Unit5 阅读真题[课标全国Ⅲ2020·B篇]When “Rise of the planet of the Apes” was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren’t there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers: “Thanks for not using real apes(猿)!”The creative team behind “Apes” used motion-capture(动作捕捉)technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image(图像).In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2, 000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including “Water for Elephants,” “The Hangover PartⅡ” and “Zookeeper,” have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the states, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.1. Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?A. To see famous film stars.B. To oppose wearing fur coats.C. To raise money for animal protection.D. To express thanks to some filmmakers.2. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The cost of making “Apes.”B. The creation of digitalized apes.C. The publicity about “Apes.”D. The performance of real apes.3. What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Listing completely.B. Directing professionally.C. Promoting successfully.D. Watching carefully.4. What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?A. They may be badly treated.B. They should take further training.C. They could be traded illegally.D. They would lose popularity.【语篇导读】本文通过电影《猩球崛起》中使用数字化制作的动物图像而非真实动物开篇,介绍了动物保护支持者们对动物演员们处境的关注。
必修五Module 1British and American English(建议用时25分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·岳阳阶段考试)As is known to all,colors appear in every language to express people’s feeling and thoughts.Then,what is the situation in American English?Red is a hot color.Americans may say they are red hot about something unfair.They are red hot when they are very angry about something.The small hot-tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hot for their color and their fiery taste.Fast loud music is popular with many people.They may say the music is red hot,especially the kind called Dixieland Jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red.People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health.The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century.It comes from the fact that many babies are born with nice pink skin that shows that they are in good health.The color black is often used in expressions.People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day.People or things on a blacklist are connected with things illegal now.But at one time,some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.The color green is natural for trees and grass.But it is an unnatural color for humans.A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green.A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has.That person may say he is green with envy.Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks.Dollars are called greenbacks because green is the color of the back side of the paper money.[语篇解读]本文描述美国英语中用颜色来表达人们的心情和想法。

课时规范练25(必修5Module1)Ⅰ.阅读理解British English may have come first,but around the world,the American way of spelling is now far more popular.A recent examination of the English language shows that publications now largely use the American version swapping words like “centre” for “center” after the 1880s.To get data,researchers used Google’s Ngram Viewer to analyze the words found in all English-language publications from 1800 to 2000.Entering a word into the viewer will show how frequently it occurs within the massive corpus(语料库) of books around the world.According to the data,this shift was further strengthened around World War Ⅰ.Sincethen,English-language publications have preferred “gray” and “flavor” instead of “grey” and “flavour”.The American spelling has continued to grow over the years,with “liter” passing “litre”around 1900,and “center” becoming the more common choice over “centre” in 1913.“1913 marked a turning point in British spelling,as the American alternative became more frequently used in literature,”the post explains,in regard to “center”.This was just a year before the beginning of World WarⅠ,which many views as a key period in America’s rise to superpower status.Though this switched again between 1920s and the late 1930s,the American spelling took over for good around 1940,during which time the spelling “airplane” shifted dramatically over “aeroplane”.Ever since the middle of the 19th century,even the British Isles have slowly rejected the old spelling.The future is gray for British English.1.Which of the following is true?A.American spelling takes over all the time.B.British people refuse to use American spelling.C.All the media prefer American spelling.D.The change in spelling is more obvious around World War Ⅰ.2.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?A.The popularity of American spelling.B.The examples of the change in spelling.C.The history of English spelling.D.The reason for the change in English spelling.3.The passage is developed .A.by spaceB.by timeC.by processD.by logic4.The passage is written to .A.introduce the change of English spellingB.encourage the change in English spellingpare the difference between American spelling and British spellingD.introduce different views on English spelling〚导学号00420103〛Ⅱ.完形填空(2017·湖北黄冈一模)If you’ve always hoped to give up your 9-to-5 job to move to Maine to

D.Parents.BI took a trip to visit New York with my dad after graduating from high school.One of the places on his list for us to visit was a “rare violin shop”.We made our way down the crowded streets and stopped in front of a tall building.This building was not what I had pictured.I'd been imagining a street-level shop, open to the public, with some interesting and older violins on display.As we walked inside, we were greeted by a receptionist who asked if we had an appointment, since they were by appointment only.I wanted the ground to swallow me whole and was about to waive the visit.But my dad eagerly told them that no, and he sincerely explained that I played the violin with my high school orchestra and we would love to just pop inside and browse!The receptionist gave us an odd look but excused herself to talk to a well-dressed man.Luckily, the man told us that since he had no other appointments right now, he would love to give us a tour!The starting price for a violin here, we found out, was 10k.He showed us around a very private-feeling and swanky-looking condo (奢华的工作间), pointing at a room where he casually mentioned he would chat with Joshua Bell when he came by.My jaw was on the floor the entire time.At the end, the man picked up a Stradivarius and asked me to pizz a string while he held it.And he said, “Now you've played a Stradivarius.”I don't remember the man's name, but I'm so glad that he decided to show a noappointment, noncustomer around.He inspired me to continue pursuing my instrument after high school!4.Why did the author's father take her to the violin shop?A.To buy a new violin for the school orchestra.B.To show support for the author's hobby.C.To ask the receptionist for an appointment.D.To meet famous violinists.5.What does the underlined word “waive”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Give up.B.Put off.C.Pay for. D.Prepare for.6.What can we infer about the man showing them around?A.He is highly educated.B.He is respectful but strict.C.He is friendly and considerate.D.He is good at making musical instruments.7.What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To share her experience of learning about some wonderful violins.B.To show her appreciation for a man in a rare violin shop.C.To encourage readers to stick to their dreams.D.To tell the importance of communication.CLifelike robots that can make decisions, adapt to their environment and learn, are one step closer thanks to a University of Bristol team who has shown a new way of fixing data processing into soft robotic materials.This new advance, published in Science Robotics, could create new robotic possibilities to environmental monitoring, pollution cleanup, drug delivery, wearable devices, and selfhealing structures.So far, the complexity and range of learned behaviors which can be created using only materialsbased control approaches have been limited.The concept of Soft Matter Computers (SMCs) is evolved from the workings of the vascular (血管的)system, where hormones such as adrenaline (肾上腺素) are released into the bloodstream and move in different directions throughout the body.When detected by a receptor, hormones then bring about responses in particular parts of the body such as increased blood flow in flight muscles and expansion of the pupils (瞳孔) in the eyes.Now, researchers from Bristol's Faculty of Engineering, led by Professor Jonathan Rossiter, have successfully shown a new mechanism that enabled computation to be fixed into three soft robots.In their paper, the team describes how a conductive fluid receptor (CFR) is a practicable and fundamental building block for a range of SMCs and next-generation robots.In the near future, SMCs could mirror this process by translating information within the structure of a fluidic tape that travels through the soft body of the robot, and then is detected by an appropriate receptor and then produces an output.Professor Rossiter said,“We have taken an important step toward entirely soft, autonomous robots and smart materials moving beyond stimulus-response (刺激反应的) strategies which could enable the intelligent behaviors seen in living creatures.Soft robots could become even more lifelike and they could be capable of independently adapting to their environment and can show the diversity of behaviours seen in the natural world.”8.What will happen with the invention of lifelike robots according to Paragraph 1?A.They will be able to heal themselves.B.They will bring benefits to many fields.C.They may negatively affect the employment.D.They may change people's way of fixing data.9.Where does the inspiration for SMCs come from?A.Biology.B.Computation.C.Building material. D.Behavioral psychology.10.Which of the following would Jonathan Rossiter most probably agree with?A.Soft robots depend on stimulusresponse strategies.B.Soft robots require simple computation systems.C.CFR will be widely used in the future robots.D.CFR is far from being practicable.11.What would be the best title for the text?A.The Effect of Lifelike Robots on Medical ScienceB.The Working Principle of Lifelike RobotsC.Lifelike Robots Soon to Be RealityD.Benefits of Lifelike RobotsDItalians are some of the fastest speakers on the planet, chattering at up to nine syllables (音节) per second.Many Germans are slow speakers, delivering five to six syllables in the same amount of time.Yet in any given minute, Italians and Germans transmit (传输) roughly the same amount of information, according to a new study.Scientists started with written texts from 17 languages, including English, Italian, Japanese, and Vietnamese.They calculated the information density of each language in bits.They found that Japanese, which has only 643 syllables, had an information density of about 5 bits per syllable, whereas English, with its 6,949 syllables, had a density of just over 7 bits per syllable.Vietnamese, with its complex system of six tones, topped the charts at 8 bits per syllable.Next, the researchers spent 3 years, recording 10 speakers from 14 of the 17 languages.Each participant read aloud 15 identical passages that had been translated into their mother tongue.After noting how long the speakers took to get through their readings, the researchers calculated an average speech rate per language, measured in syllables/second.Some languages were clearly faster than others.But when the researchers multiplied this rate by the bit rate to find out how much information was moved per second, they were shocked by the results.No matter how fast or slow, how simple or complex, each language gravitated toward an average rate of 39.15 bits per second.But why? Pellegrino and his colleagues suspect that the answer has everything to do with the limits imposed by our fragile biology — how much information our brains can take in or produce at any one time.De Boer, an evolutionary linguist who studies speech production at the Free University of Brussels, agrees that our brains are the bottleneck.That's because, he says, the average person can listen to audio recordings sped up to about 120%, and still has no problems with comprehension.“It really seems that the bottleneck is in putting the ideas together.”12.Which language ranks first in terms of information density according to Paragraph 2?A.Italian.B.Vietnamese.C.English. D.Japanese.13.What can we know from the study?A.Japanese speakers convey more information in a fixed time.B.The number of syllables of a language may be changeable.C.Germans tend to transmit more information than Italians.D.Human speech may have a universal information transmission rate.14.What leads to the result of the finding?A.People's fragile comprehension.B.Restriction of humans' brain.C.Information density.D.Complexity of the language.15.What is the structure of the whole text?A.①/②③/④⑤/⑥B.①②/③④/⑤⑥C.①②/③/④⑤/⑥D.①/②③④/⑤⑥Ⅱ.阅读七选五Being laughed at or joked about can happen during the process of learning a language. 16 The following are some ways to overcome the anxiety.17 Remind yourself that you are learning the language, so it is normal to make mistakes.Sometimes the best thing to do is just smile, take a deep breath and try not to let the fear of laughter stop you from learning the language.Practice your speaking skills. One of the best ways to practice your speaking skills is doing role plays.In a role play, two or more people act out an imaginary situation, for example, going to a market or talking to a bus driver. 18 You have a lot of questions about taking the bus.Then you can practice the questions on your friend.If you are unable to find a practice partner, you can practice in your head or you can talk out loud.Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you are worried about what to do in the moment when someone laughs at what you said, the solution can be simple. 19 —For example, “Is there adifferent way that I could have said it?” or “How would you usually say it?” Then, once you know the issue, you can bring the information to a trusted person and ask them to help you correct it.Keep a sense of humor.Keeping a sense of humor can make the long process of learning a language more fun.You might even laugh with the person who is laughing or making the joke.20A.Relax and be patient with yourself.B.Let's explore why some people laugh first.C.You can imagine your friend is the driver.D.Kindly ask the person the reason for the laughter.E.You'd better not set learning goals that are too strict.F.This may feel strange at first but get easier with time.G.And it may make some learners nervous about speaking their new language.外研版(2019)高中英语选择性必修第一册Unit 5 同步练习题答案版(限时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AEducators Rising NYC ChapterTime of the event: October 2019-August 2020Contact: Angel WinstonEducators Rising NYC Chapter is a program for students in Grades 11 and 12 who have an interest in teaching.Chapters will participate in education-focused activities at your school and in monthly engagement opportunities hosted by NYC Men Teach.With the support of teachers or school-based staff members at your school, you can learn about careers in education.YVote Pizza and Politics ForumsTime of the event: OngoingContact: Sanda Balaban/917-543-8350Do you care about issues in and beyond your school and community?

外研版(2019)高中英语必修第一册Unit5单元练习(1)一、阅读理解(共4题;共30分)1.(6分)阅读理解Years ago,many zoos kept all kinds of animals in small cages.Small cages made it easy for people to see the animals,but a small cage is not a good place for an animal to live in.Today zoos keep animals in different kinds of cages.The cages are very big and open.They usually have plants and a little lake.The cages look like the animals'habitats(栖息地).Zoos help to protect all kinds of animals.They protect animals in the zoo and they protect animals in the wild.How do they do this?Zoos teach people how animals live in the wild.Zoos want people to help protect the animals'wild habitats.Many plants and animals are going extinct.Mammoths,which are related with Asia elephants,are now extinct.There are no mammoths in the world today.Scientists say that seventyfour different kinds of living things go extinct every day!Zoos are working together to stop animals from going extinct.(1)(2分)Zoos kept animals in small cages so that people can________.A.protect them B.see them betterC.feed them D.save them(2)(2分)Today,zoos keep animals________.A.in bigger cages B.in the wildC.in smaller cages D.in the field(3)(2分)An animal or a plant that is going extinct________.A.no longer exists(存在)in the worldB.comes into this world soonC.becomes very dangerousD.has fewer and fewer living members2.(8分)阅读理解Scientists have recently discovered that animals that live in groups,such as elephants,foxes,andwolves,are more likely to follow rules.If they don't,and each does its own thing,the group will probably break apart.Group members would be forced to live alone,and would have a harder time hunting and raising their young.That's probably why a traveling wolf pack was seen stopping and waiting for its limping(跛行的)leader to catch up.Similar social ties are believed to be responsible for an elephant saving her friend from drowning.Sometimes,though,animals try their best to do what's right,even when there's nothing in it for them. Nobody knows exactly why."It might simply feel good to be kind,just as it does for humans."says Bekoff. If your friend wasn't nice to you,what would you do?Maybe you would just walk away.That's exactly what a wild red fox did when she was playing boxing with another fox.Toby was a generous cat.For ten years,the kind kitty shared his food with a spaniel(长耳狗)named Katie.After supper,owner Linda Gustafson always divided the food.She'd drop some in Katie's bowl on the floor and some in Toby's dish on the kitchen counter.Gustafson kept the cat's dish up high to keep Katie from stealing Toby's treats.As it turned out,Katie didn't need to steal;she only had to beg.Every night,the spaniel ate her food in a few seconds.Then she'd sit and stare at the cat and every night,Toby would be nice. Using his paw,he'd get several pieces of tasty food down to the waiting dog.Apparently,Katie appreciated it,because whenever she was curled up in her beanbag bed and the cat walked over,she would give up her nice,warm spot."Toby would then lie down in the center of the beanbag,"says Gustafson,"and Katie would lie on the floor."(1)(2分)The reason why some animals prefer to live in groups lies in that________.A.they have to follow natural rulesB.they are afraid of staying aloneC.they cannot find food by themselvesD.living alone would make their lives harder(2)(2分)According to Bekoff,animals try their best to do what's right because________.A.it feels good to be kindB.animals are friendly by natureC.they have learned to do so for a long timeD.they want their owners to like them(3)(2分)It can be inferred from the last paragraph that___________________.A.Linda always lets the animals eat togetherB.Katie sometimes gets her food by stealingC.Toby is generous but Katie isn'tD.Katie and Toby help each other(4)(2分)The passage mainly tells us that________.A.we should protect animals and live with them peacefullyB.animals,like humans,can be connected by friendly social tiesC.rules only exist in human societies and not in animal societiesD.animals will make the world more beautiful and peaceful3.(8分)阅读理解Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by huntergatherers,small,tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that10,000years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present,the world has about6,800languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people,while hot, wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around200languages;the Americas about1,000;Africa2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over800.The median number(中位数)of speakers is a mere6,000,which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over400of the total of6,800languages are close to extinction(消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at random,Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico(150),Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia(one,with a questionmark):none of these seems to have much chance of survival.(1)(2分)What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times?A.They developed very fast.B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D.They were closely connected.(2)(2分)Which of the following best explains"dominant"underlined in paragraph2? A.Complex.B.Advanced.C.Powerful.D.Modern.(3)(2分)How many languages are spoken by less than6,000people at present?A.About6,800.B.About3,400.C.About2,400.D.About1,200.(4)(2分)What is the main idea of the text?A.New languages will be created.B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages.D.Geography determines language evolution.4.(8分)阅读理解As scientists in the Netherlands tried to figure out how to build a super flying robot,they learned from one of nature's flyers:the humble fruit fly.And by building this robot,they've gained new understanding of how the fly carries out one of its dangerous tasks.The robot is called the DelFly Nimble.Its wingspan(翼展)is about a foot wide.It has four wings that can beat at17times per second,which appear very delicate because they're made of the same material as space blankets."In previous designs,they always had a tail,like a traditional airplane tail,"said the robot's main designer Matej Karasek.He's based at the Micro Air Vehicle Laboratory at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands,and he and his colleagues published their findings on Thursday in Science."In previous generations,"he said,"flapping wings drove the robot forward while the tail helped to guide and stabilise(稳定)it.But now the DelFly Nimble is completely controlled by the wings.""The challenge then was actually combining the control into the wing movement,and that's what we achieved," Karasek said."In the latest generation,the wings can each move individually or rotate(旋转)around the body of the robot.The robot can remain in one place in the air for about five minutes on a full battery or fly for more than a kilometre,"Karasek said,"and because the scientists are controlling all the movements,they can use the robot to learn more about how fruit flies actually carry out their dangerous tasks,which has caught the attention of biologists."(1)(2分)Where did scientists get the creative idea of the flying robot?A.From a fruit fly.B.From the birds'wings.C.From some fruit.D.From an airplane.(2)(2分)What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph4probably refer to?A.A full battery.B.A flapping wing.C.The DelFly Nimble.D.The humble fruit fly.(3)(2分)What interests biologists most about fruit flies?A.That they are very tiny insects.B.How they conduct challenging tasks.C.Why they can be easily found in the world.D.That they have light wings and fly quickly.(4)(2分)Where is the text probably taken from?A.A research paper.B.A travel brochure.C.A health magazine.D.A chemistry textbook.二、任务型阅读(共1题;共5分)5.(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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
外研版(2019)必修一 Unit5 Into the Wild 单元测试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解It is quite clear to me, based on my research, that tropical(热带的) insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct(灭绝的) as a result of global warming.Insects in the tropics are already living at the limit of their temperature range and any further increase could quickly kill them off. This would be a major disaster for tropical habitats, which rely on insects for everything from pollination(授粉) to waste disposal(处理). We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. Fitness levels most likely decline quickly and there may not be much we can do about it.Many tropical species can only accept a narrow range of temperatures because the climate they experience is pretty steady throughout the year. Now our study shows that they will be harmed by rising temperatures more than species in cold climates. Unfortunately, the tropics also hold the large majority of species on the planet.We used daily and monthly global temperatures from the 50-year period between 1950 and 2000and compared them with data showing the "fitness levels" of different species. "Fitness" was determined by indicators such as population growth rates and physical performance for different creatures.We found that even moving into the shade did not help the insects. The direct effects of climate change on the organisms(生物) we studied appear to depend a lot more on the organisms' flexibility than on the amount of warming in the area where they lived.As well as the danger to insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. Our research focused only on the impact of changes in temperature, but warming will also change rainfall patterns. These changes could be more important for many tropical organisms, such as plants, but they are harder to predict.1、What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Global warming.B.Living in the tropics.C.Killing polar bears off.D.Insects becoming extinct.2、Why are tropical species more likely harmed by climate change?A.The fitness of crops they feed on is declining.B.They can hardly stand up to temperature changes.C.Their living environment has been greatly damaged.D.The amount of warming is not steady in the tropics.3、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.The significance of the research.B.The challenge facing the researchers.C.Predictions about the impacts of global warming.D.Suggestions on how to preserve tropical regions.4、What is the main purpose of this text?A.To solve a problem.B.To give practical advice.C.To report a coming event.D.To present a research result.二、七选五5、 The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds? ①_____ And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some coping strategies.Ask questions. When you're researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can. ②_____ Ask questions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements? Does the programme include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?Get real. ③_____ Don't burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.④_____ To maintain your weight, you must balance your intake of calories with the energy you burn. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.Weigh yourself weekly. It's important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan, but don't get on the scale every day. Weighing daily won't show you the big picture. ⑤_____A.Stay balanced.B.Once a week is fine.C.Stick with your healthy eating plan.D.Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.E.Being well-informed will help you choose the best diet for you.F.Regular weight check-ins will show you your progress over time.G.If so, you must find a way to turn excitement into determination.三、完形填空(15空)6、 Every year, many people worldwide capture and keep dolphins in small pools, providing them with fish to eat instead of having them to hunt for themselves.

外研版(2019)必修1《Unit 5 Into the wild Period 1》2020年同步练习卷(1)一、阅读理解(本大题共4小题,共8.0分)A"Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a lowcarboneconomy."a Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday."China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy,"said Zhou Changyi,director of the energy saving department of the Ministry ofIndustry and Information Technology."While we can learn many aspects from developed nations,they also should learnsomething from us,such as water conservation," Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair 2009.He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change.The United Kingdom,for example,is concerned about transport,buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions.For China,the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.As such,overseas exhibitors at this year's fair are showing ways to help China achieve lowcarbon emissions in the industrial section.Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life cycle assessment,or LCA,which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling.Tobias Becker,head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China,said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life cycle instead of on its initial investment or ready to use stage.For example,a motor's initial investment accounts for only 3 percent of its life cycle cost,while 94 percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance.Richard Hausmann,North East Asia CEO of Siemens,said:"The color of future industrialization is green."The Germany Company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros (D|S 8.8 billion)for intelligent net power networks,Smart Grid,over the next five years.Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business.A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology,advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy,reduce costs and increase reliability.The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.1.The underlined word "lag" in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by " ______ ".A. fall behindB. be superior toC. attackD. fear2.Which of the following about LCA is TRUE?______A. LCA is used to study the impact on a product.B. LCA can help manufacturing industries decrease carbon release a lot.C. LCA shows industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental influence on its initialinvestment.D. LCA was one of the exhibitions at this year's fair.3.We can infer from the last paragraph of this passage that ______ .A. Siemens has occupied 20 percent market share for the global smart grid businessB. Siemens received orders worth 6 billion Euros recentlyC. Siemens will earn D|S8.8 billion from intelligent power networksD. Siemens' plan about Smart Grid may come true in the future4.The best title for the passage is ______ .A. Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn from Each OtherB. LowCarbon Economy - a Shared GoalC. Intelligent Power NetworksD. Two Biggest Markets for Smart Grid二、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)For many people,being without any electronic devices (设备)creates an uneasyfeeling.I recently experienced a weekend without (5).Allow me to share my (6).Last month,my family and I drove to my aunt Nan's home.My aunt was preparingto move closer to us.The (7) of our visit was to help her pack her belongings.During the ride,my dad (8) us that Aunt Nan's style of living was (9).We wouldn't hear cell phones ring because signals for electronic devices are not (10) in the mountains.My dad also told us that Aunt Nan had a television,but it (11) few channels.My mother added that my aunt doesn't own a computer and that I would need to write my English paper on Aunt Nan's typewriter.Once we finally (12) Aunt Nan's house,we packed household items.Very quickly,however,I realized that it was (13) to figure out what to do in my free moments.I was used to watching television or movies in my (14) time.I was becoming restless (焦虑的).I'm sure that adults you know (15) tell you stories about the games they played and how they had time to think quietly when they were our age.Our parents grew up in a time when electronic devices were not advanced,(16) instant communication with friends and family wasn't even possible.Once the packing was (17),there seemed to be nothing else to do.All the quiet thinking time made me (18),so I began writing my English paper.The old typewriter was fun to use,but I had to be a lot more (19) about making typing mistakes since there was no delete key.The best part of(20) the typewriter was hearing the sound that the keys made.I soon finished my paper.My (21) had time to hike,draw,and make unusual crafts - much like my parents did.The (22) of putting these ideas on paper made me think that our dependence on electronics has (23) our creativity.I challenge you to spend a day without turning (24) any electronic devices.Maybe you will discover the benefit of thinking quietly as well.5.

of the finest markets in the world.Here are four of them.EdinburghFarmers’MarketTraders in Edinburgh have long sold their goods in the shadow of the city’s spectacular castle.It takes place on Castle Terrace every Saturday and attracts a huge crowd with its locally sourced goods.The market is now in its 15th year and champions the very best in Scottish produce.BillingsgateFishMarketThis hub in the heart of the East End of London is the biggest inland market in Britain.Dating back to the 16thcentury,Billingsgate is now served by almost every UK port,with fish transported through the night to arrive for trading,which starts at 4 a.m.It is famed for shifting 25,000 tons of fish each year.StGeorge’sMarketFollow your nose along May Street in Belfast and the smells of delicious home-made food from across the globe will land you in St George’s Market,once voted the best in the pleted in 1896 and featuring tasty food,the trading place is also one of Belfast’s oldest attractions,thanks to its wide range of goods and live music performances.FordAirfieldMarketLooking for an old-style prosthetic leg,a ventriloquist’s dummy,or even a suit of armour?The chances are you’ll find what you’re after —and plenty of other random stuff — at one of the hundreds of stalls here in West Sussex.Huge car boot sales(旧货市场) are held at weekends all year round,rain or shine.The market has been running for 25 years and is a well-known treasure trove for antique experts looking for a bargain.1.Which market has the longest history?A.Edinburgh Farmers’ Market.B.Billingsgate Fish Market.C.St George’s Market.D.Ford Airfield Market.2.What is the main characteristic of St George’s Market?A.Music.B.History.C.Food.D.Building.3.What do we know about Ford Airfield Market?A.It is held every day.B.It closes on rainy days.C.It is famous for its cars.D.It features car boot sales.B(蓉城名校联盟第一次联考)A trip to the library was like a great journey to a different country.To get there,we had to walk a mile.But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection.I had around myself at one time all the people I loved best — my father,mother,brothers and sister — and all the things I loved best — quiet,space and books.I read a lot of books about science:not the spaceships my brothers preferred,but the birds and the bees,literally.I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins(知更鸟).I went through a phase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone(石灰岩).One Saturday,as I wandered through the young adult section,I saw a title:LittleWomen,by Louisa May Alcott.I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything.A book that soundedgreat on the shelf could be dull once you got it home.So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first few paragraphs.I read and read and read LittleWomen until it was time to walk home,and,except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating,I did not put it down until the end.Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott’s story.It was about girls,for one thing,girls who could almost be like me,especially Jo.I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.4.What can we say about the author’s family?A.They enjoyed traveling abroad.B.They were library frequenters.C.They were very fond of walking.D.They led a perfectly quiet life.5.What does the author mainly want to show

seem duller when read in libraries than at home.7.How would the author describe LittleWomen?A.It helped her to discover her true character.B.It made her forget about food and sleep.C.It inspired confidence in her.D.It kept her absorbed.C(安徽名校联盟第二次质量检测)Sourdough starters,dress shirts with pajama bottoms,Zoom cocktails and pandemic trends come and go.But there’s one trend that looks like it’s here to stay — at least for another year—gardening.Multiple seed sellers are reporting an increased demand for seed orders.As homebound green thumbs turned to horticulture(园艺) once more,Missouri-based Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company has had to shut down its website three times due to overwhelming demand.The company says it is selling siore seeds compared to its average busy st year,the company told TheWashingtonPost,it saw the largest volume of orders it had seen just as shutdowns began.“Even with machines,we can’t pack them fast enough,” Kathy McFarland,who handles public relations for Baker Creek,told CivilEats.Just like a slate of home-friendly hobbies like baking and knitting,gardening has seen an increase in popularity over the last year.A quarter of respondents started gardening because of the pandemic.The wave of new gardeners has led to retail sales’ growth in the gardening industry,while other types of consumer goods,like clothing and home furniture,saw declines during thepandemic.Lowe’s and Home Depot,the country’s largest homeimprovement retailers that sell plants and gardening supplies,both saw sales’ gains last year.According to a survey from Axiom Marketing,half of the respondents who garden said they did it as a reason to get outside and relieve stress.Some started gardening to have security in their own food supply,especially at the beginning of the pandemic when grocery store shelves were empty.“There are certainly very stabilizing forces in gardening that can ground us when we are feeling shaky,uncertain andterrified.It’s these predictable outcomes and predictable rhythms of the garden that are very comforting right now,” Joel S.Flagler,a professor of Plant Biology at Rutgers,the State University of New Jersey,told AGWEEK.While food stock in grocery stores has remained stable,a majority of people in the Axiom survey said they planned to garden the same amount,or even more.8.The underlined word “thumbs” in paragraph 2 probablymeans .A.glovesB.fingersC.peopleD.gardeners9.According to Joel S.Flagler,people can enjoy by gardening.A.rhythms of musicB.prediction of gardening productionC.space of gardeningD.emotional relief10.According to the passage,why does the author refer to baking and knitting?A.To show people’s growing interest in gardening.B.To talk about housework.C.To mention cooking styles.D.To talk about seeds.11.The market of seed selling shall be .A.on declineB.with stabilityC.by chanceD.in blossomD(原创预测题)For the past 60 years,the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has protected animals,restored lost habitats and advocated for policy changes that benefit wildlife.Now,the conservation organization is trying a new approach.This year,AWF launched the inaugural Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards.The contest aims to reach a different audience.While photography competitions are nothing new,the AWF hopes that the exhibition of winning entries will encourage African people to take a more active role in conservation.Its CEO Kaddu Sebunya said,“Africans need to take the responsibility for the conservation of their heritage.”Photographers of all ages and backgrounds,professional and amateur,were invited to submit to the competition.A judging panel,comprised of photographers,conservationists,activists and safari guides,selected photos from 12 categories including “Artin Nature”“Coexistence and Conflict” and “Conservation Heroes”.The “Conservation Heroes” category had special appeal for Kenyan con servation photographer Anthony Ochieng Onyango.“I realized there was a communication gap because most of what was being communicated was data in scientific publications,” said Onyango,adding that images are a simple way for people to connect to compleany e ntries in the AWF competition,there’s only one 19-year-old Cathan Moore from South Africa among the category winners.There’s a lack of opportunity for young aspiring photographers on the continent.AWF is seeking grants and partnerships to enable more African people to participate neake nature photography competitions more accessible to those unable to pay or buy eera equipment,allowing people to use whatever camera they have and photograph wildlife in urban environments.Sebunya hopes that the competition can open up a dialogue about conservation—and why it’s so important for Africa’s future.Many people in Africa look at conservation as a thing done by and forforeigners,said Sebunya.While he praised the work of international NGOs,he emphasized that it’s vit al that African voices are heard and for local people to lead conservation efforts.12.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.African people take photographs in order to protect wildlife.B.AWF calls for people’s active involvement in wildlife conservation.C.AWF holds photography competition for the conservation of wildlife.D.A communication gap exists between ordinary people and wildlife conservation.13.Which of the following statements about the photography competition is TRUE?A.This year’s winners include quite a number of teenage photographers.B.The winners’ works will be on display to promote wildlife conservation.C.The judging panel includes both professional and amateur photographers.D.People who are not skilled in photography can’t take part in the competition.14.According to Anthony Ochieng Onyango,what caused the communication gap?A.People’s lack of desire to connect to the issue.B.The lack of scientific publications on the issue.C.People’s lack of professional camera equipment.D.The lack of simple and direct ways to present the issue.15.What’s Sebunya’s attitude toward the

The people try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend.He may not see you at all.If you are polite,you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents,you will be asked into each one.The people will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People need ways to show that they want to be friends.[语篇解读]本文主要介绍了世界上一些地方的礼仪。

Ⅰ阅读理解
A British scientist whose schoolmasters told him he
was too stupid to study the subject has been awarded the
Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology for his pioneering
work on cloning.
At the age of 15, Sir John Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at biology, and was in the bottom set in every other science subject.His master,Mr.Gaddum, was in fact a museum curator(解说员) by profession who had been hired to teach the lowest-achieving pupils and was not in fact a particularly effective teacher.Though he had heard Gurdon was interested in doing science, he thought this was a completely ridiculous idea because there was no hope whatever of Gurdon doing science.
After receiving the report, Sir John said he switched his attention to classics and was offered a place to study at Christ Church, Oxford, but was allowed to switch courses and read zoology instead because of a mix-up in the admissions office.
It was at Oxford as a postgraduate student that he published his famous research on genetics and proved for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.He did so by taking a cell from an adult frog’s intestine(肠), removing its genes and implanting them into an egg cell, which
grew into a clone of the adult frog.
Different from the previous studies by much more senior scientists,his idea was controversial(引起争议的) at the time and it was a decade before the then-graduate student’s work became widely accepted.
But it led directly to the cloning of Dolly the Sheep by Prof Ian Wilmut in ter on Prof Yamanaka found adult cells can be “reprogrammed”into stem cells for use in medicine.
Sir John professed to be unaware of the cash prize that awaits,but said he would most likely invest it in a fund he has previously set up to support PhD students during their fourth year of study.
