A"Shoeless" children are more likely to get to school earlier. leave later and read more. according to a new research by Bournemouth University.According to The Telegraph .researchers have observed tens of thousands of children who leave their shoes outside the classroom and found that pupils are more engaged in their lessons. which in turn leads to better academic performance. The research is in line with policies introduced in schools in England where children who go to class shoeless -following the steps of schools in Scandinavia in an effort to improve their academic standards and behavior.The study is based on observing and studying tens of thousands of children in over 100 schools in around 25 countries over the last ten years. For decades children in northern Europe have learned with their shoes off because they are left at the school door arrival due to snow.ice or mud.And now academics are calling on teachers in England to apply similar "shoeless" policies to give children the best possible chance of performing in their exams. Experts believe having children with no shoes in the classroom improves their learning because it makes them "feel at home" and more relaxed when learning.Professor Stephen Heppell. who leads the research at Bournemouth University, said: "Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on. The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair and we've foundthat 95 percent of them actually don't read on a chair at home. When they go on holidays they read lying down. Having conditions in the classroom that are like those at home means that more boys are reading in the classroom. Children also arrive earlier and leave later. which translates into half an hour of extra learning a day on average.”Wearing no shoes also means the cleaning bill decreased by 27 percent and schools need tospend less money on furniture because they don't need to buy a chair and a table for every child as they can sit on the 21. In the classroom. shoeless kids were found to be more_.A. absent-mindedB. politeC. focusedD. restless22. What can we conclude from Professor Heppell's words in Paragraph 5?A.

Policies help schools cut down on spendingB. Shoeless children do better at schoolC. "Shoeless" policies benefit kids in England$来&源：D. Good behavior pays off in the endBI was talking with a friend not long ago who mentioned he was taking his childrento Paris for the summer vacation, and the only thing I could think of was how grateful I was that my father never did that for me. Our vacations were spent 50 miles south of our home in Indiana, at Lane’s Camping Retreat.The campground had two lakes: one for fishing, the other for swimming. The swimming lake had a diving board about 300 feet high, and every year some kid made his way to the end of the board and then froze with fear. We’d run to the camp store and fetch Mr. Lane, who would walk down to the lake and yell at the kid to jump. But he never would. So Mr. Lane would climb the ladder, throw the kid over his shoulder, and climb back down.One year, our dad bought a tractor inner tube, which amazed us---we had begged him for years for something to float on, and he had resisted, saying it would cause wild excitement and we would drown. Then, unexpectedly, he bought the tube, which lasted several minutes before it broke and sank while my brother was on it. He would have drowned, except he was five feet tall and the water was only three feet deep, so he just stood up and walked to shore.After supper, we would sleep with the tent windows rolled up and Dad telling ghost stories. The raccoons（浣熊）would come out from the woods and move around the campfire, eating the spilled（散落的）pie filling.“What’s that?” Dad would ask. “Someone’s out there. Can you hear them?”We would pull our sleeping bags over our heads and dream of serial killers, then awaken to the sound of birdsong.Though I have never been to Paris, I can’t for the life of me consider myself deprived（被剥夺的）.25. What happened when the author’s brother floated on the water?A. He fell into the lake.B. He was hurt by the tube.C. He ran wild for several minutes.D. He drowned due to the excitement.26. How did the author feel about his friend’s summer trip?A. It was tiring.B. It was boring.C. It was costly.D. It was admirable.27. Why did Mr. Lane come to the swimming lake?A. To punish the naughty kid.B. To guarantee the kid’s safety.C. To teach the kids swimming skills.D. To help the kids overcome their fear of diving.28. For what reason did the kids pull their sleeping bags over their heads?A. They wanted to drive the raccoons away.B. They were frightened.C. They found the campfire unbearable.D. They felt very coldCProsocial behaviors are those intended to help other people. Behaviors that can be described as prosocial include feeling empathy(同感) and concern for others and behaving in ways to help or benefit other people.Prosocial behavior has long posed a challenge to social scientists seeking to understand why people engage in helping behaviors that are beneficial to others, but costly to the individual performing the action. Why would people do something that benefits someone else but offers no immediate benefit to the doer?Psychologists suggest that there are a number of reasons why people engage in prosocial behavior. In many cases, such behaviors are fostered during childhood and adolescence as adults encourage children to share, act kindly, and help others. Prosocial behaviors are often seen as being compelled by a number of factors including egoistic reasons (doing things to improve one's self-image), reciprocal benefits (doing something nice for someone so that they may one day return the favor), and more altruistic reasons (performing actions purely out of empathy for another individual).Characteristics of the situation can also have a powerful impact on whether or not people engage in prosocial actions. The bystander effect is one of the most notableexamples of how the situation can impact helping behaviors. The bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to become less likely to assist a person in distress when there are a number of other people also present. For example, if you drop your purse and several items fall out on the ground, the likelihood that someone will stop and help you decreases if there are many other people present. This same sort of thing can happen in cases where someone is in serious danger, such as when someone is involved in a car accident. In some cases, witnesses might assume that since there are so many other people present, someone else will have surely already called for help.Why do people help in some situations but not in others? Experts have discovered a number of different situational variables that contribute to (and sometimes interfere with) prosocial behaviors. First, the more people that are present decreases the amount of personal responsibility people feel in a situation. People also tend to look to others for how to respond in such situations, particularly if the event contains some level of ambiguity. Fear of being judged by other members of the group also plays a role. People sometimes fear leaping to assistance, only to discover that their help was unwanted or unwarranted. In order to avoid being judged by other bystanders, people simply take no action.Experts have suggested that some key things must happen in order for a person to take action.29. Which situation can be described as the bystander effect?A. When hearing an injured lady crying for help, the neighbors didn’t take action.B. On the scene of your colleague’s traffic accide nt, you called the police for helpC. A woman was to give birth on the train and you were the only doctor there.D. Seeing an old man slipping on the icy road, many people volunteered to help.30. What does the underlined word “distress” in the fourth par agraph mean?A. comfortB. despairC. peaceD. trouble31. Prosocial behaviors are motivated for all the following reasons EXCEPT________.A. the desire to better one’s self-imageB. instant benefits of helping othersC. parental influences in the early lifeD. empathy for another individual32. After the last paragraph, the most possible topic could be ________.A. situational influences on prosocial behaviorB. various reasons for prosocial behaviorC. possible benefits of prosocial behaviorD. skills and knowledge to provide assistanceDIn many countries, schools have long summer holidays, with shorter holidays in between. However, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. Instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. And there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms.Sonia Montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. She supports the idea. “The kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and I can’t afford to take several weeks off work, so I need someone to take care of them. But nobody wants the work in the summer months — they all have holidays of their own.”Not surprisingly, some young people disagree. Student Jason Panos says “It’s a stupid idea. I would hate staying at school in the summer. It’s unfair, too. The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here, but they don’t forget everything they’ve learnt in a few months.”Nadia Salib agrees. “Sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the s ummer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. The real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. But the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”33. What does Nadia say about young people on summer holidays?A. They need something to do to enrich themselves.B. Long holidays are very bad for their education.C. They would like to spend more time at school.D. Long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.34. What does Jason say about long summer holidays?A. These days many older people have them too.B. Schools in other countries don’t have them.C. They can help children forget about school. D. T hey have little influence on children’s education.35. Why is Sonia in support of shorter school holidays?A. .She can’t afford to pay someone to look after her children.B. She is worried that her children will forget what they’ve learnt.C. She doesn’t get any summer holidays in her jobD. She can’t get anyone to look after her children in summer.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。

2023届安徽省蚌埠市高三年级第二次教学质量检查考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Jeremy Pound recommends compositions inspired by the beauty of the British countryside.Frederick Delius: On Hearing the First Cuckoo in SpringA bird, cuckoo, in Bradford born Delius’s short work for orchestra. In this instance, the call of the bird is heard in one wind instrument and later another, while a soft, gentle tune in the strings promises sunny days ahead.Arnold Bax: November WoodsBax’s 1917 symphonic poem for orchestra has, as the title suggests, a wonderfully autumnal feel. A storm gathers in the first half but eventually the music switches to a calmer mood. Few works display the British weather so delicately.Gustav Holst: Egdon HeathThough the title of Holst’s 1927 orchestral work comes from a fictional location described by Thomas Hardy, the composer was initially inspired to write it by long walks in the south of England. The musical landscape here is rough and sometimes predictive.Edward Elgar: Cello concertoIs an ageing Elgar looking back over recent global and personal ups and downs in this grand but sorrowful 1919 work, or expressing the beauty of the British countryside? A bit of both, one feels—he associated a passage from it with the Malvern Hills.1．Which of the following is the first inspiration of Holst’s 1927 composition?A．The call of a bird.B．A storm in the autumn of England. C．The long walks in southern England.D．A famous novel by Thomas Hardy. 2．What do we know about Cello Concerto?A．It is one of Elgar’s early works.B．It involves Elgar’s personal experiences. C．It is developed in a joyful tone.D．It focuses on the beauty of Malvern Hills. 3．What do the four compositions have in common?A．They are composed in spring.B．They are musical works of the 1910’s. C．They are conducted by Jeremy Pound.D．They are inspired by the Britishcountryside.It seemed like it had only been a few years ago that Indigo, our black Lab (拉布拉多寻回犬), had first rushed through our door. While time raced by, our children grew up and went off to university. The mirror, which had reflected a young mum when Indigo first arrived, now showed a woman in late middle age. We all turned grey: me, my husband, the dog. In August 2017, I took Indigo for one last walk. She was slow and shaky on her paws. She died that month, a tennis ball by her side. Not long after, I got a call from our dog daycare. One of their customers was dying, and her dog, Chloe, needed a home. Given our recent loss, they asked, might our family be interested in adopting her? I told them I’d owned a succession of dogs since 1964, each one of them a witness to a particular phase of my life. But with the loss of Indigo, all that was over. The days of my dogs, I now understood, were done at last.Then one morning, as I was passing the dog daycare, I changed my mind. What harm could Chloe do? She spent hours that first day going to every corner, sniffing things out. Finally she sat down by the fireplace and gave me a look as if to say if you wanted, I would stay with you.Everything I know about love I’ve learned from dogs. But everything I know about loss I’ve learned from them, too. They fill our hearts. And then, in what seems like no time at all, they’re gone.4．What do we know about Indigo and the author from paragraph 1?A．Indigo liked playing tennis ball with her.B．Indigo kept her company for many years.C．Indigo was the first dog she ever adopted.D．Indigo took its last walk hesitantly with her.5．Why did the author refuse to adopt Chloe initially?A．She was not interested in Chloe.B．She was too old to take care of Chloe.C．She feared suffering mental loss again.D．She already owned a succession of dogs.6．How did Chloe probably feel when she first arrived at the author’s home? A．Cautious.B．Energetic.C．Scared.D．Easy. 7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Why I adopt dogs B．What I learn from dogsC．How I get along with dogs D．How dogs keep me companyMammals can produce their own body heat and control their body temperatures. This process is known as warm-bloodedness. Scientists believe that it may be the reason why mammals likely rule almost every ecosystem. Warm-blooded mammals are more active than cold-blooded animals. They can live in different environments, from the frozen arctic to the boiling desert. And they reproduce faster. The soft tissues that would give information about warm-or-cold bloodedness are rarely preserved in fossils(化石). So, paleontologists, or experts in the study of fossils, do not know exactly how mammals developed and changed into warm-blooded creatures.A group of scientists tried to answer that question in a study recently published in Nature. Ricardo Araújo is a paleontologist at the University of Lisbon. Araújo and a group of researchers proposed that the shape and size of the inner ear structures called canals could be used to study body temperature. The researchers compared ear canals in 341 animals. The movement of fluid(流体) through the ear canals helps the body to preserve balance and movement. This fluid in cold-blooded animals is cooler and thicker, meaning wider canals are needed. Warm-blooded animals have less ear fluid and smaller canals.Araújo said, “Warm-bloodedness, or endothermy is a defining feature of mammals, including us humans. Having a high body temperature regulates all our actions and behaviors.” The research team suggested that as body temperature increased and the animals became more active, the shape and size of ear canals changed to preserve balance and movement. “It is maybe too far-fetched, but interesting, to think that the beginning of endothermy in our ancestors may have ultimately led to the construction of the Giza pyramids or the development of the smartphone,” Araújo said. “If our ancestors would have not become independent of environmental temperatures, these human achievements would probably not be possible.”8．What is the purpose of Araújo’s study?A．To publish the study reports in Nature.B．To highlight the importance of warm-bloodedness.C．To prove mammal’s ruling position in the ecosystem.D．To explore how mammals developed warm-bloodedness.9．What can we infer from Araújo’s research?A．Cold-blooded animals have less ear fluid.B．The inner ear structures are typical of mammals.C．Warm-bloodedness distinguishes mammals from other animals.D．Environmental temperatures probably determine human achievements.10．What does the underlined word “far-fetched” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．Distant.B．Boring.C．Incredible.D．Reasonable. 11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Health.B．Science.C．Education.D．Entertainment.Chinese scientists say they have developed a robotic fish that can remove microplastic particles(颗粒) from water environments. Researchers working on the project say the robots could help to clean up plastic pollution in oceans around the world. The robotic swimmers are about 1.3 centimeters long. They are made of a soft chemical compound. The robots are designed to absorb microplastics while moving through the water.The project was launched by a team at Sichuan University in southwestern China. The researchers said the robots have already performed well in shallow water and they plan to carry out more tests in deeper waters. The robotic fish were built to target microplastic particles, which are smaller than five millimeters. Studies have confirmed that microplastic pollution has been discovered in many natural environments. The material comes from the breakdown of plastic products and industrial waste.The team said the robots can be controlled by light. Turning “a near-infrared lightlaser(近红外线激光器)” on and off causes the fish’s tail to move back and forth, the American Chemical Society said. The robotic fish can swim up to 2.76 body lengths per second. The researchers said this is faster than most similar soft robots.Wang Yuyan was a member of Sichuan University’s research team. She told Reuters news agency that the small, lightweight robot is currently being used to collect microplastics for research purposes. But Wang added that the team plans to expand that use so the robot fish can remove larger amounts of microplastic waste from deep ocean areas. The fish can take in different kinds of microplastics and even repair itself when damaged, the researchers said. And if a robot fish is accidentally eaten by a real fish, it could safely digest the material, the team added. Wang said similar robots could be developed to be placed inside the human bodyto remove unwanted materials or disease.12．What’s the robotic fish designed to do?A．Identify the polluted sources of oceans.B．Monitor the process of plastic production.C．Tackle microplastics in water environments.D．Prevent industrial waste entering oceans. 13．What do we know about the robotic fish at present?A．It’s still under test.B．It’s already used widely.C．It performs well everywhere.D．It sells well worldwide.14．Which of the following is the advantage of the robotic fish?A．It can serve as food for fish.B．It can swim faster than fish.C．It is fairly easy to break down.D．It is straightforward to operate. 15．What’s the potential use of the robots of this kind according to Wang Yuyan?A．Help to treat humans’ diseases.B．Removing larger plastic products. C．Recycling microplastic particles.D．Absorbing plastics in the human body.二、七选五How to Read the Newspaper Quickly and EfficientlyYou want to stay informed about the world but you have such a busy life. ____16____ Here are tips for reading the newspaper in the fastest, most efficient way possible: Scan the headlines____17____ Generally speaking, the headline presents the theme of the story so you can skip over some stories and read others. Remember that some stories will directly affect you while others may not. Use your best judgment in determining which stories you want to read based on their headlines.____18____Basically, a newspaper article presents the most crucial information early on and gradually reveals less and less significant details. In other words, you can read the first one to five paragraphs or so and really already know the meat of the story.Read the photo captionsIf you’re really in a hurry but you want a little bit more information than what the headline provides, skip the story and go straight to the photo caption(说明). Photo captionsoften serve as an intermediate between the headline and the actual story. ____19____ Keep in mind, though, that not all photo captions are created equal. While some may give you a summary of the story behind the photograph, others are much more unclear.Look at the graphicsSearch for bar graphs(图表), pie charts, and other visuals that show you what you need to know by the numbers in a flash.

A few hours away, every student at Burlington High School near Boston will also start the year with new school-issued ipads, each loaded with electronic textbooks and other online resources in place of traditional texts. Apple officials say they know of more than 600 districts that have launched what are called " one-to-one " programs.At Burlington High in suburban Boston, Principal Patrick Larkin says the $ 500 ipads isbetter than textbooks in the long term, though he said the school will still use traditional texts in some courses if suitable electronic programs aren' t yet available. Larkin said of textbooks, " but they' re pretty much outdated the minute they're printed and certainly by the time they're delivered".But some experts warn that the districts need to ensure they can support the wireless infrastructure (设施), repairs and other costs that accompany a switch to such a tech-heavy approach. Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics(信息学) professor said, "I think people will like it.I really don't know anybody in high school that wouldn't want to get an iPad," he said. "We' re always using technology at home, then when you' re at school it' s textbooks. So it' s a good way to put all of that together. " Districts are varied in their policies on how they police students' use.And the nation' s textbook publishing industry, accounting for $ 5.5 billion in yearly sales to secondary schools, is taking notice of the trend with its own shift in a competitive race toward developing curriculum specifically for ipads.Jay Dickey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers' schools division, said all of the major textbook publishers are moving toward electronic offerings, but at least in the short term, traditional bound textbooks are here to stay. "I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what sort of things work best digitally. "4．The first paragraph is mainly aboutA．a program to promote ipads marketing in new school yearB．a program to spread electronic learning in new school yearC．a plan of how to use ipads in the coming school educationD．a plan of how to oppose IT technique in the coming school teaching5．What's the problem for ipads to be used in schools at present?A．Some students wouldn't like to have ipads in schools.B．The ipads are too expensive for school students to buy.C．Most experts oppose the idea that ipads replace paper textbooks.D．The ipads may be unavailable for some traditional courses.6．The underlined sentence in the passage implies thatA．traditional textbooks are behind the times before they are printedB．traditional textbooks possibly need to he printed again before deliveredC．contents of traditional textbooks can't be renewed in time as electronic ones doD．the ipads can deliver information much more rapidly than printed textbooks7．From the passage we can draw conclusion thatA．more students tend to use printed textbooks rather than electronic onesB．textbook publishing houses will develop more electronic textbooks of their ownC．it is impossible for the ipads to be widely used in schools in the futureD．electronic textbooks will take the place of printed ones in new school yearNowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse(社交) , such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style " street-crossing group. " Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the " circle of friends" of WeChat.However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, awell-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: "My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier. " One popular song today is also called " A lonely man in crowds. " Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one' s true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: "It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not. " The "spare time" he referred to could be taken as " spending time by yourself. "Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one' s quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand never stopping inputs. However,information, processed and integrated (融入) into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle (忙碌) seems to be the right condition. Successful careers m all walks of life worldwide have proved that "the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness". In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that " Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves depth".Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.8．Which of the following can replace the underlined the word "boisterously" in paragraph l?A．surprisingly B．sadlyC．busily D．peacefully9．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Being alone marks people depressed.B．Social intercourse improves our happiness.C．One may feel lonely even when surrounded by people.D．We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.10．What can we know from Einstein's words?A．You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.B．You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.C．You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse.D．You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.11．Which may be the best title for this passage?A．Live on Your Own B．Happiness and LonelinessC．The Secret of Success D．Practice Your Social AbilitySurviving Hurricane Sandy (飓风桑迪)Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see t he ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Nat alie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. V olunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I canalways choose how I deal with it.”Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars (创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”12．When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ______.A．some friends had lost their lives.B．her neighborhood was destroyed.C．her school had moved to Brooklyn.D．the elderly were free from suffering.13．According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?A．The people helping Rockaway rebuild.B．The people trapped in high-rise building.C．The volunteers donating money to survivors.D．Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.14．How did Natalie help the survivors?A．She gave her toys to the kids.B．She took care of younger children.C．She called on the White House to help.D．She built an information sharing platform.15．What does the story intend to tell us?A．Little people can make a big difference.B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.C．East or West, home is best.D．Technology is power.二、七选五Whether in your life or work, the following things are not the reasons for you to feel embarrassed. It's OK and just move on.1. Mistakes while learningThere will be times when you have people above you(a boss) or even next to you(a coworker) that will get really annoyed with you for“ruining" something "important". 16．Even if you make mistakes and get a punishment, persevere and push on. You do not need to be embarrassed for learning from your mistakes.2.Food choicesPeople are different and have different taste buds（味蕾）.Whether it is healthy or not, food is a choice and it is part of life. 17．You do not need to be embarrassed for food you do or do not like. Tell them, "It is a personal choice I have made, and I am committed to it.”3．Your pastAllowing positive experiences to define, limit, improve, and outshine（凸显）you may cause you to be caught up in the past and unable to truly live in the present. Whether your history is positive, negative, or somewhere in between, don't hold on to the negative experiences and let it reflect your current behavior， 18．4. The clean lines of your car／home／workspaceWhen everyone gets in the car, you realize your Starbuck bags are still on the floor. So what? Think about it this way: everyone has a"messy" aspect of their life. Maybe their home is completely clean, but the relationship with their spouse（配偶）is messy. Someone's car gets washed once a week, but his/her work life could use some help. 19．We don't apologize to others about our personal limitations. By being outwardly embarrassed, it only brings more attention to the fact!5. Putting yourself firstIf you find yourself saying no to something or making up lies to get out of it,tell them the truth, and don't apologize. You will feel much better in the long run if you are honest with them and yourself. If you're not up to a voluntary duty, you don't have to be. You can politely refuse the person's request.20．Put yourself first.A．It is simply a personal choice that people make for their own reasons.B．It is okay to be selfish from time to time.C．Errors are bound to happen when you have on your training wheels.D．Each of them waits for your immediate help.E.Let bygones(过去的事) be bygones.F.Forgetting history means betrayal.G.No one on Earth lives a perfectly " clean" life in every aspect.三、完形填空I always hold the view that every act of kindness can eventually change the world as generosity, gratitude and trust.1 was parking at a hiking road when a man in the car next to mine looked out and started to ask me for help.“No 21 .”I told him, as l was willing to help anyone in 22 .It turned out that his battery was 23 and no one would help jump to start his car!I 24 him if he had cables（缆绳），which he did, and in less than five 25 I gave him a jump start and his car 26 at the drop of a hat.

Dry ice is CO2 in solid form, with a temperature of about ﹣78.5℃． Unlike common ice, dry ice doesn't melt（熔化）into a liquid． When dry ice melts, it turns into a gas． So when you see dry ice "smoking", it's frozen CO2 melting into its gaseous（气态的）state． Dry ice is a popular matter in scientific experiments． It creates projects that look cool．Experiment: Healthy dry ice popsicles（棒冰）This dry ice experiment will catch people's eye, especially little kids' because the dry ice is going to be used to make what the young love to eat． It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy．MaterialsOne large block of dry iceA large spoonPopsicle sticksOne cup of your favorite juiceA tall glass filled with waterDirectionsUse the large spoon to make a popsicle ﹣ shaped space in a block of dry ice． You can set the ice on a piece of cloth or plastic on your table to do this work． Of course, keep in mind that it's okay it it's not exactly popsicle ﹣ shaped．Add popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the popsicle stick．Hold the popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your popsicle to harden． After several minutes, take away the popsicle from the block of dry ice and put it into a tall glass of water for a few seconds． Do this to warm up the popsicle just a bit． Otherwise, it will be too cold．（1）What do dry ice and common ice have in common？________A Their state after melting．B Their temperature．C Their usage．D Their form．（2）Which material in the following is not a must in making a popsicle？________A Water．B A spoon．C Sticks．D Cloth．（3）What is a tall glass filled with water used for in the experiment？________A To warm the popsicle．B To harden the popsicle．C To cool thepopsicle． D To shape the popsicle．2. Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house． He swam towards the middle of the lake, not realizing that a crocodile was swimming toward him． His mother, who was in the house, was looking out of the window and saw the two． In great fear, she ran toward thewater, shouting to her son as loudly as she could． Hearing her voice, the boy became alarmed and swam back． It was too late． Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him． The mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs． The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too eager to let go． A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, raced from his truck, too aim and shot the crocodile．Remarkably, the boy survived, after several weeks in hospital． His legs were extremely scarred by the attack of the animal． And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved．The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars． The boy lifted his legs． And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter． "________"Never judge another person's scars, because you don't know how they were made．（1）Which will be the best title for the text？________A Scars of Love．B Women Hold up Half the Sky．C A Terrible Experience．D Don't Judge by Appearances．（2）Hearing Mother's shouts， the boy________．A remained in the middle at a loss．B didn't stop swimming forwards．C swam back towards the shore．D was ready to fight the crocodile．（3）Which of the following statements is true？________A A crocodile attacked him when the boy and his mother were swimming．B The crocodile bit the arms of the boy when it reached him．C There is always an interesting story behind every scar．D It was a farmer who shot the crocodile．（4）By saying the words （see the underlined sentence）， the boy really wanted to show________．A how deep the scars made by the crocodile were．B what a brave and courageous boy he was．C how many scars and scratches he had．D how great and beloved his mother was．3. Does Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine． They are at the center of much of the world's attention． Paparazzi（狗仔队）camp outside their homes, camerasready． Tabloids（小报）publish thrilling stories about their personal lives． Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities（名星）﹣famouspeople, worry constantly about their public appearance． Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names． "Over time, " Villarreal says, "they feel separated and alone．"The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages． In the 4th centuryB． C．, painters followed Alexanderthe Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers． When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold ﹣ out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain（抱怨）about his lack of privacy（隐私）． Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film ﹣ stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do．Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be． Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras． When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their "story" alive forever．If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it． Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities． They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place．Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice． Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are． They are tired of being famous already．（1）It can be learned from the passage that stars today________．A are often misunderstood by the public．B can no longer have their privacy protected．C spend too much on their public appearance．D care little about how they have come into fame．（2）What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？________A Great heroes of the past were generally admired．B The problem faced by celebrities has a long history．C Well ﹣ known actors are usually targets oftabloids． D Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers．（3）What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today？________A Availability of modern media．B Inadequate social recognition．C Lack of favorable chances．D Huge population of fans．（4）What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity？________A Sincere．B Skeptical．C Disapproving．D Sympathetic．4. Whether or not you believe Professor Stephen Hawking's alarming theory that building a"strong"artificial intelligence （AI） could lead to the end of the human race, it's clear that AI is reaching the point where soon it will affect almost every aspect of how we work with computers．We must get used to computers that talk back．Last year, investment bank Deep Ventures attracted much media attention when it announced that it had appointed an AI computer to its board of directors to help make important business decisions．What actually happened was that the company used a program called VITAL to analyse potential investments （授资） in different businesses．But VITAL doesn't attend board meetings or vote﹣it's just a program．While it's not quite the evil robot we see in science fiction movies, it shows us how far computers and AI have advanced．Soon AI systems will be driving our vehicles, interpreting our facial expressions as we perform complex tasks, translating our voices into different languages and building other machines for us in factories around the world．But they won't look like us or pretend to be human．In the new film Ex Machina, a computer scientist is asked to assess whether a beautiful human﹣looking robot called Ava has human intelligence．I won't spoil the film for you, but it occurred to me that one of the reasons we believe other human beings are conscious and have intelligence is that we're told they are all．the time．Indeed, if you stopped believing other people have minds, you would quickly find yourself unable to function in the world． Google's Eric Schmidt argues that we shouldn't worry about AI, and that we need instead to redesign our education systems so that we learn how to get on with the machines．As powerful computer﹣based intelligences continue developing, we must let go of the belief that only humans have intelligence and consciousness．Just as we have accepted the reality that the self﹣awareness that makes minds possible exists within the animal world, we may soon accept that it can also exist within the machine world．（1）According to Professor Stephen Hawking，human beings________．A may be endangered by strong AI．B are still more intelligent thanmachines． C will benefit greatly from the advances in AI． D will never be able to build a strong AI system．（2）According to Paragraph 2，VITAL can________．A attend board meetings to vote．B make final decisions for the bank．C attract more investments to the bank．D assess the value of different businesses．（3）The author predicts that AI machines will soon be able to________．A control people's facial expressions．B construct other intelligentmachines． C have a human﹣like physical appearance． D change people's speeches into different languages．（4）Which of the following would the author most probably agree with？________A It is too late to stop the danger of artificial intelligence…．B Humans should learn to live with intelligent machines．C Intelligent machines will eventually control the world．D Only humans can have intelligence and consciousness．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．5.Suggestions that you should read books（1）_______ If you don't believe me， please consider these compelling（令人信服的）reasons to read more books．You will optimize（使最优化）your brain power．This shouldn't come as a shock， but studies suggest reading makes you smart． Unlikewatching television requires no thought process． Reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp （even in old age）．（2）_______Sometimes our daily life can start to feel dull， dry or sad． At times like this， I like to dive into a good fiction book for a much ﹣ needed escape into another world， where I can forget about whatever problems are stressing me out． You'll come back refreshed after your mini ﹣ vacation to a fresh and exciting place in the world of words．You will improve your vocabulary（3）_______ I couldn't imagine how I would write articles like this， if I didn't actively aim to expand my vocabulary， because using the same few words to express myself would get awfully boring in a hurry．You will reduce stress and relax into a good night's sleep．Exposing yourself to artificial light n your cellphone， TV or tablet reduces your body's production of melatonin（退黑激素）．（4）_______ You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed， and replace that with a good book， which is a much better sleep ﹣ friendly alternative．You will change your lifeI firmly believe that if it wasn't for books， I wouldn't have achieved an awful lot in my life；nor would I have the knowledge， imagination or creativity that I depend on as a writer，business owner， and a coach．（5）_______A． You will be absorbed in a new world．B． The more books you read， the better your life will be．C． If you're looking for entertainment on a budget．D． Therefore， if you do so late at night， it can make you difficult to get a good night's sleep．E．

words you can use， the better you will express your thoughts and feelings．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．My Emotional（感人的）Experience in Jaipur6.My
