But usually people would accept tame(温顺的) and loyal(忠诚的) animals as pets rather than dangerous ones such as a lion，a tiger or a snake.People love pets and take good care of them. The owners usually regard pets as good friends and some even consider them as members of the family. Although they are not human beings(人类), their behavior sometimes is better than human beings, for they are always loyal to their owners. There are always many stories about brave and smart pets. We often hear that a pet dog saved the owner's life or traveled thousands of miles to return home. Such stories often make pets more lovely.Some pets can also be trained to help people with some special work. For example, trained dogs can help the blind to walk and trained dogs and pigs can even help police to find where drugs are easily.But pets are sometimes trouble-makers. Some pets like dogs or snakes may hurt people without any warning. Some people may become ill after being hurt because of the virus carried by the pets. If they are not taken good care of, they will become very dirty and easily get ill. So pets are helpful to us but keeping pets is not an easy job.51.

The first one rises on the night of New Year’s Day. The second comes on the last night of the month, ending up with a lunar eclipse（月食）. That is the end of a trilogy（三部曲）of big moon treats that began in Dec. 3rd with a full cold moon. The Jan. 1st supermoon will be the biggest of the year. The moon will appear to be oversized for a few nights after that, though it will no longer be a full moon.A supermoon is a full moon that appears at the closest point in the moon’s orbit to earth, about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than full moons that appear at the farthest point in the orbit. Supermoons hang around all night, are easy to see and are not damaging to the eyes, no matter how long you moon-gaze.For those who may miss the night of Jan. 1st, an even more charming supermoon will rise on the night of Jan. 31th. That will be the second full moon of the month, which is usually called a “blue moon” because a double full-moon month occurs essentially once in a blue moon—about every 2.5 years. A blue moon is even rarer when it’s a supermoon. But that won’t be the only rarity that night. The super blue moon will also occur during a total lunar eclipse. If skies are clear, the total eclipse will be visible from eastern Asia across the Pacific Ocean to western North America.Lunar eclipses make moons appear blood red because of the way the blocked sunlight bends, when the earth moves between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun’s light from reflecting off the moon. So prepare yourself for the super blue blood moon on the night of the lunar eclipse. To get the full effect of the lunar eclipse, watch at moonset.（1）What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.The lunar eclipse.B.The New Year’s Day.C.The supermoon of Jan. 31th.D.The biggest supermoon.（2）What can we learn about the supermoon on Jan. 31th from the text?A.It will be a super blue moon.B.It will begin with a lunar eclipse.C.It will be observed all over the world.D.It will be the biggest moon of the year.（3）What does the author advise observers to do about the lunar eclipse on Jan. 31th?A.Watch it when the moon sets.B.Decide the spot first when they watch it.C.Film the whole lunar eclipse with mobile phones.D.Prepare sunglasses because the moon is too bright.（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Double New Year SupermoonsB.The Definition of A SupermoonC.Supermoons with A Lunar EclipseD.The Rarity of the Blue Supermoon【答案】CAAA【考点】高三标题归纳说明文阅读词义猜测细节理解科教类阅读【解析】本文是一篇说明文，文章说明了从2017年12月3日一直到2018年底，天空中将会出现三次超级月亮。

But usually people would accept tame(温顺的) and loyal(忠诚的) animals as pets rather than dangerous ones such as a lion，a tiger or a snake.People love pets and take good care of them. The owners usually regard pets as good friends and some even consider them as members of the family. Although they are not human beings(人类), their behavior sometimes is better than human beings, for they are always loyal to their owners. There are always many stories about brave and smart pets. We often hear that a pet dog saved the owner's life or traveled thousands of miles to return home. Such stories often make pets more lovely.Some pets can also be trained to help people with some special work. For example, trained dogs can help the blind to walk and trained dogs and pigs can even help police to find where drugs are easily.But pets are sometimes trouble-makers. Some pets like dogs or snakes may hurt people without any warning. Some people may become ill after being hurt because of the virus carried by the pets. If they are not taken good care of, they will become very dirty and easily get ill. So pets are helpful to us but keeping pets is not an easy job.51.

of people are using facilities that are unhealthy and more than a billion people defecate（排泄）in the open．Michael decided to take action in response to what is one of the world's greatest public health crises． He invited 32 health workers from 16 communities in the southern Highlands of Madagascar to attend a training to organize communitiesto completely wipe out open defecation．After completing the initial training， the 32 health workers returned to their towns and got to work． They met with their community and began to map out their town． Together they toured the area and pointed out every spot where people often defecate． Many of them became embarrassed after realizing the high amount of human waste in their community． They then continued to make a bill for the total costsof trips to the local health center when being treated for gastrointestinal（肠胃的）diseases． They quickly began to realize the financial involvement， besides the health risks of open defecation．The communities began to solve the problem on their on their own． They considered ways to reduce the cost， by using local materials． Bamboo fences were suggested as an alternative to wooden fences． Mud could be used to build walls instead of bricks． Before Michael starting his project， 267 toilets existed for the 6，700 people living in the communities Michael aimed to reach． It was not enough at all． More than 300 additional toilets were built． He was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm he saw from the community towards making opendefecation less．（1）What is the purpose of Michael's project？A． To change some

second comes on the Jest night of the month， ending up with a lunar eclipse （月食）．[That] is the end of a trilogy （三部曲） of big moon treats that began in Dec． 3 with a full cold moon． The Jan， I supermom will be the biggest of the year． The moon will appear to be oversized for a few nights after that， though it will no longer be a full moon．A supermoon is a full moon that appears at the closest point in the moon'sorbit to earth， about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than full moonsthat appear at the farthest point in the orbit． Supermoons hang around all night，are easy to sec and are not damaging to the eyes， no matter how long you moon-gaze． For those who may miss the night of Jan． I， an even more charming supermoon will rise on the night of Jan． 31． That will be the second full moon of the month，which is usually called a "blue moon" because a double full-moon month occurs essentially once in a blue moon-about every 2.5 years． A blue moon is even rarer when it's a supermoon． But that won't be the only rarity that night． The super blue moon will also occur during a total lunar eclipse． If skies are clear， the total eclipse will be visible from eastern Asia across the Pacific Ocean to western North America．Lunar eclipses make moons appear blood red because of the way the blocked sunlight bends， when the earth moves between the sun and the moon， blocking the sun's light from reflecting off the moon． So prepare yourself for the super blue blood moon on the night of the lunar eclipse． To get the full effect of the lunar eclipse， watch at moonset．（1）What does the underlined word "That" in Paragraph 1 refer to？A． The lunar eclipse．B． The New Year's Day．C． The supermoon of Jan， 31．D． The biggest supermoon．（2）What can we learn about the supermoon on Jan． 31from the text？A． It will be a super blue moon．B． It will begin with a lunar eclipse．C． It will be observed all over the world．D． It will be the biggest moon of the year．（3）What does the author advise observers to do about the lunar eclipse onJan． 31？A． Watch it when the moon sets．B． Decide the spot first when they watch it．C． Film the whole lunar eclipse with mobile phones．D． Prepare sunglasses because the moon is too bright．（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A． Double New Year SupermoonsB． The Definition of A SupermoonC． Supermoons with A Lunar EclipseD． The Rarity of the Blue Supermoon14．(★★)As a climate scientist， I'm deeply aware that facts are not enough to reach most people when it comes to global warming． For many， climate change simply feels too distant， both in time and space．That's where storytelling comes in．I worked on the global warming documentary（纪录片）film series Years of Living Dangerously， the goal of which was to take viewers on a transformational journey by telling personal stories about climate change with the help of Hollywood A-listers like Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger． My job was to make sure each plot got the science right． But I must admit it that it was the personal stories that made the issue of climate change hit close to home for many viewers．The best films and novels have always dealt with the most attractive issues of the time． Uncle Tom's Cabin and The Jungle moved people to demand action becauseof their unique ability to weave together the emotional， realistic and moral threads around [focal] topics like slavery， poverty and dangerous working conditions． When done right， true stories are explosive． They provide us with new ways of seeing the world and our place in it．The facts themselves may be unable to make global warming feel psychologically acceptable， but we still need them to make informed decisions． Climate change and its associated effects-rising seas， glacier melting， species extinction and increasingly extreme weather-can arouse strong feelings including anxiety， fear and even despair．While we need those feelings to take action， documentaries and sciencefictions allow us to safely fight with the concept and reflect on the consequences that come with burning fossil fuels． In that sense， works of fiction have the potential to help us not only understand our influence on the planet more fully，but also to demand a sustainable path forward．（1）What is the author's work aimed at？A． Dealing with the global warming more deeply．B． Taking viewers on a journey to find global warming．C． Making people aware of more about the global warming．D． Entertaining more people with films about climate change．（2）What appeals to the viewers most in Years of Living Dangerously？A． The correctness of plots．B． The personal stories themselves．C． The making team of the film series．D． The film's background of Hollywood．（3）What does the underlined word "focal" in Paragraph 4 mean？A． Moral．B． Exciting．C． Hot．D． Historical．（4）How do works of science fictions affect human beings？A． By arousing Strong feelings．B． By creating a visional world．C． By stopping the global warming．D． By providing new views．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．(★★)Having proper manners is essential in all aspects of life if you want others to respect you． Here are some of the advantages of having good manners：Professional manners get positive attention．（1） However， knowing how to do the work isn't the only thing expected of you． Following the manners rules at work will

job are importantB． Being kind to customers increases salesC． If you want to make more honest friendsD． And then others will respect you more for itE． Employers are trying to earn much money from their customersF． When your friends know you care enough to have good manners with themG． Holding a door for a mom with a baby or an older person can make their day

These might be reminders from the past, clothing that no longer fits, or places that don’t fit with your new goals of gaining confidence. Though you may not be able to get rid of every negative source in your life, you can certainly think about how to cut your losses. 40．A. Get away from your past.B. Rid reminders of your negativity.C.
