Students from a jewellery school once came to Brush’s studio, a loft in mid-Manhattan, awed to be meeting a figure who, to them, was a worker of miracles.For 45 years in that loft, he had pursued his calling. His wife Olivia was the only company. He produced hundreds of objects of all sorts, most of them exquisite and many astonishingly small. Rather than use electricity, he laboured alone in a forest of antique machines and when tools frustrated him, he made his own, displaying them in cupboards as art in themselves.Above all else, he worked in gold. His obsession took fire when at 13 he saw an Etruscan gold bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The ancient technique of applying gold beads as fine as sand-grains to a curved gold surface without solder (焊接), was stunning, but so was the lightness of spirit.He resolved then that he would make such a bowl, and gold became the study of his life. Simply to watch it melt, turn to red-hot and white-hot, then glow purple, was magical. To hold pure gold grain and let it move slowly through his fingers restored his calm of spirit. His chief motivation, he said, was to understand the material and, through that, himself. He wondered why his heart had beaten so fast in the museum that day. Gold in particular had a message for him. His contact with this glorious metal might focus all his attention and help him to hear it.He developed delicate craftsmanship, with each object virtually a museum piece. For Daniel Brush, he loved the idea that one might take a piece made by Brush out of a pocket, let its beauty pass from mind to mind, and smile. That too was what its maker was after.24. What can we learn about Daniel Brush?A. Students visited him regularly.B. He began to live in his loft in 1975.C. He tended to use ancient crafts to produce objects.D. Most objects he produced were of a surprisingly small size.25. What is the main reason for his lifelong study of gold?A. He wanted to learn more about both gold and himself.B. He wondered why his heart had beat fast in the museum.C. His calm was restored when gold grain moved through fingers.D. Gold had a particular message for him and he was eager to hear it.26. Which of the following can best describe Daniel Brush?A. Stubborn.B. Wealthy.C. Dedicated.D. Lonely.27. What does the author try to emphasize in the last paragraph?A. Brush’s valuable works.B. The admirers Brush expected.C. Brush’s desire for fame.D. The artistic ideal Brush pursued.CWe all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted. But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.Using a set of controlled audio clips (录音片段), Hilton surveyed 5,000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly andengaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said.“Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”28. What does Hilton’s research focus on?A. What interruptions mean to people.B. Whether interruption is good or not.C. How to avoid getting interrupted.D. Why speakers interrupt each other.29. What do participants of the study need to do?A. Record an audio clip.B. Answer some questions.C. Listen to one another.D. Have a chat with a friend.30. What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat?A. It’s important.B. It’s interesting.C. It’s inefficient.D. It’s impolite.31. What can we learn from Hilton’s research?A. Human interaction is complex.B. Communication is the basis of life.C. Interruptions promote thinking.D. Language barriers will always exist.DSwot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.The major mission is to explore how oceans help to minimize climate change by absorbingatmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan the seas from the orbit and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist.By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.32．What does the underlined expression “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Technology.B. Climate.C. Oceans.D. Water.33．What is the major mission of Swot?A. To explore the influences of greenhouse gases.B. To explain the consequence of global warming.C. To identify the causes of water absorbing heat and CO2.D. To study the mechanism of oceans influencing climate.34．What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?A. The high-definition computer.B. Advanced radar technology.C. The three-dimensional image.D. An accurate map of elevations.35．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. A Solution to Climate ChangeB. A Breakthrough in Space TravelC. First Global Water Survey from SpaceD. The Successful Launch of Swot Satellite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。

第一部分阅读（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。
ASouth America has a long and interesting coastline. When it comes to beaches, there are some excellent options to be found across the continent.Sancho BeachThis beach is an amazing stretch of sand with peaceful waters. The clear waters are perfect for swimming but it is difficult to access. It can only be reached by boat or by climbing down the rocky hillsides on each end, so it isn't particularly good for younger children or people who are physically challenged.Vichayito BeachJust a short distance from the waterfront town of Mancora, this lovely beach is often quiet and peaceful, offering some nice shallow water to swim in for little ones. A little further out, the waves pick up, making for fine surfing and windsurfing surroundings, while the charming village offers nice accommodation.Copacabana BeachThe cold water here means it isn't an ideal swimming location, but there are good spots for surfing and windsurfing. Various water activities make it a great beach. Visit early, especially in the busy tourist seasons, not only to avoid crowds, but also to gain admittance—visitors will be turned away once the park reaches peak capacity.Jericoacoara BeachLocated near the city center, this beach is very popular among surfers thanks to its great waves. It isn't too rough to swim for experienced swimmers, although a slightly rocky seafloor means you should be careful. With large crowds of people, the best time to visit is sunset—arrive early to get a good viewing spot.21. What may make Sancho Beach difficult to reach?A. The great waves.B. Its unique location.C. Lack of boat services.D. Large crowds of tourists.22. Which beach is the most ideal place for young children to swim?A. Sancho Beach.B. Vichayito Beach.C. Copacabana Beach.D. Jericoacoara Beach.23. What do Copacabana Beach and Jericoacoara Beach have in common?A. They both appeal to those loving water sports.B. Tourists may be rejected due to their limited capacity.C. Tourists should arrive early to get a good viewing spot.D. They provide perfect swimming options for professionals.BWhen my editors asked me to report on forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit. I assumed it must involve getting in the water. It turns out, my interpretation was too literal.I met certified Forest Therapy guide Melanie Choukas-Bradley at an urban forest in Washington, D.C. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn't a bath or a hike. We did walk the forest trails, but we wandered with no particular destination in mind,The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and throw oneself in the natural environment. She helped us be aware of the smells, tastes and sights of the forest. We took in our surroundings by using all our senses. As we passed through a stand of trees, we touched the trunks. We smelled the black walnuts, which give off a lovely fragrance. We got a little shower of ripe mulberries, too. "Close your eyes and just breathe." Choukas-Bradley told us. After I opened my eyes, the green looked a lot greener. And I began to see things I hadn't noticed before."A forest guide helps us be here, not there," says Amos Clifford, the founder of the Association of Nature & Forest Therapy, the organization that certifies the guides. They support what the forests could offer us, inviting us into practices that deepen physical presence, pleasure, and partnership with nature. When we connect with nature in this way, we are connecting with ourselves.Clifford's goal is to encourage health care providers to integrate forest therapy as a stress-reduction strategy. In the United States, work-related stress accounts for up to $190 billion in health care costs each year. "It's my hope that the health care system will include forest therapy into the range of services," Clifford says.24. What is forest bathing?A. Hike up the mountain.B. An adventure in the woods.C. A swimming in open water.D. A guided nature healing practice.25. How can we benefit from forest bathing?A. By improving our awareness.B. By doing intense training.C. By experiencing nature mindfully.D. By carrying out eyesight tests.26. What can a guide help forest bathers do?A. Locate and pick ripe fruits.B. Put exercise plans into action.C. Identify different trees and birds.D. Concentrate on the surrounding nature.27. What can we learn from Clifford's words in the last paragraph?A. Health care system needs updating.B. Nature-based therapy costs too much.C. Stress-related diseases are commonly seen.D. Forest therapy could be an alternative treatment.CIt's commonly acknowledged that our lives are ruled by algorithms（算法）, but have we really collectively understood how they have transformed our culture and personality?In Filterworld: How algorithms flattened culture, Kyle Chayka argues convincingly that the rise of algorithm-driven feeds, used everywhere online from Instagram to Spotify, has led to a more uniform culture. Our tastes and desires increasingly don't belong to us, but to algorithms that are designed to keep people engaged at all costs. If the collection of our tastes truly shapes our entire personality, then this loss is more psychologically damaging than it first appears. Aimlessly scrolling（滚屏）through Netflix or TikTok may seem harmless, but over days, months or years, we lose touch with what we like and enjoy.Taste-making algorithms are inescapable. Chayka shows this by working through all corners of life: what we wear（TikTok）, where we eat（Google Maps）, music we listen to（Spotify）, even who we date or marry （Tinder）. This universe of algorithm-driven decisions has society-wide implications: "It extends to influence our physical spaces, our cities, and the routes we move through...flattening them in turn," No one gets out of the Filterworld untouched.If you're lucky enough not to need any sort of algorithm-based system for your work, then you have the option to step back from algorithms for a while. But if your friend suggests a film recommended on X/Twitter or you feel the need to buy those shoes suddenly everyone has started wearing after social media advertisements, what are you to do? It all feels fruitless.This Filterworld may be inescapable, but there is hope. You can start by engaging more with the media you do choose to consume. This could mean reading up about a film you watched or paying artists you like directly. Even the thoughtful act of recommending an album to a friend is more rewarding than a random TikTok feed. As Chayka says, resistance to algorithms "requires an act of willpower, a choice to move through the world in a different way."28. What is Kyle Chayka's opinion on algorithms?A. They improve our tastes.B. They make our culture more alike.C. They help to identify our personality.D. They contribute to psychological problems29. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The society with advanced technology.B. The world without social media platforms.C. The network of algorithm-driven decisions.D. The community free from algorithmic influence.30. Which of the following is a way to resist the impact of algorithms?A. Limiting the use of social media platforms.B. Making choices based on friends' suggestions.C. Getting more involved with the selected media.D. Disconnecting from social media advertisements.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Algorithms: Cultural TakeoverB. The Secret of AlgorithmsC. Social Media: Cultural MessengerD. The Rise of Digital PlatformsDSome languages are rapid-fire and others more unhurried—but there is no difference in the speed at which information is shared, according to the new researchThe world's 7000 or so languages differ greatly not only in their range of available phonemes—the units of sound that make up speech, but also in the pace at which these building blocks are thrown together in speech. But the new research into the information content in speech shows that languages allow their speakers to communicate about the same amount of information per second despite wide variations in the speed of speech.To understand this better, researchers led by Christophe Coupe from the University of Lyon and Yoon Oh from the University of Canterbury studied recordings of 170 native adult speakers of 17 European and Asian languages. Each speaker read a set of standardized texts containing about 240,000 syllables（音节）. The researchers found that the fastest language hit 9.1 syllables per second, and the slowest a mere 4.3. But this was cancelled out by the amount of information, measured in bits, that each syllable contained. This varied significantly, from 4.8 bits per syllable for Basque to 8.0 bits per syllable for Vietnamese.The study found languages that pack a lot of information into sounds and syllables tend to be spoken more slowly, while those with a low information density are delivered more rapidly. While speech rate and information density fluctuate（波动）widely, the information rate—the speed at which information is delivered—stays consistently around 39.15 bits per second.The researchers say this appears to represent an optimal（最佳的）rate for giving and receiving information. Languages seem to stably inhabit an optimal range of information rates, away from the extremes that can still be available to individual speakers. Of course, not everybody speaks at the optimal information rate. We all know people who talk too quickly or slowly, and the new research may cast light on why we find listening to them hard work.32. What has the new research found out?A. Languages tend to convey information with similar efficiency.B. Languages have nearly the same range of available phonemes.C. The speed of speech is determined by the information content.D. The number of languages has gradually decreased to about 7000.33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. A brief introduction of the research process.B. Supporting evidence for the research results.C. Potential application of the research findings.D. A further explanation of the research methods.34. What can we learn from the finding of Christophe's study?A. More words in speech convey more information.B. The information rate remains at a reasonable level.C. The speech rate can affect the information density.D. Languages with more syllables are delivered faster.35. What can be inferred about the optimal information rate?A. It can lead to smooth communication.B. It stays the same for individual speakers.C. It may result in the difficulty of listening.D. It prevents speakers from going to extremes.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。

D．Finance.Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmental-friendly life.None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling (改造) and stayed in our motor home. We were confronted with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid (电线). I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. We started taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. In addition, we are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would normally throw.Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.4. Why did the family move to a remote town?A．Financial debt forced them to save more money.B．Having a new lifestyle has become a trend.C．They reached an agreement to lead a green life.D．They got a discount on a property accidentally.5. How did the author feel when she knew the property was non-electricity?A．Satisfied. B．Astonished. C．Relieved. D．Refreshed.6. When the author’s kids looked back on the life off the grid, they would recall the lessonthat_______.A．saving resources makes a difference B．life is beyond our expectationC．city chaos will disappear sooner or later D．repair the house before it rains7. What is the text mainly about?A．How urgent it was to lead an environmental-friendly life.B．How a family of urban-residents switched to a simple life.C．How significant it was to better adapt to a new environment.D．How a carbon-free lifestyle has been promoted to the country.The South Bronx is one of the poorest and most polluted places in America, with smog-choked freeways and smelly wastewater treatment plants.“We’re a dumping ground,” Omar explains. “All the garbage from the rest of New York City ends up here.”But Omar started looking at garbage in a different way. “A lot of what people thro w away is perfectly good,” he says. “Just look at that stuff from construction sites — doors, sinks, toilets. People will buy those things. It’s only called garbage because somebody threw it away.” Omar was just out of college and working for an environmental group called Sustainable South Bronx when he started considering how to get this “good garbage” to people who could use it. Instead of destroying old things, why not clean them up and resell them? Why not hire people in the community to do the work? Be tter yet, why not make this business a “cooperative,” which means the people working in the business own it and share the profits?Out of this, Omar started the first cooperative in the country dedicated to reusing construction waste. To start his business, Omar put up flyers along the truck-jammed, trash-filled neighborhood streets, looking for people to work with him. He soon found four other dedicated workers. They rented a warehouse and started looking for donations of used materials.In April 2008, Oma r’s cooperative, ReBuilders Source, opened its business and began selling construction supplies — at reasonable prices — to neighborhood builders and home owners. With the help of city officials, he also began planning a new training program to help local residents learn the skills to get good jobs that help the environment and even start their own cooperatives. Workers were trained to carefully take buildings apart so that things like doors and windows can be reused instead of being smashed and sent off to a landfill. Deconstructing buildings this way could be a huge industry with many good jobs for people who need them.“If you have a use for something,” Omar says, “it’s no longer waste.”8. Why is the South Bronx mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To arouse readers’ interest.B．To serve as the background information.C．To contrast with the other districts. D．To introduce a famous place.9. Which was Not the reason for Omar’s creating a cooperative business?A．To provide jobs for local people. B．To deal with dumped rubbish.D．To make money from garbage.C．To increase cooperation amongneighbors.10. Which of the following words best describe Omar?A．Idealistic and business-minded. B．Creative and action-oriented.C．Practical and self-focused. D．Devoted and iron-hearted.11. Which saying might interpret Omar’s action?A．Knowledge starts with practice. B．One good turn deserves another.C．Four eyes see more than two. D．Kill two birds with one stone.While teenagers who are at risk of depression with risky behaviors — drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and cutting classes often alert parents and teachers that serious problems are brewing, a new study finds that there’s another group of adolescents who are in nearly as much danger of experiencing the same mental symptoms.These teens use tons of media, get insufficient sleep and have a sedentary (不爱活动的) lifestyle. Of course, that may sound like a description of every teenager on the planet. But the study wars that it is teenagers who engage in all three of these practices in the extreme that are truly in a dangerous position. Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag, these young people have been called the “invisible risk” group by the study’s authors.The study’s authors surveyed 15,395 students and analyzed nine risk behaviors, including excessive alcohol use, illegal drug use, heavy smoking and high media use. Their aim was to determine the relationship between these risk behaviors and mental health issues in teenagers. The group that scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression; in all, nearly 15% of this group reported being depressed, compared with just 4% of the low-risk group. But the invisible group wasn’t far behind the high-risk set, with more than 13% of them exhibiting depression.The findings caught Carli off guard. “We didn’t expect that,” he says. “The high-risk group and low-risk group are obvious, but this third group was not only unexpected. It was so distinct and so larger — nearly one third of our sample —that it became a key finding of the study.”Carli says that one of the most significant things about his study is that it provides new early warning signs for parents, teachers and mental health-care providers. And early identifications, support and treatment for mental health issues, he says, are the best ways to keep them from turning into full-blown disorders.12. Which teenager probably belongs to the “invisible group”?A．A teenager who drinks frequently. B．A teenager who exercises regularly.C．A teenager who skips school. D．A teenager who suffers from a lack ofsleep.13. What can we know about the new study?A．It was conducted by analyzing and comparing the previous data.B．It was intended to dig into the reasons for depression.C．It revealed an alarming rate of the invisible group suffering depression.D．Its findings were under expectation of the research team.14. What is Carli’s attitude toward the findings?A．Unclear. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.15. The author wrote this passage to ______.A．introduce a new therapy for teens’ mental disorderB．war about the unobserved signals for teens’ mental problemsC．share a novel psychological experiment with teensD．caution teens against developing unhealthy habitsIt is never too late to develop great study habits.However, starting making some changes is hard. Even if you want to do well enough in school and improve your grades, you’re probably having trouble getting started in the first place! 16 .Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Make a schedule of your time. Then decide on good, regular time for studying. 17 , but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time.Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable and quiet. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.Skim before you read. 18 . As you preview the material, you get some idea of the passage and how it is organized.19 . Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Taking notes helps you remember what the teacher says.Develop a good attitude to tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. 20 . Tests provide grades, but they also let you know that you need to spend more time studying.There are other skills that might help you with your study. Share with your classmates some of the skills you have found to be helpful.At around 3 p.m. on Monday, Erin Wilson stopped at a picnic area along Highway 299.

2021年广州市外国语学校高三英语下学期期末考试试卷及答案解析
2021年广州市外国语学校高三英语下学期期末考试试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BIn 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa.Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn't wearing shoes and her ankles were swollen. She sat down with me and was very polite.” After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn't focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself.Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends meet, they went on welfare. Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you're teased at school for that, you just want to escape.”He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself He says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it's easy to overlook others along the way. I was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street, so I didn'thave to confront (面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.”Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened tostories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.”Inspired by Mother Teresa's words and the stories he'd heard across America. Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In 1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women's empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services.4. What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India?A. He attended an interview for a college.B. He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa.C. He interviewed Mother Teresa.D. He did something to help the poor.5. What can we learn about Hal Donaldson from paragraph 4?A. He was born with disability.B. He led a hard life as a child.C. He was well treated at school.D. He survived as a parentless boy.6. How does Hal Donaldson describe himself in college?A. Self-centered.B. Sympathetic.C. Popular.D. Casual.7. How did Hal Donaldson change after he returned home from India?A. He preferred traveling to volunteering.B. He suddenly fell in love with journalism.C. He turned his focus to living for himself.D. He gradually devoted himself to helping others.CThe market for tourism in remote areas is booming as never before. Countries all across the world are actively promoting their wilderness regions-such as mountains, Arctic lands, deserts, small islands and wetlands— to high-spending tourists. The attraction of these areas is obvious: by definition, wilderness tourism requires little or no initial investment. But that does not mean that there is no cost.Once a location is established as a main tourist destination, the effects on the local community are profound. Hill-farmers can make more money from foreign travellers than working in their fields. It is not surprising that many o£ them give up their farm-work. In some hill-regions, this has led to a serious decline in farm output and a change in the local diet, because there is lacking labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems. The result has been that many people in these regions have turned to outside supplies of rice and other foods.InArcticand desert societies, year-round survival has traditionally depended on hunting animals and fish and collecting fruit over a ly short season. However, as some inhabitants become involved in tourism, they no longer have time to collect wild food; this has led to increasing dependence on bought food and stores. What should they do if these new sources of income dry up?The physical impact of visitors is another serious problem associated with the growth in adventure tourism. Much attention has focused on erosion along major roads, but perhaps more important are the forest destruction and impacts on water supplies arising from the need to provide tourists with cooked food and hot showers. In both mountains and deserts, slow-growing trees are often the main sources of fuel and water supplies may be limited through heavy use.8. Why are some countries promoting the wilderness regions to tourists?A. The wildness regions are accessible to tourists.B. The landscapes there are beautiful and unique.C. Developing tourism there doesn't need much investment.D. Lots of high-spending tourists prefer such remote regions.9. What is the effect of tourism on the local community?A. Many hill farmers have turned to outside supplies of foods.B. There is enough labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.C. Farm output there has increased and local diet has changed.D. The local people's new sources of income will dry up soon.10. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. The future of wilderness tourism.B. The impacts of wilderness tourism.C. The destruction of wilderness tourism.D. The disadvantages of wilderness tourism.11. If there is one more paragraph following the last paragraph, what will it talk about?A. The effects on local people.B. The solutions tothese problems.C. The choices of adventure tourists.D. The reasons for visiting remote areas.DNot long after the first fitness magazine was published, a list probably followed soon after, ranking the best fitness equipment. This tradition has continued, with the implied message: usethisand exercise willbe yours.And that's part of the problem, says Dr. Lieberman, a professor of Harvard University. There isn't one “best” anything to achieve fitness. Besides, people understand exercise is good for them. Knowledge about exercise still doesn't motivate.Before you can answer why, it helps to look at history. Before the Industrial Revolution, people fetched water and walked up stairs because they had to. But then technology made life and work easier. Exercise has become something that people have to carve out time for. “It's a fundamental instinct to avoid physical activity when it's neither necessary nor rewarding,” he says.It would seem like being healthy would qualify as necessary, but a doctor's prescription to exercise “can make it like taking cod liver oil,” Lieberman says. “Sometimes it works, but more often than not, it doesn't. And it's still coming across as an order, and “not having a heart attack in five years is not an immediate reward,” says Dr. Beth Frates, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.People might not want to exercise because it's never been enjoyable. Most of us probably have memories ofgym class, not being picked for a team, or being in a fitness center that's filled with in-shape people. The majority don't feel excited. They feel that exercise isn't for them, but it can be. Coaching people in an empowering and motivating way can work much better than ordering someone to exercise. It starts with an expanded definition of what counts as exercise, and an injection of what's rarely used to describe exercise, but is certainly allowed: namely, fun.12. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The magazine.B. The tradition.C. The equipment.D. The message.13. What can we infer about technology?A. It improves life quality.B. It saves people's time.C. It drives social progress.D. It makes exercise less likely.14. Why does the author mention “cod liver oil” in paragraph 4?A. To attach importance to health.B. To present a doctor's prescription.C. To explain exercise is considered inessential.D. To introduce the latest medical application.15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Exercise should be made more joyful.B. It's more fun to work out with others.C. We may encounter bad workout experiences.D. Orders work well to motivate people to exercise.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Both the father and daughter stood silently looking at each other until James finally walked over and hugged her. James only broke their embrace to look at his daughter and hold her face. “There were definitely lots of tears from myself, her brothers, and even a few bystanders,”said Amanda.James was a truck driver who spent a lot of time on the road, and Amanda split with him when Rory Beth was a baby. “It was hard to figure out how to make it work,”Amanda said. Amanda felt Rory Beth was now old enough to understand and to ask any questions she may have, so the reunion happened.The birthday surprise was on June 4, and the father and daughter had seen each other again since, even celebrating Father’s Day together. Amanda said her daughter and James were both delighted to be reunited. “She’s already calling him ‘daddy’and tells him that she loves him,”Amanda said. “They’re both very committed.”4. What caused Rory Beth to be separated from her father for 12 years?A. Her parents’divorce.B. Her father’s working as a taxi driver.C. The misunderstanding between them.D. Her preference for living with her mother.5. Why did Rory Beth reunite with her father?A. Her father was eager to see her.B. She had many questions to ask her father.C. She was old enough to recognize her father.D. Her mother thought it was time for her to see her father.6. What does the underlined word “dumbfounded”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Shocked.B. Scared.C. Confused.D. Tired.7. What do we know from the text?A. Rory Beth called James “daddy”on her 12th birthday.B. Amanda had a conversation with Rory Beth on June 3.C. The video about the reunion was shot by James himself.D. Rory Beth’s brothers accompanied her to see her father.CFrom fast food cooks to doormen at restaurants and hotels, robots are slowly entering the workforce in nearly every industry. Most recently, the world welcomed its first operational robot policeman.“Robocop”, the newest member of the Dubai police force, made the first public appearance on Sunday at the Fourth Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference, where it greeted guests. At about 70 inches tall and weighing nearly 220 pounds, Robocop seeks to engage with residents and tourists. Featuring an “emotion detector （探测器）”, the robot can recognize a person’s gestures and body language from about 5 feet away.Robocop’s skills don’t stop there—the emotionally intelligent bot can detect if a person is happy, sad and even angry by studying his or her facial expression. And just like your human friends would do, if Robocop sees you’re unhappy, it will try to lift your spirits. More importantly, when it comes to fighting crime, the robot uses the Internet, artificial intelligence and other smart technologies to spot offenders using facial recognition. Its navigation （导航）skills grant it the ability to map out areas and travel on its own. Equipped with a built-in tablet, Robocop can communicate with people, speak six languages, respond to public inquiries, shake hands and evenmake military salutes.“With the aim to assist people on the streets,”said Brigadier-General Khalid Nasser Al, Razzouqi, director-general of smart services at Dubai Police, “the Robocop is the latest smart addition to the force and has been designed to help us fight crime recently, keep the city safe and improve happiness levels.”8. According to the text, Robocop can ______.A. make people happyB. use body languageC. cook fast foodD. ask questions in public9. What is the key part when Robocop makes a traveling route?A. Its built-in tablet.B. Its emotion detector.C. Its navigation skills.D. Its own ability to travel.10. Robocop is designed with the original intention of ______.A. fighting crimeB. acting as a doormanC. communicating with peopleD. helping people on the streets11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Robocop has drawn great public attentionB. Robocop is playing the role as a policemanC. Robocop will help you anytime and anywhereD. Robocop is on the way to replacing the police officialDConsumers who value their privacy （隐私）can limit what they post on Facebook and adjust settings on sites such as Instagram. But Internet service providers (ISPs) have the best advantage point on what consumers do online, and there’s much less you can do about it. After all, your ISP is the conduit （中转机构）for everything you read, view, or shop for while you’re accessing the web at home.New rules governing the way ISPs can use consumers’data were adopted in 2016 and scheduled to go into effect this December. But they were rejected by Congress this spring. That leaves the future of broadband （宽带）privacy practices unsettled. Consumers say they want more, not less, regulation of broadband privacy. In a nationally representative survey of 1,008 Americans conducted in early May for the Consumer Reports National Research Center, 80 percent of respondents told us that ISPs should need to get permission before sharing consumers’data. Six out of 10 didn’t think ISPs should be allowed to sell or share thisinformation at all. Eighty-five percent of respondents said the data rightfully belongs to them.Under the recently defeated rules, broadband providers would have faced a new login requirement, forcing them to get permission before using data such as web browsing histories. Opponents of the rules said it was unfair to hold ISPs to stricter standards than Internet companies such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook, which are regulated more loosely.Going forward, state laws could pick up some of the conflict. By the end of May, more than a dozen states had proposed some laws mentioning the issue. Privacy protection bills were also being discussed in Washington, D. C. But privacy experts don’t expect much from the bills. After all, this is the same Congress that voted to roll back the existing privacy protections.12. What do the new rules focus on?A. Keeping the Internet steady.B. Settling broadband practices.C. Protecting Internet consumers’privacy.D. Forbidding ISPs to use consumers’data.13. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. Regulations on ISPs using consumers’data.B. Consumers’opinions about broadband privacy.C. The argument about who owns consumers’data.D. A survey of privacy conducted by Congress.14. What does the underlined part “Opponents of the rules”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Internet companies.B. Broadband providers.C. Internet consumers.D. Survey representatives.15. What can we learn from the text?A. The future of broadband privacy will be clear.B. Internet companies rejected the rules together with ISPs.C. Privacy experts have a negative attitude to the privacy protection bills.D. Consumers will go on arguing with Congress about the Internet privacy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
