She found a new home for George so that he could continue to race for a number of years.In September, 2018, George was turned over to the Animal Rescue League (ARL) of Boston. When he arrived at the league’s adoption center in Dedham, he was slightly underweight, and in need of medical care. But, over all, he was in good health, the league said.George recuperated (休养) for a few months in Dedham before being put into foster care. “He was highly intelligent, elegant, well-trained and had clearly known love. He was very engaged with humans,” Cordula Robinson, George’s foster parent, said in the statement.Robinson wanted to help George go home. She contacted animal rescue agencies up and down the East Coast to see if anyone recognized him. To her surprise, someone from New Jersey recognized George as once belonging to Todd Mathieson. He was well known and owned a stable in Connecticut, said Michael DeFina, a spokesman for the ARL. George is notable for his distinctive colors, such as white patches on his hooves (蹄子) that look “like socks,” DeFina said. They went through show photos to confirm George’s identity and contacted his original hostess.Diane Mathieson was “overwhelmed and ecstatic (欣喜若狂)” about the possibility of reuniting with George.After 13 years apart, George was transported to his family in Ocala, Florida, where he will enjoy his retirement. “He seem s to be walking taller,” D iane said.4．Why was George given away by his original family?A. He was a trouble-maker in the community.B. He often got lost for his poor memory.C. The family couldn’t provide enough care.D. His wife had found him a new home.5．What did Cordula Robinson do for George?A. Bring him to the adoption center.B. Help his reunion with the family.C. Take some show photos for him.D. Build an elegant stable for him.6．Who is the owner of George now?A. Todd Mathieson.B. Cordula Robinson.C. Michael DeFina.D. Diane Mathieson.7．What can we infer about George?A. He used to be a race horse.B. He enjoyed his retirement.C. He lost both of his parents.D. He was hard to recognize.CHere’s the list of skiers, who have won four consecutive (连续的) worldchampionships: Nobody.Well, nobody besides Mikaela Shiffrin, who did it last Saturday in Are, Sweden. The Colorado skier, still just 23, is the best story, really, of this sports winter in the slalom (障碍滑雪).She pulled it off, despite an illness that challenged her breathing. Shiffrin told NBC after her win that her mother, Eileen, advised her before her second run: You don’t have to do this.But Shiffrin told herself what she had told herself many times before: “I just need 60 seconds.” So she did it, and she got it. Shiffrin is closing in on her third World Cup overall title. She’s ranked No. 1 on the planet in slalom.In women’s skiing, the mountain is now Shiffrin’s. She’s ear ned it. Those two (and soon three) World Cup overalls; 56 World Cup individual victories; and, oh yeah, right, three Olympic medals, two of them gold. Shiffrin is already considered a serious threat to Ingemar Stenmark’s record of 86 World Cup victories, a nd Lindsey Vonn’s 82, though the 34-year-old surely would have collected more had she not suffered repeated injuries during her career. Of course, Shiffrin may wind up chasing someone else’s mark—Austria’s brilliant Marcel Hirscher, 29, now has 68 World Cu p wins.At the same time, Shiffrin loathes all the talk about the numbers and records. “People see the records and statistics. They are asking for more, more, more…it looks easy, but it isn’t. Nowhere close,” Shiffrin wrote. “What I see is training, sleepl ess nights, pain, doubt, delayed lights, canceled flights, lost luggage, expense, adventure, and some races mixed in there.”That’s what happens when you’re as good as she is. But nobody’s been as good as she is. In a sense, Shiffrin is just getting start ed. It’s very possible she will be at her peak powers when the Winter Olympics arrive in Beijing in 2022.8．What do we know about Mikaela Shiffrin in her recent slalom race?A. She was not in her best physical condition.B. She pulled out of the race in the second run.C. She followed her mother’s advice and succeeded.D. She told herself a one-minute story before the race.9．Whose record of World Cup victories is Mikaela Shiffrin getting close to?A. Eileen Shiffrin’s.B. Ingemar Stenmark’s.C. Lindsey Vonn’s.D. Marcel Hirscher’s.10．Which of the following best explains “loathes” underlined in paragraph 5?A. Summarizes.B. Gives away.C. Dislikes.D. Focuses on. 11．What is the best title for the text?A. Shiffrin Is Moving MountainsB. Shiffrin Is At Her PeakC. The Rise And Fall Of A Colorado SkierD. The Most Popular Winter SportsDA Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks.Engineers at the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Ltd. say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. A team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces.Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance cameras (监控摄像头).“When wearing a mask, the recognition rate can reach about 95 percent, whi ch canensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5 percent.Huang said Hanwang’s technology can be used to identify and track people as they move about. He added the system can identify crime suspects, terrorists or make reports or warnings.However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial informati on is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.It was not immediately clear how people were reacting to the new technology. While some have expressed opposition to such tools, many others seem to have showed interest in the new system and accepted it as a way to deal with the current health emergency—the spread of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒). Huang says he sees the interest likely expanding if the virus continues to spread and the use of face masks increases.12．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Where the company is located.B. How the system is developed.C. When the research work started.D. What the collection stands for.13．What is the limitation of the new facial recognition system?A. The poor storage of information.B. The relatively low recognition rate.C. Identifying people with both a mask and sunglasses.D. Tracking the movement of crime suspects and terrorists.14．What attitude does Huang Lei hold towards the new technology?A. Unclear.B. Optimistic.C. Opposed.D. Worried.15. Where is the text most likely from?A. A travel brochure.B. A health magazine.C. A medical paper.D. A science report.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Ethylene (乙烯)is the world's most popular industrial chemical. Consumers and industry demand 150 million tons every year, and most of it goes into countless plastic products, from electronics to textiles. To get ethylene, energy companies crack hydrocarbons (碳氢化合物)from natural gas in a process that requires a lot of heat and energy,(31) to climate change - causing emissions.Scientists recently made ethylene by combining carbon dioxide gas, water and organic molecules (分子)on the surface of a copper catalyst (催化剂)inside an electrolyzer - a device that uses electricity to drive a chemical reaction. The (32) , described last November online in Nature, could point the way toward using carbon dioxide as feed-stock for chemicals and potentially fuels, helping to reduce (33)on fossil fuels and to put a dent in industrial carbon emission.The discovery grows out of work published last year by University of Toronto engineer Ted Sargent, describing a similar process that used more electricity and was less (34) overall. So Sargent says he (35) out researchers at the California Institute of Technology who are "black belts in molecular design and synthesis."Caltech chemists Jonas Peters and Theodor Agapie and their colleagues experimented with organic molecules to add to the copper catalyst.

Are we anxious or depressed? Lonely, or stressed?Tim Lomas, a senior lecturer in positive psychology at the University of East London, is engaged in the opposite endeavor, 31 all the types of well-being that he can find. Specifically, Lomas is seeking to 32 psychological insight by collecting untranslated words that describe pleasurable fe elings we don’t have a(n)33 for in English. “It’s almost like each one is a window onto a new landscape.” Lomas says. So far, with the help of many contribute, he has amassed (积累) nearly 1000 in what he calls a “positive lexicography”--including the Dutch pretoogies, which refers to the twinkling eyes of someone engaged in benign mischief (恶作剧); The Arabic tarab, a word for musically induced ecstasy; And the Creole tabanca, which describes the 34 feeling of being left by someone you love.People are 35 with untranslatable words in part because they are useful: How else could we talk to each other about the guilty pleasure of schadenfreude? But Lomas also see them as a means of showing us “new possibilities for ways of living,” describing them as invitations for people to experience happy phenomena that may previously have had b een “hidden from them” or to revel in (沉浸于) feelings they couldn’t previously 36 . Consider the Japanese ohanami, a word for gathering with others to appreciate lowers.Linguists have long argued about how much the language we speak--partly 37 by factors like geography and climate--limits the thought we are capable of having or the actions we can take. The world in which different societies live are distinct worlds, not merely the same world with different labels 38 , “wrote the theorist Edw ard Sapir.”Perusing (研读) the words in Lomas’collection, at the least, is a means of meditating on ways that we can feel good. When asked for one of his Favorites, the psychologist lists the German Fernweh, which describes a 39 to travel to distant lands, a kind of homesickness for the unexplored. Also delightful is the Danish morgen frish, describing the satisfaction one gets from a good night’s sleep, and the Latin otium, 40 the joy of b eing in control of one’s own time.31. K 32. E 33.

However, not all of the present generation of schoolchildren may be able to look back on their sporting experiences with such fondness. There are growing fears, within independent schools in particular, that moves towards professional standards and a focus on winning may disagree with the ____12____ of school sports.The problem is, perhaps unsurprisingly, more prevalent in boys' sport, and especially so in rugby, where independent schools still provide the bulk of future England internationals. At the same time, there has been a surge in the number of schools offering scholarships to ____13____rugby players, driven by a desire to widen access, but also, on occasion, by a(n) ____14____that success on the playing field may be a potential marketing tool. One director of rugby at a top-performing school in the South-East reports that his star under-16 player was poached(挖走)by a rival school which offered him a full scholarship. ‘We weren’t pre pared to enter into a bidding war over a 15-year-old kid,’ he says rather pitifully.Chris Morgan, director of sport at Tonbridge, is a critic of these shifts towards becoming superstar sports schools, 'An increasing number of schools seem to be using sports scholarships as part of their business model,’ he says. ‘They place rugby above other sports as it seems to be more____15____in parents’ decision-making over which school they want to send their children to.’As a result, some of Morgan's counterparts at other independent schools feel under pressure to focus on winning rather than____16____ enjoyment. ‘If everything you put on your website is about which teams won, it is easy to see how coaches, boys and parents can think that results are the most import ant barometer of success.’Several coaches feel that their efforts to ____17____players’ enjoyment over results are at risk of being undermined by the temptation to see sport as an extension of academic league tables.One director of rugby told me that whenever they lose a game, his headmaster calls a meeting on the Monday morning in which he demands an explanation for the defeat. ‘The head can't understand that sport isn't just about winning,’ he says.So, with increasingly professional set-ups and a seeming ____18____with winning at all costs, has school sport lost its innocence?Certainly not, says Kevin Knibbs, Headmaster of Hampton School in South West London, and Chair of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference(HMC)Sports Sub-Committee ‘Indepen dent schools understand thatsport is hugely beneficial to young people.

The bad news: science shows that biodiversity is ___22___ worldwide at a faster rate than at any time in human history. That’s obviously devastating for everything in nature--including us.“If biodiversity disappears, so do people,” says Dr. Stephen Woodley, field ecologist and bio-diversity expert with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “We are part of the ___23___ and we do not exist without it.”Preventing such a catastrophe,says Woodley, begins with understanding why biodiversity is declining, and then taking action to ___24___ course.“The two greatest ___25___ of biodiversity loss are habitat loss, primarily on land, and overexploitation, primarily in the ocea n,” Woodley says. He expla ins that we can solve these problems by permanently ___26___ more lands and oceans and managing them for their conservation values.That's the mission of the global Campaign for Nature, a partnership of the Wyss Foundation and the National Geographic Society. Instead of simply protecting 30 percent of the Earth, the___27___ also encourages nations, in full partnership with local communities, to focus on the right 30 percent. Those areas, says Woodley, ___28___ the most important biodiversity, such as endangered species and ecosystems and rare species and ecosystems.The campaign also recognizes the importance of___29___ local rights. Local peoples manage or hold tenure(保有权) over lands that support about 80 percent of the world's biodiversity, making it ____30____ for these communities to be full partners in developing and implementing strategies.____31____, protecting the health of key biodiversity areas is vital for tackling climate change, says National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala.

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.(A)The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When 1 stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during“club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided tofollow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.A tough woman with salt-and pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a, journalist by profession.Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn't have become & reporter. She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.36. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.B. The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs.C. Hobbies and clubs were inaccessible to immigrants like the author.D. The author had no idea what hobbies and clubs were all about.37. Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?A. Stepping on the American soil for the first time.B. Being exposed to Greek literary works.C. Her mother's miserable death.D. Following the prettiest girl in his class.38. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 thatA. Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students.B. Miss Hurd's contribution was recognized across the nation.C. Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd's teaching style.D The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired.39. What is the text mainly about?A. How the author became a journalist.B. The importance of inspiration in one's life.C. The teacher who shaped the author's life.D. Factors contributing to a successful career.(B)HOW TO GET THEREBA and Royal Jordanian airlines fly direct between London H eathrow and Jordan’s capital city Amman (from £435; rj. com). Flight time is five hours.HOW TO GET AROUNDJordan is a joyfully easy country to travel around, in part due to its small size. You could drive from top to bottom in little over five hours if you wanted to. The national bus company has services between the main towns, and limited options to Petra and the Dead Sea. For full flexibility, you're better off hiring a car—roads are in good condition, and other drivers tend to be less manic (not stand up to free use of the car horn) compared to other countries in the Middle East. The traffic in Amman makes it frustrating, and nerve-wracking, to navigate, so pick up and drop off your car at the airport, a little outside of the city. The usual suspects hav e offices there (week’s hire from £235; hertz. jo).HOW LONG TO SPENDGiven the short travel times between major sites, you could feasibly whip around Jordan in little under a week, spending a night in each location. However, it’s important to factor in t he weather: your pace will slow in high temperatures, and you’ll find many Jordanians sensibly spending the hottest part of the day indoors, i ndulging in a long lunch. You’ll also want to devote a proper amount of time to each location: two or three nights in each of Petra and Wadi Rum will allow you to get to a few less explored corners, while two nights in Amman and one each at the Dead Sea and hot springs is about right. If you add in a side trip for some diving in the Red Sea, two weeks is plenty.WHAT TO BUDGETStaying in budget guesthouses, eating only from markets and street stalls, and using public transport, you could survive in Jordan on around £40 per day. Factor in a midrange hotel, car hire, guided tours and meals in local restaurants, and the figure could rise to £100-plus a day. The national currency is the dinar（第纳尔）, and is available from ATMs at all the main sites.WHEN TO GOHigh season is September to October and March to May, when the weather is warm but bearable. Note that price hikes are common in this period, and hotels get booked far in advance. One of the most pleasant times to visit is winter, from November to February, though be aware the desert gets very cold at night during this period. If you cantake the extreme temperatures of summer, it can be an excellent time to travel, with fewer tourists around.HOW TO PLANSee Lonely Planet’s Jordan and the Jordan tourist board’s official site, , which has a wealth of information on general travel in the region and specific sites.40. Which of the following statements is True about travelling in Jordan according to the passage?A. Drivers in Jordan use car horn more freely than those in other countries.B. It's better to drive your own car since the traffic in Amman is frustrating.C. Weather should be taken into consideration when you arrange holiday.D. Diving in Red Sea is a must if you plan to travel in Jordan for one week.41. Which factor is NOT related with the budget according to the passage?A. To choose what kind hotels.B. To eat what kind of food.C. Whether to use cash or not.D. When to travel in Jordan.42. The word “hikes” in paragraph 5 can be best replaced by the word “”.A. declinesB. risesC. variesD. collapses（C）First two hours, now three hours—this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight, at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security protocols in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804, which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea, provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans' economic and private lives, not to mention making people angry.Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons — both fake and real — past airport security nearly every time they tried. Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago's O'Hare International. It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become — but the lines are obvious.Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes.Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check are qualifies to use expedited (加速的) screening lanes. This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk, saving time for everyone involved. TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock: Passengers must pays 85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.43. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to .A. stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwideB.highlight the necessity of upgrading major U.S. airportsC. explain American's tolerance of current security checksD. emphasize the importance of privacy protection 44. Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports? A. Frequent unexpected secret checks. B. New restrictions on carry-on bags. C. The declining efficiency of the TSA. D. An increase in the number of travellers. 45. One problem with the PreCheck program is . A. a dramatic reduction of its scale B. its wrongly-directed implementation C. govemment’s reluctance to back it D. an unreasonable price for enrollment 46. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Less Screening for More Safety B. PreCheck-a Belated SolutionC.

Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in disco ntent, “ Why? Why? Why? ”Fortuna tely, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them. “ The great man,” said Mencius(孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart. “Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. ______48______We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. ______49______How should you start? Modest ly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any tim e? ______50______Harriet Stowe,mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.A. We stop challenging custom.B. That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done.C. Either curiosity or discontent makes human being move forward.D. These deep human urges count for much more than ambition.E. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.F. Discontent made the great names unsatisfied.IV. Summary Writing51. Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Vacations are a chance to take break from work, see the world and enjoy time with family. But do they make you happier? Researchers from the Netherlands set out to measure the effect that vacations have on overall happiness and how long it lasts. They studied happiness levels among 1, 530 Dutch adults, 974 of whom took a vacation during the 32-week study period. The study showed that the largest lift in happiness comes from the simple act of planning vacation. In the study, the effect of vacation expectation lifted happiness for eight weeks.After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people. How much stress or relaxation a traveler experienced on the trip appeared to influence post-vacation happiness. There was no post-trip happiness benefit for travelers who said the vacation was “neutral” or “stressful.”Surprisingly, even those travelers who described the trip as “relaxing” showed no additional jump in happiness af ter the trip. “They were no happier than people who had not been on holiday,” said the lead author, Jeroen Nawijn, tourism research lecturer at Breda University. The only vacationers who experienced an increase in happiness after the trip were those who re ported feeling “very relaxed” on their vacation. Among those people, the vacation happiness effect lasted for just two weeks after the trip before returning to baseline levels.One reason vacations don’t increase happiness after the trip may have to do wit h the stress of returning to work. And for some travelers, the holiday itself was stressful. “In comments from people, the thing the y mentioned most referred to disagreements with a travel partner or being ill,” Mr. Nawijn said.Since most of the happiness boost comes from planning and expecting a vacation, the study suggests that people may get more out of several small trips a year than one big vacation, Mr Nawijn said.____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________V.

If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded. When the driver gets， a certain number of points, he will be forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time.What are the purposes of this system?This is a system designed to make roads safer. It can improve standards (水平)of driving and reduce the accident rates.Which traffic offences will result in Driving Offence Points?Of course, not all traffic offences are covered by this system. Only those that have direct effect (影响) on road safety are included. There are altogether fourteen items.What will happen if you have got up to 10 points?If you have got 10 points or above, but still less than 15 points, you will receive a warning letter from the Transport Department. This letter will tell you your record of Driving Offence Points and remind you of the result of getting more points—It is hoped that this warning will change your driving behavior for the better.What will happen if you have got 15 points?If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will takeaway your driving license. The first time you are found guilty (有罪的) you will not be able to drive for 3 months, but if you are caught a second time, you will not be able to drive for 6 months.44.

Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers．Do their unchanged styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide．49．Designers and big stores always make money_____．A．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B．because they are capable of predicting the new fashionC．by constantly changing the fashion in women’s clothingD．because they always improve the quality of women’s clothing 50．To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dress is seen as_____．A．a quality of instability B．a waste of time and moneyC．an expression of taste D．an expression of creativity 51．The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the_____．A．cost B．appearance C．fort D．suitability 52．By saying “ the conclusions to be drawn are obvious”, the writer means that_____．A．women’s changeableness in their choice of clothing was often laughe d atB．women are better able to put up with disfortC．men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD．men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion答题纸班级：姓名：V．单词拼写（每小题1分，共计11分）53.

2021年河南省实验中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ATheBest Placeto Camp in Each StateWashington-SecondBeach, Olympic National ParkCampers put up their tents right on the sand of thisPacific Northwestbeach. Make a campfire, photograph sunset over the sea and try to absorb this charming spot with your entire being.Alaska-Bartlett Cove Campground, Glacier (冰川) Bay National ParkIn a state full of natural riches,Glacier Bayis a wonder, home to high peaks, whales, 700 miles of coastline, and light blue glaciers that flow directly into the sea. Set within temperate rainforest along Bartlett Cove, the park's only campground is impressively green and an easy jumping-off point for boat tours.Arizona-Havasupai Campground, Havasupai ReservationGetting to Havasupai is a challenge. Permits are snatched (剥夺) up almost instantly, and even if you get one it's a 10-mile hike from the border to reach this rural campground that hugs Havasu Creek. Make the journey, however, and you're rewarded with a series of great waterfalls and natural pools.Arkansas-BuffaloNationalRiverAmerica's first national river travels 135 miles through the Ozark Mountains, winding its way over rapids, forming peaceful pools and passing rocky cliffs topped by green forest. Plan a float trip and absorb the scenery ata leisurely pace, pausing for hikes to visitLostValley's caves or the 200-foot waterfalls.1.Which state may attract people preferring glaciers?A.Alaska.B.Washington.C.Arizona.D.Arkansas.2.What makesArizonaa popular camp choice among tourists?A.The blue glaciers and green rainforests.B.The winding national river and cliffs.C.The soaring peaks and long coastline.D.The beautiful waterfalls and pools.3.What can you do when camping inArkansas?A.Take a long trip on foot.B.Visit caves and waterfalls.C.Put up a well-equipped tent.D.Enjoy a view of sunset.BFor as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self­improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self­reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self­hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. She could change her weight at will.B. She had different beauty standards from others.C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.D. She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.5. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”?A. She was poorly disciplined.B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”．C. She was labelled as lazy for her weight.D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.6. What caused the author to make a change?A. Her lighter body.B. A troublesome illness.C. Popular beauty standards.D. Others' critical comments.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Beauty matters.B. Opinions vary.C. Worth your weight.D. Beyond your limits.CJeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Richard Branson have a combined net worth of 400 billion, roughly the size of the GDP of the entire nation of Ireland. And all three men have decided to put vast sums of their wealth into chasing their space travel dreams, creating a modern space race in which ultra — rich men — rather than countries — shoot for the stars.But why the three billionaires choose the crazy plan? Just for the travel dreams? It’s not that simple.As we all know, the space travel is a mirror of comprehensive national strength, whether it’s the cold war or the present. The first space racespannedmultiple presidents and premiers — Kennedy, Krushchev, Brezhnev, Nixon. It made heroes of astronauts and cosmonauts, and it focused national prides. But obviously, this year’s race between the billionaires features none of that national pride or opposing ideas. It’s tax — averse tycoons (大亨) who want to sell high — priced tickets to rich people interested in experiencing weightlessness. Amazon’s Bezos has said he is funding his portion by selling off large chunks of his Amazon stock (股票) — 1 billion or more a year.What are the odds? If anyone is taking bets on how this will end, and who will have the more profitable space tourism business, consider Amazon’s method of making very little profit in order to eat up competition. So, from this point of view, what’s hiding behind this crazy race is business. As a method of expand influence, it is not a bad idea.Richard Branson has carried out his plan on July 12, and Jeff Bezos announced that he will start his space travel on July 20. Bezos is getting some good press because he’s taking Wally Funk along for the ride. She’s the pilot now in her 80s who was kept out of space in the 1960s because she’s a woman. This may be a bonus for him. As for Musk, he thinks these two above are not real space trips, he wants a larger move.Who will win the race in the end? Let’s wait and see.8. Which of the following people might be the potential client of the space travel?A. Daisy aged 45 with a heavy debt.B. Clarkson who doesn’t enjoy taking risks.C. Billy aged 60 with an ample retirement pension.D. Alexander who knows nothing about space travel.9. What stopped Wally Funk flying to space in the 1960s?A. Age.B. Gender.C. Height.D. Disposition.10. What does the author think of the billionaires race?A. Profit — driven.B. Meaningless.C. Foolish.D. Generous.11. What does the underlined word “spanned” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Revolved.B. Turned down.C. Entered.D. Leapt through.DAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评家)seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buyor sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!12. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Advertisements steal money from our pocketsB. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. Advertisements are everywhere.13. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?A. He appreciates the role of advertisements.B. He doubts the effect of advertisements.C. He believes what is said in advertisements.D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life.14. Which of the following is Not True?A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature.B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it.D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.15. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5)A B.C.

辽宁省某校2021学年高三10月月考英语试题一、阅读选择)1. I used to be crazy about the hunting season． The excitement of waiting for a prey（猎物）and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me． However, everything changed after that cold morning．Early on that day of the late fall, I set off alone for the woods, packing a gun, a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches． After finding the fresh deer's tracks in the snow, I settled down behind a little bush．I sat there for about an hour． It was then that I saw him． A deer, a big beautiful deer! There was no cover nearer to him than 30 yards． Surely I couldn't miss! I waited for him to realize I was there． I waited for him to be shocked and run away． But he fooled me completely． He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid how else can you explain it? Well, that deer walked right up to where I was sitting． Then he stopped and looked at me!What happened next is hard to believe, but it's true． And it all seemed quite natural． Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you, I reached up and scratched （挠）his head． And he liked to be scratched． In fact, he practically asked for more． Then, I fed him my sandwich! Yes, I know what a deer eats, but that deer ate my sandwich Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail． Shoothim? Not me． You wouldn't have either, not after that I just watched him go．When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam（撞击） a few seconds later． Those two shots usually mean a kill． I had forgotten there were other hunters that day．Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head．（1）Why didn't the author kill the deer？________A.

The cold and icy land that is the Eskimo's home is a dangerous one． The Eskimo once believed that to be safe from danger he had to obey taboos（禁忌）． Taboos were rulesthat told him what he must do and must not do．The Eskimo had taboos connected with almost everything he did． He had to keep themin mind at all times． He believed that to break one would bring disaster． For the Eskimo, it was taboo to store reindeer（驯鹿） and seal （海豹） meat together． He could not even eat them on the same day． He believed the Goddess Sedna had separated the land animals from the sea animals． He thought bringing them together would causethe hunting to be bad．There were other taboos concerning animals． When a dead seal was brought into the house, the women had to stop working． They had to give its spirit a drink of water． Ifthey did not, the spirit would be angered． It would keep other animals from being caught． When the Eskimo broken a taboo, he believed a black cloud formed around his head． He had to tell the others in the village what he had done． He thought that if he did not tell his neighbors, they would catch the black cloud． Then the whole village would have bad luck．（1）This passage mainly tells us about________．A.the way the Eskimos treated their neighboursB.the things that the Eskimos could and could not doC.how the Eskimos store their seal meatD.how the Eskimos got along with others．（2）Why did the Eskimos separate reindeer and seal meat？________A.They went bad easily if they were kept together．B.They thought keeping them together caused bad hunting．C.The Eskimos did not like to eat reindeer or seal meat．D.They did not have big enough rooms to store them．．（3）From the third paragraph we can see that________．A.the spirit of the dead seal enjoyed drinking waterB.the spirit of the dead seal would be angry if he was not given waterC.the seal was dead， but its spirit was still aliveD.the Eskimos believed that animals had spirits．（4）Which of the following is true？________A.There are many black clouds where the Eskimos live．B.The Eskimos like land animals better than sea animals．C.Taboos are of great importance to some people．D.The Eskimo taboos are about everything on earth．3. Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device（设备） may be turning friends away from your home． The elephant in your living room is your Internet﹣connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes． But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests． Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they're being recorded while you all watch the big game together?"It's certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to fix, " says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America's distinguished manners advisors． " I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it's not a security issue． "Post wants to make clear that she's not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference．When it comes to security cameras, Post says it's a host's responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home． If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable．However, if a contractor（合约工）is working in your home, you don't need to tell them that there are cameras watching． Then again, the camera can also work in contractors' favor． "If anything does go wrong while they're in the house, they don't want to be blamed for it, " she says． "In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn't steal the ﹩20, or knock the vase off the table．（1）The visitors arc concerned that the security camera may________．A. threaten their healthB. spoil their peace of mindC. disturb their privacyD.affect their preference．（2）What is a host's responsibility concerning the security camera？________A.

It can record their working progress．D. It can make their work more enjoyable．．（4）What's the author's attitude towards the security camera？________A. Negative．B. Pessimistic．C. Favorable．D. Objective．4.I'm not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them—to be honest. We'd have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they're thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you'd find him warn, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize he's an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He'd pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man—and then write about it.Take Andy. You won't find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he's a CEO without a company to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He's doing well—level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he's playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you've run four companies—and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.In real life, I don't see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They're nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.I'm left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic（狂人）on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he's at a party and the wine isn't up to his standards?（1）What's Andy probably busy in doing now?A.He's running his company.B.He's playing golf all day.C.He's looking for another job.D.He's playing computer games.（2）According to the text, Facebook tends to ________.A.present another side of peopleB.offer some food for freeC.show endless advertisementsD.get you to more parties（3）The text is developed mainly by _______.A.giving examplesB.following the time orderC.listing figuresD.raising questions（4）The author focuses on the question of ________.A.what is FacebookB.what happened to golfC.who is my real friendD.who can help me二、七选五)5. 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。
