AHow many men do housework? Recently a European commission tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question,” Who does the housework? ” The men answered very differently from the women!The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish(丹麦的) men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all!But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands. Their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.Do the men you know help in the house? Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience? Write and tell us what you think.1. The survey was carried out in .A. BritainB. ItalyC. DenmarkD. Europe2. The subject for the survey is .A. how many boys do the houseworkB. who does the housework at homeC. how many women do the houseworkD. who are more diligent, wives or husbands3.

More husbands help in the house than husbands.A. British; DanishB. Italian; DanishC. Danish; BritishD. Italian; BritishBBrenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided tobecome a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next –door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''5．Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didn't want others to hear her playB. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C. Because she didn't have her own roomD. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.6．Brenda started to give concerts .A. after she practiced in her space bubbleB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronautD. when people came to see her in the space bubble7．Brenda became famous because .A. she was good at music and scienceB. she became a real musical astronautC. she invented a special way of practiceD. she played well and had a talent8．It can be inferred from the text that: " ".A. He laughs best who laughs lastB. It's never too old to learnC. Two heads are better than oneD. One good turn deserves anotherCFour people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51. It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA .The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalind Franklin. “She should have been up there,” says historian Mary Bowden. “If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missi ng was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflecting the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant .But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to go or be put in her place.”As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin. Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.”No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA. She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light.9. What is the text mainly about?A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.C. The process of discovering DNA.D. The race between two teams of scientists.10. Watson was angry with Franklin because she .A. took the lead in the competitionB. kept her results from himC. proved some of his findings wrongD. shared her data with other scientists11. The underlined phrase “backed up” in the last paragraph probably means ．A. supportedB. arguedC. toleratedD. rejected12.Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?A. She developed pictures in dark labs.B. She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.C. Her name was forgotten after her death.D. Her contribution was unknown to the public.DLast summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader explanation of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的), because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’ re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris said.Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish(滋养) the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.13. Low technology is regarded as something that .A. is related to natureB. is out of date todayC. consumes too much energyD. exists in the virtual world14. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings .A. have destroyed many pre-industrial artsB. have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsC. can become intelligent by learning historyD. can regain their individual identity by using machines15. The writer’s attitude to “low technology”can best be described as .A. positiveB. defensiveC. cautiousD. doubtful第二部分阅读填空（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Crazy Forts.BI got invited to go with some friends to a game at another school. A senior willbe driving us, and I think she’s a good driver, but it’s someone my parents don’t know. I want to tell my parents where I’m going, but what if I ask and they say“no”? I’ll end up wishing I never mentioned it and just went ahead and did it anyway.If you want permission, it’s best to build a track record of honesty and trust. Letting a parent know where you’re going is always a good idea.You may worry that telling your parents puts you at risk of getting “no” for an answer. But there’s a good chance your parents might be OK with you going. If you go but don’t tell them,you risk losing something more important —your parents’ trust.Parents who find out their kids did something behind their backs may be less likely to give permission to do things in the future. When trust is broken like this, parents wonder if teens are trying to hide something —and what they imagine can be far worse than the reality.Before you talk to your parents about the game, think about which approach will help them feel most comfortable with giving you more freedom. Maybe they’d like to meet the person driving or talk to friends who have driven with her in the past. If your parents have questions or hesitate about letting you go, find out what their worries are and then do your best to answer them.4. From Paragraph 1 we know that the writer _________.A. appears nervousB. looks worriedC. feels confusedD. seems discouraged5. What is the best way to get parents’ permission according to the passage?A. To get more attention from them.B. To risk gaining their permission.C. To keep off the track of reality.D. To be honest and win their trust.6. What does the writer really want to tell us?A. How to win over parents.B. How to deal with strict parents.C. Which effective approach to use.D. How to get freedom from parents.7. Who do you think the passage is intended for?A. Parents.B. Friends.C. Drivers.D. Teenagers.CCareer success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health.Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation（相关性） between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.In 1991, teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting（激励）, if they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and if they can solve problems on their own.Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25. They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues.The results showed that socially competent children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge （放纵） drinking, and applying for public housing.“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted." The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention（干预） at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills.“This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on," he said. “But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life."8. What has the 20-year study found?A. Most kindergartners can solve problems alone.B. Helpful children understand others feeling better.C. Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily.D. Social skills play a key role in children's development.9. Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about？A. when the researchers began their studyB. how long it took to complete the studyC. how the researchers conducted the studyD. what factors were studied by the experts10.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?A. Teach them how to cooperate with others.B. Teach them some basic living skills.C. Tell them to keep off alcohol.D. Coach them in their lessons.11. The text makes very good sense to ____________.A. teenagersB. educatorsC. doctorsD. general readersDWhat about your performance at today’s class？Are you active enough to focus on the lessons? Nowadays it is common to see students’ laziness and poor efficiency at class. And that is why schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.‘Read and Ride’ is the creation of school counselor Scott E rtl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities. What is more important, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated anastonishing83% reading proficiency. Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.Of course there are many other programs which have got good results as ‘Read and Ride’. Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like ‘Read and Ride,’experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates （刺激）brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. So don’t be surprised to find more sc hools across the country will adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.12. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?A. Kids excise balls in the classroom.B. Kids ride bikes when they are reading.C. Kids attend reading classes at the gym.D. Kids stand on the desks while reading.13. How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?A. They exercise with high pressure.B. They become more active in sports.C. They feel reading fun and learn better.D. They become more independent in reading.14. Which of the following is the closest in the meaning to the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?A. be due toB. be occupied withC. be devoted toD. be addicted to15. What is the author's attitude towards this program?A. Neutral.B. Negative.C. Doubtful.D. Positive.II 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

【全国百强校】广东省佛山市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期第一次段考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal m easure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.”According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion incross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.1．The discovery shows that Westerners .A．pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB．consider facial expressions universally reliableC．observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysD．have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions2．What were the people asked to do in the study?A．To make a face at each other.B．To get their faces impressive.C．To classify some face pictures.D．To observe the researchers’ faces.3．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A．The participants in the study.B．The researchers of the study.C．The errors made during the study.D．The data collected from the study.4．In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to .A．do translation more successfullyB．study the mouth more frequentlyC．examine the eyes more attentivelyD．read facial expressions more correctlyHe may not have an "S" across his chest but this dog is most certainly a hero.Harley, who was rescued from a puppy mill four years ago, was named the American Humane Association's 2015 American Hero Dog. Harley, who is missing an eye and has other medical issues from his time at the mill, is now a "spokes-dog" against puppy mills. He serves as the adorable furry face of the "Harley to the Rescue" campaign, which raises funds for the National Dog Mill Rescue, according to a press release.The pup was rescued back in 2011 and adopted by Rudi and her husband, Dan. "It was just four years ago that he was pulled from the cage in the puppy mill and left to die," Harley's owner, Rudi, said during the awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles this past weekend, according to Today. com. "We never would have ever thought he would live this long and make such a difference for so many puppies."The dog was one of eight finalists up for the American Hero Dog and was chosen as thewinner through public votes. The finalists all won $ 1,500 to be donated to one of American Humane Association’s charity partners, with Harley receiving another $ 5 ,000 to go towa rd his charity partner, New Leash On Life.According to the release, Harley spent 10 years at the puppy mill, and endured rough treatment there, which led to his many medical issues. He lost his eye as a result of his cage being power-washed with him inside.The dog isn't just the face of his campaign, he also goes on rescue missions and makes public appearances at events and schools to raise awareness for puppy mills.This incredible work is all due to the dog’s fighting spirit. That spirit is allowing him now to be the voice for dogs who cannot speak for themselves and give everybody hope that tomorrow's going to be a better day.5．How did the "Harley to the Rescue" campaign function?A．By saving dogs from a puppy mill.B．By operating the American Humane Association.C．By collecting money for the National Dog Mill Rescue.D．By giving endangered dogs-enough medical treatment.6．What was the author’s attitude to the puppy mill according to the text? A．Unsatisfied. B．Sympathetic.C．Doubtful. D．Tolerant.7．Why was Harley blind in one eye?A．She was born with it. B．Her owner treated her roughly.C．It was caused by a medical issue. D．She was washed heavily in a cage. 8．What can we know about the dog from the text?A．It would be given to New Leash On Life.B．It was kept by Rudi's family.C．It would be taken away by its puppy mill.D．It returned to the National Dog Mill Rescue.Like people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success.Bad environmental conditions, such as drought, flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields (产量) more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plantswith the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields, said Stephen Howell, a professor of genetics and cell biology.Plant cells produce proteins (蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins. Then a built-in system senses this and “sets off an alarm in the cell,” said Howell.In response to the alarm, another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.“As it turns out, responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants,” said Howell. “This allows them to preserv e their energy to survive the stress conditions.”For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduces yields.“You don’t want crop plants to stop growing,” Howell said. “You want them to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.”With the new understanding of this stress response, the next step may be to silence the alarm system, said Howell. “What may be important is to disable some of these stress r esponses. That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”9．According to the text, what causes an alarm in the plant cells?A．The folded proteins. B．The changed proteins.C．The defensive measures. D．The stress response genes.10．What does the energy preserved in the plants under stress conditions do?A．It helps the plants to survive. B．It helps to maintain high yields.C．It keeps the plants growing. D．It helps to produce proteins. 11．Which word is closest to the meaning of the underlined w ord “inhibit” in Paragraph 5? A．Prevent. B．Start.C．Continue. D．Promote.12．How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions? A．By making crop plants keep more energy.B．By making crop plants stop growing.C．By making the alarm system stop working.D．By making the alarm system respond quickly.二、七选五Four simple ways to stay positiveTrying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.Don’t think a lot about negativity.Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.It’s when those n egative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. 13．However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.14．What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. 15．Be kind to others.16．Making someone’s day a bit brighter no t only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious (传染的) , and your positive attitude may spread among others.Take it one day at a time.Being positive i sn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. 17．Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.A．Eat healthily and stay fit.B．Take your lunch breaks outside.C．Don’t worry about what the future may bring.D．Gratitude helps you appreciate life in bad times.E.Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.F.Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.G.Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.三、完形填空Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to 18 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 19 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 20 friends. While traveling was inspring and meeting people was 21 , nothing about my term in France was what I 22 .The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 23 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 24 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(协调人): there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 25 out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 26 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation (诱惑) to 27 my native language, I asked not to be 28 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 29myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian(巴西人) the same age as I, who I was surprised to find playing one of my favourite CD! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 30 .I left France with many 31 , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 32 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 33 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 34 seem so different, but end up being so35 . The most valuabe lesson I gain from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people 36 to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign culture and gain meaningful 37 .18．A．discuss B．express C．announce D．argue 19．A．approved B．knew C．warned D．denied 20．A．stubborn B．anxious C．universal D．interesting 21．A．exciting B．upsetting C．boring D．promising 22．A．doubted B．liked C．expected D．feared23．A．greeted B．witnessed C．sponsored D．supported 24．A．since B．when C．until D．while 25．A．walk B．travel C．move D．rush 26．A．roommate B．leader C．housekeeper D．colleague 27．A．learn B．speak C．master D．appreciate 28．A．combined B．placed C．involved D．fitted 29．A．added B．adapted C．devoted D．introduced 30．A．month B．week C．term D．vocation 31．A．stories B．suitcases C．presents D．dream 32．A．embarrassed B．disturbed C．surprised D．concerned 33．A．analyzing B．investigating C．describing D．exploring 34．A．need B．can C．must D．shall 35．A．similar B．independent C．generous D．distant 36．A．and B．so C．or D．but 37．A．instruction B．date C．facts D．friendships四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and school-work. You may be getting farther and farther behind,and it may seem like you'll never catch up.When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(顾问) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions. Remember, you don't have to share what you've written with others.16. Lots of kids , according to the writer.A. like school very muchB. are good at reading and writingC. don't like doing homeworkD. have the thought of hating school17. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph?A. A good education.B. School.C. Future life.D. Friendship.18. If you don't like school, the first step is to .A. find out the reasonsB. go to see a doctorC. ask your parents for helpD. leave school for a short time19.

When you start taking steps to make things better, one of the good ideas is to .A. keep silent about your problemsB. share what you’ve written with othersC. write down your feelings about schoolD. get along well with your classmatesBI began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“ None.”“ Where did you go?”“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“ What did you do?”“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“ You just stood there?”“ Didn’t sell a single one.”“ My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazinebusiness.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that. As soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.21. Why did the boy start his job young?A. He wanted to be famous in the future.B. The job was quite easy for him.C. His mother had high hopes for him.D. The competition for the job was fierce.22. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.A. excitedB. interestedC. ashamedD. disappointed23.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?A. She forced him to continue.B. She punished him.C. She gave him some money.D. She changed her plan.24. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”in the last paragraph refer to?A. The war between the boy’s parents.B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.D. The fight between the boy and his father.25. What is the text mainly about?A. The early life of a journalist.B. The early success of a journalist.C. The happy childhood of the writer.D. The important role of the writer in his family.CWe don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more pollution environment. But it isn't true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy andbelieve good things will happen.26. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.B. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.D. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.27. The third paragraph mainly tells us ____.A. that computers will do all the things for human beings.B. how people will use computers to communicate with each other.C. that machines like computers and robots will help people a lotD. how people will use robots to do the housework28. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?A. The relationship between people will be more important than today.B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.C. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.29. The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.A. disappointedB. surprisedC. curiousD. optimistic30. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How people will communicate in the year 2050B. What our life will be like in the year 2050C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050D. What high technology will appear in the year 2050DMany psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion(部分) of the grey matter between their ears. It's a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries; magazines, advertisements and books over the past century.But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes.Throughout the course of one day, most areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas of the brain are not used, but scans show activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don't affect other essential areas.From an evolutionary point of view, it's highly unlikely that our comparatively larger brains would have evolved(进化) from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence support the 10 percent theory.31. How did the 10 percent theory get such widespread popularity?A. It was promoted in various types of copular media.B. Albert Einstein argued strongly in support.C. It was proven in scientific research.D. Few people could prove it wrong.32.

The teacher looked at the remaining students and said, “ Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last 3 .” Two more students decided to go.Seven students remained. The teacher then handed out the 4 . There were only three sentences typed on the paper: Congratulations! You have just 5 an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test 6 any teacher could and should give. Students who are not confident in what they have learned are B students at best(充其量).The same is 7 in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both success and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, either from formal education 8 from events in their lives, and have become better people.Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now, and you 9 that you have some limits(限制). However, there is 10 you can’t do or learn or be.

If you have the wish and reallymade a conscious（自觉的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.Memory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber（理发师）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny and amusing（有趣的）in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble.11.

This is what happenedto Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock （闹钟）. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopp ed outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted.

Usually three or four times a night, a loud bell rings, a red light flashes, and he has to jump out of his bed. That’s because he’s a weekend volunteer firefighter with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Station 13 in Northern Virginia. During the week, he lives at home with his mom, dad and sister and does his main job which is going to high school.“I always wanted to get into firefighting since I was a little kid watching fire trucks go by,”he says. “One day on the Internet I noticed that Loudoun County offered a junior firefighter program.” He was only 16, but he got it.Fighting fires is dangerous work. Firefighters never stop practicing the skills they need to stay safe. Once Coston learned those skills, he was allowed to work inside burning buildings.“Teamwork is most important,” he says. “It’s the whole team that puts the fire out.”Firefighters feel great about helping people. “My most unbelievable call was probably the time four kids were struck by lightning,” says Coston. He will be off to college next fall, building on his dream job. “I’ll get my degree in emergency medical care and then work in a fire and rescue company for a while. I want to be a flight doctor on a helicopter in the end, but I will never forget the days as a firefighter. These are my unforgettable experiences,” he says.21. Coston can’t sleep well on Saturday nights because _____.A. he has to work part-time at weekendsB. he has some sleeping problemsC. he has to do his job as a volunteer firefighterD. he always worries that there may be a fire22.

What does the underlined part “dream job” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Being a firefighter.B. Being a volunteer in a fire and rescue company.C. Being a flight doctor on a helicopter.D. Working in a hospital.DIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?26. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.A. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideB. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration（证明）before they leave without paying27. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____.A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.29. The word “those” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____.A. people who often take taxisB. people who are dishonestC. people who are worthy of trustD. people who often have meals in big hotels30. It can be learned that ______________.A. all the Finns are richB. Finland has been a good place for cheats（骗子）C. the Finnish society is of very high moral level （道德水平）D.

During the day, when we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we've chosen to sleep.On most space shuttle flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the space plane: the shuttle's computers and the enginersat the Control Office do that. If anything goes wrong. The computers ring a warning bell and the engineers call us on the radio.On the space shuttle, sleep-time doesn't mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute flight around the earth, the sun "rises" and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes: then it "sets" as our flight takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space, and we sleep differently. Some sleep upside down, some sideways, some right side up. When it's time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask, and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight platform. Then I get into the bag, and float into a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me.When I'm in space I don't need as much sleep as I do on Earth Maybe that's because when I am weightless, I don't feel as tired. Or maybe it's because I'm excited to be in space and don't want to waste time sleeping.41. What do the shuttle people do with their sleeping bags while working?A. Keep them where they work.B. Leave them where they sleep.C. Place them on the beds.D. Fix them to the wall.42. During sleeping time, the job of watching over the shuttle is done byA. the shuttle's radioB. the shuttle's warning bellC. people working in the shuttleD. engineers at the Control Office43. How often does the sun rise to people in the space shuttle?A. Every 140 minutes.B. Every 90 minutes.C. Every 50 minutes.D. Every 40 minutes.44. What do we know about people sleeping in the space shuttle?A. They sleep while listening to music.B. They have difficulty falling asleep.C. They sleep in different positions.D. They go to sleep when it is dark.45. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How to live in spaceB. How they sleep in spaceC. How to fall asleep in spaceD. How the space shuttle functionsBJune came and the hay (干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa withthe "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips(鞭子)in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their makers. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themsel ves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.46. The four men did not feed the cows becauseA. they had not cut the hay yetB. Mr. Jones wasn't at homeC. they did not have time to feed themD. the cows had fed themselves47. The cows broke into the storehouse because________.A. they did not like their mastersB. Mr. Jones forgot to lock the doorC. they were kept in the cow-house too longD. they were too hungry to wait for the feed48. What did the five men finally do with the cows?A. They chased and drove the cows away.B. They continued beating the cows.C. They gave up defense and ran away.D. They gave in and fed the cows.49. We can learn from the passage that________.A. the cows often ran out to look for foodB. the cows often had fights with their mastersC. Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsD. Mr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cows50. The underlined word " fright " in the last sentence is closes in meaning to______.A. fearB. surpriseC. dashD. protectionCThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorated" three rooms. One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room. Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your abilityto concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue, and green.Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy(亲密) that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others；but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.51. Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be___.A. less patientB. less considerateC. more enthusiasticD. more confident52 Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood ?A. Green.B. BlueC. OrangeD. Red.53. What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?A. Arousing active thinking.B. Improving work efficiencyC. Creating a tense atmosphere.D. Stimulating talks among peo ple.54. The underlined word "serene" in the last sentence is closes in meaning to_.A. serious and graveB. calm and peacefulC. pleasant and friendlyD. cold and indifferent55. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. We should create suitable environment for students to studyB. Color is an environmental factor affecting your mood and your abilityC. Researchers did an experiment to find out how the environment affects peopleD. Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature can affect peopleDChinese students aren’t the only ones who have a sleep loss problem. In Australia, teenagers are also missing out on, on average, one hour’s sleep every night during the school week.Organized activities and homework push bedtimes later, the first large-scale Australian study of children’s sleeping habits has revealed (显示). Their sleep deprivation (剥夺) is enough to cause “serious drop-offs in school performance, attention and memory”, and governments sh ould consider later or flexible school start times, said the study’s leader, Tim Olds.His survey, of more than 4,000 children aged 9 to 18, found those who slept least did not watch more television but spent their time socializing (相处) with family or friends or listening to music.“Almost all children get up at 7 or 7:15 —they have to get to school on time,” said Olds. He favors a later start over an earlier finish because he believes or ganized sports and activities would still consume the latter end of the day.Olds’ research also establishes lack of sleep as a cause of weight gain in children, and a possible source of future problems with depression, anxiety and increased susceptibility (易感性) to illness.It was already known that overweight children sleep less, but Professor Olds found sleep duration(时长) was strongly linked to weight across the full range of body sizes. The thinnest children sleep 20 minutes more than the obese. This showed being overweight had no specific effect on sleep patterns, and it was more likely that shorter sleep times stimulate (刺激) appetite and make kids hungry.The US National Sleep Foundation says teenagers aged 13 to 18 need eight to nine hours’ sleep a night.

It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University of Londo n study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them—specifically, the bacteria called E. coli.The research on bacteria and viruses led to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation (辐射) used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges.“There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.”PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Ins tead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d plug it into the PhoneSoap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes says, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.”The co-founders spent 2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, PhoneSoap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling PhoneSoap nonstop. “We’re shipping almost more than we can handle each day,” Barnes says. “It’s been a great adventure.”4. We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.A. phones can be very dirtyB. phones are where bacteria are bornC. most phones are attacked by bacteriaD. phones store more bacteria in a restroom5. According to the passage, PhoneSoap ______.A. takes a whole night to kill bacteriaB. deals with bacteria with radiationC. is a kind of liquid like dishwasher soapD. has to be plugged into the wall to work6. From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. PhoneSoap is in great demand nowB. PhoneSoap is really hard to handleC. they can’t produce enough PhoneSoapD. they’ll make improvements to PhoneSoap7. What’s the passage mainly about?A. Methods of cleaning phones.B. Tips on charging phones quickly.C. Soap killing harmful bacteria on phones.D. A phone charger keeping your phone clean.CWhat is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer graysand blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have feweraccidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choosea piece of handkerchief.8. According to this passage, _______________.A. one can choose his color preferenceB. one is born with his color preferenceC. one’s color preference is changeableD. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly9. If someone choose a red handkerchief, he will probably do the following things EXCEPT___.A.Becoming a leader.B.Joining the Student Union.C.Always complain and blame others.D.Getting along well with others10. “I am feeling black” means ____________.A. I am feeling wellB. I am very happyC. I am excitedD. I am depressed11. The main idea of this passage is _____________.A. one’s color preference shows one’s characterB. you can brighten your life with wonderful colorsC. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preferenceD. one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors haveeffects onhuman beingsDResearchers at the University of Chicago have trained an artificial intelligence system, to write fake reviews on Yelp, a website showing customers reviews on shopping or something else, and it's pretty hard to tell them apart from a human review.Their study, which will be presented at the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security in October, aimed to throw attention onto how easily these systems can write reviews like humans and how damaging they can become if they’renot monitored properly.Since many small businesses rely on online reviews to help grow and keep their reputation, a future where someone—like a rival or angry customer—could crazily fill their page with negative reviews written by a machine is pretty worrying.And, according to the research team, the threat goes far beyond a bunch of fake reviews on Yelp. “In general the threat is bigger,” Ben Y. Zhao. one of the authors of the study, said. “I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not. I think that' s going to be even unimaginable.”To test how believable these reviews came across, the researchers invited 40 volunteers and had AI generate five fake reviews for 40 actual restaurants. The volunteers were asked how useful they thought the review was and whether or not they thought it was fake. The AI reviews ranked as “effectively indistinguishable” from real reviews，according to the study. Further, the fake reviews were given a 3.15 "usefulness" rating, compared to a 3.28 rating for human reviews.12. What can the new artificial intelligence system do according to the passage？A. It can help train new reviewers.B. It can tell the real reviews from the fake ones.C. It can write human-like reviews.D. It can easily damage the businesses.13. What does the underlined word "rival'' mean in the passage?A. A person who respects you deeply.B. A person who competes with you.C. A person who loves to give fake reviews.D. A person who can control you from distance.14. What can we infer from Ben Y. Zhao's remarks?A. Artificial intelligence can put the society in danger.B. The artificial intelligence is only used by the researchersC. Ben Y. Zhao is optimistic about the further development of artificialintelligence.D. The artificial intelligence will help people shake.15. What is the best title for the passage?A. Tips Suggestions on Giving Reviews.B. How to Tell the Fake Reviews.C. Development of AI in Review on Yelp.D. AI is Coming to Steal Your Reviews.第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确答案。

As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question,” Who does the housework? ” The men answered very differently from the women!The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish(丹麦的) men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all!But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth!

She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备）and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''5．Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didn't want others to hear her playB. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C. Because she didn't have her own roomD. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.6．Brenda started to give concerts .A. after she practiced in her space bubbleB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronautD. when people came to see her in the space bubble7．Brenda became famous because .A. she was good at music and scienceB. she became a real musical astronautC. she invented a special way of practiceD. she played well and had a talent8．It can be inferred from the text that: " ".A. He laughs best who laughs lastB. It's never too old to learnC. Two heads are better than oneD. One good turn deserves anotherCFour people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51. It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA .The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalind Franklin. “She should have been up there,” says historian Mary Bowden. “If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitorsAt Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflecting the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant .But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their earlymodels was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to go or be put in her place.”As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin. Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.”No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other play er to solving the structure of DNA. She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light.9. What is the text mainly about?A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.C. The process of discovering DNA.D. The race between two teams of scientists.10. Watson was angry with Franklin because she .A. took the lead in the competitionB. kept her results from himC. proved some of his findings wrongD. shared her data with other scientists11. The underlined phrase “backed up” in the last paragraph probably means ．A. supportedB. arguedC. toleratedD. rejected12.Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?A. She developed pictures in dark labs.B. She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.C. Her name was forgotten after her death.D. Her contribution was unknown to the public.DLast summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood.These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader explanation of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that e mployees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的), because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’ re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris said.Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish(滋养) the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.13. Low technology is regarded as something that .A. is related to natureB. is out of date todayC. consumes too much energyD. exists in the virtual world14. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings .A. have destroyed many pre-industrial artsB. have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsC. can become intelligent by learning historyD. can regain their individual identity by using machines15. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as .A. positiveB. defensiveC. cautiousD. doubtful第二部分 阅读填空（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
