2020年高三下学期高三三模英语试卷(Z20联盟)-学生用卷一、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,每小题2.5分,共25分)1、【来源】 2020年高三三模(A篇)第21~23题7.5分At 63, Jerry Valencia was determined to get his college degree. He arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students' views, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that term and reapply for the next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs and have his student-loan(助学贷款) papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn't get any credit.Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.I overheard Valencia say he wanted to stay in school until he earned a master's degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.Twelve years? He was in and out of school, he said, depending on whether he had money for classes. Most of his seven brothers and sisters didn't go to college, and none finished. Valencia was determined to be the first, despite his late start.There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia's determination. At his current pace, he'll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn't seem especially relevant. He's found all the youthful energy and the joy of learning.(1) Which of the following best describes Jerry Valencia?A. Strict and reliable.B. Quiet and hard-working.C. Active and determined.D. Humorous and considerate.(2) Why couldn't Jerry Valencia finish community college as scheduled?A. He failed to earn enough credits.B. He stopped for years to support his family.C. He often quit school due to financial difficulties.D. He lost his job and couldn't afford the school fee.(3) Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Knowledge is PowerB. Never Too Old to LearnC. Time Waits for No ManD. An Idle Youth, a Needy Age2、【来源】 2020年高三三模(B篇)第24~26题7.5分Aristotle said the face was a window onto a person's mind. Today, facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to judge other people's feelings, regardless of age, sex and culture.An analysis of hundreds of research papers that examined the relationship between facial expressions and underlying(潜在的) emotions, however, has uncovered a surprising conclusion: there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognizable facial expressions for basic emotions across all cultures. Just because a person is not smiling does not mean that person is unhappy.This raises questions about the efforts of information-technology companies to develop AI algorithms (算法). Microsoft, for example, claims its "Emotion API" is able to work out what people are feeling by examining videos of them. However, Aleix Martinez, a computer engineer at Ohio State University, expressed skepticism. He said that companies attempting to judge emotions from images of faces have failed to understand the importance of context(背景).Dr. Martinez referred to an experiment in which participants were shown a close-up picture of a man's face, which was bright red with his mouth open in a scream. Based on this alone, most participants said the man was extremely angry. Then the view zoomed out to show a football player with his arms outstretched, celebrating a goal. His angry-looking face was, in fact, a show of pure joy.Given that people cannot guess each other's emotional states, Dr. Martinez sees no reason computers would be able to. "There are companies right now claiming to be able to do that and apply this to some places, " he says. "For example, they require you to submit a video, and then this is analyzed by a machine-learning system. Depending on your facial expressions, they hire you or not, which I find really shocking and based on a wrong and dangerous assumption."(1) What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Basic facial expressions are universal.B. Most facial expressions are recognizable.C. Emotions are as complex as facial expressions.D. Facial expressions don't necessarily show emotions.(2) Why did Dr. Martinez refer to the experiment in Paragraph 4?A. To show different facial expressions of joy and anger.B. To introduce a new way to study underlying emotions.C. To stress the importance of context in reading facial expressions.D. To encourage more efforts to be made to develop AI algorithms.(3) Where is the text probably from?A. A science magazine.B. A business journal.C. A news report.D. A research paper.3、【来源】 2020年高三三模(C篇)第27~30题10分Just a few generations ago, speaking two languages was supposed to be bad for people. Tests in America found that bilingual(双语的) people had lower IQs. Later it became clear that those surveys were actually measuring the material poverty of immigrants; members of such families were more likely to be undernourished(营养不良的) and less motivated, not to mention the obvious fact that they often took the tests in a language that was not their best.How things have changed! In the past decade it has become almost common knowledge that bilingualism is good for people. Many research papers have suggested that two-tongued people enjoy a variety of advantages. Most notably, they have shown that bilinguals get dementia(痴呆) on average four years later than those speaking one language, and that they have a basket of abilities that aid people doing complex tasks, including focusing attention, and updating working memory.Why bilingualism would improve these abilities is unclear. Researchers assume that having two languages means putting aside one when speaking the other, a kind of constant mental exercise that makes the brain healthier. This in particular is thought to be the reason for a later start of dementia.But some researchers say they could find no statistically significant advantage in any age group. It seems that if the TAL#NBSP bonus is real, it is not very noticeable and affected by many other factors.The bottom line is that learning another language sometimes contributes to an intellectual boost, though not always. But that has never been the main reason to do it. A second language expands the number of people you can talk to. Bilingualism may help you understand other people; one study foundthat bilingual children are better at grasping other opinions, perhaps because they are always keeping track of who speaks what, a regular reminder that everyone is different.(1) Why did bilingual people show lower IQs in tests?A. They didn't reccive any education.B. They didn't try their best in the tests.C. They were less privileged immigrants.D. They spent little time on a second language.(2) What may contribute to a later start of dementia of bilingual people?A. Updated working memory.B. Constant outdoor exercise.C. Long exposure to complex tasks.D. Frequent switches between languages.(3) What does the word "bonus" refer to in Paragraph 4?A. High concentration.B. Bilingual advantage.C. Unique brainpower.D. Language fluency.(4) What is the author's attitude to learning another language?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Disapproving.D. Doubtful.二、七选五(本大题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)4、【来源】 2020年高三三模(Z20联盟)第31~35题10分Have you ever hadsomeone tell you, "If you eat before bed, you're going to getfat!"1But is eating late at night, specifically after 8 p.m., really going to make you gain weight?One theory is that your metabolism(新陈代谢) slows down when you're asleep. With a slower metabolism, fewer calories are being burned. Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be burned off as much as they would be while you're awake. Although the science seems pretty sound, recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep. The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very very active.2So while we are asleep, we are still burning calories.3Carbohydrates(碳水化合物) are one of your body's main sourcesof energy. When they go unused, they are stored primarily as fat. However, the time of day that carbohydrates are consumed does not play a role as to how much of it is stored as fat.Actually, weight gain is based on the amount of calories being consumed overall and the amount of calories used overall.4It has little to do with the time when you eat. So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack at night? Although there is a relation between the two, it is simply a result of eating too many calories!Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. The time these snacks are consumed does notmatter.5A. All of these actions take energy.B. That being said, you will not get fat if you eat before bed.C. Anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat.D. Food consumed late at night will more likely be stored away.E. Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true.F. Simply put, if you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.G. There's another theory about eating specifically carbohydrates before bed.三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,每小题1.5分,共30分)5、【来源】 2020年高三三模(Z20联盟)第36~55题30分Wheeling her red chair and scissors around the city, a salon owner Katic Steller gives thoseless1strangers the gift of visibility—one free hairdo at a time.Steller is highly aware of the2of her cleanup job.

Concerning.CRoller coasters are popular attractions at amusement parks all over the world, and patrons (顾客)flock to them for thrills, especially in the summer. Some deaths and serious injuries have been associated with them, however, raising concerns about their safety. especially for fragile and elderly riders.Statistically, a roller coaster is not very dangerous, especially if a rider is in good physical condition. Amusement park patrons are far more likely to die in accidents on the way to the park than they are to suffer injuries on a ride, assuming that the equipment is well maintained and run responsibly. Parks run many tests on their equipment to ensure that it is safe for use, including measurements designed to determine the g-forces that riders will be subject to.There are, however, a few instances in which riding a roller coaster may be unsafe. For all riders, riding equipment that is not well maintained is risky. Before riding, it is always a good idea for riders to inspect the equipment as much as possible. They should look for signs of rust, poor repair jobs, or dirt, suggesting that the roller coaster is not well cared for. Small children are especially at risk of falling out of cars with bars, due to their small size, so their guardians must make sure that they are completely and safely restrained.Roller coasters can also be dangerous for people with heart conditions. The sense of excitement that accompanies a ride is also accompanied by an elevated heart rate, which can cause a heart attack. People with known heart conditions should talk to a medical professional about riding any rough ride, because they may be unsafe.In addition, roller coasters have been linked with the appearance of blood clots(凝块)on the brain. This occurs very rarely, but it is linked with rides that subject patrons to high g-forces or instance where a passenger was whipped around as a result of poorly secured safety equipment. Individuals who take blood thinners should avoid such attractions for this reason, and anyone who experiences repeated headaches aftera ride should mention it to a healthcare provider.28. W hy does the author believe a roller coaster is not very dangerous?A. P atrons are usually in good health.B. P arks test it regularly to make it safe for use.C. O nly minor injuries happen on a ride.D. M ost deaths are resulted from road accidents.29. What should riders do before riding?A.Determine the g-forces they will bear.B. Receive a medical examination.C. Read the directions carefully.D. Check the equipment carefully.30. When your child wants to take a roller coaster, you should .A.make him or her safely restrainedB. talk to a medical professionalC. find a car that fits his or her sizeD. check the condition for bad signsA. have a headacheB. feel tiredC. are very nervousD. take blood thinnersDResearchers have developed a GPS-enabled aerial robot that flies out over large bodies of water to drop life preservers near people who are drowning.A working prototype of the robot, called Pars, was developed by RTS Lab, and Iran-based company, which also tested the machine's capabilities in open water. Over the course of four days in August of this year, the Pars development team visited the Caspian Sea to conduct a battery of tests on its brand new prototype. The location was chosen partly because it's been the site of several tragic drownings in the past few years* like the unpleasant incident of 6 students drowning together in July, 2019.The team tested the Pars' stability during flight, the accuracy of the life preserver release mechanism, and the bot's performance in both day and night time conditions, 'Gizmag' reported. According to the researchers at RTS Labs, the prototype bot met their expectations perfectly. The Pars was able to fly for 10 minutes at a top speed of 10 m/s before needing to recharge. This gives it a maximum range of 4. 5 km, making it ideal for emergencies occurring along coastlines and near ships at sea.treacherous(危险的)waters with ease. When conducting a trial rescue mission, the drone(无人驾驶飞机)was able to reach a target 75 m away and drop its payload in about 22 seconds, while a human lifeguard took 91 seconds to swim to the same location.During testing at night, the Pars was also able to illuminate(照亮)targets on the ground and make itself more visible to its controller on land using several bright LEDs. While the aerial bot cannot pull anyone to safety just yet, it could be sent out ahead of rescue crews to provide some initial aid.32. For what purpose do the researchers develop Pars?A. To make the work of lifeguards easier.B. To provide quick aid to drowningpeople.C. To pull drowning people to safety.D. To find drowning people for lifeguards.A. drowning accidents happened here a lotB.it is a good site for swimmingC. it has large open waterD.it is near the research center34. What can we infer from the Paragraph 3?A. Pars needed recharging too often.B. Pars couldn't fly over a long distance.C. Pars can only be used near coastlines.D. The researchers were happy with Pars' performance.35.What does the underlined part "flesh and blood counterparts" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Normal robots.B. Swimmers.C. Human lifeguards.D. Drowning people.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。

They have made great progress.DSome years ago,Michel-Andre found himself staring at the body of a dead whale on a beach in the Canary Islands・It was obvious that the animal had been struck violently by a ship--but why?Only later,after surveying the whales which lived in the area and measuring the increase of sound pollution from ships did it become clear that there was a link.The whales had become desensitised to the noise of approaching boats and were being struck by them,often seriously."We never thought that this could be something that could kill," recalls (回忆)Andre,who is the director of the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics at the Technical University of Catalonia,Barcelona.Andre has spent 20 years developing an advanced system to better understand why incidents like this happen.His underwater microphones have exposed a world of deafening sound and animal communication never observed with such clarity (清晰)before.It was not an easy task.Sound waves don't travel through water in the uniform,predictable way they do through the air.Instead,the temperature,salinity (盐度)and,flow of water have great effects on their path.What can be done?One solution is to change shipping routes to courses where ships are statistically less likely to meet animals.It's also possible to slow ships down to 18km/h or less,which is less likely to seriously injure a whale.As for dealing with the root cause of the problem,the UN's International Maritime Organisation has already published guidelines on how to quieten ships,but it will be a while before the effects of such changes might be observed."The ocean is not our world," comments Andre.But it is ours to look after.And thanks to his work,we can better understand the effects of subsea sound pollution.12.What does the underlined word "desensitised" in Paragraph 2 mean?______A. Stubborn.B. Flexible.C. Dull.D. Friendly.13.What's one way to solve the problem according to the text?______A. To lower the speed of ships.B. To reduce the number of ships.C. To set up preserves under the sea.D. To give the injured animals timely treatment.14.What is the author's attitude towards what Michel Andre has done?______A. Doubtful.B. Disapproving.C. Positive.D. Uncaring.15.What is the text mainly about?______A. A great expert.B. Noise in the sea.C. Animals in the sea.D.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually ____25____ (make) them soextraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique about this shoe is ____26___ it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there ____27___ (be) not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved out of ice? Or did she throw away goods that she didn't need in order to travel____28____(light)?Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure ____29____ the cold weather.The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks each ____30____ (weigh) up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must____31____ (be) a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made____32____ to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.(B)Facial piercings(刺穿)and tattoos may (33)________ (become) more common ---- but that doesn’t mean they are any more accepted in the workplace, according to a new study. Visible body art is often still seen (34)_______ unprofessional and unwanted by coworkers, researchers from Texas State University found, with people saying they would rather not work with someone with piercings and tattoos when face-to-face contact with customers is required.“Our analysis suggests that body art wearers (35)________ (not overcome) employment prejudices,” said Brian K. Miller, who headed the research team. In the study, more than 150 people were given the tasks of selling business insurance.

Each word can onlyJob seekers should know the rules of labor market before they try to find a proper job. Most career organizations 41 three stages for graduates to follow the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers.Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their 42 qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful 43 .The second stage is to study the opportunities which are 44 for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be 45 in a particular profession. After studying all the various 46 , they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Good personal 47 is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms should be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. They should also prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. When 48 information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, as well as 49 their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the 50 company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities. Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The standard research report, regardless of the field or the intended reader, contains four major sections:Problem Section. The first section is the statement of the problem with which the research project is____51__. There should be an explanation of the ___52__-- social, economic, medical, psychological, educational, etc. -- of the question;___53___, why the investigation was worth conducting. Thus, we must explain that the question is thought to have significant relevance to certain problems and might ___54__ some sort of regulations on them. As a part, a review of past researches is recommended, which consists of summaries of the __55____of previous researchers with some assessment of the value to your recent research.Procedures Section. This section___56___ , with as much data as possible, exactly how the study was carried out. It usually includes description of any necessary equipment, how the subjects were selected, how many ___57___were made and when, what statistical technique was used to ____58___ the findings, etc. The goal of this section is to allow the reader to redo the experiment if such were desired to ___59___your findings.___60___ Section. The third section, perhaps the most important, is the presentation of what is obtained from the investigation. The basic rule in this section is to give all the data relative to theresearch question __61___ asked. If the experiments undertaken fail to prove anything, or if the data was inadequate or ___62____expectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis(假设) were totally proven by the research.Discussion Section. The final required section of a research report is a discussion of the results obtained and a statement of any conclusions drawn from them. Of primary importance is the conclusion for future decision making.__63____, the discussion section must assess the research results fully: were they validly obtained, are they complete or limited, are they ___64__ over a wide range of circumstances?

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Now, let’s talk about earthquakes on our planet. Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have many. For example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (震动) . Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives.Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves (地震波) , or tsunamis (海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fire out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking mealson their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city.What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls so not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. Over the years, scientists carefully studied the results of the earthquake in different parts of the world, and they are convinced that this kind of building is the safest.66. What can we know about earthquake from the first paragraph?A.Britain has large numbers of earthquake.B.There is often a great noise during an earthquake.C.There is a heavy loss of human lives in every earthquake.D.Trains will not run off the lines during the earthquake.67. Some of the undersea earthquakes were caused by ______ .A. the breakout of the volcanoB. the seismic waves.C. the tsunamiD. the powerful forces inside the earth68. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A building with concrete walls and a steel frame stands up best in an earthquake.B.There is no chance of fire in a building with concrete walls.C.Scientist studied the causes of the earthquake to get the conclusion.D. A steel frame has no help in making the house stronger.69.

These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, say Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And the y just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home a ddress in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’.”Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One p roblem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it is going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego.While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.74. In para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to ______.A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human errorC. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage75. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with?A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving licenseC. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.D. Some shortcomings of GPS equipment are more likely to result in service failure.76. According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systemsthat may confuse drivers?A. Wrong mapsB. Out-dated mapsC. Difficult instructionsD. Timing of GPS commands.77. What would be the best title for the text?A. Driving with GPS Can Be DifficultB. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small ScreenC. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More ConvenientD. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or ImprovedSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When the Internet powerhouse Yahoo wanted to teach ethics to its employees, it faced a challenge familiar to multinational companies.Yahoo employs nearly 14,000 people at 25 sites worldwide. They would feel bored at sitting down in front of a dated video in which actors with 1980s haircuts tell them what to do. So it hired a company called The Network to design a game. In the game, the truck where Yahoo was founded traveled the world, turning into a boat and a helicopter along the way as it visited some of Yahoo's foreign offices. Participants play in game show-like scenarios that quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly. And employees note: Yahoo is tracking how well they do.Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional methods. They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs), involving both interactive and real-world elements. Besides teaching employees, ARGs have also been used inmany areas for a number of different purposes.From a marketing perspective, a number of very successful ARGs have been written as a way to build product awareness. A very popular ARG called I Love Bees was produced to market the 2004 video game Halo 2. At its height, I Love Bees received between two to three million unique visitors over the course of three months.ARGs are more than just a fun way to learn. They have also been used to solve real world problems. An ARG called World Without Oil was created to obtain collective input from players about dealing with the world's dependency on oil. World without Oil simulates the first 32 days of a global oil crisis and anybody could play by creating a personal story that recorded the imagined reality of their life in the crisis. World Without Oil's success on a small budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate change, education reform, governmental policy and other timely, vital issues.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What challenge did yahoo face in teaching ethics to its employees?___________________________________________________________79. In the game designed for yahoo, participants had to answer questions about ________.80. What are the three major functions of ARG mentioned in the passage?__________________________________________________________81. The success of World Without Oil suggests that ARGs can ________.第II卷(共47分)1、平衡的饮食是保持健康的关键。

The Special and the Ordinary.BIt was a dinner party from hell(地狱).Not because of the lovely guests.The problem was that they were all experts in cooking.And they were all waiting for a pudding(布丁)I had cooked for them.I lifted my spoon high above the poached(水煮)peach and readied myself for it to sink easily into the peach.Instead the spoon bent at the neck.The fruit was hard,even though it had been cooked for an hour.It was my stupid mistake.Over the past two years or so,I have passed judgment on the cooking skills of over 100 chefs (厨师).I thought it could now be fun to get some chefs to pass judgment on me.Little did I know what I was letting myself in for.The starter was a French onion pie.It's a classic dish and would be a test of my skills.And it's the only cooked starter I know how to do.Next,the main course.My wife suggested doing the lamb(羔羊肉)thing first.I agreed .It' s a good dinner party dish because even if you overcook the meat,it's still a pleasure.The lamb is filled with a mixture of small pieces of bread,tomatoes,olives and so on.The only problem is that in this condition the meat has to come out pink,which fortunately it did.As to the pudding,I would do peaches poached in Muscat wine with cream.There was only one problem that I had forgotten that peaches were out of season and much like rocks.What did the guest chefs say about my cooking ability?"With all good dinner parties,as with the best restaurants,the food is by no means the only important thing and it was exciting that the party combined great diners and my host's generosity.And the food?As it happens ,it was really rather good---should have had a cheese course though.And the plates could have been hotter."4.What did the author mean by saying it was "a dinner party from hell"?______A. The guests were knowledgeable about cookingB. He was hopelessly disorganizedC. The guests were not welcomedD. He failed to make a pudding5.Why did the author hold the dinner party?______A.

Using the right cooker7.What was the author's problem according to the guests' judgment?______A. He had presented the meal improperlyB. He had missed out an important dishC. He had served the food on hot platesD. He had bought fruit out of seasonCEvery year,about 75,000 Great White Pelicans fly away from Eastern Europe's cold winter to East Africa,where they spend the summer.It's a long journey and the main stop is in Israel.The Great White Pelican is a huge bird.It's thelargest bird in the world to make such a long journey.Its diet is mainly fish and it eats about 1.4 kilos each day.The pelicans love to gather in large numbers.Until recent years,there were plenty of water supplies (供给)in Israel.Frequently,the pelicans arrive in Israel tired.They cannot continue their long journey until they have rested.However,for a variety of reasons,these water supplies have dried up and the pelicans have had to find other food sources.Fish farming has become big business in Israel.As you may imagine,a fish farm is something pelicans could usually only dream of! In the summer months when the Great White Pelicans passed through,Israel's fish farmers began to lose tons of fish.Some farms were even forced to close their business.Something had to be done.The Israel Ministry of Agriculture considered the problem carefully.How could it stop 75,000 huge pelicans from arriving in Israel?It decided this was not possible.It chose a place with a plentiful supply of water,and provided money for local farmers to buy food,which they fed to the pelicans.The pelicans soon understood this and now arrive at the place to feed and rest.They no longer have to rely on the fish farms for food.It's a solution that seems to have worked.At one point,it looked as if the Ministry would stop the money.One criticism (批评)was that with so much food,the pelicans would never leave and would become even more expensive.However,there was such outcry from environmentalists and farmers that the money remains.Perhaps their large numbers in Israel will attract birdwatchers from all over the world to visit the amazing sight,and tourism can bring new income to the country.8.What can we learn about Great White Pelicans?______A. They are loners.B. They winter in Israel.C. They are good at long-distance flying.D. They reduce their intake during their journey.9.What problem did the fish farmers face?______A.

Unconcerned.DNo one can deny (否认)that LeBron James gets paid a lot of money ---but no one can deny that he hasn't earned it either.He's broken the records of greats like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.He's a talent(天才).Professional athletes like LeBron give their lives to their sport to --- training,traveling,and pushing themselves to the limit.And while their lives may seem glamorous,think about this :Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing.In fact,many retired(退休的)athletes have long-term health problems because of how hard they push on their bodies.Retired New York Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered so much pain as a result of playing football that today he can hardly open a water bottle.The toll (代价)a professional athlete's career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain (and medical bills);it also means a short career.Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play.Without the showstopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry,many jobs wouldn't exist.Sports reporters,stadium workers,cheerleaders,and coaches are among those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment.It may seem unfair that athletes get paid to play a game,but remember who they are really playing for:us.We're the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games,who crowd around the television to cheer them on,and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins.The work of professional athletes certainly pays off for us.Shouldn't it pay off for them too?12.What does the underlined word "glamorous" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?______A.

For years people had told our founders, motivational speakers Jack and Mark, inspiring stories about themselves. Jack and Mark included these stories in their talks, and their audiences repeatedly asked if the y had ever been published.” That story about the boy and the puppy—is that in a book anywhere?” a parent asked Jack. “That story about the boy with the amputated(截肢)leg who became a tennis star, I need to read that to my staff,” a manager told him. Jack was asked repeatedly, “ Is that story in a book anywhere?”Eventually Jack and Mark decided their audiences must be on to something, so they collected the best 101 stories they’d been told in a book. They called it Chicken Soup for the Soul because they wanted it to provide comfort just like their grandmother’s cooking.They took the book to New York, hoping to sell it to one of the big publishers but every single one turned them down. The project appeared to have stalled until they met Peter Vegso, the owner of a small health and wellness polisher in Florida named HCI. Peter read some of the stories and loved them, so he decided to give the book a chance, becoming Chicken Soup for the Soul’s founding publisher.Never, in Jack and Mark’s wildest dreams had they imagined what the book would become. Chicken Soup for the Soul turned into one of the most popular and loved books ever published, selling 11 million copies around the world. Readers asked for more stories so we published a “second helpin g” of Chicken Soup for the Soul and a third after that, Today, we’ve published more than250 books, which have become the best-selling trade paperback book series of all time.28. What droved Jack and Mark to publish these inspiring stores?A. The rich source of good stories.B. The good chance to be famous.C. The benefits from the book.D. The demand of audience29 How did the title of the book come from?A. The taste of chicken.B. The way of cookingC. The purpose of the book.D. The experiences of children.30.

The wildest dreams of two people.B. An unexpected success of a bookC. An introduction to a series of books.D. Calling on people to buy a best seller.DAmericans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines. Including robots, will take over work now done by humans. These findings come from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington DC.About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives.Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person.Most Americans want the government to limit automation, For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver s scat who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said, Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts, His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates,Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world. He said in his speech that 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon, and millions of people built, the Hoover Dam as well as other great projects over the last 100 years.32. What do Americans think of technology?A. Useful.B. EffectiveC. Dangerous.D. Undependable.33. Which of the following do the majority of Americans want the government to do?A. Use machines to do dangerous and harmful jobs.B. Increase job chances by introducing machinesC. Select a person for a job by computer.D. Get rid of all driverless vehicles.34What did Zuckerberg encourage the students to do?A. Refuse self-driving vehicles.B. Create new job chances.C. Consider large projects.D. Fight against robots.35.
