I saw it first, Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlies hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside
"There's got to be a million dollars here! "Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the w ad of cash. "More like thousands” she said, her vo ice shaking in disbelief.
They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dre ams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.
They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. "I wonder who lost it "Their moods shifted, sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet's clear plastic compartment, there was a driver's license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.
24. Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet?
A. In an alley B In a backpack
C. Among some flowers D On the sidewalk
25. In paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaking?
A. She was afraid that they would be seen by others
B. She was disappointed there wasn't a million dollars
C. She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else
D. She felt nervous because she'd never seen so much money
26. On their way to Amy’s house, the children's mood changed from
A excited to suspicious B. happy to angry
C relieved to worried D. nervous to disappointed
27. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?
A. To keep the money a secret from others
B. To return the wallet to its rightful owner
C. To put the wallet back where they found it.
D. To buy many different things with the money.
C
An article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones — and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.
But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. "What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today," says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them.
"Research on the history of humans' ability to move has traditionally been controversial, " says Lieberman. "At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. "
28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans' ability to run?
A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking.
B. It helps to form people's ability to climb trees.
C. It has played an important role in human evolution.
D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.
29. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors?
A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances.
B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently.
C. people's shoulders allow them to look from side to side.
D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.
30. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_________.
A. always came across dangerous situations in life
B. ran after animals for long distances when hunting
C often failed to find food because they couldn't run fast
D developed their hunting skills by running long distances
31. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________.
A completely explain how running developed
B revolutionize the theory of human evolution
C. encourage more in-depth studies on the topic
D. be widely supported within the scientific community
D
Scientists have solved the mystery of why the
overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化
石)are male.
Much like wild elephants today, young male
Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around
alone and more often got themselves into risky
situations where they were swept into rivers, or
fell through ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholes that
preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.
Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger.
"Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, "said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.
The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth "We were very surprised because there was no reason to expect a sex bias in the fossil record," said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.
Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven't survived," explained Dalen
"It is highly likely that the remains that are found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering."
These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.
32. The underlined word "matriarch" in paragraph 3 means _______.
A. figure head
B. female leader
C experienced animal D. mature mammoth
33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals?
A. Scientists find it easier to study male fossilized bones.
B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to females
C Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances.
D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form.
34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out?
A. The increasing competition for food.
B. The cooling of the earth's temperature.
C. The disappearance of male mammoths.
D The risky behaviour of younger mammoths.
35. What is the text type of the passage?
A. A newspaper article.
B. An academic essay.
C. A historical description.
D. A science fiction story.

Throughout history, people have thought of the ocean as a diverse and limitless source of food. Yet today there is clear evidence that the oceans have a limit. Most of the big fish in our oceans are now 61 (go). One major cause is overfishing. People are taking so many fish from the sea that many species cannot replace 62
(they)
For centuries, local fishermen caught only enough fish for their own and their community's needs. However, from the early 20th century, people around the world became interested 63 consuming protein-rich foods, People began 64 (catch)large quantities of fish for profit and selling them to worldwide markets. In a very short period of time, commercial fishing 65 (great) reduced the number of large predatory fish, such as cod and tuna.
Today, there are still plenty of fish in the sea, 66 they're mostly just the little ones. Small fish, 67 include sardines and anchovies, have more than doubled in number- largely because there are not enough big fish 68 (eat)them Such large fish 69 (be) necessary, because they hunt and kill the sick and weak smaller fish. Without this weeding out, or survival of the fittest, ecosystems become less stable. As a result, fish are less able to survive 70 (difficult) such as pollution, environmental change, or changes in the food supply.

Good morning, everyone! My name is Li Hua and it’s my great pleasure to welcome our guests from our UK sister school. It’s exciting to meet so many new friends.
As this is a cultural exchange program, I’d like to talk briefly about aspects of Chinese traditional culture, specifically Chinese painting. Traditional Chinese painting, known as “guo hua”, is an enduring art form with a 2000-year-long history. In contrast to western oil painting, it’s usually done on rice paper or thin silk, using various brushes and black or coloured ink. With subjects ranging from landscapes, to flora and fauna, these paintings not only reflect the Chinese conception of artistic beauty but also embody the principles of Chinese philosophical thinking. We are planning several visits to our city’s art galleries so you can see for yourself.
I hope you’ll have a fantastic time during your stay with us and enjoy the activities we have organized.
Thank you!

2020广州高考二模作文8篇汇总 2017广州高考二模作文及点评：独立使自己更加强大 有一位17岁的英国女孩买彩票，中了100万英镑后购买了两套 物业，吃喝不愁，但四年后她将彩票公司给起诉了，称彩票毁了自 己的生活，希望回到获奖前的生活。彩票公司最后聘请财务顾问为 她提供理财服务。我认为，如果该女孩从小能养成独立的习惯，那 么将不会面对突如其来的巨额奖金，手足无措，焦虑万分。 我们的人生并不是一帆风顺，我们的成长也并非风雨无阻，我们的父母也不可能永远呵护着我们，让我们生活在一个毫无困难的温 室中，我们总要面向社会，而在这之前，我们要成为一个独立自主 的人才能在这波涛汹涌的社会中不被淹没。如果这位英国女孩能够 独立自主，那么这100万大奖将不是烫手的芋头而是天降甘露。让 她能更加舒适的生活下去，将这些钱合理分配自主的进行合理利用 和投资生活得轻松而有条理。 独立有利于我们的学习，当我们在学习的过程中，总是会遇到许许多多的困难和问题，往往这个时候我们都是马上去问同学或老师，缺乏自主思考与自己亲自解决的过程，只是简单的会了一道题，而 不是通了一类题。导致效率十分低下，最终和他人的距离越拉越大。如果我们能够有自主学习的习惯，独立思考，那么将使自己更高效 率的有效学习。 独立有利于个人的成长，李嘉诚在创业初期在茶楼里当小工，但他在闲余的时间总能独立学习，自学了许多外语和为商之道。在开 塑胶厂时，常常都是亲力亲为，最终造就了一名地产大亨。如果我 们能够独立的生活，自己的事自己想办法搞定，将对我们以后的成 长和发展更加有利，当我们独立完成很多事后，将让我们变得自强，在以后面对困难时，不会像该获奖女孩一样倍感压力，手足无措， 而是能更好的独立解决问题，独立使我们的意志更加坚定，更加坚强，不会轻易被挫折所击败。

Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you’ll see parents who can get their children to rem ember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains. So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement. FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see”the ideas you’re giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors. REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protectthem from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event. EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh. The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action. 21. What is the main purpose of the text? A.To report new research. B.To provide some advice. C.To explain a problem. D.To define some terms. 22. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on w hat you are saying? A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic. B.Do something humorous to get their attention. C.Make sure the information provided is correct.

第二节书面表达 Sample 1: Dear Chris, Glad to learn that you will take part in a Chinese poem recitation contest. Here is my interpretation of the poem you’ll recite. The poem is about a son who is leaving his hometown to pursue his dream. Feeling concerned about his son, the mother decides to make a coat for him. She is worried that her son might not come home soon, so she sews every stich carefully hoping to make it last longer. This poem praises the love of mothers. In the first two lines, the characters “thread” and “coat” imply the inseparable bond between mother and son. In the l ast two lines, the poet compares a mother’s love to sunlight, which helps the grass grow day by day. And such great kindness cannot be easily repaid. Good luck in the upcoming contest! Looking forward to the news of your victory. Yours, Li Hua Sample 2: Dear Chris, Glad to hear that you’re participating in the Chinese poem recitation contest. The poem you chose is an ancient one, which ought to be a real challenge. The poem, written by Mengjiao, is called A Traveler’s Song. It’s about the deep love between the poet and his mother. The poem mainly describes a scene in which a mother is making clothes for her son who is leaving home to fulfil his dream. With each stich she makes, the mother conveys her deep love for her son and her concern that he may not return. The poet expresses his ideas using similes/comparison, concluding that a “mother’s love is like the sunshine to the grass”. With its rich emotion and depth, this poem is a good choice for your contest. Best of luck. Yours Li Hua
