I decided to take a walk even though I didn't know where I would go. The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes.I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, "Grandfather, may I polish your shoes?" That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, "I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform." The old man answered, "Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform."Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said, "Thank you so much for doing this." Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. He walked away from the market, but I stopped him.I whispered in his ear, "You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!" As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing!My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for.4.

To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug,FDA (Food and Drug Administration) can require proof(证明) under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health,FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封) of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the devices on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually. Before buying,it is up to judge the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.8.It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are ________. A.optimistic B.costly C.unreliable D.illegal9.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?________A.The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.B.New products are more likely to be questionable.C.The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D.The promoters usually just care about profits.10.The Relaxacisor is mentioned as ________.A.a product which was designed to produce electricityB.a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC.a successful advertisement of a beauty productD.an example of a quality beauty product11.The author intends to ________.A.make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promisesB.show the weakness of the law on product safetyC.give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD.introduce the organization of FDADDriverless technology will soon enter another major global industry: shipping. Several companies recently announced plans to launch self-sailing ships to improve safety and efficiency.One of them is Norwegian chemical company Yara International. Yara has designedto build an autonomous ship expected to launch next year. The ship is fully electricto reduce air pollution. It is designed to carry containers normally transported by truck. This means the ship will also improve road safety by replacing about 40,000 truck trips a year.Yara plans to operate the ships by remote control beginning sometime next year.By 2020, the ships should be loading and sailing themselves. Another company focusingon self-sailing sh ips is the world’s largest mining company, Australia’s BHP Billiton. The company’s Vice President of Freight, Rashpal Bhatti, recently spoke about the technology. He said, “I believe automation will be one of the biggest changes for shipping in the future.” Autonomous ships offer important chances to improve safety and provide better efficiency outcomes to the marine supply chain.”He added that self-sailing ships could become a reality within the next decade.Rolls-Royce, the British automobile and engine manufacturer, is also developing unmanned shipping technologies. Oskar Levander is the company’s head of marine operations. He told a conference last year, “This is happening. It’s not if, it’s when.”Several shipping companies have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to developself-sailing ships expected to be used by 2025. These ships will be equipped with technology to collect weather and sea data. They will then use the data to plan outthe safest, shortest and most fuel-efficient route.12. What advantages does the driverless ship have according to the passage?_____A. Environmental friendly.B. Without noise.C. Low cost.D. Having stronger ship body.13. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A. Australia’s BHP Billiton is the world’s largest ship company._______B. The ships will work almost automatically by 2020.C. Bhatti isn’t sure of the future of driverless ship.D. Self-sailing ships will be used in a couple of years.14. What attitude does Oskar Levander have to the new driverless ship?________A. Unsure.B. Doubtful.C. Sure.D. Objective.15. Where is probably the passage taken from?______A. A physics textbook.B. A travel booklet.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.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。

It is suitable for swimming and bathing. Therefore, the Red Sea attracts lots of tourists.However, why is the Red Sea believed to be called the Red Sea? There is a variety of reasons. One popular eplanation is due to the fact that it is so close to the Egyptian desert, which was once called the Dashret, meaning “red land” by ancient Egyptia ns. It would have been nown as the sea of the red land.Modern scholars believe that a liely eplanation of the name comes from the fact that some Asiatic languages use colors to refer to directions. It is liely that “red” refers to “south”, which is the direction that the Red Sea points to. This theory is emphasied by the Blac Sea which points north and it is said that blac was once a word for north. There is also Yellow Sea and White Sea.The origin of the name of the sea is not eactly nown as the sea water is not red in color. Its water is mainly blue. However, in some of the most beautiful places on the Red Sea, the water appears red.The Red Sea is surrounded by reddish mineral-rich mountains. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate (蒸发)quicly, which means the remaining water has a high salt content, so the Red Sea is also called the Salt Sea. These conditions are suitable for a type of algae(海藻)to grow. The algae are red in color, and since there are so many of them, they mae the water in the Red Sea appear red.Besides, sandstorms from the Sahara Desert also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, maing it loo much redder. After a sandstorm, everything is coated with red sand, creatinga unique and beautiful scene.8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The Red SeaB. How the Red Sea FormedC.

White Sea points to the south.B. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate slowly.C. The algae are red in color and large in quantity, which maes the water in the-Red Sea appear red.D.

AGetting late for a meeting, “I need to run,” he said, as he put his coat over the sh oulder and rushed out of the house. As he drove away, she came running down the stairs two at a time. “Wait, wait,” she shouted, but he had already left.“He forgot to give me a goodbye kiss,” she said in a low, sad voice that shook under the weight of the hurt. She called him and said, “You left without giving me a kiss.” “I am sorry, sweetheart,” he said, his voice shaking. “It is okay,” she said, trying to be all grown-up as she cut the call.She ate her breakfast quickly, put on her shoes, picked up her school bag and started to walk out of the door. Her shoulders were slumped(耷拉) and her eyes were filled with tears. As she climbed down the steps, a car came to a stop outside the house. He got out of the car. She ran to him.“I am sorry I forgot,” he sai d, as he picked her up and hugged her. She said nothing. Her jaw ached from smiling.Fifteen years later, no one would remember he was late for a meeting, but a little girl would never forget that her father drove all the way back home just to kiss her goodbye!What is more important, work or family? Some parents always put work before everything. But some put family first. Remember, the company will run the same without you and your colleagues(同事) may forget you soon after you leave. But you are everything to your children.1.The girl ran down the stairs fast to ________.A.go to school on time B.go to a meeting on timeC.get a goodbye kiss D.say goodbye to her father2.How did the girl probably feel after she cut the call?A.Frightened. B.Disappointed. C.Worried. D.Angry.3.The passage is meant to suggest that parents ________.A.put their children firstB.pay less attention to workC.work hard to support the familyD.keep a balance between work and familyBAccording to a new US study,couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva,from Princeton University,found that,while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage,men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco,she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study,a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over50s for the last decade,she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister,while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”“This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK,the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities,a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.But many are doing so at the risk of their health.

She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling.

From her end of the conversation, I could tell rightaway her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone.

I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.

So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get outof my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose.

I was frustrated by everything that was going on around me.I was mad and confused about everyone especially when I saw a young girl walking through the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to when I was young. I was jealous of the little girl, because she had something I didn’t have anymore — a grandmother by her side.I had to force myself to ignore the little girl. She was just too happy for me and that was unacceptable at that time in my world.I went to the cash register to pay for my things. It was then that my anger quickly shifted from the little girl to the cashier. She took my things toanother register. When the cashier gave me my change I didn’t say thank you. I simply took my change and left.Feeling tired and hopeless, I began walking to my car. As I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that passed on? Why didn’t I feel her presence anymore?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. “No, excuse me,” she said again.Then I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. She reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like that you need this,” she said calmly with a smile on her face.I looked down at the used booklet and there were some big bold letters on the front cover reading, “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?” By the time I looked up she had gone.I felt a sense of relaxation as I read the first page. It explained how people pass on and that their spirit remains with us. It was the first time since my grandmother passed away that I had felt her with me. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I knew that I finally felt happiness from a stranger.4.

The author felt angry.CThe Red Sea is an arm of the Indian Ocean that separates the Arabian Peninsula(半岛)from northeastern Africa. The water of the Red Sea is clear, transparent and warm. It is suitable for swimming and bathing. Therefore, the Red Sea attracts lots of tourists.However, why is the Red Sea believed to be called the Red Sea? There is a variety of reasons. One popular explanation is due to the fact that it is so close to the Egyptian desert, which was once called the Dashret, meaning “red land” by ancient Egyptians. It would have been known as the sea of the red land.Modern Asiatic languages use colors to refer to directions. It is lik ely that “red” refers to “south”,which is the direction that the Red Sea points to. This theory is emphasized by the Black Sea which points north and it is said that black was once a word for north. There is also Yellow Sea and White Sea.The origin of the name of the sea is not exactly known as the sea water is not red in color. Its water is mainly blue. However, in some of the most beautiful places on the Red Sea, the water appears red.The Red Sea is surrounded by reddish mineral-rich mountains. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate (蒸发)quickly, which means the remaining water has a high salt content, so the Red Sea is also called the Salt Sea. These conditions are suitable for a type of algae(海藻)to grow. The algae are red in color, and since there are so many of them, they make the water in the Red Sea appear red.Besides, sandstorms from the Sahara Desert also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, making it look much redder. After a sandstorm, everything is coated with red sand, creating a unique and beautiful scene.8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The Red SeaB. How the Red Sea FormedC. The history of the Red SeaD. Why is the Red Sea Red?9. which of the following colors probably refers to north according to the passage?A. Black.B. Yellow.C. White.D. Red.10. The Red Sea is surrounded by ________.A. valleys.B. mountains.C. the Sahara Desert.D. Sandstorms.11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. White Sea points to the south.B. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate slowly.C. The algae are red in color and large in quantity, which makes the waterin the-Red Sea appear red.D. Sandstorms from Asia also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and thesurrounding areas, making it look much redder.DDriverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.th over 67 percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars. About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars. Meanwhile, around 47 percent were supportive of unmanned vehicle road tests in the country.

AGood evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Roy, and this is my show. This is a television show for all families, and I know you'll enjoy it.Let's start with a story.Once there was a proud pig on a farm. He thought he was the most important of all the animals on the farm. But it was not enough that he himself thought this. He had to be sure that other animals thought it, too. So he went up to a chicken and asked,"Who is the most important animal on the farm?" The chicken answered, " You are, Mr Pig." Then he asked a dog, and he got the same reply.Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertain of the right answer, the pig looked angry, and showed his teeth." Oh, you are, of course, Mr Pig," said the cow. " Of course," the pig said, " there is no doubt about it."At last the pig asked a big horse the same question. The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over and placed his foot on the pig's head. "I think you know the answer now," said the horse.1.The Roy show is _____.A. a family show on TVB. for kids onlyC. a sports showD. a style show2.When the pig asked a dog, the dog _____.A. said nothingB. said the pig was the most importantC. laughed a lotD. said the pig was as important as the horse3.The horse thought _____ was the most important on the farm.A.nobodyB. the pigC. the cowD. he himself4.What's the best title of this passage?A. A Pig and a CowB. A FarmC. The Most Important AnimalD. The AnimalsBThere were once two brothers who lived on the 80th floor. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay(沮丧)that the lifts were not working and they had to climb the stairs to get home. After struggling to the 20th floor, panting and tired, they decided to abandon(放弃)their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags and climbed on.When they struggled to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to grumble(抱怨)and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.They then realized that they had only 20 more floors to climb, and they decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at last. Each stood calmly and waited for the other to open the door. They then realized that the key was in one of their bags, which were left on the 20th floor.This story is a reflection(折射)on our lives. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young. We seldom get to do the things that we really love. By the age of 20, we are under so much pressure and stress that we get tired and decide to dump this load(负荷).Freed from this load, we work enthusiastically(激情地)and have ambitious (有抱负的)dreams. But by the time we reach 40, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live miserable lives, as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left to complain about, and we begin to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only the realization that we cannot rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream 一a dream we abandoned many years ago.5. Where did the two brothers leave their bags?A. On the first floor.B. On the 20th floor.C. On the 40th floor.D. On the 60th floor.6. The two brothers quarreled ________.A. from the 20th floor to the 40th floorB. from the 40th floor to the 60th floorC. from the 60th floor to the 80th floorD. from the first floor to the 80th floor7. In the passage, the author compared our ages to ________.A. floorsB. liftsC. stepsD. bags8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Don’t Lose Your WayB. Always Take Your KeyC. Don’t Abandon Your DreamD. Hard Work Leads to SuccessCWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern(样式).You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says s cientist Andrew Zolli ,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?9. We can learn from the text that in the future__________.A . people will never get old B. everyone will look the sameC. clothes will be able to change their patternD. red will be the most popular color10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Milk will be harmful to health.B. More drinks will be given for sale.C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.D. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.11. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A. Nothing can replace the Internet.B. Fridges will know what people need.C. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.D. Cars will be able to drive automatically(自动地).12. What is the text mainly about?A. Food and clothing in 2035B. Future technology in everyday life.C. Medical treatments of the future.D. The reason for the success of new technology.DShopping in the United States changes a lot.About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family.Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s, to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week.Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born.In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores.The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall.A shopping mall is groups of stores under one roof.Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular.The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping.If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee.Malls are places for teenagers to hang out.Many teens will often just “go to the mall” and spend time with their friends.The recent change in American shopping was the superstore.Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys“R”Us have been built all across the United States.Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smallerstores.Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close.They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors.And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States.People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet.Online shopping has lots of advantages.For example, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day.Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores.While, online shopping also has its disadvantages.People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the businessman than in a physical store.And privacy(私密) of personal information may be let out.13. Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?①. Small stores ②. Superstores ③. Shopping malls④. Shopping online ⑤. SupermarketsA. ①②③④⑤B.①⑤②③④C.②③④①⑤D.①⑤③②④14.Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?A. Small storesB. Shopping mallsC. Supermarkets.D. Superstores.15. What’s the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?A. Wasting time.B.No chance to do physical activities.C. Making personal information known to others.D.

AGetting late for a meeting, “I need to run,” he said, as he put his coat over the shoulder and rushed out of the house. As he drove away, she came running down the stairs two at a time. “Wait, wait,” she shouted, but he had already left.“He forgot to give me a goodbye kiss,” she said in a low, sad voice that shook under the weight of the hurt. She called him and said, “You left without giving me a kiss.” “I am sorry, sweetheart,” he said, his voice shaking. “It is okay,” she said, trying to be all grown-up as she cut the call.She ate her breakfast quickly, put on her shoes, picked up her school bag and started to walk out of the door. Her shoulders were slumped(耷拉) and her eyes were filled with tears. As she climbed down the steps, a car came to a stop outside the house. He got out of the car. She ran to him.“I am sorry I forgot,” he said, as he picked her up and hugged her. She said nothing. Her jaw ached from smiling.Fifteen years later, no one would remember he was late for a meeting, but a little girl would never forget that her father drove all the way back home just to kiss her goodbye!What is more important, work or family? Some parents always put work before everything. But some put family first. Remember, the company will run the same without you and your colleagues(同事) may forget you soon after you leave. But you are everything to your children.1.The girl ran down the stairs fast to ________.A. go to school on time B. go to a meeting on timeC. get a goodbye kiss D. say goodbye to her father2.How did the girl probably feel after she cut the call?A. Frightened. B. Disappointed. C. Worried. D. Angry.3.The passage is meant to suggest that parents ________.A.put their children firstB. pay less attention to workC. work hard to support the familyD. keep a balance between work and familyBAccording to a new US study,couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva,from Princeton University,found that,while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage,men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco,she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study,a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over50s for the last decade,she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Sons redu ce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister,while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”“This suggest s that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK,the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities,a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.。

But by the time we reach 40, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live miserable lives, as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left to complain about, and we begin to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only the realization that we cannot rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream 一a dream we abandoned many years ago.5.

In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’r e not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern(样式).You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go.

I was frustrated by everything that was going on around me.I was mad and confused about everyone especially when I saw a young girl walking through the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to when I was young. I was jealous of the little girl, because she had something I didn’t have anymore — a grandmother by her side.I had to force myself to ignore the little girl. She was just too happy for meand that was unacceptable at that time in my world.I went to the cash register to pay for my things. It was then that my anger quickly shifted from the little girl to the cashier. She took my things to another register. When the cashier gave me my change I didn’t say thank you. I simply took my change and left.Feeling tired and hopeless, I began walking to my car. As I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that passed on? Why didn’t I feel her presence anymore?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loud ly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. “No, excuse me,” she said again.Then I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. She reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like that you need this,” she said calmly with a smile on her face.I looked down at the used booklet and there were some big bold letters on the front cover reading, “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?” By the time I looked up she had gone.I felt a sense of relaxation as I read the first page. It explained how people pass on and that their spirit remains with us. It was the first time since my grandmother passed away that I had felt her with me. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I knew that I finally felt happiness from a stranger.4.

It is suitable for swimming and bathing. Therefore, the Red Sea attracts lots of tourists.However, why is the Red Sea believed to be called the Red Sea? There is a variety of reasons. One popular explanation is due to the fact that it is so close to the Egyptian desert, which was once called the Dashret, meanin g “red land” by ancient Egyptians. It would have been known as the sea of the red land.Modern scholars believe that a likely explanation of the name comes from the fact that some Asiatic languages use colors to refer to directions. It is lik ely that “red” refers to “south”, which is the direction that the Red Sea points to. This theory is emphasized by the Black Sea which points north and it is said that black was once a word for north. There is also Yellow Sea and White Sea.The origin of the name of the sea is not exactly known as the sea water is not red in color. Its water is mainly blue. However, in some of the most beautiful places on the Red Sea, the water appears red.The Red Sea is surrounded by reddish mineral-rich mountains. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate (蒸发)quickly, which means the remaining water has a high salt content, so the Red Sea is also called the Salt Sea. These conditions are suitable for a type of algae(海藻)to grow. The algae are red in color, and since there are so many of them, they make the water in the Red Sea appear red.Besides, sandstorms from the Sahara Desert also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, making it look much redder. After a sandstorm,everything is coated with red sand, creating a unique and beautiful scene.8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The Red SeaB. How the Red Sea FormedC. The history of the Red SeaD. Why is the Red Sea Red?9. which of the following colors probably refers to north according to the passage?A. Black.B. Yellow.C. White.D. Red.10. The Red Sea is surrounded by ________.A. valleys.B. mountains.C. the Sahara Desert.D. Sandstorms.11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. White Sea points to the south.B. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate slowly.C. The algae are red in color and large in quantity, which makes the water inthe-Red Sea appear red.D. Sandstorms from Asia also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and thesurrounding areas, making it look much redder.DDriverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.Based on the responses of 625 questionnaires made by Fudan University’s National Center for Cultural Innovation Research and the communication and data science laboratory, the report states that nearly 90 percent of the respondents are familiar with driverless cars, wi th over 67 percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars.

AGood evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Roy, and this is my show. This is a television show for all families, and I know you'll enjoy it.Let's start with a story.Once there was a proud pig on a farm. He thought he was the most important ofall the animals on the farm. But it was not enough that he himself thought this. He had to be sure that other animals thought it, too. So he went up to a chicken and asked,Who is the most important animal on the farm? The chicken answered, You are, Mr Pig. Then he asked a dog, and he got the same reply.Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertain of the right answer, the pig looked angry, and showed his teeth. Oh, you are, of course, Mr Pig, said the cow. Of course, the pig said, there is no doubt about it.At last the pig asked a big horse the same question. The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over and placed his foot on the pig's head. I think you know the answer now, said the horse.1.The Roy show is _____.A. a family show on TVB. for kids onlyC. a sports showD. a style show2.When the pig asked a dog, the dog _____.A. said nothingB. said the pig was the most importantC. laughed a lotD. said the pig was as important as the horse3.The horse thought _____ was the most important on the farm.A.nobodyB. the pigC. the cowD. he himself4.What's the best title of this passage?A. A Pig and a CowB. A FarmC. The Most Important AnimalD. The AnimalsBThere were once two brothers who lived on the 80th floor. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay(沮丧)that the lifts were not working and they had to climb the stairs to get home. After struggling to the 20th floor, panting and tired, they decided to abandon(放弃) their bags and come back for them the next day. They - 1 -left their bags and climbed on.When they struggled to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to grumble(抱怨)and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the steps,quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.They then realized that they had only 20 more floors to climb, and they decidedto stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at last. Each stood calmly and waited for the other to open the door. They then realized that the key was in one of their bags, which were left on the 20th floor. This story is a reflection(折射)on our lives. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young. We seldom get to do the things that we really love. By the age of 20, we are under so much pressure and stress that we get tired and decide to dump this load(负荷).Freed from this load, we work enthusiastically(激情地) and have ambitious (有抱负的)dreams.

For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.,today is speech day ,and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But he’s, nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…”Chris trips on the“-ld,”a. pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher ,Thomas Whaley ,is next to him, whispering support.“…Vote for …me…”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion ,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year,when called upon to read,Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains,“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language,to feel confident enough to say,‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’”Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves.“Boasting about yourself,and your best qualities,” Whaley says,“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”4.

It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town, ” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses. ”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-by as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.8. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?A. It made room for new equipment.B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.C. It was done with the help of the audience.D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.9. Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A.

It will be repaired.B. It will be turned into a museum.C. It will be knocked down.D. It will be sold to the city government.11. What can we infer about the audience?A. They are disappointed with Bradford.B. They are sad to part with the old theater.C. They are supportive of the city officials.D. They are eager to have a shopping center.DAlice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13,her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth,instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, "Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?" With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.

I was frustrated by everything that was going on around me.I was mad and confused about everyone especially when I saw a young girl walking through the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to when I was young. I was jealous of the little girl, because she had something I didn’t have anymore — a grandmother by her side.I had to force myself to ignore the little girl. She was just too happy for meand that was unacceptable at that time in my world.I went to the cash register to pay for my things. It was then that my anger quickly shifted from the little girl to the cashier. She took my things to another register. When the cashier gave me my change I didn’t say thank you. I simply took my change and left.Feeling tired and hopeless, I began walking to my car. As I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that passed on? Why didn’t I feel her presence anymore?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loud ly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. “No, excuse me,” she said again.Then I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. She reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like that you need this,” she said calmly with a smile on her face.I looked down at the used booklet and there were some big bold letters on the front cover reading, “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?” By the time I looked up she had gone.I felt a sense of relaxation as I read the first page. It explained how people pass on and that their spirit remains with us. It was the first time since my grandmother passed away that I had felt her with me. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I knew that I finally felt happiness from a stranger.4.

It is suitable for swimming and bathing. Therefore, the Red Sea attracts lots of tourists.However, why is the Red Sea believed to be called the Red Sea? There is a variety of reasons. One popular explanation is due to the fact that it is so close to the Egyptian desert, which was once called the Dashret, meanin g “red land” by ancient Egyptians. It would have been known as the sea of the red land.Modern scholars believe that a likely explanation of the name comes from the fact that some Asiatic languages use colors to refer to directions. It is lik ely that “red” refers to “south”, which is the direction that the Red Sea points to. This theory is emphasized by the Black Sea which points north and it is said that black was once a word for north. There is also Yellow Sea and White Sea.The origin of the name of the sea is not exactly known as the sea water is not red in color. Its water is mainly blue. However, in some of the most beautiful places on the Red Sea, the water appears red.The Red Sea is surrounded by reddish mineral-rich mountains. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate (蒸发)quickly, which means the remaining water has a high salt content, so the Red Sea is also called the Salt Sea. These conditions are suitable for a type of algae(海藻)to grow. The algae are red in color, and since there are so many of them, they make the water in the Red Sea appear red.Besides, sandstorms from the Sahara Desert also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, making it look much redder. After a sandstorm,everything is coated with red sand, creating a unique and beautiful scene.8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The Red SeaB. How the Red Sea FormedC. The history of the Red SeaD. Why is the Red Sea Red?9. which of the following colors probably refers to north according to the passage?A. Black.B. Yellow.C. White.D. Red.10. The Red Sea is surrounded by ________.A. valleys.B. mountains.C. the Sahara Desert.D. Sandstorms.11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. White Sea points to the south.B. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate slowly.C. The algae are red in color and large in quantity, which makes the water inthe-Red Sea appear red.D. Sandstorms from Asia also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and thesurrounding areas, making it look much redder.DDriverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.Based on the responses of 625 questionnaires made by Fudan University’s National Center for Cultural Innovation Research and the communication and data science laboratory, the report states that nearly 90 percent of the respondents are familiar with driverless cars, wi th over 67 percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars.

2018-2019学年黑龙江省齐齐哈尔第八中学高一9月月考英语试题第一部分:阅读理解(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、四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AIn every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people's lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场)Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "The crowd does it." Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it yourself. Learn to say, "No" Make your own judge. If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, please have the courage to leave them politely. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet.1 . The writer disagree to wear red sweaters if ___ .A. the crowd is wearing themB. you can't afford themC. you don't look good in redD. your parents disapprove2.The writer encourages the readers to ___.A. be independentB. take the advice of their eldersC. obey their parentsD. follow the crowd3.People who blindly follow the "top" crowd __ .A. sometimes do things against their better judgmentB. will lose friendsC. will make themselves happyD. finally become pace-setters (领跑者) in their own right4. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Follow the LeaderB. The "Top" Crowd.C. On Being Yourself.D. Rules for Teens.BMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.5.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A. Those who often take exercise.B. Those who often watch television.C. Those who often have meals at home.D. Those who often walk to school.6.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because___ .A.their parents often cook meals for themB. they are too busy to go out and playC. they can't choose what to eatD. there are too many fast food shops around7.The word "steer" underlined in the last sentence most probably means ___.A. forceB. guideC. divideD. cover8.The main purpose of the text is to ___.A. tell a storyB. provide factsC. give adviceD. compare opinions CNowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done for insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. "Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents," the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them upon one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to Money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men.A study by the website also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest, advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington, D. C, where their insurance costs are 16% lower."More than 11,900 male drivers died in US traffic accidents in 2009, comparedwith just under 4,900 women drivers" according to the study. "Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2. 5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, vs. 1.7 deaths for women. "9. According to the study, female drivers _____.A. are more aggressive while drivingB. are more interested in auto knowledgeC. are more likely to stick to driving lawsD. are more familiar with safety equipment10. Insurance companies focus on female driver clients probably because they_____.A. cause more accidents on the roadB. pay more money to the insurance companiesC. take the most part of the insurance clientsD. have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims11. The writer mainly develops paragraphs by_____.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. drawing a conclusionD. presenting an argumentDFor years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth's natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside, may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to dealwith it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building—green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant's leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.12. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because________.A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsC. the man-made building materials give off dangerous gases inside housesD. the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful13. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _____.A. every old houseB. every modern houseC. all kinds of housesD. all kinds of offices14. The indoor air pollution is caused by ____.A. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flowB. the building way that the builders want to save energyC. the building things that are made of man-made materialsD. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside15. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ____.A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB. plants may take in more oxygen which people needC. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthyD. plants can absorb different kinds of harmful indoor chemicals第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)阅读短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

After all, I was a teenage girl, and I could not bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motoristsprobably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there wereall sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something.“ I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had beenapologizing to a lamppost(街灯柱). This was just one of the stupid things thatconstantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was arequest stop, where the bus wouldn’ t stop unless passengers wanted to get on oroff. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by askingfor help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry andstand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow (吞下)my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed thateveryone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty ofbuses pass, or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fearof making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for halfan hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the nextstop.4. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.A. she might be recognizedB.asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing5. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something6. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.7. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereCTo travel abroad, we often meet the problem of what to take and how it.Take as little as it is possible.Choose clothes for your different kinds of situations and when you have made your final choice, take to take use inhalf of it! It’s always a big problem to take too many things,and anyway if necessary, you can buy what you need in America. Things like jeans,T-shirts and other clothes are good buys in the US. If you hunt around you can usually find something on sale.Whatever baggage you take, make sure it is easy to take .Getting on and off buses and trains, even just changing planes,can be a test if your bags aretoo heavy or too many .The best way is to take one holdall(手提箱), like a suitcase or a backpack, and then a smaller bag. Even when you have to check inyour holdall, at the airport or bus station, you can keep all your money anddocuments by your side. It is also a good idea to keep a change of clothingin your shoulder bag in case your suitcase or backpack gets lost by an airlineor a bus company.The means you choose to travel around the US will depend on your money, your time and something else. Since there are certain discounts available totravelers who buy their tickets outside the US, it is a good idea to make travel plans before you go there. Also, when you buy your tickets outside the US, yousave the eight percent sales tax (税). Travel is like everything else inAmerica — you have to shop around for the best buys. Never be afraid to askfor the cheapest fare. The clerk seldom offers you the cheapest one.8.What is the writer’s idea about what to take while travelling abroad?A. Take as many clothes as possible.B. Take as few things as you can.C. Take only your tickets and money.D. Take whatever you can use in different situations.9. The writer thinks travelers had better put their money and documents in_______.A. a suitcaseB. a backpackC. a shoulder bagD. a coat pocket10. From the last paragraph we can learn that _______.A.travelling around the US will cost you little money.B.buying tickets outside the US is cheaper.D.clerks always see you the cheapest things.11. The passage is mainly about some advice about _____.A.travelling in AmericaB.shopping in AmericaC.the means to travel around the USD.the ways to save money in the USADSo called “never-marrieds ” are one of the fastest-growing groups in America, according to the US Census Bureau. More than 40 percent of the adult populationare singles, and 10 percent of all adults will never marry, according to the recent statistics. In less than 30 years, the number of people who have never walked down the aisle (通道) has more than doubled, as the average age of marriage has reached a historic high: 25 years for women, and 27 years for men.Why is America becoming more and more a nation of singles? “ People are being more demanding. It ’ s a soul mate(配偶) or nothing, when a generation ago, less than half the people said something similar to that, ” relationship expert Laura Berman told Good Morning America.A recent Rutgers University study found 94 percent of people between the ageof 20 and 29 agreed to the statement: “ When you marry, you want your partner tobe your soul mate, first and foremost (最重要的) . ”In addition to that, modern women are able to support themselves, and do notneed men for their money, Berman said. Someare buying homes for themselves. “ They need a manfor improving their lives, but not for creating them. ” she said. Gillian Thomas, a 33-year-old lawyer in Philadelphia, is part of the growing group.Attractive and successful, she has simply not found the right person to marry,and sees no reason to settle for less. “I feel internal (内部的) pressure to find a soul mate and I think we all do, ” Thomas says. “ I don’ t think it ’ s just women. I think that in this sort of post-feminist( 后女权主义 ) generation we allfeel like we can have it all. ”Singles often depend on a “ family ” of friends, who do everything from helping to paint each other ’ s apartments to taking vacations together, said freelance( 自由职业 ) writer Ethan Watters, a single 37-year-old.He has maned these groups “ urban tribes”, and is writing a book on the subject. But only the name is new.The comfort of these “ urban tribes ” may delay marriage, but they don’ t rule marriage out. Indeed, there may be some good news for those who wait, Watters says. As the averageage of marriage has risen, statistics say that divorce rates have leveled off. Could the urbantribes be on to something?12. As is given in this passage, why are there more and more‘never-marrieds”in America?A. More and more young Americans enjoy single life.B. More Americans are afraid of marriage failure.C. American government supports its people to live a single life.D. Young Americans have higher expectations of marriage.13. According to Laura Berman, the aim of modern American women to marry isto.A. have a soul mate to deal with their troubleB. find a man to provide houses and fortune for themC. find a man to make their lives betterD. have a soul mate to create better lives for them14. It can be inferred from the passage that when American singles have something in trouble, they often.A. go back to their parents for helpB.go to travel to escape the troubleC. go to their friends for helpD. have the expectation of finding a soul mate15. The authorA. concerned ’ s attitude towards marriage in American isB. objectiveC. approved.D. pessimistic七选五In years past, you couldn expect me to get anything’ t talk to me before 10: 00 in the morning,much lessuseful done.

The few who are lucky enough to visit this most mysterious continent do so by ship. To reach Antarctica, ships must pass through an extremely violent area of ocean called the Drake Passage, considered to be the roughest stretch of sea on the planet.Walls of water thirty, sometimes forty feet high continually crashed against our ship for two solid days. We would hold on to a rope inside the ship while being violently tipped (倾斜) to one extreme side, then to the other, and then back again. My daughter Claire and I were as mentally prepared as we could be.About two and a half days after entering the Drake Passage, the waters calmed. Soon, we noticed small black spots on nearby pieces of floating ice. Emperor penguins (企鹅)! Then, we began the two-mile hike over the ice to the penguin colony. Within several hundred yards,small groups of emperors, perhaps ten or so at a time, greeted us, sliding on their bellies and making their wonderful noises, sort of a long, high-pitched sound.One day two adult emperors with their three chicks following them approached Claire, who was resting on the ice. They left the chicks with her, as if she were the babysitter. Twenty minutes later they returned to collect the chicks. And I will never forget the penguin that, when I jokingly asked which way back to the helicopters, pointed a wing in the correct direction. Every night aboard our safe and warm ship, we thought about what it takes to survive in Antarctica, an incredibly harsh (恶劣的) place.But each day on the ice, we also thought about the Drake Passage, the impact of the large body of water we had to endure to get where we were. Over the course of our visit, we came to respect the power of that sea. We still talk about the penguins, as I’m sure we always will. But we talk about the Drake Passage, too. Both experiences were unforgettable, an one would not have been possible without the other.4.Why is the Drake Passage mentioned in the first paragraph?A.The water in the area is usually calm.B.People can see very attractive scenery there.C.It is quite a dangerous section of the journey.D.A lot of sea animals often appear in the area.5.What is the theme of the third paragraph?A.The visitors appreciated the penguins.B.The living habits of emperor penguins.C.How penguins made their wonderful noises.D.The appearance and shape of emperor penguins.6.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A.Penguins try to avoid human beings.B.Penguins are not afraid of human beings.C.Claire played with the two adult penguins for a long time.D.Claire led the young penguins to where the adult penguins stayed.7.What does the underlined word “endure” in the last paragraph mean?A.Promote.B.Break.C.Arrange.D.Experience.Experts analyzed how language can affect children’s lives and the role it plays ineveryday life They also determined which languages tend to lead to the best career opportunities as an adult. “We believe that language learning is hugely beneficial for children’s development and it is a real investment for the future,” said Antonella Sorace, professor of developmental linguistics (语言学) at Edinburgh University. The study involved a survey of 2,001 parents with children under the age of 18, as well as another survey of more than 500 business leaders.So which languages took the top spot? Results indicated that children should be learning French, German, and/or Chinese if they want to be successful within the next ten years. Mastering a second language opens the door to new markets for businesses and allows them to create new relationships with potential partners. Besides being able to speak another language, the academic and interpersonal skills that can be acquired from learning a new language are important as well. “Children who are exposed to different languages become more aware of different cultures, other people, and other points of view. They also tend to be better than monolinguals (只用单语的人) at multitasking and are often more advanced readers,” said Sorace.A vast majority of parents surveyed in this study (85 percent) believe it is important for their children to learn a second language, and about one in four believe it will increase their child’s career opportunities and improve their chance of being employed. The future employment markets are in need of space tour guides, robot coaches, front-line e-commerce workers, nurses etc. No matter what a child choose to be, multilinguals and cross-culture talents will probably have a good chance to take the lead. However, 45 percent of parents surveyed admit that their child or children cannot speak a second language.If you want your child to stand out from the crowd, follow the habits of parents of successful people-give children chores, set high but realistic expectations, get yourself educated, make time for bonding, accept and recognize their feelings—and, of course, make sure they learn one of the three success languages!8.Who might be a person that took part in the survey?A.A young technician with no child.B.A farmer with a 19-year-old child.C.A librarian with a 16-year-old child.D.A middle-aged reporter with no child. 9.What are the benefits of people’s mastering a second language?① Developing one’s strong will.① Improving the ability to observe things.① Acquiring academic and interpersonal skills.① Having access to new markets for businesses.① Forming new relationships with potential partners.A.①①①B.①①①C.①①①D.①①①10.How many parents surveyed believe learning a second language will increase their child’s career opportunities?A.About 500.B.About 600.C.About 700.D.About 800. 11.What is the aim of the last paragraph?A.To present some parents’ opinions.B.To offer readers some suggestions.C.To explain some concepts.D.To tell readers a story.On Saturday, Britain will witness its first coronation (加冕礼) in 70 years, as Charles ① is crowned king in a Christian ceremony that is carefully prepared and organized, which has more than a thousand years of history. The coronation, which is the religious confirmation of his accession (就职) after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, last September, is the first of a British king since 1937.Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the event “a moment of enormous national pride” and “a show of our country’s character.”However, not everyone is in a celebratory mood. Republican opponents who want an elected head of state plan to protest on the day with signs declaring “not my king.” Anti-monarchist (反君主制者) activist group Republic plans to hold a demonstration a short walk from where the king is due to be crowned, though they received letters from the Home Office warning them about new powers handed to police to deal with public demonstrations.“Republic will not give in, and we will be protesting on Trafalgar Square and along the route of the coronation procession on Saturday,” the group’s chief executive, Graham Smith, told The Guardian.The annual British Attitudes Survey also uncovered a change in attitudes towards the royals. Of the respondents, 29 percent said the monarchy was “very important,” 26 percent thought it was “quite important,” 20 percent said it was “not very important,” and 25 percent said it was “not at all important.” The number of people who said that the monarchy is “very important” has never been lower since data collection began in 1983. There was also a clear difference in attitudes between older and younger generations. Just 12 percent of 18-to34-year-olds view the monarchy as “very important,” compared to 42 percent of the 55+ age group.Australia, Belize, and Jamaica are already indicating moves towards becoming republics while Charles is also facing calls to apologize for his ancestors’ involvement in colonialism (殖民主义) and the slave trade.12.How do Republican opponents respond to the Home Office’s warning?A.They will change their route.B.They will give up the protest.C.They will still carry out their plan.D.They will negotiate with the police. 13.What does the underlined word “demonstration” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Public hearing.B.Public security.C.Public service.D.Public march.14.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A.People’s different views on the value and function of the monarchy.B.The purpose of the collection of data about the the royal family.C.The reason why older generations prefer the monarchy.D.People’s different understanding of the royal family.15.Which is a suitable title for the news report?A.Moment of enormous national pride for UKB.The coronation—religious confirmation of Charles’ accessionC.Charles faces calls to apologize for his ancestors’ colonialismD.Doubts remain for monarchy as UK holds first coronation in 70 years二、七选五Being a good neighbor matters-not only because it makes life more pleasant, but also because being a good neighbor is part of being a good person.Being a good neighbor has a lot to do with respecting privacy. 16 , give neighbors a lot of space and try to sense when it’s appropriate to back off (退避).17 . Helping with physical work is one good way to establish trust. If your neighbor is going to be moving some heavy furniture, or needs help in fixing something you know your way around, offer to help out. Once you’re getting familiar, this assistance can also extend to things like house-sitting (替人看家) or collecting the mail while your neighboris away.

Don’t mess around—be a kind and responsible pet owner.There are times when a certain level of noise is fine and there are times when it isn’t.20 . Turn the music down a bit after sunset, and further reduce the volume as it gets toward 10 p.m. It’s usually fine to throw an occasional loud party as long as the neighbors are invited or have been informed.A.It’s good to know the differenceB.This includes cleaning up after themC.It’s often best to mind your own businessD.You had better say congratulations to your neighbourE.Your family pet can be left in the trust of a neighbourF.You’ll probably end up playing with and entertaining these childrenG.But it’s just as important to know when the time is right to offer some help三、完形填空Nicole Salgado and and her family woke up on New Year’s Day to panic knocking at the front door of their home in Avodale, Arizona.

I wasfrustrated by everything that was going on around me.I was mad and confused about everyone especially when I saw a young girl walking throughthe store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice creamjust like I used to when I was young. I was jealous of the little girl, because she had something Ididn’t have anymore — a grandmother by her side.I had to force myself to ignore the little girl. She was just too happy for me and that wasunacceptable atthat time in my world.I went to the cash register to pay for my things. It was then that my anger quickly shifted fromthe little girl to the cashier. She took my things to another register. When the cashier gave me mychange I didn’t say thank you. I simply took my change and left.Feeling tired and hopeless, I began walking to my car. As I stood in a public parking lot amillion questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signsfrom the people that passed on? Why didn’t I feel her pre sence anymore?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Excuse me, excuse me,excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simplypointedto my car. “No, excuse me,” she said again.Then I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. She reached to the verybottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like that you need this,” she said calmly with a smile on her face.I looked down at the used booklet and there were some big bold letters on the front coverreading, “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?” By the time I looked up she had gone.I felt a sense of relaxation as I read the first page.

It is suitable forswimming and bathing. Therefore, the Red Sea attracts lots of tourists.However, why is the Red Sea believed to be called the Red Sea? There is a variety of reasons.One popular explanation is due to the fact that it is so close to the Egyptian desert, which was oncecalled the Dashret, meaning “red land” by ancient Egyptians. It would have been known as the seaof the red land.Modern scholars believe that a likely explanation of the name comes from the fact that someAsiatic languages use colors to refer to directions. It is likely that “red” refers to “south”, which isthe direction that the Red Sea points to. This theory is emphasized by the Black Sea which pointsnorth and it is said that black was once a word for north. There is also Yellow Sea and White Sea.The origin of the name of the sea is not exactly known as the sea water is not red in color. Itswater is mainly blue. However, in some of the most beautiful places on the Red Sea, the waterappears red.The Red Sea is surrounded by reddish mineral-rich mountains. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate (蒸发)quickly, which means the remaining water has a high salt content, so the Red Sea is also called the Salt Sea. These conditions are suitable for a type of algae(海藻)to grow. The algae are red in color, and since there are so many of them, they make the water in the Red Sea appear red.Besides, sandstorms from the Sahara Desert also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, making it look much redder. After a sandstorm, everything is coated with red sand, creating a unique and beautiful scene.8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The Red SeaB. How the Red Sea FormedC. The history of the Red SeaD. Why is the Red Sea Red?9. which of the following colors probably refers to north according to the passage?A. Black.B. Yellow.C. White.D. Red.10. The Red Sea is surrounded by ________.A. valleys.B. mountains.C. the Sahara Desert.D. Sandstorms.11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. White Sea points to the south.B. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate slowly.C. The algae are red in color and large in quantity, which makes the water in the-Red Sea appear red.D. Sandstorms from Asia also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surroundingareas, makingit look much redder.DDriverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.Based on the responses of 625 questionnaires made by Fudan University’s National Center for Cultural Innovation Research and the communication and data science laboratory, the report states that nearly 90 percent of the respondents are familiar with driverless cars, with over 67percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars. About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars. Meanwhile, around 47 percent were supportive of unmanned vehicle road tests in the country. However, more than 30 percent of the respondents expressed their concerns about the safety of driverless cars.If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.Smart cars with partial or fully autonomous functions are expected to account for 50 percent of new vehicles sold in China by 2020.According to the blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission in January, the country is aiming to become a global power in smart-car development and production by 2035.“One cannot ignore the risks and ethics issues brought up by artificial intelligence technology,” said Sun Shaojing, director of the Communication and Data Science Laboratory of the National Center for CulturalInnovation Research at Fudan University, “Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.”12.
