The study. (22)_________ has yet to be published in a scientific Journal, adds another dimension to scientists(23)________ (grow)understanding of how plants detect and interact with their surroundings.In recent years, it has become very clear that plants are more sensitive than researchers (24)_________ (think). They respond when touched by insects and turn toward sources of light. “Plants are not just robotic stimulus-response devices,”said Frantisek Baluska of the University of Bonn in Germany. “They’re living organisms which have their own problems.”Actually making their suffering hearable, however, is another matter entirely.(25)________(test) that possibility, a team led by Itzhak Khait, a plant scientist at Tel Aviv University in Israel, placed microphones capable of detecting ultrasonic frequencies(超声波频率) four inches from tomato and tobacco plants. The researcher then either stopped watering them or cut their stems.Measuring in the range of 20 to 150 kilohertz (千赫) the researchers found that even happy healthy plants madethe occasional noise. But when cut, tobacco plants emitted (26)_________average of 15 sounds within an hour of being cut,(27)_________tomato plants produced 25 sounds.(28)_______researchers aren’t yet sure how plants produce these sounds, Khait and his colleagues proposed one possibility in their paper (29)____________as water travels through the plants' tubes, air bubbles will form and explode, producing small vibrations.All this “screaming” caused by stress wasn’t in a range detectable by human ears. But organisms that can hear ultrasonic frequencies like mice, bats or perhaps other plants (30)________possibly hear the plants cries from as far away as 15 feet. Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Italians find “Moments of Joy in this Moment of Anxiety”It started with the national anthem. Then came the piano chords, trumpet blasts, violin serenades(⼩夜曲) and even theclanging of pots and pans--all of it (31)_________from people’s homes, out of windows and from balconies, and resounding across rooftops.Finally, on Saturday afternoon, a nationwide (32)__________of applause broke out for the doctors on the medical front lines fighting the spread of Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak.Italians remain (33)_________under house arrest as the nation, the European front in the global fight against the coronavirus, has ordered extraordinary restrictions on their movement to prevent infection.But the music and noise erupting over the streets, from people (34)_________in their homes, reflects the spirit, resilience and humor of a nation facing its worst national emergency since the Second World War.To the extent that this is a virus that tries people' s souls, it has also demonstrated the (35)__________of those national characters.In China, patriotic truck drivers risked infection to bring(36)_________needed food to the people of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. In Iran, videos show doctors in full combat dress and masks dancing to keep (37)_______up. And in Italy, the gestures of gratitude and music ring out above the country’s empty streets, while social media feeds fill with(38)___________, sentimental and humorous web videos.Images of nurses collapsed from exhaustion or their faces bruised(使受瘀伤) from tightly(39)________maskshave also spread across the web in recent days. Parents posted pictures of unicorns and rainbows drawn by young children with the title “It will all be OK.”“We’re Italians, and loving singing is part of our culture,” said Giorgio Albertini, 51, an archaeology professor who clapped from his apartment balcony in the university district of Milan, calling it a way “to feel a community, and to have the(40)_________grief.”Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has (41)_________it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.This is (42)___________by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)( a somewhat new, divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out into a piece of advice that, to (43)_________happiness, people should "build a life that requires (44)________decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerf’s idea (45)_____________: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of (46)___________people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that, (47)________consistently ordering the second menu item. he never picks where to eat. Rather, he (48)________his decision to his dining partner which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts and always lets them pick.While it's (49)__________what, if any, scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more(50)_______than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设): If you have a clear love of Snickers(⼠⼒架), choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克⼒) or a Milky Way(⽜奶巧克⼒) should bea(51)________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows, most of the time it is, (52)_________you introduce more choices. When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20, including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their (53)_____. When the choices were taken away in later trials. the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.As Quanta details, according to a model called" 'divisive normalization(分裂归⼀化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So, if you have twothings that are clearly (54)___________, brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable. the brain does its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices (55)_________ that ability out.41. A. relieved B. released C. eliminated D. liberated42. A. influenced B. inherited C. implemented D. informed43. A. maximize B. balance C. cherish D. seek44. A safer B. fewer C. better D. sounder45.

While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home. stick her long. straw like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill. she’ll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the waterfrom the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally I never go bad.Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I’d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much to you, to me without ever asking for anything in return.56. What does “me” refer to in the passage?A. The flower.B. The bee.C. Water. D Honey.57. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees’ special talent.B. Bees’ hard work.C. Bees’ living environment.D. Bees’ social behavior.58. Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A. A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B. Before “me” is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.C. The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D. Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens59. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.(B)Get Your Unlimited Card at Cineworld CinemasEnjoy Unlimited FilmsWatch all the films you want at any Cineworld for just one monthly price.Being an Unlimited card holder gives you access to all the 2D films you canhandle for one monthly price.

If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased risk of sunburn. However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex(极地漩涡) and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine(氯)in the atmosphere-from human activities caused the hole to form.“The hole is principally a geophysical curiosity.” said Vincent-Henri Peuch, director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. “We monitored unusual dynamic(动态的)conditions, which drive the process of chemical depletion of ozone. Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric(平流层的)clouds and the catalytic(催化的) destruction of ozone.”The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dramatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing, slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone rich air from lower latitudes. The last time similar conditions were observed was in spring 2011.While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades. The production of ozone depleting chemicals has been dramatically reduced, under the1987 Montreal Protocol(蒙特利尔协议), but some sources appear still to be functioning in 2018unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.New sources of ozone depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch. “However, this is a reminder that one should not take the Montreal Protocol measures for granted and that observations from the ground and from satellites are central to avoid a situation where the ozone destroying chemical level in the stratosphere could increase again.”63. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “depletion”?A. replacement.B. consumption.C. increase.D. production.64. According to the passage, scientists are concerned about the hole because____________.A. it is expected to be a threat to the mankind.B. the new hole is caused by air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.C. it may encourage further scientific research and environmental awareness.D. it wars us of an oncoming climate crisis.65. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A. The hole over the Arctic shares the same causes as the one over the Antarctic.B. Human activities are highly responsible for producing ozone-destroying chemicals.C. The Montreal Protocol has successfully prevented new emissions.D. Some new illegal emissions are to blame for the hole over the Arctic.66. The best title for the passage is probably_________.A. Record-size Hole Opens in Ozone Layer above the Arctic.B Actions Urgently Needed for a New Hole in Ozone Layer.C Environmental Disaster and International Cooperation.D. How a Hole in Ozone Affects our Life on Earth.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.People like to post their selfies(⾃拍照)on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New Yorkrecently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism, the researchers said. (67)_________Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University. said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.(68)_________Some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience. it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. (69)_______Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments.(70)__________On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos even if they click “like”.TV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage, Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It's natural to feel the need to control something when everything around you feels out of control, and you feel helpless. When a friend of mine first heard about the coronavirus outbreak. she got down on her hand. and knees and cleaned her kitchen floor. She told me, “My floor wasn’t even dirty, but doing something constructive made me feel in control and that I was holding on to my power, despite the desperate circumstances.”Your most powerful weapon against uncertainty is your perspective because nobody and no situation can take that from you unless you give it away. Your perspective can victimize or empower you. When you look for the upside in a downside situation and figure out what you can control and what you can't, it's easier to accept whatever is beyond your control.⾼三英语调研测试（试卷参考答案）I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 BDBCB6-10 CBCCDSection B11-13 AAC14-16 BAD17-20 ACDCII.

First, good perspective is of the greatest help, for evaluating the situation properly brings a clearer picture. Second, kind behaviors during tough times can secure you a sense of control as well. Third, actions and thoughts of positivity also help as they may create hope and optimism.It's essential to feel you can control something in a crisis or emergency. Positive perspective is the most important, since it will ensure you confidence and power to pull through the difficult situation. Then doing small good deeds can free you from worry temporarily by helping others. Lastly. take some positive action to arouse the hope within you.V. Translation72.

However, bird flu is a completely different story.In 2003, the H5N1 bird flu swept across 15 countries, including China, with sufferers reporting chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever and severe coughing. More than 600 people were infected, and about 60 percent died. Now, another type of bird flu hit Shanghai and three neighboring provinces, and this time the virus is called H7N9. By the afternoon of April 11, the new virus had taken nine lives out of 35 infected, according to Xinhua News Agency.The “H” and “N” in the virus’ name refer to two kinds of proteins (蛋白质) on the surface of the virus. Any change of the numbers of the two proteins indicates a new mutation(变异). Most of the mutations only affect birds, such as chickens and pigeons, and don’t normally spread to humans. But once they do, the results can be disastrous.“Any time an animal influenza virus crosses to humans, it is a cause for concern, ” Malik Peiris, virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Hong Kong, told Nature magazine. Take the SARS epidemic (传染病) in 2003 as an example. The virus behind the disease is thought to have jumped to humans from animals. The virus was a complete “stranger” to human bodies, which hadn’t developed an immunity (免疫力) against it.But there is something more about the new H7N9 bird flu. Unlike the H5N1 bird flu, which causes severe sickness in birds, the H7N9 has been evolving under the radar(悄悄地) since it travels between birds without causing noticeable illness. That makes it difficult to keep track of the disease.The good news is that there’s so far no sign that the virus is spreading from perso n to person. But since there is no vaccine (疫苗) for the disease yet, the World Health Organization recommends that you wash your hands after meeting with sick people and before and after you eat or preparefood, and they also suggest avoiding contact with birds or their eggs.4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A．The H5N1 bird flu turned out to have something to do with the SARS epidemic.B．More than 600 people across the world died from the H5N1 bird flu in 2003.C．Most of the mutations of the proteins in the bird flu virus are harmful to both birds and humans.

Solaja lived on campus with 10 to 1s other students in the Arts and Business LLC．Three reasons may account for the prospective international stadents willingnessto consider LLCS.1. Connect with like-minded students: Prospective international students can choose an LLC to fully experience college life in a new country and find immediate support among residents: Unlikeother housing arrangements, LLCS can provide a built-in community of like-minded individuals Solaja says a highlight of her experience in the LLC was"forming relationships with upper-year students in my program. This peer leader provided her with everything from academic support to guidance on how to survive Canadian winters. Many LLCS have upper-division students who serve as peer leaders.Australian Natasha Fitzpatrick says she's happy to share her love for travel and cultural exploration. "A group of us hired a car and traveled down to North Carolina sightseeing.”2. Participate in community activities: For those worried about being on the outside as a new international student, LLCS encourage participation through various on-and off-campus activities.

Network for job opportunities: International students who plan to gain work experience in the country they study in can benefit from LLCS that are associated with campus departments and staff. This can provide them with chances to network and inquire about work opportunities.Liu says when Chinese tutoring positions and graduate assistantships became available, she thought of international students from the Global Awareness LLC who previously helped her organize events. She also wrote reference letters for those students when they applied to graduate school.Robert C．Demezzo, director of residence life at Southern Connecticut State University, says LLCS "help many intermational students secure employment on campus.Solaja says her year living in Waterloo's Arts and Business LLC was one of her best decisions."

Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, ''go steady'' through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying heads over the ways of rebellious youth. However, emotional maturity does not grow with age; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. However, any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one'sproblems; more often, it merely worsens them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say that they are abandoning one idol only to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate good, but they themselves are wrong in believing that they have found the true center of life's meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially unrealistic and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment (幻想破灭) is often bound to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically practicable, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.12．From Para. 1 we can learn that .A．emotional maturity automatically grow with ageB．some old people disapprove of early marriageC．growing group of college students are against early marriageD．the emotional expectations of young lovers are too high13．The author's attitude to marriage as an escape is .A．negative B．unsureC．indifferent D．acceptable14．It can be implied from the last paragraph that .A．early marriages should not be encouragedB．later marriages are always better than early marriagesC．each marriage should be looked at differentlyD．young people can benefit a lot from early marriage15．What's the best title of the passage?A．Disillusionment in Marriage B．Expectations for MarriageC．Marriages and Emotional Maturity D．The Trend of Early Marriages第二节微.博橙.子辅导（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。

2020年高三英语二模试卷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AIt looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.Kong: Skull IslandA reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.Release Date:3/10/17Beauty and the BeastDirector Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.Release Date:3/17/17The Fate of the FuriousThere was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go.Release Date:4/14/17Spider-Man: HomecomingSpider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark, played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride.Release Date:7/7/171.Which of the following movies can’t you see on May Day?A.Kong: Skull Island.B.Beauty and the Beast.C.The Fate of the Furious.D.Spider-Man: Homecoming.2.What can we know about Beauty and the Beast?A.It is fueling up for another go.B.It is produced by Marvel StudiosC.It’ll show us Peter Parker’s school days.D.It’ll be enjoyable for both children and adults.3.What does the underlined word “cast” probably mean?A.Characters.B.Actors.C.Directors.D.Teachers.BIf there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls, what can explain girls’ poor performance in science and math?It hasbeen suggested that girls do not take math courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine (女性的) and attractive (有魅力的).However, there are still more high-achieving boys than girls when taking math exams. This difference appears to be worldwide. Biological explanations have been offered for this, but there are other explanations too.Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences. From their first days in kindergarten, boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks. Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who gave answers.Besides, there can be little doubt that teachers of math and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students. They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls. They spend more time with the boy students, giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them. They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion. They also praise boys more frequently. All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and math and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed.Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many math and science courses, nor is it likely to support girls who do. When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls.4. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?A. To find differences between boys and girls.B. To explain the poor performance of girls.C. To ask readers a question.D. To introduce the topic.5. The text mainly discusses ________ reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements.A. biologicalB. personalC. socialD. historical6. What does the text say about great mathematicians?A. Their teachers did not offer answers to them.B. They started learning math at an earlier age.C. They showed mathematical abilities in their teenage years.D. Their success resulted from their strong interest in math.7. The author would probably agree that ________.A. boys and girls learn in the same wayB. boys and girls are equal in general intelligenceC. girls are more confident in themselves than beforeD. girls should take fewer science courses than boysCIt is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids — particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example, we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic！” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works.What we think, we automatically rehearse.For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree，” he will think of two things：“don't” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how tobe safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？” or “How do you think I'll feel if you drown？” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.8. Positive choice of words helps kids to ________.A. learn in different situationsB. do things carefullyC. build up their confidenceD. improve their imagination9. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. A child will act on what is instructed.B. One can't help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.10. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?A. How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?B. Don't play by the lake.C. Don't you dare to walk through the red light?D. Fasten your seat belt.11. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. positive instructions guide kidsB. praise makes kids confidentC right instructions keep kids safe D. clear commands make kids differentDNewspapers in Great Britainvarygreatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners ofthirty years ago.12. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself _________.A. a serious newspaperB. foreign newspaperC. any independent paperD. a popular newspaper13. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for ________ years.A. 19B. 85C. 236D. 22914. The Times is an independent paper because ________.A. it supports no political partiesB. it is not controlled by the British GovernmentC. it gives special support to all the political parties.D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper15. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “_________”.A. improveB. compete with each otherC. are differentD. keep in touch with each other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。

However, bird flu is a completely different story.In 2003, the H5N1 bird flu swept across 15 countries, including China, with sufferers reporting chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever and severe coughing. More than 600 people were infected, and about 60 percent died. Now, another type of bird flu hit Shanghai and three neighboring provinces, and this time the virus is called H7N9. By the afternoon of April 11, the new virus had taken nine lives out of 35 infected, according to Xinhua News Agency.The “H” and “N” in the virus’ name refer to two kinds of proteins (蛋白质) on the surface of the virus. Any change of the numbers of the two proteins indicates a new mutation(变异). Most of the mutations only affect birds, such as chickens and pigeons, and don’t normally spread to humans. But once they do, the results can be disastrous.“Any time an animal influenza virus crosses to humans, it is a cause for concern, ” Malik Peiris, virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Hong Kong, told Nature magazine. Take the SARS epidemic (传染病) in 2003 as an example. The virus behind the disease is thought to have jumped to humans from animals. The virus was a complete “stranger” to human bodies, which hadn’t developed an immunity (免疫力) against it.But there is something more about the new H7N9 bird flu. Unlike the H5N1 bird flu, which causes severe sickness in birds, the H7N9 has been evolving under the radar(悄悄地) since it travels between birds without causing noticeable illness. That makes it difficult to keep track of the disease.The good news is that there’s so far no sign that the virus is spreading from person to person. But since there is no vaccine (疫苗) for the disease yet, the World Health Organization recommends that you wash your hands after meeting with sick people and before and after you eat or prepare food, and they also suggest avoiding contact with birds or their eggs.4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A．The H5N1 bird flu turned out to have something to do with the SARS epidemic.B．More than 600 people across the world died from the H5N1 bird flu in 2003.C．Most of the mutations of the proteins in the bird flu virus are harmful to both birds and humans.D．The name, H7N9 bird flu, shows that there have been new mutations of the proteins in the virus.5．With the example of the SARS epidemic in Paragraph 5, the author intends to.A．introduce where the SARS virus came fromB．inform us of the harmful effects of the SARS epidemic ten years agoC．show the horrible effects an animal influenza virus can have once it spreads to humansD．compare the differences between the SARS epidemic and the H7N9 bird flu6．What makes the H7N9 bird flu more frightening than the H5N1 bird flu according to the text?A．It can cause severe sickness in birds.B．It can spread from person to person.C．It affects a greater number of birds.D．It doesn’t sicken birds and thus can spread unnoticed.7．What are people advised to do to protect themselves against the H7N9 bird flu?a. To get vaccinated for the disease.b. To keep away from birds and their eggs.c. To stop eating chickens and ducks.d. To avoid meeting with sick people.e. To wash hands thoroughly and regularly.A．a, b B．c, d C．b, e D．a, eCWhen considering housing options at the University of Waterloo in Canada, Nigerian undergraduate student Ayooluwa Solaja chose a Living Learning Community, a residential house focused on a theme or academic interest area.

For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic,75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for Tennessee natives. But now, the secret is out! Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.Sliding RockA popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.Mooney FallsIt is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling（爬）through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff（峭壁）face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.Lihue EstateA private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches（沟渠）that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.1.

It lies on the top of Mount WaialealeBPlanned missions to the moon need to hurry up to avoid hitting one of the busiest periods for extreme space weather, according to scientists conducting the most in-depth ever research on solar storm timing.Scientists at theUniversityofReadingstudied 150 years of space weather data to look into patterns in the timing of the most extreme events,which can be extremely dangerous to astronauts and satellites. This new research on space weather timing allows predictions to be made for extreme space weather. Therefore, it could be used to plan the timing of activities, which could be affected by extreme space weather, for example, major space missions.The researchers found for the first time that extreme space weather events are more likely to occur early in or late solar cycles-such as the one just starting. The findings may have influences on the NASA-led Artemis mission. It plans to make humans return to the moon in 2024, but can be put off to the late 2020s.Professor Mathew Owens, a space physicist at theUniversityofReading, said, “Until now, the most extreme space weather events were thought to berandomin their timing. Though there is no set pattern of the events, this research suggests they are more predictable.”In the new study, the scientists used a new method applying statistical modelling to storm timing for the first time. Previous research generally focused on how big extreme space weather events can be, based on observations of previous events. Predicting their timing is far more difficult because extreme events are rare, so there is ly little historic data to identify patterns. The findings suggest that any major planned space missions , which is beyond the next five years, will have to consider the higher probability of extreme space weather late in the present solar cycle between 2026 and 2030.4. What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs?A. It has lasted just 150 years.B. It doesn't refer to space weather data.C. It shows space weather has no effect on astronauts.D. It makes it possible to predict extreme space weather.5. Why might the NASA-led Artemis mission be put off?A. To research solar cycles.B. To avoid effects of space weather.C. To meet the needs of the astronauts.D. To make humans return to Earth in 2024.6. What does the underlined word “random“ in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Irregular.B. Easy.C. Limited.D. Changeless.7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The study is useful for future space missions.B. The planned space missions should be put off.C. Extreme space weather will happen before 2026.D. Previous observations make no difference to the study.CWhen you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than striding down a sidewalk — because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. Turns out, the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads. The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) — and it makes it such that it’s continuously driving up a very shallow hill.Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M.I.T. and histeam modeled how much energy could be saved — and green-house gases avoided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the nation’s roads and highways. And they found that stiffening 10 percent of the nation’s roads every year could prevent 440 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the next five decades — enough to offset half a percent of projected transportation sector emissions over that time period. To put those emissions savings into context — that amount is equivalent to how much CO2 you’d spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground — or by growing seven billion trees — for a decade.The results are in the Transportation Research Record.As for how to stiffen roads? Gregory says you could mix small amounts of synthetic fibers orcarbon nanotubes into paving materials. Or you could pave with cement-based concrete, which is stiffer than asphalt (沥青).This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles. Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you’re talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people — as opposed to changing the way we design and maintain our pavements. That’s just on the order of thousands of people who are working intransportation agencies. And when it comes to retrofitting (翻新) our streets and highways —those agencies are where the rubber meets the road.8. Why does the author mention “walk on a sandy beach” in paragraph 1?A. To present a fact.B. To make a contrast.C. To explain a rule.D. To share an experience.9. What suggestion does the author give to reduce CO2 emissions?A. Hardening the road.B. Keeping oil in the ground.C. Growing trees for decades.D. Improving the transportation.10. What is the advantage of this suggestion?A. Gaining more support.B. Consuming less money.C. Involving more people.D. Facing fewer usual obstacles.11. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph?A.Those agencies are likely to make more rules.B. Those agencies will change some related policies.C. Those agenciesmight put more rubber tires on the roads.D. Those agencies will play a key role in making this happen.DMy mother is a teacher. I often asked her, “ Why do you teach? What keeps you teaching?” The answer was always the same. “There is always that one child, that one moment that is worth it.”Now, I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors. And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was, “It’s that one child, that one special moment.”One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme. Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a“High” one called the Wire Walk.In the Wire Walk, each girl had to climb up the pegs in a tree to a wire, 8 meters high, and then walk across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.When it was Susie's turn, it seemed that she didn't really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She answered softly, “I suppose.”Now, Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much further.Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight, looking very afraid. Her eyes were closed.With her face against the tree, she cried, “I can't.”The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.“I will still be your friend no matter what, Susie!” Mary broke the silence.To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled. Mary smiled back.Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she looked for was from Mary. We all cheered. Moments like this keep me doing what I do.12. Why did Susie stop halfway up to the wire?A. It was too high for her to reach.B. She was too afraid to move on.C. Something was wrong with it.D. The teacher asked her to do it.13. Why did Mary break the silence?A. To try again herself.B. To relax the writer.C. To encourage Susie.D. To draw Susie's attention.14. What can we learn from the story of Susie?A. Helping others is helping ourselves.B. A word of encouragement matters a lot.C. Outdoor activities bring peoplecloser than ever.D. A good method plays an important role in teaching.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Wire WalkB. That One MomentC. Fear and CourageD.

They are not open to kids unaccompanied.23. Who would most probably be interested in Castle Rock?A. College graduates.B. Retired citizens.C. Newly- married couples.D. Parents with kids.BPeople often ask how I decide where lo go, and I usually get hesitated with my response, as I don' t actually have an answer to that. For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from location to location at seemingly random intervals.A friend of mine posted a Facebook status asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching English in China. So I jumped on a coming plane. Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn't understand a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we connected.Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in good fellowship, being a role model, being a parent, and being a friend. I became a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in between the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave me when I yelled or got upset. And when they threw temper or bruised their knee or missed their mommy, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.Teaching English in China is, by far, the most emotionally rewarding and fulfilling thing I've ever challenged myself to do. I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives. I want that. I want my teachings to be reciprocal because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how lo be a more 1oving and patient person.24. What can we learn about the writer before he came to China?A. He didn't have a fixed job.B. He was a professional writer.C He worked in a travel agency. D. He taught in a language school.25. What was the situation like when the author met his students for the first time?A. Hard.B. Exciting.C. Touching.D. Inspiring.26. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?A. He was casual and patient.B. He was responsible but sensitive.C. He was cautious but bad-tempered.D. He was self-reflective and considerate.27, What does the underlined word “reciproc al” in Paragraph 4 most probably m ean?A. Beneficial.B. Interacted. C Encouraging. D. Acceptable,CAfrican penguins ( Spheniscus demer sus) bear the unfortunate nickname “ jackass penguins” because they communicate through honking, donkey-like sounds. Laugh at them if you like, but a new study suggests that their jackass language act actually follows the same basic rules as ours.In the study published in the journal Biology Letters, researchers recorded nearly 600 vocalizations (发声) from 28 adult male penguins living in Italian zoos. (Males tend to vocalize 8 lot during the mating period, whichis why the researchers turned to this population). The scientists knew from previous research that African penguins bonk using three distinct types of sound, similar to human syllables (音节), when greeting one another, mating，or defending territory. But the researchers wanted to know whether those “s y llables” foll owed two common linguistic (语言学的) rules.One of those rules, called Zipf's law in short, was proposed in 1945 by the linguist George Zipf. The law states that the more frequently a word is used in any language, the shorter it t ends to be (think of words like “the,”“to” and “of” in English). Previous studies have analyzed more than 1. 000 world languages for evide nce of Zipf’s 1aw. and the rule holds up in all of then.The other rule, known as the Menzerath-Altmann law, says that the longer a word or phrase is, the shorter its comtuponen1 syllables are, while shorter words are more likely to have longer syllables. The word “o nom atopoeia,” for exa mple, is made of six very short syllable s, while “couch”is made of one longer one. Previous studies have shown that nonhuman primates (灵长类动物) follow both these rules when they communicate with each other. but what about jackass penguins?The researchers in the new study found that, yes, the songs of the male jackass penguin conform to both Zipf's and Menzerath- Altmann? s laws; The shortest calls tended to be the most common, and the longest phrases were made up of the shortest syllables. This jackass study provided the first nonprimate evidence that these common linguistic pal1erns extend into the animal kingdom, the authors wrote, and that' s nothing to hem and haw at.28. Why did the researchers choose adult male jackass penguins?A. They can vocalize different kinds of sounds.B. They are more accessible than other penguins.C. They communicate with each other through honking.D). They make sounds frequently during the mating period.29. What does the author try to express by mentioning the words “the”,“to” and“o f” in English?A. George Zipf's idea is reasonable.B. These words are extremely simple.C. Previous studies ate very meaningful.D. English is quite similar to other languages.30. Which of the following fully explains what the Menzerath- Altmann law means?A. Egg and food.B. Contradictory and shout.C. Learn and earn.D. Discrimination and prescription.31. What conclusion has the new study made?A. Many languages follow the same linguistic rules.B. How Jackass penguins communicate wi1h each other.C. Jackass penguins obey linguistic rules similar to those of humans.D. ZipF's law and Menzerath Alumann law are commonly applied rules.DMuch of the information that is sent back from space is useless. Pictures taken by satellites orbiting the Earth might take days to download, only to show lots of cloud hiding the area of interest. The subject matter may also be surrounded by irrelevant information.Processing data in space before sending back would reduce unnecessary information, but this can be tricky. Rays in the universe randomly flip the ones and zeroes that computers operate on, introducing unpredictable errors. High levels of radiation can also damage electronic circuits (电子电路). KP Labs, based in Poland, is building a satellite to overcome some of these problems. Their device, called Inuition-1. is controlled by a neural network, a form of artificial intelligence modeled on the human brain.Intuition- l will be equipped with a hyperspectral imager (超光谱成像仪), which takes 150 pictures of every scene it looks at. Each picture is at a different frequency, so contains different information. The neural network pieces these together using powerful graphics chips (芯片) hardened against radiation. The developers have also built error correction into their software. But instead of sending back every bit of image data, the satellite will summarize what the user requests as useful information. This might, for instance, be a heat map showing areas o[ weeds in a field or the location of a forest fire. Reducing the data loud means that. some of the information can be sent live.The satellite will be used to prove that a hardened neural network can survive in space. This could pave the way for other space applications. For example, the Curiosity rover (探测器) on Mars was successfully upgraded in 2016 with a set of algorithms to detect “interesting” rocks for investigation, instead of picking them randomly. A neural network could provide future rovers and deep-space probes with a better ability to make decisions.The neural network and hyperspectral imager have already been built and tested by KP labs. They will go into a satellite body being constructed by Clyde Space. After that there will be more intelligence in space.32. Why docs the author say processing data in the universe can be very tricky?A Rays and radiation disturbs data processing.B. The pictures taken by satellites are not so clear.C. The data to be processed are not accurate enough.D. Processing data in the universe is time-consuming.33. What do we learn about Intuition-l?A. ]t can take pictures much faster.B. It can survive much longer in space.C. It can correct mistakes from users’ request.D. It can improve the stability of data processing.34. What does the underlined phrase “p ave t he way” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Set an example.B. Remove barriers.C. Reduce the cost.D. Increase the efficiency.35. What's the text mainly about?A. The ways of dealing with data.B. The importance of collecting data.C The upgrade of processing space images.D. The potential influence of Al in the universe. .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人空白处的最住选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Noise ，in fact，is unwanted sound and is a kind of invisible killer. More and m ore students enjoy listening to music very much. When they li sten to MP3 players, they like to turn up the volume (音量)．Some people love listening to loud music. Furthermore, while watching TV, they keep the volume up. But they haven't realized that the noise is weakening their hearing. In fact, the noise not only influences each member in the family, but also makes a difference to the comfort of neighbors.Noise pollution is a source of increasing misery (痛苦) to people in our society. If people are often disturbed by it, they may feel uncomfortable or upset. What's worse, the nois e can make people mad sometimes. If a worker works in a pri nting factory for too long, his/her hearing loss is much faster t han a common person working in a quieter environment. So e verybody must pay more attention to noise pollution. Generall y speaking，the following four types of noise should be watched out for：◆Noise in the street◆Construction site noise◆Noise at work◆Transportation noiseI think the local department should take measures to control t he noise levels, but it's everybody's duty to keep a quiet environment.( ) 7．Why is noise called a kind of invisible killer?A.

Everybody has a duty to keep a quiet environment.( )11．What's the best title for the passage?A. Different Kinds of PollutionB. The Harm of Noise PollutionC. Hearing LossD. Our HealthDDuring the past Spring Festival，many children may have received red packets from their famili es. But Xing Pu，a 40－year－old economist，is asking the government to give red packets to every Chines e citizen.Xing suggested the government give out 1，000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has i ncreased rapidly in recent years.He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's eco nomic success，help the lower－income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumpti on (消费) around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro－poor (有益穷人的) and pro－rural (有益农村的) policies，including increasing spending on public health care and callin g off the agricultural tax.But the lower－income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11－year high in prices and recent snowstorms.Xing said while making the draft ，he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like t he United States and Singapore. Earlier this year，the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts (救济品) to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government in come. As for in China，“We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1，000 yuan red packet to the poor，”said Xing.Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among o rdinary Chinese on the Internet，many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.“To better use the increasing money，handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all tim e. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the pri ce of energy use in daily life，”said Qiao Xinsheng，an economic professor.12．Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1，000 yuan to each Chinese because _____．A．the poor should get help from the richB．the government should help the richC．the growing economic pie should be shared among the pe opleD．the government doesn't know how to use the money 13．What has the government done to help the lower－income group?A．Spending less on public health care.B．Increasing the agricultural tax.C．Carrying out pro－poor policies.D．Handing out money to every Chinese.14．Xing Pu's ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese ci tizen mainly came from _______．A．children receiving red packets from their familiesB．the US and governments offering cash handouts to their citizensC．the government's increasing spending on public health ca reD．the rising prices in the country15．Xing Pu's suggestion ________．A．was supported by everyone in the countryB．caused debates on the InternetC．was supported by the governmentD．would be adopted soon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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The opening ceremony for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on July 23, 2021 after a year of waiting due to the pandemic. Let's take a look at the highlights which make this opening ceremony unique.No spectatorsThere are no spectators during the opening ceremony in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infections. About 950 people, including officials and journalists, will watch in the main stadium, organizers said. Fewer athletes are expected to attend the ceremony because many are not allowed to stay for the entire Games due to COVID-19 restrictions.Male and female flag-bearersThe International Olympic Committee has actively encouraged all delegations toselect two flag-bearers at the opening ceremony, including one woman, as women's participation in the Tokyo Games reaches 48.8 percent, making it the most gender-balanced Olympics in the history of the event.Oath (宣誓) session updatedOne of the most symbolic parts of the opening ceremony—the Olympic oath—has been significantly adapted in order to “highlight the importance of solidarity, inclusion, non-discrimination and equality”. The number of oath-takers is also extended from three to six—two athletes, two coaches and two judges.Simplified ceremonyIn the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public, the performances are integrated with dances, scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festival activities.In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the ceremony will be greatly simplified, with more light and shadow technology used instead of real decorations at the scene.1.Why isn't there any spectator during the opening ceremony?A.To limit the number of people present.B.To highlight the spirit of the Olympic Games.C.To control the spread of an infectious disease.D.To make room for the athletes all over the world.2.Why is each delegation encouraged to select one woman as a flag-bearer in Tokyo Olympics?A.Women will be in a leading position in sports.B.Women athletes make up a larger percentage than ever.C.Women will play a more important part in society.D.More and more women will take part in the Olympic Games.3.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Oath-takers are made up of six athletes.B.Tokyo uses more real decorations to cut the cost.C.About 950 people watch the entire games in the Tokyo Games.D.The opening ceremony presents the traditional culture of Japan.B“Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” William Wordsworth wrote. In the above quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or don’t. Before you start to work in your garden, it’s necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what youwant to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless. Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isn’t suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life’s soil.You don’t have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap(收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It’s a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you’ll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love.A gardener’s trulyarduouswork begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested.4. What is important before gardeners break ground in their gardens?A. Receiving some training in planting.B. Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.C. Having the courage to accept the worst outcome.D. Doing research on the common local garden plants.5. What is compared to getting education by the author?A. Improving the condition of the soil.B. Growing your most favorable plants.C. Taking care of the plants in your garden.D. Selecting proper goals in gardening work.6. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 3?A. Your quality of life depends on your positive action.B. Your experience can help you understand plants better.C. Your choice of soil is an important part in your gardening.D. Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener.7. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. BeneficialB. CreativeC. Boring.D. ToughC“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to makethathappen. It’s called upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom.Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Upcycling is actually much better for the environment. Recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then uses that material to make another product. This requires a great deal of energy. On the other hand, when you choose to upcycle, the only energy you use is your own. And upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills,but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. Recycling is good for the environment, but upcycling is even better.Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Of course, the idea of reusing items to save money is not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs.As responsible citizens, we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting our resources. Upcycling is a fun and creative way to help. The next time you go to toss something into the trash can, stop and think about what it could become. Chances are, there’s a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be upcycled.8. Why does the author mention an old saying in the first paragraph?A. To arise reader’s awareness of upcycling.B. To stress the importance of upcycling.C. To lead in the topic of upcycling.D. To show the idea of upcycling.9. Which one below belongs to upcycling?A. An old ladder is transformed into a bookshelf.B. Old tin cans are transported to landfill.C. A broken wooden door is chopped up.D. Old cloth is made into a paper bed.10. What is the difference between recycling and upcycling?A. Upcycling is much more creative.B. Recycling is much easier to achieve.C. Recycling is much more cost-saving.D. Upcycling is much more energy-efficient.11. What can be inferred from the text?A. Upcycling is popular at present.B. Upcycling is replacing recycling.C. Upcycling is worth recommending.D. Upcycling is a tradition in daily life.DA 25-year-old American with a university degree can expect to livea decade longer than a peer who dropped out of high school. Although researchers have long known that the rich live longer than the poor, this education gap is less well documented. And although the average American’s expected span(预期寿命) has been smooth in recent year—and, shockingly, even fell between 2015 and 2017—that of the one-third with a bachelor’s degree has continued to lengthen.This gap in life expectancy is growing, according to new research published in the report of the National Academy of Sciences. Anne Case and Angus Deation ofPrincetonUniversityfound that the lifespans of those with and without a bachelor’s degree started to become different in the 1990s and 2000s. This gap grew even wider in the 2010s.What is the link between schooling and longevity(长寿)? Some argue that better-educated people develop healthier lifestyles: each additional year of study reduces the chances of being a smoker and of being overweight. The better-educated earn more, which in turn is associated with greaterhealth.Ms Case and Mr Deaton argue that changes in labor markets, including the rise of automation and increased demand for highly-educated workers, coupled with the rising costs of employer-provided health care, have decreased the supply of well-paid jobs for those without a degree. This may be contributing to higher rates of alcohol and drug use, suicide and other “deaths of despair”.The authors argued that the educational gap in mortality(致死率) will widenin the wake ofthe covid-19 pandemic. ForAmerica’s overall life expectancy to start climbing again, improvements will be needed across all social groups, not just among the privileged few.12. When did the lifespans of people with and without a degree vary greatly?A. In the 1990s.B. In the 2020sC. In the 2000sD. In the 2010s13. According to the article, changes in labor markets reduce jobs for those without a degree. Which change is NOT included?A. The rising spending of employer-provided health care.B. The gap in life expectancy.C. Raised request for better-educated workers.D. The development of automation.14. What does the underlined phrase “in the wake of” probably mean ?A. afterB. untilC. beforeD. while15. What is the best title for the text?A. Changes in labor market.B. Quit bad habits by Further studyC. Educated Americans live longer.D. Highly-educated people develop healthier lifestyles.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。

However, bird flu is a completely different story.In 2003, the H5N1 bird flu swept across 15 countries, including China, with sufferers reporting chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever and severe coughing. More than 600 people were infected, and about 60 percent died. Now, another type of bird flu hit Shanghai and three neighboring provinces, and this time the virus is called H7N9. By the afternoon of April 11, the new virus had taken nine lives out of 35 infected, according to Xinhua News Agency.The “H” and “N” in the virus’ name refer to two kinds of proteins (蛋白质) on the surface of the virus. Any change of the numbers of the two proteins indicates a new mutation(变异). Most of the mutations only affect birds, such as chickens and pigeons, and don’t normally spread to humans. But once they do, the results can be disastrous.“Any time an animal influenza virus crosses to humans, it is a cause for concern, ” Malik Peiris, virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Hong Kong, told Nature magazine. Take the SARS epidemic (传染病) in 2003 as an example. The virus behind the disease is thought to have jumped to humans from animals. The virus was a complete “stranger” to human bodies, which hadn’t developed an immunity (免疫力) against it.But there is something more about the new H7N9 bird flu. Unlike the H5N1 bird flu, which causes severe sickness in birds, the H7N9 has been evolving under the radar(悄悄地) since it travels between birds without causing noticeable illness. That makes it difficult to keep track of the disease.The good news is that there’s so far no sign that the virus is spreading from person to person. But since there is no vaccine (疫苗) for the disease yet, the World Health Organization recommends that you wash your hands after meeting with sick people and before and after you eat or preparefood, and they also suggest avoiding contact with birds or their eggs.4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A．The H5N1 bird flu turned out to have something to do with the SARS epidemic.B．More than 600 people across the world died from the H5N1 bird flu in 2003.C．Most of the mutations of the proteins in the bird flu virus are harmful to both birds and humans. D．The name, H7N9 bird flu, shows that there have been new mutations of the proteins in the virus. 5．With the example of the SARS epidemic in Paragraph 5, the author intends to . A．introduce where the SARS virus came fromB．inform us of the harmful effects of the SARS epidemic ten years agoC．show the horrible effects an animal influenza virus can have once it spreads to humans D．compare the differences between the SARS epidemic and the H7N9 bird flu6．What makes the H7N9 bird flu more frightening than the H5N1 bird flu according to the text? A．It can cause severe sickness in birds.B．It can spread from person to person.C．It affects a greater number of birds.D．It doesn’t sicken birds and thus can spread unnoticed.7．What are people advised to do to protect themselves against the H7N9 bird flu?a. To get vaccinated for the disease.b. To keep away from birds and their eggs.c. To stop eating chickens and ducks.d. To avoid meeting with sick people.e. To wash hands thoroughly and regularly.A．a, b B．c, d C．b, e D．a, eCWhen considering housing options at the University of Waterloo in Canada, Nigerian undergraduate student Ayooluwa Solaja chose a Living Learning Community, a residential house focused on a theme or academic interest area. Solaja lived on campus with 10 to 1s other students in the Arts and Business LLC．Three reasons may account for the prospective international stadents willingnessto consider LLCS.1. Connect with like-minded students: Prospective international students can choose an LLC to fully experience college life in a new country and find immediate support among residents: Unlikeother housing arrangements, LLCS can provide a built-in community of like-minded individuals Solaja says a highlight of her experience in the LLC was"forming relationships with upper-year students in my program. This peer leader provided her with everything from academic support to guidance on how to survive Canadian winters. Many LLCS have upper-division students who serve as peer leaders.Australian Natasha Fitzpatrick says she's happy to share her love for travel and cultural exploration. "A group of us hired a car and traveled down to North Carolina sightseeing.”2. Participate in community activities: For those worried about being on the outside as a new international student, LLCS encourage participation through various on-and off-campus activities. For example, students in a fashion LLC have attended Toronto Fashion weekThrough LLCS, international students will have more opportunities to interact with domestic students, faculty and staff members outside classrooms,"says Shijuan Laurel Liu, assistant professor of Chinese and a partner with the Global Awareness LLC．In a Chinese New Year celebration associated with the LLC, for instance, students from her language and culture courses worked with Chinese students to introduce Chinese culture to the communitySolaja says coming from a different education system in Nigeria with sometimes unapproachable professors, she enjoyed LLC on-campus events like when she played board games with Waterloo professors and academic advisers.3. Network for job opportunities: International students who plan to gain work experience in the country they study in can benefit from LLCS that are associated with campus departments and staff. This can provide them with chances to network and inquire about work opportunities.Liu says when Chinese tutoring positions and graduate assistantships became available, she thought of international students from the Global Awareness LLC who previously helped her organize events. She also wrote reference letters for those students when they applied to graduate school.Robert C．Demezzo, director of residence life at Southern Connecticut State University, says LLCS "help many intermational students secure employment on campus.Solaja says her year living in Waterloo's Arts and Business LLC was one of her best decisions." You get what you put into the program," she says.8．What impressed Solaja most in the LLC?A．A group of students in the LLC rented a car to travel togetherB．She got a reference letter when she applied to graduate school.C．The peer leaders shared their experience both in study and daily lifeD．They celebrate the Chinese New Year together with an assistant professor9．Who are more likely to get Job opportunities?A．Students who have participated in more on-campus events.B．Students with better language skills especially in Chinese.C．Students who have global awareness and interest in network.D．Students with more working experience through LLCs.10．Which of the following statements is FALSE?A．Various activities help international students get oriented to the new lifeB．Individuals with similar minds will have the same career prospect.C．Each LLC focuses on a particular theme or academic interest area,D．LLCS Provide opportunities of communicating with domestic students11．Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?A．The teachers in Nigeria seldom participate in off-campus activitiesB．Many overseas students are not accustomed to the winter in CanadaC．The campus staff offer international students some academic support.D．LLCS help many international students find jobs after graduationDSince the Second World War, there has been an obvious trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, ''go steady'' through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying heads over the ways of rebellious youth. However, emotional maturity does not grow with age; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. However, any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves one'sproblems; more often, it merely worsens them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say that they are abandoning one idol only to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate good, but they themselves are wrong in believing that they have found the true center of life's meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially unrealistic and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment (幻想破灭) is often bound to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically practicable, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.12．From Para. 1 we can learn that .A．emotional maturity automatically grow with ageB．some old people disapprove of early marriageC．growing group of college students are against early marriageD．the emotional expectations of young lovers are too high13．The author's attitude to marriage as an escape is .A．negative B．unsureC．indifferent D．acceptable14．It can be implied from the last paragraph that .A．early marriages should not be encouragedB．later marriages are always better than early marriagesC．each marriage should be looked at differentlyD．young people can benefit a lot from early marriage15．What's the best title of the passage?A．Disillusionment in Marriage B．Expectations for MarriageC．Marriages and Emotional Maturity D．The Trend of Early Marriages第二节微.博橙.子辅导（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。

At the Snowdonia Centre, the beginners’ costs of ￡57 do n ot cover ___________.A. foodB. roomsC. body exercisesD. walking shoesBOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest （卑微的）to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty c hair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concer ned that he might have no money and not be able to afford so mething to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he ac cepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished h im well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my fr iends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs. ” I could hardly believe it. I was buying, off ering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s ri chest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.4. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A. Unfriendly.B. Untidy.C. Gentle.D. Kind.5. The author bought coffee for the old man becauseA. he thought the old man was poorB. he wanted to start a conversationC. he intended to show his politenessD. he would like t o thank the old man6.

It is honorable to help those in need.C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.CRubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each pers on produces about two kilograms of rubbish in our homes a d ay. And this is only a small part of all the rubbish we produce. We also create waste in industry.Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish? Most of it i s buried in landfills (垃圾填埋地) or burned. Less than 25% of our waste is recycled.A landfill is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of th e ground. Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrou nding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc).One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land spac e. If they are not well-built, there is a high risk of polluting the land and water. Some people also say that landfills remove materials for ever. As a result, the materials that can be reused are wasted.Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste. B urning reduces 95% of the waste. And if poisonous materials are removed, and burning is completed at controlled temperat ures, it is possible to do so without causing too much pollution . Some factories could even produce electricity from the burni ng process.Not all of the rubbish can be burned, so we have to separate i t before we burn it. However, separation costs a lot of money. Another problem with burning rubbish is that what is left after burning is poisonous. How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem.Before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main way to deal with waste. I n the late 20th century, other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution.Maybe in the near future, with combined efforts, scientists will find a better way to dispose rubbish and cut out waste, like re cycling things. But anyway, mountains of rubbish from life eve ry day is a huge burden for any country.8. What is the advantage of burying rubbish in landfills?A. Producing electricity.B. Reusing the materials buried in landfills.C. Reducing 95% of the waste.D. Cutting off rubbish from the surrounding environment.9. Paragraph 6 is mainly about _________.A. the separation of rubbishB. the problems with burning rubbishC. the safety of burning rubbishD. the cost of burn ing rubbish10. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. rubbish should be separated when it is burningB. landfills are too dangerous to be built too manyC. there’re advantages and disadvantages about burning rubb ishD. developed countries are better at dealing with rubbish11. After the last paragraph, what is the author likely to talk ab out next?A. Pollution.B. Landfills.C. Recycling.D. Environment.DIt cannot be denied that we all want to succeed, whether it is i n losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have trie d and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? I have mad e a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them. Identify your core valuesFinding your core values is in line with creating inner motivatio n. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of thi ngs and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your val ues every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.Pick a goal and focus on itChoose one goal to start something large enough that will giv e you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.If you perform a great many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.Set a deadline for successTo set a date or deadline for success is meaningful and neces sary. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it rea listic, while not giving you too much time. By setting a time lim it, you are making the process more real and planned.Stick to your goal.Failure can’t be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are ris king failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t f all into this trap! Remember your mindset （心态） earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you worki ng out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!In your lifetime, you have many opportunities to succeed. Whil e in the process you may encounter （遭遇） plenty of failures, but on condition that you stick to the fo ur habits above, you will be absolutely successful sooner or la ter.12. You would have a better chance to succeed if you ______ ___.A. reflect on your goal moreB. are more concentrated on a goalC. are more eager to succeedD. try your best to avoid f ailure13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. People are all eager to succeed in life.B. Realizing core values can make inner motivation.C. You are bound to succeed if you follow the four habits.D. failure is sometimes not a bad thing.14. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to ?A. detail.B. Failure.C. Goal.D. Success.15. The best title for the passage could be _________.A. Four Habits to Help You SucceedB. Make the right decisionC. Failure is the mother of successD.
