And while much of his job today is related to EMS(emergency medical services)，his first love is fighting fires. "I enjoy the job and working with people. I enjoy firefighting.” he says.Davis studied in a firefighting school for about three months and took part in classroom work，physical exercise，and hands-on training such as fighting live fires in buildings filled with straw.Davis says the blindfold(蒙眼的)training prepared him for real fires. "By the time we get to a fire，if it’s going pretty good，the whole house will be filled with smoke. And anytime you get near the fire, you won’t be able to see at all. Zero visibility(能见性)is the same as darkness. The blindfold training works.”Davis believes his most important duty is mak ing sure he’s prepared for any situation he might come across. To keep physically fit，he runs several times a week and works out. He takes classes to keep up his skills and trains regularly by fighting practice fires. Sometimes this includes cutting holes in roofs, which helps allow smoke to pass out and improves visibility for firefighters inside the building.Firefighting means plenty of risks. Besides，Davis says·"You have to be willing to help any person you come across.” If someone is trapped，Davis or another firefighter will put himself at risk to get the person out. Davis says he is not afraid when he’s fighting a fire. He does what’s needed.4．What is David’s main duty at present?A.Providing emergency medical care.B.Fighting fires in tall buildings.C.Giving firefighters training.D.Saving people trapped in fires. 5．Where did David learn firefighting?A.In the army.B.In the hospital.}C.In the classroom.D.In a professional school.6．Why were learners trained blindfold?A.To experience how the blind feel.B.To protect their eyes from the smoke.C.To recreate a real fire situation.D.To prepare for firefighting at night. 7．What can we infer about Davis?A.He was once an army man.B.He tries his best to be a good firefighter.C.He helps improve the working conditions.D.He is worried about the safety of firefighters.For some people, running outdoors is a great way to exercise. What may not be so great is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging! Plogging began in Sweden in 2016. A Swedish man named Erik Ahlstrom became concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work and he began picking up the trash. That is how plogging was born!Plogging, by that term，may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington，D．C．He would often pick up trash while running outside. He even turned it into a game; he would try to pick up the trash without stopping.Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Plogging can build closer social connections in a community, and it can also be fun. When Dana Allen goes plogging around D．C., she invites her friends, and they make a day of it. Although Allen enjoys plogging，she doesn’t do it all the time. When she is training for a serious marathon race，the trash has to wait.Cities around the world now hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable. Along with cleaning up the environment, there may be another reason to choose plogging. One fitness app，Lifesum，records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories. Usual jogging burns about 235 calories.Getting ready to plog is similar to getting ready to jog. Ploggers do some deep knee bendsas well as some balancing exercises and then they put on protective gloves. There are other safety rules for plogging. The main one is to plog in areas where there are not too many people. Stopping quickly in front of someone. to pick up an empty bag of potato chips, for example, could cause a crash.8．What do we know about Jeff Horowitz from the text?A.He was the first person to plog.B.He has been actually plogging.C.He is in support of eco-travelling.D.He is an expert in picking up trash. 9．What is so special about Dana Allen’s plogging?A.She doe sn’t always do it with her friends.B.She always finds it interesting to do it.C.She nearly does it in a park every day.D.She doesn’t insist doing it every day.10．What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A.Picking up trash is important.B.Plogging events are of little use.C.Plogging is a better workout.D.The idea of plogging is strange. 11．Why should ploggers choose to plog in less crowded areas?A.To avoid a crash.B.To save energy.C.To pick up more trash.D.To make it unknown.Anyone who has studied biology, watched a nature documentary, or, for that matter, simply enjoyed time in the outdoors, has likely been amazed by the variety of plant and animal life on our planet.To date, about 1.5 million species have been formally described in the scientific literature, most of them insects. Proportionally, bacteria make up less than 1% of all described species.Scientists generally agree that many more species exist than are formally described，but they disagree about how many there really are. Some studies have estimated 2 million or fewer, whereas others suggest as many as 12 million. In a new paper published in The Quarterly Review of Biology，researchers from the University of Arizona have estimated that there are roughly 2 billion living species on Earth, over a thousand times more than the current number of described species. In coming up with their estimate，the researchers took advantage of the fact that many estimates now agree on the projected number of insect species, around 6.8 million. They incorporated new estimates of species boundaries revealed by DNA sequences,which suggest there might be six times as many insect species，increasing the total to 40 million for insect species alone.They then reviewed all groups of organisms associated with insects as parasites. They found that each insect species most likely hosts a unique species of mite(螨)，roundworm，a one-celled microsporidian(微孢子虫), and a one-celled organism called apicomplexan(顶覆虫). Most importantly, the researchers estimated that each insect species is likely to host at least 10 bacterial species found nowhere else. Based on these estimates，they conclude that there should be around 2 billion species on Earth.12．How many bacterial species are formally described in the scientific literature?A.About 1.5 billion.B.About 1.5 million.C.About 150 thousand.D.About 15 thousand.13．Which of the following do scientists generally agree on?A.There are many more species not included in the scientific literature.B.There are about 1.5 million insects described in the scientific literature.C.There are about 12 million species existing but not known to the scientists.D.There tire about 6. 8 million insect species not hosting parasites.14．Which word can best explain "hosts" underlined in the last paragraph?A.Attracts.B.Supports.C.Kills.D.Invites.15．What’s the main idea of the passage?A.A discovery of new bacterial species.B.Different theories to estimate species.C.A new estimate of biodiversity on Earth.D.Different opinions on the number of species.二、完形填空A couple days ago, my 9-year-old son and I were grocery shopping.

He was 20 . He didn't understand me. I was trying to do an act of kindness , but it 21 .The lady 22 with her son and fewer groceries than she had planned. I told the checkout guy to 23 me for her milk and cheese and that we'd run to the parking lot and 24 her. He said"You do that? "and I said"Yes, I've been there before and want to 25 they have what they need. ”He quickly called the manager back, 26 up my items and hers, and my son and I ran to the 27 . But the mom and her son 28 . I have no idea where they went. They were gone in 60 seconds and with them went my 29 to gift these necessary items. We were too late. I felt 30 and terrible for not speaking up and telling her what I wanted to do for her, 31 I wouldn't miss the chance for 32 . I kept thinking about my 33 : because I didn't want to 34 her,didn't want to cause a fuss(忙乱)...So I ask myself and you dear friends, if we allow our minds to 35 our actions towards acting for love and kindness, is it still an act of kindness?16．A.space B.knowledge C.money D.time17．A.removed B.stopped C.found D.demanded 18．A.arrangements B.possibilities C.chances D.times19．A.yet B.even C.again D.also20．A.excited B.confused C.regretful D.thoughtful 21．A.moved on B.slowed down C.took place D.went wrong 22．A.slipped B.left C.signaled D.returned 23．A.charge B.promise C.forgive D.pay24．A.watch B.understand C.catch D.thank25．A.pay back B.go back C.pick up D.make sure 26．A.rang B.picked C.raised D.brought 27．A.car B.gate C.grocery D.parking lot 28．A.separated B.disappeared C.mistook D.missed 29．A.contribution B.thought C.opportunity D.mood30．A.ashamed B.lucky C.anxious D.hopeless 31．A.but B.or C.though D.thus32．A.success B.celebration C.kindness D.expression 33．A.fault B.hesitation C.difficulty D.expectation 34．rm B.disturb C.embarrass D.shock35．A.fill B.quicken C.strengthen D.slow第II卷（非选择题）三、七选五Why don’t birds on a wire get a shock? 36．Firstly, the bird not only forms a circuit with the wire，but it also offers a high resistance to current，so the current passes through the wire instead of the bird.It’s a bit like this, would you prefer going on a smooth road or a road full of potholes? The answer is obvious and just like you.37．All objects offer some amount of resistance to the flow of current，depending on the material.38．However the more important reason why current does not pass through the bird is, there is barely any, if at all. voltage difference(电压差)across the bird. Current flow is actually just the flow of minute charged particles that are invisible to the naked eye.39．The amount of energy needed to move the charges from one point to another is measured in terms of the potential difference between the two points.A bird perched on high-tension wires has both its feet placed firmly on the same wire, so the potential difference from one end of the bird to the other is，for all purposes, next to nil(零).If the bird were to touch the wire and simultaneously another wire, it would receive a mild shock. On the other hand if it were to touch the wire and some other object connected to the ground, it would receive a deadly shock.40．A．Many of us are puzzled at it.B．There are two reasons for that.C．The current prefers taking the easier path.D．This explains why birds don’t get shocked on a wire.E. This is just one of the reasons why birds don’t get a shock.F. The greater the potential difference, the greater is the current flow.G. These charged particles need an energy input in order for them to get transferred.四、语法填空阅读下面材料，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。

BBIf you’re a cycling lover, you will have to pay a lot of attention to your bicycle and maintain itwell, for bicycle parts are exposed to wear and tear (磨损) over time and you have to examine the bicycle to see if there are any signs of wearing such as scratches, dents (凹陷) etc. Sometimes, a part may not work because it has exceeded its life expectancy. Sometimes, you will need to find replacement parts for it to keep up the performance of the bicycle.Different parts of a bicycle will wear at different rates so it is very important that you have a basic understanding about the role played by each part. One of the most important parts of the bicycle is the frame. You will need to choose a frame that lasts for a very long time. Of course, you will see some paint scratches after some time. When you’re selecting a frame, you have to think about the material. Aluminium (铝) frames will not rust easily, but they have a higher chance to dent. Steel frames will be hard to dent, but you will need to make sure they get a good paint job so that they won’t rust.Other parts that you can buy used are seats, handlebars and the stem. When you are buying handlebars, you have to see if there are any dents or if they have been bent out of shape. There shouldn’t be any cracks in the seat post or the handlebars. There are many shops where you can buy parts, so you will have to check the references to see how customers respond to them before you buy anything.4. According to the passage, cycling lovers should ________.A. buy a new bicycle to keep up the performanceB. replace the bicycle parts with signs of wearingC. choose Aluminum frames rather than steel onesD. learn how each part of the bicycle basically works5. Which parts may be replaced by the used ones?A. Wheels and chains.B. Tyres and seats.C. Handlebars and stems.D. Frames and pedals.6.

DCOctober 15th is the Global Hand washing Day. Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example，donors(捐赠者) will give 150，000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap atso-called important moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Hand washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for hand washing with soap. Partners include the United Nations Children's Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps areequally effective at removing disease-causing germ(细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub(揉搓) it into all areas, including under the fingernails(指甲). Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.The Partnership for Hand washing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell. The Partnership for Hand washing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine(疫苗)or medicine. Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases. When people get germs on their hands, they can infect(感染)themselves by touching their eyes, noses or mouths. Then they can infect others.8. What's the best title for this passage？A. Say no to washing hands in the wrong way.B. Find out why washing hands carefully is so important.C.

AOn my recent trip to Sydney with my parents, we visited the Wildlife Park.The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals. Some are native(当地的) to Australia and can only be found there.

We were allowed to touch and feed them. It wasvery exciting to be so close tothem. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的).

Some of them are really big and scary with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species they had.

Shelley Black，the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Center focuses on not only rescuing young abandoned wolves but educating the public．Unlike other centers，you can actually walk with the wolves and have exciting，hands﹣on interaction with them here．And so，we gathered one late winter morning to learn，prepare and walk．Scrappy and Flora，our wolves that day，were brought to the center when only a few days old．"They lived in the house with us for the first several months．We treated them like human babies，fed them and slept with them，" said Shelley．So，they are totally used to people．However，these are wild animals．For that reason，Shelley and Casey explained，the walk is totally on the wolf's terms．"We don't approach them，but if they come up to us，we can touch them．"With all this in mind，we headed for the woods．We were walking on a logging road when suddenly，Flora，all 60 pounds of her，hurried up to me and raised up on her legs．She was almost as tall as me．As she leaned in，put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face，apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk．We walked farther，maybe half a mile，while Scrappy and Flora dashed in and out of the woods stopping to occasionally roll in the snow，dig for this or that and just play．Then weall headed into the trees to a picturesque stream where the wolves splashed，drank and had a great time．One could point out that this whole adventure was staged and quite artificial．But the purpose，Casey and Shelley said，is to explain the wolves' place in the environment and，primarily，to let people know wolves don' t have to be universally feared﹣they really don' t hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people，but they' d rather avoid people，for the most part．（1）How is the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Center different from others？A．It trains and educates wild wolves．B．It aims to rescue young abandoned wolves．C．It raises wolves for commercial purposes．D．It allows visitors to take a walk with wolves．（2）What can be inferred from Shelley and Casey's explanation in Paragraph 2？A．The walk can be potentially dangerous．B．The wolves have lost all their wildness．C．People should get close to the wolves actively．D．The wolves can read people's mind like human babies．（3）Why did Flora behave like that when she saw the author on the logging road？A．To express curiosity．B．To show friendliness．C．To attract attention．D．To seek companionship．（4）Why do Casey and Shelley organize such an adventure？A．To advertise the center．B．To publicize wolf hunting．C．To promote environmental protection．D．To clarify some conventional views of wolves．13．（8分）Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience farm life？If not，Dr．Cindy Ayers﹣Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms．The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple．When Ayers﹣Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation，she didn' t have to look any further than her state' s alarming health statistics to find a mission．Everywhere she turned，there were reports of high blood pressure，diabetes，obesity and heart disease．"The problem was already identified．" explains Ayers﹣Elliott．"Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn't take research to see that．And many of the state' s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet．"These days，Foot Print Farms，which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables，is making fresh，naturally grown food．"When speaking of the key to my success，the co﹣op model works because we share the work and rewards，" notes Ayers﹣Elliott．" A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team．To earn the money for equipment and other items，players committed to working five hours a week on the farm，and by the end of the summer they had produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights，T﹣shirts，sweat suits and pregame meals．But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts．""It' s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I' m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that﹣﹣to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities，"Ayers﹣Elliott remarks．She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism aspect to the farm，where visitors can experience farm life，learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home．（1）What made Ayers﹣Elliott set up Foot Print Farms？A．The problems faced by local farmers．B．Her further research into heart disease．C．The failure of her career after graduation．D．The health state of people in her hometown．（2）Why does the author take the football team as an example？A．To advocate the concept of independence．B．To stress the importance of teamwork．C．To support the idea of co﹣op model．D．To explore the key to success．（3）What is Ayers﹣Elliott' s attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms？A．Optimistic．B．Skeptical．C．Cautious．D．Ambiguous．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．Naturally grown food benefits people's health．B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi．C．Ayers﹣Elliott encourages people to experience farmD．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America．14．（8分）We can video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest．But communicating with a submarine （潜艇）or a diver is not so easy．The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists．The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water．Sonar （声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the air．Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication．"What we've shown is that it's actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，" says Fadel Adib，a professor at MJT's Media Lab，who led the research．The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface，making vibrations （震动）corresponding to the ls and Os of the data．A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations．The researchers call the system TARF．It has any number of potential real﹣world uses，Adib says．It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane' s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface．Right now the technology is low﹣resolution．The initial study was conducted in theMIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet．The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions﹣high waves，storms，schools of fish．They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction﹣air to water．If the technology proves successful in real﹣world conditions，expect "texting while diving" to be the latest underwater fashion．（1）What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1？A．The future of video chat underwater and in air．B．The frustrations of developing underwater devices．C．The difficulty of communication from water to air．D．The current situation of communicating with a submarine．（2）What does the underlined word "feasible" mean？A．Achievable．B．Convenient．C．Changeable．D．Alternative．（3）What do we know about TARF？A．It is widely used to find downed planes．B．It can work well at great depths underwater．C．It is an underwater machine that sends signals．D．It can send，receive and read signals from underwater．（4）What is the best title for the text？A．The Real﹣world Uses of Sonar TechnologyB．Full Water﹣to﹣air Communication Closer to RealityC．A Breakthrough in the Application of Video ChatD．TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication第二节（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．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）Apologizing the Right Way to a FriendWhy are apologies so difficult？Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do．But we all make mistakes，so you'll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize．Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly．（1）Whatever the reason，apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation．（2）First，you acknowledge that you did something wrong．With an apology，you take responsibility for your actions，which allows your friend to forgive you．Second，an apology gives you sincerity as a friend．（3），but that doesn' t mean you still shouldn't apologize．Now，what are elements of a proper apology？（4），depending on what the offense was，where it was done，and who you are apologizing to．In general，a good apology should include the following：a request for their attention，an acknowledgment of what happened，sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words．"I'm sorry" or "I apologize．"Here are things never to say when apologizing．Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility．Never apologize as a way to "shut someone up" when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don't think you did．（5），you should talk things through with your friend until you see why they are hurt or how you came across．You'll really need to self﹣reflect so you can see things from your friend' s point of view．A．When you make your apology in personB．If you really believe you did nothing wrongC．Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of waysD．The way you apologize is going to be slightly differentE．Or maybe you just didn't show support when you needed toF．Apologizing the right way，however，may take a little practiceG．Sometimes our pals forgive us easily for the minor things we do wrong第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．16．（30分）Greenberg was a lucky guy to enter Columbia University on full scholarship．But just before

in 1998 by Casey and Shelley Black，the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Center focuses on not only rescuing young abandoned wolves but educating the public．Unlike other centers，you can actually walk with the wolves and have exciting，hands﹣on interaction with them here．And so，we gathered one late winter morning to learn，prepare and walk．Scrappy and Flora，our wolves that day，were brought to the center when only a few days old．"They lived in the house with us for the first several months．We treated them like human babies，fed them and slept with them，" said Shelley．So，they are totally used to people．However，these are wild animals．For that reason，Shelley and Casey explained，the walk is totally on the wolf's terms．"We don't approach them，but if they come up to us，we can touch them．"With all this in mind，we headed for the woods．We were walking on a logging road when suddenly，Flora，all 60 pounds of her，hurried up to me and raised up on her legs．She was almost as tall as me．As she leaned in，put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face，apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk．We walked farther，maybe half a mile，while Scrappy and Flora dashed in and out of the woods stopping to occasionally roll in the snow，dig for this or that and just play．Then we all headed into the trees to a picturesque stream where the wolves splashed，drank and had a great time．One could point out that this whole adventure was staged and quite artificial．But the purpose，Casey and Shelley said，is to explain the wolves' place in the environment and，primarily，to let people know wolves don' t have to be universally feared﹣they really don' t hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people，but they' d rather avoid people，for the most part．（1）How is the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Center different from others？DA．It trains and educates wild wolves．B．It aims to rescue young abandoned wolves．C．It raises wolves for commercial purposes．D．It allows visitors to take a walk with wolves．（2）What can be inferred from Shelley and Casey's explanation in Paragraph 2？A A．The walk can be potentially dangerous．B．The wolves have lost all their wildness．C．People should get close to the wolves actively．D．The wolves can read people's mind like human babies．（3）Why did Flora behave like that when she saw the author on the logging road？B A．To express curiosity．B．To show friendliness．C．To attract attention．D．To seek companionship．（4）Why do Casey and Shelley organize such an adventure？DA．To advertise the center．B．To publicize wolf hunting．C．To promote environmental protection．D．To clarify some conventional views of wolves．【分析】本文主要讲述了作者他们和Northern Lights野生动物狼中心的狼一起体念狼的生活习性的故事．【解答】答案：1﹣4DABD1．D．细节理解题．根据文章第一段Unlike other centers，you can actually walk with the wolves and have exciting，hands﹣on interaction with them here．可知与其他中心不同的是，你可以和狼一起行走，并在这里与它们进行令人兴奋的、动手的互动．由此可见，它允许游客和狼一起散步．故选D．2．A．推理判断题．根据第二段For that reason，Shelley and Casey explained，the walk is totally on the wolf's terms．"We don't approach them，but if they come up to us，we cantouch them．"可知出于这个原因，雪莱和凯西解释说，走路完全是按照狼的说法，"我们不接近他们，但如果他们接近我们，我们可以触摸他们．"由此可见，步行可能有潜在的危险．故选A．3．B．细节理解题．根据文章第三段We were walking on a logging road when suddenly，Flora，all 60 pounds of her，hurried up to me and raised up on her legs．She was almost as tall as me．As she leaned in，put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face，apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk．可知我们在一条伐木路上走着，突然，弗洛拉，她60磅重的身躯，冲到我跟前，用腿站起来．她几乎和我一样高．当她靠在我身上，把她泥泞的大爪子放在我肩上，闻了闻我的脸，显然她是在和狼说话时打招呼．由此可见，它主要是表示友好．故选B．4．D．推理判断题．根据最后一段But the purpose，Casey and Shelley said，is to explain the wolves' place in the environment and，primarily，to let people know wolves don' t have to be universally feared﹣they really don' t hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people，but they' d rather avoid people，for the most part．可知但是，凯西和雪莱说，目的是解释狼在环境中的位置，主要是让人们知道狼不必普遍害怕，它们真的不需要躲在树林里等着吃人，但在大多数情况下，它们宁愿避开人．由此可见，凯西和雪莱组织这样的冒险是为了澄清对狼的一些传统看法．故选D．【点评】考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．13．（8分）Have

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Mexico sites on an island plateau (高原) surrounded by volcanic peaks, which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there.In April, the country took a decisive step toward improving air quality by enacting a temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban.Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides.Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality.For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air.（1）How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city?A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week.B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday.C. By limiting the number of new cars.D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.（2）What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles?A. Raised the number of public vehicles.B. Offered free bus and subway rides.C. Introduced more travel options.D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city.（3）What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico?A. Alternate-day rules.B. Tax rises.C. Congestion charge.D. The rainy season.（4）What's the best title for the passage?A. Mexico —an Island PlateauB. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in MexicoC. Should Cities Be Car-free ZonesD. How to Improve Air Quality【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，墨西哥墨西哥政府为了提高空气质量，在实施车辆禁令时提供免费巴士和地铁。

2019-2020学年安徽大学附属学校高三英语下学期期末试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AYou have to praise the smoothness（顺畅）of ants on the move. No matter how many of them are going toward a place, there's never a hold-up. A new research paper shows how ants keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions.For their experiments, researchers from the University of Toulouse focused on Argentine ants, animals that often move from colony（群落）to colony depending on where the food is. Making use of Argentine ants' talent for fast travel, the researchers built bridges connecting their colonies. The bridges were different in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch. The colonies, too, were of different sizes, ranging from 400 to more than 25,000 ants.Then the researchers sat back andmonitoredthe traffic. To their surprise, even when those narrower bridges were full of ants, there were no "traffic accidents". "When the number of ants on the bridge increased, ants seemed to be able to understand the situation and adjusted（调整）their speed accordingly to avoid making the traffic flow stop. "the authors note. "Moreover, ants avoided entering a busy road and made sure that the bridge was never too packed to cross.”The lesson for humans? The traffic problem may lie in our inability to adjust our driving habits for the good of the whole. Driving is fun when there are few cars on the road. Then the traffic moves very slowly. And yet, some impatient driver still acts like he's alone on the road.The research suggests that projects, like the ever-widening of highways, may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own habits, no matter how many other people are on the road, we'll always end up in a traffic jam. Indeed, less space may actually be a good thing. It leaves less room for individual choice and forces us to take a page from the driving book of ants.1. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The results of the experiments.B. The purpose of the experimentsC. The preparation of the experiments.D. The requirements of the experiments2. What does the underlined word "monitor" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. watch and check.B. seek and improveC. design and planD. discuss and practise3. What is the best title for the text?A. Is widening highways a solution?B. Why don't ants need traffic lights?C. Can we learn safe driving from ants?D. What can ants teach us about traffic jams?BPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.4. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by anIQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.5. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.6. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.7. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.CScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.8. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C. Strengthen.D. Weaken.9. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?A. Restore the damaged reefs.B. Grow corals by hand underwater.C. Create more protected areas.D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.10. What do Gunning's words suggest?A. Many corals have been genetically improved.B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Relationship between corals and algaeB. Efforts made to save coralsC. Impact of climate warming on coralsD. Survival crisis faced by coral reefsDThe shade of a single tree can provide welcome relief from the hot summer sun. But when that single tree is part of a small forest, it creates a considerable cooling effect. According to a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, trees play a big role in keeping our cities cool.According to the study, the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. And the effect is quite noticeable from neighborhood to neighborhood, even down to the scale of a single city block. “We knew that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside, but we found that temperatures vary just as much within cities,” says Monica Turner, a professor in the department of Integrative Biology, Wisconsin-Madison University and a co-author of the study.With climate change making extreme heat events more common each summer, city planners are working on how to prepare. Heat waves drive up energy demands and costs and can have big human health impacts. One potentially powerful tool, the study's authors say, are organisms that have been around long before human civilizations could appreciate their leafy benefits. And those trees may be the secret to keeping the places we live livable.Essentially, says Turner, roads, sidewalks and buildings absorb heat from the sun during the day and slowly release that heat at night. Trees, on the other hand, not only shade those surfaces from the sun's rays, they also release water into the air through their leaves, a process that cools things down.To get the maximum benefit of this cooling service, the study found that tree cover must be more than 40percent. In other words, an aerial picture of a single city block would need to be nearly half-way covered by a leafy green network of branches and leaves.12. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Temperatures in cities mainly depend on their green coverage.B. People living and working in cities must plant trees in summer.C. Cities are warmer than the countryside because they don't have trees.D. An area with more trees can be cooler than the other parts within a city.13. Which of the following problems is caused by extreme heat events?A. Severe damage of city facilities.B. Serious human health problems.C. Residents' growing demands for plants.D. Unnecessary waste of energy resources.14. Why are trees crucial to cities?A. They help shade and cool the cities.B. They make urban scenery beautiful.C. They build up city cooling systems.D. They essentially block and release heat.15. What can city planners conclude from the study?A. They should publish the study in a newspaper.B. They should educate citizens to protect forests.C. They should plant trees on roads and sidewalks.D. They should cover nearly half the city with trees.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
