(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AChinese New Year is approaching and preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns , previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.San FranciscoSan Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Maur itian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century bysettlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.1. According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?A. London’s Chinatown.B. Bangkok’s Chinatown.C. Mauritius’s Chinatown.D. San Francisco’s Chinatown.2. What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?A. It is crowded with Chinese restaurants.B. It is well-known for its gold business.C. It was the major entrance for the Chinese.D. It is where you can enjoy fireworks.3. If you want to enjoy the Dragon Dances, you can go to ______.A. Rue Royale in Port Louis, Mauritius.B. the Sunday market in Bangkok.C. the Grant Avenue in San Francisco.D. the Chinese community in London.BI once had an unforgettable experience that has influenced and directed the way I think and act now.When I was about seven years old, my grandfather took me to a fish pond ona farm and told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone. “You may create lots of circles in your life, but the waves that come from those circles will disturb the peace of all your fellow people,” he said thoughtfully. “Remember that your circle may touch many other circles, meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others’ lives. You are responsible for what you put in your circle. You will need to live in a way that allows the good or peace that comes from your circle tobe sent to others. At the same time, the anger or jealousy(嫉妒) coming from your circle also spread to other circles. You are responsibl e for both.”That was the first time I had realized that each person’s inner peace or discord(不和谐) can flow out into the world. If we are filled with inner conflict, doubt or anger, we cannot create world peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever circles are inside us, they are spreading into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.4. The author’s grandfather took him/her to the fish pond to_______.A. go fishing togetherB. teach him/her a meaningful truth of lifeC. play a fun game with the authorD. correct his/her wrong doings5.What does the author want to say by telling us his unforgettable experience?A. We cannot control our feelings that disturb othersB. We shouldn’t keep in touch with other people.C. What we think and do can influence others’ lives.D. It’s difficult to keep a good relationship with other p eople.6. The author would probably agree that we should________.A. send our anger to other peopleB. share our happiness with other peopleC. complain about the misfortune in our livesD. hide our feelings and never express them to others7.What is the purpose of writing this passage?A. To teach the young people how to hold their feelings and thoughts.B. To indicate the importance of an unforgettable experience.C. To recall the experience of fishing.D. To tell people to create beauty and harmony.CMusic is something that every person has his or her own specific opinion about. Different people have different tastes, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, comforting, energizing,and many more.There are so many types of music out there today. Rap, pop, rock, country, alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have the same taste. People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about what they think is better but it’s just their own o pinions.Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music in the world. The lyrics (歌词) sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in their own personal lives. Music can also serve as a motivation for new ideas. When people listen to the new things out there, they learn different things going on in the world and they become more open-minded because they’re exposed to different people like the artists.People can use music to express themselves in ways it can’t be expressed through behavior, or art. You can usually tell how someone feels by the type of music he or she is listening to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can come together and gather at concerts and shows to show what their interests and likings are and you see how many people have similar likings as you. 8.What can we know about music according to the first paragraph?A. All people like listening to music in some way.B. Preference for music varies from person to person.C. There are four kinds of impact music can bring about.D. Different types of music have the same impact on people.9.People are likely to become friends because of ________.A. the same taste of musicB. the good impact of musicC. the attraction of different ideasD. the arguments about music style 10.Music can serve as a motivation for new ideas by ________.A. giving listeners controversial lyricsB. setting up role models like the artistsC. opening listeners’ mind to new thoughtsD. impressing listeners with familiar images11.What can we know from the last paragraph?A. The music you listen to shows how you feel.B. Music expresses oneself better than behavior.C. The music one listens to determines his or her feelings.D. Music is tool to make different people become friends.Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.12. What can we learn about crossing one's legs?A. It is a very bad social habit.B. It can do harm to people's health.C. It is usually practiced deliberately.D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.13. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can______.A. affect your blood pressure.B. resist gravity effectively.C. lead to heart attacks easily.D. improve the function of legs.14. In the t hird paragraph “pins and needles” probably means______.A. being highly flexible.B. being a little tired.C. serious muscle injuries.D. slight sharp pains.15. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To compare common habitsB. To evaluate effects of an experiment.C. To give readers some advice.D. To introduce research methods.第二节(共5小题每小题2分满分10分)根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第I卷(选择题)一、阅读理解:本大题共16小题,共38分。
AA Midsummer Night's Dream may be one of Shakespeare's most performed play—but its latest version from the Royal Shakespeare Company will be unlike any seen before.Titled Dream,the 50-minute online production combines live performance with motion-capture (动作捕捉)technology,3 D graphics,and interactive gaming techniques that let audiences remotely guide the leading character Puck through a virtual forest.As live theater put some seriously high-tech fairy (小精灵)factors into practice,Dream promises to bring the rarest version of the play to our screens.In 2016,the theater's production of The Tempest used live motion-capture technology to create a 3 D digital image that was projected above the stage.The difference this time is that everything in the play—the performers and their surroundings—will be shown virtually.Seven actors will perform in a specially-built studio in Portsmouth,southern England,wearing motion-capture suits.They will be surrounded by a 360-degree camera set,made up of 47 cameras with every movement almost immediately presented digitally,which is presented to viewers online.With its much-reduced characters,Dream is not a complete production of A Midsummer Night's Dream;rather,it is a story inspired by it,focusing on Puck and the fairies.Up to 2,000 audience members for each performance can become part of the show and will be invited to guide Puck through the forest.Onscreen,the chosen audience will appear as a cloud of tiny fireflies (萤火虫).By using their mouse or finger on the screen of a smart device,they will be able to move their firefly across the screen,and Puck will be at their beck and call to go through the virtual space.For viewers watching at home,the virtual fairies moving through adigital forest will look more like a video game than the average Royal Shakespeare Company show.But the performances are delivered live and in real time.Every night's performance will be unique."Without the fireflies—the audiences—Puck wouldn't be going anywhere," said E.M.Williams who plays the role. "The audiences are very much the fuel and the energy of the show."1.What makes Dream different from The Tempest?______A. The number of actors and actresses.B. The surroundings around the performers.C. The 3 D digital image it chooses to show.D. The way it presents everything in the play.2.Which aspect of the play does Paragraph 3 focus on?______A. Its leading characters.B. The design of its content.C. Its production process.D. The inspiration for the play.3.What does the underlined part "be at their beck and call" in the last but one paragraph mean?______A. Be willing to guide them.B. Be likely to receive a call.C. Be difficult to control.D. Be ready to follow their order.4.What do E.M.Williams' words in the last paragraph show?______A. The cost of the show.B. The pleasure of the audiences.C. The importance of the audiences.D. The task of the leading character.BIt had always been assumed that the rarity of lightning in ocean storms was due to cleaner air over the vast seas,but keen observations have shown that even highly polluted air is associated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aerosols(气溶胶)are abundant.In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications,an international team of researchers describes their multi-year study of atmospheric conditions over the oceans bordering Africa and what it showed about salt in sea spray aerosols and its impact on lightning.The researchers obtained atmospheric data on Africa and the oceans around it for the period 2013 to 2017.The data included numbers of lightning flashes,rainfall,temperatures and cloud representations.They looked for differences in atmospheric conditions in storms that occurred over land versus those that occurred over the sea and found one main difference:the amount of salt in the air.Lightning is produced when upwardly moving air in clouds forms ice crystals(冰晶)—aerosol particles then begin to bump into one another,creating an electrical charge.Lightning happens when the electrical field in one part of the cloud becomes positively charged (usually at the top of the cloud)and another negatively charged (usually at the bottom of the cloud).And clouds form,of course,when vapor evaporates(蒸发)from the surface of the Earth and the water drops bond with aerosols.The researchers found that things are slightly different over the ocean.When water evaporates from the sea,it bears a load of salt.When the salt water bonds with aerosols to form water droplets,they tend to be bigger and heavier than those that form over land due to the salt—and that results in more of the water in the clouds falling as rain before it can rise up and form ice crystals.The result is far fewer lightning discharges.The researchers suggest their findings could be useful in improving the accuracy of both climate models and meteorological reports.It could also possibly lead some to attempt to seed storm clouds with salt to reduce their severity.5.What is the common belief of lightning over oceans?______A. Lightning pollutes the remote sea.B. Polluted air leads to less lightning at sea.C. Cleaner air results in less lightning at sea.D. Cleaner air contributes to more lightning at sea.6.How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3?______A. By presenting facts.B. By listing similarities.C. By giving examples.D. By making comparisons.7.How do water droplets on land differ from those at sea?______A. They drop much faster.B. They contain more water.C. They are bigger and heavier.D. They are smaller and lighter.8.What can be the best title for the text?______A. Salt in Sea Spray Worsens Storms over the Sea.B. Salt in Sea Spray Keeps Lightning Strikes Away.C. Lightning Strikes Are More Common over Oceans.D. Sea Spray Is Found Evaporating Faster over Oceans.CAround seven out of every ten Americans who work in offices do their work in an open environment,defined as at desks without meaningful partitions (隔板),according to an International Facility Management Association survey.Thatis,if they even have a desk——workers may be assigned only a few feet of a communal(共用的)table.The open-plan office space trend,popularized by creative agencies and technology start-ups,went mainstream because of the belief that open-space environments support innovation.More nearness between employees,the thinking went,would create more interaction and teamwork,promote social interaction and urge productivity.But in fact,purely open-plan offices have been shown to have the opposite effects,creating so much distraction(分心)that employees stayed away from each other.A study funded by Harvard Business Sehaol,the results of which were published last year,tracked what happened when a British company moved its employees from traditional office space,with offices with walls,to an open office.Face-to-face interaction became less——employees spent 72 percent less time interacting with their colleagues.Instead of talking more with each other,the employees put on headphones and began communicating by text and email.As digital communication channels surged,productivity declined. Neuroscience also holds some clues as to why the tight quarters in communal work spaces——where workers are only given about half the space they were given a decade ago——are so hard to work in. "The human voice sets off the most powerful emotional response in our auditory(听觉的)experience.Voice above 55 decibels(分贝)—— roughly the sound of a loud phone call——causes measurable stress," according to a Wall Street Journal article,"The Neuroscience-Optimized Office"."Even more troublesome are overheard 'halfversations',in which the listener only knows about one side of a dialogue;our brains automatically imagine the other," wrote authors John Medina and Ryan Mullenix.But the solution,say experts including Newport,isn't to go back to putting everyone into offices with walls.9.What can we learn about the open office trend according to paragraph 1?______A. It allows 10 people at most to work together.B. It is believed to stimulate workers' creativity.C. It is only popular with new technology companies.D. It is aimed at promoting workers' social interaction.10.What does the underlined word"surged"in paragraph 2 probably mean?______A. Suspended timely.B. Became useless.C. Cost less.D. Increased quickly.11.What makes an open office hard to work in?______A. Hearing endless noisy phone calls.B. Showing real emotions publicly.C. Facing communication barriers at work.D. Hearing part of a dialogue between colleagues.12.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?______A. What are benefits of the open offices with walls.B. Why the open office makes workers distracted.C. How to deal with the disadvantages of the open office.D. How to draw workers' attention to their colleagues nearby.DDo you know the websites that let you name a star after your beloved one,your kid or your dog for a small fee?Yeah,those are all fake— you could pay me to "name" a star for ﹩50,and I'll take your money and show the name online.I'll even send you a fancy certificate!It seems that you've named a star,but it just doesn't count.Actually,the only organization that owns official naming rights is the International Astronomical Union,or the IAU.It was founded in 1919 and based in Paris,France.It is where astronomers and other professionals have reached the agreements and is the official record-keeping body for all discoveries in space.Recently they do open up an opportunity for the public to name a dozen of planets outside the solar system.These planets will be among the first to be studied with the James Webb Space Telescope.However,they currently only have boring and complicated documents that were used to find them.That's why the IAU is looking for something more interesting. But before you start naming the planets,you should know the rules.First,nothing is rude or annoying.Second,the name should be less than 16 characters long and pronounceable in at least one language with no commercial or business names and nothing is named after a living individual or a pet.The competition,named "Stars Worlds",is open next Thursday,January 20th.It's the third such contest the IAU has held,and the purpose is to get the public more interested in science as well as the organization.The competition also helps to break centuries of European dominance when it comes to naming things in the night sky.So people around the world can share the joy of discovery and make their mark in history.13.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?______A. By listing figures.B. By taking an example.C. By offering a solution.D. By showing differences.14.What can we know about the IAU from the passage?______A. It was founded by France.B. It studies the space telescope.C. It organizes trips to the space.D. It has the right to name the stars.15.What is the last paragraph mainly about?______A. Why the competition is held.B. How the competition develops.C. What to expect in the competition.D. How to take part in the competition.16.Where is this passage most likely taken from?______A. A novel.B. A textbook.C. A diary.D. A magazine.二、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共10分。

Quietly, the graying(老龄化)of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage of health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say,“I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.”No one says “Act your age”any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.41. It can be learned from the text that aging of the population in America .A. has made people feel younger.B. has changed people’s social positionC. has changed people’s understanding of ageD. has slowed down the country’s social development42. The underlined word “one”refers to .A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD. population43. “Act your age”means people should .A. be active when they are oldB. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect to their parents young or oldD. take more physical exercises suitable to their age44. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it .A. normalB. wonderfulC. unbelievableD. unreasonableBParents should s top blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful,reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,”she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across theB. lifeB. changeable B. stillB. soB. getting to touch B. keepB. incidentsB. mistakesB. costB. becauseB. OrB. such likeB. marked with B. necessaryB. markB. AlwaysB. althoughB. WatchB. check upB. immediatelyC. our livesC. favorableC. everC. becauseC. losing touch withC. leavingC. eventsC. wrongsC. takeC. sinceC. ButC. for exampleC. filled withC. practicalC. gradeC. AlmostC. sinceC. DiscourageC. findC. afterD. us lifeD. usableD. yetD. except thatD. keeping in touch withD. leaveD. thingsD. disadvantagesD. payD. whenD. HoweverD. so asD. covered withD. possibleD. timeD. UsuallyD. becauseD. RefuseD. realizeD. soon21. A. the lives22. A. valuable23. A. even24. A. but25. A. losing touch with26. A. keeping27. A. accidents28. A. advantages29. A. spend30. A. for31. A. Otherwise32. A. such as33. A. struck with34. A. important35. A. money36. A. Sometimes37. A. if38. A. Encourage39. A. examine40. A. latertabel, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.45. This text is most probably written by .A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems46. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to .A. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a childB. the way that parents ofter blame themselvesC. the opinion that a child has of his parentsD. the advice that parents want their children to follow47. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as .A. lazyB. quietC. unusualD. rude48. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters .A. pay not attention to themB. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate themD. feel helpless to do much about themCIt’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’ve about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life.Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not ever middle-aged.As you go into the kitche n and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitch en, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies.“Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter.” In 2005 only speci ally trained astronauts went into space — and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.It’s time for you to got to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it.49. What changes the colour of your shirt?A. The mirrorB. The shirt itselfC. The counterD. The medicine.50. How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal?A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl.B. By listening to the doctor’s advice.C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.D. By checking the nutrition details of the food.51. The strawberries the children eat serve as .A. breakfastB. lunchC. vaccinesD. nutrition52. How is the text organized?A. In order of timeB. In order of frequency.C. In order of preference.D. In order of importanceDI was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994., but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be careful when you are around him.”AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look ater him.We couldn’t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and ofter couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the tea cher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.I did not share my burden(负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be crues. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his cindition a secret. I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.53. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.D. He told no one about his disease.54. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?A. Kerrel couldn’t understand her teacher.B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearingC. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.D. Kerrel was too tired to bear her teacher’s words.55. Why did Kerrel keep her father’s disease a secret?A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.B. She thought it was shamefu to have AIDS.C. She found no one willing to listen to her.D. She wanted to obey her mother.56. Why did Kerrel write the passage?A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS.D. To remember her fatherl.ERecently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman.I once read a saying: “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t, you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may consider this an exaggeration(夸张), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and not to say that it was quite right; you needn’t worry about being refused time after time; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over and over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike…I did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up. Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse.Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my clas smates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost.Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have some strong negative influences on study.Most students don’t view the relationship between study an d work correctly. In my opinion, if it isn’t a must for financial(财政的) reasons, students should be cautious (careful) about taking up a part-time job.57. From the text, we can tell that the writer is .A. an unemployed manB. a middle-school studentC. a college studentD. a door-to-door salesman58. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”?A. losingB. wastingC. usingD. getting59. In the writer’s opi nion, .A. to do a part-time job was unnecesaaryB. part-time jobs had good effect upon study.C. it was hard to deal with the relationship between study and work correctly.D. part-time jobs would be good for every college student60. What would be the best title for the text?A. Part-time Jobs Are UsefulB. Part-time Jobs Can Coat DearC. Students shouldn’t Take Part-time JobsD. Part-time Jobs are Important to Many StudentsⅤ补全对话(5分)—61— I have been to Hong Kong. I spend my holiday there.—62— Oh, I like Hong Kong very much.—How did you like the food there?—Well, it was different from English food, of course, but like the dishes there.—63—People don’t like the weather in Hong Kong in summer.

According to the report, 2021 was probably one of the 10 warmest years since 1850.The report shows temperatures in different areas of the world. The report says most of the world’s land areas had temperatures higher than normal for nine months in 2021, from January to September. Australia had a very strong heat wave. Record high temperatures were also reported in parts of North America and north Africa. The report says record-breaking rainfall and snow fell in many parts of North America. Many scientists are worried about carbon dioxide, which stays in the atmosphere for centuries. However, the report calls for reducing pollutants that do not last as long. It says methane, for example, disappears after about 12 years. Black carbon from open-fire cook stoves stays in the air for just days or weeks. These pollutants speed up warming.I’ve decided to do what I can to help prevent global warming. For example, I’ve decided to stop asking my father to drive me to school from tomorrow on. Instead, I’ll take the bus or ride a bike. I hope we can all do our best to help prevent global warming.创作人:历恰面日期:2020年1月1日创作人:历恰面日期:2020年1月1日。

AFrom a multi-day hike following the routes of a Japanese poet,to a classic climb in the Argentinian Lake District,there are thousands of incredible trails(小路)that allow us to get up close to nature.Appalachian Trail,UnitedExtending for2,200miles,the Appalachian Trail is listed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world.It runs from Springier Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine,passing through some of the most remote country in the United States.That means it’s a hard task,either for those with endless vacation allowance,or walkers looking to do a small piece of a classic route.The Basho Wayfarer,JapanThis self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over300years ago.The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Tohoku region,passing through the UNESCO World Heritage(遗产)Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path.With its beech and cherry forests,it finishes at the temple of Yamadera.Mount Toubkal,MoroccoThe path upwards rises from the village of Imlil,passing over a dry river bed before rising sharply through a temple and on towards a large mountain cottage.After overnight here,hikers set off up the snowfield to the peak,where the Atlas Mountains open out and the views are breathtaking.A local guide and muleteers for carrying luggage are a must.The Dingle Way,IrelandIt is a ring-like path that offers the best way to get under the skin of wild County Kerry in Ireland’s south west. Starting in the town of Tralee,the clockwise path follows narrow roads,taking in the wide sweep of sand at Inch Strand,passing along the clifftops outside Dingle town and heading around the edge of Mount Brardon,the highest peak on the Dingle Peninsula.1.What do we know about the Basho Wayfarer?A.It offers no guide service.B.It was built by a poet.C.It ends in the northern Tohoku region.D.It is on the world heritage list.2.Where can hikers enjoy a good view of snow?A.Appalachian Trail.B.The Basho Wayfarer.C.Mount Toubkal.D.The Dingle Way.3.What is special about the Dingle Way?A.It follows a

pan.She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter(面糊)to ensure they would look identical.A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top.The cupcakes were for a2-year-old’s“Moana”-themed birthday party.The next day,she had orders for a two-tiered cake and two birthday cakes.While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working,Ke’Nyzjah is filling orders,updating her website and getting new branding photos.She owns and operates KayKe Bakery,ahome-based business,specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes.She offers14flavors.She requires at least two to four weeks’notice on orders,and she gets six to seven a week.In2020,she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake.She asked her mom for a solution.Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard.Ke’Nyzjah’s first attempt failed.But she tried making more cakes the next day.She got better.She watched hours of YouTube videos to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques.“Once I got on Instagram and started seeing other people’s decorated cakes,that’s when I got inspired to be a cake artistinstead of just a baker,”she said.She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school.She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist.It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale.She’s constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients.“It’s a little difficult having to keep up with both my Instagram and my Facebook pages and managing school,personal life and a business.It can be a lot sometimes,but I manage.”Nakesia Fercbec,Ke’Nyzjah’s mother,felt her daughter’s father has been influential.Ke’Nyzjah gives her mother a large of the credit.“She’s like my biggest supporter.She’s made me who I am.I’ve come to realize that I am an incredible person.”4.What was Ke’Nyzjah doing according to the first

artist.D.How to start a business.CI am thinking today about my new favorite thing.It’s an app that my husband told me a few years ago that helps me bypass all the obstacles(障碍)in my way:potholes,heavy traffic,and even speed cameras.To be honest,when my husband first told me about it,I didn’t pay much attention.I was only going to places I already knew how to get to.Plus,I learned to drive from my father—who never turned to a map.I think I mistakenly absorbed the message that real drivers didn’t need a map;you somehow just magically knew where to go.It was only later that I realized that just getting a driver’s license didn’t mean you knew how to get to places—that was lesson one.Lesson two came when my kids started playing on two different travel teams.The drivers in our household suddenly had the need to head in different directions on the same day.Suddenly my app became very meaningful to me.How did I ever manage to get to strange playing fieldshidden somewhere without it?But the crazy thing I have also noticed is how often I just don’t listen to it.Why might that be?Do I just prefer the old routes,even if they are actually worse?I see an analogy(类比)to the present moment.There is evidence that some old ideas and some long familiar ideas will send us into a boring unchanging lifestyle.But for some reason we like them better than an unfamiliar new route that might take us into areas we’ve never heard of,let alone visited.It can be hard to admit we don’t know everything.As a person who still drives an8-year-old stick shift and who has never stood in line for anything new,I certainly understand that.But I also try to remember the times I let go of my ego(自负),or my fear,and learned that life could be better.Not perfect—but better.I am glad I finally listened to my husband about that app.He was right.8.What did the author think of the app at the very beginning?A.It was magical.B.It was practically valueless.C.It was powerful.D.It was not as good as a map.9.What would probably make the author ignore the app’s instructions?A.Her desire to explore alone.B.Her doubt about the new device.C.Her preference for the new routes.D.Her refusal to experience changes.10.What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A.She is willing to challenge herself.B.She cares little about others’comments.C.She recognizes her problems easily.D.She is too inflexible to make any change.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Real Drivers Know Their Way B.It Pays to Take a New RouteC.New Apps Make Life Perfect D.It Matters to Listen to Inner Voice第二节:(共5小题,每小题2.5分,共12.5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。

ATechnology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it’s best to get your wallet ready for them.5G networks will bring the Internet everywhereThe most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service meaning that instead of,having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you’ll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance(依赖)on wi-fi.Smart needles will detect cancer in momentsRight now, most cancers aren’t detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations.People will be able to feel things in virtual realityVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, but things will only get more interesting from here, starting with the ability to touch and feel the things we see through all the various kinds of computer-generated pictures.Plant-based meat is going to grow in new ways2019 was the year of plant-based meats, with Beyond Meat introducing burgers that tasted just about the same as actual beef, but made entirely out of plants.

Skyline Dear Skyline,As we grow up, our interests change a lot. As a teenager, it may just be that your mom and you don’t share the same interests right now. It’s normal for the relationship between teenagers and their parents to become distant for a short while.If you don’t think your mom understands you or your interests, why not try to get involved in some of hers? If she has a hobby, try to join in with it. For example, if she’s a good cook, ask her to teach you some recipes. If she likes running, go for a run with her.Likewise(同样地), try to get her involved in the things that you do often. Invite her to go to the movies or to coffee together, or ask her to help you study some time.Another great way to get to know your mom better is to ask her about her childhood. My mother has lots of great tales about being a teenager in the 1960s, and hearing her share them and laughing at her funny memories always brings us closer together. Ask your mom about her life as a teenager too I bet she’d love to share her stories There could be many reasons that your mom might seem too busy to do things with you. She could just be tiredfrom a long day of work, or she may have a problem of her own that’s affecting how she acts toward others.Whatever happens, don’t worry. She loves you and always will. And hopefully one day soon, you will both understand each other perfectly.4. What is Skyline’s problem?A. She doesn’t live close to her mom.B. She doesn’t share things with her mom.C. Her mom is too busy to spend time with her.D. Her mom doesn’t understand her.5. What does Dale think of Skyline’s problem?A. Typical.B. Unusual.C. Strange.D. Tough.6. Why does Dale advise Skyline to ask her mom about her childhood?A. To encourage her mom to talk to her.B. To give her mom time to think of the past.C. To help her know more about her mom.D. To get her a chance to laugh at her mom.7. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 of Dale’s letter to Skyline?A. Skyline’s mom has a problem of her own.B. Skyline’s mom probably isn’t a good mother..C Skyline is badly treated by her mom at home.D. Skyline probably doesn’t understand her mom.CFor decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria(疟疾)medicine, finally won the country that honor.In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations(变异)in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl(e 潜水器). He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.8. Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A. To show one of China’s long-held dreams.B. To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.C. To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions.D. To introduce more top Chinese scientists.9. Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat?A. Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops..B Because she was expert at wheat engineering.C. Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.D. Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.10. What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China?A. He teaches about sea at a university.B. He developed Jiaolong submersible.C. He is devoted to genetic engineering.D. He reached the bottom of the ocean.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. China’s Science StarsB. China’s Nobel Prize DreamC. Gao Caixia-China’s Crop EngineerD. Cui Weicheng-China’s Deep DiverDPeople do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica(虚构的)Greek sculptor.Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.12. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from?A. A statue of a lady.B. The goddess of love.C. A character in a literary work.D. The story made up by Pygmalion.13. The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably meansA. worship ofB. affection forC. marriage toD. sympathy for14. What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research?A. To improve the kids’ IQ.B. To pick out gifted students.C. To expand teachers’ influence.D. To examine the Pygmalion effect.15. What can students do to make a teacher excellent?A. Support the teacher by treating them as excellent.B. Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher.C. Work hard to get prepared for opportunities.D. Show great interest in lectures on acting.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The air hostess spoke to her, but the old lady said, “I have never been in a plane before , and I am frightened. I am going to keep this blanket over my head until we are back on the ground again !”Then the captain came. He said, “Madam, I am the captain of this plane. The weather is fine, there are no clouds in the sky, and everything is going very well. ”But she continued to hide.So the captain turned and started to go back. Then the old lady looked out from under the blanket with one eye and said, “I am sorry, young man, but I don’t like planes and I am never going to fly again. But I’ll say one thing, ”She continued kindly, “You and your wife keep your plane very clean!”1. An old lady had ___________.A. a blanket over her head B glasses C. a coat D. a basket2.

The woman didn’t like planes and she was never going ___________.A. to travelB. to fly againC. to go abroadD. to go homeBIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around,and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them.Agreement was reached,and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now,the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.4. From Paragraph 1,we learn that the villagers________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. lived a different life from their forefathersD. were poor but somewhat content5. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. They needed money to buy medicine.B. The frogs were easy money.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.6. What might be the cause of the children's sickness?A. The crops didn't do well.B. The pesticides were overused.C. The visitors brought in diseases.D. There were too many insects.7. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.B. Health is more important than money.C. Good old days will never be forgotten.D. The harmony between man and nature is important.C King's College Summer SchoolKing's College Summer School is an annual( 每年的) training program for highschool students at all levels who want to improve their English.

So far, more than 1,800 murals(壁画)have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti(涂鸦)are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program be gan as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. "When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community(社区).When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals."The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary,pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.12.What can be the best title for the text?A.
