A
One day, when I was going to check in at an airport, I noticed there was a big problem. The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet.
Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班), and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight. Good Luck!”
Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my luggage into the bus and had taken my guitar over my back when the driver said, “What? Are you going to play that in my bus?”“Well, really did not plan on it,” I replied. “I was only kidding,” said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the guitar. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I don’t like it?”“Then tell me and I will stop,” I replied.
We drove off, and the tension made the atmosphere in the bus horrendous! Then I started playing the old song Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was humming along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song.
One song led to another, and everyone seemed to have a request. “Do you know You Are My Sunshine?” Everyone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight.
The bus driver called, “We made it! We never would have done it without the help of our guitar player.” Shouts of approval rang through the bus. People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit, and a few exchanged hugs. The driver said to me, “This is the best ride I ever had. Thanks for your music.”
A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience — a magical, musical bus ride.
1. What can we learn about the driver from his words in Paragraph 2?
A. He was late because he just returned from an all-night shift.
B. He was unwilling to take those people to the airport.
C. He thought it was possible to get those people to the airport in time.
D. He thought he was lucky to take those people to the airport.
2. When the author decided to play his guitar, ______.
A. not all the passengers preferred that idea
B. all the passengers disliked that idea
C. the driver fully supported him
D. the whole bus burst into song
3. The underlined word “horrendous” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “ ______”.
A. terrible
B. cheerful
C. strange
D. changeable
4. What does this text mainly tell us?
A. An unforgettable flight to Seattle.
B. The amazing friendship on a bus.
C. A great guitar player.
D. A wonderful musical bus ride.

A good night’s sleep may help your brain file away (存档) lessons learned during the day. But, according to a new study, the brain begins processing and storing those memories long before it is time for bed and continues to do so even while you are thinking about and doing other things.
Recent studies have shown that the parts of the brain that we use to learn a task become active again during sleep. This activity, scientists suggest, could be the brain transferring memories from short-term to long-term storage. But the brain doesn’t necessarily wait until the lights are out to begin processing those memories.
To find out how the brain handles memories during waking hours, scientists gave 15 volunteers two tasks, each requiring different parts of the brain to learn. In one task, the volunteers learned how to drive in a virtual (虚拟的) town and then searched the town for an object. In the second task, they learned to predict where a series of dots would appear on a screen.
Using a special machine, the researchers scanned the volunteers’ brains right before and right after the tasks. The compared the two images to see whether the regions of the brain involved in learning the task were still active even after the task was completed.
After a break, the scientists took a third image of each volunteer’s brain. They wanted to determine whether these regions in the brain continued to be active after more time had passed and they discovered that, for at least an hour after learning the task, the brain stays active. It appears to continue processing the new information.
Furthermore, the images showed that distracting the volunteers doesn’t affect their ability to
store
memories. The processing continues even when they are thinking about or doing other things.
Some scientists say this could mean that sleep isn’t essential for storing memories. Others disagree. Until that’s settled, it is probably still better to be on the safe side, getting plenty of sleep.
5. The fact that the parts of the brain used to learn a task become active again during sleep may suggest
that______.
A. we are dreaming about lessons that we have learned in the daytime
B. memories are transferred from short-term to long-term storage
C. we have difficulty falling asleep if we work too much before bed
D. the brain starts to store memories only after we go to sleep
6. The scientists took a third image of each participant’s brain to ______.
A. find whether the brain continued processing the new information after a while
B. compare the differences between the brains right before and right after the tasks
C. prove that different parts of the brain are all involved in the process of learning
D. discover whether the processing continues when people are doing other things
7. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. it is good for us to sleep on the safe side
B. sleep has nothing to do with storing memories
C. scientists haven’t agreed on whether sleep is vital for storing memories.
D. to store memories we’d better not do other things after learning a task.
8. What is the author’s attitude towards the study of the brain storing memories?
A. Objective
B. Supportive
C. Uninterested
D. Opposed
C
I live in an area where most parents would rather cut back on personal hobbies for themselves than stop paying for their children’s activities.
Music lessons, horseback riding, summer camps, sports teams — the list goes on and on. Often, so do the costs. And even if the money is not there, some parents find a way. I know people who have borrowed from family and run up their credit cards to pay for all the stuff they believe their children just cannot miss.
“The experiences we thought kids had to have before high school has moved down to junior high and now elementary,”said William Doherty, a professor of family studies at the University of Minnesota. “Soon, we’ll be talking about leadership opportunities for babes.”
To come clean, my children through the years have taken ice skating, tennis and violin. Some lessons lasted a few months, some for years.
And what is wrong with that? Maybe we know that some parents go overboard on extracurricular (课外的) activities, but aren’t these important for their children’s future success?
Somehow, not offering our children every possible opportunity “feels like bad parenting”, said Wendy Mogel, a psychologist.
“It is easy to take a look at the more successful kids and consider that all the activities are why they are more successful,” Professor Caplan said. But research doesn’t prove that. On a recent National Public Radio program, Steven D. Levitt, a professor of economics, said he and another economist could find no evidence that that sort of parental choices could be related at all with academic success. “And my guess is,” he went on, “that when it comes to the happiness of kids, that kind of cramming (填鸭式) has got be negatively related. Being rushed from one event to another is just not the way most kids want to live their lives, at least not my kid.”
And in an effort to give their children everything, some parents end up not just using up financial resources, but also their own emotional energy. “A lot of parents are exhausted by their own overparenting,” said Bryan Caplan, the economics professor. “They make so many sacrifices and are so stressed out by driving around so much that they explode with anger and yell at kids for changing the radio station!”
9. From William Doherty’s argument we can know that kids ______.
A. are taking extracurricular activities at a much younger age
B. should take extracurricular activities before elementary school
C. should seize leadership opportunities when they were babies
D. need to experience so many activities at a young age
10. Why do parents offer their children so many lessons according to Wendy Mogel?
A. They don’t know what kind of lessons their children like.
B. They want to show off their love to their children.
C. They want to be good parents and be responsible for their children
D. They believe the lessons can help their children achieve academic success
11. Which of the following statements may Steven D. Levitt agree on?
A. The happiness of children is closely related to the activities they take.
B. the more activities the children take, the more successful they will be.
C. Children should fight for their rights to live a life that they want to live.
D. Children will be upset if they are forced to take too many activities.
12. What is a bad effect of offering children too many extracurricular activities?
A. The parents may get extremely tired.
B. The parents may ask too much of their children.
C. The children may make no sacrifice.
D. The children may quarrel with their parents.
D

2019届高三英语二模汇编——阅读B篇 1、2019黄浦二模 Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (B) ● Stocky, slow-moving whale, rarely grows beyond 15 metres in length ● Flippers are a third of body length; variable dorsal fin size and shape; saw-toothed trailing edge on flukes, often raised when diving ● Bumpy tubercles on top of head ● Body colour is dark brown to black; often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes; such patterns enable individual recognition ● Bushy blow, occasionally V-shaped ● 270-400 olive baleen plates Humpback whales belong to the rorqual (groove-throated) family, which includes fin, sei, Bryde’s, minke and blue whales. The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. Once common in New Zealand waters, humpbacks are now rarely seen and may migrate further offshore. Males compete for mates either by physical fight or by song. Females give birth to their young every two to three years; some non-breeding females probably remain in the southern waters during winter. Young humpback whales return to their area of birth but in later life some wander between breeding areas. Humpbacks eat small shrimps and other schooling prey, such as fish, forming small, cooperative groups of two to three individuals to feed. Similar species: Easily identifiable due to a ‘hump’ back when submerging, but at a distance may be confused with other species that raise their flukes when diving, such as sperm, right and blue whales. Protection status:Recovering well from past whaling and now numerous in some former migration and aggregation areas, rarely seen in others.
(A ) A coal-fire stove(炉灶)provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital. With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort. When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways(小巷) that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental(伤感) to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life. Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions(排放) of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels. Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan (US$323) per household. With the government's subsidy（补贴）, however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal. 1．Zhao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______. A.people in Beijing using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics. B.people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment. C.hutongs in Beijing have a long history. D.People pay more money to use electric radiators than before. 2. The underlined word eliminate probably means________ A. cut down. B. increase. C. get rid of. D. replace 3. We can infer from the passage that ______ A. Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove. B. The government will pay most of the fee. C. The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s. D. The people do not use coal eight months in one year. 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The clean air is important when the Olympics Games is held in Beijing. B. The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air. C. The government spare no effort to make the environment better. D. The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.
As a young man, A1 was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal disorder, neither A1 nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the malady was actually acute appendicitis and the boy died suddenly that night. Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, A1‘s emotional health deteriorated under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his 6-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than A1 could handle, and he turned to alcohol to help him cope. In time A1 became an alcoholic. As the alcoholism progressed, A1 began to lose everything he possessed – his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually A1 died alone in a San Francisco motel room. When I heart of A1‘s death, I reacted with the same disdain the world sh ows for one who ends his life with nothing material to show for it. ―What a complete failure!‖ I thought. ―what a totally wasted life!‖ As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew A1‘s now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere. I hadn‘t heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to defend an alcoholic. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. ―I‘m really puzzled by soothing‖, I said. ―I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do that you became such a special person?‖ Ernie sat qu ietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, ―From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, A1 came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ?I love you, son.‘‖ Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge A1 as a failure. He had not left any material possession behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known. 1. Al's elder son probably died of acute appendicitis due to ________ according to this passage. A. lack of care and nutrition B. the couple's carelessness C. serious stomachache D. too much alcohol 2. What can we know from the second paragraph? A. Given more attention, the boy could be saved. B. Al eventually became an alcoholic without any reason. C. Al's wife was also dead because of her elder son's death. D. The boy's death couldn't be avoided even if he was given more attention. 3. How did the writer evaluate Al's son, Ernie in this passage? A. Kind. B. Caring. C. Loving. D. All above. 4. The purpose of writing this passage for the writer is to show ________. A. we should reevaluate Al's meaning of life B. love is the best heritage in our life C. Ernie is a kind, caring and loving son D. Al's death is a totally wasted life as well

1 Artificial Intelligence: Friend And Foe[M] 人工智能：亦敌亦友 来源: FORBES DEC. 26 2017 1 Artificial intelligence has a huge role to play on both sides of the cybersecurity equation. The industry faces a protracted and severe skill shortage. AI can perform both rote management tasks more quickly and efficiently, without getting bored or distracted. It can also learn new and better security practices from the evolving digital framework it inhabits. (1) In ou r world whe re conne cti vit y has far ou tpac ed securit y, int ell igent a gents that ca n h eal and defend themse lves are invaluabl e all ies. Machine learning has already proven effective in sandbox environments at exploring potential vulnerabilities and devising defenses.、 2 But cybercriminals are developing their own AI, and are unlikely to do so ethically. In legitimate lab settings, AI can be carefully monitored and trained for years to be predictable and reliable. (2)Cybercriminals are less likely to avoid these potentially dangerous side effects, favoring speed over safet y. Malware rings resembling intelligent swarms of (一大群) angry bees are already starting to appear, weaponizing devices against their owners. 3 It is the rise of the hive (数据仓库工具) . Today the term botnet refers to automated, zombie-like devices that are remotely programmed to target other vulnerable systems with malware (恶意软件) , or to infect them via blunt-force attacks, such as denial of service. Botnets are dangerous and account for billions of unauthorized network communications every quarter. The hivenet, however, is much more frightening because each unit of the hivenet, a swarmbot, will itself be powered by AI. (3)Swarmbots will be able to make autonomous decisions without relying on a botnet herder and join togethe r int o larger autonom ous thi nking networks. The potential for hivenet damage is substantially greater than anything we have faced from already-potent botnets. 4 (4)That’s why one of the most serious threats we face in 2018 and beyond is malware with the capa cit y to learn and gro w throu gh it s own su cces ses . Polymorphic (多态的) malware with pre-coded algorithms (算法) designed to subvert (破坏) countermeasures and screens is already a reality. But that approach simply generates millions of slight variations on the same theme. Nextgen Al- generated malware will be aware and capable of adapting itself. 5 (5)Instead of sim pl y f oll owing a set of pre -p rogramm ed inst ructi ons, it will select targets of opportuni t y, assess th eir weakness es, dev elo p a plan of att ack and cover it s tracks.

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A
高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifetime greatly. The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It's a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing (管道装置) lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17°C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside. The village is the brainchild (主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process. The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”. （1）What does Paragraph 1 intend to tell us? A.
