(For passage D, pick out 5 choices out of 7)AA degree in what?How many people in the world have a university degree in enigmatology? Well, not many. As a matter of fact, the number of enigmatology graduates in the whole world is just one: a man whose job it is to design puzzles for newspapers and magazines. American Will Shortz is an author and crossword editor. He has worked on over a hundred books, and he owns the world’s largest collection of puzzle books and magazines. The oldest title in his collection was published in 1545! And because his work is also his hobby, he has always been interested in learning as much as possible about the subject. Obviously, because he is the only enigmatologist in the world, there were no university professors who could teach him an established course of studies. He did not go to lectures and classes like his fellow students. Shortz designed his own research programme, which the university accepted, and he completed his course and received his bachelor’s degree from Indiana University in 1974.So the question remains, what exactly is enigmatology? It is the study of puzzles: their types, their history, and their popularity. It’s a mixture of history, maths, logic and cultural studies.There were some people who criticized the university for offering a course in such a strange subject, and they were also critical of Shortz, claiming that he had taken advantage of Indiana University’s flexibility. But Shortz has his fans too, such as the former US president Bill Clinton. He sent Shortz a personal note on his 50th birthday because he loves the New York Times crossword, which Shortz edits. Shortz has also been a guest on several television shows, including an episode of the famous cartoon The Simpsons, and the comedy series How I Met YourMother, where he played himself.51．Which of the statement is true according to the text?A. Shortz’s occupation is to write puzzles for university graduates.B. Shortz has worked on all the titles in his collection.C. Shortz did original research and graduated from an American university.D. Bill Clinton sent Shortz a note on his birthday because they’re friends.52. What is the author’s attitude to wards Shortz?A.Indifferent B Neutral C praising D CriticizingBDifferences inside our bodiesDid you know that people who live in different parts of China have different habits and preferences?For example, people from southern China prefer to eat vegetables, while people from north China like to eat meat. But what causes these differences?According to a new study published in the journal Cell in October, gene variations might be responsible for these differences, Xinhua reported.In the study, researchers from Chinese genome-sequencing (基因组测序)firm BGI collected geneticgroups.The researchers found that there are six gene frequencies that are different among people from both northern and southern China. They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have evolved, affecting their food preferences, immunities to illness and physical traits, the New York Times reported. The researchers reported that a variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people than it is in southern people. It helps people metabolize (新陈代谢) fatty acids (脂肪酸), which suggests a diet that is rich in meat. According to Xinhua, this is due to climate differences. Northern China is at a higher latitude, which means it’s cold and dry throughout the whole year. This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in. Therefore, northerners tend to eat more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups. Most people in southern China carry the gene CR1, which protects against malaria. This is because malaria was once quite common in southern China.In order to survive, the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease. However, people in the south are also more vulnerable to certain blood-borne illnesses, as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners. Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene, which causes dry earwax (⽿屎), l ess body odor and fewer sweat secretions (分泌), The New York Times reported. These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments. Southerners are less likely to have this gene, as it did not evolve in their population.53. What’s this passage mainly about?A. A study of the genes of Chinese minority groups.B. Habits of people from different regions of China.C. Differences in the genes of people from different parts of China.D. Physical differences between northerners and southerners.54. A variation of the gene FADS2 can help our body ______.A. store fatB. digest meatC. fight diseaseD. control sweat55. The u nderlined word “comprised” is closest in meaning to ______.A. consisted ofB. compared toC. completedD. started with56. According to the passage, most northerners in China______.a. tend to have less disease like malariab. have less body odorc. catch blood-borne illnesses easilyd. sweat less frequentlyA. abB. bcC. bdD. cdCCould the Futuristic Traveling Tube Become a Reality?It sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie or a silly cartoon: a futuristic traveling tube that can quickly shoot people wherever they want to go, inside a tiny pod. But this may be just around the corner for people looking for a faster, easier, and cheaper-than-ever way to travel. South African-American inventor and billionaire Elon Musk, who, in the past, has worked on both private space flight and electric cars, recentlyannounced he has been working on the design of this traveling tube, which could forever change the way we travel the world.In an interview, Musk described t he new tube as a fifth kind of transportation. “We have planes, trains, automobiles, and boats,” he explained. “What if there was a fifth mode? I have a name for it, [it’s] called the Hyperloop.”The Hyperloop would have the power to cut back on travel time between major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which is what inspired Musk to design the Hyperloop in the first place. Musk stated in an interview that he actually came up with the idea for the Hyperloop while thinking about the train that takes people between Los Angeles and San Francisco—it is known for being one of the slowest in the country.“This system I have in mind...can never crash, is immune to weather, it goes three or four times faster than the bullet train…it goes an average speed of twice what an aircraft would do,” explained Musk.“You would go from downtown L. A. to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes,” he added. “It would cost you much less than an air ticket [and less] than any other mode of transport.”People using the Hyperloop would shoot around in pods, which are each just over six-and-a-half feet across, and the pods would travel through tubes located either above ground or under water, though Musk has not yet released his final design drawings.Additionally, Musk believes the Hyperloop could be completely powered by the sun—making it more environmentally friendly than cars, airplanes, or train systems. Someday it could possibly move people between the East and West Coasts of the United States in less than an hour, which is faster than any other mode of transportation that exists. Eventually, the Hyperloop would be able to move people around the world.57. What does this passage describe?A. A traveling tube that could help people get around in the future.B.The costs of building traveling tubes around the world.C.The damage that cars, planes, and trains do to the environment.D.The reasons that people are looking for a cheaper-than-ever way to travel.58. If built, the Hyperloop would be faster than any other type of transportation. Why?A.People using the Hyperloop would travel in pods that are about six-and-a-half feet across.B.The Hyperloop is being designed to travel at twice the speed of an airplane.C.Right now people can fly, drive, or take a train to get from Los Angeles to San Francisco.D.Inventors in other countries are working on technology similar to the Hyperloop.59. Why might people want to use the Hyperloop instead of other kinds of transportation?A.People with motion sickness might not be able to handle the Hyperloop.B.People are tired of using the same four kinds of transportation over and over.C.The Hyperloop could take people to places where planes and trains do not go.D.People would not have to pay as much to use the Hyperloop.60. What is this passage mainly about?A.Science fiction movies and cartoons featuring futuristic traveling tubes with tiny pods.B.The interest that inventor Elon Musk has in private space flight and electric cars.C.Why the train between Los Angeles and San Francisco is one of the slowest in the country.D. A tube that could make travel in the future easier, faster, and cheaper.DTribute can go to anythingSince 1927, Time has chosen to profile a person or group and feature them on its front page.61. Here are three of the Time’ma gazine’s more unconventional choices:“The Computer”, 1982At the start of the 1980s, home computing was just starting to take off, with companies like Sinclair and Apple releasing consumer-focused machines to the masses. 62–they were mainly only useful for word processing or extremely basic gaming – at the time they were new, exciting and exotic.“This sweetheart here, this little baby, looks like any ordinary machine, isn’t that so? 63 Comes with new words too: RAM and ROM,” wrote Time.“You”, 2006In the age when sites like YouTube and Facebook were in their new and had not developed very much, Time named those who created and uploaded “user-generated content” onto such websites as its choice of the year.64 ,with a writer for The Atlantic later remark ing: “Is anyone out there not sick of people ironically listing ‘Time Person of the Year, 2006’ in Twitter bios – a reference to the gimmicky(巧妙⼿法的) selection of ‘You’ that year? Didn’t think so.”“Endangered Earth”, 1989During a period of heightened awareness of global warming and climate change, 65 This led to an environmental action plan being later published after Time invited a team of environmental experts and policymakers to an environmental conference it organized.Cloze TestAbbey Ahern, 34, who lives in Oklahoma, was devastated when she was 66 at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the 67 illness anencephaly (先天⽆脑畸形) which meant she would not live beyond a few 68 .According to the National Institutes of Health, the defect means the baby has an 69 brain and incomplete skull. Approximately one in 10,000 babies in the US are born with anencephaly, most of which result 70 miscarriage.(流产).As a result, Abbey and her pilot husband Robert, also 34, decided to have a 71 birth in the next few hours so that they could spend time with their daughter and 72 her organs - making Annie the first infant 73 donor in the state.74 they asked the doctor for the gender of their unborn child and decided to name her 75 the spot. They named her easily: Annie, which means, "grace."Abbey said: ‘76 a terminally-ill baby to 77 was by far the most difficult thing I have ever done... For us, even in the midst of our terrible 78 we were able to see so much 79.’The family spent just 14 hours and 58 minutes with Annie before she 80 away.Her 81 were not viable for transplant 82 her oxygen levels were too low - which Abbey said was 'disappointing' - but they were able to donate her heart valves（瓣膜） an d some of her organs could be used for 83.She said: 'Annie's story is one of 84.

There are still plenty of places on Earth that we haven’t explored: the bottom of the oceans, for example. Why don’t we invest in looking for natural resources there, or for ways to start a colony under the sea? These possibilities are just as exciting as anything we might do in space.2 I think people have forgotten what’s really important. Scientists used to make discoveries that made our lives safer or healthier, and our work easier and more productive. These days it’s all about new forms of entertainment, new ways of was ting time … I’m thinking of things like digital TV, smartphones, computer games. We were perfectly happy without these, and we’ll still be happy if we stop making them one day.3 I think the potential of space is really exciting. It’s not just about visit ing new places; space exploration can help us change our ideas. Scientists can carry out experiments in space that would impossible on Earth. The modern space projects promote co-operation between nations, too – think about the International Space Station, for example. Russia, Europe, Japan and the United States are all building it together. Just thirty years ago it would have been impossible. Would I say yes if anyone asked me to go into space? Definitely!4 Technology develops so fast, it’s difficult to keep up. By the time you buy a new smartphone or an mp3 player, it’s already out of date. I love that! I spend a lot of my free time on the Internet looking for news about new gadgets. It’s just a shame I don’t have the money to buy everything I like.5 I think technology is changing relationships between people. Social-networking sites make it easier to maintain friendships that you don’t have the time for in real life, mobile phones mean we can go anywhere and still keep in touch with people whoare important to us, and Wi-Fi hotspots allow us to work and communicate from almost anywhere. We aren’t tied to one way of doing things any more. I think it’s brilliant, and I can’t imagine living without it now第六材料6.-8M: Are we going to see another mountain lion today, mom?W: Probably not Sam, because we’ll be back before nightfall, and that’s when they wander around the land.M: Oh mom. Can we hike the harder trails to see bigger animals like bear or a deer?W: I’m afraid not Sam, look at the sun, it’s red a nd low on the horizon. How about an easier one so we could getback to the camp before it sets?M: I guess you are right.第七段材料9-11M: It is him, isn’t it? Your coach?W: That’s our coach, sure, and he is great, so what?M: But what …I mean, how…does he ever talk about, you know… Cool?W: He is cool and great---why are you asking those questions? Wait, we got nothing to say to newspaper so just leave our school OK?M: Aha, I got a big one! So he is Captain Cool himself the one on TV for the reality show right?W: Go away! You have such wild imagination!第⼋段材料12-14M: Mom, what is a curator?W: Someone who looks after the museum, Jack. Like your aunt Maria, she looks after the artifacts from Egypt. M: What is an artifact?W: It’s just a fancy word for an old object. Look what you have there in your hand! An old object!M: Yes, mom, it is an artifact I guess. Can I take it to Aunt Maria to take a look?W: Sure! The museum is still open till 5 pm. You have an hour. Bike it there!第九段材料15-17W: What about a bake-sale?M: He’d end up eating more than he sold.

He and his best friends, Josue and Martin, were playing with long branches pulled from the tre e in the neighbor’s yard. These branches make terrific swords. They clacked loudly when knocked together. Enrique had shaved the bark from the end of his sword so he could get a firmer grip. Nowhe was battling Martin, blocking his friend’s every move and thrusting forward when he had the chance.The three friends chased each other up and down the dirt lane in front of the house, swords waving in the air. Theirhomemade shirts and pants protected them, mostly, from the coolness of the March afternoon, but out in the sun, the boys felt warm. Enrique ran barefoot since, like most children, he only wore shoes when he went to school or to church, or when it was too cold for bare food.英语运⽤参考答案21-25 DADDA26-30 BBDBA31-35 DACAC36. celebrations37. excitement38. waiting39. had been launched40. enough41. were42. containing, which/that contained43. essential44. them45. when46.

To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of高一英语第 1 页（共7页）a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”.4. What is the research mainly about?A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.5. What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A deep desire to know about something.B. A special need to be more popular.C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance.D. Strong determination to improve oneself.6. What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?A. Ambiguous.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Supportive.7. From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.A. to win praise from viewersB. to show off their camerasC. to improve relationshipsD. to share good momentsCChina's tourists are set to stick close to home and take advantage of discounts as they take time off for the first major holiday since the easing of coronavirus lockdowns, offering a glimpse of what travel may look like after the epidemic（疫情）.A five-day Labour Day holiday from May 1 is being seen as a test for the tourism industry, one of the sectors hardest hit by the coronavirus.Travel operator estimates about 90 million people will go on holiday for the May Day break, less than half the number who went last year.But hotels and major travel operators said they were optimistic about presale figures, with Marriott International saying many companies were promoting "staycations"."It's encouraging to see signs of recovery after a long, cold winter," said Jolyon Bulley, chief executive of InterContinental Hotels Group Greater China, who told Reuters May Day bookings were showing some positive signs.Many people were planning to visit places in home provinces or nearby cities, said, citing ticket sales.Half of its presold rooms were for five-star hotels, indicating travellers were seeking better quality accommodation due to epidemic concerns, it said.They are also taking advantage of cheap domestic flights and hotel deals being offered by airlines and hotel chains eager to get people travelling again.Prices for popular routes such as Beijing to Sanya have been slashed by up to 90%, with booking on average 30% down, according to Alibaba Group's travel booking platform Fliggy.In the financial hub of Shanghai, Marriott is offering guests a 2,202 yuan package that includes a one-night stay at its upscale W Hotel, a cocktail and tapas dinner and spa treatments.Jiang Qin, a 38-year-old Beijing office worker, said she was going away but not too far. She aimed to take her 2-year-old daughter to the nearby city of Tianjin, having scrapped a plan to go to Hainan because of Beijing's quarantine requirements."Tianjin is not the best alternative, but I just want to travel. Anywhere is better than nowhere," she said.However, industry executives warn that it's too soon to say how robust the recovery in holiday travel will be given concern about a second wave of the coronavirus.International travel remains out of the question for most, due to border restrictions imposed by other countries, a lack of flights and two weeks of quarantine that await people coming back to China.Major tourism sites and some restaurants have and been told to limit occupancy to as low as 30% of normal levels, capping any recovery.The China Tourist Attractions Association estimates that destinations will see an 80% drop in revenue in the first quarter."The uncertainties are not completely gone, and no one would be able to tell exactly what will高一英语第 2 页（共7页）happen," said Bulley."Recovery will continue to come in phases in China, and what we can do is to be fully prepared under the new norm."8. How many people went on holiday during May Day break last year according to Travel operator Trip .com?A.90 millionB. Less than 90 millionC. 180 millionD. More than 180 million9. Where are many people planning to go during May Day break?A. Home provinces or nearby cities.B. Hometown.C. Hainan.D. Beijing.10 . What does the underlined word slash mean?A. Reduce by a large amount.B. Increase by a large amount.C. Crash.D. Hit.11. From the passage we know that during the May Day break___A. Many people will go abroad because of the cheap flight.B. Many people will go to southern provinces.C. Many people will go to their hometown.D. People prefer to live hotels of good conditions because of the epidemic.DOf all the planets, none has captured the world's imagination like Mars. Its reddish colour and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars. Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H. G. Well's The War of the Worlds. Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars. Wells described Martians as threatening. Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works. Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.Today, Mars continues to excite humans—not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study. Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into the Martian surface.The Smithsonian's "Mars Day" offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it. Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma. They heard about Mars and its geology from experts. They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976. They also saw meteorites（陨星）known to have come from the red, or reddish planet. Eight-year-old Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right. He said, “It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown, too.” Emma is six. She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars. She said, “The closest thing to Mars—the stuff—is from volcanoes mostly.”“Mars Day” offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.12．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Why Martians were considered threatening.B．Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.C．What people generally thought of Mars in the past.D．How H. G. Wells got the idea for his science fiction.13．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that_________.A．today's space scientists still know nothing about MarsB．today's space scientists are very interested in MarsC．science fiction films are no longer set in MarsD．space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars14．Sam would probably agree that _________.A．Mars is not really redB．no meteorites have come from MarsC．Mars cannot be described as a little brownD．the ancient description of Mars' colour is true高一英语第 3 页（共7页）15．What is the writer's attitude towards the idea that humans will set foot on Mars?A．He thinks it may happen in this year.B．He thinks it will always remain a dream.C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Family Vacations in HawaiiWhether your interests are history, native cultures, hiking, water sports, or simply relaxing in the sun, Hawaii has abundant choices to keep you and your family entertained.Waikiki BeachThis famous two-mile stretch of sand is home to scores of family-friendly beach hotels and all kinds of action-packed excitement. Waikiki Beach is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for warm ocean water and golden beaches. Kids will enjoy walking along the beach, stopping for shaved ice or an ice cream and taking a dip in a safe area of the ocean.Oahu’s North Shore Some of the tallest ocean waves in the world are found at Oahu, Hawaii’s North Shore coastline during the winter months. These crashing walls of water are born for surfing and offer one of the best free shows on the islands. The North Shore is home to world-class surf contests, attracting the world’s top surfers.Polynesian Cultural CenterNothing appeals to the whole family like Hawaiian past coming alive. Besides, the colorful costumes, lively songs, and traditional dances in the Pacific region are presented here. You’ll see customs of Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii all represented in Polynesian Cultural Center’s re-created island villages, which is decorated with palm trees and tropical gardens.Waimea Canyon (峡谷) State ParkMore than 3,500 feet deep, this landmark on Hawaii’s island of Kauai is the largest canyon in the Pacific.

But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.4．What do we know about Emmie from the first two paragraphs?A．She refused to give up performing.B．She used to be looked down upon.C．She showed a special talent for cheerleading.D．She felt down for not joining the cheer squad.5．Why did Sydnee post the video online?A．To show Emmie’s dancing skills.B．To inspire others with Emmie’s spirit.C．To help Emmie attract people’s attention.D．To express her gratitude to the cheer squad. 6．How did the school react to Emmie’s joining the cheer squad?A．They told her to quit.B．They satisfied her need.C．They made an excuse.D．They offered her support.7．What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A．Believe in ourselves.B．Keep our dreams alive.C．Prepare for the worst.D．Youth gives us light.Lucy was rescued from a rural farm in New South Wales, Australia, two years ago. She was suffering from chlamydia (衣原体病), a disease widespread among koalas. Today, she is one of “the lucky” living creatures in tree corridors (走廊) that have been created by volunteers to protect koalas and other animals by saving their quickly shrinking habitats, or natural environment.The corridors, planted by the local conservation group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are intended for koalas and other animals like the glossy black cockatoos, possums, and wallabies. All of them are endangered, or at risk of becoming extinct. The corridors provide a safe path across the koala’s increasingly broken habitat. “Our corridors are actually trying to get them away from humans, from cars and from dogs,” said Linda Sparrow, president of Bangalow Koalas. “They can safely move across the landscapes and don’t have to put up with us humans.”The koala is predicted to be extinct in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest dangers include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development. Koalas have already been declared endangered in several Australian states. A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth an estimated $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry.Founded in 2016, Bangalow Koalas has planted over 936,000 trees on 119 properties, helping koala conservation and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on com munity volunteers, aims to plant 500,000 trees by 2025. Volunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause. She said the activity is good for mental health and has brought the community together. “I can’t imagine a world where there’s no koalas in the wild. We’re going to do everything we can possibly to. make sure that won’thappen,” Lindy said.8．Who is Lucy?A．A farmer.B．A patient.C．A volunteer.D．A koala.9．What are the tree corridors intended to do?A．To shelter koalas from human threat.B．To test the local natural environment.C．To save koalas suffering from chlamydia.D．To stop koalas’ habitats from being rebuilt. 10．What does the author want to show in paragraph 3?A．The reason for koalas’ extinction.B．Koalas’ value in tourism industry.C．The necessity of saving koalas.D．People’s deep love for koalas.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．Bangalow Koalas: A Group Intended For KoalasB．Tree Corridors: A Lifeline For Endangered KoalasC．Bangalow Koalas: Call On V olunteers For Koalas’ ProtectionD．Tree Corridors: Responsible For The Loss Of Koalas’ HabitatsDeep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins (毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia (痴呆).Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid (脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well beforethe onset of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realising they’re at a dead end.”12．What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan?A．To help people enter deep sleep.B．To reduce memory loss and dementia.C．To research how to remove sticky plaques.D．To study what the brain uses to clean itself.13．What may cause dementia according to the text?A．Not enough blood in the brain.B．Too frequent cleaning of the brain.C．The increase of cerebrospinal fluid.D．The gradual increase of sticky plaques. 14．What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Beginning.B．Improvement.C．Worsening.D．Disappearance. 15．What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan?A．It brings more work.B．It is just imaginary.C．It is quite effective.D．It is far from exact.Tips for Unplugging (拔掉……的电源插头) for the Holidays Unplugging for the holidays will give your brain a break and allow yourself to enjoy more pleasures in your life. 16 These tips will help you have a tech-free holiday and enjoy the benefits of unplugging for the holidays.17 It’s a lot easier to stay away from your smartphone if everyone else you’re with follows suit. Let family and friends know you’d like to do a digital detox (脱瘾) during your time. Have everyone turn their phones off, then collect them and keep them in a separate room.Plan or arrange activities in advance. The day might seem boring if everyone’s phone is taken and there’s no plan for entertainment. 18 From making popcorn and watching a movie to going on a hike, baking cookies or playing board games, you’ll be surprised by how much fun you can have together.Keep your phone out of the bedroom at night. Give yourself an alarm clock, and keep your phone out of the room when you’re getting ready to sleep. 19Take time to relax. Whether it’s reading a book or taking a hot bath with essential oils, take time to enjoy life’s little pleasures but no technology.Practice yoga (瑜伽). 20 Yoga changes your brain in a variety of ways. With all the extra time you’ll have from your digital detox, you’ll have time to get started.A．Get everyone on board.B．Ready to unplug but not sure how?C．Feel happier and healthier with loved ones.D．If possible, turn it off at least an hour beforehand.E．It is a combination of physical and breathing exercises.F．Your brain can focus on the task and news at hand more quickly.G．Expect this and design a list of activities everyone can take part in.二、完形填空Donna Urquhart is an experienced runner. She ran 1,402 kilometers over the course of 28 days in Antarctica (南极洲), 21 the record for the longest-ever run in a polar region.Urquhart spent 10 months training for the 22 , turning to some unusual training methods. A company allowed her to run in a 23 storage unit where she ran in temperatures below zero. Besides, she ran along the beaches with uneven (凹凸不平的) surfaces that are like the 24 grounds in Antarctica. All those proved useful 25 .The difficulties that Urquhart faced in Antarctica were 26 : taking in about 5,000 calories each day, 27 in a tent. Combined with the sound of 28 winds and the continent’s 24 hours of sunlight in the summer months, these were 29 favorable to a good night’s sleep. Urquhart would usually wear four layers of coats and keep 30 her own body temperature while running.Urquhart launched the Run Antarctica aiming to encourage more women to 31 sport. Though still unsure about what her next running challenge will have, she has set a 32 of raising $1.5 million for charity.“Confidence is a real issue for females,” says Urquhart. “And a sporting environment provides them with a great opportunity to 33 themselves.” This served as a huge 34 for her to take on a challenge that no other woman had attempted before. “It was actually showing that we can push our 35 , and explore what seems impossible,” says Urquhart. 21．A．closing B．keeping C．missing D．setting 22．A．puzzle B．outcome C．challenge D．examination 23．A．painted B．refrigerated C．heated D．crowded 24．A．varied B．soft C．smooth D．high 25．A．purposes B．messages C．preparations D．suggestions 26．A．new B．tough C．interesting D．exciting 27．A．accommodating B．recovering C．harvestingD．complaining28．A．gentle B．slight C．warm D．wild 29．A．likely B．significantly C．hardly D．really 30．A．noticing B．taking C．decreasing D．forgetting 31．A．refer to B．apply for C．carry on D．take up 32．A．price B．record C．target D．rule 33．A．support B．trust C．prevent D．wait 34．A．inspiration B．impression C．symbol D．adventure 35．A．processes B．positions C．schedules D．limits三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

第一阅读理解〔共两节，总分值60分〕第一节〔共15小题；每题3分，总分值45分〕ASometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do．When this happens，a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing．When this does not work，the parent usually punishes the child．There are many things that a parent can do．One thing that people have done is to spank(打屁股)the child．When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on the bottom．This means showing the child that they have done something wrong． One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child．His parents used a wooden spoon．When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg．He never did that again．One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing．Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard．Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing．Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking．Some people think that their religion tells them that spanking is okay．Some think that the law lets them do it．The courts(法院)say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave． Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child．Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing．Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried．Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach can help as well．1．According to the passage，when children do something wrong，one thing that parents usually do to punish them is toA．strike them on the bottom B．try to help them do the right thing C．teach them what to do D．take them to court2．Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?A．It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her．B．The parents may get angry and hit the child too hard．C．Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything．D．It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right．3．From this passage，we can conclude thatA．good children always do the right thingB．parents should try their best to avoid spanking their childrenC．parents have no choice but to spank their childrenD．children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked【答案】1.A2.D3.B【解析】试题分析: 文章主要讲述了家长用打屁股的方式体罚孩子，作者对此持反对态度，警惕我们用一些其他的手段去孩子1.A 考查细节理解题。
