江西省横峰中学高二上学期第10周周练英语试题 Word缺答案

横峰中学高三英语第十周周练一、阅读理解Comparing ourselves with others isn’t a recent phenomenon---it’s part of our culture. As soon as we’re able to form our own thoughts and opinions, we start comparing. Who’s taller? Who’s better at sports? Who has more friends?Unlike other childish habits, the urge to measure up(攀比) doesn’t ever really go away. In fact, it only increases when we become teens. “At a younger age, I found myself wanting to be cool and wondering why I wasn’t that cool,” said a junior student Michael Torres. “So I began doing what they did in order, to fit in with my own friends.”We are flooded with the message that we should compare ourselves with others. Magazines, advertisements, stores—it becomes all about what other people have or what they’ve ach ieved. Social media adds another player to the problem. Facebook, Twitter and QQ offer a constant stream of updates about the people around us. She got accepted to Harvard? He bought the brand new Nikes? They’re dating?“If I go on Facebook or twitter and read about how wonderful everyone else is, I’m not feeling good about myself. It’s going to make me feel worse,” said Mike Robbins, a senior student. “I try not to let things like that affect me, but in the modern world of technology it’s hard not to ta ke notice of what others are doing, and sometimes you want to be just like them.”Before you get caught up in the comparison game, keep in mind one very important detail: When it comes to social media, we often present only the things we want people to see---the good fortunes, happy moments, delicious desserts and best smiles.The deeper question is : Are people really posting things on social media that are true or are they simply doing it to present something to other people? It’s what we do in our culture: “Look how great I am,” “Look how smart I am,” “Look how happy I am,” and sometimes that’s true, but in a lot of cases, it’s not.While comparing ourselves to others can inspire us to get ahead and work harder, it can also drive us crazy. Next time you find yourself wondering if you measure up, remember this: What we have is not a measure of who we are. We already have worth as an individual when we’re born.Everything else is what people think of us.21. When do we start to compare ourselves with others?A. When we go to junior schoolsB. When we were born into the worldC. When we have Facebook or TweeterD. When we have thoughts and opinions22. According to the author, why would people like to post wonderful things on social media?A. To show off their livesB. To get advice from readersC. To share happiness with othersD. To communicate useful information23.The author presents the phenomenon of the comparison by _________.A. listing a lot of figuresB. giving facts and examplesC. providing scientific findingsD. comparing famous persons’ opinions24.From the passage, we learn that the author ________ comparison with others.A. supportsB. ignoresC. opposesD. respectsThe movies just wouldn’t be the same without the warm buttery taste of popcorn(爆米花). Amazingly, this delicious treat started its life as a corn kernel（玉米粒）---and not from just any corn. Popcorn is a type of sweet corn that was originally grown in Mexico and spread to China, India and elsewhere. It is the only kind of corn that will pop. Today, most of the world’s popcorn is grown in the United States.Every popcorn kernel contains a tiny drop of water, surrounded by soft starch (淀粉). When the popcorn is heated, the water turns into steam. This puts pressure on the surrounding hard kernel, forcing it to explode. The soft starch increases about 40 times in size as the corn kernel turns itself inside out.In the 1500s popcorn was an important food source for the Aztec Indians of central and southern Mexico. But it wasn’t only food. It was also used in ceremonies or on red dresses and in necklaces. By the time the Europeans arrived in America, popcorn had spread through most of the American Indians.Some early American settlers ate popcorn with cream and sugar for breakfast. But it wasn’t until the late 1800s that popcorn became popular. The demand for popcorn increased and farmersbegan farming popcorn. The first mobile popping machine was invented in 1885, and popcorn was sold by street sellers much like hot dogs that are sold today.During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the popcorn business still thrived as people could still afford it. Then in the 1950s television arrived and popcorn consumption decreased. People stayed home and stopped going to the theatre. But the link between movies and popcorn had already existed. Soon people began making popcorn at home on the stove and, later, microwave popcorn was introduced.Today the movies have regained popularity and popcorn has once again become the favorite.25. Popcorn was first planted in________.A. ChinaB. AmericaC. IndiaD. Mexico26. Why does the corn kernel pop when heated?A. Because it is covered with soft starch.B. Because the pressure inside is too big.C. Because the starch becomes bigger in size.D. Because there is water inside the kernel.27. We can know from the passage that________.A. popcorn began to be farmed in the late 1800sB. popcorn was only a kind of food in the 1500sC. hot dogs used to be sold by street sellersD. people stop eating popcorn while watching movies now28. The underlined word “thrived” in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”.A. started to disappearB. was seriously affectedC. suffered a lotD. developed very well二、七选五It’s Time to Put it AwayYour smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it. Don’t be addicted to it. Put your phone away, OK?1.Cyber SicknessAlso called “digital motion sickness”, symptoms that range from headaches to woozy feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action-packed video on your screen. 36 Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness.2. Text ClawIt is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction felt in the fingers, wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use. 37 . So if you’re always on your phone, it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms.3. Eye Strain(疲劳)Do you stare at a screen for hours on end? If you’re reading this, you very well might suffer eye strain. 38 Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes, headaches and tiredness, which can decrease your productivity. Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.4. Text NextSimilar to the claw, text neck—discomfort in the neck and spine---happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone. 39 . Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you’re on your phone---and bending it back to an upright position---can help reduce the risk of text neck.5.Pedestrian SafetyPedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking. While focused on the cyber world, many of us can lose reality of the physical one. Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is compromised by technology, and the risks are scary.40 .A. We should taking breaks for a walkB. The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputsC. Remember that pedestrian safety is more important than smart phoneD. The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger ageE. To avoid injury or worse, put your phone away until you’ve reached a safe spotF. Any specific motor activity can cause pain in tendons（筋）and muscles when done repeatedlyG. Any activity that requires active use of your eyes—driving and reading included—can cause eye tiredness三、完形填空After college graduation, I did all kinds of work. Now I am a sales agent and visit my customers all over England. That was a cold February morning and I was 41 to visit a store at9 am. I parked my car, bundled my scarf around me and 42 up the street towards his shop front.The street where his store was 43 was partially blocked by two large, ruddy faced workmen who were tearing up the concrete. I prepared myself for the 44 cat calls(起哄). I was up early, out in the cold, and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn’t even 45 .Then I stopped and 46 my own father. Both he and my grandfather had 47 much of their early careers working outside in similar jobs before they 48 and became engineers. I recalled how hard Dad worked, in all kinds of 49 ; how he’d come home with sunburn or frosting(冻伤). I realized that if I felt cold then these two guys were probably 50 , given that it looked as though they’d already been 51 for hours.My customer’s shop wasn’t open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his 52 . I went to a coffee shop around the corner, 53 myself a hot chocolate, then two more with whipped cream.I made my 54 down the street towards the workmen. One of them turned to me with a wide smile and 55 me with a joke “Oh love, you shouldn’t have!” To his 56 , I passed him the tray with the two 57 chocolates. I replied, “Maybe not. 58 it’s too cold to be working outside today.”I got two looks of genuine(真诚的) 59 , and a timely reminder that it’s as easy to be60 as it is to prejudge, but the former is so much nicer! So I realize the things we do seem so small but important and do what we can to make this world better.41. A. owing B. due C. used D. about42. A. wandered B. traveled C. stopped D. headed43.

However, when I was on the stage I was so much nervous that I made several mistakes while playing. My performance was a completely failure!

Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, ________ . Here's a list of tips from Carey, a scientist, for getting the most out of your study time.________.Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve（检索）information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool,” Carey says. But psychologists have found self-tests sl ow down the forgetting of material you've studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it,” Carey says, “you do better than if you study it twice over.”Move around________ . “If you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be forming multiple associations for the same material. So it's better anchored in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”Mix it upThink about a football who does strength training, speed training and drills. Carey says alternating between different facets facts of a subject in a single sitting can “leave a deeper impression on the brain”. For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. ________ .Space it outInformation learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. So if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hour-long study sessions. “There's no doubt that you can cram for（突击备考）an exam.” Carey says, “________. And once it's gone, “it's gone. You're not getting it back.”A. Test yourselfB. Study it and practice moreC. and it turns out that some of them are in great helpD. but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is wrongE. The problem is that it's so easy to forget what you just crammedF. Changing up where you study can help you keep more informationG. Spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs isn't effective【答案】 D；A；F；G；E【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何充分利用你的学习时间的几点建议。

2018-2019学年度上学期高三年级周练（第10周）英语试卷命题人:余文娟满分：100分考试时间：45/60分钟一、阅读理解：（每小题2.5分，共20分）AOver a hundred years ago in 1911, something strange was found in the glaciers of Antarctica. Grilffith Taylor—an Australian geologist, had discovered a blood red steam pouring out of the ice cascades（瀑布）of Talor Glacier! Popularly known as the Blood Falls, scientists had not been able to find the reason behind the blood red liquid flowing through the ice---until recently. The mystery of the Blood Falls had finally been solved.When these falls were first discovered, scientists had believed that the red colour came from a large amount of red algae（海藻）concentrated in the water. Red algae contain a pigment（色素）which reflects red light, making the algae appear red.This theory made sense, until it was later found that algae do not play a part in the red color of the flowing liquid at all. What really causes Talor Glacier’s waters appear blood red, is the presence of iron oxide in the liquid. The waters of the blood falls are rich in salt and iron content, and when this water comes in contact with the air, it turns red—just like rust! The water in these falls is often referred to as “brine” by scientists because of the high salt content in the water.This reasoning behind the red colors of the falls was found back in 2003. However, the entire mystery had not yet been solved. How is it then, that the Blood Falls are not frozen?Researchers at the University of Colorado and University of Alaska found that inside the glacier, there was a network of channels and reservoirs that move the water around. Salt water has a lower freezing temperature. In addition, when any substance undergoes a change in state, it gives off heat. Therefore, the brine actually warm itself up while it’s freezing! How this works, is that when the brine is flowing through the Talor Glacier, some of it does freeze. As a result of changing state fromliquid to ice, the brine gives off heat. This heat is enough to keep the rest of the rest of the brine in liquid form, which is why it flows out of the glacier.Incredible new chemistry facts found, any mystery solved!21. According to the text, the red algae theory was once considered ________.A. ridiculousB. reasonableC. impracticalD. complex22. Why does the Blood Falls look red in color?A. Because there is too much salt and iron in its water.B. Because its liquid is rich in red algae.C. Because the following liquid reflects and sunlightD. Because the air is thin and rare in Antarctica.23. What is the main reason for the Blood Fall’s notfreezing?A. The water continued flowing constantly.B. There is too much salt in the water.C. The brine gives off heat while freezingD. Temperatures aren’t high enough for flowing water.24. What is the passage mainly about?A. The discovery of the blood glacier.B. The birth of the Talor Glacier.C. The flowing red water in Antarctica.D. The mystery of the Blood Falls.BPunks, Ravers, Mods and Teddy Boys. No, these aren't some hot new bands, but the names of a number of British youth subcultures(亚文化) from the last 70 years.Youth Club, a UK not-for-profit organization, released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain s recent history."A catalyst(催化剂) for creativity on the worldwide stage, British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music, fashion and creativity across the globe," it wroteon its website.These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young "punks" - people dressed in ripped denim(破洞牛仔裤), leather jackets, body piercings(穿孔) and with brightly-dyed hair—on the streets. And in the90s, “ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.So, what was the reason behind these subcultures?"On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints(约束)of society, "wrote lan Youngs, BBC entertainment reporter. "Unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval (剧变)added fuel to their fires."Youth subcultures have all but disappeared in the West. Some experts believe the reason for this is the instant and low-priced availability of music and clothing in the internet age."Fashion and music, they’re much cheaper and they’re much faster today, " Ruth Adams, a culture lecturer at Kings College London told The Guardian."When I was a teenager, you had to stick to one type of music or fashion, because it cost more money. Now, it' s all a bit more blurry(模糊不清的),” she said, believing that it's harder to figure out someone's personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them.Despite this, Adams believes that today’s young people are still finding their own way to express themselves, but in a more modern way."It's certainly happening online," she said. "It's a lot easier to use personas(伪装) online just by showcasing certain types of mysterious knowledge."25. According to the text, British youth subcultures____.A. could be traced back to the 1970sB. were started by Youth Club to promote creativityC. were a way for youth to express their identitiesD. had a greater impact on fashion than music26. What contributed to the popularity of these youth subcultures?a. Young people's desire for freedom and fun.b. Young people's longing for fame and wealth.c. The social pressure young people suffered.d. The easy access to music and clothing.A. a bB. a cC. b dD. c d27. Which of the following would Ruth Adams probably agree with?A. Music and fashion trends develop too fast for young people to follow today.B. Young people today are less willing to express themselves as her peers did.C. Young people today are less interested in music and fashion than her peersused to be.D. The internet makes it harder to figure out the personalities of young people today.28. What's the author' s attitude toward subcultures?A. ObjectiveB. NegativeC. DoubtfulD. SupportiveC(附加题)Bats are the only mammals(哺乳动物) that can fly a great distance, but they have another ability. Many bats live a very long time for an animal of their size. European researchers are studying bats to understand why they lives0 long. They hope to make discoveries aimed at fighting the aging process in human beings.Last week, the group of scientists said they had identified important biological qualities in some bat species. The group studied bat chromosomes(染色体), a line of genes found in the nucleus(细胞核) of cells. The scientists were most interested in structures connected to the ends of the chromosomes. They are called telomeres(端粒), which protect the ends of chromosomes and shorten each time a cell divides. Scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to breakdown. They say this is what causes aging.The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species. The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years. Of these animals ，thegreater mouse-eared bat generally lived the longest, an average of 37 years. The scientists said this and a related species, which are grouped together under the name Myotis, had telomeres that did not shorten with age. Another Myotis bat holds the record for oldest age, reaching 41years. The scientists’ findings suggest that these bats cells have the ability to maintain and repair their telomeres. This, they said, helps guard against the aging process.Based on its body size, a bat like the greater mouse-eared bat would be expected to live four years. But, these mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that. The scientists found that only 19 species of mammals live longer than humans when their body size is considered. Eighteen of these are bats.29. European researchers are studying bats mainly hoping to .A. learn the living habit of bats.B. find out why bats enjoy a long life.C. try to understand why bats can fly as a mammalD. discover a good way to prevent human beings from aging.30. What does the second paragraph mainly explain to us?A. The structures of bats’ chromosomes.B. What cause aging biologically.C. The functions of telomeres.D. What causes cells to break down.31.The greater mouse-eared bat and Myotis bat live so long because .A. they are grouped together under the name MyoisB. their telomeres are decreasing with ageC. their ells are able to keep up and fix their telomeresD. their bodies produce more telomeres than human beings32. From the last paragraph, we can infer that. .A. bats live 10 times longer that human beingsB. bats enjoy the longest life among mammalsC. bats like the greater mouse-eared bat should have lived longerD. Most bats live longer than human beings considering their body sizeD（附加题）On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenya’s national parks to try to ha ve a look at the"big five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wi ldlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas, They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.33. How did Kasaine track lions?A. By working together with tourists.B. By running after them all the time.C. By going to school every day.D. By studying their paw prints.34. What does the underlined word "it”in the last paragraph refer to?A. Kenya’s economic development.B. People’s leaving their origin al homes.C. Kenya’s second-largest income source.D. Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Wildlife protection in KenyaB. Meeting a dangerous animalC. Wilson Kasaine’s wise choiceD. Learning to live with lions第二部分（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。

江西省横峰县横峰中学2016届高三英语上学期第10周周练一、阅读理解第一节AAs the world prepares to mark the 100th anniversary of InternationalWomen’s Day on March 8,2010, a new report details the progress andchallenges girls face in getting an education.The report—from the Education for All Fast TrackInitiative—highlights the importance of girls’ education for economicand social development. It follows progress in Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Mauritania, Mozambique and Niger.Prema Clarke, author of Fast­tracking Girls’ Educ ation, says, “Progress for girls’education is that they can leave their homes, leave their families and come to a place to study and to learn. And that’s a big achievement because otherwise these girls have to stay at home, looking after their brothers and sisters, doing the cooking or doing the cleaning.〞She says progress toward the Millennium Development Goals and those of Education for All is “allowing and enabling girls and forcing countries to look at this issue(问题)and to ensure that interventions(干预)help girls attend school.〞BenefitsImproving education for girls brings many benefits, says Clarke. “It means that girls can then enter the workforce. They can look after their own families much more effectively. They can prevent child death rate. They can educate their own girl children when they begin to expand their own families.〞 Studies show that having an educated female population helps to improve a country’s health and economic well­being.WarningsThe report says, “In developing countries, too man y girls are not in school, and many girls face continuing health risks and danger just walking to class.〞“Especially in the fragile and post­conflict countries and in many of the African countries, this is a real issue，〞 she says. Till now, the interventions have been so focused on providingschooling and providing teachers, etc. And now I think there is much more expanded focus on looking at specific communities of girls within at­risk groups that now need much more specific attention and much more creative solutions to help them attend school.21. The underlined word “highlights〞in Paragraph 2 probably means “________〞．A. reducesB. stressesC. remarksD. improves22. According to Clarke, improving education can provide girls with all the opportunities EXCEPT________.A. to educate their own girl childrenB. to prevent child death rateC. to enter the workforceD. to study abroad23. This passage is intended to________.A. promote the progress in girls’ educationB. talk about the benefits of improving girls’ educationC. talk about the problem girls are facing in educationD. sing high praise for girls’ education24. It can be inferred from the passage that________.A. the girls’ educational situation in developing countries is still seriousB. girls were free to go wherever they wanted in the pastC. there are enough teachers in most of the African countriesD. International Women’s Day was first celebrated on March 8 in 1900BThe smiling face of Santa Claus appears all across China. Local governments are decorating trees and lamp posts with lights and ornaments. At first glance visitors would think they were in Europe.Despite the fact that most Chinese are not Christians, Christmas season has become increasingly popular.“If you had walked around ma jor Chinese cities 15 years ago, you wouldn’t have seen many signs of Christmas. However, if you were to visit those same Chinese cities again today, you’d be surprised to see signs of Christmas almost everywhere，〞 says Cai Jiming, a professor with Tsinghua University, who has served as an expert in developing China’s holiday schedule.Although Christmas is not a public holiday, many Chinese cities are still getting into the Christmas spirit.Cai says his e­mail inbox and cellphone have been flooded with me ssages wishing him a merry Christmas. The greetings have been coming in since the end of November.In his view, Christmas seems like a “warm­up〞for the truly important month­long Spring Festival, which begins on Feb. 3 next year.However, despite the prevalence(流行)of Christmas celebrations, for most Chinese, it neither means a religious celebration nor an occasion for family reunions. Instead, it is a time for relaxing with friends, a time to shop, a time to have a party and it is especially a time for romance.“It seems to me that everything associated with Christmas time is romantic.〞On the streets, rose and chocolate peddlers are competing for their business.Christmas has become another Valentine’s Day, and at the same time, more people feel it is a time to reward themselves with good food and a good time.25. From the first paragraph, we know________.A. Christmas has become the most important festival in ChinaB. Christmas is celebrated by most of people in ChinaC. Santa Claus doesn’t appear in Europe any more on ChristmasD. The smiling faces of Santa Claus are hung on the trees in local governments26.

Since 2010, over a dozen US cities have introduced bike-share programs.There’re plenty of bike stations near parks and other car-free areas. The programs we looked at in major cities work the same way. You buy a 24-hour pass. During the time, you get an unlimited number of 30-minute rides. If you go over your given half-hour ride time, you start paying fees for each following 30-minute period.

In the past, people preferred a hand-written application letter．However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet．You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs．Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself．The importance of body language is often mentioned，but doesn’t always get the attention it deserves．After all，before a word has even been spoken，your body language will have already given people their first impression of you．Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information．Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident．It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not．Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person．someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time．The members of the application committee will ask you questions，but your answers won’t only be oral．The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it ‘clicks’，and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds．Everybody uses body language，but it takes place mostly at a subconscious〔下意识的〕 level．Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job．32.What kind of people is the text mainly meant for?A.

But how do you get the best from people and encourage them to be at their most creative.Stress the importance of creativity. 36 If they don’t understand innovation can keep your firm competitive, your efforts at encouraging creative thinking risk falling flat.Make time for brainstorming. Find some time for new ideas to come out. For example, set aside time for brainstorming, hold regular group works hops(研讨会) and arrange team days out.A team involved in a brainstorming session is likely to be more effective. 37 You should also give individuals the space to reflect privately on their work if you think they need it.Challenge the way staff work. 38 Ask people whether they have considered alternative waysof working and what might be achieved by doing things differently.39 Motivate individuals or teams who come up with winning ideas by actively recognizing creativity, for example through an award scheme. You can reward those who just have a rich flow of suggestions, regardless of whether they are put into action at work.Act on ideas. Creative thinking is only worthwhile if it results in action.

As the couple wheeled her up to me, I turned my head toward the girl. When I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back 64 the girl, who was giving me the most optimistic, largest smile I had ever seen. All of a sudden, her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, 65 smile just melted me 66 almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of 67 life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and 68 ( bring ) me into her world; a world of smiles, love and 69 ( warm ).

Most large town in Florida and California have already run particularly lessons for babies. The idea has quickly spread to Europe which, in several countries, special courses were now offered to children who are from 7 to 24 months old. The first step is to have a child get rid of the fear with water. Next, he is teaching to float in water. Once he can do that naturally and can swim with fear, the child can master the technique and push him forward through water.五、书面表达Ⅲ.书面表达假设你是2015年某校的高考第一名李华，许多高三学生发电子邮件向你请教备考中遇到的问题和高考取胜之道。

Many areas were left without power or water. As soon as the storm passed, a team of cooks and other volunteers sprang into action. They set up makeshift (临时替代的) kitchens. Leading the charge was JoséAndrés, who owns popular restaurants in the United States. He's also the founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK), which cooks meals for people affected by natural disasters and other emergencies (突发事件). “We will make it to everyone who needs food,” Andrés said. At press time, WCK had served about 300,000meals there.WCK began its work in 2016, when Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti. It left many people without food. Usually, after an emergency, governments give out prepackaged meals, but some of the food isn't very healthy. Andrés thought he could do better. The food served by WCK is fresh and healthy. When possible, it adds in local ingredients (原料), which suit the tastes of the area.WCK cooks have shortcuts to cooking lots of food quickly. Andrés grew up in Spain, where cooks use massive pans (巨大的锅) to make a rice dish called paella. He realized paella pans could be used for all kinds of food. Now WCK cooks use them for everything and they can cook for 500 people at a time this way.WCK has about 25 staff members. But much of its work is done by volunteers. Twenty thousand volunteers served almost 4 million meals after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, in 2017. Andrés said a 10-year-old girl there named Lola ran a whole part of the kitchen on her own, and he thought she was a heroine.In Haiti, it's common for school meals to be cooked indoors over open fires. This can be dangerous. WCK wants to help. The group has built or repaired more than 140 schools in Haiti. In many of them, it has fitted gas stoves (煤气灶) and water lines. Together, this has made schools cleaner and safer for more than65,000 people.4. Why did Andrés start WCK?A. To comfort the injured people.B. To rebuild popular restaurants.C. To provide meals for those in need.D. To teach people how to survive a natural disaster.5. What does the underlined word “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Basic rules.B. Strange suggestions.C. Abilities to compete.D. Ways of saving time.6. What can be learned about WCK?A. It prefers children volunteers.B. It brings cooks a good return.C. It employs good Spanish-style cooks.D. It depends greatly on voluntary helpers.7. What does WCK bring to Haiti?A. Clean and safe cooking.B. Prepackaged meals.C. Highly-competitive schools.D. Professional and easy-going cooks.CFirst impressions are important, but are first impressions correct? Personally, I'm not so sure, and according to new research, neither is science.You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I certainly have, and I'm willing to bet (打赌) you've done it, too. Consider this, though: If I'd let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. First impressions are important because they can influence you one way or another, but they shouldn't be the be-all and end-all of your opinion on someone.According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person's facial appearance.“First impressions of faces can influence how we make decisions about people,” Freeman explained in a statement. Therefore, in order to put an end to such first impressions, you have to understand where your first assumptions (假设) come from. In order to do this, a team of researchers in Switzerland performed two experiments: The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. The second experiment explored what kind of facial features were connected with exact personality features. For example, someone who has a roun d face with “babyish features” might be considered as friendlier or more harmless than someone who isn't smiley in their photo.The results showed that first impressions often aren't all right. Look, it's really unfortunate that first impressions aren't always right. Still, these first impressions happen regardless of whether or not they're right, so the best thing you can do is try to put your best foot forward without, of course,giving up your authenticity (真实性); you are exactly who you were meant to be, and all you cando is be the best person you can.8. What does the author want to show by mentioning John Steinbeck's novel?A. First impressions are influential.B. The cover of a book is unnecessary.C. We shouldn't judge a book by its cover.D. Few people tend to make judgments at first sight.9. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment?A. Choose photos they like.B. Relate personalities with photos.C. Show their opinions of smiley faces.D. Talk about their impressions of other participants.10. Which of the following is a finding of the research?A. People find it hard to make a good impression.B. Faces show personality features correctly.C. First impressions are not always reliable.D. One's facial appearance is really important.11. What's the author's advice according to the text?A. Don't be too realistic.B. Try to be your best self.C. Don't be judgmental.D. Disregard others' suggestionsDWhen you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well,now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition (定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”London was founded by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度) than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs on existing buildings.“Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural (乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term thinking,” Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City six years ago, said. “We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It's about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation (转变) than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible — the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.12. What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities?A. Its smaller population.B. Its locals' requirements.C. Its government's strict law.D. Its wider area of green space.13. Where can you find out about London's measures to achieve its goal?A. In Paragraph 1.B. In Paragraph 2.C. In Paragraph 3.D. In Paragraph 4.14. What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph?A. The values of newly-founded parks.B. The importance of his movement.C. The influence of green space on cities.D. The preparation for setting up a movement.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. London is leading the world in park constructionB. London becomes the world's first National Park CityC. London is listed as the world's most-visited cityD. London has built the world's first underground park第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

AA sea turtle named Herman, an octopus (章鱼) called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia all spent this summer at the Smithsonian’ s Nation al Zoo in Washington, D.C. But unlike the zoo’s other residents, they are not real animals. These creatures are actually huge sculptures(雕塑) and they’re made entirely out of plastic trash from the ocean.These giant artworks, along with 14 others, are part of a traveling exhibit（展览）called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, works to raise awareness about the problem of plastic pollution in Earth’s oceans.More than 315 billion pounds of p lastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. It often collects in spots called garbage patches, which spread over large areas of the ocean.Thousands of marine animals----including whales, sea turtles, and fish----die each year from eating or getting stuck in plastic bags and other items. Plastic pieces can also injure coral and kill sea grass.Washed Ashore and other organizations are working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 3000 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 sculptures of marine creatures that were harmed by plastic pollution.The artworks on display at the National Zoo include a 20-foot-long coral reef, a 12-foot-long shark, and a 16-foot-long parrot fish. Each one is made from hundreds of pieces of trash like water bottles and sunglasses.“These sculptures are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.21.

Which of the following best describe Dennis Kelly’s attitude to Pozzi’s sculpture?A. DoubtfulB. SupportiveC. Negative.D. IndifferentBThe belief that girls are intelligent and better behaved is holding boys back at school, research suggests. A study of British pupils found that, from a young age, children think girls are academically (学术上) superior. And, what’s more, they believe that adults think so too.University of Kent researchers said the beliefs may be self-fulfilling and help explain why boys fall behind at so many subjects.In the first part of the study, 238 pupils aged between four and ten were given a series of statements about children’s ability and behavior. Examples included“This child doesn’t do very well at school” and “The teacher is taking the register in class and this child sits very quietly, waiting for their name to be called out”. The children were then asked to point to a picture of a boy or girl, to indicate which gender(性别) they thought the “story” was about. From the age of four, the girls linked the negative statements with boys. And by the age of seven, boys shared the belief that they were naughtier and did less well at school. Follow-up questions showed the children thought that adults had similar expectations.When boys aged seven to eight were told that they tend to do worse at school than girls, they scored more poorly in reading, writing and mathematics tests than those who were not ready for failure. And telling children aged six to nine before a test that both sexes were expected to do equally well improved the boys’ performance.Lead researcher Bonny Hartley said: “Simply developing boys’ self-belief could help close the academic gap. People’s performance suffers when t hey think others may see them through the lens(镜头) of negative expectations for social stereotypes –such as those related to gender –and so expect them to do poorly. “This effect, known as the stereotype threat, gives stereotypes a self-fulfilling power.”Study co-author Dr Robbie Sutton said: “Our study suggests that by counteracting （抵消）the stereotypes in the classroom – wherever they might have come from originally –we can help boys do better.”25.
