2019年江苏省天一中学十月份调研考试高三英语

2019-2020学年江苏省天一中学高三英语三模试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AOlder adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older.As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions.A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep.The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid.The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks.―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN.1. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean?A. difficultB. disorderedC. dissolvedD. different2. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep?A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues.B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal.D It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests.3. What can we infer from the study?A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours.B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests.C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain.D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial.BBack about 20 months ago I started college and just struggled with everything, such as classes and friends. I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being about to do better in school, in addition to lack of friends due to poor social and communication skills.This went on for months until my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cake and ly no one to share it with. I ended throwing out the cake after having one piece, with about 90 % of it leftover. That night I was depressed that I decided to go outside to the freezing temperature of the winter and run. I put my earphones in, went outside and ran about 2 miles at 11 p.m. on my birthday.When I got back inside I was content. I was proud of what I was able to do. The next night I did the same. I wasn’t quick or fit but you know that I went outside and did something. This continued for about 2 months until I finally worked up the courage to go to the gym, where I started swimming again as I used to in high school. A month went by and I started lifting weights and continually running.Looking back I can see that exercise helped cure my depression but it didn’t only do that. At the gym I met new friends and back at my dorm I grew confidence to go to the end of the hall seeing people playing Super Smash Brothers and ask if I could join.So go forward to present now. I exercise every day and look forward to that hour and a half I get daily to do what I love with people who love it as well. I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a similar situation.4. What made the author decide to run at night?A. His l9th birthday.B. His parents’ cake.C. His loneliness.D. His friends.5. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Traditional.B. Determined.C. Humorous.D. Generous.6. What is the biggest benefit of the author’s running?A. Regaining his confidence.B. Losing his weight.C. Playing with his brothers.D. Joining other activities.7. Why do you think the author wrote this passage?A. To recall his life in college.B. To show his gratitude to his parents.C. To emphasize the importance of friendship.D. To share his experience of dealing with hardship.CDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all, I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As 1 flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness sand said, we need to put the landing gear down now! That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn’t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.8. What does the author say about doctors in general?A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are quick learners of CRM.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are unwilling to take advice.9. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when .A. his boss landed the plane too lateB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. he saved the plane by speaking upD. his boss operated on a patient10. In the last paragraph landing gear up probably means .A. following flying requirementsB. making a mistake that may cost livesC. listening to what fellow doctors sayD. overreacting to different opinions11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying SafeB. A Pilot-Turned DoctorC. The Making of a Good PilotD. Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorDWhen I was a child, I attained high grades in my academic study. However, I was physically uncoordinated because I was running too slowly. But for future college application, sport was a must. So I took up fencing (击剑) because I thought it required more strategy than athletic ability.Then I joined the school’s fencing team. My movements were clumsy compared to the seniors. One afternoon after a whole lesson’s failure, tears of frustration welled up in my eyes. One of my teammates approached me, “Could you tell me where your blade (剑) hit me?” She asked. I pointed to her right shoulder. She nodded and patted my stomach, “That’s where I hit you.” She had begun to walk away when I blurted out, “Want to practice together? Again?”We practiced until we both felt more confident. But it wasn’t just the two of us. All these girls were entirelywilling to share their knowledge with everyone, helping each other to grow.That afternoon, I watched a senior fencer execute a flawless attack admiringly. Something inside me suddenly bloomed. I realized later that it was love for both fencing and the fencing team.During the city championship, I was selected to fence. My opponent was the best fencer on her school’s team. “Ready, fence.” The match began. Suddenly, my opponent’s blade hit me. The score was 1-0.At the moment I could hear my teammates shouting, “Keep distance!” And the team captain’s voice was clear and commanding, “Parry, then disengage!”Fencing, unlike academics, wasn’t something I could succeed in by myself—even during an individual match, my teammates were still giving me advice. Unathletic as I was, I was proud to be an athlete and a teammate.I saw my blade tip bury itself into my opponent’s shoulder and the judge signaling that it was my point. I could taste the sweat on my lips, which were breaking out into a smile.12. Why did the author start to learn fencing?A. Because she needed to train her coordination.B. Because she thought it would be easier for her.C. Because she could not succeed in any other sport.D. Because she wanted to enter the school fencing team.13. How did the girls improve their fencing skills?A. By observing flawless attacks.B. By practicing on their own.C. By offering guidance to each other.D. By competing with other teams.14. What distinguishes fencing from academics according to the author?A. Strong determination.B. Hard work.C. Athletic strategy.D. Team support.15. How did the author feel when she got her point?A. Unbeatable and respectful.B. Sweaty and ashamed.C. Energetic and secure.D. Proud and thankful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's(学士) degree.Jennifer grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) a lot to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says.

In fact, there are 36 million blind people worldwide and a quarter of them are in India; however, many cases of blindness in India are curable. The poor in India have limited access to primary eye healthcare and often do not eat foods rich in micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in maintaining good eye health.Many people worldwide are not even aware that they may have a vision (视力) problem simply because they do not get their eyes tested every year with a doctor, who tests for the functioning of the eye muscles (肌肉), as well as common diseases like night blindness. This exam is strongly recommended by experts because some changes in vision, which the patient may take longer to notice, can be found easily in this way.Certain simple changes in diet and lifestyle can ensure better eye health for you. These include drinking plenty-of water, not smoking, and eating brightly color1 ed and leafy fruit and vegetables. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun, which damages otherwise healthy eyes. Learn about your family's eye disease history, and be on the lookout for any problem about your vision. Make sure that you see a doctor immediately for early intervention(干预) if you see any of these signs of worsening eye health.If you or a loved one needs to cure blindness or other eye diseases, turn to a crowdfunding (众筹) platform. A group of eye health caregivers have fundraised with crowdfunding platform ImpactGuru to raise money to perform operations on the eyes of blind women in south Asia. Running an online fundraiser enables both doctors and patients to find a way out of the dark. If you want eye care to develop, start a fundraiser today.8. Why are there so many blind people in India?A. There is a lack of eye hospitals in India.B. People pay no attention to their eyes at all.C. Poor Indians lack food good for eye health.D. The environment damages their eyes.9. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 2?A. Examining your eyes annually.B. Strengthening muscles every day.C. Raising the awareness of physical health.D. Attaching importance to self-examination.10. Which of the following may do harm to your eyes?A. Smoking a lot.B. Wearing sunglasses.C. Drinking much water.D. Watching brightly-color1 ed pictures.11. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?A. How to start a fundraiser online.B. The importance of raising money.C. The role of crowdfunding in eye care.D. What should bedone to raise money.DSonoma County is adding artificial intelligence to its wildfire fighting. The county has entered into an agreement with the South Korean firm Alchera to equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software that detects wildfire activity and then issues a warning to authorities.The technology examines past and current images of terrain (地形;地势) and searches for certain changes, such as flames burning in darkness, said Chris Godley, the county’s director of emergency management. But emergency workers will first have to“teach”the system to distinguish between images that show fire smoke, and others that might show clouds, fog etc. The software will use feedback from humans to improve its algorithm(算法) and will eventually be able to detect fires on its own — or at least that’s what county officials hope.“It’s kind of like learning how to read,”Godley said. “What letters can I put together to make up a word?” The county activated the technology Wednesday and received 16 positive reports of smoke — all of which turned out to be permitted burns, he said. Once a seasonal ban on controlled burns goes into effect in April or May, thecounty plans to speed up the testing and feedback phase. The hope is that by November, the system will no longer need to be taught and can start providing reliable intelligence. Godley said. “It’s going to take us a while to make sure weget the bugs outand that we really can depend on it because ultimately this is a lifesaving mission.”The technology is intended to help officials investigate potential fire starts earlier so they can get personnel out to them more quickly and issue necessary warnings. Officials expect other places will adopt it if the technology is successful, particularly because it plugs into the camera network that’s already in place statewide.“We ultimately believe its potential could be realized in a year or two,” Godley said. “And it could really havea dramatic impact here in California.”12. What does the system first have to do before being put into work?A. Equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software.B. Learn to tell between images of fire smoke and other pictures.C. Use feedbacks to improve its ability to detect fire independently.D. Examine images of the terrain and search for any possible changes.13. What do local officials expect the technology to accomplish?A. Be able to make positive reports of smoke.B. Be able to control seasonal burns in the area.C. Help them spot potential fire starts as soon as possible.D. Learn how to distinguish pictures of flames from clouds.14. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?A. kill all the bugs.B. get rid of mistakesC. provide reliable informationD. speed up testing process15. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. AI is creating a dramatic impact in California.B. AI is applied to monitor terrains in California.C. A new tool to help detect wildfire in California.D. A new way to put an end to wildfire in California.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Likewise, behind every seemingly stunning success, there can be failures, disappointments, and embarrassments. When the whole world is crazy for JK Rowling’s Harry Potter stories, rarely do people know it was after the books had been turned down 12 times by the publisher that they finally came out.

2019-2020学年江苏省天一中学高三英语期中考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项APersonal Time Off(PTO)is something my wife and I created after having kids. We learned that，over time，a full life can leave little time for personal rest and for reflection，hanging out with friends，or just being“off. ”So，after a number of years，we make a change. If I can persuade you to take your own PTO，then these might help.■Schedule itFirst of all，one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it. ”Sounds easy enough，but life gets complicated managing full-time work and full-time family. Put yourPTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.■Be flexible and strictIf you can schedule PTO at the same time each week，then all the better. Because our calendar can get rather full，flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity. But being strict in actually taking the time each week is more important. Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.■Take enough timeMy typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer. Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what I’m doing. The goal is to spend enough time away to1et your shoulders drop.■Do what you want to doRemember，PTO time is about personal time to do what you want to do，not what you have to do. PTO time is about relaxation. Grab a friend and get a beer. Work can wait until tomorrow.1.What can be the first step to take the PTO?A.Persuade the family.B.Have a personal rest.C.Ask friends for advice.D.Make a time plan.2.What does the underlined part“let your shoulders drop”probably mean?A.Get you more focused.B.Have you feel relaxed.C.Shake your shoulders often.D.Make you feel more stressed.3.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Tips on how to take your time offB.Skills to manage work and familyC.Advice on how to free yourselfD.Ways of scheduling your workBAccording to Oxford Dictionaries, morality means: “Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.” Though morality is a rather subjective subject, there are some principles that are universal across all cultures found by an Oxford University study: “help your family, help your group, return favors, be brave, obey superiors, divide resources fairly, and respect others’ property”. The fact that these morals are found across 60 cultures from around the world demonstrates that morality, though subjective, is the cornerstone of keeping our societies together. Here are some reasons to be moral: without morality, a social life is almost impossible to maintain; having a good reputation and having a clear conscience is psychologically healthy; and most philosophies regard unselfish and principled behavior as important.There is no doubt that without morals, a society cannot function effectively. A confused situation would appear, According to the Society of Morality, “We are social animals, and the actions we take-the things we do and the things we don’t do-have consequences on our environments and on the others around us. As a result, we need to be able to govern our behavior in the near term so as not to injure ourselves or our community in the long term. This system of controlling our actions and our thoughts in order to operate in a community is what we often refer to as morality”. Therefore, we need a set of morals in order to operate within a social circle and a social environment. Acting immoral usually results in being excluded from social activities or being avoided by a society based on laws and cultural standards. Besides acting moral having a sociological need, it also has a psychological basis. Most people are concerned to some extent about their reputation. According to PsyPost, “A lot of economic models of human behavior assume that people are only rational (理性的) when they narrowly pursue their own self-interest, but history shows us that people are also tremendously concerned with being and appearing moral”. So, the fear of one’s reputation being damaged is often a strong motivator to be moral. And if someonehas been immoral,most people go out of their way to make sure no one finds out, or to correct the behavior in order to not be caught. This goes in line with conscience as well. People generally feel in a better psychological state if they feel that their conscience is clean. A dirty conscience can result in a lack of sleep, anxiety, internal stress, and evenillness.On the side of philosophy, the study of ethics (伦理) comes into play. Most philosophers agree that one should rationally choose a set of standards of behavior in order to function. Though there is moral relativism, there are universal anthropological (人类学的) morals, as mentioned in the introduction. By the nature of our societies and cultures, we choose what we believe is right and wrong. But surprising, this rational behavior comes to a general agreement on morals. So, there is a fine line between moral relativism and moral absolutism. But the main thing to take away from this discussion is that philosophers generally believe that each individual has the right to rationally come up with a set of ethics to live by, and that it is healthy to do so.4. The author discusses morality (paragraph 1) in order to ________.A. explain the relationship between morality and cultureB. describe the moral rules found all around the worldC. contrast the distinction between right and wrongD. introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality5. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. acting moral allows us to fit into group betterB. morality brings the system of controlling behaviorC. contrast the distinction between right and wrongD. introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality6. Which of the following is the psychological basis for acting moral?A pursuit of self-interest. B. a clean conscience.C. The concern about reputation.D. a dirty conscience.7. What does the author advise us to do according to the last paragraph?A. To reach a general agreement on morals based on ethics.B. to carve one’s own sense of ethics to operate in this world.C. To choose between moral relativism and moral absolutism.D. To exclude philosophers’ beliefs and solution as well.C“My P.E. teacher taught me maths.”It has been a common joke for years but when a P.E. teacher applied for the head-teacher job, many parents worried that “the joke could come true”. Some parents asked, “Does the P.E. teacher know maths and English?If not, how is he supposed to tutor the students?” But there were still parentswho believed P.E. teachers had more time to discipline the students since they didn’t have many classes.This concern is actually a “subject bias”, that is, choosing a P.E. teacher as the head-teacher is not good for the students’ grades since he doesn’t know Chinese, maths, or English. It is acceptable for Chinese teachers, maths teachers and English teachers to be head-teachers because these subjects are important to entrance exams and scores. Such a concern reflects parents’ anxiety in the current educational environment, which tends to link the head-teacher’s responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the children’s performances in the subject.Many people care about their kids’ academic performances only. They don’t care about their kids’ P.E. performance at all. Even if kids have P.E. classes, parents care little. P.E. teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers. Of course, if students, P.E. performance is related to grades and entrance exams, parents won’t mind “a P.E. teacher being the head-teacher”.At the moment, P.E. is gradually included in entrance exams.In terms of high school entrance examination,Guangzhouwill launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P.E. performance and Health examination in 2021, raising the score to 70 points.In terms of the college entrance examination, universities having the right of independent enrollments added P.E. tests to their entrance exams in 2019. This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability, which are important aspects of a student’s overall quality, may be included in the college entrance examination in the future.We hope that it’s a trend for P.E. teachers, music teachers and art teachers to become head-teachers.8. By saying “My P.E. teacher taught me maths”, what does the author intend to show us?A. It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality.B. P.E. teachers hardly assist students in maths.C. P.E. teachers are good at teaching maths..D. Parents doubt the ability of P.E. teacher.9. We can infer from paragraph 2 that a P.E. teacher .A. is of little benefit for students’ academic performanceB. is humbler than Chinese, math or English teachersC. reflects whether the school cares about the classD. gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system10. Why doesGuangzhouraise proportion of P.E. performance in high school entrance examination?A. To raise students’ awareness of physical health.B. To call on parents to pay attention to P.E. teachers.C. To test the overall ability of high school students.D. To make P.E. teachers equal with other teachers.11. What opinion does the author hold towards P.E. teachers working as head-teachers?A. Neutral.B. Unexpected.C. Supportive.D. Critical.DWhen Alex Linwas 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper, which said that people were burying old computers in backyards, throwing TVs into streams, and dumping (丢弃) cell phones in the garbage. This was dangerous because e-waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies and people.Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN-the Westerly Innovations Network. Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before.But what could they do about this project with e-waste? The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose(处置) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. Then, they sent out a Survey and found only one in eight know what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 9, 500 kilograms of e-waste. The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town. After some research, they’d learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling. So, they began learning to retrofit (翻新) computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn’t have their own. In this way, they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time.For a lasting solution to e-waste, the drop-off center wasn’t enough. Lawswould have to be passed. In 2016, WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town, which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste. The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e-waste. Because of the work of WIN, more and more people, like Alex and his team, are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s harmful garbage.”12. What was Alex’s worry after he read the article?A. The littering of e-waste.B. The recycling of plastic.C. The change of environment.D. At 11 p.m. on Monday.13. What did Alex do to start the project?A. Set up WIN.B. Collect information.C. Ask friends for help.D. The overuse of old computer.14. Which can best describe the way Alex and his team did their work?A. Traditional.B. Competitive.C. Scientific.D. Convenient.15. What message does the story convey?A. There is no end to perfection.B. success comes through failure.C. Every positive attitude has a reward.D. young people can make a big difference.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

landmarks from Roman and medieval times，you may feel you've landed back in time，but the splendid row houses and people hustling about on smart﹣phones brings you out of that fantasy．Bath somehow weaves together threads of small﹣town life with metropolitan style．It has galleries，museums and theaters．It's a college town anchored by the University of Bath．And it is a UNESCO World Heritage site．Even on a mere day trip from London，just 90 minutes away by train，Bath bubbles over with charm．Bath AbbeyAn impressive landmark in the center of town，Bath Abbey is the third place of worship to occupy this site in 1，200 years．The first church，built in 757，was replaced by a cathedral soon after the Norman conquest of England in 1066．That one gave way in the 15th century to the Abbey that's there today．Walk inside and eye the ceiling and stained glass windows showing 56 scenes from Christ's life．A floor plate marks Queen Elizabeth II's 1973 visit．Tours of the church tower are available．Roman BathsThe Roman Baths date back to the year 70，with a pool of natural，hot spring water called the Great Bath located below street level．You can see the steam swirling on the street above．People dressed in period clothing﹣such as a Roman soldier or stone mason﹣stand in the archways．The complex includes several underground spaces and displays．The self﹣guided audio tour thoroughly explains how the citizens of Aquae Sulis （the Roman name given to Bath）socialized，worked and worshipped．At the end of the tour，visitors can sample some of that refreshing water．Jane Austen CentreNovelist Jane Austen lived with family in Bath between 1801 and 1806．Avid readers of Austen's work know that Bath was a prominent setting in two of her books，Persuasion and Northanger Abbey．The Jane Austen Centre，a three﹣story building on Gay Street has a permanent exhibit and tea room．The exhibit offers two floors of clothes，anecdotes about what daily life would have been like for Austen in Bath．You can end your wandering with afternoon tea in the third﹣floor Regency Tea Room．Royal CrescentThis half﹣moon formation of Georgian townhouses is one of Bath's most famous architectural masterpieces，an arc﹣shaped cluster of buildings set behind a green field．The first home，No.1 Royal Crescent，where former Parliament member Henry Sanford lived in the late 1700s，is also a museum．Rooms are furnished in 18th century style，with a glimpse of the upstairs﹣downstairs lifestyle of the era（think Downton Abbey but 150 years earlier）．31．According to the article，the following aspects of Bath are covered EXCEPT．A．historyB．architectureC．transportationD．accommodation32．Which of the following statement is INCORRECT according to the passage？A．Bath Abbey occupied the site in the 15th century after several historical changes．B．The Roman Baths are featured by a hot spring water，where you can tour around with the local guide．C．Two of Jane Austin's books were set in Bath，where she lived for 5 years．D．The rooms in No.1 Royal Crescent are furnished in 18th century style，resembling that of Downton Abbey．There are a couple of ways to forecast the destructive potential of a hurricane so that people in the way can take adequate precautions．Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds，but the estimates are often way off the mark．Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly，but the flights are costly．Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way：listening to a storm underwater．In a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters，Nicholas C．Makris and a former graduate student，Joshua D．Wilson，report a strong connection between the intensity of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the mid﹣Atlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it．They say that such microphones，known as hydrophones，could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane force．Dr．Makris and Dr Wilson，who are now with Applied Physical Sciences Corporation，worked out the theory of underwater acoustic monitoring of storms in a 2005 paper．"To be very frank with you，it's a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater．" Dr．Makris said．The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating are bubbles （气泡振动）．The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory，and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2，500 feet by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration．It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999，and a hurricane﹣hunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time．The hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storm's outside wind "wall" passed over，and again when the inside wall，the most destructive part of the storm near the eye，passed over．"We got a beautiful connection，" Dr．Makris said，"between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraft．"Dr．Makris is conducting additional experiments，working with the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico．The eventual goal，he said，would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that could be easily laid by plane or ship in the path of a coming storm．33．It can be inferred from the passage that．A．The scientists didn't gain any support from different fields．B．Dr．Makris and Dr．Wilson have figured out what makes storms noisy underwater．C．The scientists have found the relationship between the changes of sound intensity and the force of the hurricane．D．There are several creative ways for people to forecast the force of the coming hurricane．34．Why is Dr．Makris now making other experiments with the help of the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico？A．To place permanent hydrophones in some zones．B．To collect more images of cloud patterns．C．To be secure in carrying out their experiments．D．To get more information from the hurricane﹣hunter planes．35．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？A．Ways to Stop the Destructive Force of a HurricaneB．Connection between the Intensity of Sound and the Wind Power of a Hurricane C．Hydrophones，Safe but Expensive Means of Estimating Hurricane Force D．Measuring a Hurricane by Sound UnderwaterI have had a lifelong fascination﹣call it obsession if you like﹣with communication，with making links to other places，other cultures，other worlds．The roots of this obsession have often puzzled me．I am not﹣never have been﹣a gregarious person．Quite the opposite，I was a solitary child and my classmates at school and university always thought of me as a loner．I was never crazy about the noisy solidarity of social gatherings．So why was I possessed of a desire to make contact with distant places？It can partly be explained by the start I had in life．I grew up on what seemed at the time like the edge of the world﹣in a remote part of rural Ireland，in a household with few books or magazines，and no television．Foreign travel was unheard of．Apart from those who emigrated to Great Britain or the United States，virtually nobody we knew had ever been abroad．Nobody ever went overseas on holiday，and no foreign languages were taught in the schools I attended﹣with the exception of Latin．We lived in a closed society that thought of itself as self﹣sufficient．There was however one chink of light in the suffocating gloom﹣the radio，which we called "the wireless．" It was，by modern standards，a huge apparatus powered by valves﹣which is why it took some time to warm up﹣and a "magic eye" tuning indicator﹣a greenish glass circle that winked at you as the signal waxed or waned．The best thing about our wireless，though，was that it had a shortwave band．This was the source of endless fascination to me，because it meant that even with this primitive device one could listen to the world．At first I couldn't understand how it worked．Why was reception so much better at night？Why was it so infuriatingly variable？I asked my father，who looked evasive and just said it had something to do with "the whachamacallit sphere" （he always called complicated things the whachamacallit），but this gave me enough of a steer to go to the local library and startdigging．In due course I discovered that he was referring to the ionosphere﹣a layer of charged particles high up at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere that acts as a kind of reflector for radio waves of certain frequencies．The reason shortwave radio could travel such huge distances was that it used the ionosphere to bounce signals round the world﹣which was why radio hams in Latin America or Australia could sometimes be heard by a young boy on the western seaboard of Ireland．Signals from such distant shores were more likely to get through at night because then the ionosphere was higher and transmission over longer distances was possible．I was spellbound by this discovery of how technology could piggyback on a natural phenomenon to push forward low﹣power signals through immense distances．But most of all I was entranced by the idea of shortwave radio，for this was a technology which belonged not to great corporations or governments，but to people．It was possible，my father explained，to obtain a license to operate your own shortwave radio station．And all over the globe people held such licenses，which enabled them to sit in their back rooms and broadcast to the whole world．The world suddenly seemed wide open to me．36．The second paragraph primarily serves to．A．reveal the author's attitude toward foreign culturesB．present information that sheds light on a certain preoccupationC．to display the author's nostalgia for his adolescenceD．foreshadow the crucial difference between the author and his father37．The author considers his father's answer （in Paragraph 3）to be．A．incomplete but helpfulB．humorous but meaningfulC．lighthearted yet concernedD．silly and confusing38．Which of the following，if true，would most weaken the claim of operating a shortwave radio station？A．Many governments around the world do not regulate shortwave usersB．Shortwave equipment is very inexpensive and is getting cheaper all the timeC．Most individuals who apply for shortwave licenses are turned down．D．Communications experts predict that the Internet will eventually replace shortwave radio．39．The passage is primarily about the author's．A．decision to pursue a career in scienceB．acceptance of his family's sheltered outlookC．devotion to the study of emerging technologyD．discovery of a medium's liberating potential四、开放性作文40．请认真阅读下面有关高铁的相关文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150字左右的文章．In recent years，a number of China's technological innovations have been making their way in the world．Among them，four stand out and acquire a reputation as China's "four new great inventions" of modern times，namely High Speed Railway，Alipay，shared bicycles ，and e﹣commerce．High Speed Railway is a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic，"High speed rail travel" has been called the most revolutionary means of transport of the late 20th century and early 21st century．Today，China's high﹣speed railway or CRH，is the best example of such "revolutionary means of transport"．In fact，CRH only began to develop in early 2004，when China issued its "Mid and Long﹣term Railway Network Plan"，the first such development in China's history．It was in little more than six years that China's railway realized its leap﹣forward，which made it possible for China to head into "an era of high﹣speed railway"．As the American publication "Newsweek" put it：China is now engaged in a "railway revolution"．These 350 kilometer per hour high﹣speed railway trains have made the country's vast territory "substantially smaller"，and changed the country economically．（写作内容）1．用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容；2．就高铁给我们生活带来的变化谈谈你的见解；3．你眼中的高铁前景如何．（写作要求）1．作文中可以利用了解到的知识，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；2．文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．3．不必写标题．______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PololiC. FeastD. La RotisserieBI realized something this morning. I have been writing now for 34 years .It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally（毫不夸张地）hundreds of books・I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share・I tried to ignore it, but as any writer will tell you once the ideas awake n in side of you they won't leave you alone until you write them down. I didn't have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everythi ng that was burning in side of me.When I was done I didrTt know how to share it. There was no in ter net back the n, no smart phon es, and no social media・I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write・ I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lies in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well・ I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do we are writing our own life story.Lance Wubbels once wrote: H l hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to writewith love・ Day by day, line by line, write it well.11 24.As a boy, when the author found he had something to share, ________ ・A.he wrote it downB.he ignored itC.he shared it on social mediaD.he told it to a writer25.How did the author begin his writing career?A.He was hired as a newspaper editor.B.He put his stories online by himself.C.He self-published two books・D.He was helped by a local newspaper editor.26.What does the author think of writing?A.Writing takes practice and efforts.B.Writi ng can ben efit on eself and others ・C.Writing helps people tell right from wrong・D.Only with a pen can one write his life story.27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Way to be a WriterB.A Way to Share IdeasC.Living is WritingD.Writing is the Source of LoveCDo you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?If yes, you're not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out)・ They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates ・Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits.As Sameer Samat, US tech company vice president of product management, said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer con fere nee on May 8, 70% of people don't want to spend so much time on their pho nes.This is why during the conferenee Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new versio n of its An droid operati ng system ・ This n ew app in eludes well-bei ng functions that aim to help users man age the time they spend on their digital devices・It all starts with a bird's-eye view・ Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits・ For example, users can see how many times they've unlocked their phone and how many times they've checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day・Once the users see this in forma 廿on, they'll be able to make some changes・ With the App Timer functions, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they've hit the limit, they worft be able to launch the app until the next day・But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they" re still likely to be drawn in by notifications （通矢口）. This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically sile nces in comi ng calls and no tificati ons when a user puts his/her phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time in stead of losing hours using their smartph on es, these new functions are just one way of doing that・After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to useyour willpower?28.People under the pressure of FOMO may ________ ・A.have trouble with their sleepB・ find it hard to focus on any thingC.be addicted to their mobile phonesD.prefer to download the latest apps29.What in spires Google to launch Dashboard?A.The limited functions of curre nt An droid syste m.B・ People's complaint about their smartphones.C.Samat's impressive speech at a con fere nee.D.Mobileph one users' great dema nd.30. _______ can track users' phone habits in detail・A. AndroidB. Timer C・ ShushD. Dashboard31.What can be learned from the passage?A. Dashboard turned out to be popular.B・ Dashboard is a perfect choice to manage time properly.C. Strong willpower is the easiest way to avoid smartphone addiction.D. People are exploring other ways to stop overusing smartpho nes.DWild animals are known to listen to each other for warnings that predators are near. Some birds, for example, flee when neighbors make a loud noise to announce a snake's presenee.The fairy wren is a small Australian songbird・ It is not born knowing the n languages" of other birds・But recent research says it can learn the meaning of a few im porta nt sounds.An drew Radford is a biologist at the Un iversity of Bristol in England and co-writer of the new report published in early August in the journal Current Biology・He told the Associated Press, M We knew before that some animals can translate the meanings of other species1 "foreign languages/ but we did not know how that 'Ianguage learning' came about.11Birds have several ways of learning life skills・Some knowledge is genetically passed down by their parents and some comes from direct experienee with the world. But Radford and other scientists are exploring a third kind of knowledge: information from fellows.Radford and researchers at the Australian NationalUniversity carried out the study in the country's National Bota nic Garde ns in Canberra.They attached to their bodies specially-designed, sound-producing equipment called "tweeter speakers." They wan ted to see if fairy wrens would react to sounds of other birds even if they could not see them・The scientists first played the birds two recorded sounds that they likely had never heard before・ One was a warning cry of a thornbill, a bird not native to Australia. The other was a computer-generated bird sound called “buz 乙“When the 16 fairy wrens in the study first heard the sounds, they had no special reaction. The scientists then tried to train half of the birds to recognize the thornbi『s cry as a warning sound. They tried to train the other half to recognize the computer-generated "buzz” as a warning call ・After three days, the scientists tested what the birds had learned —and their students passed the test. The fairy wrens trained with the thornbilI's cry, fled when they heard it. The group trained with the buzz, fled when they heard that sound.

Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor．B. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work．C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8：30．D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems．CA single toy catches a child's attention for a limited period of time, but a box of items that allows a child to build their own toys will catch their imagination for years to come. This brilliant idea already exists in real product form, and it's called Toyi.Toyi is described as an eco-friendly creative building kit, and it recently won the well-known IF Design Award. It came from Istanbul, Turkish, where a young female designer named Elif Atmaca first came up with the idea for it when she wanted to help the kids living in disadvantaged areas. These children do not have access to the variety of interesting toys that wealthier children do.Toyi Atmaca's design allows children to transform what are around them into clever toys. It consists of sticks, junction parts, flexible connectors, toy body parts like feet, eyes, hands, and wheels that can be used to turn old water bottles, cups, boxes, towels, etc. into cute, clever, and unique playthings. This toy kit upcycles(升级利用) materials that would otherwise go to waste, turning a recycling bin into a treasure container.“Our initial target was to deliver Toyi kits to only disadvantaged children in Turkish,” Atmaca told the media. But during a research conducted with around300 children, .she realized that the restriction on being creative went beyond any boundary. “I saw that everything was planned and shaped by grown-ups, blocking the kids' imagination in a significant way,” said Atmaca.Atmaca concluded that each kid needed space where he or she could freely create. She explained the entire process should be left to kids’ creativity, reminding teachers and all grown-ups that child-led play was an excellent way for children to develop lifelong skills.Toyi's creators are now considering distributing the kits to as many children as possible around the world through different international NGOs. Atmaca notes that for each Toyi kit sold out, they will also donate one kit toa disadvantaged child through different partnerships around the world.8. Why did Atmaca design Toyi at first?A. To win the famous IF Design Award.B. To help poor kids make their own toys.C. To protect the environment in Istanbul.D. To recycle all the waste in the dustbin.9. Which is probably the product made with the toy kit of Toyi?A. A new picture of a young boy.B. A computer with high technology.C. A treasure container from a dustbin:D. A six-armed “robot” from a water bottle.10. How do the toy kits help improve the children's ability?A. It provides the kids various types of toys.B. It offers space for the kids’ creative minds.C. It changes the poor kids' living conditions.D. It teaches the kids to share joys with others.11. What is the new target for Atmaca and her partners?A. Donating toykits to more poor children.B. Selling toy kits to every kid in the world.C. Designing new toy kits for kids and adults.D. Doing further research on the kids' demands.DHaley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last yearshe bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some color1 ed markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to completeas we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”12. What did Haley use the plain white dress to do?A. To teach her students painting.B. To prepare for her presentation.C. To ask her students to draw on it.D. To help her students with their homework.13. What do we know about the finished dress?A. It took Haley by surprise.B. It is kept by Haley at home.C. It is the product of a new idea.D. It has enjoyed popularity online.14. What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley's example?A. Buy the same dress online.B. Give the kids enough time.C. Buy the same markers in Walmart.D. Leave the finished work untouched.15. Why did Haley carry out the project?A. To teach art to her students.B. To show her idea on Pinterest.C. To share it with other teachers.D. To exciteher students' creativity.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!8. What do we know about two- year- olds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They don't do all they're told.9. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They aren't easy to succeed.C. They don't make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.10. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving.C. Favorable.D. Carefree.11. What is the text?A. A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story.DA Singaporean company will feed airport food waste to mealworms before turning them into fish feed, aiming to cut the country's use of imported feed and offer a continuous alternative.Blue Aqua Internationalwill partner with Dnata, an air and travel services provider, to change organic waste at Singapore's Changi Airport into insect protein for aquacultural use, according to a statement Tuesday.The project looks to replace traditional fish and soybean meal as the main sources of protein for aquafeed. The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein. The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems. Using a small land and giving out less carbon, they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein. Ynsect SAS, a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets, attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie actor Robert Downey Jr. in a round of fund-raising last year.The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed, which is traditionally bought from abroad. The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030. It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then. Presently, less than 20 per cent of Singapore's food waste is recycled.As part of the partnership, Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed seafood for its catering service.12. What is the function of mealworms?A. To cut the use of imported fish feed.B. To eat food waste and make fish feed.C. To domestically produce animal feed.D. To replace traditional fish and soybean meal.13. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The producers of the feed.B. The purpose of the projectC. The advantages of the project.D. The composition of the feed.14. What can we infer about Singapore from Paragraph 5?A. It is a rich country.B. It is short of self-produced food.C. Its recycling rate is very high now.D. Its farmers don't support the deal.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A new way to produce fish feed.B.An introduction to a company.C. A plan to reduce food waste.D. A deal to protect farmers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
