ALeaders shape history and here is a selection of the most remarkable views into these public figures plus first-hand accounts by those with access to them.Margaret Thatcher by Charles Moore (2013)Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher. Moore’s account is different. He shows that fa r from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause. The final volume will include her fall from power.Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992. The absence heightened a sense of mystery. Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilson’s final phase as prime minister in 1974.Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001)Jenkins writes a pol itician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchill’s historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons. Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did.Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014)Campbell calmly narrates the many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins’ intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford. Campbell also addresses Jenkins’ various affairs with women. Like Jenkins’s political heroes, he led many lives. Campbell is sharp in describing each of them.Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell (2017)Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, and not just because of hisunusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. This is an incredibly detailed book on what it’s like to live inside No. 10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media.21. Which of the following leaders has the largest number of books written about them?A. Harold Wilson.B. Churchill.C. Margaret Thatcher.D. Tony Blair.22. Which writer was once a politician?A. Ben Pimlott.B. Charles Moore.C. John Campbell.D. Roy Jenkins.23. What’s purpose of the author’s writing the passage?A. To introduce some histories on selections.B. To recommend some books on leaders.C. To tell some mysteries about historians.D. To think highly of some famous leaders.BLAS VEGAS— It was different in the light of day.There was no ‘pop, pop, pop’ of gunfire, no screams. Just a quiet lot of cars abandoned by those, like Kassidy Owen, who escaped with their lives.“It’s strange to hear the silence,” Owen said, “because all I remember was the noise.”The 22-year-old was one of dozens of concertgoers who returned to the scene of the Route 91 Harvest festival on Wednesday morning to fetch the vehicles they left behind as they fled from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino across the street.Survivors of the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday needed their cars to move on with their lives — to get back to work, to school, home. It was the first time they were returning to a scene that would forever change them, when joy and celebration and music turned into killing and horror.Before they could move forward, they had to go back to the place where they thought they were going to die.Owen had run to her car to hide and had tried to drive away, but she couldn’t. People were running, bodies dropped to the ground, and cars bottlenecked in the parking lot. During a brief pause after more than 10 minutes of gunfire, she worried the lights of her SUV made everyone inside a shining target.“They’re shooting again!” her best friend’s brother screamed. “‘Turn off the car!’”That’s when she got out and fled.“I just remember shutting the door and running,” Owen said.Now, ne arly three days later, she was back, sitting in the driver’s seat of her SUV. Her eyes were swollen and red. This was a long way from over.“You just keep hearing the gunshots in your head,” Owen said.24. Why did Kassidy Owen return to the scene of terror?A. To get back her car for daily life.B. To show sympathy to the victims.C. To search for her missing friends.D. To look into the cause of the shooting.25. Where was the gunman when the mass shooting happened?A. Behind a car.B. In the parking lot.C. On the stage.D. In a tall building.26. Why did Owen keep hearing the gunshots in her head?A. Because she had escaped being caught.B. Because she wanted to find the gunman.C. Because she couldn’t rid herself of those te rrible scenes.D. Because she had saved others’ lives by turning off the car.27. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A story book.B. A newspaper.C. A guide book.D. A research report.CCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt(沥青). It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma(哮喘)and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops — at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climat e change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”28. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint.C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.29. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?A. How to make the city cooler.B. Where to wear a white shirt.C. Why to coat the roads with black paint.D. When to cut off the electricity supply.30. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?A. Increasing the indoor activities.B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.C. Making life easier and more comfortable.D. Reducing the number of cold days.31. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat.B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.D. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.DEven for a certified teacher with a degree and teaching certificate from Florida, a certain embarrassment exists. The two words “English teacher” don’t clearly show who I am.Let me explain: When I go back to the US, I meet all my old friends. Some are stressed, exhausted and generally unhappy. They are stuck in jobs they don’t love that they do only to pay the bills. Even the ones making good money do n’t even have the time to spend it and enjoy themselves. If I were in the US and I was working as a teacher, accountant, lawyer or so on, then that would be my job more or less for the next 30 to 40 years. I might have other talents, but I would be limited in being able to explore them.In China the system is fluid for everyone: Chinese and expats(侨民). I know many friends, both Chinese and expats, who changed careers because they wanted something new and it didn’t require going back to university four more years. All it required was motivation and a calculated risk. One of the best things about living in China for me is that I can explore different career choices and actually find one that I truly love. Let’s face it people change over the years: Your likes, your abilities and even the things that make you happy are constantly changing. Why shouldn’t your jobs and the opportunities also change with you?When people ask me if I love my job, my answer is ‘YES.’ In China I have had many jobs: actor, model, sale sman and teacher at various stages during my seven years here. And no one told me “You can’t do that.” There was no self-limiting. In China, if you have the motivation to work hard and the drive to succeed then opportunities present themselves around every corner.32. Why the term “English teacher” couldn’t explain the author’s role in China clearly?A. Because he has taken many different jobs in China.B. Because he has no choice but to be an English teacher.C. Because the purpose of his teaching is to make good money.D. Because there’re too many jobs for him to choose from.33. Why are some of the author’s old friends generally unhappy?A. Because they have no chance to work in China as teachers.B. Because it’s even harder for th em to earn money in the US now.C. Because they have no ability to explore their other talents.D. Because they can’t get away from the work they don’t enjoy.34. What does the underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Strict.B. Fixed.C. Changeable.D. Exciting.35. What does the author think of China?A. A country without motivations.B. A land of opportunity.C. A nation full of foreigners.D. A place short of jobs.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。

Other days of the week she would spend two hours on three buses from her apartment to get to the other work, for a four-hour round trip.That was the "before " part of her life. The "after " part of her life was started by the community Police Officer Trevor Arnold, who delivered a used car to her with the help of a car dealer and other donors.Arnold, who spotted Meade, red and sweaty, riding her bike in the worst heat this summer, decided he would get her a car. He intended to quietly buy her a used car out of his own pocket, so he turned to his friend Kody Slaght, a car salesman, to ask about a car priced $1,000. That wasn’t enough for a reliable ride, Slaght said, but the dealership said they would find a good car for her at a good price. Soon others were donating. Slaght and Arnold wouldn’t say how much the car cost, but the value is about $4,000.Arnold said he was motivated by Meade’s work ethic (职业道德) to help. "I see a lot of hardworking people but that’s when they are at work. Can you imagine spending four hours of your day getting to and from work?" he said.Meade’s boss said she was awesome and really reliable when she worked and she got along with others. "She’s willing to ride the three buses to get here on her day off if we need her to."Meade was planning to buy a car, but she has n’t been able to afford it. "Trevor, he is a very good guy. I did not expect this." Meade said.24. Which of the following best describes Jo Meade’s work? A. Boring. B. Exhausting. C. Permanent. D. Demanding. 25. Why did Slaght disagree to buy a car priced $1,000? A. The car was too expensive for Meade. B. The car was beyond Arnold’s affordability. C. The car had been donated to another person. D. The car was not in good condition of driving. 26. What inspired Arnold to buy a car for Meade? A. Arnold’s sympathy to Meade. B. Arnold’s duty as a policeman. C. Meade’s commitment to work. D. Meade’s desire for a better life. 27. What can we infer about Meade’s opinion on the donated car? A. Picky. B. Surprised. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.CRow after row they marched — thousands of larger-than-life figures frozen in clay, a phalanx(方阵) of officials defend ing the tomb of China’s first emperor. Silently they guarded beneath the soil for 2,200 years, until a farmer digging a well in 1974 found broken piece s of unparalleled significance near China’s early capital city, Xianyang.Now those fierce warriors have reached the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts(VMFA) to tell their extraordinary story. The exhibition will be on display at VMFA from Saturday, November 18, 2017 through March 11, 2018 before traveling to the Cincinnati Art Museum. Ten of the clay figures will stand with a total of 130 objects from 14 museums and archaeological institutes in China’s Shaanxi P rovince, where the current city of Xi’an is located. Forty of the objects have never left China before. Beyond the life-size clay figures, the exhibit brings perspective with objects that range from bronze spearheads found in the emperor’s tomb to a small gold tiger that pre -dated英语试题第3页(共8页)英语试题第4页(共8页)him by more than 250 years.The fascination draws lots of visitors wherever the terracotta figures have traveled. The National Geographic Museum in Washington had a record-setting 280,000 people at its four-month exhibit of 15 figures in 2009—2010. Chicago’s Field Museum attracted 460,000 to its 10-month exhibit that ended in January.At the same time with the VMFA exhibit, Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute will have a terracotta warriors exhibit that focuses on the science and technology that went into their creation. VMFA focuses on why they were created and how they fit into China’s long sweep of history. Ea ch institution has 10 life-size terracotta figures on display, giving an unprecedented(空前的) opportunity to study them in depth.The VMFA exhibition is divided into three sections. The first one introduces the emperor; the second puts him in context with artifacts from the warring states; the third shows his journey into the afterlife.28. According to Paragraph 2, some of the items on display .A. have not gone abroadB. have just been discoveredC. are from museums all over ChinaD. were earlier than China’s first emperor29. How many American cities will hold the exhibition of terracotta warriors?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.30. How do Americans think of terracotta warriors?A. Attractive.B. Aggressive.C. Professional.D. Conservative.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Terracotta Warriors of ChinaB. The Exhibit of China’s First EmperorC. Terracotta Warriors Exhibits in the USD. New Discoveries in Terracotta WarriorsDGenealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the footmarks of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several impetuses, including the desire to carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.In communitarian societies, one’s identity is established as much by one’s kin network a s by individual achievement, and the question "Who are you?"would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zealand Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(继承) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失).32. Which of the following is connected with genealogy?A. The DNA tests.B. Historical novels.C. Political positions.D. Education standards.33. What is the meaning of the underlined word "impetuses"in Paragraph 2?A. Results.B. Drives.C. Categories.D. Exploitations.34. Why do Māori study genealogies?A. To get achievements.B. To learn their origins.C. To change their identities.D. To create their kin network.35. What do we know about genealogy from Paragraph 4?A. DAR is a genealogy organization.B. Organizations have their genealogy.C. Australia is a pioneer in genealogy.D. Genealogy inspires the love for nation.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。

ADon’t have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in non-fiction books,here are good choices for you.ARoomofOne’sOwnThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928.In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art.To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”.While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.TheArtofWarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,TheArtofWar is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy in human history.Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions.For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.LettertoMyDaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”— the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”.From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.ABriefHistoryofTimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,exploresmind-bending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how.Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.21.What can we learn about the four books?A.ABriefHistoryofTime mainly focuses on the matter of the earth.B.LettertoMyDaughter is actually a common family letter.C.TheArtofWar gives definition of philosophy.D.ARoomofOne’sOwn is more than about writing.22.What can be inferred from the passage?A.As a physicist,Hawking is equally famous for writing.B.Maya devotes herself to fighting for women’s rights.C.The book by Sun Zi is helpful in policy-making.D.Woolf looks down upon men in writing.23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To make comparisons between the four books.B.To recommend the four books to readers.C.To make comments on the four books.D.To promote sales of the four books.BEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’ Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and make-up tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon,” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people’s homes,or small businesses such as O’ Hair’s,are becoming more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O’ Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,” said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folk-rock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.24.Why do musicians like house concerts?A.Because private homes are easier to get to.B.Because people pay more attention to their music.C.Because they can do other things while performing.D.Because they don’t have to bring their microphones.25.What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week’s performance?A.The small performance space.B.Her first show at a hair salon.C.Their interaction with the audience.D.The more relaxed atmosphere.26.How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.Musicians Struggle to Make a LivingB.People Really Get to Know the ArtistsC.Musicians Find New Places to PerformD.Concertgoers Won’t Go to Music ClubsC“Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that,my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an all-year program,I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go:Spain,the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary,I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it,since it was,after all,a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it,I was on the airplane,leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favorite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,thewarm-hearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters,I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive,to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands,suddenly,you become friends.28.How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?A.Excited and satisfied.B.Confused and shocked.C.Amazed and embarrassed.D.Delighted and interested.29.Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?A.He didn’t like Spain.B.He wanted to learn Hungarian.C.It was a rare chance.D.Going to Hungary was much cheaper.30.What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?A.He fell in love with eating carrots.B.He couldn’t wait to leave.C.He was surprised by the landscape.D.He quickly got used to the life there.31.According to Jonathan,the host family .A.changed him completelyB.taught him how to dance wellC.treated him as equally as a studentD.showed him the good things of lifeDSome pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic,according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study,published in the journal BiologyLetters,is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal,influencing judgment.Asher,a researcher at the University of Newcastle’s Institute of Neuroscience,and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft,deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks,the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this,we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans,which pigs find bitter-tasting,” a researcher said.Over a number of training trials,pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary,they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations,to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside,showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others,however,behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans,displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people,there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.32.What was the study trying to figure out?A.How to make pigs happier.B.The similarities between humans and pigs.C.How living environment affected pigs’ mood.D.How pigs’ mood and personality affected their judgment.33.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Simple.B.More comfortable.C.Unpractical.D.Less free.34.Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?A.The bowl with chocolate sweets.B.The bowl containing coffee beans.C.The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D.The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.35.What do the findings of the new research imply?A.People should treat pigs equally.B.People’s health relies on meat quality.C.People should meet pigs’ various needs.D.People’s attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.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。

Home prices remained ________ in China during December, with some of the first﹣tier cities recording price drops, while second and third﹣tier cities saw increases due to the varied market policies, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.Newly built commercial housing prices in the first﹣tier cities ﹣ namelyBeijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen ﹣ remained stable in December, while those in second and third﹣ tier cities rose by 0.6 percent and 0.5 percent respectively from November 2017.The same trend was witnessed in second﹣hand home prices, which dropped slightly by 0.1 percent in first﹣tier cities and rose 0.3 percent in both second and third﹣tier cities in December, said Liu Jianwei, a senior statistician at the NBS.In September 2017, the local governments of several regional capitals launched new restrictions to further slow home sales, in response to the central government’s call to end housing speculation and cool the red﹣hot housing market in certain cities.As housing regulations in larger cities have tightened, investors have started looking for opportunities in medium﹣sized and small cities, thus causing a noticeable home price increase in third﹣tier cities.Fan Hengshan, deputy secretary﹣general of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at an economic forum on Thursday that housing prices in third and fourth ﹣tier cities have risen too fast, and this needs to be monitored carefully.“The home price increase in third﹣tier cities will have a fairly large impact, considering that a large part of China’s gross domestic product and population come from these cities, ” said Zhang Zhiwei, chief economist and head of equity strategy for China at Deutsche Bank, during a recent media briefing.Zhang estimated that third﹣tier cities accounted for a major part of Chinese resident s’ 50 trillion yuan wealth gains, driven by rising home prices in 2017.“Despite a relatively large increase in home prices in third﹣tier cities, studies have found that at the end of 2017, local residents in 85third﹣tier cities need to save four to eight years of their income to buy a home, meaning that house price to income ratios are not too high in these cities, ” he said.(1)What does the underlined word “divergent” in the first paragraph mean?________ A.Diverse.

Do you think you would work out more if you were offered money to do so? Science has shown that money can give people motivation to work out, but perhaps it is not in the way that you think.According to a study, the best strategy isn’t offering money;it’s giving someone money, then threatening to take it away.Researchers gave 281 people the goal of walking 7 000 steps every day over 13 weeks. To motivate the people who took part in the research to reach the goal, researchers divided them into three groups. People in the first group received﹩1.40 each day as long as they finished 7000 steps; the second group was only able to collect the﹩1.40 if they had reached 7000 steps the day before; and the third group was given﹩42 at the beginning of each month, and﹩1.40 was taken away every time when someone failed to meet the goal. The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the other two groups, showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losing money.“In addition, in most programs, many participants will drop out quickly and only the motivated will stay involved, ” Dr. Mitesh Patel, an assistant professor, said.“In ours, we were pleasantly surprised that 96 percent stayed, ” he added.The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentives(奖励), but also how you think about them. This is important to how effective they are. The evidence could have a big effect on health promotion programs in thefuture, according to the study.“Incentives themselves are not all you need,” Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant, told The Wall Street Journal.“It’s really im portant to change the incentive design and keep people on their toes.”(1)According to the passage, why did the third group do better than the other two groups?________A.Because they were satisfied with being paid immediately.B.Because they were given money at first while the others were not.C.Because they were able to get more money than the other two groups.D.Because they did not want the money they had gained to be taken away.(2)By mentioning other similar programs, Dr. Mitesh Patel intended to________.A.stress that they didn’t expect the result.B.prove that their program was more successful.C.make a further comparison between these programs.D.show that motivation mattered more in other programs.(3)What can we infer from Stephanie Pronk’s words?________A.Incentives are of little importance in the process of getting fit.B.There are many ways to get people to feel motivated to work out more.C.The way of using incentives is influential to fitness participation.D.People should keep fit actively instead of being motivated by incentives.(4)What can be the suitable title for the text?________A.People Like Fitness .B.Incentives Are Useful.C.“Losing Money” Promotes Fitness .D.Money Matters Most.【答案】DBCC【考点】阅读理解综合完形综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了科学已经证明,金钱可以给人们锻炼的动力,但也许不是你想的那样.【解答】(1)D.细节理解题.根据文章The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the other two groups, showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losing money可知第三组比其他两组做得更好因为他们不想把他们得到的钱拿走;故选D.(2)B.推理判断题.根据文章The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentives(奖励), but also how you think about them可知Mitesh Patel 博士通过提到其他类似的项目,打算证明他们的方案更成功;故选B.(3)C.句意理解题.根据文章Incentives themselves are not all you need," Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant, told The Wall Street Journal可知从斯蒂芬妮•普龙克的话可以推断出使用激励的方式对健身参与有影响;故选C.(4)C.推理判断题.根据文章Incentives themselves are not all you need," Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant, told The Wall Street Journal可知文章的合适标题是赔钱"促进健身;故选C.4.

But they could not get him down.Wilson had an idea. He climbed up a tall, nearby structure and then climbed across the lift’s guide w ire to reach his friend. He used a knife to cut the backpack strap that was caught. His friend fell a little over three meters into the snow, where rescue workers helped ________him. They brought him down the mountain and took him to a hospital. Wilson told a Denver newspaper it was one of the most frightening things he had ever seen. Wilson said he was confident he could help his friend because of his experience as acompetitive slackliner.

After more than a decade of research, he and his team are now presenting their discoveries to the world.Heracleion was founded around the 8th century B.C.(800﹣700B.C). Because Heracleion was located at the mouth of the Nile River, it was an important economic and trading centre.(1)_______.“It was the major international trading port for Egypt at this time,” says Damian Robinson. He is the director of the Centre for Maritime Archaeology at the University of Oxford and working with Goddio’s team.(2)_______. This, as well as a rising ocean and possibly even earthquakes,eventually caused the city to sink around 100A.D.The underwater site has proved rich in historical artifacts(人工制品).(3)_______.“The archaeological evidence is simply amazing,” says Oxford University archaeologist Sir Barry Cunliffe." By lying untouched and protected by sand on the seafloor for centuries,the artifacts are brilliantly preserved."(4)_______. They have also found miniature Egyptian coffins that may have held animal mummies! Additionally, the remains of 64 ancient ships and more than 700 anchors lay buried in the sand around the ruins of the city.But Goddio and his team have barely scratched the surface of He racleion’s remains. "(5)_______." says Goddio." We will probably have to continue working for the next 200 years for it to be fully revealed and understood."A. The Greeks called it Heracleion.B. We are just at the beginning of our research.C. All trade from nearby Greece had to pass through Heracleion.D. For many years, historians were not sure if this city ever existed.E. But the ground on which Heracleion was built wore away over many centuries.F. The researchers have uncovered numerous 15﹣foot﹣tall statues as well as hundreds of smaller artifacts.G. In fact,because the city sank to the bottom of the ocean, many ancient pieces have remained undisturbed.【答案】C,E,G,F,B【考点】七选五阅读【解析】考古学家Franck Goddio在地中海海浪下发现了一座失落很久的埃及城市埃拉克利翁的遗骸.经过十多年的研究,他和他的团队现在向世界展示了他们的发现.【解答】(1) C.考查上下文联系.根据下一句:It was the major international trading port for Egypt at this time,当时是埃及的主要国际贸易港,所以前文是选项C:所有来自希腊附近的贸易都必须通过这里,符合逻辑.(2) E.信息匹配题.根据后文句子的信息as well as a rising ocean and possibly even earthquakes, eventually caused the city to sink around 100A.D.是上升的海洋,甚至可能是地震,最终导致这个城市沉没在100A左右.可见E选项地面消失的信息相匹配.(3) G.信息匹配题.根据下文句子:By lying untouched and protected by sand on the seafloor for centuries, the artifacts are brilliantly preserved.几百年来,由于海底没有被沙子所覆盖和保护,这些文物被保存得很好.与句子many ancient pieces have remained undisturbed许多古物未受干扰.信息匹配,所以答案选G.(4) F.考查上下文联系.根据下文信息They have also found miniature Egyptian coffins that may have held animal mummies.他们还发现了小型的埃及棺材.可见前文是说他们发现了什么,所以F选项符合逻辑关系.故选F.(5) B.考查上下文联系.根据下文句子:We will probably have to continue workingfor the next 200 years for it to be fully revealed and understood.我们可能要在接下来的200年里继续工作,让它得到充分的揭示和理解.可见现在的研究只是开始,所以答案选B.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45)第一节完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)6.

If you want a taste of something you have never tried before, come along on Saturday at 10 am and try out a spot of rock climbing on our 5﹣metre high rock wall. Great instructors and safety equipment were supplied at a low cost.

Home prices remained ________ in China during December, with some of the first﹣tier cities recording price drops, while second and third﹣tier cities saw increases due to the varied market policies, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.Newly built commercial housing prices in the first﹣tier cities ﹣ namelyBeijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen ﹣ remained stable in December, while those in second and third﹣ tier cities rose by 0.6 percent and 0.5 percent respectively from November 2017.The same trend was witnessed in second﹣hand home prices, which dropped slightly by 0.1 percent in first﹣tier cities and rose 0.3 percent in both second and third﹣tier cities in December, said Liu Jianwei, a senior statistician at the NBS.In September 2017, the local governments of several regional capitals launched new restrictions to further slow home sales, in response to the central government’s call to end housing speculation and cool the red﹣hot housing market in certain cities.As housing regulations in larger cities have tightened, investors have started looking for opportunities in medium﹣sized and small cities, thus causing a noticeable home price increase in third﹣tier cities.Fan Hengshan, deputy secretary﹣general of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at an economic forum on Thursday that housing prices in third and fourth ﹣tier cities have risen too fast, and this needs to be monitored carefully.“The home price increase in third﹣tier cities will have a fairly large impact, considering that a large part of China’s gross domestic product and population come from these cities, ” said Zhang Zhiwei, chief economist and head of equity strategy for China at Deutsche Bank, during a recent media briefing.Zhang estimated that third﹣tier cities accounted for a major part of Chinese resident s’ 50 trillion yuan wealth gains, driven by rising home prices in 2017.“Despite a relatively large increase in home prices in third﹣tier cities, studies have found that at the end of 2017, local residents in 85third﹣tier cities need to save four to eight years of their income to buy a home, meaning that house price to income ratios are not too high in these cities, ” he said.(1)What does the underlined word “divergent” in the first paragraph mean?________ A.Diverse.

Do you think you would work out more if you were offered money to do so? Science has shown that money can give people motivation to work out, but perhaps it is not in the way that you think.According to a study, the best strategy isn’t offering money;it’s giving someone money, then threatening to take it away.Researchers gave 281 people the goal of walking 7 000 steps every day over 13 weeks. To motivate the people who took part in the research to reach the goal, researchers divided them into three groups. People in the first group received﹩1.40 each day as long as they finished 7000 steps; the second group was only able to collect the﹩1.40 if they had reached 7000 steps the day before; and the third group was given﹩42 at the beginning of each month, and﹩1.40 was taken away every time when someone failed to meet the goal. The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the other two groups, showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losing money.“In addition, in most programs, many participants will drop out quickly and only the motivated will stay involved, ” Dr. Mitesh Patel, an assistant professor, said.“In ours, we were pleasantly surprised that 96 percent stayed, ” he added.The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentives(奖励), but also how you think about them. This is important to how effective they are. The evidence could have a big effect on health promotion programs in thefuture, according to the study.“Incentives themselves are not all you need,” Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant, told The Wall Street Journal.“It’s really im portant to change the incentive design and keep people on their toes.”(1)According to the passage, why did the third group do better than the other two groups?________A.Because they were satisfied with being paid immediately.B.Because they were given money at first while the others were not.C.Because they were able to get more money than the other two groups.D.Because they did not want the money they had gained to be taken away.(2)By mentioning other similar programs, Dr. Mitesh Patel intended to________.A.stress that they didn’t expect the result.B.prove that their program was more successful.C.make a further comparison between these programs.D.show that motivation mattered more in other programs.(3)What can we infer from Stephanie Pronk’s words?________A.Incentives are of little importance in the process of getting fit.B.There are many ways to get people to feel motivated to work out more.C.The way of using incentives is influential to fitness participation.D.People should keep fit actively instead of being motivated by incentives.(4)What can be the suitable title for the text?________A.People Like Fitness .B.Incentives Are Useful.C.“Losing Money” Promotes Fitness .D.Money Matters Most.【答案】DBCC【考点】阅读理解综合完形综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了科学已经证明,金钱可以给人们锻炼的动力,但也许不是你想的那样.【解答】(1)D.细节理解题.根据文章The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the other two groups, showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losing money可知第三组比其他两组做得更好因为他们不想把他们得到的钱拿走;故选D.(2)B.推理判断题.根据文章The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentives(奖励), but also how you think about them可知Mitesh Patel 博士通过提到其他类似的项目,打算证明他们的方案更成功;故选B.(3)C.句意理解题.根据文章Incentives themselves are not all you need," Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant, told The Wall Street Journal可知从斯蒂芬妮•普龙克的话可以推断出使用激励的方式对健身参与有影响;故选C.(4)C.推理判断题.根据文章Incentives themselves are not all you need," Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant, told The Wall Street Journal可知文章的合适标题是赔钱"促进健身;故选C.4.

After more than a decade of research, he and his team are now presenting their discoveries to the world.Heracleion was founded around the 8th century B.C.(800﹣700B.C). Because Heracleion was located at the mouth of the Nile River, it was an important economic and trading centre.(1)_______.“It was the major international trading port for Egypt at this time,” says Damian Robinson. He is the director of the Centre for Maritime Archaeology at the University of Oxford and working with Goddio’s team.(2)_______. This, as well as a rising ocean and possibly even earthquakes,eventually caused the city to sink around 100A.D.The underwater site has proved rich in historical artifacts(人工制品).(3)_______.“The archaeological evidence is simply amazing,” says Oxford University archaeologist Sir Barry Cunliffe."

These unpleasant marks of black spray paint ruin a sign identifying a local forest, and Erickson wants the graffiti gone. “It disheartened me that you could barely read it,” he says of the sign. Fortunately, Erickson had all the supplies he needed in the bed of his truck to clean the mess: paper towels, steel wool, rubber gloves, spray bottles of water, and graffiti remover. After 15 minutes of spraying, rubbing and cleaning, the sign was fresh and clean, as if new again. “I go by there every now and then and am so proud because it stands out in such a beautiful way,” he says. As you’ve probably guessed, that purifying pit stop wasn’t a one-off for Erickson, a semiretired real estate business owner. He has made it his mission to wipe out graffiti for the past 30 years. He started in El Paso, Texas, where he would paint over graffiti that would show up on properties he owned through his business, and he continued when he and his wife moved to Olympia in 2011. Erickson deals with roughly two graffiti sites a week on his own in addition to assisting city organizations with their efforts. “Anytime I can stop and spend a few minutes getting rid of something, I do it,” he says. One project Erickson has planned to deal with is the constant vandalism, the crime of damaging public property deliberately, of a home (which was once a grocery store) on a busy Olympia road. “I told them I’d paint the house all one color for free, and if they get any graffiti, I’ll have it covered by the end of the day,” he says. “Fighting graffiti is a small price to pay to live here. I go home content that I’ve changed the look of a beautiful town.” 21. What’s the passage mainly about? A. A man single-handedly keeping his town beautiful.B. A painter fighting against crimes in his town. C. An artist who paints his town beautiful. D. A businessman owning a real estate. 22. What can be inferred about the man from the passage? A. The man is out of work. B. The man has a bed in his truck. C. The man has planned to paint a house on a busy Olympia road. D. The man is well-prepared to wipe out graffiti. 23. What does the underlined word “graffiti” according to the text? A. Beautiful pictures on the wall.B. Unpleasant marks like drawings or writing on a wall in a public place. C. A kind of fierce insects which can ruin buildings. D. A new form of art to beautify the streets. B Womensfest 2017 Womensfest is back and better than ever!
