One way in which adults can develop their interest in a new subject is to search the Internet. A potentially much richer way is to wander through a learning environment, such as a science museum, _____31 _____out in a systematic way to introduce visitors to particular subjects. With the help of audiovisual aids, computer-_____32_____ instruction and other devices, a museum can bring a subject alive in ways that compare _____33_____ with a television programme, or a book. The kind of help that museums can give to adults can equally well be given to children, and to teachers whose pupils have come to the museum for specific _____34_____ .At a time when the demand for public accountability has never been greater, it is worth remembering that many museums receive substantial grants towards what is supposed to be stimulating educational _____35_____ for the general public.Museums accepting these grants, yet offering little more than the_____ 36_____ public lecture, or very minimal help to schoolteacher arriving at the museum with their pupils, therefore risk having such financial support severely cut back, or even _____37_____.Why is this done? The idea is that museums should not simply be aiming to be popular and entertaining, they should also be truly _____38_____ learning environments. Given that this is their aim, they should not just spread facts and theories. They should show the visitor exactly what to do with the information provided. Isolated pieces of information, _____39_____ as they may be. do not encourage museum visitors to use their intelligence. For example, if told that some fleas can jump 130 times their own height, visitors simply have no idea of how to apply this _____40_____ unless they are clearly pointed in the right direction.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.At a time when scientists know more than they ever have before about the inner lives of animals and when concerns about animal rights become large—many experts think that zoos need a major change if they're going to last.To some leaders in the field, the Philadelphia Zoo is the best model out there, but on the other side of the country; a _____41_____ vision of the future is playing out. At Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, the elephant exhibit, where countless children have watched elephants play, now sits _____42_____ . The zoo, long _____43_____ as a world leader in innovative design, built a $3 million state-of-the-art facility for the species in the 1980s. But in recent years, animal-rights advocates had criticized the exhibit as inhumane for being too small and not _____44_____ the elephants' natural living area. Under pressure from activists following the death of an elephant in 2014, and thanks to new guidelines from the nation's main zoo organization, Woodland Park officials decided to _____45_____ one of its most popular exhibits and place the elephants elsewhere.Nearly two centuries after the first modern zoo opened in London's Regent's Park, the very concept of a place where families can visit and observe animals is being _____46_____ like never before. Across the US and around the world, zoos are finding that balancing the demands of entertainment, education and conservation is increasingly _____47_____. Ethical(伦理的）concerns have been coupled with _____48_____ fears—both for people and for animals—following an incident in May when officials at the Cincinnati Zoo shot and killed a 17-year-old gorilla named Haram be to protect a child who'd fallen into the exhibit. More _____49_____, there's a greater sensitivity to the environmental implications of zoos.Ask a dozen zoo directors why these places should exist today and you'll get a different answer every time. Education, conservation and science all _____50_____. But the _____51_____ answer -cultivating sympathy for animals—is becoming harder to do while providing humane care to these animals.Study after study has shown that many animal species are far smarter and more _____52_____ than previously understood, giving new insights into how they may suffer from anxiety and depression when they are removed from _____53_____. That has forced a difficult existential question: If we acknowledge that creatures suffer when they're trapped, should they be kept in zoos? Not even those who have _____54_____ the cause for more humane exhibits have an answer. "Even the best zoos today are based on captivity and coercion(囚禁与胁迫)”，says Jon Coe, the legendary zoo designer "To me. that's the _____55_____ fault.”41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A 27-year-old graphic designer from Oxfordshire in England completed a record-breaking journey across Australia yesterday. It was a 5,800 kilometre journey—and he travelled the whole distance on a skateboard. David Cornthwaite, who started skateboarding less than two years ago, decided on his journey after waking up one morning and realising he hated his job. 'I thought the only thing keeping me going is the skate to and from work. I was looking for something new/ he said. "I saw a Lonely Planet guide to Australia. There was a map on the back. Perth was on one side and Brisbane on the other and I thought, 'that'll do”.He decided to prepare by skateboarding from John O'Groats to Lands End: the two points further apart on the British mainland. That 1,442 kilometre journey, which he finished in June, took just over a month, during which an infected blister (水泡)swelled to the 'size of a tennis ball’. Crossing Australia on a skateboard brough unique challenges. The wind caused by huge road trains, the lorries that thunder across the Outback, was so powerful that he was sometimes blown off his board. Multiple blisters and aching ankles, toes and feet, have kept him in almost constant pain for the last six weeks. ,I feel like an old man. I'm not sure that anyone has ever had this many blisters/ he said. Temperatures of 40cC and above mean that he has used more than a dozen tubes of factor 30 sunscreen. 'There have been moments where I thought "this is ridiculous. I have to rest”，but I never considered giving up.’Skating an average of 50 kilometres a day and hitting speeds of up to 50kph on downhill runs, he left Perth. Western Australia, and skated across the fearsome Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. After reaching Adelaide he made his way to Melbourne and from there to Sydney A support team of seven people trailed from all the way in a four-wheel drive vehicle, which included camping equipment for night shops. The journey has smashed the previous record for a long-distance skateboard, set by an American, Jack Smith, who covered 4,800 kilometres across the US in 2003. David Comthwaite was less than three kilometres from the end of his epic journey when he hit a hole and was thrown off his skateboard, suffering cuts and bruises to his shoulders, knees, hips and elbows. ‘I was only going to 40km at the time, so although it wasn't pretty; it could have been a lot worse,’ he said.56. Why did David Comthwaite decide to skateboard across Australia?A. He wanted to break a world record.B. He was an experienced skateboarderC. He wanted to try something different.D. He was given a guidebook about Australia.51. What made David fall of his skateboard several times in Australia?A. The injuries on his feet.B. The thunderstorms in the Outback.C. The trains that race across the Outback.D. The wind created by huge lorries going past.58. Which of the following statements is true of David while he was on the journey?A. He slept in a tent during the journey.B. He skated at an average speed of 50 kph.C. He thought of giving up the journey halfway.D. He was sunburned due to the misuse of sunscreen.(B)Often enough the craft worker's place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement. At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters' quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines (陶制俑)were also established well within the city of Athens itself Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.: its distinctive color was the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s (窑) temperature during an extended three-stage period. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other.The broad use of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to limit . themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage jars or building materials. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products or to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means, as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify.60. The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its__________.A. unusual materialsB. production techniquesC. similarity to other craftsD. resemblance to earlier pottery61 . Which of the following advantage did terra-cotta have?A. It had a lasting shine on the surface.B. It could be used for many purposes.C. It did not break during the firing process.D. It was less expensive than other available materials.62. Which of the following statements is true of ancient Greek potters and vase painters?A. They seldom produced inferior ware.B. They stuck to their way of producing pieces.C. It is almost impossible to draw a clear line between them.D. It is hard to explain why they didn't make any human images’(C)How does one protect elephants from ivory poachers (象牙偷猎者)in an African reserve the size of a small country? This task typically falls to park rangers who may spend weeks patrolling the bush on foot sometimes lacking basic devices such as radios, tents or even socks. They are largely losing to poachers.To stop the losses, conservationists are increasingly turning to technology. The latest tools include real-time tracking collars, developed by the Kenya-based nonprofit Save the Elephants and currently being used on more than 325 animals in 10 countries--- The organization's researchers wrote algorithms (算法)that use signals from the collars to automatically detect when an animal stops moving (indicating it may be dead), slows down (suggesting it may be injured) or heads toward a danger zone, such as an area known for poaching. Unlike traditional tracking collars, many of which send geographical coordinates infrequently or store them onboard for later retrieval, these devices' real-time feeds enable rangers to react quickly. In several cases, they have led to arrests.The amount of data produced by the new collars quickly became overwhelming, however. So Save the Elephants partnered with Vulcan- a company created by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen—which engineered an open-source tracking application for iOS and the Web called the Domain Awareness System. The DAS app sends alerts when a potential problem arises—if field sensors pick up on human intruders, for example. It also integrates a wealth of other information, including the positions of nearby rangers, vehicles and aircraft, as well as detected gunshots, camera trap feeds, arrest and crime-scene records, weather, and more.Some of the technologies used in the collars—GPS, onboard data storage, phone or satellite receivers—are found in everyday devices, including smartphones. Yet in this case these tools are being applied in an exceptional way, according to Jake Wall, geospatial science adviser for Save the Elephants. It is the first time all the data that DAS uses have been presented in one neat feed and map, he says.An early version of the program is being tested at four sites in Africa, with a 10-site expansion planned for September. At Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, DAS is already seen as a game changer after its launch less than a year ago, says Batian Craig, director of 51 Degrees, a private company that oversees security operations at Lewa.63. The latest tracking collars are different from traditional ones in that __________.A. they can send signals immediatelyB. they withdraw information at any timeC. they can store more information onboardD. they send geographical coordinates infrequently64. Why did Save the Elephants partner with Vulcan?A. It has met with financial problems.B. It hopes to make a big profit in the future.C. It doesn't know how to advance its collar.D. It can't handle the collected data very well.65. What does Batian Craig say about DAS?A. It will make a big difference.B. It was launched in September.C. It will have a new version soon.D. It needs to be tested at more sites.66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How Elephants LiveB. Find My ElephantC. Elephant-Friendly AreasD. Elephants VS PoachersSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Ancient China's Terracotta Army （兵马俑）One of the greatest archaeological（考古的）finds of all time is the Terracotta Army of ancient China. Discovered accidentally in 1974, in Xi'an Province, in China, when local farmers were digging for water, over 8.000 baked clay figures have since been found.__________67__________ Emperor Qin was one of the most important rulers in Chinese history. After becoming emperor of the state of Qin at the age of 13. he conquered six other states over the next 25 years, and became the first emperor of a united China.In Qin's time, the ancient Chinese believed that their "afterlife" was very similar to the life on earth. Consequently, when they died and were buried, objects which would be useful to them in the next life were buried with them. __________ 68__________ In addition, the emperor ordered an army to be built so that his palace would be protected.__________69__________ In ancient China, however, they used a completely different method.A huge production line was established to make the tens of thousands of individual human and animal statues which Emperor Qin demanded. All the different pails of the body such as legs, arms, and heads were made separately and then assembled. The same process was also used for other pieces such as ears, beards, and armour. When the whole figure was completed, it was baked in an oven.The terracotta figures are life-like and life-sized. Each one has a different facial expression and hairstyle, as well as uniforms which indicate their job and rank. Among the figures there are ordinary soldiers, archers, and officers, together with horses. They were discovered arranged in military formation ready to protect the emperor in the afterlife.In 1987, the tomb and army of Emperor Qin were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. __________70__________ The Terracotta Army clearly deserves this honour, as nearly two million people from all over the world visit it each year.IV.

Use your own words as far as possible.Common Characteristics of FolktalesMost of us know some very old folktales. People shared these stories orally for years before writing them down. Since people told stories instead of writing them, the stories changed in between places and with each storyteller. Each new storyteller made changes to the stories based on his own traditions and culture. For example, many cultures have stories like the raven tale about how people got light. In these tales, though, the main character is another type of animal.Next the characters in folktales are similar They are usually ordinary characters who do extraordinary things. They usually have only one or two strong characteristics. For instance, thechief in the Raven story is selfish and not very smart. But Raven is very generous—he wants to help people. And he's very clever as he finds a way to get the light . In addition, often the characters in folktales are not people but animals with human qualities. They talk, make plans, and have strong emotions. Small animals such as the popular spider and turtle play this role in West African stories. In summary, the characters of folktales are simple but often clever in achieving their goals. Finally, the plot, or what happens in the folktale, is usually exciting. Most folktales begin with an expression like “a long time ago" and then move very quickly into the story, which starts with a problem. For instance, a strong, bad character often gives a weaker character a task and promises something if he completes the task. The weaker character often uses clever tricks, special skills, or magic to complete the task. In the end of a folktale, the good characters usually win and the bad characters lose. In conclusion, the plot of a folktale is interesting.So, in summary, we know that the tradition of folktales is very old. They are told all over the world, but they share several of the same features, as said above.V.

For centuries, the “Big Four” diamonds, red stones, green stones and blue stones—ruled the gem (珠宝) world. When tanzanite first appeared in 1967, it became a hit. Unlike those other stones, which are mined all over the world, tanzanite can be found in only one place on Earth: in the remote Merelani Hills in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa.Gem of the century meets deal of the century. With its remarkable rarity and unique gemstone qualities, it’s no wonder that experts have called it “the gemstone of the 20th century”.

Get your hands on the Karatu Tanzanite Ring before they’re gone!Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. Experience the rare beauty of the Karatu Tanzanite Ring for two months. If you’re not completely impressed, simply send it back within 60 days for a complete return of the sale price. We want you to feel like you got the deal of the century!21. What is tanzanite?A.

She prepared herself for her best smile in3,2, 1!Finally! A picture she can work with. Everyone else in school had a social media account and nobody knows how hard she tried to eve ntually get mom’s permi ssion. She had been sitting up her account for days, and the picture of herself was the final touch.She had worked cautiously creating her profile. Her hometown was boring, so she filled in a more exciting one several towns over. Her job was nonexistent since she was only 14, but she filled in “Accountant”. Why not? Seemed like a cool job. And she was getting good at making a perfect account here, so “accountant” was fitting.She wrote her first post. Then deleted it. She wanted to avoid sounding like she just started an account. She thought of something brilliant.“Hey new account here, had to. You know, locked out of my other one. Add me here!”Now people would think she had to start this one because an old one got hacked (非法入侵)，and they just didn’t know she had none before. Then the “friend spread” would happen. The website would start suggesting her page to friends of friends until she grew her list to a respectable size.It was starting already! Friend requests on her list. A comment! “Gorgeous (漂亮的) girl!” It was from Amy, in her science class. Reilly felt gorgeous.At school, Reilly looked around wondering who saw her new profile.“Hey. Saw your new account,” Nora, her best friend, said from somewhere behind her.“How does it look?” Reilly asked.“It looks pretty cool. But, I almost didn’t know it was you, Reilly,” Nora smiled. “And just in case you forget, you are good enough as you are.”24. What was Reilly busy doing these days?A. Looking for a cool jotB.

Reilly should pursue the best version of herself.C. Reilly shouldn't be too proud of what she's done.D. Reilly shouldn't forget to show the good side of her.CA new network of dedicated antennas (天线) in Africa will lend insight into the damage that storms of charged particles (粒子) from the sun make on satellite and radio communications. Zambia set up its first such sensor in March —one of eight multifrequency receivers being stationed around Africa, in addition to four already operating in South Africa. Kenya and Nigeria will set up their receivers by the end of the year.The Space Weather network that extends over Africa will provide real-time data on how solar storms distort (扭曲) the ionosphere, the charged outer layer of Earth's atmosphere. This distortion can have dangerous consequences, says Mpho Tshisaphungo, a space weather researcher at the South African National Space Agency (SANSA). Signals between crucial satellites and the ground pass through this region, where charged particles can cause interference (干扰). Also, high-frequency radio signals (often used in defense and emergency services communications) have to bounce off the ionosphere; Tshisaphungo notes that when solar storms change the layer, “the radio signal may eithe r be weakened, delayed or absorbed by the iono sphere.”“While there are data available from international space weather programs, if you want to look at what’s happening on the African continent, then you need to take measurements in Africa,” says John Habarulema, a space scientist at SANSA. Habarulema’s team developed a model last year that maps electron density (电子密度) in the ionosphere and fills in measurement gaps. The new local receivers will boost this model's accuracy and let it describe fluctuations (波动) over the full continent. “We need to have the global perspective and put that data into our global models,” says Terry Onsager, a U.S. physicist. “But at the same time, space weather disturbances can vary enormously from location to location.” And it is becoming increasingly important to model the ionosphere’s behavior, he says, because “we’re getting more and more reliant on techmologies that are reliant on space weather.”28. What is the function of the newly-set antennas in Africa?A. To prevent possible distortion of the ionosphere.B. To analyse the weather changing records of the region.C. To improve internet connectivity in African rural areas.D. To monitor solar storms’ effects on radio communications.29. Which of the following is a “dangerous consequence” according to paragraph 2?A. Satellites may be destroyed.B. Crucial signals may be blocked.C. Bad weather may strike the earth.D. Charged particles may be weakened.30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The development of global weather models.B. The factors of accurate space measurement.C. The importance of collecting global climate data.D. The necessity of building multi frequency receivers in Africa.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The sun takes people on earth by stormB. Joint efforts in need to deal with solar stormsC. New space weather network extends over AfricaD. Africa on board to protect radio communicationsDHow could anyone dislike giving and receiving gifts? A good gift can be totally life changing. Gifts are so meaningful that some people identify “receiving gifts” as their primary“love language”.Indeed, on the surface, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to experience and create delight. But according to a 2023 survey, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language overall.The problem is that occasions that involve gift giving are full of uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might still be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. For instance, you don’t want to give someone a gag (恶作剧) gift when they're giving you a sincere, heartfelt gift. Mismatched approaches to gift-giving are a common recipe for awkwardness.There can also be enormous uncertainty around how your gift will be experienced by the receiver. Imagine that a close friend is showing some signs of seasonal affective disorder, and you’re giving him a therapy (疔法) lamp as a gift. True, he may very well be appreciative, indicating that this is “just what he needed.” But what if he interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of commentary on his affective state? One could imagine a reaction along the lines of “Gosh, I’m sorry I’ve been so unpleasant to be around,” The message we send is not necessarily the same as the message received.Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. If you are like me, you may have found yourself in a setting where you expect a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are headed your way. There can be some fear that comes with knowing that you'll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. Even worse, you might worry that the gift-giver will detect your in sincerity, wounding them in the process.It's not all bad, of course. When done carefully, gift-giving can be a wonderful way to draw people closer together, in a lasting way.32. Gift giving is full of uncertainty because ______.A. people prepare insincere gifts for othersB. the gifts they give are of the same categoryC. people shop for gifts for different occasionsD. mismatched gift- giving frequently happens33. An example of the therapy lamp is used to illustrate ______.A. trust can be earned through gift-givingB. misunderstanding can arise from gift-givingC. harmony can be achieved through gift-givingD. depression can be a byproduct of gift-giving34. What makes a gift-receiver most anxious?A. Expressing disappointment over the gifts.B. Having pretended delight at the gifts uncovered.C. Expecting well-intentioned gifts from friends.D. Fearing to extend appreciation for the gifts.35. What is the author’s at titude towards gift giving?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Objective.D. Unclear.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。

2023届上海市上海中学高三模拟卷练习二英语试卷(含答案)
高考英语上海卷模拟试卷（二）考生注意：1.考试时间120分钟，试卷满分140分。
2.本考试设试卷和答题纸两部分。
第I卷（共90分）I. Listening Comprehension （25 分）Section A （每题1分，共10分）Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.II. Grammar and Vocabulary (每题1 分,共20 分)Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, used one word that best fits each blank.An implant that can cool nerves to block pain signals has been unveiled by researchers who say the device could offer an alternative to drugssuch as opioids (类鸦片活性肽).The team behind the device say it could bring benefits for management of acute pain such as (21)_______ experienced after amputations (截肢)or nerve grafts."We are optimistic that this represents a very promising starting point for an engineering approach (22)_______ treating pain,” said Prof John Rogers of Northwestern University in the US, a co-author of the research. But he cautioned that it might be some time (23) _______ they were available to patients. "As with any implantable device, the regulatory process can be slow, typically (24) _______ (involve) much more extensive animal model studies over a period of years," he said.Writing in the journal Science, the team report that the device to block pain signals, which (25) _______(test) only on rats so far, involves a pump, external control system and an implant made from a soft, rubbery substance. The latter forms a sealed collection of tiny channels which form a twisting path in the part of the implant that sits around the target nerve like a cuff.When liquid coolant and dry nitrogen flow through the implant, the liquid causes a drop in temperature. An electronic sensor in the device allows the temperature at the nerve (26) _______(keep) constant."All body processes are based on metabolic chemical reactions, motions of ions and flows of fluids--all (27) _______slow down as a result ofcooling,” said Rogers. “ The net effect when cooling is applied to a nerve is in blocking of electrical signals."Among their experiments, the team tracked two rats with an injury, recording over a three- week period the minimum force that (28)_______be applied to the hind paw to cause the animal to retract (缩回)it. This data was then compared against three rats who were similarly injured but also had the implant. The results suggest bouts of cooling of the injured nerve from 37℃ to 10℃led to (29) _______(severe) pain, with a sevenfold increase in the force that could be applied to the paw. The team say the implant’s benefits include (30)_______, in contrast to opioids, it is not addictive. As the implant is made with water-soluble and biocompatible materials, it can break down in the body after use. The implant could be inserted as an extension of the patient’s initial surgery.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the -words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one more word than you need.A. attachedB. bottle-fedC. confusionD. invisibleE. originallyF. orphanedG. partneringH. procedureI. reproducedJ. subjectsK. unintentionallySaving Baby BearsReacting to the auditory assault of barking dogs, shouts and rifle blasts, a 168-pound American black bear shot out and hightailed (迅速逃走)it into the woods off a logging road.His sister, weighing in at 135 pounds, took a little more time to overcome her fear and (31) _______ before she, too, ran for the trees and away from the humans who had driven more than 100 miles to witness the bears’ return to the wild.The cubs were the 106th and 107th (32) _______ or injured bears to be raised or treated at the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) Wildlife Center in Washington state, then released months later in the same general area where they were (33) _______found. Fitted with GPS collars and tattooed with identification numbers on their gums, the bears are also among the latest (34) _______of a long-term research study being conducted by Rich Beausoleil and Lindsay Welfelt, both biologists and bear and cougar specialists.The siblings were only two weeks old when a forest worker and his dog (35) _______ disturbed their den in February 2020, scaring away their mother. She never returned.The worker contacted the WDFW, an agency (36) _______with PAWS to rehabilitate sick, injured wild animals before releasing them back into their natural habitats."Their eyes and ears weren't open, and their teeth hadn't evenerupted,Jennifer Convy, PAWS senior director of wildlife, said of the cubs, which each weighed less than 2 pounds when they arrived and were the youngest ever to be raised at the center.Though (37) _______at first, the cubs weren't cuddled. Instead, their caregivers wore bear- scented bear suits during feedings once the cubs' eyes had opened. At PAWS, the staff and volunteers take pains to be (38)_______to all the animals in their care."They don't see us, ever. We don't talk to them. We don't name the animals because we don't want our staff or volunteers to get (39)_______，“ Convy said. After more than a year, the bear siblings were released.The wildlife biologists are studying how the bears raised at PAWS fare after their release, compared to their wild-reared brethren. One cub released in 2017 had her first litter of cubs in January."We've been to her den several times." Beausoleil said. "She (40)_______ and had cubs of her own ... This was kind of a turning point for us."After all, the whole point of PAWS' rehabilitation "is to protect and perpetuate (使持续) the species," he said.III. Reading Comprehension (45 分)Section A (每题1分，共15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four wordsor phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Other da Vinci CodeFor centuries, two of the most intriguing questions about Leonardo da Vinci's "Mon a Lisa" were "Who " and "When ”A(n) (41) _______made at Heidelberg University in 2005 pretty much answered both. A note written in a manuscript in the library (42) _______the account of da Vinci's first biographer, Giorgio Vasari: that the sitter was a merchanfs wife, Lisa Gherardini. The note also helped date the masterpiece to between 1503 and 1506.A(n) (43)_______ mystery-"Where "- is still in dispute. But on June 3rd a French engineer, Pascal Cotte, declared that he and a collaborator had (44) _______the landscape in the background of the painting. Arguments had (45)_______ been made for stretches of countryside in the Marche region and between Milan and Genoa. During a presentation in Vinci, near Florence, Mr Cotte maintained that the artist was more plausibly depicting a part of his native Tuscany 一one that keenly interested him at the time. According to this theory, da Vinci represented the area not as it was, but as, in an unrealised scheme, he (46) _______ it to be.Mr Cotte, who was asked by the Louvre (where the "Mona Lisa" hangs) to create a digital image of the painting, is the inventor of themultispectral camera: a device that can detect not only the drawing below the (47) _______of an oil painting, but also, where they exist, intermediate layers of work. It was among these, under what appears to be a pointed rock, that he found a(n) (48) _______sketch showing that da Vinci meant it to represent a castellated tower.The landscape of the "Mona Lisa" also includes a huge overhanging cliff. That is (49)_______ to one that da Vinci included in a sketch of a fortress (堡垒)contested by Pisa and Florence in the war that flared between them in 1503 (around the time he was painting Gherardini). The (50)_______ with the nearby cliff ——and a tower, known as the Caprona tower 一all overlook the river Amo as it snakes from Florence to Pisa. All three also feature in drawings made by da Vinci to illustrate a plan about which, says Mr Cotte, he became “(51) _______”.This involved diverting the Amo to (52) _______Pisa's water supply and give Florence an outlet to the Mediterranean. In the early 1500s, with the two citystates at war, the idea was under active consideration. Mr Cotte argues that a(n) (53) _______ winding through desolate countryside at the right of the "Mona Lisa" is too wide to be a road, as some have speculated, and is(54) _______the driedup bed of the Amo as da Vinci envisaged (设想)it once his plan had been adopted.It never was. But if Mr Cotte's theory is right, it might just explain why Gherardini, a Florentine, exhibits such a contented, if mysterious, (55)_______。

She intended to share the challenges and sorrows in her life with her sister. However, when she dialed the area code 01225, she accidentally punched in 01275 instead. This innocent mistake led her to reach Jones in Bristol, England.Recalling about the fateful phone call, Jones said: “When Charlotte realized her error, she apologized sincerely. She was extremely polite and charming. Besides, Charlotte’s warmth and openness were immediately evident.”In the following weeks, they called each other several times. Through their conversations, Jones discovered that Charlotte, who lived in Cornwall, England, had been trying to reach her sister.Charlotte told that during a divorce with her husband, Jones had become a source of comfort for her. She expressed gratitude because Jones’ kindness and encouragement as a stranger had lifted her spirits. Over the next several years, the two forged a strong friendship through their phone conversations, discussing their children — Charlotte, a mother of two, and Jones, a father of three.On Thanksgiving Day, Jones and his wife and children traveled to Cornwall. Finally meeting face-to-face, Charlotte exclaimed, “Oh, it was an remarkable day. The happiest Thanksgiving of my life, which I will never forget!” The sun shone brightly that day, warm as spring. It was a perfect day.After their encounter, Jones posted a photo of himself with Charlotte on Facebook, along with a heartfelt message: “The distance between people in this world is just a wrong phone number. It’s truly unbelievable.”Charlotte’s innocent mistake taught us an important lesson about the unexpected connections that can arise in life. Taking the initiative to reach out can lead to meaningful relationships that enrich our lives in ways we never imagined. We are reminded to cherish the unexpected connections that come into our lives and embrace the beautiful moments that they bring.41．Why did Charlotte make a mistake when dialing the phone number?A．She was not familiar with the area codes.B．She dialed the wrong area code accidentally.C．The phone she used was not working properly.D．Her sister gave her a wrong number on purpose.42．What was Jones’ first impression of Charlotte?A．Kind and open.B．Calm and helpful.C．Polite and warm.D．Clever and brave.43．Why is Charlotte so grateful to Jones?A．Because he tried to help her to find her sister.B．Because he comforted her every day by phone.C．Because he helped her with a lot of housework.D．Because he cheered her up during her hard time.44．The Thanksgiving Day was remarkable because ________.A．Charlotte went to see Jones alone B．Charlotte called Jones again and againC．it was sunny and warm that day D．the two families met face to face 45．What does the author want to tell us through this article?A．People can form a strong friendship through accidental connections.B．Phone numbers can often lead to misunderstandings and mistakes.C．Distance is a barrier to building friendships and relationships.D．A person’s life can change dramatically because of the awful divorce.It turns out that humans aren’t the only ones taking mathematics tests. A group of cognitive (认知的) scientists are training bees to perform simple addition and subtraction (减法).For the experiment, the scientists lured individual bees with sugar water. “She flies back to the hive, gives it to the other bees, and two minutes later she’ll come back and do it again,” Dyer said, a scientist from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. They taught and tested 14 bees over the course of the experiment—one bee at a time.To learn the rules, a bee first would be shown cards printed with a number of shapes in one of two colors: blue, if they were supposed to add one to the shapes on the card, or yellow, if they were meant to subtract one shape. Then, the bee would choose an answer to the problem by flying to one of two presented solutions. If it chose well, it found itself near a solution of delicious sugar water. If it chose poorly, however, it would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. The researchers found that each bee picked the correct answer in both addition and subtraction trials about 70percent of the time.Dyer said, “Problem-solving requires both long-term memory and short-term memory. Long-term memory allows the bees to remember that blue and yellow equate to separate mathematical rules. Short-term memory lets them recall the actual numbers in a particular problem.”“It is assumed that humans are very complex, and there’s a decreasing level of complexity going away from humans,” said Muth, an animal congnition researcher who wasn’t involved inthis study. But in fact, complex awareness, like the mathematical problems solved by bees, can be made up of relativlely simple components.That doesn’t explain why bees might have evolved the ability to figure out mathematical problems, though. One possibility is that bees didn’t evolve to do addition and subtraction. They just evolved to be smart enough to figure it out.Dyer said that observing a tiny animal with a brain that has less than a million neurons (神经元) learn a very complex task makes him think, “Wow, what can humans achieve?”46．What are the scientists training bees to do in the experiment?A．Flying on blue and yellow cards.B．Adding shapes to different cards.C．Solving simple mathematical problems.D．Tasting water of two flavors.47．What would happen if the bees chose the wrong answer to the problem?A．They would be punished with a bad-tasting drink.B．They would be treated with sugar drink.C．They would be permitted to leave the hive.D．They would be given a beautiful shape card.48．What role does memory play in problem-solving?A．Long-term memory plays a bigger part.B．Long-term memory contributes to recalling.C．Short-term memory facilitates remembering.D．Short-term memory is as important as long-term memory.49．What can we learn from the passage?A．Bees are as complex as man in many aspects.B．Bees are by nature good at mathematics.C．Complex awareness can consist of simple components.D．Bees learn to solve maths problems under certain pressure.50．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Human achievements can be limitless.B．Human brains deserve good study.C．Humans must fully develop neurons.D．Humans are good at observation.I used to read tens of books every month. But as I grew up, things changed. I find itincreasingly difficult to find the time and motivation to sit down and read a book from cover to cover.To keep track of the books I’ve read, I turned to Goodreads, a social networking platform for book lovers. It’s a great way to share recommendations with friends and show off your literary progress. However, if we can’t achieve reading goals or can’t catch up with our friends, it can also exacerbate the feeling of “not doing enough” of your favorite hobby.Halimah Begum, a literature editor from London, understands the struggle. “With Goodreads constantly tracking my reading, I am often worrying and feeling the pressure to read more books.” she says. “Sometimes, I feel under great pressure because I don’t want to fall behind on my goal and not reach it at the end of the year.”I asked Nicole Villegas, an occupational therapist, about our obsession with tracking everything we do. She explained that it can give us a sense of control and provide us with a tool to measure our progress. “When we track things like the books we’ve read or the friends we’ve visited, we’re essentially gathering data about our hobbies,” she says. “It’s a powerful tool to help us look back on our progress and give us a sense of accomplishment.”Unfortunately, the social aspect of apps like Goodreads doesn’t help. “Setting goals or tracking progress on public platforms adds a layer of extrinsic motivation that can also contribute to a sense of pressure to perform or give in to social comparisons,” Villegas says. “When it comes to reading, people may be tempted to finish books that aren’t a good fit instead of following their interests.”Despite this, we often forget the point of doing hobbies in the first place. “Reading shouldn’t be something we have to ‘smash’, but just what we do for the joy of it. Maintain the feeling as you navigate your book-tracking app and if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or pressured, set it aside,” Villegas continues. “At the end of the day, it’s you and your book.”51．What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Worsen.B．Affect.C．Relieve.D．Improve. 52．What does Halimah Begum think of tracking one’s reading?A．It is a waste of time.B．It makes one feel stressed.C．It encourages one to read more.D．It helps one to enjoy reading.53．Why do we like to track everything we do according to Nicole Villegas?A．To show off to our friends.B．To try to spend our time wisely.C．To find what suits us most.D．To obtain a sense of achievement. 54．What’s Nicole Villegas’s suggestion about using book-tracking apps?A．To avoid using it.B．To use it reasonably.C．To rely more on it.D．To make full use of it.55．What’s the main idea of this article?A．The best way to track reading progress — Goodreads.B．The necessity to ignore social media and focus on hobbies.C．The positive and negative effects of tracking our hobbies.D．The importance of setting goals to help people stay motivated.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

（A）Shows that are all about movies.“Film spotting”“Film spotting” has been producing weekly programs of insightful film analysis since 2005. Episodes typically begin with an in-depth discussion of one major new theatrical release. A reliable highlights is a Massacre Theater, in which the hosts gamely re-enact(重演)a scene and invite listeners to guess which movie it is from.“How did these get made?”The actors Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas host this discussion that doesn’t aim to pile hate on bad films so much as make detailed fun of them but try to figure out how they came to be. The hosts are so attractive that the commentary doesn’t come off as negative; even when they discuss true duds, their real love of movies shines through.“The Rewatchables”“The Rewatchables” taps into the universal joy of revisiting a favorite movie，and the less universal joy of doing it with a bunch of deeply knowledgeable friends. Each episode finds Bill Simmons, host of the show, and a cast of guests examining a movie that may not be an obvious classic, but is a culturally significant film that you have likely seen at least once.“Scripetnotes”Billed as a show about “screenwriting and things that are interesting to screen writers”, “Scripetnotes” offers specific advice on screenwriting. The show’s regular Three Page Challenge, in which the two hosts, Craig Mazin and John August, comment on the sample of an audience- submitted screenplay, is invaluable whether you are an ambitious screenwriter or a curious film fan.1．What is the most interesting part of the “Film Spotting”?A．Re-enacting a new theoretical release.B．Involving people in guessing movies.C．Reviewing culturally significant films.D．Acting with the audience-submitted screenplay.2．What does the show hosted by Bill Simmons focus on?A．Revisiting popular filmsB．Making remarks on bad filmsC．Recommending worth-watching classicsD．Exploring the way the film business works.m3．Which show will be especially attractive to film writers?A. “Scripetnotes”B. “Film spotting”C. “The Rewatchables”D. “How did these get made”（B）Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn,but you’ll need some help and need to work extra hard.If you have a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia,remember that you are not slow or stupid.Learning disabilities can be genetic.That means they can be passed down in families through the genes.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works,and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.Dyslexia is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing.Kids who have trouble with math may have dyscalculia.Other kids may have language disorders,meaning they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.It can be confusing,though.What qualifies as“trouble” enough to be diagnosed as a learning disability?Reading,doing math,and writing letters may be tough for lots of kids at first.But when those troubles don’t fade away and it’s really difficult to make any progress,it’s possible that the kid has a learning disability.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.You might feel different from everyone else.But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing,you’re on the right track.Now,you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.But for this special help to really work,you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re learning.It may take a lot of efforts every day.That can be a challenge,but you can do it.Soon,you’ll enjoy the results of all your h ard work—more fun and success at school.1.What do we know about learning disability?A.It is a physical disease.B.It can be treated by doctors.C.It happens to children who are lazy.D.It gets you into trouble when learning a subject.2.Children are likely to have a learning disability .A.if their parents have the same problemB.if they are not interested in a subjectC.if they don’t get help in timeD.if they don’t work hard3.How can you know if you have a learning disability?A.Your teacher says you are a slow student.B.You can’t make progress after hard work.C.You have trouble with some lessons at first.D.Your learning style is different from others.4.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To find out the reasons for the learning disability.B.To get parents to know more about their children.C.To help people know and handle learning disability.D.To ask teachers to help students with learning disability.（C）Dream in HeartOn the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate—a wrinkled little old lady—to us.Her name was Rose,and she was eighty-seven years old.After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake.She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one.We became instant friends.Every day for the following months,we would leave class together and talk nonstop.I was always attracted,listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went.She tended to be highly motivated,responsible,and deeply involved in class participation.In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with.She even participated in some form of athletic activity.She said that extra-curricular activities could form a vital part of her experience,creating unique chances for friendship and learning.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal.A little embarrassed,she leaned into the microphone and simply said,“I’m sorry I’m so nervous.” As we laughed,shecleared her throat and began,“We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing.There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up.If you’re nineteen years old and lie in bed fo r one full year,you will turn twenty.If I’m eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year,I will turn eighty-eight.Anybody can grow older.It’s non-optional but that doesn’t take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change.In this way the elderly don’t have regrets for what they did,but rather for things they did not do.” Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose.She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives.At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.1.Why does the author compare Rose to the “time machine” in Paragraph 2?A.To stress her old age and knowledge of life.B.To describe the close friendship between them.C.To show that she always enjoyed her active life.D.To explain why she took on a challenge in college.2.Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because .A.she was a great football fanB.she was the smartest studentC.she tried hard to achieve her dreamD.she became more educated than the others3.We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that .A.growing old means growing upB.it takes talent and ability to grow upC.receiving high education helps to be courageousD.one grows old at the same time when he grows up4.The passage is intended to .A.provide an example for the elderlyB.discuss how to grow up quicklyC.tell the importance of attending collegeD.inspire the readers to live up to lives（D）I first met Paul Newman in 1968,when George Roy Hill,the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,introduced us in New York City.When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me.I don’t know how many people would have done that;they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference,we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors:humorous,aggressive,and making fun of each other —but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success,you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill,and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly,but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They had similar characteristics.3.What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph3refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devicesBrandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids couldbe missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "41. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?A. Because more electronic devices are available to them.B. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.C. Because they have less other activities.D. Because they have less homework to do.42. It is known from the passage that ____.A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night textB. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five yearsC. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devicesD. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studies43. Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?A. Watching TV while using the computer.B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.C. Playing video games on the Internet.D. Listening to music while relaxing.44. According to the passage, Victoria Rideout would probably agree that ____.A. kids should do homework while surfing the InternetB. kids should do homework in a place without disturbanceC. kids should spend more time on homeworkD. kids should have more homework than before参考答案41ACAB****************************************************【甘肃省武威六中2018届高三阶段性考试】B The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing．October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities havesometh ing called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life．However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect （前景）of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking（令人头痛的）. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life o n the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush intoanything that you’ll regret for the next three years.Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette（礼节）. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new p eople than if you’re someone who never leaves their room.●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give yo u a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits．45．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage？A．October is generally the busiest month for universities．B．It’s a good idea to have a doorstop.C．A bit of planning can make Freshers’ Week easier.D．The first week of your every year at university is called Freshers’ Week．46.

Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I’m sorry to say that the men in the family – my dad, my younger brother and myself – rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it’s not yet time to eat.First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights – visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.49. The purpose of the text is to ________.A. tell what the family do for Thanksgiving DayB. tell how the family spends Thanksgiving DayC. introduce foods served on Thanksgiving DayD. introduce the American Thanksgiving Day50. On Thanksgiving Day the author’s family do the following except ________.A. watching a movieB. making visitsC. having a big mealD. watching football51. Why does the author’s mind usually “go blank” when saying a prayer of thanks?A. He is too thankful to say a word.B. His mind is on the food before him.C. He feels too excited to speak.D. He is shy to speak in public.52. The underlined phrase “dig in” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.A. chat with othersB. make a holeC. mix things upD. start eating参考答案49、BA BD甘肃省武威六中2018届高三阶段性考试---D"Everybody loves a bargain．" One person’s useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person's bargain．That is why so many Americans do not throw things away．They put them outside their houses．They put on a "For Sale" sign．And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.The sellers put a paid announcement in a local newspaper．It tells, when and where the yard sale will take place．These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn．Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house．Then they sit all day in the sunlight—like tired guests at a party—waiting for someone to take them home．Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale．Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else．Cooking equipment is also popular．So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs．Then there are objects called "white elephants"．A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless．It may be an electric light shaped like a fish．You feel a sharp pain whenever you look at it．To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy．Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect．It may be old toy trains, for example, or paintings of dogs．Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before．Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special．They might buy an object simply because it costs so little.

Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigk is among the top computer technicians and programmers at Intelidata Technologies Corp. , a large software company with several offices across the United States. "After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send E-mail to each other." In three weeks Mr. Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months" , says Mr. Braun. "Suleyman can'see' into the heart of the computer."Mr. Gokyigit's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit.The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakows-ki, an office manager atInteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,' he says.Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention,' says Mrs. Nowa-kowski, his boss.Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver," says Mr. Braun.1. According to Mr. Braun, SuleymanA. can work wonders on computerB. is the best technician in the worldC. has done a hard job in three monthsD. has united InteliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company.答案: A 指导：据全文可知，Suleyman在电脑方面有非凡的才能，应选A：其他各项均与原文有出人。

And that's when Polly, a library manager, helped him sign up as a 1 , for Robot Club in the library.Max hadn't volunteered before and he didn't know anything about 2 . He opened the packs containing the robots, nervously staring at the mess of parts. A dozen primary-age children gathered around the table, 3 eagerly. Almost double the number of adults crowded around them, watching.Glancing around the library at the many parents and carers accompanying the robot builders, Max knew he had to face this 4 .“Okay, team,” he started 5 , adopting the tone he'd used to brief his unit during his firefighting days. “We're going to build these robots one step at a time.”The children nodded, their hands busy with screws and plastic limbs. Max wandered from table to table, 6 words of encouragement, and slowly but surely, piecing together the instructions in his mind.An hour passed, and the room was filled with the sound of chatter and clinking parts. As the final minutes of Robot Club ticked away, Max stood back and 7 the room. Robots of all shapes and sizes stood on the tables. The children were excited, 8 their creations to anyone who would look.As they began to leave, many children stopped to thank Max. Each “thank you” and “see you next week” chipped away at the sense of 9 he had felt since retiring. Hehadn't put out a fire today, but perhaps he had lighted something far more important—a new 10 for himself.1. A. volunteer B. writer C. builder D. fireman2.

Her parents had bought a house on a large plot of land near a gateway to Yosemite National Park. Benjamin could stay with them while she worked at a supermarket in town. He could run around in the hills. What she hadn’t quite accounted for, though, is how the hills are becoming hotter, drier and more dangerous.A year after they moved came the first of an annual series of wildfires, and an asthma diagnosis (哮喘诊断) for Benjamin. One year, they had to leave from their home for a few days. Another year, they bought air-conditioners so they could keep the windows shut when the air got thick an d smoky. This year, just as it seemed like Benjamin’s asthma was relieving, came the Creek Fire in the hills nearby. The air turned white with smoke. The boy had what appeared to be a mild asthma attack.Ms. Blake struggles to explain to him why he can’t be outside exploring. She worries when he goes to school. She wonders how much longer the family will be able to insure their home if rates climb higher —and what they’ll do if insurance becomes unavailable at any price. “It seems every year there’s some major fire,” Ms. Blake said. “We’re smoked out. It’s hard to breathe. It’s always a worry that you’re going to have to flee or you’re going to lose your home.” She said she had spent in the neighborhood of $1,000 this year to equip her home. “To protect my son of course I’m going to do that,” she said. “But it’s fundamentally unfair.”4. What can be learned from paragraph 1 and paragraph2?A. Benjamin likes living in San Francisco Bay AreaB. Benjamin didn’t have an asthma before moving.C. Ms. Blake stayed with her son while working.D. Ms. Blake could explain how the hills are becoming drier.5. Why did Ms. Blake buy air-conditioners?A. To help cure Benjamin’s asthma.B. To keep the air cool in hot summer.C. To keep the air drier in the house.D. To keep the windows shut when necessary.6. What is the direct factor to Benjamin’s asthma?A. Some dry brush and dead trees caused fire.B. Series of wildfires attacked his living area.C. The weather became hotter and drier.D. The air got thick and smoky in the San Francisco Bay Area.7. How did Ms. Blake feel about the series of wildfires?A. Anxious and angry.B. Concerned and confused.C. Unconcerned and uninterested.D. Positive and hopeful.CNext time you go on holiday, it’s going to feel pretty different. You may have to wear aface mask. And that means getting your point across in an unfamiliar language — all while keeping your mouth covered — could become a bit of a problem.That’s where the C-mask, by Japanese company Do nut Robotics, comes in. It’s a smart, Internet-connected mouth covering that can make calls, raise the wearer’s voice, and most helpfully for travelers, translate conversations into eight different languages.You simply place it over a standard face mask and connect it via Bluetooth to a smart phone. A special app will then allow you to record live conversations, turn them into text and translate them into English, Chinese, French, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish or Vietnamese (currently only from Japanese) — making it easy to understand what people are saying. It won’t actually speak the translated phrases for you, but it does have a built-in amplifier (扩音器) to help you make yourself heard.“We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used what we’ve researched to create a product that responds to how COVID-19 has reshaped society,” Donut’s CEO recently told reporters. The firm has already raised more than 28 million yen via crowdfunding to develop the product, which will go on sale for 3,980 yen in Japan.There are all manner of fashionable, eco-friendly masks you can now get your hands on —check out these in London, Singapore and Barcelona. But in creating an affordable, high-tech mask, Donut could well be on to something.8. The C-mask is developed to ________ .A. seek fashionB. reshape societyC. replace cellphonesD. promote communication9. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How the C-mask speaks.B. How the C-mask works.C. What advantages the C-mask brings.D. What languages the C-mask translates.10. What does the underlined phrase “be on to something” in the last paragraph mean?A. take a lookB. earn a livingC. make a differenceD. issue a warning11. In which column of a website do we probably read this text?A. Health.B. Tourism.C. Fashion.D. Technology.D“The pile of ice is so thick; it extends more than 10,000 feet above the ocean. And if all that ice were to melt and go into the ocean, global sea levels would rise by about 24 feet everywhere around the world.” said Jason Briner, a geologist who studies the ice sheet in Greenland at the University of Buffalo. The ice sheet of the biggest island in the world is melting, and the ice sheet that sits atop it is massive. The ice sheet is melting, of course. But just how much, compared to the past?Briner’s team did a computer simulation (模拟) of the southwest part of the Greenland ice sheet — which he says is a good indicator for ice melting across the entire ice sheet. The researchers plugged past climate data into that model to “hindcast,” rather than forecast, thepast activity of the ice sheet. They then checked the model’s predictions of the past shape and size of the ice sheet by looking at piles of rocks and dirt on Greenland today, which outline the edges of ancient ice. And the simulation was in good agreement with the actual situation.Using that reconstruction of the ice sheet over time, the team could compare the ice sheet’s historic losses to those happening today under human-caused global warming. And they determined that Greenland is on track to lose more ice this century than during any century in the past 12,000 years — possibly four times as much.Finally, it’s up to us how much ice actually melts. If the world goes net carbon zero by 2100, for example, Briner says ice loss could stop entirely at the end of the century, according to one model. “That was what kept me from being completely depressed about our study.”Dozens of countries have already announced goals to go net zero by the middle of this century — so far the U.S. is not one of them.12. What do we know about the Greenland ice sheet?A. It is as thick as over 10,000 feet.B. It is becoming smaller and smaller.C. It has raised sea levels by 24 feet.D. It is the largest ice sheet in the world.13. How did Briner’s team conduct their research?A. By modeling part of the ice sheet on computer.B. By doing a simulation of the whole ice sheet.C. By studying the ancient rocks and dirt.D. By forecasting the future climate change.14. What can we infer about the Greenland ice sheet in the last paragraph?A. Its status has already been acknowledged.B. Its growth can be improved by the model.C. The speed of its melting will be increasingly fast.D. The extent of its loss depends on human activities.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Rising Global Sea LevelsB. Climate Change is Speeding UpC. Greenland — the Biggest Island is MeltingD. Net Carbon Zero — a Global Goal by 2100第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was a magical idea to have it in my class. Every day after breaks, the class would gather around and listen to the story I was reading. When the kids were close, they found the courage to share their stories, dreams and fears. The chair was part of my job, part of me.Unfortunately, I became unwell and couldn’t keep teaching. I experienced severe depression and anxiety and was forced to leave the job. With my life as a teacher over, I needed a new path. And I didn’t have to look far.My husband and I adopted one of my former students in 2017. The arduous work of parenting a child who came to us at 9 years old changed our lives in unexpected ways. It called on the part of me that learns to be a good mother. We spent countless hours snuggling up (依偎) with books-healing, bonding and solidifying our family. This gave me a new purpose.I joined a support group of local moms. For about a year, I met with them weekly for walks or coffee.We came together to share. Then I started giving and receiving help. I gave driving practice to a single mom with her learner’s license and received emotional support in return. I also took her son on hikes around the city. Another woman encouraged me to buy a stand-up board and gave me lessons on surfing.My family, my books, finding a new purpose and belonging in a community — these are fulfilling the sense of self I used to prize as a teacher. I learned my identity doesn’t need to change. I’m still honoring those core values whether or not I’m working as a teacher.And what about that rocking chair? I looked back at the text message. My answer was no, I do not need the chair. I’ll let it go to a new teacher.41．What made the rocking chair special to the author?A．It had a magical effect on stories.B．It was a symbol of comfort.C．It was given by her former colleague.D．It represented her teacher identity. 42．According to the passage, the author adopted a former student to ________. A．realize her dream of being a parent.B．become a good teacher again. C．explore new possibilities in life.D．repay the student for his rocking chair. 43．What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Simple and dull.B．Challenging and tiring. C．Concrete and supportive.D．Lovely and pleasant.44．What did the author do in the support group?A．She gave lessons to children.B．She provided aid for people with depression.C．She gained knowledge in driving and sports.D．She offered and received support. 45．How does the author feel now?A．More confident than before.B．Equally content as before. C．Thrilled about her new life.D．Anxious to return to teaching.Imagine a tasty bug landing on the web of a hungry spider. How does the spider detect its prey? Spiders don’t have ears like we do, and many have poor eyesight. But they can sense vibrations, like those that happen when an unlucky insect touches their webs. And instead of eardrums, spiders hear using tiny, sensitive hairs that move in response to sounds.Scientists recently learned that spiders can pick up sounds in another way: through their webs. “It’s basically using the web as the ear,” said Ron Miles, a professor of mechanical engineering at Binghamton University in New York.Miles and his team studied orb-weaving spiders, which make wheel-shaped webs. The scientists placed the spiders in a specially designed quiet room. Then they played sounds on a loudspeaker. They tracked how the spiders reacted to different sounds played on a loudspeaker.The spiders turned their bodies toward the sound. Some crouched (蹲伏) and stretched. Others raised their front legs. The scientists said this suggested that the spiders knew where the sounds came from.Miles said that spiders use their web like a giant extended ear. If an insect is flying nearby, for instance, “that’s going to cause the web to vibrate because of the sound,” Miles said. “That kind of gets the spider’s attention.”Spiders might even use their webs to tune in to a variety of sounds. Miles said they suspect that the spider is able to adjust the web’s tension, or how tightly they stretch the web. This way, it can pick up certain types of sounds.Miles hopes the research on spiders will help us find better ways to detect sound. Most microphones today work by sensing pressure and turning it into an electronic signal. But in the natural world, “spiders aren’t sensing pressure”.Miles said: “Most animals don’t hear that way; they sense the motion of the air.” Future microphones, like those used in hearing aids, could someday have a design like this in mind.The next time you see a spider, Miles suggested, watch how it reacts to sounds, like your footsteps — though what those noises mean to the spider remains somewhat of a mystery. “Spiders don’t have good facial expressions,” Miles laughed. “It’s hard to read them.”46．Spiders know an insect lands on their web by ________.A．seeing it trying to escape the web B．sensing the motion it makesC．using its ears to hear it moving D．growing tiny hairs to find it47．Scientists play sounds on loudspeakers in the experiment to ________.A．observe how the spiders would react B．assist the spiders in catching their prey C．encourage the spiders to build new webs D．protect people from spiders48．Why do spiders need to use their webs like a giant ear?A．It keeps them safe from dangerous animals.B．It shows them when they need a new web.C．It helps them detect insects flying nearby.D．It lets them communicate with other spiders.49．Spiders adjust the tension in their webs to ________.A．block out sounds that scare away insects B．help them pick up certain types of sounds C．allow them to make sounds that attract prey D．make sounds that get other spiders’ attention50．What does Miles believe is the significance of studying spiders?A．It could lead to hearing aids that sense pressure.B．It shows that even small animals can make noise.C．It could allow people to sense the force created by sounds.D．It could result in microphones that sense the motion of air.“If you were bored, it wasn’t because there was nothing to do. It was because you hadn’t put enough effort into.” That was my Mum’s philosophy. Boredom has become trendy.Some new studies show how boredom is good for creativity and innovation, as well as mental health. It is found that people were more creative following the completion of a boring and dull task. When people are bored, they have an increase in “associative thought”—the process of making new connections between ideas, which is linked to innovative thinking. These studies are impressive, but in reality, the benefits of boredom may be related to having time to clear your mind, be quiet or daydream.In our world, it seems unrealistic that boredom could occur at all. Yet, there are valid reasons boredom may feel so painful. As it turns out, boredom might signal the fact that you have a need that isn’t being met. Our always-on world of social media may result in more connections, but they are superficial (表面的) and can get in the way of building a real sense of belonging. Feeling bored may signal the desire for a greater sense of community and the feeling that you fit in with others around you. So take the step of joining an organization tobuild face-to-face relationships. You’ll find depth that you won’t get from your screen no matter how many likes you get on your post.Bored people often report that they feel a limited sense of meaning. If you want to reduce boredom and increase your sense of meaning, seek work where you can make a unique contribution, or find a cause you can support with your time and talent. If your definition of boredom is being quiet, mindful, and reflective, keep it up. But if you’re struggling with real boredom and the emptiness it provokes, consider whether you might seek new connections and more significant challenges. These are the things that will genuinely ease boredom and make you more effective in the process.51．What was the opinion of the author’s mom towards boredom?A．She thought it a philosophical question.B．She considered her life was boring.C．She believed it indicates having too much energy.D．She thought less effort led to boredom.52．What have studies found about boredom?A．It boosts innovative thinking.B．It is a result of doing boring tasks.C．It helps people connect with others.D．It does harm to one’s mental health.53．What do we learn about social media from the passage?A．It may be a barrier to expanding one’s connections.B．It may get in the way of enhancing one’s social status.C．It may prevent people from developing a genuine sense of community.D．It may make people feel that they ought to fit in with the outside world.54．What does the author suggest people do to get rid of boredom?A．Count the likes they get on their posts.B．Reflect on how they relate to others.C．Engage in real-life interactions.D．Participate in online discussions.55．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．The importance of doing something original.B．Strategies on dealing with boredom.C．Ways to increase the meaning of life.D．The distinction between two types of boredom.四、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
