All three of us were critically injured. Stacey’s brain injury was the most severe. Despite all attempts to save her, she died two days later. When I became conscious, I heard my husband talking to the organ donor coordinator(器官捐助协调员).We knew that Stacey would want that because that’s the kind of person she was. She always wanted to assist people. She was always smiling and brought so much joy to others. She was friendly and enjoyed writing stories and poetry.It has been a comfort to know that Stacey lives on in the lives of others. I have even met the family of one of Stacey’s kidney recipients (接受人). This little girl was 6 years old at the time of the transplant. She was suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome. I saw pictures showing the effects of the Nephrotic Syndrome and the pictures of her after the transplant. They already showed an amazing difference. We correspond every year through letters, cards and pictures. The girl is doing really well at school and will be graduating from high school next year. I am so grateful that we have this relationship. I also feel relieved that my daughter has made so great a difference to a person’s life.Over the years, I have had some kind of contact with all of the recipients except the heart recipient. I’m very sorry for that.I would love to hear something from the heart recipient’s family.There are so many things that I wonder about her. I wonder if she is anything like Stacey. Does she smile all the time? Does she enjoy writing stories and poetry? I do hope that they can contact us!I feel guilty because I was the one driving in the accident which caused Stacey’s death. I also feel proud that my daughter has helped so many people.4. When did Stacey die from the traffic accident?A. On May 28th, 1998B. On May 29th, 1998C. On May 31st, 1998D. On May 30th, 19985. What does the underlined word “They” refers to?A. The pictures taken after the transplant.B. The people who received the organs of Stacey.C. The people who cared for the girl in the hospital.D. The pictures showing the effects of the Nephrotic Syndrome.6. What is the writer’s attitude towards her daughter’s organ donation?A. GratefulB. DissatisfiedC. ProudD. Guilty7. What has the writer been looking forward to doing?A. Contacting the kidney recipient’s family.B. Visiting kidney recipient’s family.C. Getting paid from the heart family.D. Seeing the heart recipient.CWhen we give our kids holiday gifts, many of us can’t wait to hear their appreciative cries of “thank you!” once the wrapping gets ripped off. But here’s a tip: You’d be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive.Gratitude can make us happier, healthier, and even fitter. Butdo the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them? All the research I’ve done has convinced me that it won’t happen. One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank he r for buying him a cellphone, he said, “But that’s what moms should do.” From a teenager’s angle, it’s a parent’s responsibility to take care of the family. According to Dunham, Yale’s assistant professor of psychology, “When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily”—it’s just mom and dad living up to their obligation.Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something. But kids can’t know how blesse d they are unless they have a basis for comparison. And they don’t learn that by a parent complaining that they’re ungrateful. We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. Show by example that gratitude isn’t about stuff—which ultimately ca n’t make any of us happy anyway. It’s about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward.You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them. You set the budget for giving and the kids de cide how it’s distributed. Once the conversation about gratitude gets started, it’s much easier to continue all year. Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation.Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. And we can all learn together that the things that really matteraren’t on sale at a department store.8. How do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents?A. They show no interest in their parents’ gifts.B. They can’t wait to open their parents’ gifts.C. They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts.D. They take their parents’ gifts for granted.9. To make children grateful for what they have, parents should _________.A. live up to their obligationB. ask their children to have good mannersC. teach their children by setting an exampleD. complain their children are ungrateful10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful.B. Children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents.C. Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own moneyD. It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude.11. What’s the purpose of the author writing this text?A. To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents.B. To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude.C. To encourage parents to do things together with their children.D. To remind parents of their responsibility to educate theirchildren.DPeople with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, thenour measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”12. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.A. less healthy weightB. motivation to lose weightC. negative emotionsD. taking alcohol or drugs13. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusions.B. By explaining causes and effects.C. By presenting questions and answers.D. By giving definitions and examples.14. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food anddrug behavior.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Dopamine release caused by food addictionB. Food addiction compared to drug useC. Impulsive personality linked to food additionD. Food addiction contributing to obesity。

2023新高考全国1卷英语试题及答案

2023新高考全国1卷英语试题及答案

2023新高考全国1卷英语试题及答案2023最新年新高考全国1卷英语试题及答案第一部分阅读理解(共两节,总分 50分)第一节(共15小题;每题2.5分,总分 37.5分)阅读以下短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最正确选项。

AGrading Policies for Introduction to LiteratureGrading Scale90—100, A; 80 —90, B; 70 —79, C; 60 —69, D; Below 60, E.Essays (60%)Students will work in groups to complete four assignments (作业) during the course. All the assignments will be submitted by the assigned date through Blackboard, our online learning and course management system.Daily Work / InClass Writings and Tests / Group Work / Homework (10%)Class activities will vary from day to day, but students must be ready to complete short inclass writings or tests drawn directly from assigned readings or notes from the previous class’ lecture/discussion, so it is important to take carefulnotes during class. Additionally, from time to time I will assign group work to be completed in class or short assignments to be completed at home, both of which will be graded.Late WorkAn essay not submitted in class on the due date will losea letter grade for each class period it is late. If it is not turned in the the 4th day after the due date, it will earn a zero. Daily assignments not completed during class will get a zero. Short writings missed as a result of an excused absence will be accepted.21. Where is this text probably taken from?A. A textbook.B. An exam paper.C. A course plan.D. An academic article.22. How may parts is a student’s final grade made up of?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.23. What will happen if you submit an essay one week after the due date?A. You will receive a zero.B. You will lose a letter grade.C. You will be given a test.D. You will have to rewrite it.BLike most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goesto waste. The arugula (芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jawdropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away —from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vege tables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food that no one eats waste the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, R oyte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time —but for him, it’s more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days.Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.Such methods seem obvious, y et so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.24. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?A. We pay little attention to food waste.B. We waste food unintentionally at times.C. We waste more vegetables than meat.D. We have good reasons for wasting food.25. What is a consequence of food waste according to the text?A. Moral decline.B. Environmental harm.C. Energy shortage.D. Worldwide starvation.26. What does Curtin’s company do?A. It produces kitchen equipment.B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.C. It helps local farmers grow fruits.D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.27. What does Curtin suggest people do?A. Buy only what is needed.B. Reduce food consumption.C. Go shopping once a week.D. Eat in restaurants less often.CThe elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely. The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduc e loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.Among those taking part in the project is 80yearold Ruth Xavier. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.” There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said, “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”28. What is the purpose of the project?A. To ensure harmony in care homes.B. To provide parttime jobs for he aged.C. To raise money for medical research.D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.29. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?A. She has learned new life skills.B. She has gained a sense of achievement.C. She has recovered her memory.D. She has developed a strong personality.30. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?A. Improve.B. Oppose.C. Begin.D. Evaluate.31. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?A. It is well received.B. It needs to be more creative.C. It is highly profitable.D. It takes ages to see the results.DHuman speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others? A groundbreaking, fiveyear study shows that dietrelated changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages in society that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damian Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.They discovered the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned(对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure (结构), making it easier to produce such sounds. The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so didn’t grow to be so large. Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many huntergatherer people today.This research overturns the popular view that all humanspeech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. “The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran,a member of the research team.32. Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damian Blasi’s research focus on?A. Its variety.B. Its distribution.C. Its quantity.D. Its development.33. Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals?A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.B. They could not open and lose their lips easily.C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Supporting evidence for the research results.B. Potential application of the research findings.C. A further explanation of the research methods.D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.35. What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds?A. It is key to effective communication.B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.C. It is a complex and dynamic system.D. It drives the evolution of human beings.其次节(共5小题;每题2.5分,总分 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正确选项。

According to Dunham, Yale’s assistant professor of psychology, “When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily”—it’s just mom and dad living up to their obligation.Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something. But kids can’t know how blesse d they are unless they have a basis for comparison. And they don’t learn that by a parent complaining that they’re ungrateful. We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. Show by example that gratitude isn’t about stuff—which ultimately ca n’t make any of us happy anyway. It’s about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward.You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them. You set the budget for giving and the kids de cide how it’s distributed. Once the conversation about gratitude gets started, it’s much easier to continue all year. Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation.Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. And we can all learn together that the things that really matteraren’t on sale at a department store.8. How do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents?A. They show no interest in their parents’ gifts.B. They can’t wait to open their parents’ gifts.C. They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts.D. They take their parents’ gifts for granted.9. To make children grateful for what they have, parents should _________.A. live up to their obligationB. ask their children to have good mannersC. teach their children by setting an exampleD. complain their children are ungrateful10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful.B. Children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents.C. Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own moneyD. It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude.11. What’s the purpose of the author writing this text?A. To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents.B. To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude.C. To encourage parents to do things together with their children.D. To remind parents of their responsibility to educate theirchildren.DPeople with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, thenour measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”12. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.A. less healthy weightB. motivation to lose weightC. negative emotionsD. taking alcohol or drugs13. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusions.B. By explaining causes and effects.C. By presenting questions and answers.D. By giving definitions and examples.14. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food anddrug behavior.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Dopamine release caused by food addictionB. Food addiction compared to drug useC. Impulsive personality linked to food additionD. Food addiction contributing to obesity。

APRACTITIONERSJacqueline Felic de (c. 1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials(证明)of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine.Tan Yun (1461-1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve a apprenticeships (学徒期)with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511Tan wrote a book, sayings of Female Doctor, describing her life as physician.James Barry (c. 1789-1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army,serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831-1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.21. What did Jacqueline and James have in common?A. Doing teaching jobs.B. Being hired as physicians.C. Performing surgery.D. Being banned from medicine.22. How was Tan Yun different from the other practitioners?A. She wrote a book.B. She went through trials.C. She worked as a dentist.D. She had formal education.23.Who was the first African American with a medical degree?A. Jacqueline Felice de A.B. Tan Yun.C. James Barry.D. Rebcca Lee Crumpler.BLiving in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape(风景)can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar either farm fields or highway, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have travelled up to four hours away to shoot within 10-minture time for me, I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sun sets and rises due to being on the sport only five minutes before the best moment.One time my friends and I drove three hours t0Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz(石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset.However, we did not mark the route(路线)so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.24.How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest?A. By teaming up with other photographers.B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.C. By studying the geographical conditions.D. By creating settings in the com fields.25. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author?A. Proper time management.B. Good shooting techniques.C. Adventurous spirit.D. Distinctive styles.26.What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake?A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rockB. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.D. They had problems with their equipment.27. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil's Lake?A. Amusing.B. Satisfying.C. Encouraging.D. Comforting.CWhat comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more to class chefs who appear frequently on our televisionscreens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.It is thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV have helped change what people thinking about cooking.According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of in- gradients(配料)than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’sobsession(痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer "uncool" for boys to like cooking.28. What do people usually think of British food?A. It is simple and plain.B. It is rich in nutrition.C. It lacks authentic tastes.D. It deserves a high reputation.29.Which best describes cookery on British TV?A. Authoritative.B. Creative.C. Profitable.D. Influential.30.Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?A.20%.B.24%.C.25%.D.33%.31.What might the author continue talking about?A. The art of cooking in other countries.B. Male chefs on TV.C. Table manners in the UK.D. Studies of big eaters.DIf you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part or humanity. you cannot do it through texts alone. Because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate(有文字的)societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in tings.Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict at Botany Bay between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield(盾)dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If wewant to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino. the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact(联系)between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. How past events should be presented.B. What humanity is concerned about.C. Whether facts speak louder than words.D. Why written language is reliable.33. What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?A. His report was significantB. He represented the local people.C. He ruled over Botany Bay.D. His record was one-sided.34. What does the underlined word "conversation" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Problem.B. History.C. Voice.D. Society.35. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?A. How Maps Tell Stories of the WorldB. A Short History of AustraliaC. A History of the World in 100 ObjectsD. How Art Works Tell Stories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。

Skillde at putting up shelves and piecing together fumiture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day's work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: "I'm sure I wasn't much of a help to start with painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and is was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills."Terri, who now rents abhouse with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy(租期)comes to an end. She adds: "I've moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it's been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I've moved out"With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. The fifth wish to increase the value of their house.

It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学).That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philososphy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them.Eric weiner's The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the centext(背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book abour learning touse philosophy to improve a life.He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most importantphilosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding(解读) their massages and adding his own interpretation.The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It's worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of.8.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?A.Foucault.B.Eric Weiner.C.Jostein Gaarder D.A college teacher.9.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?A.To compare Weiner with them.B.To give examples of great works.C.To praise their writing skills.D.To help readers understand Weiner's book.10.What does the author like about The Socrates Express?A.Its views on history are well-presented.B.Its ideas can be applied to daily life.C.It includes comments from readers.D.It leaves an open ending.11.What does the author think of Weiner's book?A.Objective and plain.B.Daring and ambitious.C.Serious and hard to follow.D.Humorous and straightforward阅读理解Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over 400kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche-we revere(敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and the iranswer is often the same: a grizzly bear."Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range," says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century or more, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.Obviously, if precautions(预防) aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. "Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits," says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.12.How do Americans look at grizzlies?A.They cause mixed feelings in people.B.They should be kept in national parks.C.They are of high scientific value.D.They are a symbol of American culture.13.What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?A.The European settlers' behavior.B.The expansion of bears' range.C.The protection by law since 1975.D.The support of Native Americans.14.What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies?A.The opposition of conservation groups.B.The successful comeback of grizzlies.C.The voice of the biologists.D.The local farmers' advocates.15.What can be ierere from the last paragraph?A.Food should be provided for grizzlies.B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies.C.A special path should be built for grizzlies.D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.二、阅读理解第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Thats what I learnt from my new and special friend. On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didnt know.I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose, Im eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young. Innocent age?” I asked jokingly. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!” she replied. After class we walked to the Students Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake there. We became instant friends.Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends whenever she went. At the endof the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner. Ill never forget what she taught us.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌词)and live them out in our daily life. At the years end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.24.What happened to the author on the first day of school?A.He joined the Student Union.B.He got to know an old professor.C.He made the acquaintance of an old lady.D.He had to share a milkshake with others.25.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can find out the authors .A.respect for the oldB.concern about ageC.curiosity about the ladyplaint about education26.In the authors eyes, .A.Rose was silent and skilled.B.Rose was talented and hardworking.C.Rose was innocent and generous.D.Rose was courageous and her words were inspiring.27.Which saying might Rose possibly support?A.Rome was not built in a day..B.One is never too old to learn.C.It is no use crying over spilt milk.D.Great minds think alike.CMoney is the root of all evil and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying.Scientists at the University ofCalifornia.Berkeley, US,announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical (不道德的)things.such as lie or cheat,than poorer people.The scientists did a series of eight experiments.They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley.They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks.Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest cars.In another experiment,a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations.Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change.Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists,rich people often think money call get them out of trouble.This makes them less afraid to take risks.It also means they care less about other peoples feelings.Finally,it simply makes them greedier.“Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest,”said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings dont mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest.He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.28.By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to .A.draw readers attention to the researchB.1ink wealth with bad behaviorC.show how the saying proves the findingsD.defend rich people who do unethical things29.What makes rich people unethical according to the scientists7.a.they become more selfishb.they have more desiresc.they believe money talksd.they welcome risksA.a、bB.a、b、dC.b、cD.a、b、c30.Why did the scientists do the experiments?A.To show how social status affects peoples ethics.B.To show peoples instincts and values in different ways.C.To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.D.To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.31.What does the article really want to show us?A.Money is the root of all evil.B.The rich are more likely to act badly.C.The saying is reasonable.D.All rich people are untrustworthy.DThere is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.32.Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.A.the difficulties in teaching spellingB.the necessity of teaching spellingC.the complexities of the basic writing skillsD.the role of spelling in general language development33.The underlined expression “play safe” probably means “________”.A.to write carefullyB.to avoid using words one is not sure ofC.to use dictionaries frequentlyD.to do as teachers say34.Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ________.A.students will have less trouble in correcting mistakesB.students will have more confidence in writingC.students will be able to express their ideas more freelyD.students will learn to be independent of teachers35.The major point discussed in the passage is _______.A.the relationship between spelling and the content of a compositionB.the importance of developing writing skillsC.the correct way of marking compositionsD.the complexities of spelling第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)When you live in America, it is not uncommon to see many children coming home from school to an empty house. 36 Some may hide.But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. Theyre children who look after themselves while their parents work. 37Kate Green was one of the headmasters of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly tellingthem to put them inside skirts. There were so may keys. It never came to my mind what they meant.” 38 .She and her husband began talking to the children. They offered the suggestion: 39 One in every three latchkey children the Greens talked to once reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were womied about their own safety.The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. 40 The second is TV. Theyll often play it at high volume. Its hard to get statistics on latchkey children. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.A.Slowly, she learned they were house keys.B.But they dont mindC.Some deal with the situation by watching TVD.Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone.E.Some should go to their friends for safety.F.And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.G.It might be in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题:每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

well-surfaced forest path.Date and Time:Sunday,2nd October,at11:45Start Point:Kilbrannish Forest Recreation AreaWalk Duration:1.5hours21.Which walk takes the shortest time?A.The Natural World.B.Introduction to Hillwalking.C.Moonlight Under the Stars.D.Photographic Walk in Kilbrannish Forest.22.What are participants in Walk3required to do?A.Wear proper clothes.B.Join a walking club.C.Get special permits.D.Bring a survival guide.23.What do the four walks have in common?A.They involve difficult climbing.B.They are for experienced walkers.C.They share the same start point.D.They are scheduled for the weekend.BDo you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read?Yes,we all have our phones,but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.Well,there’s a kiosk(小亭)for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area,at least.“You enter the fare gates(检票口)and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute,a three-minute,or a five-minute story,”says Alicia Trost,the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART.“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple.Riders have printed nearly20,000short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories,and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,”Trost says.“And as of right now,we’ve received about120submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit(交通)systems across the country has been down the past half century,so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,”she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.24.Why did BART start the kiosk program?A.To promote the local culture.B.To discourage phone use.C.To meet passengers’needs.D.To reduce its running costs.25.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A.By popularity.B.By length.C.By theme.D.By language.26.What has Trost been doing recently?anizing a story contest.B.Doing a survey of customers.C.Choosing a print publisher.D.Conducting interviews with artists.27.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A.It will close down.B.Its profits will decline.C.It will expand nationwide.D.Its ridership will increase.CWe all know fresh is best when it comes to food.However,most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table.While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey,Babylon Micro-Farm(BMF)shortens it even more.BMF is an indoor garden system.It can be set up for a family.Additionally,it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital,restaurant or school.The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.Specifically,it’s a farm that relies on new technology.By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored.Also,there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time.Because the system is automated,it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants.Rather than watering rows of soil,the system provides just the right amount to each plant.After harvest,users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod(容器)to get the next growth cycle started.Moreover,having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions(排放)from transporting plants from soil to salad.In addition,there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives.About half of them walk or bike to work.Inside the office,they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic.“We are passionate about reducing waste,carbon and chemicals in our environment,”said a BMF employee.28.What can be learned about BMF from paragraph1?A.It guarantees the variety of food.B.It requires day-to-day care.C.It cuts the farm-to-table distance.D.It relies on farmer’s markets.29.What information does the convenient app offer?A.Real-time weather changes.B.Current condition of the plants.C.Chemical pollutants in the soil.D.Availability of pre-seeded pods.30.What can be concluded about BMF employees?A.They have a great passion for sports.B.They are devoted to community service.C.They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D.They have a strong environmental awareness.31.What does the text mainly talk about?A.BMF’s major strengths.B.BMF’s general management.C.BMF’s global influence.D.BMF’s technical standards.DGiven the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives,we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future,and this is where AI by Design:A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution(变革).In the wrong hands,such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码)that powers AI but,thankfully,Campbell has more than two decades’professional experience translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic,making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which,by the close,will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design,AI is already super-smart and will become more capable,moving from the current generation of“narrow-AI”to Artificial General Intelligence.From there,Campbell says,will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence,or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a“tipping point”in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out.Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation,will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all,and if you only read one book on the subject,this is it.32.What does the phrase“In the wrong hands”in paragraph2probably mean?A.If read by someone poorly educated.B.If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C.If written by someone less competent.D.If translated by someone unacademic.33.What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A.It is packed with complex codes.B.It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C.It provides step-by-step instructions.D.It is intended for AI professionals.34.What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A.Observe existing regulations on it.B.Reconsider expert opinions about it.C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down.35.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To recommend a book on AI.B.To give a brief account of AI history.C.To clarify the definition of AI.D.To honor an outstanding AI expert.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。

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to-3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on usall! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all-- LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1A. Efforts made in vain.B.

UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying() voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. The jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’sartistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite, ” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “what I’m hopi ng to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the wayit was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s musi c for a dance party,“just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran.“For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context, ” says Moran. “so I want to continue those dialog ues. Those are the things I want to foster.”28.Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz DayA.To remember the birth of jazz.B. To protect cultural diversity.C. To encourage people to study music.D. To recognize the value of jazz.29.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer toA.Jazz becoming more accessible.B.

It remain black and white.C. It should keep up with the times.D. It changes every 50 years.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the textA.Exploring the Future of JazzB. The Rise and Fall of JazzC. The Story of a Jazz MusicianD. Celebrating the Jazz DayDA build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed bytwo doctors in the U.S. Department of Agricultu re, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, sinceit’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5’*5’ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, si x feet ofplastic tube, and a container--perhaps just a drinking cup-- to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole fourfeet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up-- and out -- the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45 --degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates(蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshm ent out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraphA.It’s delicate.B. It’s expensive.C. It’s complex.D. It’s portable.33.What does t he underlined phrase”the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer toA. The tube.B. The still.C. The hole.D. The cup.34.What is the last step of constructing a working solar stillA.Dig a hole of a certain size.B. Put the cup in place.C. Weight the sheet’s center down.D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from _______.A. the plastic tube.B. outside the hole.C. the open air.D. beneath the sheet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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
