2017-2018学年第十九天美文晨读Without words you could make no decisions and form no judgments. Whatsoever. a pianist may have the most beautiful tunes in his head, but if he had only five keys on his piano he would never get more than a fraction of these tunes out. Your words are your keys for your thoughts, and the more words you have which you command, that deeper, clearer and more accurate will be your thinking.不借助词语的话，你就连这样一个简单的决定也作不了。

没有了词汇你什么决定也作不了，什么判断也作不成。

一位钢琴家的脑子里可能想到了一首非常美妙的曲子，但是如果他的钢琴上只有五个音键的话，他永远也只能演奏出这首曲子的一些破碎的片段。

They buy a large number of newspapers and magazines and even of books-especially paperbacks(平装书), which are still rather cheap in spite of the ever-increasing rises in the cost of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books too, printed on good paper and fastened between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize(专营) in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heartof London. Here the bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the famous one which calls itself “the biggest book-shop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will get any kind of books, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the many subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes in books about ballet！1. Compared with “paperbacks”, as is suggested in this passage, “proper” booksare ____.A. more valuableB. more costlyC. more enjoyable to readD. more difficult to read2. This passage has mentioned all of the following except _____.A. the Londoners as book loversB. the various subjects of booksC. the size of the booksD. the size of the bookshops3. “The biggest book shop in the world” is perhaps _____.A. words from the shop owner’s advertisementB. a lie by the shop owner to cheat the readersC. a praise of the shop from the writer of the passageD. a praise of the shop from readers in London4. When the writer mentions “the tiny, dusty little places”, he refers to ____.A. very useful bookshopB. very dirty bookshopsC. very convenient bookshopsD. very old bookshops5. By saying “Dickens’ time”, the writer referred to _____.A. a period of time when Dickens was still livingB. a period of time when people liked to read Dickens’ novelsC. a period of time when Dickens’ novels were soldD. a period of time when Dickens was famousI hear many parents say that their teen-age(十几岁的) children are rebellious(反叛的). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing from your parents. Youshould be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a god look at the present rebellion. It seems that teen-agers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at one anther hands for safety.They say they want to dress as the please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd in doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧) into a large cocoon.It is becoming harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the poularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teen-age market. These days every teen-age can learn from newspapers and TV what a teen-ager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award(奖励) high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.6. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell ____.A. readers how to be popular in the worldB. teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other7. According to the writer, many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act ontheir own, but, in fact, most of them _____.A. have much difficulty in understanding each otherB. are not sure of themselvesC. dare not do thingsD. are very much afraid of getting lost8. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is actually keeping their children from findingtheir own paths.C. It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teen-agers say they want to do what they like to, but in fact they aredoing the same.9. During the teen-ager years, one should learn to _____.A. become different from others in as many ways as possibleB. get into the right season and become popularC. find one’s real selfD. rebel against parents10. From the passage we can get a conclusion ____.A. the writer is for the teenagers to be themselvesB. the writer is against the teenagers to be themselvesC. the writer does not care whether the teenagers should be themselves or notD. the writer wishes the parents to be themselves第二十天美文晨读A command of English will not only improve the processes of your mind. It will give you assurance; build your self-confidence; lend color to your personality; increase your popularity. Your words are your personality. Your vocabulary is you. Your words are all that we, your friends, have to know and judge you by. You have no other medium for telling us your thoughts-for convincing us, persuading us, giving us orders.掌握英语不仅可以改进你的思维方式，它还给你信心，令你自信，带给你鲜明的个性，使你更受欢迎。

At the age of 9, Abbi went to the Tracy Animal Shelter，in her hometown of Tracy，California，to adopt Sheldon，her favorite cat. There，she saw the poor conditions that the animals were kept in. Abbi knew that it was her duty to take action.Pins for Pets is Abbi’s solution. For the last three years, she has organized a bowling tournament to raise funds for the Tracy Animal Shelter. She has raised more than $30,000, resulting in a better home for the animals. “Now the shelter is nicer and cleaner and animals have more space. It is far better, a hundred percent better,” Abbi says.To praise Abbi for her outstanding efforts, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) named her the 2015 ASPCA Tommy P.

This park in the southeastern part of the state covers morethan 1 million hectares of Alaskan wilderness. It includes mountains, glaciers (冰川), bays, and even rainforests. Glacier Bay supports hundreds of kinds of animals, including many species of birds, fish, bears, whales and sea lions.As its name suggests, much of Glacier Bay National Park is covered by glaciers. A glacier is a large area of ice that moves slowly down a slope (斜坡) or valley, or over a wide area of land. Glaciers cover more than 5,000 square kilometers of the park.Glacial ice has shaped the land over the last seven million years. The glaciers found in the park today are what remains from an ice advance known as the Little Ice Age. That period began about 4,000 years ago.During the Little Ice Age, the cold weather caused the ice to grow and advance. That situation continued until about 1,700s, when the climate began to warm. The higher temperatures caused the ice to start melting. That melting led the huge glacier to separate into more than 1,000 different glaciers.The extremely tall and jagged (参差不齐的) mountains seen in Glacier Bay National Park were formed by the ice advancing and then melting over time. The melting of the ice also created water that filled in and created the many fjords (峡湾) within the park. Fjords are narrow parts of the ocean that sit between cliffs or mountains.The huge amount of water from the melted ice killed off many kinds of plants. Vegetation returned to the area over the next 200 years. The regrowth in plants also brought back many animals to the land. This return of life to Glacier Bay is why it is sometimes called “a land reborn” by people.9. What is mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. The function of Glacier Bay.B. The climate of Glacier Bay.C. The area of Alaskan wilderness.D. The number of animals in Glacier Bay.10. What happened to Glacier Bay during the Little Ice Age?A. Many slopes or valleys came into being.B. The glaciers grew and advanced.C. Different glaciers became a whole one.D. The fjords became narrow.11. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?A. How the water killed off the plants.B. When vegetation returned to Glacier Bay.C. What the relationship between plants and animals is.D. Why Glacier Bay is sometimes called “a land reborn”.4.Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world.When it comes to cancer, the sooner you know you have it, the better your chances of surviving are.A new blood test could change the way doctors and researchers find cancer in patients. Researchers say the test could provide some hints of the early forms of the disease.Gareth Jenkins is a professor at the University of Swansea. He says he and his team did not look for cancer. They instead looked for a by-product of cancer, mutated (突变的) red blood cells. They looked for, what Jenkins calls, the collateral (附带的) damage of cancer—the damage left by the disease.“In this blood test we don’t measure the presence of cancer，we measure the presence of mutated red blood cells which are the collateral damage that occurs—a by-product of the cancer developing.’’The researchers used normal laboratory equipment to perform the tests. This equipment looks for changes in the structure of millions of red blood cells. Those mutated cells lack a surface protein (蛋白质) that healthy cellsnormally have.“The goal of the test is looking for very rare cells which have picked up a mutation. The number of mutated red blood cells in a healthy person is around 5 or so mutated cells per million; so, you have to look at millions of red blood cells to discover those rare events. The number increases in cancer patients—it goes up to 40 or 50 on average.”The researchers tested blood from about 300 people, all of whom have cancer of the esophagus (食管). Patients with esophageal cancer have high levels of mutated red blood cells. Jenkins says that at this point he is not sure if other cancers would produce similar results.The hope is that the new test could one day become part of commonly used medical methods to find out if a person has cancer. These new technologies could save millions of lives.12. What does the underlined word “hints” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. Deaths.B. Experiences.C. Signs.D. Kinds.13. Healthy people and patients with esophageal cancer are different in of mutated red blood cells.A. the sizeB. the colorC. the shapeD. the number14. What’s the author’s attitude to the new test?A. Negative.B. Indifferent.C. Positive.D. Doubtful.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Cancer Can Be PreventedB. New Test Could Find Cancer EarlierC. Scientists Have Discovered How Cancer SpreadsD. New Cancer Treatment Is Showing Extraordinary Results二、未分类(共2题)1.How to Form a HabitThere are so many things we do in our daily lives that have become a “habit”. 16 How you answer the phone is a habit. The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after you’ve done it in a certain way for so long? It’s easy to do as long as you think about it. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things. 17 It’s a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a boring task.Let’s pick something fairly easy to start with, like sp ending 15 minutes in the morning reading the Bible. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it. 18 Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.Impress it on your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, “Hey, I forgot to...”. Keep using the notes if you have to. 19 Some people say it will take over a month to solidify (变得稳固) it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine. 20A. What is a “habit” anyway?B. Forming a bad habit is easy.C. Brushing your teeth is a habit.D. Is doing things in an old way good?E. If you don’t, you will find a way to do everything but that.F. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.G. That’s something you won’t necessarily have to think about before you do it—habit.2.While I was in Ojai this past weekend, I came across a man 41 (sit) ata bench by himself. I smiled and said hello to him. As I passed, he yelled to me 42 (come) back. The man said that I was the only one of the 43 (passer-by) who had treated him in such a kind way. He said he was a reverend (牧市) and asked 44 I was from; I said England. At that point, most people would say something like, near London. 45 , his response was Birmingham. As 46 matter of fact, Birmingham is the largest city near my rural hometown. We carried on a 47 (friend) conversation and in the conversation, I 48 (inform) that he needed some money to go back home. Not knowing how much money I had, I told him I’d give him whatever was in my purse. He said he prayed that I’d have $47. Then I opened the wallet in my purse and counted out the money. That was 49 (exact) $47. I offered the man all of my money. I felt really good for giving help tosomeone, 50 was in trouble.Today I share this story with you, because I want to spread as much kindness in the world as I can.三、完型填空(共1题)st week I talked with Mandy, a mother of a young teenager in my class. She was telling me how 21 it was for her son at school, because he is in a school uniform that doesn’t 22 him as he’s outgrown it. Since her husband and she both lost their 23 in the last couple of years, they have been searching and interviewing persistently (坚持不懈地). 24 , unfortunately they are still out of work.Now I know the fact that they just can’t 25 a new one. She wiped away 26 as she told me sadly that she is 27 trying to buy a new shirt, then trousers, then… then shoes.I know her well enough to know that she doesn’t 28 want to get my sympathy or help. She’s 29 asked for anything from me, either. She was just telling me the honest 30 . I felt moved to go to the 31 to draw money out from my own account through ATM and come back with a bit of savings of my own 32 I believe I can spare. I told her to just go and buy the 33 , and not to tell anyone that I did this but her husband.I also made it clear to her that nothing is 34 —no payback, nothing. It’s a gift done, so I can enjoy 35 , and that is all I need right now. I told herthat she was also doing me a favor, 36 she let me know everything. She was so 37 for what I had done for her that she was moved to tears, but I really just feel happy that her boy won’t continue to be 38 for his ugly uniform. I know what that is like, and as a victim of school bullying (恃强欺弱) when young, I can say 39 it hurts for a long time. I felt so 40 to be able to do this!21. A. sick B. hungry C. cold D. bad22.

On Friday, the China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Ele. me, the Alibaba Group Holding-owned food delivery platform, to launch a "half-dish plan," encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller portions.Tang Zhisong, a professor at Southwest University Education School, said "Evaluating how much you can eat, how much you should buy and how to deal with the leftover is a way for young people to improve theirself-management.

This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can ofcoke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat.

What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. A review.C. A news report.D. A practical guide.DByteDance（字节跳动）Group’s TikTok, an overseas version of Chinese short video sharing app Douyin, faces an existential crisis in the United States, as murmurs of a “crackdown”（强制取缔）from the White House forced the Chinese company toengage in talks on selling its US business to Microsoft.TikTok is the fastest-growing registered global mobile internet app, with more than 100 million users, and its rapid growth, especially in the US, is seen as a threat to Facebook. The US government has long viewed globally competitive Chinese high-tech companies including Huawei as a threat and done whatever it could to crack down on（打击）them in the name of “national security”.The US government has not introduced any specific policy against TikTok only threatened it through a number of unclear statements.According to the latest media reports, Microsoft is prepared to press ahead withthe negotiations to take over TikTok’s US operations and complete the negotiations by Sept 15, following talks between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and US President Donald Trump.This means that TikTok will have to hand its fate over to some unpredictable power, and even have to sell its assets without the option of setting a price.The US government has failed to find a reasonable legal excuse to deal with TikTok. All private data of TikTok’s US users are stored in the US and are unlikely to be transferred. Considering the US government is trying to deal with TikTok in a political way, TikTok should consider incorporating（合并）the dispute into the US legal process to assert（坚持）its legal rights and interests.TiKTok’s core value lies in its unique algorithms,a product of artificial intelligence that represents the expertise of Chinese engineers and programmers with high-value intellectual property.The US government’s move, which has forced ByteDance to sell TikTok to a US company, is similar to a forced technology transfer and an example of the US’ openseizureof Chinese intellectual property.If ByteDance sells TikTok to a US company for “security reasons", that would set a dangerous precedent, motivating other countries where TikTok operates to follow the US administration's example and cause a chain reaction.ByteDance is a young Chinese private company that cannot deal with a political game played by the US. But as a Chinese company that has gone global, ByteDance has reasons to take up legal means to defend its legal rights. The Chinese government can also consider examining whether the technology transfer in the deal violates China’s law and harms the country’s national interests.12. What is the most valuable as for TikTok?A. Its global popularity.B. Its artificial intelligence.C. Its registered global mobile internet app.D. Its private data of TikTok’s worldwide users.13. Why does the American government force the Chinese company to hand over TikTok’s US operations to a US company?A. Out of so-called political reasons.B. Out of so-called debt reasons.C. Out of so-called technical reasons.D. Out of so-called security reasons.14. What does the underlined word “seizure”probably mean in Para. 8?A. An untrue spoken statement about someone.B. The use of legal authority to take sth from sb.C. The crime of stealing sth from a person or place.D. The act of trying to hurt somebody using physical violence.15. What can be the best title for the news report?A. TikTok must defend its rights legallyB. TikTok is seen as a threat to FacebookC. ByteDance has to sell TikTok to a US companyD. ByteDance agrees to transfer technology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。

three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．AI went into Harrods in London （a huge department store I am sure you have heard of）to buy some Minton china plates for a wedding anniversary which was to be a group gift from friends to other friends in Geneva．Having only 30 minutes between meetings，I whizzed there in a taxi from the office and battled through the milling people on the 2nd day of the sales on the ground floor up to the 5th to the china department．There was a man standing there who was obviously a sales person who I rushed up to and asked if he had this particular china in stock and if it would take long to wrap，etc．．He was amazing．He got the plates in seconds，wrapped them up and asked me if I wanted a store card，to which I replied no，because I lived in Switzerland，to which he replied asking if，as I lived abroad，would like a tax rebate form （退税表）．After that he showed me what to do，produced a map of the store and told me where I should go for the formalities （程序）．That was fabulous！I thanked him and said what wonderful service he had given me．I even asked if he gave this to everyone，to which he answered：“I’m just doing what is required at Harrods”．With that，a tall man in a grey suit approached me and offered his hand to shake mine saying，“Can I introduce myself？I am the Chief Executive of Harrods and what an interesting conversation I have just heard．．．” He had been wandering through the store （as youshould do as a hands­on CEO）and had overheard me thanking this salesman，whose face，I can hardly describe，was frozen in a mixture of delight awe and astonishment！Can you imagine the salesman going home to his family and friends recounting what the CEO spoke to him after overhearing him being praised by a customer？56．The writer went to Harrods to ．A．kill time B．buy some giftsC．go sightseeing D．shop for her wedding57．What does the underlined word “whiz” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？A．Drive．B．Arrive．C．Rush．D．Leave．58．Which of the following sentences can best

service”．59．As soon as she bought what she wanted，the writer ．A．went to a meeting B．flew back to GenevaC．visited one of her friends D．attended a wedding ceremony60．The writer wrote the above passage

traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to withstand （经受住）almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book．They’re known as the black box．When planes fall from the sky，as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30，，the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong．So when a French submarine （潜水艇）detected the device’s homing signal five days later，the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed．In 1958，Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight­memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction．That was the first mode for a black box，which became a requirement on all U．S．commercial flights by 1960．Early models often failed to withstand crashes，however，so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear （后部）of the plane—the area least subject to impact—from its original position in the landing wells （起落架舱）．The same year，the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，which were never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility．Modern airplanes have two black boxes： a voice recorder，which tracks pilots’conversations，and a flight­data recorder，which monitors fuel levels，engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments．Placed in an insulated （隔绝的）case and surrounded by a quarter­inch­thick panels of stainless steel，theboxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉．When submerged （淹没），they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，which crashed near Brazil on June 1,，are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up．In the approximately 20 deep­sea crashes over the past 30 years，only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered．61．Which of the following is the magic feature about a black box，according to the text？A．It can record clearly．B．It can be seen clearly．C．It can survive a serious disaster．D．It can tell altitude and direction．62．Which of the following statements about the air disaster happening to Yemeni airliner is TRUE？A．Its black box hasn’t been found yet．B．Its black box was found under the sea．C．Its black box saved all the passengers’ lives．D．Its black box was found immediately after the crash．63．When the first mode of black box appeared，．A．it wasn’t black B．it was painted yellowC．it was at the rear of the plane D．it wasn’t able to track direction 64．According to the passage，modern black boxes ．A．are placed in insulated plastic boxesB．have seldom been found in deep­sea crashesC．are painted bright colors and can emit signalsD．will melt only when the temperature rises to 1,000℉65．Several changes to the black box are mentioned in the passage except the change in its ．A．position B．number C．strength D．sizeCThe U．S．Food and Drug Administration （FDA）is considering to put stricter limits over tanning salons （晒黑廊）and wants to ban anyone younger than 18 years of age from using a tanning bed，an advisory panel （专家团）announced last week．The panel is calling for tighter controls on the industry such as requiring teenagers to get the approval from their parents before using tanning beds or limiting the use of artificial tanning to a certain age．“Given the absence of any demonstrated benefit，I think it is an obligation for us to ban artificial tanning for those under 18，” said panelist Dr．Michael Olding．Along with a possible ban for teenagers，the panel also recommended that visible warning labels should be placed either on the tanning machines or in the salons in order to caution tanners of the possible dangers．In addition，the committee decided that stricter regulations and classifications were critical to make the machines safer．At this time the machines are categorized as FDA Class 1 devices，the ones that are least likely to cause harm．In case the FDA decided to change their classification from Class 1 to Class 2，as advised by the panel，the FDA could limit the levels of radiation the machines emit．Class 2 devices include X­ray machines and powered wheelchairs．Getting a tan，whether from a tanning bed or the sun，increases the risk of developing skin cancer．Last year，the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer （IARC）declared tanning beds as “carcinogenic （致癌的）to humans”．It wasdiscovered that young individuals in their teens and 20s who use tanning beds on a regular basis have a 75 per cent higher risk of suffering from melanoma （黑素瘤），the deadliest form of skin cancer．According to the American Cancer Society，melanoma accounted for nearly 69,000 cases of skin cancer in and will account for most （about 8,650）of the 11,590 mortality cases due to skin cancer each year．66．According to the passage，what measures will U．S．FDA most probably take？A．Banning tanning salons．B．Posing heavier tax over tanning salons．C．Having tighter controls over tanning salons．D．Limiting the number of tanning salons in every state．67．Which of the following suggestions for making tanning salons safer is NOT mentioned？A．Visible Caution．B．Setting age limit．C．Professional personnel．D．Parental approval for teenagers．68．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．X­ray machines are less likely to cause harm than tanning machines．B．X­ray machines are more likely to cause harm than tanning machines．C．Powered wheelchairs are as likely to cause harm as tanning machines．D．Powered wheelchairs are less likely to cause harm than tanning machines．69．What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph？A．Tanning in one’s youth may mean death．B．Tanning in the sun is safer than on the tanning bed．C．People should get tanned without getting melanoma．D．Getting tanned is only a good idea for those above thirty years old．70．What will most probably happen，if the advisory panel’s suggestions are adopted and put into practice？A．Fewer people will suffer from skin cancer．B．Tanning salons will have more customers．C．Getting a tan in a tanning salon will cost less．D．Parents will be more anxious about their tanning children．PART FOUR WRITING（45 marks）SECTION A（10 marks）Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．According to the surprising findings of a new study by U．S．investigators，chewing sugarless gum during class and while doing homework can have a positive effect on academic performance in teenagers．Study leader Craig A．Johnston of the Children’s Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston，Texas，and his colleagues studied more than 100 eighth­grade students，52 girls and 56 boys，aged between 13 and 16 years，in four math classes．The experts randomly assigned teenagers into two groups：one group was asked to chew Wrigley’s sugar­free gum during class，while doing homework，and also while performing a standardized test．They chewed at least one stick of gum 86 per cent of the time they were in math class and 36 per cent of the time they were doing homework．The participants of the other group did not．Johnston and his team found that 14 weeks later，the gum chewers had a 3 percent increasein their math scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills achievement test，a small but statistically significant change，according to experts．There was no difference found in math scores between the participants in the two groups in another test called the Woodcock Johnston III Tests of Achievement．However，the experiment revealed that gum­chewers had better final grades in the class compared to their non­chewing peers．According to Johnston，chewing gum reduces stress and anxiety as well as it increases arousal （兴奋）．Researchers say that the studies and research are focused on investigating the effect of chewing gum on focus，alertness，concentration，situational stress，weight control and oral health．According to them，the study is really meaningful and should raise interest in parents “when related to small steps that can lead to better academic performance．”The new study is being built on previous research that was conducted in a laboratory setting and showed that gum chewing can help reduce stress，improve alertness and relieve anxiety．The current findings，for the first time，provide a possible role for chewing gum in helping to improve academic performance in a “real life” classroom setting．A surprising finding—chewing gum results in 71．Ⅰ．Purpose of the study：To investigate the effect of chewing gum on focus，alertness，concentration，situational stress，weight control and 72．．Ⅱ．The research：◆Researchers：Craig A．Johnston and 73．◆Participants：74．eighth­grade students aged between 13 and 16

two groups ● Gum­chewers having better final gradesⅢ．Researchers’ Analysis：◆Chewing gum reduces 80．．◆Chewing gum increases arousal．SECTION B （10 marks）Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony．Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together．The manusually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring．That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry．The diamond represented beauty．He placed it on the third finger of her left hand．He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel （血管）in that finger went directly to the heart．Today，we know that this is not true．Yet the tradition continues．Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party．During the time，friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as a wife．These could include cooking equipment or new clothing．Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him．This usually takes place the night before the wedding．Only men are invited to the bachelor party．During the marriage ceremony，the bride and her would­be husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever．The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger．The husband wears his ring on the third finger of his left hand．Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding．But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other．Either person may decide to break the engagement．If this happens，the woman usually returns the ring to the man；they also return any wedding gifts they have received．81．According to the passage，on which finger does a woman wear her engagement ring today？（No more than 12 words）（3 marks）82．Why will a bride receive such gifts as cooking equipment？（No more than 8 words）（2 marks）83．When does a bachelor party usually take place？（No more than 10 words）（2 marks）84．What is the most important reason for there to be the engagement period？（No more than 18 words）（3 marks）SECTION C（25 marks）Directions：Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese．happyfamily．com是一个致力于消除家长和孩子之间沟通障碍的网站。

But it is more important that these ideals are not merely centered1on the “self”. They should be also the ideals of the majority2of people. Then you would gain strength and confidence towards life.The setting up of an ideal does not merely mean to go without doing anything. Real and concrete3action should be taken. For us students, the most important thing to do is to study both inside and outside school. We study not to become bookworms, but to be well-equipped4and prepared for the pursuit5of our ideals.Sometimes, in striving toward our ideals, we may encounter6 certain difficulties and failures.

computers on our social and economic organization.In industry，computers mean automation，and automation means puters in the USA have already begun to displace workers whose tasks are simple.The variety of jobs，formerly done only by humans，that the machine can perform more rapidly，accurately，and economically，increases with each new generation of computers.If we follow this trend，we will be faced with mass unemployment for all but a handful of highly trained professionals，who will then be more powerful and overworked than they are now.What can we do about it？It is foolish to dream of changing history.We cannot pass laws forbidding the advancement of science and technology.The computing machines are here，and they will grow because engineers want to build them，and politicians want their help in the process of government.In short，they will develop and become popular because they enable us to complete tasks that could never before have been undertaken，no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to puters will continue to increase our intelligence for just the same reason that engines continue to strengthen our muscles.The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not，but rather，since we have had them，how we can make the most humane and intelligent use of them.26．According to the passage，________can best indicate the author's attitude towards the computer.A．very worried B．little doubting C．very hopeful D．rather excited27．The author suggests that the computer will continue to grow because________.A．it is foolish and impossible to controlB．no law can forbid the advancement of scienceC．it can enable us to complete ordinary tasksD．it can be and has been put to good use28．If computers continue to develop，________will be most unlikely to be badly influenced.A．unskilled workers B．highly trained professionals C．ordinary technicians D．government workers29．The main idea of the last paragraph is that________.A．the most humane and intelligent use can be made of computersB．computers will continue to increase our intelligenceC．we are able to build faster and advanced computersD．computers will develop and become popularBThink about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源)，as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s，when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries，people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s，people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However，by the 1940s，when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States，windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s，people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then，wind was rediscovered，though it means higher costs.Today，there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.30．From the text we know that windmills________.A．were invented by European armiesB．have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC．used to supply power to radio in remote areasD．have rarely been used since electricity was discovered31．What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?A．Sailing a boat.B．Producing electricity.C．Grinding wheat into flour.D．Pumping water from underground.32．One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that________.A．wind power is cleanerB．it is one of the oldest power sourcesC．it was cheaper to create energy from windD．the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs33．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A．The advantage of wind power.B．The design of wind power plants.C．The worldwide movement to save energy.D．The global trend towards producing power from wind.第三天美文晨读On AmbitionAmbition is not a frequent word used by most people, since it seems to be a "common sense "that ambition

One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself alone. So he got on the train in front of him to search for his brother.That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院), where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.Brierley is a famous writer now, and in his new book,A Long Way Home, he wrote he couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back inIndia. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”—and there it was. Everything matched!Standing in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing at the entrance. It took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.In an interview Brierley says, “My mother came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, my eyes filled with tears and my brain blank. I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”4. Why did Brierley get on the train when he was a little boy?A. To go back to his home.B. To look for his brother.C. To travel toTasmania.D. To follow a stranger.5. What made it difficult for Brierley to find his hometown?A. The vast area ofIndia.B. The fact that he was nobody then.C. His not remembering the town’s name.D. The distance betweenAustraliaand his hometown.6. How did Brierley find his hometown?A. By studying digital maps.B. By analyzing old pictures.C. By travelling all aroundIndia.D. By spreading his story via his book.7. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Love for MotherB. Union with BrotherC. Memory of HometownD. Long Way back HomeCYou’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, thesculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part ofVon Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped（倾倒）from a truck all atonce.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.8. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?A. Beautifying the city he lives in.B. Introducing eco-friendly products.C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.D. Reducing garbage on the beach.9. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.B. To explain why they are useful.C. To voice his views on modern art.D. To find a substitute for them.10. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?A. Calming.B. Disturbing.C. Refreshing.D. Challenging.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic SafetyB. Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC. Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD. Ocean Plastics Transformed into SculpturesDI cried the first time I saw the Notre Dame（巴黎圣母院）years ago. I'd waited my entire life to see this great French architecture, and experienced it in its full glory on a bright sunny day. Last night, I again cried for thecenturies-old church while watching it burn.I hadn't expected to spend my evening that way. My friend and I were having dinner at a cafe a block or so away from the Notre Dame, choosing to skip going inside with the intention to go back the next day.However, we heard that it caught fire, so we left the cafe and ran towards the church, following heavy smoke from it, and soon we joined a nearly silent crowd. Some were praying, some were crying, but most were staring in disbelief at the disaster happening before us. The fire continued to get worse. About 400 firefighters were working to control the fire. We could see their flashlights shining as they inspected the front from a balcony.The Notre Dame is part of the heartbeat ofParis, I reflected on the experiences I've had there, from attending a bread market out front to admiring the beautiful windows and architecture inside. It is a spot that helps makeParismagical. And here we were, watching it burn down. It was too much to handle, but it was impossible to look away.About 9：30 pm, the gathered crowd spontaneously（自发地）began to sing Hymns（圣歌）to the church. We sang along with the group, feeling at once less like tourists and more like members of them. I hadn't imagined all that before.For hundreds of years, the Notre Dame hasseen the most joyous and the most terrible moments in the lives of both France and her people. And when everyone was able to become one emotional force, it showed that even in her darkest hour, the Notre Dame was still there to bring us all together.12. Why did the author cry for the Notre Dame for the first time?A. She was touched by its greatness.B. She was sorrowful to watch it burn.C. She was regretful for missing its glory.D. She was excited about French cultures.13. What was the author doing when the Notre Dame caught fire?A. Heading for a faraway cafe.B. Visiting a church with a friend.C. Eating nearby with a friend.D. Wandering along the street alone.14. What can we know about the fire scene?A. People expressed their sadness in different ways.B. People were nervously rushing in different directions.C. Hundreds of volunteers joined in putting out the fire.D. Firefighters kept people away with shining flashlights.15. What impressed the author most?A. The church allowed visitors to gaingreat experiences.B. Many foreign tourists became members of the church.C. The church survived disasters for hundreds of years.D. People were brought together to sing to the church.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。

2021届合肥市第七中学高三英语月考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ALost cities that have been foundThe White CityIn 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of"the Lost City of the Monke God"led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion-where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showedthat the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered "the Lost City in the Clouds"in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.1.Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A.To survive the warB.To search for a lost city.C.To protect their country.D.To avoid dangerous animals2.Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A.The White CityB.Canopus and HeracleionC.Machu PicchuD.Troy3.What can we learn about Troy?A.It was built by Homer.B.It consisted of nine citiesC.It had a history of 5,000 yearsD.It was ruined by a natural disaster.BFairy tales perform many functions. They entertain, encourage imagination and teach problem—solving skills. They can also provide moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI (artificial intelligence) can take to its cold, mechanical heart.The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables, novels and other literature. We believe story comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killing humanity which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called “Quixote” (堂吉诃德). It collects story plotsfrom the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact with the store keeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives(指令), the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robotwill learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.Quixote would work best on a robot that has a very limited function. It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particularsociety, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.4. What function do fairy tales perform in the robots?A. They entertain robots.B. They highlight dangers.C. They make robots more intelligent.D. They enable robots to behave morally.5. What is “Quixote” in the text?A. A punishment systemB. A character in literatureC. A big name in technologyD. A software educating robots.6. What does the designer expect robot to do in the experiment?A. To take advantage of its privilege.B. To finish the task most efficiently.C. To perform in a good mannered way.D. To be rewarded by the storekeeper17. Which of the follow can bestexpress the author’s opinion?A. Robots will definitely have more functions.B. Robots with human’s emotions are perfect.C. Training robots to be socially acceptable is necessary.D. The development of robots is still in a baby step.CPlastic is piling up in ecosystems all over the world. Although its harmful impacts on both species and ecosystems have been documented, a few animals—like bowerbirds and hermit crabs—are doing what they can to recycle it. And according to a recent study, wild bees in Canada have joined the effort, which is a rare observation of behavioral flexibility in species especially insects, in increasingly plastic-rich environments.The researchers found two species of leafcutter bees putting plastic into their nests. One of the bees they studied, the alfalfa leafcutter bee, normally bites off pieces of leaves and flowers while the second bee gathers sticky substances from trees. Leafcutter bees don't build big nests or store honey like honeybees, choosing insteadsmall nests in underground holes, tree holes or cracks（裂缝）in buildings. But the researchers found that three of eight brood cells（育雏巢室）contained pieces of plastic bags, replacing 23 percent of the cut leaves in each cell on average.While they don't make honey,alfalfa leafcutter bees still make money for theU. S. and Canadian farmers by pollinating（给......传授花粉）crops including alfalfa , carrots and melons. The European insects were introduced to North America in the 1930s for that purpose, and they've since become wild, joining the continent's many native species of leafcutter bees.In a separate study conducted in Argentina between 2017 and 2018, researchers found a bee nest made entirely of plastic, which consisted of three separate cells. It's the first known example of such construction worldwide. Compared to the other nests the researchers examined, which were made of natural materials, this one had a pretty lower success rate of the bees' survival. One of the cells had a dead baby bee , another seemed to have housed an adult that had left the nest, and the third was unfinished.8. What does the animals' use of plastic show according to the study?A. How widely plastic is used.B. How strange the behavior of wildlife is.C. How some wildlife is adapting to plastic.D. How plastic pollution has harmed them.9. What do leaves mean to alfalfa leafcutter bees?A. Food.B. Shelter.C A plastic substitute. D. Traditional nest materials.10. Which is one characteristic of leafcutter bees?A. They have great economic value.B. They store honey like honeybees.C. They prefer to live in tree holes.D. They have evolved into a new species.11. What was the nest made entirely of plastic like?A. It might be warmer.B. It might be unhealthy.C. It might be easy to finish.D. It might be recyclable.DIt’s 13:30 and 28-year-old Marten Pella 's smart phone starts pinging, a signal that it’s time for us to stopworking around his living room table and instead start our workout routine together. A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.Pella, a research assistant at Stockholm University, is part of the Hoffice movement, which invites workers-freelancers（自由职业者）or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotely—to work at each other’s homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks, before taking short breaks together to exercise, or simply chatting over a coffee. In addition, each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival, and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.“Often when I am alone, I can work focused for a couple of hours but then I’m easily distracted（分心）.The help of others makes me so much more disciplined.” says Pella, who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host. Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts. “People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,” he says.The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen, now 37. He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective（集体的）intelligence, but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table. “I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,” he says.Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere, because there’s a sense of community and desire to contribute. He’s looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice, by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.12. Where is Pella when his smart phone starts pinging?A. In his own home.B. In his office.C. In another person’s home.D. At Stockholm University.13. What do people attending Hoffice events do first when they meet?A. Watch an exercise video.B. Work silently for 45 minutes.C. Tell each other their daily plans.D. Report what they have achieved.14. What does Franzen really mean by saying “friends in similar situations”?A. They usually work alone.B. They often give lectures.C. They study collective intelligence.D. They have to work at a kitchen table.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Sharing Comfortable WorkplacesB. A New Way to Make New FriendsC. Benefits of Collective IntelligenceD.

Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for sleep patterns of children and adults.HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.● The benefits of HugOne include:* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living space.* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed, it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.● The following are selected from customers’ comments:I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.—Robert Compton● HugOne available for purchase includes:I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base in my house. All my family members think highly of it.—Chris HanawaltHugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep.

The passage is made more believable by ______.A. providing statisticsB. drawing a comparisonC. giving a demonstrationD. using recommendationsBIf you easily make mistakes when in a hurry, a new study from Michigan State University—the largest of its kind to date-found that meditation (冥想) could help you improve the situation.The research tested how open monitoring meditation (OMM)—or, meditationthat focuses awareness on feelings or thoughts as they unfold in one’s mind and body—alteredbrain activity in a way that suggested increased error recognition.“People’s interest in meditation is outpacing what science can prove in terms of effects and benefits.” said Jeff Lin, MSU psychology doctoral candidate and study co-author. “But it’s amazing to me that we were able to see how one session of a guided meditation could produce changes to brain activity in non-meditators.”“Some forms of meditation have you focus on a single object, commonly your breath, but open monitoring meditation is a bit different,” Lin said, “It has you tune inward and pay attention to everything going on in your mind and body. The goal is to sit quietly and pay close attention to where the mind travels without getting too caught up in the scenery.”Lin and his MSU co-authors—William Eckerle, Ling Peng and Jason Moser—hired more than 200 participants to test how open monitoring meditation affected how people detect and respond toerrors.The participants, who had never meditated before, were taken through a 20-minute open monitoring meditation exercise while the researchers measured brain activity through electroencephalography (脑电图), or EEG. Then, they completed a computerized distraction (分心) test.“The EEG can measure brain activity at the millisecond level, so we got precise measures of brain activity right after mistakes compared to correct responses,” Lin said. “A certain neural signal occurs about half a second after an error called the error positivity, which is linked to conscious error recognition. We found that the strength of this signal is increased in the meditators to controls.”“These findings show what just 20 minutes of open monitoring meditation can do to improve the brain’s ability to detect and pay attention to mistakes,” Moser said.4. What does the underlined word “altered” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Changed.B. Prevented.C. Started.D. Recorded.5. Why is open monitoring meditation different?A. It is just aimed at a single object.B. It clears your mind of everything.C. It gets too caught up in the scenery.D. It focuses on where the mind travels.6. What did the researchers do for the studyA. They hired people who had meditated before.B. They measured the participants’ brain activity.C. They reminded the participants to avoid errors.D. They had non-meditators design a distraction test.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Turn to OMM to Avoid Acting in a HurryB. You’re Able to Recognize Errors ConsciouslyC. Meditators’ Brain Proves Much More ActiveD. OMM Can Help You Make Fewer MistakesCCoke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.8. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Start.B. Cleaning.C. Shake.D. Example.9. What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A. Use a dry cloth.B. Rub the window lightly.C. Don’t pour too much coke.D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.10. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?A. To get rid of the black on the pot.B. To breakdown the rust,C. To remove smells.D. To clean windows.11. What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. A review.C. A news report.D. A practical guide.DBecause of COVID-19, in many places, large gatherings of people aren’t allowed. In some areas, the rules are more strict, and people aren't allowed to leave their homes unless going out is ly necessary.These steps are very important for slowing the disease down. By doing this, governments can make sure doctors and hospitals are better able to deal with all the sick people, and that fewer people suffer in all. Usually, it's called “flattening the curve”.But if no one can go out, that means businesses which depend on visitors struggle. Many singers, bands, and other musicians would normally be giving concerts now. Instead, they have to find new ways to share their music and connect with their audiences.

2021届合肥市第七中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASpeaking with people on the phone is pretty rare these days. Most people use e-mail or messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. Sometimes, though, making a call is unavoidable. This simple act can actually be a nightmare for some people. Their hearts race and their hands sweat at the very thought. If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of the millions of people who suffer from telephobia—the fear of speaking over the phone.Telephobia is a form of social anxiety, although people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may also experience telephobia. When speaking face-to-face, we give off lots of facial or bodily cues that help each other follow the conversation. This is not the case over the phone. And the idea of speaking into this void（真空）makes people terrified that they will freeze up, stumble over their words（失言）, or lose control of the conversation and look foolish In fact, telephobia is very similar to thefear people feel before putting on a performance in front of a big audience. However, there are things that one suffering from thin condition can do to reduce this fear and make phone calls at least somewhat bearable.One thing that those with telephobia can do before a call in smile. It may sound silly, but smiling before doing something stressful can help you feel more relaxed. It won't delete the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off it.Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. Running through a positive conversation in your head will make you feel less nervous and may help you predict any possible problems. There's no need to spend hours on this, just a few minutes thinking up a general idea of what you want to say. You can even write down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points. This is particularly useful for dealing with the fear of not being able to express yourself naturally.And finally, when faced with receiving a call, you don't always have to pick up. There's nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable.So the next time your phone starts ringing, remember—speaking on the phone doesn't have to make you sweat. The important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.1. According to the article, which situation can cause a feeling similar lo telephobia?A.Speaking face-to-face to a good friend.B. Performing in front of a large audience.C. Running in a race without proper shoes.D. Using a messaging app while on the subway.2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to deal with telephobia?A.Imagining how the call will go before you make it.B. Standing on the edge of a tall building while making a call.C. Calling someone back later instead of answering their phone calls right away.D. Writing down some brief notes to remind yourself of your talking points.3. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To present ways to ease telephobia.B. To explain the development of telephobiaC. To introduce the influence of telephobia.D. To give the reason why someone suffers from telephobia.BHave you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for quite often achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”Theboy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for－to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will endup with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.4. The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be______.A. braveB. impoliteC. foolishD. warm-hearted5. Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?A. To drive them away.B. To show what he had found in digging.C. To show how beautiful the jar was.D. To attract them to join him in the work.6. What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?A. No dream can come true.B. All work will end successfully.C. Goals shouldn’t be set too high.D. Goals will make us work harder.7. The best title for the text should be______.A. A Boy Dug a HoleB. Joy in the JourneyC. No Pain, No GainsD. Failure Is the Mother of SuccessCWith their tiny brains and excellent ability to memorize nectar locations, honeybees are a favorite model organism for studying learning and memory. Such research has indicated that to form long-term memories—ones that last a day or more—the insects need to repeat a training experience at least three times. By contrast, short-and mid-term memories that last seconds to minutes and minutes to hours, respectively, need only a single learning experience.Exceptions to this rule have been observed, however. For example, in some studies, bees formed long-lasting memories after a single learning event. Such results are often regarded as circumstantial anomalies, says Martin Giurfa of the University of Toulouse. But the anomalous findings, together with research showing that fruit flies and ants can form long-term memories after single experiences, aroused Giurfa’s curiosity. Was it possible that honeybees could reliably do the same? Giurfa reasoned that the ability to form long-term memories mightdepend on the particular type of bee and the experience. Within a honeybee colony, there are nurses, who clean the hive and feed the young; guards, who patrol and protect the hive; and foragers, who search for nectar.While previous studies have tested bees as a whole, Ciurfa and his colleagues focused on foragers, tasking them with remembering an experience relevant to their role: an odor associated with a sugary reward.The researchers observed that a single exposure to a reward-paired odor was enough for most forager bees to remember that specific odor the following day. Many foragers could even remember the odor three day later.The results do not mean that all prior research was wrong, says André Fiala of the University of Göttingen. “People have done the experiments in a different way.” Still, the new results do show that “the commonly held belief that one needs multiple training trials to achieve long-term memory is not always true,” he says, and this “really advances the field.”8. What does the author want to tell us through Paragraph 1?A. A model for memory research.B. The classification of memories.C. New research on learning and memory.D. Previous findings on memory formation.9. Which factor might influence a bee’s memory of an experience, according to Giurfa’s research?A. Whether the bee's role is related.B. Whether the bee is introduced or native.C. How often the bee repeats the experience.D. How long the bee is exposed to the reward.10. What is Andre Fiala’s attitude towards the new results?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Intolerant.D. Unclear.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Learning and Memory: How Honeybees RememberB. Honeybee Memory: Honeybee Knows What to DoC. Honeybees Remember after Just One LessonD. Honeybees Use Memory for CommunicationDSlowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjoyed an ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade. She didn't feel too old to travel.Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded. Try renting a car inEurope, for example. InCroatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities. That feels like a " no" for many travelers.Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age. It's their level of fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was disabled and traveling alone on aCaribbeantour. "You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care. " she says. "Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. "But some tour operators serve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability. "Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, "says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. "Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. "12. What is expected if Schaefer travels inCroatiathis year?A. She can rent a car to go around.B. She has to pay more insurance fees.C. She can join in all kinds of activities.D. She will receive 24/7 medical care.13. What caused Veldman to disapprove of the 93-year-old's traveling?A. His old age.B. His lack of money.C. His poor health.D. His in sociable personality.14. What do we know about Grand Circle Travel?A. It is a non-profit traveling organization.B. It offers service to a wide range of travelers.C. It has a history of more than seven decades.D. Its main customers are senior travelers.15. What is the authors altitude towards traveling old?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Tolerant.D. Objective.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。
