2017-2018学年广东省汕头市高三（上）期末英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节）第一节（满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项．21．If you're on the hunt for something new and interesting to read，you have plenty of places to go．This week，we're looking at four of the best book recommendation sites，services，or groups，based on your nominations（提名）．GoodReadsGoodReads is more than just a book recommendation site，although it excels at helping you find new books to read based on the ones you enjoy．You can build a virtual "shelf" of books you own or have already read，share your progress with the books you're currently reading，rate the books you've read，leave reviews，and connect with other readers．BookBubWhile BookBub isn't strictly a book recommendation service，it does bring you super﹣low﹣cost books based on your interests every day．The service is free，and when you sign up，you tell BookBub what kinds of books you like to read．From there，you'll get an email from BookBub every day with book deals for that day．When we say "deal，" we mean it﹣many of BookBub's titles are free entirely，$0.99，or just a couple of bucks．LibraryThingLibraryThing has been around for a long time and is still a great user﹣powered book ratings，review，and recommendation site．The service calls itself the world's largest book club，and that's a lot like the overall feel．Once you sign up，you'll be encouraged to start adding books you've read and leave reviews for them．Behind its book ratings and reviews though，LibraryThing is a powerful tool to catalog and organize your entire book collection．OlmentaIf you're not interested in registering for accounts，adding your own books，or anyof that hassle（麻烦），Olmenta can suggest some solid titles to you based on general popularity and the citation of the people behind the site．It's a simple list of book covers that the service thinks you should read，and a few genres you can click on if you're looking for something specific，like business，fiction，children's，theatre，poetry，or nonfiction，among others．21．Which of the following two book recommendation sites ask you to rate and leave reviews？A．Goodreads and BookBubB．BookBub and LibraryThingC．LibraryThing and OlmentaD．Goodreads and LibraryThing22．Which book recommendation site can help you get super﹣low﹣cost books？A．GoodReads B．BookBub C．LibraryThing D．Olmenta23．If you turn to Olmenta，you．A．need to pay moreB．need to add your own bookC．don't need to sign upD．don't need to look for something specific24．"If your dreams don't scare you，they aren't big enough．"﹣﹣﹣﹣Lowell Lundstrum Two years ago，I was a freshman at UC Berkeley．I was only 16 and couldn't believe I was in college．I told myself that I wanted to one day travel the world，but then it was only a "dream"．Two years later，that dream is coming true．I am 18 years，going into my third year at Berkeley，and in six days I will be making my first international trip to the UK．Crazy! I can't believe how fast the time has flown．My "young" age has always been a big factor in doing a lot of things but I have managed to overcome the age barrier and I won't let it stop me from accomplishing my goals in life．You can never be too young to live your life to its fullest．I'm leaving on July 20th，and will return in January．Most of my time will be spent studying at my exchange university in Manchester，but I plan on visiting all of London，a lot of cities within the UK such as Wales，Oxford，Kent，Cambridge along with as many countries as possible in Europe．Currently on my list is Norway，Sweden，France，Italy and Spain．The list will get longer once I get there，I'm sure! Till then，I'm packing，packing，packing and also saying my goodbyes （one of the hardest things to do）．This last week is going to be a very emotional week for me but I will use the love of my family and friends to carry me through．I feel like it hasn't fully sunk in that I won't be seeing the people I love every day，or that I will be starting over in a strange land．But somewhere deep inside me，I know that everything is going to be okay．I hope to be sharing my experiences along the way through this journal and hope to keep in touch as much as I can．Ahhhh! Can't believe it's almost here!24．The author will go to UK as a（n）．A．tourist B．worker C．exchange student D．freshman25．What's the influence of the "young" age on the author in doing a lot of things？A．It has always been a barrier．B．It has made no difference to the author．C．It has kept him from accomplishing his goals in life．D．It has been a big factor helping him doing things better．26．Which of the following best describe the author's feelings before leaving for Berkeley？A．worried and discouragedB．excited and concernedC．happy and thrilledD．anxious and sad27．The passage is probably taken from．A．a speech B．a conversation C．a journal D．a novel28．Despite the central role food plays in all of our lives，we let a great deal of it go to waste．About one﹣third of all food produced in the world goes uneaten each year﹣a fact that harms our climate，costs the global economy billions of dollars and strains natural resources like water and land．Given the enormous impacts，it's clear why the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals issued Target 12.3's call to halve food waste and reduce food losses by 2030．But with 13 short years to go，is the world doing enough？According to a new report from Champions 12.3，the progress is promising．Countries or regional blocs that have set specific food loss and waste reduction targets cover an estimated 28 percent of the world's population．At the same time，nearly 60 percent of the world's 50 largest food companies have set targets to reduce food loss and waste．More than 10 percent of the 50 largest companies also now have active programs to waste less food．Meanwhile，initiatives（倡议）have taken off in the European Union，United States，Japan，Saudi Arabia，United Arab Emirates and in other countries that expand public﹣private partnerships，government policies and consumer campaigns aimed at reducing food loss and waste．But it's not all roses．Only a few countries，accounting for just 7percent of the world's population，currently measure and publicly report on how much food is lost or wasted within their borders．These latest figures beg the question：Can the world really cut global food loss and waste in half by 2030？The answer is yes﹣but only if many more governments and companies set ambitious targets，measure this inefficiency and take action to reduce food loss and waste．To my mind，there are three immediate challenges that require a collective approach．28．What's the meaning of the underlined word "promising" in paragraph 3？A．discouraging．B．surprising．C．encouraging．D．limited．29．According to the report from Champions 12.3，which of the following is true？A．Nearly 60% of the largest food companies have set targets to reduce food loss and waste．B．Over 10% of the 50 largest companies now have active programs to waste less food．C．Only 28% of the countries have set specific food loss and waste reduction targets．D．More than 7% of the countries currently measure and report on how much food is wasted．30．What's the main idea of the passage？A．The world is doing enough in reducing waste．B．A new report from Champions 12.3 was released．C．One﹣third of all food produced in the world goes uneaten each year．D．The world can cut global food loss and waste in half by 2030 with more efforts．31．What might be discussed after the last paragraph？A．The immediate measures a single country can take to reduce waste．B．The possibility of cutting food loss and waste．C．The way to solve the problem of food loss and waste．D．Three demanding tasks that need settling together．32．Our bodies have many clocks that control sleep，health and performance．If we do things at the wrong times，there can be dangerous consequences．This year's Nobel Prize was awarded to the three scientists who discovered the key genes in circadian （24﹣hour）body clocks．Their discovery enabled other scientists to discover the thousands of circadian times that control our health，our genes and even when we should have treatments：it can make the difference between life and death．Major heart surgery is common，but concerned about dangers．The most significant is the importance and duration of interrupting and restarting the body's oxygenated blood supply．On Friday a study was published on the complications arising from morning and afternoon heart surgery．The time of surgery made asignificant difference：54 （out of 298）patients who had surgery in the morning experienced complications （18% of all patients）compared to 28 （of 298）patients who had surgery in the afternoon （9%）．Heart surgery appears to be safer in the afternoon．The heart has a pretty strong circadian timing system，as is well﹣known to those in elite sports．According to sports experts，17：00 （5pm）is the time of greatest cardiovascular （心脏血管的）efficiency and muscle strength．The heart's circadian strength in the late afternoon may help explain better heart surgery outcomes at that time of day．Living to our circadian times boosts health；when we do not live to these times we have increased health risks．Greater disease risks arising from circadian disruption have been identified in the brain，pancreas （胰脏）and stress systems．Metabolic （新陈代谢的）studies have found disruption in sleep，liver，gut （内脏）and metabolic systems．These are only some of the consequences of not living to our body's circadian clocks．The links between mental health problems and our circadian clocks are perhaps the strongest of all．Depression is closely associated with awful sleep disorders．Indeed，changes in our circadian patterns are often the first symptom in many other mental illnesses．32．What is the benefit of the discovery of the key genes in circadian body clocks？A．To discover when we should have treatments．B．To find some cures for some deadly diseases．C．To help the dying people．D．To discover what controls our health and our genes．33．The author uses major heart surgery as an example to illustrate．A．heart surgery is not a big dealB．it doesn't matter when to have a heart surgeryC．it is definitely not safe to have a heart surgery in the morningD．the circadian timing system means a lot to heart surgery34．Which of the following is NOT the outcome of not living to circadian times？A．depression．B．greater disease chances in the brain．C．disruption in liver．D．fewer disease risks in stress systems．35．Which of the following may be the best title of the passage？A．When we can have a heart surgery．B．How the circadian timing system controls our body．C．Why we must listen to the ticking of our body clock．D．What mental health problems we can meet．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．36．How to Make the Right Career ChoiceSince finding a job in your career of choice will always be easier said than done，you'll need to employ a flexible strategy with multiple avenues involved．Here goes：Map out your desired career plan．（36）Where do you want to work？What kind of work do you want to do？Is it

match your desired career．And leave no stone unturned．Would starting a blog or freelance writing help you gain authority in your field？Do it．How about volunteer work？Hosting a meetup？（40）The post﹣collegiate years can be some of the most emotionally and financially challenging years of your life．But if you create a strategy and become mindful of every decision you make，you can make sure the struggle is productive and short．All it takes is one break to put you on the road to professional and financial success．A．Double down on your current job．B．You can do so in a few different ways．C．Do whatever you can and you'll reach your goal．D．Maximize the potential for the next job in a few ways．E．The first thing you have to do is map out your desired career plan．F．Finally，don't rely

2017-2018学年广东省汕头市高三（上）期末英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节）第一节（满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项．21．If you're on the hunt for something new and interesting to read，you have plenty of places to go．This week，we're looking at four of the best book recommendation sites，services，or groups，based on your nominations（提名）．GoodReadsGoodReads is more than just a book recommendation site，although it excels at helping you find new books to read based on the ones you enjoy．You can build a virtual "shelf" of books you own or have already read，share your progress with the books you're currently reading，rate the books you've read，leave reviews，and connect with other readers．BookBubWhile BookBub isn't strictly a book recommendation service，it does bring you super﹣low﹣cost books based on your interests every day．The service is free，and when you sign up，you tell BookBub what kinds of books you like to read．From there，you'll get an email from BookBub every day with book deals for that day．When we say "deal，" we mean it﹣many of BookBub's titles are free entirely，$0.99，or just a couple of bucks．LibraryThingLibraryThing has been around for a long time and is still a great user﹣powered book ratings，review，and recommendation site．The service calls itself the world's largest book club，and that's a lot like the overall feel．Once you sign up，you'll be encouraged to start adding books you've read and leave reviews for them．Behind its book ratings and reviews though，LibraryThing is a powerful tool to catalog and organize your entire book collection．OlmentaIf you're not interested in registering for accounts，adding your own books，or anyof that hassle（麻烦），Olmenta can suggest some solid titles to you based on general popularity and the citation of the people behind the site．It's a simple list of book covers that the service thinks you should read，and a few genres you can click on if you're looking for something specific，like business，fiction，children's，theatre，poetry，or nonfiction，among others．21．Which of the following two book recommendation sites ask you to rate and leave reviews？A．Goodreads and BookBubB．BookBub and LibraryThingC．LibraryThing and OlmentaD．Goodreads and LibraryThing22．Which book recommendation site can help you get super﹣low﹣cost books？A．GoodReads B．BookBub C．LibraryThing D．Olmenta23．If you turn to Olmenta，you．A．need to pay moreB．need to add your own bookC．don't need to sign upD．don't need to look for something specific24．"If your dreams don't scare you，they aren't big enough．"﹣﹣﹣﹣Lowell Lundstrum Two years ago，I was a freshman at UC Berkeley．I was only 16 and couldn't believe I was in college．I told myself that I wanted to one day travel the world，but then it was only a "dream"．Two years later，that dream is coming true．I am 18 years，going into my third year at Berkeley，and in six days I will be making my first international trip to the UK．Crazy! I can't believe how fast the time has flown．My "young" age has always been a big factor in doing a lot of things but I have managed to overcome the age barrier and I won't let it stop me from accomplishing my goals in life．You can never be too young to live your life to its fullest．I'm leaving on July 20th，and will return in January．Most of my time will be spent studying at my exchange university in Manchester，but I plan on visiting all of London，a lot of cities within the UK such as Wales，Oxford，Kent，Cambridge along with as many countries as possible in Europe．Currently on my list is Norway，Sweden，France，Italy and Spain．The list will get longer once I get there，I'm sure! Till then，I'm packing，packing，packing and also saying my goodbyes （one of the hardest things to do）．This last week is going to be a very emotional week for me but I will use the love of my family and friends to carry me through．I feel like it hasn't fully sunk in that I won't be seeing the people I love every day，or that I will be starting over in a strange land．But somewhere deep inside me，I know that everything is going to be okay．I hope to be sharing my experiences along the way through this journal and hope to keep in touch as much as I can．Ahhhh! Can't believe it's almost here!24．The author will go to UK as a（n）．A．tourist B．worker C．exchange student D．freshman25．What's the influence of the "young" age on the author in doing a lot of things？A．It has always been a barrier．B．It has made no difference to the author．C．It has kept him from accomplishing his goals in life．D．It has been a big factor helping him doing things

probably taken from．A．a speech B．a conversation C．a journal D．a novel28．Despite the central role food plays in all of our lives，we let a great deal of it go to waste．About one﹣third of all food produced in the world goes uneaten each year﹣a fact that harms our climate，costs the global economy billions of dollars and strains natural resources like water and land．Given the enormous impacts，it's clear why the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals issued Target 12.3's call to halve food waste and reduce food losses by 2030．But with 13 short years to go，is the world doing enough？According to a new report from Champions 12.3，the progress is promising．Countries or regional blocs that have set specific food loss and waste reduction targets cover an estimated 28 percent of the world's population．At the same time，nearly 60 percent of the world's 50 largest food companies have set targets to reduce food loss and waste．More than 10 percent of the 50 largest companies also now have active programs to waste less food．Meanwhile，initiatives（倡议）have taken off in the European Union，United States，Japan，Saudi Arabia，United Arab Emirates and in other countries that expand public﹣private partnerships，government policies and consumer campaigns aimed at reducing food loss and waste．But it's not all roses．Only a few countries，accounting for just 7percent of the world's population，currently measure and publicly report on how much food is lost or wasted within their borders．These latest figures beg the question：Can the world really cut global food loss and waste in half by 2030？The answer is yes﹣but only if many more governments and companies set ambitious targets，measure this inefficiency and take action to reduce food loss and waste．To my mind，there are three immediate challenges that require a collective approach．28．What's the meaning of the underlined word "promising" in paragraph 3？A．discouraging．B．surprising．C．encouraging．D．limited．29．According to the report from Champions 12.3，which of the following is true？A．Nearly 60% of the largest food companies have set targets to reduce food loss and waste．B．Over 10% of the 50 largest companies now have active programs to waste less food．C．Only 28% of the countries have set specific food loss and waste reduction targets．D．More than 7% of the countries currently measure and report on how much food is wasted．30．What's the main idea of the passage？A．The world is doing enough in reducing waste．B．A new report from Champions 12.3 was released．C．One﹣third of all food produced in the world goes uneaten each year．D．The world can cut global food loss and waste in half by 2030 with more efforts．31．What might be discussed after the last paragraph？A．The immediate measures a single country can take to reduce waste．B．The possibility of cutting food loss and waste．C．The way to solve the problem of food loss and waste．D．Three demanding tasks that need settling together．32．Our bodies have many clocks that control sleep，health and performance．If we do things at the wrong times，there can be dangerous consequences．This year's Nobel Prize was awarded to the three scientists who discovered the key genes in circadian （24﹣hour）body clocks．Their discovery enabled other scientists to discover the thousands of circadian times that control our health，our genes and even when we should have treatments：it can make the difference between life and death．Major heart surgery is common，but concerned about dangers．The most significant is the importance and duration of interrupting and restarting the body's oxygenated blood supply．On Friday a study was published on the complications arising from morning and afternoon heart surgery．The time of surgery made asignificant difference：54 （out of 298）patients who had surgery in the morning experienced complications （18% of all patients）compared to 28 （of 298）patients who had surgery in the afternoon （9%）．Heart surgery appears to be safer in the afternoon．The heart has a pretty strong circadian timing system，as is well﹣known to those in elite sports．According to sports experts，17：00 （5pm）is the time of greatest cardiovascular （心脏血管的）efficiency and muscle strength．The heart's circadian strength in the late afternoon may help explain better heart surgery outcomes at that time of day．Living to our circadian times boosts health；when we do not live to these times we have increased health risks．Greater disease risks arising from circadian disruption have been identified in the brain，pancreas （胰脏）and stress systems．Metabolic （新陈代谢的）studies have found disruption in sleep，liver，gut （内脏）and metabolic systems．These are only some of the consequences of not living to our body's circadian clocks．The links between mental health problems and our circadian clocks are perhaps the strongest of all．Depression is closely associated with awful sleep disorders．Indeed，changes in our circadian patterns are often the first symptom in many other mental illnesses．32．What is the benefit of the discovery of the key genes in circadian body clocks？A．To discover when we should have treatments．B．To find some cures for some deadly diseases．C．To help the dying people．D．To discover what controls our health and our genes．33．The author uses major heart surgery as an example to illustrate．A．heart surgery is not a big dealB．it doesn't matter when to have a heart surgeryC．it is definitely not safe to have a heart surgery in the morningD．the circadian timing system means a lot to heart surgery34．Which of the following is NOT the outcome of not living to circadian times？A．depression．B．greater disease chances in the brain．C．disruption in liver．D．fewer disease risks in stress systems．35．Which of the following may be the best title of the passage？A．When we can have a heart surgery．B．How the circadian timing system controls our body．C．Why we must listen to the ticking of our body clock．D．What mental health problems we can meet．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．36．How to Make the Right Career ChoiceSince finding a job in your career of choice will always be easier said than

ways．C．Do whatever you can and you'll reach your goal．D．Maximize the potential for the next job in a few ways．E．The first thing you have to do is map out your desired career plan．F．Finally，don't rely

AWhile beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work，lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience．If you are looking for some peace on your vacation，we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索)．Lake SevanLake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia，in the Gegharkunik province．It is the largest lake in Armenia，located 6,200ft above sea level．Along the lake shore，there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to partake in such as windsurfing，swimming and sunbathing．While there，do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments，the Sevanavank Monastery，and it offers a great view of the lake as well．Lake ParavaniLake Paravani，located at 6,801ft above sea level，is in the south of Georgia，near the Javakheti plateau．At this level，altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly，or bring medication for altitude sickness．Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience．The lake is best known for fishing．Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes．Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province，East Turkey，near the borders of Georgia and Armenia．It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey，and many tourists are not aware of this beautiful attraction．Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus．The lake freezes during late November．If the winteris not extremely cold，you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing．Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list．The largest lake in Turkey，Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here．It’s situated at 5，380ft above sea level，and unique to lakes around the world，the water is high in salt content．1．If you want to visit some historic sites during your travel by a lake，you can go to_______ .A．Lake Cildir B．Lake Parvani C．Lake Sevan D．Lake Van2．What is special about Lake Van?A．Its water is high in salt．B．It is a volcanic lake．C．It is globally the largest lake．D．It is surrounded by mountains．3．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani? A．Lack of medicine．B．Volcano eruptions．C．Altitude sickness．D．Low t emperature all the year．4．Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?A．Lake Sevan and Lake Paravani．B．Lake Pravani and Lake Cildir．C．Lake Cildir and Lake Van．D．Lake Sevan and Lake Van．BIn the latest beauty craze(狂热)sweeping social me dia i n China，women--and even some men--are boasting that they are paper thin，by posting photographs of their waists behind a vertical(垂直)piece of A4 paper．To qualify，the waist must be entirely hidden by the paper．A piece of A4 paper is 8．3 by ll．7 inches，roughly the size of a sheet of American letter paper．With the A4 Waist，the trend is attracting hundreds of photographs and thousands of comments on Weibo and other social media networks like Weixin or WeChat．Being abnormally thin is a widespread standard of beauty for women，one that has beencriticized as an unhealthy ideal of female attractiveness．The tiny waist has a long tradition in China，going back at least to King Ling of Chu，who ruled from 540 to 529 B．C．Many in China know the passage from the Book of Han，the history of the Western Han Dynasty：“The King of Chu loved a narrow waist．Many people at court starved to death．’’Several commentators have found the A4 trend disturbing．In a telephone interview，He Xiaobin，senior fashion features editor at the Chinese edition of GQ magazine，said，“I find it completely stupid．Everybody has a different frame and body shape．Using a single size to define all human beings and thinking you have created a new standard is foolish．’’The A4 waist challenge annoyed him，saying that it allows certain people to gain bragging rights，while leaving others in depression．Luckily，some who do not qualify are turning to humor for comfort．Can they substitute a different paper size，such as A3，which is 11.7 inches across Or measure a body part besides the waist?5．What do we know about the latest beauty craze?A．Women with A4 waists are considered beauties．B．The love for slim waist is a new modern trend．C．A4 waist is an old standard of being slim in China．D．It is a new method to help people go on a diet．6．According to He Xiaobin，showing A4 waist in social media is_________ . A．traditional B．challenging C．disturbing D．instructive7．According to the last paragraph，some who don’t have A4 waists take the craze as a______.A．lie B．joke C．dream D．TargetCWhile we all try to find happiness, sometimes we still end up feeling low. While most people can control this feeling, low moods can stay with some, leading to depression. About 322 million people suffered from depression in 2015, according to a report by the World Health Organization in February. This is more than 4 percentof the world’s population.Depression is described by the WHO as a mental disorder. It has several symptoms inclu ding sadness, loss of interest and feelings of low self-worth. In severe cases, depression may even lead to suicide.The number of people living with depression is increasing. The WHO reported a rise of 18.4 percent between 2005 and 2015. Young people are a group known to suffer with depression. “The pressures on today’s youth are like no other generation, perhaps,” Dan Chisholm, an official of WHO, told Reuters.In China, depression among young people is on the rise, Zhu Zhuohong, a psychology professor with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua News Agency. Competition to outperform others, especially in education, can cause a lot of pressure for Chinese youth.Almost 1.2 million Chinese people aged 15 to 24 suffer from depression, according to a report released by British science journal The Lancet in May.Luckily, more and more efforts are being made to deal with this problem. This year’s World Health Day, held on April 7, will focus on depression. The day will highlight (强调) the “Depression: let’s talk” campaign. The campaign aims to make sure that people with depression both seek and get help.8．According to the passage, what was the population of the world in 2015?A. about 322 millionB. about 128.8 millionC. about 8050 millionD. about 18.4million9． Which symptom is the worst among several symptoms?A. suicideB. loss of interestC. sadnessD. feelings of low self-worth 10．What does the 3rd paragraph tell us?A. The pressures on today’s youth are the same as other generations.B. The pressures on today’s yout h are not the same as other generations.C. The pressures on today’s youth are bigger than other generations.D. The pressures on today’s youth are not bigger than other generations. 11．What cause a lot of pressure for Chinese youth?A. Competition between young generationsB. Competition to outperform othersC. Competition to perform better than others in educationD. Education to avoid disordersDWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be．Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on．At that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others．The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees．Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help mein the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．12．What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A．The tiredness of her past f amily life．B．Her disappointment at the family road trip．C．The family’s eagerness to return home．D．Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road．13．Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A．Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage．B．Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road．C．Because she needed a break after the long drive．D．Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life．14．The underlined word“placemaker”in the 4th paragraph refers to someone who_______ .A．devotes most of his energy and time to building his houseB．is ready to help anyone in need in the communityC．makes a creative design for others’housesD．is good at cultivating a place and sharing it with others15．What can be the best title of the passage?A．On the Way Home B．Never Travel againC．Escape from a Family Life D．Life on the Farm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。

AThe editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner HebridesIs this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looing seaward to the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord o f the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.Open April - September, from ￡5 per tent per night.Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, SuffolDeep in the wilds of north Suffol, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lae and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.Open Easter - October, from ￡10 per tent per night.Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, CornwallThis site, by a lae, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse(凉亭) with boos and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducs on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.Open Easter - September, from ￡10 per tent per night.Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of SciilyIts only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage —so bring plenty of boos to read and don’t epect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooing the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prie for best beer garden view in England.Open March - October, from ￡7. 50 per tent per night,21. Which of the following is TRUE about Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides?A. It has been open for a few years.B. A beautiful lae surrounds it.C. It offers the longest service.D. The rent of a tent per night is the lowest.22. Which place can you choose if you lie a simple farm life?A. Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides.B. Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffol.C. Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall.D. Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly.23. In Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, you can’t ________.A. contact others by phonesB. view the bay from the hillsideC. get everyday necessitiesD. rela yourself by readingBHere is an astonishing and significant fact Mental wor alone can’t mae us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amaement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we too a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we too blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can wor as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what maes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worer in good health is due to emotional problems.”What inds of emotions mae sitting worers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, aniety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting worers. Hard wor by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.24. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A. Fatigue toins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s wor.C. The brain could wor for many hours without fatigue.D. A mental worer’s blood was filled with fatigue toins.25. According to the author, which of the following can mae sitting worers tired?A. Challenging mental wor.B. Unpleasant emotions.C. Endless tass.D. Physical labor26. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting worers need to _____A. have some good food.B. enjoy their worC. eercise regularlyD. discover fatigue toins27. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Too much mental wor will mae people tired.B.Mental wor is of great importance to our health.C.It is hard wor that maes people feel tired easily.D.People get tired when woring because of emotional problemCTimes are a little tough at our house right now. Neither of us maes a lot of money, but years of eperience have taught us how to wal between the raindrops and mae it from one month to the net with a fair amount of grace. I coo a lot at home, more when we're facing lean times. When I now that I have to eep us fed on not much money, I fall bac on my grandmother's recipes. She taught me to coo.When I was a id, my twin brother and I spent long summer wees and Christmas vacations with my mother's parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with my grandfather on froen mornings, I found myself more and more in the itchen with my grandmother, watching her maing a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was epected to tae on all of the housewor while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to mae a little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooed a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luury, but there was nothing she couldn't do with a chicen, every part of it. Nothing went to waste.Now I understand that her food was sacred. I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years of family when I'm in my itchen maing country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation—of not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.From grandmother I learned to tae real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam with pleasure over a heavily laden table and say, “Do you now what this would cost at the restaurant?” I never new what restaurant in particular she had in mind, but I new that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurant anywhere can coo lie a grandmother. But now, thans to her guidance and years of practice, I can.28. According to the passage, the author coos a lot at home because__________.A. she wants to try out her grandmother’s re cipesB. she and her husband are quite particular about foodC. she enjoys cooing at homeD. she and her husband are embarrassed financially29. What does the underlined word “lean” mean in the first paragraph?A. with a bad harvestB. with little moneyC. with little energyD. with little wor30. According to the passage, the author’s grandmother__________.A. learnt to coo throughout the Great DepressionB. was careful in budgetingC. preferred chicen to beefD. was careful in cooing vegetables31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Coo lie My GrandmotherB. My Grandmother’s Sacred FoodC. My Grandmother’s RecipeD. Joy and Pleasure in CooingDA child who has once been pleased with a tale lies, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal tets. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a boo, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed tet, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or maing him sad thining. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled eperiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I thin, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not eist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar that I do not now how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New Yor to Philadelphia on a stic or covering a telephone with isses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.32. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ____ .A . repeated without any change B. treated as a joeC. made some changes by the parentD. set in the present33. The advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it ____.A. maes them less fearfulB. maes them believe there is nothing to be afraid ofC. develops their power of memoryD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs34.The author’s mention of stics and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.A.fairy stories are still being made upB. there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernie old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays35. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.A. they are full of imaginationB. they just mae up the stories which are far from the truthC. they are not interestingD. they mae teachers of history difficult to teach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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

I was only 16 and couldn’t believe I was in college. I told myself that I wanted to one day travel the world, but then it was only a “dream”. Two years later, that dream is coming true. I am 18 years, going into my third year at Bereley, and in si days I will be maing my first international trip to the U. Cray! I can’t believe how fast the time has flown. My “young” age has always been a big factor in doing a lot of things but I have managed to overcome the age ba rrier and I won’t let it stop me from accomplishing my goals in life. You can never be too young to live your life to its fullest.I’m leaving on July 20th, and will return in January. Most of my time will be spent studying at my echange university in Manchester, but I plan on visiting all of London, a lot of cities within the U such as Wales, Oford, ent, Cambridge along with as many countries as possible in Europe. Currently on my list is Norway, Sweden, France, Italy and Spain. The list will get longer on ce I get there, I’m sure! Till then, I’m pacing, pacing, pacing and also saying my goodbyes (one of the hardest things to do). This last wee is going to be a very emotional wee for me but I will use the love of my family and friends to carry me through. I feel lie it hasn’t fully sun in that I won’t be seeing the people I love every day, or that I will be starting over in a strange land. But somewhere deep inside me, I now that everything is going to be oay. I hope to be sharing my eperiences along the way through this journal and hope to eep in touch as much as I can. Ahhhh! Can’t believe it’s almost here!24. The author will go to U as a(n) .A. touristB. worerC. echange studentD. freshman25. What’s the influence of the “young” age on the author in doing a lot of things?A. It has always been a barrier.B. It has made no difference to the author.C. It has ept him from accomplishing his goals in life.D. It has been a big factor helping him doing things better.26.

The passage is probably taen from .A. a speechB. a conversationC. a journalD. a novelCDespite the central role food plays in all of our lives, we let a great deal of it go to waste. About one-third of all food produced in the world goes uneaten each year―a fact that harms our climate, costs the global economy billions of dollars and strains natural resources lie water and land. Given the enormous impacts, it’s clear why the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals issued Target 12.3’s call to halve food waste and reduce food losses by 2030.But with 13 short years to go, is the world doing enough?According to a new report from Champions 12.3, the progress is promising. Countries or regional blocs that have set specific food loss and waste reduction targets cover an estimated 28 percent of th e world’s population. At thesame time, nearly 60 percent of the world’s 50 largest food companies have set targets to reduce food loss and waste. More than 10 percent of the 50 largest companies also now have active programs to waste less food.Meanwhile, initiatives(倡议) have taen off in the European Union, United States, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and in other countries that epand public-private partnerships, government policies and consumer campaigns aimed at reducing food loss and waste.But it’s not all roses. Only a few countries, accounting for just 7 percent of the world’s population, currently measure and publicly report on how much food is lost or wasted within their borders.These latest figures beg the question Can the world really cut global food loss and waste in half by 2030? The answer is yes―but only if many more governments and companies set ambitious targets, measure this inefficiency and tae action to reduce food loss and waste. To my mind, there are three immediate challenges that require a collective approach.28. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “promising” in paragraph 3?A. discouraging．B. surprising．C. encouraging．D. limited．29. According to the report from Champions 12.3, which of the following is true?A. Nearly 60 % of the largest food companies have set targets to reduce food loss and waste．B. Over 10% of the 50 largest companies now have active programs to waste less food．C. Only 28% of the countries have set specific food loss and waste reduction targets．D. More than 7 % of the countries currently measure and report on how much food is wasted．30. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The world is doing enough in reducing waste．B. A new report from Champions 12.3 was released．C. One-third of all food produced in the world goes uneaten each year．D. The world can cut global food loss and waste in half by 2030 with more efforts．31. What might be discussed after the last paragraph?A. The immediate measures a single country can tae to reduce waste．B. The possibility of cutting food loss and waste．C. The way to solve the problem of food loss and waste．D. Three demanding tass that need settling together．DOur bodies have many clocs that control sleep, health and performance. If we do things at the wrong times, there can be dangerous consequences. This year’s Nobel Prie was awarded to the three scientists who discovered the ey genes in circadian (24-hour) body clocs. Their discovery enabled other scientists to discover the thousands of circadian times that control our health, our genes and even when we should have treatments it can mae the difference between life and death.Major heart surgery is common, but concerned about dangers. The most significant is the importance and duration of interrupting and restarting the body’s oygenated blood supply. On Friday a study was published on the complications arising from morning and afternoon heart surgery. The time of surgery made a significant difference 54 (out of 298) patients who had surgery in the morning eperienced complications (18% of all patients) compared to 28 (of 298) patients who had surgery in the afternoon (9%). Heart surgery appears to be safer in the afternoon.The heart has a pretty strong circadian timing system, as is well-nown to those in elite sports. According to sports eperts, 1700 (5pm) is the time of greatest cardiovascular (心脏血管的) efficiency and muscle strength. The heart’s circadian strength in the late afternoon may help eplain better heart surgery outcomes at that time of day.Living to our circadian times boosts health; when we do not live to these times we have increased health riss. Greater disease riss arising from circadian disruption have been identified in the brain, pancreas (胰脏) and stresssystems. Metabolic (新陈代谢的) studies have found disruption in sleep, liver, gut (内脏) and metabolic systems. These are only some of the consequences of not living to our body’s circadian clocs.The lins between mental health problems and our circadian clocs are perhaps the strongest of all. Depression is closely associated with awful sleep disorders. Indeed, changes in our circadian patterns are often the first symptom in many other mental illnesses.32. What is the benefit of the discovery of the ey genes in circadian body clocs?A. To discover when we should have treatments．B. To find some cures for some deadly diseases．C. To help the dying people．D. To discover what controls our health and our genes．33. The author uses major heart surgery as an eample to illustrate ____________.A. heart surgery is not a big dealB. it doesn’t matter when to have a heart surgeryC. it is definitely not safe to have a heart surgery in the morningD. the circadian timing system means a lot to heart surgery34. Which of the following is NOT the outcome of not living to circadian times?A. depression．B. greater disease chances in the brain．C. disruption in liver ．D. fewer disease riss in stress systems．35. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. When we can have a heart surgery．B. How the circadian timing system controls our body．C. Why we must listen to the ticing of our body cloc．D. What mental health problems we can meet．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。
