At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru, came up with the creative idea of an eco﹣bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment．Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world's first cooperative bank for kids． Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms （11 pounds） of solid waste （paper or plastic） and establish a savings goal． Once accepted, all bank "partners" are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram （2*2 pounds） of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops． The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher﹣than﹣market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members． The funds received are placed in the individual's account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached． The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target．"At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project, " Jose recalls． "They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present． Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom．The youngster's persistence paid off． Today, the eco﹣bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru． On November 20, 2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Children's Climate Prize （CCP）． "Jose's eco﹣bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in thought and practice． The potential impact is amazing", a judge said．Hopefully, Jose's success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment． As the boy says, "Together we can change the world． we just need an opportunity．"（1）For what purpose was the eco﹣bank created？________A To educate children how to spend their allowances．B To help children break away from their parents．C To raise children's awareness of money andenvironment D To encourage children to buy whatever they want．．（2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？________A The history of the eco﹣bankB The requirements of membership，C The wisest way to deal with wasteD The process of how the eco﹣bank works．．（3）What challenge did Jose meet at the beginning when opening the eco﹣bank？________ A Lack of enough support B Lack of experience C Lack of investment D Lack of workers．（4）What can we learn from the last two Paragraphs？________A The boy's efforts were made in vain．B The eco﹣bank was highly appreciated．C The judge thought poorly of the eco﹣bank．D The boy's success had no practical values．．（5）What can be a suitable title for the text？________A Persistence Paid OffB Recycling does CountC An Opportunity to Change the World．D An Eco﹣bank， Economical and Ecological．19. Hacking isn’t just for computers and smart phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant’s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants′genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant’s genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the pl ant’s protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.The new study sped up the process by changing the plant’s genes, the protective systemturned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice. Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study makes sense, but cautioned the yield （产量）might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. Still, she added in an email,“this study remains a breakthrough,”（1）Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 1 ?A We can find hacking only in digital devices.B A plant’s genes can be changed by hacking.C Hacking has been used in improving food production.D Hacking can be used to change whatever you want.（2）Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study?A Because they are very easy to get.B Because their genes are easy tochange. C Because they are larger than other plants. D Because they can absorb sunlight quickly.（3）What do we know about photosynthesis?A It helps plants to produce energy.B It is regarded as a productive system for plants.C It can increase leaf growth on plants by 14 percent.D It is made up of sunlight，water and carbon dioxide.（4）We can learn from Paragraph 4 that changing the plants’ genes proved ________.A uselessB deadlyC effectiveD unrealistic（5）What is Tala Awanda’s attitude toward the study?A Doubtful.B Neutral.C Objective.D Critical.20. Being attractive isn________t usually considered much of a disadvantage in today's world． Actually, there is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge securing yourself a boring, low﹣ paying job．This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process． For the most part good looks is a blessing． We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions． The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs．Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the realworld． Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive． Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a less﹣than﹣desirable job．The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, projectdirector, IT elite（精英）．In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job．Ms Lee said, "In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive individual over the attractive individual． Co﹣author Dr Madan Pillutla said, "It is interesting that decision makers consider others' opinions in their decisions． They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job．"The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high﹣level jobs．（1）What do people generally think of being attractive？________A It is a disadvantage．B It is a blessing．C it is not important．D It has nothing to do with jobs．．（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？________A The participants of the experimentB The importance of the experimentC The process of the experimentD The result of the experiment．．（3）An ordinary﹣looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for________．A a managerB a project directorC a warehouse workerD an IT elite．（4）Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs？________A Because they are more hardworking．B Because they will be moresatisfied． C Because they have no requirements at all． D Because they will want better outcomes．．（5）Which of the following agrees with the research？________A Attractive people are more fit for high﹣level jobs．B Less attractive people are easy to find high﹣level jobs．C Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs．D Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard．四、阅读表达21.At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes.

In an open letter published on Tuesday, Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the world's population.Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and had made life easier for millions of people. Actually, it also has offered opportunities to groups traditionally not heard a new voice in society. However, he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to commit crimes (犯罪).“Against the background of news stories about how the web is misused, it's understandable that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good,” he wrote.Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation. He islooking for help from governments, companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans. His actual plan is called the “Contract (合同) for the Web”.Under this contract, governments are called on to take steps to makesure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected. Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web. In addition, companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that is rich, quality information for everyone. Besides, people should seek to “build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality.” “The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,” Bermers-Lee added, “Making big changes will not be easy, but will be very well worth it in the end.”4. What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web?A. It is his greatest regret.B. It stops the progress of humans.C. It needs improving.D. It does more harm than good.5. What's wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee?A. It is misused for bad purposes.B. It is misunderstood by all people.C. It blocks out a new voice in society.D. It is expensive for half the world’s population.6. What are governments called on to do under the “Contract for the Web”?A. Put technology first.B. Create materials for the web.C. Popularize the Internet.D. Make the Internet free of charge.7. What should people do with the Internet in Berners-Lee's opinion?A. Be responsible for it.B. Absolutely reject it.C. Completely rely on it.D. Be unconcerned about it.CYellowstoneNational ParkbecameAmerica's first national park in 1872. The National Park Service was formed 44 years later in 1916.Yellowstone, which is mostly in the state of Wyoming, is considered an example of the success of the National Park System.Humans have been present in Yellowstone for more than 11,000 years.Yellowstone contains beautiful mountains, deep canyons(峡谷), lakes and rivers.The nameYellowstonecomes from the river running through the area. At first known as Rock Yellow River, it became known as theYellowstoneRiver.Yellowstoneis host to many different species of plants. However, the park is most distinctive because of what lies underneath it. It sits on top of an ancient super volcano, known as The Yellowstone Caldera. The caldera is 48 by 72 kilometers. And it remains an active volcano.It is believed that the last time the volcano erupted was one half million years ago. The area has had three major eruptions in the last three million years.Experts say it may erupt again in another 1,000 to 10,000 years. But each year, there are thousands of earthquakes atYellowstone. Most are too small to be felt by people visiting the park.Yellowstoneis filled with the beauty of many hot water springs. hot water and gasses are trapped under the earth. they rush to the surface in the form of hot water and steam.Old Faithful is The most famous one .Iterupts about every hour or hour and a half. The eruption can last from one and a half minutes up to 5 minutes. The amount of hot water it expels（排出）in that time can be as much as 31,000 liters or more.In addition to its beauty and wonder, Yellowstone is an animal sanctuary（保护区）. It is home to the largest group of wild animals in theUnited States. As you travel through the park, you can sometimes see them in their natural habitat and hear their calls .8. What wasYellowstonenamed after?A. RockYellow RiverB. The amazing mountains.C. The stones with yellow color1D. The first discovery inwyoming.9. What makesYellowstonequite unique?A. The scenery is beautiful.B. There are a lot of explorers.C. It’s home to many plants.D. Its location is very special.10. What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The earth.B. Yellowstone.C.Old Faithful.D. TheYellowstoneCaldera.11. What can we infer from the text?A. The Yellowstone Caldera has been dead for years.B. Yellowstone is a shelter for the protected wildlife.C. Big earthquakes happen frequently atYellowstone.D.YellowstoneNational Parkhas attracted visitors for centuries.DThe world's largest iceberg is floating toward South Georgia in the southernAtlantic Ocean. Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins and seals. If the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies.The huge iceberg is named A68a. It broke away fromAntarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2017. Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece. It is estimated to be about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide. It is traveling at one kilometer per hour and is on a path to hitSouth Georgiain around 30 days.This is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. The distance that parents have to travel to find food is crucial. That means they have to go a lot further or go around the iceberg to find sources of food.Ecologists say an iceberg crash would also disturb materials settled on the seabed, possibly polluting the surrounding seas. As the iceberg melts, it would also release large amounts of fresh water into the ocean. This could affect krill（磷虾）populations that are a major source of food for the island's wildlife. The iceberg could remain for up to 10 years and change the area's whole ecosystem. These are globally significant populations of these species. If these species fail in this particular area, then the numbers globally are going to go down quite dramatically.Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist at the British Antarctic Survey, said, "The breaking off of icebergs fromAntarcticais a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. What we're seeing with models and some observations now is that this is happening at an increasing rate. And so, this might becomemore of a usual thing in the future."12. Why are the scientists worried about the coming iceberg crash?A. It will bring extremely cold weather.B. It will destroy the feeding areas of the animals.C. It will put wildlife on the island at risk of starving.D. It will prevent animals from moving to other places.13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The characteristic of the iceberg.B. The importance of the iceberg.C. The traveling speed of the iceberg.D. The forming process of the iceberg.14. What damage can an iceberg crash bring according to paragraph 4?A. Using up much fresh water.B. Polluting the surrounding farms.C. Changing the world's ecosystem.D. Affecting the number of certain species.15. How does Tarling think of the breaking off of icebergs fromAntarctica?A. It may slow down in the near future.B. It may become common in the future.C. It has a great influence on the climate.D. It helps scientists conduct a sea study.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

And the noisy situation and endless housework may result in a terrible emotion. A new option is waiting foryou. That is WFH: work from a hotel.Hotel FigueroA special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero’s 268 rooms as day-use offices.According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity to get out of their houses with high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking. The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 129 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 20.The WytheA boutique hotel in Brooklyn. The hotel recently announced a partnership with co-working office space company Industrious through which it is recycling 13 second-story guest rooms to serve as offices for up to four people.Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome. Pricing starts at $ 200 and goes up to $ 275, depending on how many people use the space.The SawyerThe Sawyer, in Sacramento, California, is offering pool cabanas (更衣室) for use as outdoor offices, complete with fast Wi-Fi, free parking and catered lunch for $ 150 per day.HotelsByDayYannis Moati founded HotelsByDay back in 2015. That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.Moati said the current situation will force hotels to upgrade themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.1.How much should one pay for a 24-hour stay in Hotel Figuero?A.$ 129.B.$ 149.C.$ 150.D.$ 200.2.Which hotel allows pets in?A.The Wythe.B.The Sawyer.C.HotelsByDay.D.Hotel Figuero.3.What do we know about Yannis Moati?A.He started a program titledWork Perks.B.He has upgraded at least 1,500 rooms.C.He usually predicts everything correctly.D.He is optimistic about the WFH trend.BThe mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance ofUniversityofQueenslandwildliferesearch released today.The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events.A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying the responses of various species.“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones, droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr Maxwell said.“Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”"Populations of critically endangered bird species inHawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in theBahamas."Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals.Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities.UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help inform ecosystem management.“The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watson said.“As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common,we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive.Wherever possible, high quality and intacthabitat areas should be retained, as these are the places where species are most resilient(易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events.”4. How was the UQ researchconducted?A. By observing extreme weather events.B. By protecting the endangered species.C. By recording reactions of animals to extreme climate.D. By analyzing the reason whymass animal death happened.5. What does the underlined word “annihilated” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. destroyedB. defeatedC. decreasedD. disappeared6. Which of the following sentences is true about extreme weather events?A. Drought caused 13 cases of distinctionin bird populations.B. Drought caused 12 cases of population decline in mammals.C. Birds and mammals are most responsive to cyclones.D. Cyclones wiped out populations of lizard.7. What can we infer from Professor Watson’s words?A. Animals often show negative responses to extreme events.B. The existing management ways for wildlife protection are limited.C. Different methods should be adopted to ensure the survival of different species.D. Complete and undamaged habitats are of great importance to species’ survival.CGlobal food demand will double by 2050, according to a new projection, and the farming techniques used to meet that unprecedented(空前的) demand will significantly determine how severe the impact is on the environment, researchers said.The study researchers warned that meeting the demand for food would clear more land, increase nitrogen(氮) use and significantly add to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.“Agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions could double by2050 if current trends in global food production continue,” study researcher David Tilman, of theUniversityofMinnesota, said in a statement. “This would be a major problem, since global agriculture already accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions.”The researchers studied various ways in which the increasing food demand could be mentioned. They foundthat the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach would be for more food producers to adopt the nitrogen-efficient “intensive” farming method, which involves the heavy use of labor and the production of more crops per acre.This approach was shown to be more effective than the “extensive” farming currently practiced by many poor nations, a method that includes clearing more new land to produce more food.Different farming methods produce significantly different yields, the researchers found — in 2005, the crop yields for the wealthiest nations were more than 300 percent higher than what the poorest nations produced.According to their analysis of the effects of extensive farming, if poorer nations continue using this method, by 2050theywill have cleared an area larger than theUnited States, about 2.5 billion acres. However, if wealthy nations help poorer nations to improve food yields by incorporating(吸收) intensive farming practices, that number could be reduced to half a billion acres.The researchers stress that the environmental effects of meeting future food demand depend on how global agriculture expands and develops.“Our analyses show that we cansave most of the Earth’s remaining ecosystems by helping the poorer nations of the world feed themselves,” Tilman said.8. What is the best title of this passage?A. The World Will Need Double Food by 2050B. Man Will Face the Risk of Lacking Food in the FutureC. Future Farmers Hold Environment’s Fate in Their HandsD. Different Farming Methods Produce Significantly Different Yields9. The character of the extensive farming is ________.A. very cost-effectiveB. to produce more crops per acreC. at cost of more new land to produce more foodD. very environmentally friendly10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. poorer nations mainly use the intensive farmingB. wealthy nations mainly use the extensive farmingC. the intensive farming needs less food producersD. the extensive farming has a worse effect on ecosystems11. According to the passage, the underlined word “they” in the 7th paragraph refers to “________”.A. poorer nationsB. the effects of extensive farmingC. wealthy nationsD.future food demandDWilliam had worked hard to pass the exams to enter high school. When the term began, however, his father told him that there was no money to pay for his school fees because of the summer drought. Still, William wanted to learn.He made the village library his school. One day, he found a book calledUsing Energy. On the book’s cover was a picture of windmills, tall steel towers with blades (叶片) spinning like giant fans. He learned that wind—something of which his hometown had plenty—could produce electricity.He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind, but collecting the parts and tools he needed would take months. In a junkyard, he dug through piles of used metal, old cars, and worn-out tractors, searching for anything that might help him construct his machine. He made four-foot-long blades from plastic pipe, which he melted over a fire, flattened out, and hardened with bamboo poles.Earning some money, he paid a blacksmith to attach the piston (活塞) to the pedal sprocket (踏板链轮) of an old bicycle frame. This would be the axle (轮轴) of the windmill. When the wind blew, the spinning blades would turn the bicycle wheel and spin a small dynamo (发电机), donated by his friend.When he had collected all the parts, William began putting them together. He fixed the blades to the tractor fan he found, using washers (垫圈) he’d made from bottle caps. Next he pushed the fan onto the piston joint to the bicycle frame. With the help of his two best friends, Williambuilt a 16-foot-tall tower from trunks of trees and lifted the ninety-pound windmill to the top.The big moments eventually came. He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb. As the wind whipped around him, the blades began to turn, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The light bulb flickered (闪烁), then flashed to life. The crowd cheered from below. “Wachitabwina (well done)!”William’s machine now powered his house. And the story of the boy who’d built a power-generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet.12. After readingUsing Energy, what did William decide to do?A. Make use of wind.B. Enter a high school.C. Build a village library.D. Learn to survive a drought.13. According to Para.3, which of the following word can best describe William?A. Humorous.B. Determined.C. Cooperative.D. Friendly.14. What can you learn about William’s machine?A. It was built by villagers.B. It worked at the first attempt.C. It took him years to complete it.D. It was made from metal materials.15. What is the besttitle for the passage?A. Winds Of HopeB. Ideas Worth SpreadingC. Learning from ExperienceD.

Jenny was to blame for the terrible car accidentD. Jenny was late for his piano lessons for this accidentCTiny as they are，bats have the ability to "see" in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation （回声定位法）．They make noises and wait for sound waves，or an echo，to bounce （反弹）back off objects．They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back off them．If no sound bounces back，they can then fly forward．This special ability has been simulated in the human world for a long time，such as in submarines and planes，whose sonar （声呐）systems are somewhat similar to echolocation．But apart from helping vehicles "see" where they are，what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves？It turns out，some already are．American Daniel Kish，who is blind，is known as "Batman"．This isn't because he walks around in a cape （披风）and a mask，but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth．Kish is so skilled at echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own．Recently，research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed （揭示）some light on the power of human echolocation．Kish worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks．The team，which conducted experiments with other volunteers，found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes，ones far fainter than had been previously thought．Speaking to The Independent，Lore Thaler，lead scientist of the group，said，"We found that in some conditions，they were really faint - about 95 percent softer than the actual clicks，but the echolocators were still able to sense this．"Andrew Kolarik of the University of Cambridge is another expert in echolocation．Reacting to the Durham study，he told BBC News that echolocation "can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height" and could help people "avoid objects like low hanging branches that might not get detected by the cane （盲杖）or a guide dog"．Although Kish's skill is remarkable，there's hope for other blind people who want to use echolocation．According to BBC News，echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop，just like learning a language．As Kolarik said："Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places．"26.The underlined word "simulated" in Paragraph 2 probably means ______ ．A. copiedB. discoveredC. improvedD. challenged27.How does Kish locate where he is______A. By using his great sense of hearingB. By listening to the echoes produced by his cane．C. Via the sonar system attached to his body．D. Via the echoes from the clicks he makes with his tongue．28.What did Lore Thaler's team find from their studies______A. It is hard for echolocators to sense faint echoes．B. Humans can echolocate better than we thought we could．C. Echolocators can pick up all types of echoes．D. Blind people are better echolocators than those who can see．29.According to the article，teaching echolocation to blind people ______ ．A. is not easy to put into practiceB. will enable them to get rid of their caneC. will open up new possibilities for themD. will improve their ability to learn a new language30.What is the article mainly about______A. Different types of human echolocation．B. The importance of human echolocation．C. Studies on blind people using echolocation．D. Why bats' echolocation could be used by humans．DAs we all know，the war is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years．It was always evil and usually foolish，but in the past the human race managed to live with it．Modern skill has changed this．Either man will stop war，or war will stop man．For the present，it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger，but bacteriological（细菌学的）or chemical weapons may，before long，offer an even greater threat．Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war If we succeeded in stopping war，there would be no danger for us．To do this，we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way，not by contests of force，in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre（大屠杀），but by arbitration（仲裁）in accordance with agreed principles of law．It is not easy to change old mental habits，but this is what must be attempted．There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology（意识形态）would prevent war．I believe this to be a complete error．All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are，at least，doubtful，and at worst，totally false．Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them．The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome．It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided．Of course，very difficult problems remain in the international world，but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago．It has begun to be thought，even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die，that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory．It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West，but between Man and the Hi-tech bomb．31.What can we learn from the first paragraph______A. We may face greater threat from weapons．B. Nuclear weapons are worst of all．C. Man's idea of victory has changed．D. Dangerous weapons are forbidden nowadays．32.The author of the passage believe that ______ ．A. it is impossible to live without warB. differences between East and West will lead to warC. war will be stopped by modern skillD. war must be stopped if man wants to survive33.Which is the only way to stop war according to the author？______A. To stop nuclear weapons．B. To settle international issues through agreements．C. To destroy bacteriological and chemical weapons．D.

Originally四、阅读表达（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）56."Where are you going to college？" "I'm going to my local community college．" My answer seemed to be themagic phrase that would wipe the smile right off many people's faces．It's clear that people have a lot of misconceptions（误解）about community colleges．Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn't get into a four-year school．But it is not true．In high school，I always got A's．But when it came to applying to colleges，I had no idea whatI wanted to major in and couldn't justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what Iwanted to do．My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college．Some people will ask，"Since the community college is cheaper，will you get a good education？" I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges．My professors were knowledgeable and experienced，and I found many of the courses challenging．Some people think if I attend the community college，I will miss out on the "college experience"．I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college．But I soon learned that the community college，just like any other college，is what you make of it．I strived to make the most of my time at the community college．I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings．I took a lot of different courses．I had an amazing professor who suggested I take her journalism class．Neverhaving written for my high school newspapers，I dared not take it，but since she was so enthusiastic，I eventually decided to have a try．That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist．I look forward to graduating this May to pursue a career in broadcast journalism．Community colleges may notbe for everyone，but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become．What was the author's parents' attitude towards his/her decision about attending the community college（no more than 5 words）______What does the underlined part "miss out on" in Paragraph 4 mean（1 word）______How did the author make friends at community college？（no more than 12 words）______Why daren't the author take the journalism class at first（no more than 12 words）______In your opinion，what kind of effect does attending the community college have on the author？（no more than 15 words）______五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）57.假设你应邀参加学校组织的"英语学习师生座谈会"，请你根据下表所提示的信息，用英语写一篇发言稿，简单介绍自己英语学习的情况，并对学校今后的英语教学提出建议．注意：（1）对所给要点逐一陈述，适当发挥，不要简单翻译．（2）词数150左右．开头和结尾已经写好，不计人总词数．Dear teacher and schoolmates，It's a great pleasure for me to be today and share myexperience of learning English with you．______Thank you for listening．答案和解析1.【答案】A【解析】答案：A．考查交际用语．句意；真让人惊讶！我成功地开了我自己的网店！""瞧，就是这样！我跟你说过这是很容易的事．"There you are"这就行了，就是这样"．故选：A．--真让人惊讶！我成功地开了我自己的网店！--瞧，就是这样！我跟你说过这是很容易的事．英语口语交际并不是一个简单的过程，它需要交际者本身具有多方面的能力和知识水平及其它内在因素，社会关系至关重要，所谓语言用得得体与否，不仅指语音、词汇、语法包括语言本身是否无误，而且指是否适应它的社会环境．2.【答案】A【解析】答案：A考查动词短语．根据句子结构分析，此处动词和主语是主动关系，compare with同类比较，compare to比喻，比作，根据选项分析，故选：A．莉莉在她的研究工作做得很好，尤其是数学和英语．我们班上没有人能比得上她根据句子大意，分析句子结构，注意动词短语词意和用法辨析，最后得出最佳答案．3.【答案】B【解析】略4.【答案】A【解析】答案A．"needn't"没必要，不需要；"mustn't"禁止；"wouldn't"不愿意；"shouldn't"不应该．根据句意，周六和周日"不需要"早起，故选：A．我喜欢周末，因为周六和周日我不需要早起．本题考查情态动词，要掌握情态动词的用法并结合具体的语境选择出正确的选项．5.【答案】C【解析】略6.【答案】B【解析】略7.【答案】D【解析】略8.【答案】C【解析】略9.【答案】A【解析】略10.【答案】A【解析】略11.【答案】A【解析】略12.【答案】B【解析】答案是B．考查时态，因为时间是When I was in Sydney，当我在悉尼的时候，是过去时，所以在悉尼的时候去过两次歌剧院也要用过去时，故选：B．-你参观过歌剧院吗？--是，当我在悉尼的时候，我去过两次．高考题目对时态的考查是重点，谓语动词要与时间状语保持一致，时态与时间是密不可分的，各种时态却要受到时间和语言环境的限制，根据题干提供的时间或者时间状语体现的时间来判断句子的时态是最直接的解题方法，扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解至关重要．13.【答案】B【解析】分析句子的意思可知，该句表达的是对过去事实的一种委婉的猜测，所以使用might have done 在作句子的谓语部分．故选：B．很抱歉我没有按时完成任务．要是有更好的设备，我或许就能按时完成了．在掌握虚拟语气的规则的基础上，判断题干属于什么类型的虚拟，然后根据语境，选用恰当的动词形式表达虚拟．14.【答案】A【解析】答案A．考查介词短语用法．along with同…一道；next to 在…近旁；在隔壁；次于；regardless of 忽视，不理睬；far from表示距离的远离；远远不，完全不，决不，后跟名词，动名词或形容词．此处句意为：艺术展决不是一个失败，而是一个巨大的成功，可知选A符合句意．故选：A．艺术展决不是一个失败，而是一个巨大的成功．考查介词短语的题，熟记短语的意思，将选项分别代入题干进行确定．15.【答案】D【解析】答案为D当否定副词或具有否定含义的短语置于句首时，句子常用部分倒装．故本题要用部分倒装．再根据would come to…可知，是在讲过去发生的事，故用过去时．故选：D．这个男孩说：男孩说他一刻也没怀疑过他父亲会来救他．部分倒装，部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态动词倒装至主语之前．如果句中没有谓语，就用助动词或情态动词．否定意义的词放句首用部分倒装英语中构成部分倒装的主要情形有：1．含否定意义的词（如never，hardly，seldom，little，few，not until，not，not only，no sooner，no longer，nowhere，by no means 等）置于句首时，其后用部分倒装．如：Never have I seen read such a book．我从未读过那样的书．2．only 加状语（副词/介词短语/从句）放在句首时，其后用部分倒装．如：Only in this way can you do it well．只有这样你才能做好．3．so/neither/nor 表示前面所说的情况也适合于后者时，用"so/neither/nor+助动词+主语"这样的倒装句式．如：He can sing English songs and so can I．他会唱英语歌，我也会．4．当虚拟条件句含有were，should，had 时，可省略if，将were，should，had 置于句首．如：Were I Tom（=If I were Tom），I would refuse．如果我是汤姆，我就会拒绝．5．so…that 结构中，将so+adj．/adv．置于句首时，其后要用倒装语序．如：So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home．天气太冷，我们只好呆在家里．16.【答案】略【解析】-40

For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything—to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong mottos, but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents "a victory of 'form' over 'content', 'beauty' over 'morals' ".By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist（感觉论者）, but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed（被压抑的）personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But What made her achieve lasting fame was a tireless, all-purpose cultural view."Sometimes, " she once said, "I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending…is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness." And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.(1) It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag.A. was a symbol of American cultural lifeB. developed world literature, film and artsC. published many essays about world cultureD. kept pace with the newest development of world culture(2) She first won her name through.A. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan ReviewB. her story of a Polish actressC. her explanation of a set of difficult understandingsD. her book Illness as Metaphor(3) From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learnthat.A. she was more a moralist than a sensualistB. she was more a sensualist than a moralistC. she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illnessD. she would like to re-examine old positions(4) According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except.A. we should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and artB. Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities.C. 'Form' should be over 'content', 'beauty' should be over 'morals'D. We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness(5) What is the passage mainly about?A. A lifelong motto: seriousness.B. Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture.C.

Scientists have discovered how microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone（石灰石）, with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.Researchers have found that when the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi（霉菌）and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root.The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from the earth with$$\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}$$ from the atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees' leaves and in the form of limestone, the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable for agriculture.The discovery could lead to reforestation（重新造林）projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India.The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft University of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking $$\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}$$ as limestone, and the lroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work was funded by the European Commission under the Future & Emerging Technologies （FET） scheme.Dr. Bryne Ngwenya of the Universiy of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences, who led the research, said, "By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe, readilyemployed and easily operating way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries."(1) The passage is mainly introducing.A. some useful natural fungi and bacteriaB. a new way to deal with greenhouse gasC. a newly-found tree in West AfricaD. the soil-enriching limestone created by scientists(2) Which of the following is True about tiny microbes?A. Most tiny microbes like living in dry, acidic soil.B. $$\text{CO}_2$$ can be broken down by natural fungi and bacteria.C. The more greenhouse gas is, the more active tiny microbes become.D. Tiny microbes get along well with the Iroko tree in special soil.(3) What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Carbon dioxide.B. Carbon.C. Soil.D. Limestone.(4) According to the passage, what can we infer?A. The action of the tiny microbes can increase the oxygen in the earth.B. Researchers have done the experiment on trees in Africa for three years.C. Researchers tend to use natural power to solve their problem.D. West Africa is one of the most polluted areas all over the world.(5) According to the passage, the Iroko-bacteria method.A. can be used to improve the farming landB. can save a lot of seriously destroyed woodsC. has been popularized in Bolivia, Haiti and IndiaD. should be spread all around the world in the future20、【来源】 2019年天津高三二模十二校联考（D篇）第51~55题12.5分For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choice based on the recipient（接受者）. But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier?In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Akain conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient's personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.But Human and Akain wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother's Day. Half were told to buy a card that "reveals（揭示）your knowledge of the recipient" while the others set out to buy a card that "reveals your true self". After the purchase, the gives who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on Tunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to TAL#NBSP them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. "If building stronger social connections is the underlying（潜在的）goal"of a gift and surely it should be—then we "may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts". In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient's practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safe act, the psychologists added. Because it reduced the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing.But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic give-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin "could signal self-obsession" —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.(1) From the Mother's Day card test, we can conclude that.A. gifts chosen with the give in mind work well on the giverB. most people choose gifts with the recipient in mindC. most people choose gifts based on their personal tastesD. gifts chosen with the give in mind work well on the recipient(2) What do the underlined words "them, them" refer to in older of appearance?A. The recipients; the givers.B. The givers; the recipients.C. The gives; the givers.D. The recipients; the recipients.(3) What does the author think is the significance of gift giving?A. Making the giver's life happier.B. Showing one's knowledge of the recipient.C. Establishing and strengthening social connections.D. meeting the recipient's practical needs.(4) Which of the following is Human and Aknin's advice on gift giving?A. Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself.B. Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts.C. Buy something that fits the recipient's character most.D. Be careful not to signal your true personality.(5) Which is the best title of this passage?A. The tradition of gift giving.B. The purpose of gift giving.C. The effect of gift giving.D. The psychology of gift giving.三、写作（共两节，共35分）第一节、阅读表达（每小题2分，共10分）21、【来源】 2019年天津高三二模十二校联考第56~60题10分2018~2019学年天津河西区高二下学期期末第66~70题10分(每题2分)Tim Haris, a young man with Down's symdrome（唐氏综合症）, hasn't let his disability stop him from opening a restaurant in New Mexico.Tim's Place, a restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serves up traditional diner favorites such as blueberry pancakes, bacon, eggs, and cheeseburgers—all with hugs.
