Fairy tale（童话） fiction or not?One hot debate topic from I Can I Bibi （《奇葩说》） has become popular onWeibo: Should parents tell their children that fairy tales are fake（假的）? Some people think we shouldn't． Fairy tales give kids hope and teach life lessons． But others think that children need the ability to distinguish （区分） real from fake, and this role is best playedby their parents． What's your opinion?YESHu Enqi, 16There is no doubt that the world of fairy tales is beautiful, but the real world is cruel （残酷的）． If children are always deep in fairy tales, they might not adjust（调节） themselves to society． That's why there are so many "giant babies" in society． It is parents' duty totell children that beauty and darkness are coexistent（共存的）． They need to be strongerto adapt to （适应） society．Li Ziyi, 16It's important to tell kids the wisdom in fairy tales, not whether or not they're fake． If I'm a parent, I will tell my kids: "Dear, the Queen's poisoned apple is fake, but in our daily lives, fake apples may be many other seductions （诱惑） that you need to be careful of．" Fairy tales can never solve all problems． After all, dangers are always present in both fairy tales and reality （现实）．NOYuan Siyi, 16Not every fairy tale is fake ﹣ they're from our lives． The essence （本质） of fairy talesis to teach children the most basic truths based on the real world． The content of fairy talesis not meaningless． Parents could look on them as partners to children when they grow up．Children will understand the truth step by step．Hu Pei, 16As a kid bathed in fairy tales, I don't want to be told that they are fake． Fairy tales getkids to read, help shape their world outlook, encourage their imaginations and give them entertainment． Even if parents tell the kids the cruel reality, they may miss thepoint． Instead, they may be filled with fear of the future and the world, which is not our purpose．（1）According to the passage， "the giant babies" are________．A those babies who can't grow upB those babies who are big in shapeC those adults who can adapt to society wellD those adults who can't distinguish real from fake．（2）According to Li Ziyi，________．A we shouldn't tell children fairy tales are fakeB some fairy tales have wisdom while others don'tC there are many dangers in different shapes in realityD "poisoned apples" needn't be afraid of because they are fake．（3）From the passage， we can know________．A in fairy tales everything is beautiful and goodB fairy tales can give kids hope and teach life lessonsC fairy tales have nothing to do with the real worldD fairy tales mainly need to tell kids cruelty of reality．18. Nowadays, it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals （目标） that we set for ourselves． Luckily, we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and Get Abstract to provide abstracts （梗概） of a text． Abstracts are useful tools, especially for students, but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you, you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original （原来的） text of yourself．I recently finished reading a thick book of W． Somerset Maugham's collected short stories． It took me around ten years to get through． Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read; Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me verybored most of the time． Reading a book, whether it is good or bad, is a formative （建设性的） experience． There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read． But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort．Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it, I like to sit there and thinkover its lines with a mix of nostalgia （怀旧之情） and pride． I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf． When I step back and look at the books on my shelf, it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived．Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end, but reading the actual （真正的） book is something much richer． Reading, like anything else in life, is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination （目的地）．（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？________A Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature．B Reading abstractscannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading． C Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages． D The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading．．（2）What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph？________A He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories．B A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him．C He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books．D He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book．．（3）In the third paragraph the writer________ his main point of view （主要观点）．A explains the meaning ofB provides further support forC makes a conclusionof D offers an opposite example for．19. Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age． Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity （邻近） more than anything else． Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests． It's the people they really sit next to Clearly, who stands to you has the greatest influence on you．As Jim Rohn has widely said． "You are average （平均） of five people you spend the most time with．"Over the past ten months, I've paid Ryan, it Famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I'm writing． Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are． For example, every time I send him a drab （草稿）, he shows me how it could be 10 times better, and he holds me to that standard．_____ It's because that I don't know what I don't know． Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful．Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have．He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers．He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years．Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection （反映） on him． It's not a bad thing because ________ creates high pressure （压力） to help me make great progress in organizing author training．In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential．Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change．If you don't change your environment, your progress will be very slow．Who you stay with has huge importance．You can't ignore this．（1）Why did the writer quote （引用） Jim Rohn's words in Paragraph 1？________A To support the writer's opinion．B To introduce the writer's best friend．C To show Jim Rohn's working ability．D To prove Jim Rohn is a great person．．（2）Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3？________A It's not that my workmates' abilities are low．B It's not that my working ability was born low．C It's not that's friends based on proximity．D It's not that I've paid Ryan to help me with my book．．（3）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to （指代）？________A The writer's performance．B Jim Rohn's famous saying．C Richard's different experience．D Richard's strictness with the writer．．（4）The writer mainly wants to tell us that________．A we can improve our working abilities by ourselvesB we must pay attention to our talent and potentialC we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levelsD we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests．四、词汇运用（本大题共4小题；每小题1分，满分4分）（A）根据句意和汉语注释，在对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式．20.

He has let me use his ranch to raise money for youth at risk programs.The last time I was there he told me his story. When he was young, his family is too 11 to have a house to live in. When he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 12 he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday 13 a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great 14 and he even drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class. " Roberts went to see the teacher and asked, "Why did I receive an F?" His teacher said, "This is a(an) 15 dream for a young boy like you. Having a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There's no way you could ever do it. " Then the teacher added, "If you will rewrite this paper with a more possible goal, I will reconsider your _16_ . "The boy went home and thought about it for a 17 and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, "Look, son, you have to 18 your own mind on this. " Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no 19 at all. He told his teacher,"You could keep the F and I will 20 keep my dream.

It is a small town but it is near a very big river called Mississippi. This is a story of a journey that I made down the river on a raft and the adventures I had on the way.It all started when my best friend, Tom Sawyer and I found $12,000 in a cave. That money made us rich. We got $6,000 each. Judge Thatcher, an important man in St. Petersburg, put it in the bank, and now we get a dollar a day interest(利息).Then a kind old lady called Widow Douglas invited me to live with her.

But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications(应用程序) that look like video games, but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning(旋转的) object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign languages, or just about anything, and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don't even realize how much they are learning!So the next time you have to choose betwee n making your child study or letting them play a game, just remember…they could do both at the same time!1．What can be added to the school thing list according to the passage?A．An iPad.B．An English textbook.C．A pencil.D．A whiteboard.2．What does the u nderlined word “tablet” probably mean in Chinese in this passage?A．药片B．掌上电脑C．牌匾D．桌子3．Futaba is ________．A．an old kind of classroomB．a new outdoor activityC．a new educational applicationD．a very old tool of teaching4．How many children can take part in one Futaba game at a time?A．7.

He wished to make it a forest.The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees.He never watered his new trees.Once I asked why,he said,“If you water them,each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker. Otherwise,they will have to grow deep roots to look for water under the earth by themselves.”He planted some oaks, and instead of watering them every morning,he beat them with a rolled-up newspaper.I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the trees’ attention.Dr Gibbs died two years after I left home.I always walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant about twenty –five years ago.They’re very big and strong now.I also planted two trees several years ago.I carried water to them for a whole summer.I sprayed(喷洒)them.However,after two years of caring too much,whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.Life is hard,whether we want it to be or not. What we need to do is try our best to make our roots reach deep into the brave heart,so when the rain falls and the wind blows,we could face them strongly and won’t be beaten down.1．Which of the following about Dr Gibbs is true according to the passage?A．He was strict with his neighbors.B．He was a doctor before he retired.C．He wanted to be a gardener after he retired.D．He liked planting flowers in his garden.2．How did Dr Gibbs treat his trees?A．He sprayed them.B．He shook them a lot.C．He watered them every morning.D．He sometimes beat trees with a rolled-up newspaper.3．Why did Dr Gibbs treat his trees in that way?A．Because he wanted to make them grow better.B．Because he wanted to work off his anger.C．Because he didn’t care about them at all.D．Because he wanted to make experiments on them.4．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．We should try our best to make ourselves strong enough to beat difficulties.B．We should beat trees with rolled-up newspapers.C．We can’t grow up without our parents’ care.D．We shouldn’t water the new trees.D16、The world is not only hungry, but it is al so thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% fresh water from rivers, lakes，underground and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly, almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage(缺少)later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting ourvaluablewater. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use o f sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.1．The world is thirsty for water because_____________.A．man hasn’t got enough food to eatB．we haven't got enough fresh waterC．only 70% of the earth's surface is waterD．more water is sent into sewer systems2．The underlined word valuable means _____________.A．much and salty B．fresh and enoughC．dear and useful D．clean and helpful3．What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water?a.

Drink and use a11 the water on the earth's surface.A．c and e B．a and d C．a, c and d D．b, d and e4．The best but the most difficult way to solve the water problem of the world is to ___________.A．remove the salt from sea water B．make the water in cities cleanC．take water from underground D．make the need for water smaller5．What's the best title for this passage?A．The Importance of the Water.

Until years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computerengineer. He only wrote science fiction after work. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life---wander (漫步) in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away. But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t thought of becoming the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C．Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won th e award. In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens coming to the Earth. And in The Wandering Earth. Liu shows us the day when our planet comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, Liu’s works, which a ren’t simply daydreams, are popular among the people who are unsure of the future. “People are locked in this small box of reality (现实), but science fiction is a way to open our minds”, said Liu.1．What do we know about Liu Cixin?A．He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.B．He once wandered in space and fought with aliens.C．He has won the Arthur C．Clarke Award several times.D．He is a computer engineer as well as a full-time writer now.2．We can learn from Paragraph 3 that The Wandering Earth .A．talks about the meanings of lifeB．makes Liu very popular among adultsC．is about many aliens coming to the EarthD．is about looking for a place outside the Earth3．What is the passage mainly about?A．Liu’s working experiences.B．Liu’s powerful imagination.C．Liu’s meeting with Obama.D．Liu’s works and achievements.Ⅴ.书面表达19、今天，你与妈妈在家里后电视新闻时，了解到我国刚刚颁布了对公共场馆的全面“禁烟令”。

I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learnand think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.4. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?A. She was tired.B. She failed in a test.C. She was late for school.D. She had to walk home by herself.5. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?A. Terrible.B. Meaningful.C. Embarrassing.D. Colorful.6. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. gave in to meB. said yes to meC. stayed in the placeD. kept to her idea7. What is the best title for the text?A. My Way of GrowingB. The Value of FailureC. My Love for MotherD. Failure in My LifeCIt is essential that students have a category of school-related activities they can participate in. These activities can range from activities during normal school hours to after-school activities. No matter the time, these activities should be available to every student, and at Victory Pioneers International Schools (V.P.I.S) it is encouraged that every student participate in at least one activity, educational and recreational.One of the primary reasons school activities are important at V.P.I.S. is because it gives students the exercise they might not normally receive. Most popularly, these types of activities include major sports such as football, basketball, baseball, tennis, track and field and soccer but also might include gymnasium games and other games.Activities during V.P.I.S. also make a good impression on colleges if students are planning to pursue more education. Colleges look for students who do not just go to school and go home after school. These activities range from participating in clubs and sports to volunteering after school at a recreation center or having a part-time job. If a college sees you maintained good grades while participating in these activities, it will be impressed.V.P.I.S. activities also allow students to be creative. Gifted-and-talented activities allow gifted students to participate in what they otherwise would never have experienced in the classroom. They are a great way to allow students to be creative. Additionally, participating in clubs such as drama that appeal to students’ interest also allows them to expand their knowledge and be creative.Students also can have their interests expanded by participating in activities. These activities could consist of anything, such as joining the Future Business Leaders, the school’s debate team and the chess team, to name a few. By participating in these activities, a student might realize he is interested in something he never knew he was interested in before.8. What can we learn about activities at V.P.I.S.?A. Not every student has access to them.B. Students are required to take part in them after school.C. They give students exercise that might not be got in other schools.D. Educational activities are more popular with the students.9. What benefits can the students get from the activities?A. They can get extra grades when applying for colleges.B. They will become more gifted and talented .C. They may expand their knowledge in drama.D. They may better know their own interests.10. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A. The Benefits of V.P.I.S. ActivitiesB. School-related Activities at V.P.I.S.C. Colleges Need Creative StudentsD. Activities Make You Creative11. Where is the passage probably from?A. A scientific magazine.B. A college application guideline.C. A club introduction.D. The website of V.P.I.S.DThefirst thing we notice about new people are their faces. The next time we see these people, we remember them because we remember their faces. This seems like a simple process. However, scientists found that it is not such a simple process. The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people. Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.Normal babies are born with a natural ability to recognize faces. In fact, their face recognition abilities are much better than their parents. Babies are most highly skilled at face recognition at six months. But by nine months, they lose this skill. By nine months, a baby’s face-recognition skills are about the same as an adult’s.Unfortunately, some people are not born with this ability to recognize faces. The part of the brain that isresponsible for face recognition doesn’t work for them. This condition is called face blindness. People with very severe face blindness cannot even recognize their own faces. In fact, people with this condition can sometimes be frightened when they look in the mirror. They don’t recognize their own face, so for a second they are startled when they see this unfamiliar face.Face blindness is not always severe. Scientists believe up to 10 percent of the population may be affected by face blindness to some degree, yet many people with mild face blindness might not even know they have it. They have no reason to know they are different from anyone else until someone points it out. This is similar to people with color1 blindness. Colorblind people can’t see the difference between certain color1 s such as red and green, until someone tells them that green and red are two different color1 s.There is no cure for face blindness. So for the time being, people with face blindness need to find simple techniques to compensate for their problem. They can try to recognize people by their hairstyle, their voice, or their glasses. Hopefully, in the future as scientists learn more about this condition, they may find a cure.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The way to improve one’s face-recognition skills.B. The simple process of the brain to recognize others’ faces.C. The fact that some people have face-recognition problems.D. The importance of face recognition in human communication.13. When do children have the best face-recognition skills?A. At birth.B. Half a year old.C. Nine months old.D. In adolescence.14. What does the underlined word “startled” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. Depressed.B. Confused.C. Embarrassed.D. Surprised.15. What does the author think of the problem of face blindness?A. People need to take it seriously.B. Certain techniques can make up for it.C. It will be cured in the near future.D. It has the same effect with color1 blindness.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年江苏省江阴市青阳中学高三英语月考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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AExperts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind theUSas one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global methane emissions. While cowsare the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed. With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already decreasing natural resources. While going vegetarian would help, meat consumption is too deep-rooted in most Western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1,700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, over 2 billion people worldwide consume insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in protein, have very few calories, and are free of the saturated fat found in animal meat. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can use them to cook protein-rich soup, make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat insects--- both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!1. Which of the following animals contribute the most to global methane emissions?A. Sheep.B. Donkeys.C. Cows.D. Pigs.2. How is the third paragraph developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By providing examples.C. By listing data.D. By asking questions.3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Few people eat insects regularly.B. Ordinary insects are high in fat.C. Insects contain various vitamins.D. Saturated fat is harmful to health.BOwning a dog is associated with a significantly lower risk of heart disease and death, according to a comprehensive new study published by a team of Swedish researchers on Friday in the journal Scientific Reports.The scientists followed 3.4 million people over the course of 12 years and found that adults who lived alone and owned a dog were 33 percent less likely to die during the study than adults who lived alone without dogs. In addition, the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely to die from heart disease.“Dog ownership was especiallyprominentas a protective factor in persons living alone, which is a group reported previously to be at higher risk of heart disease and death than those living in a multi-person household,” Mwenya Mubanga, a Ph.D. student at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, and the lead junior author of the study, said in a statement announcing its findings. The link between dog ownership and lower mortality(死亡率)was less pronounced in adults who lived either with family members or partners, but still present, according to the study. “Perhaps a dog may stand in as an important family member in the single households,” Mubanga added. “Another interesting findingwas that owners of dogs which were intended originally for hunting were most protected.”The study, which is the largest to date on the health relations of owning a dog, suggested that some of the reasons dog owners may have a lower risk of mortality and heart disease were because dog owners walk more. “These kind of epidemiological (流行病学的)studies look for associations in large populations but do not provide answers on whether and how dogs could protect their owners from heart disease,” Tove Fall, a senior author of the study and a professor at Uppsala University, said in a statement“We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity, which could be one explanation to the observed results,” Fall added. “Other explanations include an increased well-being and social contacts or effects of the dog on the bacterial microbiome(微生物菌群) in the owner.” Fall added that because all participants of dog owners in Sweden or other “European populations with similar culture regarding dog ownership.”4. Why did the researchers do the study related to 3.4 million people’s health and the dogs?A. To help Europeans,B. To find their association.C. To protect unhealthy adults.D. To reduce risk of heart disease.5. What does the underlined word “prominent” probably mean in Para.3?A. Universal.B. Confusing.C. Appealing.D. Important6. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Adults living with dogs are less likely to die.B. Swedish people are very fond of animal pets.C. Keeping a dog is a popular and healthy hobby.D. Owning dogs reduces the risk of heart disease.7. What’s the writer’s attitude towards owning a dog?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Contradictory.CHave you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How annoying! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic (基因的) factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines thatcan target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the numbers of people who are overweightcontinues to grow. In theUnited States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.8. According to the scientists, some people ________.A. are able to stay thin because of genetic factorsB. can eat what they want and stay healthy foreverC. usually keep doing exercise to lose their weightD. don’t eat anything every day but still put on weight9. Some people don’t need to worry about weight problems because ________.A. they eat many vegetablesB. they eat less than othersC. they don’t store any energy from food as fatD. they can burn off the extra food without making fat10. What can we learn from the passage?A. Fewer people will have weight problems in the future.B. People with weight problems may suffer from heart trouble.C. We now have good medicine for people with weight problems.D. The result of the experiments on mice and humans are different.11. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Current medicine solve weight problems well.B. We should exercise regularly and eat properly.C. Taking exercise every day may cause heart problems.D. Testing new drugs is hard because of the side effects.DSaroo Brierley, a 4-year-old boy, livedin ruralIndia. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself alone. So he got on the train in front of him to search for hisbrother.That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院), where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.Brierley is a famous writer now, and in his new book,A Long Way Home, he wrote he couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back inIndia. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”—and there it was. Everything matched!Standing in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing at the entrance. It took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.In an interview Brierley says, “My mother came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, my eyes filled with tears and my brain blank. I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”12. Why did Brierley get on the train when he was a little boy?A. To go back to his home.B. To look for his brother.C. To travel toTasmania.D. To follow a stranger.13. What made it difficult for Brierley to find his hometown?A. The vast area ofIndia.B. The fact that he was nobody then.C. His not remembering the town’s name.D. The distance betweenAustraliaand his hometown.14. How did Brierley find his hometown?A. By studying digital maps.B. By analyzing old pictures.C. By travelling all aroundIndia.D. By spreading his story via his book.15. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Love for MotherB. Union with BrotherC. Memory of HometownD.

Rhea Ballos, an 11-year-old student ofSalvationElementary Schoolin Balason,Iloilo, wasonly wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.Facebook user Valenzuela posted pictures of the girl with her feet wrapped in bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word “NIKE” on the sides of her “shoe” to complete the “Nike running shoes” look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track. While she was actually barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her competitors who all more proper footwear intended for running,According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the girls' categories in the inter school sporting event held in Iloilo, central Philippines.When pictures of her “Nike” footwear become popular, Flipinos on social media praised her. Many noted that instead of falling into self-pity, she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her “running shoes”. Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. Others started getting in touch with the American sports brand, as well as local basketball specialty store Titan 22.It did not take long for Titan co-founder and Alaska Aces head coach Jeffrey Cariaso to take notice of Ballos'outstanding achievement.

Some estimates suggest that up to a half-million birds are caught in them each year. Over the years, researchers have created devices（装置）to prevent the birds from trying to catch fish near or in gillnets, but those didn't work well.To find a way that would work for all seabirds, the researchers first studied seabirds in a general sense, looking to find things that they would avoid. They noted that seabirds avoided eye contact with other creatures. Then the researchers came up with a simple idea—they put a small pole to a regular buoy and then attached a pair of googly eyes（金鱼眼）to the top of it. They made the eyes big enough so that even birds with poor eyesight, such as geese, would see them. Adding to the effectiveness of the device, waves made the eyes move back andforth. And the wind made the buoy spin very slowly, making sure that birds from every direction would get a good look at the eyes.To test their idea, the researchers selected several sites near gillnets and counted how many birds approached and how many attempted to catch fish near the nets. They then set up their googly-eyed buoys and once again counted birds. Over the course of 62 days, they found the number of birds that tried to catch fish near the gillnets dropped by approximately 25% for a distance of up to 50 meters. They also found that the birds were less likely to fish near where the buoys had been for up to three weeks after they had been removed.8. What is the function of paragraph 2?A.

Suspicions havebeen that birds may regard the open areas behind glass as safe passageways. Or they may mistake the reflected trees for the real thing.Researchers would like to reduce collisions, which requires a solid understanding about what makes a bird more or less likely to die by crashing into a building in the first place.“There was ly little known at a broad scale. Previous studies were at one small study site.'' Jared Elmore, a graduate student in natural resource ecology and management atOklahomaStateUniversity. So he and his colleagues used a previously created data set of building collisions for birds at 40 sites throughoutMexico,Canadaand theU.S.The first finding was obvious: bigger buildings with more glass kill more birds. But the details were moreremarkable. "We found that life history predicted collisions. Migrants(候鸟), insect-eaters and woodland-inhabiting species collided more than their counterparts(同类).”Most migratory species travel at night, when lights near buildings can distract or disorient(使迷失方向)them. And Elmore thinks that insect-eating birds might be attracted to buildings because their insect prey(猎物)is attracted to the lights. He suspects that woodland species get tooled by the reflections of trees and bushes in the windows. The results are in the journal Conservation Biology.By understanding which birds are more likely to collide with buildings, researchers can perhaps determine the best way to adapt buildings, or their lighting, to help prevent such accidents. And by knowing risks, along with migration timing and behavior, building managers can better predict when birds are at their greatest danger - and improve lighting strategics accordingly.Elmore's next project will use radar to help predict bird migrations. " I think that would maybe go a long way in terms of providing information to people, to the public, to building managers, on when they can get the most benefit in terms of lights-out policies."12. What is the possible reason for birds' crashing into buildings?A. They didn't see the buildings.B. They took reflections for reality.C. They assumed the windows to be open.D. They considered buildings as safe routes.13. What is Jared Elmore's study different from the previous ones?A. It created a new data set.B. It went beyond national borders.C. It covered a wider range of sites.D. I’ll studied some specific bird species.14. What was the most noticeable finding of Jared Elmore's study?A. Migratory species travel at night.B. Birds tend to be misled by glasses.C. Bigger buildings cause more collisions.D. Birds living habits give rise to collisions.15. Which of the following can help reduce bird collision?A. Adjust the lightening system.B. Attach radars to each building.C. Adopt strict lights-out policies.D. Ban using glasses on buildings.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
