ARubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each person produces about two kilograms of rubbish in our homes a day. And this is only a small part of all the rubbish we produce. We also create waste in industry.Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish? Most of it is buried in landfills or burned. Less than 25% of our waste is recycled. A landfill is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of the ground. Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc,).One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land space. If they are not well-built, there is a high risk of polluting the land and water. Some people also say that landfills remove materials for ever. As a result, the materials that can be reused are wasted.Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste. Burning reduces95% of the waste. And if poisonous materials are removed, and burning is completed at controlled temperatures, it’s possible to do so without causing too much pollution. Some factories could even produce electricity from the burning process.Not all of the rubbish can be burned , so we have to separate it before we burn it. However, separation costs a lot of money. Another problem with burning rubbish is that what is left after burning is poisonous. How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem.Before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main way to deal with waste. In the late 20th century, other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution.21. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.A. the separation of rubbishB. the problem with landfillsC. the safety of landfillsD. the problem with burning rubbish22. What is the advantage of burning rubbish?A. Producing electricity.B. Reusing the materials buried in landfills.C. Reducing 59% of the waste.D. Recycling the poisonous materials in rubbish.23. What does “separate〞 mean?A. buryB. divideC. recycleD. classify24. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Recycling WasteB. Cutting Out WasteC. Burning WasteD. Burning WasteBAs a professor of sports and exercise, in my research, I often deal with nervousness of sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you control.Most people can’t tell the difference between controllable and uncontrollable causes. So things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.Simply try to accept the uncontrollable cause of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it become easier not to worry.If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you－nervous then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or jobinterview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.25. The first thing you should do to deal with your nervousness is________.A. find the cause or causes that make you nervous.B. focus all of your efforts on the causes you can’t control.C. focus all of your efforts on managing the causes you can control.D. m ake a list of those things that can’t control.26. T he writer think you needn’t worry about some causes of nervousness, because________.A. most are not important at allB. they can’t controlled by peopleC. it’s better to deal with one cause at a timeD. they are not the real causes of the problem27. The writer wrote the passage to________.A. attract more people to exercise.B. advise on how to deal with nervousness.C. help people remember their nervousness.D. explain the dangers of nervousness.CUS bees operation keeping groups have been attacked seriously by so called Colony 〔群体〕Collapse Disorder．Almost 1/2 of their worker bees have vanished during the past season．This disorder has also been reported in Israel, Europe and SouthAmerica．Bees fly away from the hive and never return．Sometimes they are found dead; other times they are never found．Many crops and trees depend on pollination by bees to help them grow．A new report says a virus may be at least partly responsible for the disorder in honey bee colonies in the United States．This virus is called Israeli acute paralysis virus．It was first found in Israel in 2021．lan Lipkin at Columbia University in New York and a team reported the new findings in Science Magazine．Doctor Lipkin says the virus may not be the only cause．He says it may work with other causes to produce the collapse disorder．The team found the virus in colonies with the help of a map of honey bee genes that was published last year．They examined thirty colonies affected by the disorder．They found evidence of the virus in twenty-five of them, and in one healthy colony．The next step is further testing of healthy hives．The researchers suggested that the United States may have imported the disorder in bees from Australia．They say the bees may carry the virus but not be affected． The idea is that unlike many American bees, the ability of Australian bees to fight disease has not been hurt by the varroa mite．This insect attacks honey bees, which could make the disorder more likely to affect a hive．Australian bee producers object to these suspicions．And some researchers suspect that bee production in the United States is down mainly because of the weather．Honey bees gather nectar from flowers and trees．The sweet liquid gives them food and material to make honey．But cold weather this springin the Midwest reduced the flow of nectar in many flowers．Many bees may have starved．Dry weather in areas of the country could also be playing apart．Wayne Esaias is a NASA space agency scientist who keeps bees in his free time．He lives in central Maryland, where he has found that flowers are blooming a month earlier than they did in 1970, which may be partly responsible for the disorder. Wayne Esaias is organizing a group of beekeepers to document nectar flow around the country.28．What is the author’s attitude toward the cause of this disorder?A．Doubtful. B．Neutral. C．Supportive. D．Negative.29．The researchers found the virus sharply by .A．studying the published Science MagazineB．researching the causes of bee deathC．examining some affected colonyD．exploring a connected chart30．From the passage we can infer thatA．American bees are more likely to defend themselves against hurt from other insects than Australian onesB．A collection of plants production in U.S ay be influenced by the bee disorder C．Israeli acute paralysis virus should be responsible for the disorderD．The solution to the disorder will be found eventually第二节〔一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，并在答题纸上将该选项涂黑。

passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinishedstatements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that fits best accordingto the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）A traffic jam when you’re already late.A free ride when you’ve already paid.The fact that the King James Bible is the most shoplifted book in the United States.One of these three things is an example of irony—the reversal of what is expected or intended.The other twoare not.The difference between them may be one of the most curious linguistic（语言学的）misunderstandingsyou’re likely to encounter.“Ironic”does not,technically,mean“unfortunate,”“interesting,”or“coincidental,”despitethese terms often being used interchangeably.And that frequent misuse has not escaped linguists（语言学家）；according to the editors at ,“We estimate that ironic might be the most abused word in the Englishlanguage.”So what does irony really mean and where does the confusion come from?Part of the ambiguity probably originates from the fact that there are no fewer than three definitions of irony depending on which dictionary youuse.There’s Socratic irony（an ancient dialogue move），and dramatic irony（an ancient theatrical move），but thedefinition of irony we care about is situational irony.Situational irony occurs when,as the Oxford EnglishDictionary defines it,“a state of affairs or an event…seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is oftenslightly amusing as a result.”The trick,is the deliberately contrary part—for a situation to be ironic,it must be the opposite of what is expected, not merely an amusing coincidence.A traffic jam when you’re already late may be an undesirable coincidence,butit is not the opposite outcome one would expect when leaving for work late.Instead,College Humor writer PatrickCassels corrects the situation like this:“A traffic jam when you’re already late to receive an award from the MuncipalPlanning Board for reducing the city’s automobile congestion by80percent.”Now that’s irony.56.The common misunderstanding of the word“ironic”is that_____.A.it describes something unlucky,amusing or coincidentalB.it shows something that is opposite to what is expected or intendedC.it means unfortunate,interesting and coincidental at the same timeD.it is not the most abused word in the English language57.The underlined word“ambiguity”means______.A.distinctionB.understandingC.uncertaintyD.issue58.Which following situation can be described as“ironic”according to the above passage?A.John was supposed to enjoy a free ride but actually he had paid for it before.B.Alexander Bell invented the telephone,but refused to keep one in his study for fear of distraction.C.Y ou had planned a perfect wedding and invited all the important people,when it started to rain.D.McDonalds’employee warned against eating Kentucky Fried Chicken burgers and fries.59.What will be the best title for the passage?A.An Unexpected Traffic JamB.The Most Misused Word in EnglishC.Why Is the Word Irony MisusedD.Curious Linguists Settled Another Misunderstanding（B）60.In Fabric&Styles,which item leaves you with the least personal choice?A.FabricB.Fly StyleC.Pocket StyleD.Thread Color61.According to the passage,which of the following statements is True?A.The tailor will meet all the requirements on your jeans on condition that you state every detail clearly in yourorder.B.If the order with wrong measurements has already been processed,nothing can be done to fix the situation.C.Before payment,you’d better check your order in detail and can still make modifications if necessary.D.Y ou will have to wash your jeans upon receipt,because they don’t fit perfectly until they shrink a little afterwashing.62.If you place an overseas order with full payments by PayPal on October12,you will receive your jeans no laterthan______.A.Oct.21B.Oct.26C.Nov.16D.Nov.20（C）Social norms of right and wrong are vital to a well-functioning society.However,such moral standards are changeable and the psychological mechanisms（机制）driving this change are unknown.Now,researchers at Karolinska Institutet report that our view of selfish and unselfish behaviors changes depending on how common they are.The results are based on a combination of behavioral experiments,mathematical models and computer simulations.In the experiments,the participants first observed other people’s behavior in a so-called“public goodsgame”，in which players receive a sum of money and then choose either to invest it to varying degrees so that itbenefits everyone in the group,or to keep it for themselves.After every round,the participants were asked to judgethe different choices as morally right or wrong,and whether the choices ought to be punished with a reduction inhow much the players gained.Uselfish behavior was considered more morally right than selfish,but both behaviors were judged to be more Moral and less deserving of punishment if the majority exhibited them than if they were uncommon.The Commonness of the selfish behavior also affected the participants’willingness to themselves pay to punish selfishness.“Tolerance of selfish behavior increased when the majority of the players kept the money for themselves,which surprised me,”says principal investigator Andreas Olsson,senior lecturer at Karolinska Institutet’s Department ofClinical Neuroscience.“The fact that a behavior is common doesn’t automatically mean that it’s right—this idea isbased on faulty logical that confuses facts with moral values.”The study shows our view of what is morally right and wrong has strong similarities with social conformity,in that we tend to adapt ourselves to the people around us and how they behave.This means that changes in our social environment can quickly alter our moral compass.“This is interesting from several angles,and could explain why normal attitudes change over time,such asthose towards public goods or legality,”says Bjorn Lindstrom,postdoc at University of Zurich and Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience.63.According to Andreas Olsson’s analysis,if people accept selfish behavior,they actually_____.A.get facts and moral values mixed upB.misunderstand social mechanismsC.follow the logic of their ownD.consider it correct and reasonable64.It can be concluded that the participants in the experiments are punished if_____.A.they can’t play“public goods game”B.invest the money to benefit group membersC.they behave differently from the majorityD.they keep the money for themselves65.According to the passage,what is morally right or wrong is shaped by the following Expert___.A.the way people around us behaveB.changes in our social environmentC.personal standards of values and attitudesD.how widespread a particular behavior is66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The psychological mechanisms behind attitude changeB.Behavior is considered more moral the more common it isC.Our view of selfish and unselfish behaviorsD.Moral standards of selfish and unselfish behaviorsSection CDirections：Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank.Thereare two extra statements,which you do not need.FIVE W A YS TO KILL YOUR DREAMSI dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams.When we think about the dreams we have,and the footprint we want to leave in the universe,it is striking to see how big of an overlap thereis between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen.So I’m here to talk to you today about five wayshow not to follow your dreams.One:___67___.Y ou know the story,right?The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money.Y ou knowthe story may seem real,but I bet it’s incomplete.If you go investigate further,the guy has done30apps before andhe has done a master’s on the topic,a Ph.D.He has been working on the topic for20years.This is really interesting.I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success.I come from a humble family,and twoweeks before the deadline to apply to MIT,I started the application process.And,voila!I got in.People may thinkit’s an overnight success,but that only worked because for the17years prior to that,I took life and education seriously.You overnight success story is always a result of everything you’ve done in your life through that moment.Two:Believe someone else has the answers for you.Constantly,people want to help out,right?All sorts of people:your family,your friends,your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take:“And let me tell you,go through this pipe.”But wheneveryou go inside,there are other ways you have to pick as well.And you need to make those decisions yourself.___68___.And you need to keep picking those decisions,right?The pipes are infinite and you’re going to bumpyour head,and it’s a part of process.Three:Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.So when your life is going great,you have put together a great team,and you have growing revenue,and everything is set—time to settle.When I launched my first book,I worked really,really hard to distribute iteverywhere in Brazil.With that over three million people downloaded it,over50,000people bought physical copies.When I wrote a sequel,some impact was guaranteed.Even if I did little,sales would be okay.But okay is neverokay.When you’re growing towards a peak,you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.Maybe if I did little,a couple hundred thousand people would read it,and that’s great already.But if I work harderthan ever,I can bring this number up to millions.That’s why I decided,with my new book,to go to every singlestate of Brazil.And I can already see a higher peak.There’s no time to settle down.Four:Blame others for the fault.I constantly see people saying,“Y es,I had this great idea,but no investor had the vision to invest.”“Oh,I created this great product,but the market is so bad,the sales didn’t go well.”or“I can’t find good talent,my team is sobelow expectations.”___69___.Yes,it.May be hard to find talent.Yes,the market may be bad.But if no oneinvested in your idea,if no one bought your product,for sure,there is something there that is your fault.Definitely.You need to get your dreams and make them happen.And no one achieved their goals alone.But if you didn’t makethem happen,it’s your fault and no one else’s.Be responsible for your dreams.Five:Only pay attention to the dreams themselvles.Once I saw an ad,and it was a lot of friends,they were going up a mountain,it was a very high mountain and it was a lot of work.You could see that they were sweating and this was tough.And they were going up,and theyfinally made it to the peak.Of course,they decided to celebrate,right?I’m going to celebrate,so,“Yes!We madeit,we’re at the top!”Two seconds later,one looks at the other and says,“Okay,let’s go down.”Life is never aboutthe goals themselves.Life is about the journey.Yes,you should enjoy the goals themselves,but people think thatyou have dreams,and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams,it’s a magical place where happiness willbe all around.___70___.The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of yourjourney.That’s the best way.Ⅳ.Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea of the passage andhow it is e your own words as far as possible.It is university true that all parents in the world love their children.However,as parents'views of life vary,they show their love in different ways．The monarch type of parents are intolerant and self-centered.They lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe.Furthermore,they insist that their children should act upon them without question.With a firmbelief in their own philosophy of life,they have litter respect for others'opinions,least of all,their children's.Thesentence they say most frequently to their children is,“Y ou should do this.”Contrary to the monarch-type parents,the servant-type parents revolve around their children all the time.Theyare soft,good-nature,and easy-going.They never deny their children any wish,and cheerfully run to buy anythingtheir children ask for.They are happy so long as their children are content.With the sincere belief that love meanssacrifice,they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake.With their children at the center of their lives,The friends-type parents,as the term implies,treat their Children as friends.They are generous and wise.Like good friends,they discuss with their children the latest news,share their children's interests,and listen attentivelyto their children's expression of emotion,whether it is anger,fear,joy or sorrow.They have a close relationship withtheir children while sticking to their principled stand.They discuss problems with their children rather than provideready solution.They respect their children as their equals.They often say:“Let's put our heads together and seewhat we can do.”There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents,for a free,friendly,and sympathetic atmosphere at home is most favorable to the development of youngsters both in body and in mind.All parentsshould re-examine and change some of their ways of showing their love if they want their children to grow uphappily and healthily.第二卷Ⅴ.Translation.Directions：Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the

一中2021-2021学年高三英语上学期第12周周练题AAs smart devices continue to fill people’s daily life, the debate over their place in the classroom has grown increasingly. Now, a study conducted at the United States Military Academy just might put an end to it.In a recent investigation, researchers found that students who were permitted to use laptops or tablets in the classroom performed worse than those who did not—and those with higher initial GPAs(平均成绩) were most heavily affected.While some argue that laptops aid students in note-taking and comprehension, many say that they couldn’t pay attention to the lessons. To get to the bottom of the issue, researchers investigated the effect of laptops and tablets on student performance in a course at a school.In the study, the class was then divided into two treatment groups. The first treatment group was permitted to use laptops and tablets for purposes relating to their lesson. If the students were obviously distracted, professors could stop them from using the devices. In the second group, students could only use tablets, making the screen easily visible to the professors. When it came time for final exam scores, the researchers found that using a laptop or tablet in the classroom had caused a drop of roughly one-fifth of a standard. The results for the two treatment groups were nearly the same, they say.And, the negative effects were seen most heavily in male students. The estimated effects of the two treatment groups are nearly the same, suggesting thateven allowing students to use computer devices in a manner that is controlled by the professor can have harmful effects on classroom performance.The researchers say that both unrestricted and restricted use may affect students in a number of ways. It could lead to distractions, in which students are checking social media or even doing homework for another class, and it may reduce students’ abilities to effectively take notes.1.The underlined word “it〞 in the first paragraph may refer to ______.A.the deviceB.the debateC.the classroomD.the study2.Who suffered from the use of smart devices most in the study?A.The male students with higher GPAs.B.The students with poor academic performance.C.The students who could use laptops or tablets freely.D.The male students who could use laptops or tablets under control.3.What conclusion did the study draw?A.The professors had no effect on students’ scores.B.The first treatment group had a rise of the scores.C.The second treatment group did better than the first.D.The two treatment groups both saw a drop in the scores.4.What can be inferred from the text?ing laptops could help students perform better in a course.B.The negative effects of computer devices depended on gender.C.The distraction caused the drop of the students’ scores.D.Restricted use of laptops aided students in taking notes.BA machine that takes sweat-laden (浸满汗水的) clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified waterThe device was built for the United Nations’ child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by the engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show “Mekatronik〞. He said the key part of the sweat machine was a new water purification part developed by a company named HVR.“It uses a technique called membrane distillation (膜蒸馏),〞 he told the BBC. “We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other things out. They have something similar to the International Space Station, but our machine is cheaper to build. The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person’s T-shirt typically produces 10ml, about a mouthful.〞The device has been put on show at the Gothia Cup-the world’s largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-basedadvertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations.“People haven’t produced as much sweat as we hoped – right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy,〞 Mattias Ronge said. “So we’ve equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills.〞1. Which of the following is the disadvantage of the sweat machine?A. It takes too long for the machine to produce water.B. It costs a large amount of money to build the machine.C. The amount of water the machine produces is rather limited.D. The water processed by the machine is not clean enough.2. UNICEF is mentioned in the text to ________.A. show how the sweat machine worksB. tell us who invented the sweat machineC. show the importance of the United NationsD. explain why the sweat machine was invented3. What did Mattias Ronge think of the sweat machine?A. It did not work at all.B. It was not worth popularizing.C. It could only be used in summer.D. The water it produced tasted sweet.4.The text is written mainly to tell us that ______________.A. a better solution to purifying dirty water is discoveredB. 780 million people in the world lack access to clean waterC. a machine which turns sweat into drinking water is inventedD. the pill which turns dirty water into clean water is produced七选五Growing Minds Need Greener SpacesIt is not a secret that spending time outdoors is good for us.The more we learn about the benefits of being in nature, the more sense it makes to get outside.____9____.New research suggests that kids may learn better when they are surrounded by greener spaces.Green spaces are spaces filled with Vegetation-like trees,flowers and other plants.But these days,outdoor time is competing for a child’s attention with indoor activities.Children may find it difficult to resist computers,television and electronic games.____10___.All these indoor activities can hurt a child’s physical and mental health.Doctor Payam Dadvand and his team at the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona study the environment effects on health and learning.

2019-2020年高三上学期周练（12.16）英语试题含答案一、阅读理解Every Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services, a local retirement community in Brookfield, Illinois, US, with my classmates to do community service.After my very first visit to Cantata, my life changed forever. That may sound a bit dramatic, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25-30 students every time. We play board games and cards with the residents while we’re there.You c an watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”, but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there. Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.Whether it was talking to 98-year-old “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.Even the residents who don’t have amazi ng memories make the experience satisfying .I remember visiting Mrs Robinson. She couldn’t recall much about her past, but she told me she’d never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling (漫谈)”. It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living. That’s something I won’t forget anytime soon.If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it’s that presence –just being there –means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how busy our lives are, there’s always time to make someone’s day. For me, it feels great to be a source of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.It’s easy to feel like you don’t have anything in common with the elderly –especially when you’re a teenager. But that’s not true at all.I hate to be overly clichéd (陈词滥调的) here, but age really is just a number. As young adults, it’s important for us to realize this sooner rather than later. We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often benefit from teenagers too.1．What do the volunteers do according to the passage?A. They share everything with the residents.B. They play board games and cards with the residents.C. They watch the residents play games.D. They buy gifts for the residents.2．According to the writer, what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for the elderly?A. Playing with them.B. Benefiting from them.C. Helping them.D. Being there with them.3． What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage ?A. We don’t have anything in common with the elderly.B. Age is just a number.C. It is important to help the elderly.D. Young adults and the elderly can benefit from each other.I ran into a local store today to pick up a few things. With an important meeting to attend, I was in a hurry , so I didn’t take a cart (手推车) on my way inside. As I walked between the shelves in the store, I passed by a young couple and their baby. I continued going through the store, picked up a few items I needed and ended up standing behind this couple in the checkout line.While waiting, I noticed that the young father was holding his money tightly and nervously. The young mother was carrying a baby in her arms and asked the cashier (收银员) for a job application.When the total was rung up, they had to pick items out of their cart because they didn’t have enough money. But all their items were basic necessities(必需品) that they needed most. It just broke my heart to watch the couple try to think about what they could do without. However, they were able to whittle down their items and paid the bill with the money that they had.After they left, I quietly asked the cashier to add those items to mine. The cashier rang everything up, and then got me a shopping cart. We put in their items and I hurriedover to their car. “This is for you,” I told them.The young father just looked at me with such appreciation and thanked me. I will never forget the expression in his eyes. As I was getting into my car, they drove over. The young mother said, “Miss, thank you so much.”Tears welled up in my eyes---as they are again now, while I write this. “You are so welcome. Pay it forward some day,” I replied.4．The underlined phr ase “whittle down” in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________”.A. add toB. break downC. cut downD. pay for5．The author felt __________ to watch the couple taking some items out.A. sadB. angryC. excitedD. interested6． It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. the young father felt so sorry to accept helpB. the young mother didn’t have a job thenC. the cashier treated the young couple impolitelyD. the young couple bought something unnecessary7．The author’s main purpose in sharing the story is to tell us __________.A. what a great plan she madeB. to take a cart while shoppingC. how to pick out basic necessitiesD. to help those who are in needMalka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don’t see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.Malka had just given birth to another son. Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work, doctor’s visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.Malka knew her sister’s problem and was quite understanding. Sha indle and her husbandFeivel would be at the haptismal (洗礼) ceremony，of course.On the day of the haptism, Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka andher family. Malka’s mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at the hall. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister you are! Never oncedid you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears.The accusation（控诉） had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding.Poor Shaindle couldn’t calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness.She couldn’t look at Yehudit; it was just too painful for her to do so.The minute the words had escaped Yehudit’s mouth, she knew she had crossed a redline. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it wastoo late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddenlyturned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …8．Shaindle didn’t visit her sister after her sister gave birth because______________.A. she was jealous of her sisterB. she lived far from her sisterC. she was too busy to visit herD. she didn’t feel quite herself9．The underlined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means_____________.A. make fun of somebodyB. hurt somebody deeplyC. meet somebody by accidentD. be impolite to somebody10．We can learn from the last paragraph that_____________.A. Shaindle didn’t forgive Yehudit for many yearsB. Shaindle burst out anger at Malka’s mother-in-lawC. Yehudit didn’t realize how her words could affect ShaindleD. Shaindle couldn’t get rid of the bad memory for many years11．The purpose of the passage is to tell us ___________.A. words sometimes can really hurt usB. sisters should care for each otherC. we should forget unpleasant thingsD. two sisters’ different experiencesEvery one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought． Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way． The lack of punctuation marks probably didn’t bother good readers, thoug h． As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best． Also at this time, sentences switched directions． A sentence read from left to right． The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc． The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They put something that can separate words in a sentence． The word punctuation actually comes from thi s idea and the Latin word punctum, which means a dot.When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points． The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading． Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation． He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence． He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause． Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma (逗号).Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family． The exclamation mark (感叹号) comes from the Latin word io．It means “exclamation of joy.” The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio, meaning question． Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question. Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays． New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways．Take for example the “interrobang”． This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation markfor times when writers want both．For example, “She did what?” or “How much did you pay for that dress?” Obvio usly, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation. 12．From the first paragraph, we can know that _______.A． good readers had trouble reading without punctuation marksB． a sentence always read from left to right in ancient GreeceC． ancient Greeks switched the direction of punctuation marksD． the use of punctuation marks can date back to ancient times13．The passage is developed _______.A． by time B． by spaceC． by comparison D． by importance14．We can learn from the passage that _______.A．ancient Romans didn’t use any punctuation marksB． exclamation and question marks came from LatinC． spaces and slashes were already used before the 5th centuryD． Aldus Manutius first started to use commas15．What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A． The combination of two marks will not work.B． It takes time for people to accept new punctuation marks.C． Old punctuation marks need to be standardized.D． Punctuation marks are still changing today.二、完型填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A college student who is fascinated by nature．D. A high school girl who is interested in transportation．BA frog's jump is not as simple as it seems. Australian scientis ts have discovered that different species adopt different jumpi ng styles depending on their environment. Lead researcher, Miss Marta Vidal-Garcia(PhD candidate, Australian National University), found t hat tree dwelling frogs reached great heights but didn't cover much distance with their jumps. Aquatic frogs, meanwhile, ju mped very long distances but remained close to the ground. On the other hand, the jumps of burrowing frogs were low bot h in height and distance. The scientists used high speed vide o cameras to film the jumps of approximately 230 wild frogs, fr om 30 different species."We searched actively for the frogs at night after heavy rains during their breeding season, as they are more likely to be a ctive," Miss Vidal-Garcia said. The frogs were caught by hand and filmed in the field with two high-speed filming cameras in order to get a Three-Dimensional view of their jumps. The videos were then analyz ed frame by frame by computer software and variables includi ng height, distance and speed were measured. The results sh owed that frogs from different habitats adopt distinct jumping styles.Frogs from different habitats also had distinct shapes. "Burr owing frogs have very squat(蹲) bodies and short limbs," expl ained Miss Vidal-Garcia. "This is because they tend to occupy arid environment s so this helps to minimize water loss through their permeable (有渗透性的) skin. The aquatic frogs, however, have more streamlined bodies with longer limbs to improve swimming ability."Miss Vidal-Garcia added "In the future, I am hoping to do more fieldwork so that I can collect data from fifty species and cover all the A ustralian frog clades(分化枝). I also want to investigate how the shape of the pelvis(骨盆) influences jumping style."Which of the following factors is probably not linked to the jum ping styles of frogs?A. Pelvis shape.B. Species.C. Habitats.D. Skin feature.Which of the following statements is true?A. Tree dwelling frogs jump high and far.B. Burrowing frogs jump low and far.C. Aquatic frogs jump low and far.D.

Australian scientists have discovered that differe nt species adopt different jumping styles depending on their environment. Lead researcher, Miss Marta Vidal-Garcia(PhD candidate, Australian National University), found that tree dwelling frogs reached great heights but didn't cover much distance with their jumps. Aquatic frogs, meanwhile, jum ped very long distances but remained close to the ground. On the other hand, the jumps of b urrowing frogs were low both in height and distance. The scientists used high speed video ca meras to film the jumps of approximately 230 wild frogs, from 30 different species."We searched actively for the frogs at night after heavy rains during their breeding season, as they are more likely to be active," Miss Vidal-Garcia said. The frogs were caught by hand and filmed in the field with two high-speed filming cameras in order to get a Three-Dimensional view of their jumps. The videos were then analyzed frame by frame by compute r software and variables including height, distance and speed were measured. The results sh owed that frogs from different habitats adopt distinct jumping styles.Frogs from different habitats also had distinct shapes. "Burrowing frogs have very squat(蹲) bodies and short limbs," explained Miss Vidal-Garcia. "This is because they tend to occupy arid environments so this helps to minimize wat er loss through their permeable(有渗透性的) skin. The aquatic frogs, however, have more streamlined bodies with longer limbs to impr ove swimming ability."Miss Vidal-Garcia added "In the future, I am hoping to do more fieldwork so that I can collect data from fi fty species and cover all the Australian frog clades(分化枝). I also want to investigate how the shape of the pelvis(骨盆) influences jumping style." Which of the following factors is probably not linked to the jumping styles of frogs?A. Pelvis shape.B. Species.C. Habitats.D. Skin feature.Which of the following statements is true?A. Tree dwelling frogs jump high and far.B. Burrowing frogs jump low and far.C. Aquatic frogs jump low and far.D.
