. In no time at all, we had it standing up straight again!Dad stakes(木桩) in the ground, tied rope from the trunk(树干) to the stakes, and said, “Don’t worry, he is going to grow again...”I looked at the card and wanted to cry.

Pulling the ears 20 times is found to be an effective way to reduce the pressure on one's eyes.四、阅读理解passion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our mai n customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register （收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.I couldn’t help staring at him, I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world, I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable（可怜的）. “Charge it to me” was all he said.What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either, then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.【1】The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ________.A．promised to obey the store rulesB．forgot to take any money with himC．hoped to have the food first and pay laterD．could not afford anything more expensive【2】Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?A．Kind and lucky.B．Poor and lonely.C．Friendly and helpful.D．Hurt and disappointed.【3】The writer acted upon the store rules because ________.A．he wanted to keep his present jobB．he felt no pity for the old gentlemanC．he considered the old man dishonestD．he expected someone else to pay for the old man【4】What does the writer learn from his experience?A．wealth is more important than anything else.B．Helping others is easier said than done.C．experience is better gained through practice.D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.【5】How would the old men feel at the end of the story?A．Sad and disappointed.B．Happy and lucky.C．Depressed and unlucky.D．Surprised and grateful.2.If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter(（中枢神经系统的）灰白质). This is the area of the brain which processes(加工,处理) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University of London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilin guals（双语者）” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.【1】The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.A．science on learning a second languageB．language learning and the increase in one’s brain power.C．man’s ability of learning a second languageD．language learning and the study of maths【2】 In the second paragraph, the writer mentions exercise in order to _____.A．say language is also a kind of physical labourB．prove that one needs more practice when he or she is learning a languageC．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work wellD．to show the importance of using the language when you learn it.【3】What change can we get during the experience of learning a second language?A．The increase of the ability to learn.B．The development of muscles.C．The improvement of strange pronunciation.D．A worse understanding of different ideas.【4】We may know from the scientific findings that _______.A．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second languageB．the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brainC．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the timeD．the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is【5】In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ______.A．learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB．Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageC．early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsD．you’d better start to learn a second language between 2 and 343.While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”.In order to find better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon（现象）”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症）.【1】 According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by ________.A．their earlier experience of living aloneB．the poor living conditions in their native countriesC．the common worry that they have not saved much moneyD．the distance between where parents live and where their children live【2】Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to ________.A．realize their dreams in foreign countriesB．seek a better place for their aged parentsC．live in the countries with more moneyD．continue their studies abroad【3】If young people go abroad, ________.A．they do not hold to the value of duty at allB．they can give some help to their parents back homeC．they cannot do what they should for their parentsD．they believe what they actually do is right【4】 From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A．the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB．“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC．children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD．the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”【5】The society discussed in the passage is most probably ________.A．France B．AmericaC．China D．Britain五、其他1.A smart card is a card that is carried with either a microprocessor（微处理器）and a memory chip or only a memory chip that is not programmable（可编程的）. The microprocessor card can add, delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information. In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:IC (Integrated Circuit) microprocessor cards: Microprocessor cards (chip cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic（磁性的）stripe cards do. Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things. Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity. Some examples of these cards are: cards that hold money; cards that provide safe access to a network; cards that allow setting stop boxes on television to remain safe from privacy(隐私).Optical（光学的）memory cards: Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top. Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus,this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories. Today, there are no processors in them (although this is coming in the near future). While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the card readers are expensive.2.Do you know when the ancient Olympic Games begin? It was in the year 776 BC. They were held at Olympiain Greece every four years, for almost 12 centuries, until AD 394.Some of the sports from the ancient Olympics are still seen today, such as the long jump, wrestling and running.在古代奥运会上，按照传统，运动员都是男性，and they had to compete wearing no clothes. Single women were allowed to take part in their own competition, at a separate festival in honour of Hera, the wife of the Greek god Zeus. Today, both male and female athletes from around the world can take part, no matter what nation they come from.The contemporary Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens（雅典）. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life. He dreamt that the Olympics would make it possible for people of all countries to live side by side in peace.现在，全世界的人们都在帮助实现这一梦想。

After all, she's already got her master's degree.The North Chicago-area teen started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquake, flood and other natural disasters.At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor's degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for church events and leadership meetings.She doesn't stop there, though. The teen plans to focus on aviation psychology（航空心理学）for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took fights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off—a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it's a mix of two of her interests.In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group at church. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and in the future aims to help business owners with trends. Her third book The Genius Race , has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.28.Which of the following is TRUE about Thessalonika?A.When she was 6 years old, she started homeschooling.B.She gained her master's degree at the age of 11.C.She majored in science and technology.D.In 2013 she got her bachelor's degree through completing courses online.29.What is her next plan according to the passage?A.Major in aviation psychology.B.Deliver inspiring speeches for church events and leadership meetings.C.Be active in her youth group at church.D.Write another book to help people to be geniuses.30.Why does she write the book Jump the Education Barrier?A.It aims to help people to be geniuses.B.It is intended to give students a hand to complete college.C.It is designed to arouse people's awareness of psychology.D.The author hopes to share her own experience with others.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.

HomeschoolingDCrossing your legs is an extremely common habit ； most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance,making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed."Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, ” explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis（麻痹）of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we kn ow as that “pins and needles" sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.32.What can we learn about crossing one's legs?A.It is a very bad social habit.B.It is usually practiced deliberately.C.It can do harm to people's health.D.It can make others feel uncomfortable.33.According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can _ .A. affect your blood pressureB. resist gravity effectivelyC. lead to heart attacks easilyD. improve the function of legs34.In the third paragraph “pins and needles" probably means “"A. slight sharp painsB. being a little nervousC. serious muscle injuriesD. being highly flexible35.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To compare common habits.B.To give readers some advice.C.To evaluate effects of an experiment.D.To introduce research methods.第二节（共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7. 5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
