AUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not e from lakes or rivers. It es from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to bee groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺).Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix anyleaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.1.Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater? A. Using river water. B. Paving parking lots.C. Throwing batteries away.D. Throwing rubbish into lakes. 2.What can be inferred from the text?A.It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.B.All water shortages are due to human behavior.C.There is much we can do to reduce family size.D.The average family in America makes proper use of water.3.The last paragraph is intended to ________.A. show us how to fix leaks at homeB. tell us how to run a dishwasherC. suggest what we do to save water at homeD. prove what drinking glass is best for us4.The text is mainly about ________.A. why paving roads reduces our waterB. how human activity affects our water supplyC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. how much we depend on water to liveBThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking intoa neighborhood store to look at its announcement board . Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or,job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by panies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects,meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example,students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course,looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example,there is a book called "What Color is Your Parachute(降落伞)?”by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career(职业)since it was first published in 1970.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan ler owns a panycalled California Career Services in Los Angeles.She says her pany helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.5. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students' part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D. The relation between study and work6. By logging on the Craigslist Web site,you can .A. sell your old thingsB. do some shopping onlineC. create your own announcement boardD. get useful information about 450 cities7. “What Color is Your Parachute?”is a book which gives tips to those who want to .A. work on the airplaneB. buy a parachuteC. publish a bookD. find a suitable job8. How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.CTeenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults.A study,which included nearly 1,400 high school students,found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers(同龄人)five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand,people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers,may snack more,and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand,TV ads for fast food,sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson,of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis,told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food , those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收)of fruits,vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion,parentsshould limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned,children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right,being physically active and curbing their own TV time.9. What's the best title for this passage?A. People should keep away from TV to keep healthy.B. Teenagers' TV time may affect their diets later.C. Why do teenagers like TV"D. Parents' own habits may affect children later.10. According to the passage,heavy TV viewers tend to_.A. eat more fruitsB. eat less junk foodC. take in fewer vegetablesD. take in high-calcium food11. What suggestion does the author give the parents?A. They must watch TV with their children.B. They should forbid the children to watch TV.C. They should pay attention to nutrition in diets.D.

AMany of the world’s most people were once successful failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865)Abraham Lincoln was one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War(from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed, he went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”Vincent Van Gogh(1853-1890)Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. He’s renowned for paintings such as The Starry Night. The potato Eaters and Sunflowers. However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, something even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 known works.Albert Einstein(1879-1955)Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always considered a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he as slow, so he was expelled from school and couldn’t get into the Zurich Polytechnic School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress.”Stephen King(born 1947)Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book, Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Eventually, Stephen threw it in the bin, but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he did…successfully this time!21.Which statement is true about Abraham Lincoln?A. He led the American War of IndependenceB. He never succeeded in his businessC. He was full of courage and perseveranceD. He is the greatest president of the United States22.Who became famous all over the world after his death?A. Albert EinsteinB. Vincent Van GoghC. Albert EinsteinD. Stephen King23.What was the most likely reason for Albert Einstein’s dropping out of school?A. He was too slow to learnB. He couldn’t speak or readC. His teacher thought he was stupidD. He didn’t obey the school rules24.What do these people have in common?A. They are all AmericansB. They are known for their writingsC. They were born in the same centuryD. They all suffered failure before they succeededBThe world’s population is projected to reach 11 billion by the end of the century.Feeding that many people will be a challenge, and it is further complicated by the impact of climate change on agriculture. That is why some people advocate an unusual way to boost the food supply and feed people sustainably by eating less meat and more insects.About 2 billion people already eat bugs. Mexicans enjoy chilly-toasted grasshoppers.Thais tuck into cricket stir-fries and Ghanaians snack on termites. Insects are slowly creeping on to Western menus as novelty items, but most people remain squcamish(拘谨).Yet there are three reasons why eating insects makes sense.First, they are healthier than meat. There are nearly 2000 kinds of edible insects, many of them packed with protein, calcium, fiber, iron and zinc. A small serving of grasshoppers can contain about the same amount of protein as a similar sized serving of beef, but has far less fat and far fewer calories.Second, raising insects is cheap, or free. Little technology or investment is needed to produce them. Harvesting insects could provide livelihoods to some of the world’s poorest people.Finally, insects are a far more sustainable source of food than livestock. Livestock production accounts for nearly a fifth of all greenhouse-gas emissions, that’s more than transport. By contrast, insects produce relatively few greenhouse gases and raising them requires much less land and water. And they eat almost anything.Despite all this, most Westerners find insects hard to swallow.One solution is to use protein extracted from bugs in other products such as ready meals and pasta sauces. Not having to look at the bugs and emphasizing the environmental benefits might make the idea of eating insects a bit more palatable.25.What is the direct reason why some people advocate eating insects?A. Insufficient food supplyB. Climate changeC. The rapid increase of populationD. Insects’high nutrition26.From the passage, we can infer that .A. eating insects is healthier than eating beefB. eating insects is popular among westernersC. eating insects can help people lose weightD. eating insects causes less damage to the environment27.How can we make it more acceptable to eat insects?A. By closing your eyes when eating insectsB. By eating insects together with other foodC. By putting insects’ nutrients into other food productsD. By considering the environmental benefits of eating insectsCDaniella Wride was brushing her daughter’s long brown hair when she noticed that with each stroke, clumps of it were coming out. That was January 1, 2017, Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride’s hair and eyebrows were completely gone, and her dermatologist said they would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6.8 million Americans with alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.Alopecia isn’t painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the agony comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa’s first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional taunt(嘲弄)of “Baldy” made her feel like an outcast. “I did not want her to not feel beautiful,” her mother told Today.Then the school announced its “Crazy Hair Day” competition in April, and Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hiding Gianessa’s baldness under scarves or a wig(假发), they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker jewels and decorated her daughter’s head with floral designs and even an owl. “They just fit her personality,” Daniella t old CNN. “She’s so lively.”On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny or freaky? She had nothing to fear. Bedazzled Gianessa was a hit-and the winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad s he dared to go bare. “I was sad at first when I lost all my hair,” she told p eople, “but now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can’t. I’m thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some sparkly butterflies and flowers.”28.Why did Gianessa become bald?A. Because she wanted to be differentB. Because she had all her hair cutC. Because her mother combed her hair too oftenD. Because she suffered from a kind of disease29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “agony” in Paragraph Two?A. WorryB. DelightC. PainD. Pride30.How does Gianessa feel about her baldness after the “Grazy Hair Day”?A. OptimisticB. UpsetC. IndifferentD. Worried31.What is the best title for the passage?A. Gianessa’s hair was goneB. Being bald is beautifulC. Crazy hair dayD. An incurable diseaseDI’d have to say that the schemes to reduce staff absence and increase punctuality(准时)have been a big success. We’ve seen that staff attendance levels have increased from 88% to 93%, and levels of punctuality have increased from 79% to 91%, which is fantastic. And the number of days that staff have taken off for sickness has dropped from an average of nine days per year to just five. There has also been a general increase in motivation at work, and we’ve seen output increase by at least 16% since this time last year.So, what have we been doing to improve things?Well, for a start, we’ve been introducing a scheme so that employees get bonuses if company production targets and sales figures are met. And if things carry on as they are, all employees will have received a bonus by the end of next month. We’ve also introduced a system whereby employees and managementset personal targets. Then, the individual employee receives a bonus if these targets are met. And to help with punctuality, we’ve installed a new system that records exactly what time people are getting in and leaving the office. This has helped improve punctuality rates substantially.Another initiative has been the installation of a games room for employees to use during mid-morning and lunch breaks. We’ve found that it’s a great way to motivate staff, giving them time to relax. As part of this, we’ve bought a ping pong table, a basketball hoop and a darts board. And by next week, the two table-football tables that we ordered last month will have arrived. Since opening the games room, staff have been using it constantly, especially the beds that we bought to allow staff to have a short nap during the day. Along similar lines, we’ve also organized a number of teambuilding excursions.32.Why does the author list some figures in Paragraph One?A. T o prove the plans work wellB. To show employees to be more punctualC. T o present the production grows obviouslyD. T o prove the increase of workers’ attendance33.What have they done to help with punctuality?A. They’ve set personal targetsB. They’ve weakened demands on employeesC. They’ve introduced a scheme to give employees bonusesD. They’ve recorded workers’ coming and leaving by a new system34.What has been most popular in the games room?A. A ping pong tableB. A darts boardC. A basketball hoopD. A nap bed35.As readers, who may benefit most from this article?A. StudentsB. ManagersC. T eachersD. Farmers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。

But the funny thing is that she sometimes sounds French, Italian or even Polish, depending on how tired she is.31 -year-old Emily's life changed greatly in January, when a mysterious condition left her unable to speak for two months. She’d had headaches for two weeks before one day developing a deeper voice suddenly. Her colleagues at a children's home then noticed her speech had become slow and unclear, both signs of a stroke(中风). By the time she was rushed to the hospital, Emily had lost her ability to speak completely, but after running some tests, doctors ruled out the stroke, instead blaming her voice loss on some sort of injury to her brain.After spending three weeks in the hospital, Emily Egan was still unable to speak and relied only on basic sign language she’d picked up at work and a text-to-speech app on her phone to communicate. A doctor encouraged her to go on a vacation in Thailand she and her husband had already booked, and to try and relax as much as possible. She did just that and a few days into the vacation, she started to speak again."I was so thrilled when my voice started coming back b ut now I don’t even discern the voice that comes out of my mouth. It doesn't sound like me," Egan said. Ever since her voice came back, she's taken time off work because stress only makes her condition worse.What has happened to Emily sounds shockingly similar to that of Michelle Myers, an Arizona woman who never traveled outside of America, but woke up to speaking with many accents-British, Irish and Australian-after experiencing severe headaches.24. Why is Emily Egan considered a Russian immigrant?A. She resembles a Russian very much.B. She speaks Russian like a native speaker.C. She speaks English with a Russian accent.D. She can freely switch between English and Russian.25. What resulted in Emily’s inability to speak?A. Brain injury.B. A sudden stroke.C. Long-term tiredness.D. Serious headaches.26. The underlined word "discern" in paragraph 4 most probably means " ".A. controlB. ignoreC. transformD. recognize27. What can be inferred about Emily from the text?A. She has already returned to work.B. Her case isn't alone in the world.C. She learned sign language after her voice loss.D. Her voice returned after three weeks' treatment.CA relative of starfish doesn't have eyes, but can sill see. That information comes from scientists who studied sea creatures in the coral reefs of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.The researchers reported this month that the starfish’s relative-called the red brittle star-is only the second creature known to be able to see without having eyes. This ability is call extraocular vision(眼外视觉). The other creature said to have extraocular vision is a kind of sea urchin.Brittle stars, with five arms extending from a central disk, are part of a group of sea life called echinoderms. They have a nervous system but no brain. The red brittle star measures up to about 35 centimeters wide, from the end of one arm to the other. It lives in bright and complex environments.Because of the possibility of being eaten by fish, the creature hides during daylight hours.The red brittles star possesses extraocular vision as a result of light-sensing cells, called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors cover its body and chromatophores, the cells responsible for coloring. During the daytime, the chromatophores narrow the field of light being detected, making each photoreceptors like the pixel(像素) of a computer image. When combined with other pixels, the image becomes complete.The visual system doesn't work at night. Laboratory experiments suggested that the brittle stars have very simple vision. Placed in a circular environment, for example, they moved toward walls that were white with a black bar, suggestive of al daytime hiding place.Lauren Sumner-Rooney is a research fellow at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. She led the study. She said, "It's such a different concept for us, as very visually driven animals, to imagine how an animal might see its habitat without eyes, but now we know of two examples."28. What's researchers' new finding about the red brittle star?A. It is a relative of starfish.B. It lives in the coral reefs.C. It has a very rare ability.D. It is a sea creature.29. What’s the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3?A. To give: reasons why the brittle star has no brain.B. To make a general introduction of the brittle star.C. To stress the role the brittle star plays in the sea.D. To explain why the brittle star keeps a unique lifestyle.30. According to the text, photoreceptors .A. spread on the surface of the red brittle starB. function normally even in the nighttimeC. control the field of light being detectedD. serve as cells responsible for coloring31. What is the best title for the text?A. How Sea Creature Finds Its Habitat UnderwaterB. How Sea Creature's Visual System WorksC. Sea Creature Finds New HabitatD. Sea Creature Sees Without EyesDA research team led by UCLA materials scientists has shown ways to make super white paint that reflects as much as 98% of incoming heat from the sun. The advance shows practical pathways for designing paints that, if used on rooftops and other parts of a building, could greatly reduce cooling costs, beyond what standard white cool-roof paints can achieve."When you wear a white T-shirt on a hot sunny day, you feel cooler than if you wear one that's darker in color- that's because the white shirt reflects more sunlight and it’s the same concept for buildings," said Aaswath Raman, a researcher of the study. "A roof painted white will be cooler inside than one in a darker shade by rejecting heat at infrared(红外线的) wavelengths, which we humans cannot see with our eyes. This super white paint could allow buildings to cool down even more by radiative(辐射的) cooling."The best performing white paints now available typically reflect around 85% of incoming sun heat. The remainder is absorbed by the chemical makeup of the paint. The researchers showed that simple changes in a paint's ingredients could offer a big jump, reflecting as much as 98% of incoming radiation. The potential cooling benefits this super white paint can achieve may be realized in the near future because the changes suggested are within the abilities of the paint and coatings industry.Many cities and governments, including the stale of California and New York City, have started to encourage cool-roof technologies for new buildings. "We hope that the work will inspire future creativity in super-white coatings for not only energy savings in buildings, but also lessening the heat island effects of cities, and perhaps even showing a practical way that, if applied globally, could affect climate change," said Raman, who has studied cooling paint technologies for several years, "This would require experts in diverse fields to work together."32. What’s the fun ction of the super white paint?A. Reflecting all the sun heat.B. Lowering building costs.C. Keeping buildings cool.D. Absorbing heat quickly.33. How does Aaswath Raman explain the working principle of the paint?A. By telling a story.B. By listing scientific data.C. By conducting a11 experiment.D. By making a similar comparison.34. What can be inferred about the super white paint from the text?A. It is completely chemical free.B. It is still unavailable in the market.C. Its ingredients still need improving.D. Is effects have been greatly improved.35. What do Raman’s words in the las t paragraph imply about the work?A. He has high expectations of it.B. He urges greater attention to it.C. He believes it can stop climate change.D. He thinks it's easy to carry out worldwide.河南省洛阳市2021届高三上学期期中考试英语试题第一节(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和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

It began in June of 2018, when, as part of an effort to fight the enduring problem of segregation(种族隔离), Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his intention 【小题1】the testing requirement should be discontinued for admission to the city’s eight selective “élite” high schools. Then, late last month, the Advisory Group released a report 【小题2】 (suggest) that the city rethink its entire approach 【小题3】 identifying and educating high-achieving children. More accurately, it recommended replacing the gifted-and-talented programs with new initiatives 【小题4】challenge premature children without relying on a test or academic tracking. However, Asian-American parents fearing that the proposed change 【小题5】(disadvantage) their children filed a lawsuit to block it.Testing holds great attraction 【小题6】it is neutral, indifferent to a student’s background and wealth. But this is not 【小题7】the current system functions. Success is closely related to socioeconomic advantages and access to test preparation. For example, Asian-American students tend 【小题8】(rate) lower on the most subjective parts of college admissions evaluations.It’s not clear what the result of the current debate will be. One thing, however, is certain: the competition for places at New York’ chools 【小题9】(drive), in part, by a lack of faith in the quality of education in other parts of the system. Also, it is seen as a conflict between different social groups fighting for a system in which their children are 【小题10】(likely) to be restricted by discrimination.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文)2.

There certainly may be an element of proud boasting:"Admire my little son's taste in jazz," etc. But these carefully chosen photos often do little more than help parents escape from a harsh day (3)_______. The isolation of parenthood delivers one to strange places, and you need your tribe. Sharing images on social media makes the experience (4)_______,connecting one to a larger world.In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that "sharenting" happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It (5)_______ a child's entry into "digital life." Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two﹣thirds of identity﹣fraud cases affecting today's children will have been caused by sharenting.For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission,(6)_______ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett's second,much broader concern. The (7)_______ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult﹣world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst﹣case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real﹣world (8)_______, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today,long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to "thousands,likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users." How long will it be until someone (9)_______ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?Plunkett's concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett's advice is to "make more mindful choices" about digital lives though parenthood is often so (10)_______ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.三、完形填空)3.The Last Robot﹣Proof Job in America?You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtainit, it would likely have been pre﹣frozen and shipped in from overseas.A new tech startup is aiming to (1)_______ this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood wholesale market, the startup, called FultonFishMarket.com, allows customers across the whole county, both restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped (2)_______, rather than frozen, thanks to an Amazon advanced logistics system. Mike Spindler, the company's C.E.O., said recently, "I can get a fish to Warren Buffett, that's as fresh as if he'd walked down to the pier (码头) and bought it that morning."There is one thing, (3)_______, that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to (4)_______ that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. According to the ocean﹣conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is (5)_______. For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty﹣seven﹣year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and (6)_______ knowledge that, so far, com puters have yet to replicate."(7)_______ the food﹣safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history, " Spindler told me. He is experienced in the (8)_______ business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. "They thought selling fish on the Internet was (9)_______." DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers (鱼贩). "They didn't see how it could possibly work." Five years ago, DiGregorio didn't know how to use a computer, but when the Web ﹣site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they've created a human﹣machine fish﹣buying operation.By I a.m. each night, the company (10)_______ from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market, carrying his tablet computer. Thecompany's algorithms(算法)(11)_______ data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example, which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a "learning system, " so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn't (12)_______, itasks, "Was the fish not available? Was it damaged? " All that information is fed back in for next time.Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can't? DeGregorio showed me his part of the (13)_______ process. "I'm assessing a few things, " he said. First, (14)_______. Fish should have "nice" slime (粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. "When fish goes bad, it smells like ammonia." Besides, to get the beststuff, "Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you." He added.Is he never (15)_______ being replaced by the learning system ofcomputers? DiGregorio shrugged. "By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do, " he said, "I'll be dead."(1)A.maintainB.remedyC.substituteD.recognize(2)A.freeB.overseasC.separateD.fresh(3)A.thereforeB.otherwiseC.howeverD.thus(4)A.ensureB.proposeC.concedeD.remind(5)A.overpricedB.misidentifiedC.displacedD.modified(6)puterB.cuisineC.fishD.marketing(7)A.Rather thanB.Thanks toC.Except forD.Prior to(8)A.fund﹣raisingB.online﹣groceryC.fish﹣sellingD.non﹣profit(9)A.significantB.worthyC.responsibleD.ridiculous(10)A.salesB.ordersC.alternativesD.statistics(11)A.analyzeB.supplyC.prioritizeD.feed(12)A.requireB.processC.predictD.value(13)A.calculationB.decodingC.correctionD.selection(14)A.smashB.touchC.wipeD.roll(15)A.concerned aboutB.eager forC.delighted withD.capable of四、阅读选择)4. On the morning of 19 April 1966, a hooded figure was hiding in the bushes near the start line of the Boston Marathon. When the gun went off to start the race, the mysterious person allowed the faster competitors to pass before joining the main group of runners. It wasn’t long before the others noticed that their new companion was a woman.The infiltrator(渗入者) was 23-year-old graduate Roberta ’Bobbi’ Gibb, an experienced runner who had had her application to run denied on the grounds that the Boston Marathon was a Men’s Division race only. Her rejection letter categorically stated: Women aren’t allowed and furthermore are not physiologically able. Having run up to 30 miles a day nearly every day for the two years leading up to the race, Gibb knew that this was not true. She decided it was time attitudes towards women changed, and bought a bus ticket to Boston. Contrary to her father’s fears that she would get hurt in the race, Gibb’s male counterparts showed her nothing but kindness. Once reporters got wind of her participation, the radio began broadcasting news of her progress. Encouraged by adrenalin and the delighted spectators, Gibb was heading for an under three-hour time for the best part of the course,but then she began running out of steam. Starved of food and water, her legs began to falter, and her feet became almost too painful to run on. If she hadn’t known that dropping out would have set women’s running back 20 or 30 years, she may not have completed the course. However, the cheering crowds on the last leg of the course succeeded in lifting her spirits, and she sprinted to the finish in a very respectable time of just under three hours and 22 minutes.On finishing the race, Gibb was treated as a hero: she was met by the governor of Massachusetts, her parents were interviewed, newspapers ran articles on her and she was invited to a TV game show. More importantly for her, she had broken the stereotype that women didn’t run marathons. She began getting calls from inspired women who had taken up running themselves, and in 1967 a second female runner competed in the Boston Marathon alongside Gibb. The following year there were five female entrants, and by 1972, the rules had been changed to allow women to compete in all US marathons. However, by then, if you had asked anyone who was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, they would have given you a completely different name: Kathy Switzer.Twenty-year-old journalist Kathrine Switzer shot to fame after competing against Gibb in the 1967 Boston Marathon. On discovering Switzer had entered the race by pretending to be a man, race director Jock Semple tried to physically remove her, and it was this image of Switzer being attacked while running that stuck in people’s minds. Switzer conti nued running, finishing second in the 1975 Boston Marathon. Moreover, she became a successful media personality. It took Gibb decade of writing letters to magazines, TV stations and book publishers to set the record straight. But in the end, she succeeded in gaining her due recognition and was retroactively awarded first-place medals for her 1966, 1967 and 1968 races.(1)The woman is hiding in the bushes __________.A.to cheer on the best participantsB.so as not to be seen at the starting line.C.in order to watch the race unfoldD.so that she has a better view of the field(2)What ultimately drove Gibb to finish the race?A.She didn’t want her plan to backfire(发生意外).B.She wanted her parents to be proud of her.C.She wasn’t willing to disappoint the cr owd.D.She couldn’t take the shame of failure.(3)What does the writer mean when he describes Gibb’s running time as ’respectable’?A.He thinks she could have done better.B.He considers it a standard to aim at.C.He regards it as a good time.D.He can’t believe she ran so well.(4)What does the reader discover about Gibb in the fourth paragraph?A.Her reputation grew as the years went by.B.She was corrupted by fame.C.She became a household name.D.Her glory was short-lived5.(1)When you find a gift in a geocache, you _________.A.make a note of the gift on the website.B.can borrow the gift, but have to return it.C.are allowed to take the gift if you replace it with something else.D.take a photo of the gift as proof that you have found it(2)The writer thinks that the most enjoyable kind of geocaching is when _______.A.you have to find a public webcam.B.you have to find a series of geocaches.C.you have to find a geocache and then hide it in a different place.D.you simply have to find one geocache.(3)The writer has written the blog mainly to _________.A.suggest that people try geocaching.B.publicise a geocaching event in Sweden.C.warn the reader that geocaching is addictive.D.explain the differences between letterboxing and geocaching.6. The Occupy Wall Street protest movement has raised serious questions about the role of capitalist institutions, particularly corporations in American society. Well before the first protester set foot in Zucotti Park, a heckler(扰乱分子) urged Mitt Romney to tax corporations rather than people. Romney's response﹣﹣ "Corporations are people" stirred a brief but intense controversy. Now thousands of demonstrators have in effect joined the heckler, denouncing(抨击) corporations as "enemies of the people."Far more important than questions about what corporations are is the question of what attitude we should have toward them. Should we, as corporate public relations statements often suggest, think of them as friends (if we buy and are satisfied with their products)or as family (if we work for them)? Does it make sense to be loyal to a corporation as either a customer or as an employee? More generally, even granted that corporations are not fully persons in the way that individuals are, do they have some important moral standing in our society?My answer to all these questions is no, because corporations have no core dedication to fundamental human values. Such corporations exist as instruments of profit for their shareholders. In fact, left to themselves, they can be serious threats to human values that conflict with the goal of corporate profit. Corporations are a particular threat to truth, a value essential in a democracy, which places a premium on the informed decisions of individual citizens. The corporate threat is most apparent in advertising, which explicitly aims at convincing us to prefer a product regardless of its actual merit. Their defining goal is to generate profit. There are cases when telling the truth is the best means to advance corporate profits. In 1982, when seven people in Chicago died from poisonedTylenol, Johnson & Johnson appealed to its credo, which makes concern for its customers primary corporate goal, and told the entire truth about what had happened. This honesty turned a potential public﹣relations disaster into a triumph. But Johnson & Johnson's impressive corporate credo ends by saying, "Our final responsibility is to our stockholders and must make solid profit. The credo is unclear about what happens when there is a conflict between responsible action and long﹣term profit."None of this means that corporations are evil or that socialism should replace the free﹣enterprise system. As Michel Foucault said of all power structures, it's not that corporations are bad but that they are dangerous. The self﹣serving corporate speech that fills our media and halls of government is particularly dangerous for our democracy. At least for this reason, the Occupy Wall Street protesters are right to distrust corporations.(1)Mitt Romney most probably believes that________.A.individuals should pay more taxes than corporationsB.corporations should not be forced to pay more taxesC.people should care more about corporations' developmentD.corporations should enjoy all the legal rights as people do.(2)According to Paragraphs 2 and 3, it can be inferred that corporations________.A.should be set as moral examples of the societyB.take employees' faithfulness as part of their goalsC.contribute little to the most essential human valuesD.are actually means by which people share profits.(3)The 1982 event is cited in Paragraph 3 to illustrate that________.A.corporations always make profits at the expense of people's healthB.customers should always keep an eye on the quality of any productC.corporations take economic profit as their priority essentiallyD.corporation profit is always in contradiction with customer interests.(4)Which of the following is the best title for the text?________A.Corporations, People and TruthB.Corporations Are Different from PeopleC.Corporations Are UntrustworthyD.The Occupy Wall Street Protest.五、六选四)7. Although books are still popular with teenagers, most of them spend more of their leisure time staring at their phone than reading a paperbook.(1)_______Instead of publishing whole book at once, they produce very short chapters, which they send oncea week to their readers by text message.(2)_______Many are written by high school or university students who are very familiar with the topics that teenagers are interested in. Common themes are love, tragedy and betrayal, and the stories often deal with difficult or controversial issues.Twenty﹣one﹣year﹣old Rin wrote her novel over a six﹣month period in spare moments,often while commuting on the train.(3)_______Her book sold 40000 copies and was number five in the Japanese bestseller list. Rin said that her mother had had no idea that she had been writing a novel and was therefore very surprised when she saw a book withher daughter's name on it(4)_______Chapters have no more than 200 words, and often just 50﹣100words. Sentences are short and there are no descriptions of anything or anybody because there isn't space. The text mostly consists of dialogue and the language is direct,conveying a lot in a few words.In 2009, a young Japanese writer called Takatsu, who lives in Canada, began writing the first English language cell phone novel, Secondhand Memories. Takatsu had read anEnglish translation of Rin's story and had been impressed by its simple and emotional language. It was a feature he deliberately copied when he started writing Secondhand Memories.(5)_______He now believes that, in English, cell phone novels have a powerful and poetic identity of their own. Cell phone novels encourage young people to engage in fiction, even those who would not normally pick up a book. They could be described as ten novels for the 21st century.A. Books are sometimes regarded as old﹣fashioned and difficult to read.B. In response 10 this trend, some smart young authors have changed the way they write.C. However, as the story progressed, the style gradually evolved into something different.D. She typed out chapters on her phone and uploaded them onto a popular website forcell phone authors.E. No money is made from cell phone novels unless they are published as books.F. The style of cell phone novels has evolved to suit the medium.G. Although the idea originated in Japan, cell phone novels have also appeared in therest of world.六、概要写作)8. Directions: 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.It's undeniable: Being among the first to try out a new piece of technology iscool. There's the excitement of doing what has never been done before the feeling thatyou're living in the future. And when you're the sole member of your social circle with the latest hot gadget, people stare in fascination. They ask you questions. They see you as the holder of powerful, secret knowledge for a little while, until the next big thing comes along. People tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which theypay in more ways than one. Don't fall into the early adopter trap. Don't join the firstwave of consumers who invest in the latest media﹣hyped hardware: instead, wait and see.To put it frankly, early adoption is a bad investment. First, the earliest versions of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be. Companies are presumably attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and they know that there are serious tech﹣lovers who will pay a great deal to be first. Once the revenues from early adopters' purchases are safely in their hands, theycan cut the price and shift to the next marketing phase: selling the product to everyone else. This is why the cost of the original iPhone dropped about U. S. 200 only eight months after its release. Plus, electronics hardly ever become more expensive because intense competition in the industry puts downward pressure on prices over time. Prices of gadgets will fall shortly after release, and they will likely keep falling. Many new TV models drop significantly in price as little as ten days after hitting the market. Further,electronics rapidly depreciate because they become obsolete (废弃的) so quickly. This means that early adopters pay the maximum price for an item that does not hold onto its value. The resale price of a cell phone or laptop can drop by fifty percent within just a few months.Speaking of becoming obsolete, those who are first to leap into a new technology risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on. Another good reason to resist the early﹣adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically hasdefects that cost a lot in time and frustration. Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid beta testers and troubleshooters. Unless this sounds to you like a fun way to spend your time, don't be among the first users. If you wait to learn what the problems are with a new electronic gadget, you can look forward to a smoother experience or choose a less troublesome product.七、根据所给汉语意思完成句子)9.

Being small and easy to useBAs much as seventy years ago, in the city of Boston, there lived a small girl who had the naughty habit of running away.Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alcott, from first to last, had had a good many frights about this flyaway Louisa. Once when she was only two years old they were traveling with her on a steamboat, and she darted away, in some moment when no one was noticing her, and crawled into the engine-room to watch the machinery. Of course her clothes were all grease and dirt, and she might have been caught in the machinery and hurt.Except for this one fault, Louisa was a good child, so she felt much ashamed that she had caused her mother, whom she loved dearly, so much worry. She made up her mind that she would never frighten her so again. No-she would cure herself of the running-away habit!After that, whenever she felt the least desire to slip out of the house without asking permission, she would hurry to her own little room and shut the door tight. To keep her mind from bad plans she would shut her eyes and make up stories-think them all out, hers, you know. Then, when some of them seemed pretty good, she would write them down so that she would not forget them. By and by she found she liked making stories better than anything she had ever done in her lifeHer mother sometimes wondered why Louisa grew so fond of staying in her little chamber the head of the stairs, all of a sudden, but was pleased that the runaway child had changed into such a quiet, like-to-stay-at-home girl.It was a long time before Louisa dared to mention the stories and rhymes she had hidden in her desk but finally she told her mother about them, and when Mrs. Alcott had read them, she advised her to keep on writing. Louisa did so and became one of the best American story-tellers.

Thank you for recognizingthat what is in the park should stay in the park. If every visitor took a rock home, that would mean 11 million rocks would be gone from the park every year! "they shared.The park rangers went on to explain the importance of rocks in the Natural Park as homes for“hundreds” of creatures, including salamanders.“Now that you know to leave nature the way you find it, we hope you will help share this message with others,” the officials concluded, "It is always a good thing to give another the chance to discover!”28.

With decreased sales volumes and competition from H&M, Zara and The Gap in the Chinese market, US clothing brand Forever 21 announced it will fully withdraw(撤退) from China.Fast fashion may not be as popular as it once was, Discounts, clearance sales and closures clearly show that demand for fast fashion is getting worse. Research from Us-based fashion resale website Thredup points out that one in four women aged 18-25 plans to quit fast fashion in 2021. A major reason is to be more eco-friendly.On the one hand the constant demand for clothing puts enormous stress on land and water resources.

Old clothes go to landfills (填埋场), which will further increase the pollution of soil and water.Fast fashion also puts incredible stress on workers. More than 1, 100 people died in a clothes factory collapse (崩溃)in Bangladesh six years ago. The collapse uncovered the bad situation of the workers. They worked overtime against their will. Some averaged up to 14 hours a day, making only $2(about 14 yuan). Furthermore, most of them were women with children to feed.British designer Vivienne Westwood once said, “Buy less, choose well, make it last.” Buying is what makes the fashion world go round It's time to start questioning fast fashion and see the true cost of those cheap T-shirts.32. which one of the following is not the reason why US clothing brand Forever 21 will fully withdraw from China?A.

Rather than just regular jokes, the memes “went to truly dark and ugly place, joking about Orthodox Jews(犹太教徒), the gas chambers(毒气室), Mexican children and suicide,” reported CNN 37 But later, some students set up another group where they traded several offensive memes.
