ADoctors are known to be terrible pilots.They don't listen because they already know it all.I was luck y：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 I 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 and said, “We need to put the landing gear do wn 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 o pinions 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 roo m，I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they're not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I c ontinue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”．语篇解读：本文体裁为记叙文。

2020届内蒙古赤峰市宁城县英语高考二模试题第二部分：阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．11．（8分）Are you happy？Do you remember a time when you were happy？Are you seeking happiness today？Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness．Some have put their hearts and efforts into their work．Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol．Meanwhile，untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars，exotic（异国的）vacation homes and other popular "toys"．Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact：people are looking for a lasting source of happiness．Unfortunately，I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it．I have heard many people say that，"I'll be happy when I get my new promotion．" Or "I'll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds．" It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a "response" to having，being or doing something．In life，we all experience stimulus（激励）and response．Today，some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus，and happiness is a response；a great paying job is a stimulus，and happiness is a response；a loving relationship is a stimulus，and happiness is a response．This belief leaves us the thinking and feeling：I'll be happy when …It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true．I believe that happiness is a stimulus anda response is what life brings to those who are truly happy．When we are happy，we tend to have moresuccess in our work．When we are happy，people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships．When we are happy，we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health．Happiness is not a response but a stimulus．Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives．For unknown reason to me，many choose to be painful，unsuccessful and angry most of the time．Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want﹣﹣we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy．（1）From the second paragraph，we know too many people．A．are not happy when they work hardB．are not happy when they drink or take drugsC．are happy when they possess their own expensive carsD．all desire exotic vacation homes（2）Generally speaking，most people feel happy because．A．they think happiness is rooted in their deep heartsB．they get what they want to haveC．they get a great paying jobD．they get an expensive car（3）Which of the following is right according to the author？A．If you want to get what you want，you first choose to be happy．B．We should try to get more and then we'll be happy．C．Most people today are happy．D．Work is a necessary part in our daily life．（4）From the viewpoint of the author，happiness is．A．based on our needsB．unconditionalC．out of reachD．limited12．（8分）Early in the twentieth century，two famous scientists developed different ideas about dreams．Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900．Freud believed people often dream about things they want but cannot have．These dreams are often linked to sex and aggression．For Freud，dreams were full of hidden meaning．He tried t o understand dreams as a way to understand people and why they acted or thought in certain ways．Freud believed that every thought and every action started deep in our brains．He thought dreams could be an important way to understand what is happening in our brains．Freud told people what their dreams meant as a way of helping them solve problems or understand their worries．For example，Freud said when people dream of flying or swinging，they want to befree of their childhood．When a person dreams that a brother or sister or parent has died，the dreamer is really hiding feelings of hatred for that person．Or a desire to have what the other person has．Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years．But he developed very different ideas about dreams．Jung believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves．He believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake．He also believed dreams tell us something about ourselves and our relations with other people．He did not believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression．（1）According to the passage，Sigmund Freud held that．A．dreams can help understand people's actionB．when people dream that they fly in the sky，they are actually desire somethingC．if a person dreams that a brother has died，he or she must hates the brotherD．if people want to better understand themselves，they will dream（2）What is Carl Jung's opinion of dreams？A．His dreams are different from those of Sigmund Freud．B．Whenever we face problems，we can find solutions to them in our dreams．C．Dreams help understand people's thoughts．D．Dreams at times show our relations with other people．（3）From the passage，we learn that．A．The Interpretation of Dreams was written by Freud as well as JungB．Freud helped people solve problems by telling what their dreams meantC．Freud and Jung always worked togetherD．both of them told us clearly why we dream（4）The author seems to be．A．in favor of FreudB．in favor of JungC．objectiveD．critical13．（8分）The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea，Liberia，Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world．The outbreak is unprecedented （空前的）both in infection numbers and in geographic range．Officials froth the World Health Organization （WHO）said earlier this month the outbreak "is moving faster than our efforts to control it"，reported CNN．So far，the battle against the virus doesn't appear to be slowing down．The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes：It's a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever，Scvcrcdiarrhea （腹泻），vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims．It is understandable for people to be panicked．but those living outside Africa shouldn't be particularly concerned about contracting the virus，says a Washington Post article．This is because spread of Ehola requires direct contact with an infected person's blood vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious （接触传染的）．It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers．The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing．Media in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines，wrongly saying that people infected （感染）with the virus have traveled to their countries．James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is terriying，but it is important to keep a sense of proportion．Other infectious diseases，incudling common flu，are far，far deadlier．（1）What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in Africa？A．It has caused thousands of African deaths．B．The fight against it is slowing down．C．Its spreading speed is beyond people's imagination．D．It has already traveled to the Us and the Uk．（2）The Ebola virus is terrifying because．A．it is easily infectedB．it cannot be cured at the momentC．it spreads faster than any other infectuous diseaseD．it has caused more deaths than other infectous diseases（3）The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means．A．stay calmB．keep a secretC．keep silentD．stay away from it（4）What is the author's attitude towards people's panic？A．Objective．B．Supportive．C．Understandable．D．Doubtful．14．（6分）Two weeks before my 12th birthday，my teacher asked me to conduct an experiment．WhenI mixed some powder together，they exploded．Molten liquid hit me in the face，but I felt no pain．I vividly remember standing there in a state of calm．I thought I was in a dream，but howeverhard I struggled to swim to the surface of consciousness，I couldn't wake up．I didn't understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying，" Who's that？" That's when I knew I was unrecognizable．I was taken to hospital，but the doctors didn't know what to do with me．Later I was flown toHouston for surgery．Between the ages of 13 and 16，I had 40 operations．As each operation came and went，my vision would come back，then fade again．Eventually，it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic reasons．Since then，I have lived in total darkness．Most blind people，even if they don't have any sight they're aware of，are still able to sense light．That gives them a sense of day and night．But not me．I absolutely lost that sense of time passing．For many years，I felt my sight loss darkening my life like the loss of my parents from which I would never recover．But when I was in my 40s，I realized I had to find a way to live．I trained to become a counselor，and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way．I can't fix people's broken lives ﹣just like I can't fix my sight ﹣but I can help them find a way to manage．Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I've lived through were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light．（1）How did the writer feel when the mixed powder exploded？A．Painful．B．Frightened．C．Calm．D．Desperate．（2）What can we know about the writer？A．She recovered her sight at last．B．She just has slight sense of sight．C．She is now living a meaningful life．D．She received 40 operations in 28 years．（3）What is the passage mainly about？A．Telling her own experience．B．Encouraging the blind to cheer up．C．Calling on people to care for the blind．D．Warning students doing experiments is dangerous．第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两处为多余选项．15．（10分）How to test bestIt's back to school，which means it's back to tests．Which might also mean it's back to being majorly stressed out．（1）Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests．Schedule study time．Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the material．（2）Instead，prepare for a test by scheduling study time each day for several days before．Use your time wisely．（3）Also，make sure you have all the supplies you need to study so you don't lose focus．While studying，be sure to make regular short breaks．Get a snack，take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode．（4）Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and to learn from one another．Have every person or pair take a part of the material，and come up with questions to quiz the group．Keep the group small．Have everyone take turns as the group leader，who will assign the material，and make sure that conversation stays on what is being studied．Don't forget last﹣minute preparation．Have your sharpened pencils and other things in your bag ready the night before the test．It's important to get a good night's sleep and then eating a healthy breakfast the next morning．（5）Also，studying all the way up until test time can only create more anxiety．Stop studying an hour beforehand．A．Form a study group．B．Stay cool before the test．C．It doesn't have to be this way．D．This will help you store important information．E．This way，both your mind and body are fully prepared．F．Before studying ，clear your desk so you can concentrate．G．It will also make you tired and stressed on the day of the test．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45 分）第一节：完形填空（共20 小题；每题 1.5

time when you were happy？Are you seeking happiness today？Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness．Some have put their hearts and efforts into their work．Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol．Meanwhile，untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars，exotic（异国的）vacation homes and other popular "toys"．Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact：people are looking for a lasting source of happiness．Unfortunately，I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it．I have heard many people say that，"I'll be happy when I get my new promotion．" Or "I'll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds．" It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a "response" to having，being or doing something．In life，we all experience stimulus（激励）and response．Today，some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus，and happiness is a response；a great paying job is a stimulus，and happiness is a response；a loving relationship is a stimulus，and happiness is a response．This belief leaves us the thinking and feeling：I'll be happy when …It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true．I believe that happiness is a stimulus anda response is what life brings to those who are truly happy．When we are happy，we tend to have moresuccess in our work．When we are happy，people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships．When we are happy，we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health．Happiness is not a response but a stimulus．Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives．For unknown reason to me，many choose to be painful，unsuccessful and angry most of the time．Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want﹣﹣we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy．（1）From the second paragraph，we know too many people．A．are not happy when they work hardB．are not happy when they drink or take drugsC．are happy when they possess their own expensive carsD．all desire exotic vacation homes（2）Generally speaking，most people feel happy because．A．they think happiness is rooted in their deep heartsB．they get what they want to haveC．they get a great paying jobD．they get an expensive car（3）Which of the following is right according to the author？A．If you want to get what you want，you first choose to be happy．B．We should try to get more and then we'll be happy．C．Most people today are happy．D．Work is a necessary part in our daily life．（4）From the viewpoint of the author，happiness is．A．based on our needsB．unconditionalC．out of reachD．limited12．（8分）Early in the twentieth century，two famous scientists developed different ideas about dreams．Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900．Freud believed people often dream about things they want but cannot have．These dreams are often linked to sex and aggression．For Freud，dreams were full of hidden meaning．He tried t o understand dreams as a way to understand people and why they acted or thought in certain ways．Freud believed that every thought and every action started deep in our brains．He thought dreams could be an important way to understand what is happening in our brains．Freud told people what their dreams meant as a way of helping them solve problems or understand their worries．For example，Freud said when people dream of flying or swinging，they want to befree of their childhood．When a person dreams that a brother or sister or parent has died，the dreamer is really hiding feelings of hatred for that person．Or a desire to have what the other person has．Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years．But he developed very different ideas about dreams．Jung believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves．He believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake．He also believed dreams tell us something about ourselves and our relations with other people．He did not believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression．（1）According to the passage，Sigmund Freud held that．A．dreams can help understand people's actionB．when people dream that they fly in the sky，they are actually desire somethingC．if a person dreams that a brother has died，he or she must hates the brotherD．if people want to better understand themselves，they will dream（2）What is Carl Jung's opinion of dreams？A．His dreams are different from those of Sigmund Freud．B．Whenever we face problems，we can find solutions to them in our dreams．C．Dreams help understand people's thoughts．D．Dreams at times show our relations with other people．（3）From the passage，we learn that．A．The Interpretation of Dreams was written by Freud as well as JungB．Freud helped people solve problems by telling what their dreams meantC．Freud and Jung always worked togetherD．both of them told us clearly why we dream（4）The author seems to be．A．in favor of FreudB．in favor of JungC．objectiveD．critical13．（8分）The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea，Liberia，Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world．The outbreak is unprecedented （空前的）both in infection numbers and in geographic range．Officials froth the World Health Organization （WHO）said earlier this month the outbreak "is moving faster than our efforts to control it"，reported CNN．So far，the battle against the virus doesn't appear to be slowing down．The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes：It's a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever，Scvcrcdiarrhea （腹泻），vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims．It is understandable for people to be panicked．but those living outside Africa shouldn't be particularly concerned about contracting the virus，says a Washington Post article．This is because spread of Ehola requires direct contact with an infected person's blood vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious （接触传染的）．It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers．The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing．Media in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines，wrongly saying that people infected （感染）with the virus have traveled to their countries．James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is terriying，but it is important to keep a sense of proportion．Other infectious diseases，incudling common flu，are far，far deadlier．（1）What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in Africa？A．It has caused thousands of African deaths．B．The fight against it is slowing down．C．Its spreading speed is beyond people's imagination．D．It has already traveled to the Us and the Uk．（2）The Ebola virus is terrifying because．A．it is easily infectedB．it cannot be cured at the momentC．it spreads faster than any other infectuous diseaseD．it has caused more deaths than other infectous diseases（3）The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means．A．stay calmB．keep a secretC．keep silentD．stay away from it（4）What is the author's attitude towards people's panic？A．Objective．B．Supportive．C．Understandable．D．Doubtful．14．（6分）Two weeks before my 12th birthday，my teacher asked me to conduct an experiment．WhenI mixed some powder together，they exploded．Molten liquid hit me in the face，but I felt no pain．I vividly remember standing there in a state of calm．I thought I was in a dream，but howeverhard I struggled to swim to the surface of consciousness，I couldn't wake up．I didn't understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying，" Who's that？" That's when I knew I was unrecognizable．I was taken to hospital，but the doctors didn't know what to do with me．Later I was flown toHouston for surgery．Between the ages of 13 and 16，I had 40 operations．As each operation came and went，my vision would come back，then fade again．Eventually，it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic reasons．Since then，I have lived in total darkness．Most blind people，even if they don't have any sight they're aware of，are still able to sense light．That gives them a sense of day and night．But not me．I absolutely lost that sense of time passing．For many years，I felt my sight loss darkening my life like the loss of my parents from which I would never recover．But when I was in my 40s，I realized I had to find a way to live．I trained to become a counselor，and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way．I can't fix people's broken lives ﹣just like I can't fix my sight ﹣but I can help them find a way to manage．Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I've lived through were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light．（1）How did the writer feel when the mixed powder exploded？A．Painful．B．Frightened．C．Calm．D．Desperate．（2）What can we know about the writer？A．She recovered her sight at last．B．She just has slight sense of sight．C．She is now living a meaningful life．D．She received 40 operations in 28 years．（3）What is the passage mainly about？A．Telling her own experience．B．Encouraging the blind to cheer up．C．Calling on people to care for the blind．D．Warning students doing experiments is dangerous．第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两处为多余选项．15．（10分）How to test bestIt's back to school，which means it's back to tests．Which might also mean it's back to being majorly stressed out．（1）Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests．Schedule study time．Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the material．（2）Instead，prepare for a test by scheduling study time each day for several days before．Use your time wisely．（3）Also，make sure you have all the supplies you need to study so you don't lose focus．While studying，be sure to make regular short breaks．Get a snack，take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode．（4）Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and to learn from one another．Have every person or pair take a part of the material，and come up with questions to quiz the group．Keep the group small．Have everyone take turns as the group leader，who will assign the material，。

2020届呼和浩特市秋实中学高三英语二模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AIf your Spanish is good enough, many Spanish gossip magazines being published around the world will provide entertainment and, at the same time, help you practice your language.Diez Minutos: The magazine is a classic Spanish gossip feast with dailynews based on many stories of love, separation, divorce and death. The two main parts are headlined "love" and "partners". They also have an online version of the magazine for serious gossip addicts.Hola: It isSpain's top weekly magazine and the leader of the gossip world. It contains many pictures and a round-up of well-known and less well-known nobles and people in show business. Apart from edited highlights from the present and past issues, there is a report of the week and photo of the week. There is also a French version called OhLa!Revista CUORE: As the third best-selling gossip magazine inSpain, it is mainly aimed at younger teenage readers who look not only for current celebrity gossip, but also for fashion and TV news. It uses a lot of oral terms.Revista SEMANA: It is a Spanish magazine covering the latest news on the famous inSpainandHollywood.

It is also exported to certain parts of theUnited States, bringing together strange and wonderful news from around the world and the famous Latin community.1.Which magazine is also published in French?A.MarujeoB.Revista SEMANA.C.Revista CARAS.D.Hola.2.How many of the magazines mentioned in the text can be read on the Internet?A.Four.B.Three.C.Two.D.One.3.What can be learned from the passage?A.Diez Minutos presents its readers weekly picturesB.Revista CUORE can help improve one's spoken Spanish.C.Revista SEMANA is intended for readers in teensD.Revista CARAS mainly reports news fromLatin America.BPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes againstthe traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.4. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People's acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.5. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.6. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.7. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much moremotivated.CI have a memory of being about five years old, picking up a beautiful grilled(烧烤的）cheese sandwich made for me by my hard —working mother and turning it over to see that theother side was burned. Suddenly what I thought was the perfect sandwich was not so perfect. Mom had tried to hide that fact from me. There was no question; I ate it anyway without complaining. However, that moment has stuck in my mind for many years. Now, at the age of 43 as a mother of two children and as a biology professor where I am routinely the "academic mother" of hundreds of students every year,I find that I believe inThe Grilled Cheese Principle.Here is what I mean Making a grilled cheese sandwich is easy right? But when I think of how many burned grilled cheese sandwiches I have eaten, or I have made myself, I realize that most of the grilled cheese sandwiches I have known have had at least one burned side. The thing is that although it is a ly easy thing to make, I can also easily lose focus, and before long the sandwich is burned. For my mother, the first side was usually perfect and the second side got burned due to her being distracted. For me,I have tended to burn the first side,but then I more carefully monitor the second side.Either way,the grilled cheese sandwich suffers because it has not been given the attention it deservesSo, I have learned that even the simplest task deserves my full attention. When I am multi-tasking, I am doing none of the tasks well. And when I allow myself to be distracted, I am not in the present moment — not paying attention to the small details of living or enjoying the processSo now, I believe the best way to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to make only one at a time and give it my full attention.8. How did the writer react to the sandwich with burned side?A. She ate it with some complaintsB. She showed no interest.C. She thought it was still perfectD. She was deeply impressed with it9. What doesThe Grilled Cheese Principlemean?A. Even simple things deserve full attentionB. Losing focus makes the sandwich burnedC. Self-made sandwiches are always burnedD. we should make only one sandwich at a time10. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?A. Everything cannot be done well without full attentionB. Moms always like to lie to kids when they have done something wrongC. We can lose focus more easily when we do easy things.D. Multi-tasking can be an obstacle to the achievement of tasks.11. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Nothing is perfectB. Learn to appreciate the burned sandwichesC. Devote yourself to one thing at a time.D. Never do multi-tasksDSummer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far toooften. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch (草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry alsodesigns the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize thepatent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that — over $46,000.Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”12. What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?A. His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.B. His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heat.C. The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot car.D. The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.13. What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?A. It would inform the parents or even the police.B. It would pump out the hot air in the car.C. It would sound the alarm attached to the car.D. It would get the window open to save the child.14. What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention?A. It used some of the most advanced technology.B. It simply combined technologies that existed.C. It could accelerate production of new technology.D. It is the most advanced among similar products.15. Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money?A. To conduct experiments to test the invention.B. To get other children devoted to inventions.C. To support a charity of medical aid for children.D. To get the patent and bring it to production.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。

It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the sidewalks.TCS New York City MarathonAs the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a half hours, but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below 15-minute mile.The famous course snakes through five boroughs (行政区) of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park.Honolulo MarathonThe marathon attracts over 30,000 participants each December. The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park. The start time is at 5: 00 am with finish line services officially open until 2: 00 pm. However, the organizers allow everyone to finish and have waiters on hand until 4: 00 pm.Boston MarathonThe marathon is held in May every year.

The event attracts over 8,000 people who can choose anything from three-mile walk to the full 26.2-mile Boston Marathon route.1.Where is a new marathon runner most likely to receive enthusiastic cheers?A.In Portland.B.In New York.C.In Honolulu.D.In Boston.2.What can we know about TCS New York City Marathon?A.It is extremely popular.B.It has an open time limit.C.It starts and ends in a park.D.It forbids using the sidewalk.3.Which marathon is held the earliest in a year?A.Portland Marathon.B.TCS New York City Marathon.C.Boston Marathon.D.Honolulu Marathon.BRemember when your mom told you not to eat too many candy bars or sweets because they can cause tooth decay (蛀牙)? However, it turns out that chocolate can be moresalutaryto your teeth than you might expect. Recent studies show that chocolate can effectively fight against tooth decay, as if we need another excuse to eat chocolate.Chocolate offers protection like fluoride, a main ingredient in most household toothpastes. Not only does chocolate protect our teeth, but it can do so very effectively. Studies show that chocolate has compounds that provide strong protection for teeth. One of the compounds in chocolate, CBH, is shown to protect even more effectively than fluoride.Tooth decay happens when bacteria work to turn sugar into acids in our mouth. This is why eating foods with high sugar content can lead to more tooth decay. The compounds in chocolate, however, are anti-bacteria and can fight against bacteria in your mouth. The CBH compound in particular also works to strengthen tooth enamel (牙釉质), andprotects against tooth decay.Does this mean you can cat as much chocolate as you want without worrying about your teeth? It depends on the types of chocolate that you like. The protective effect of chocolate is most effective when you chew on cocoa beans. Of course, this option is not very appealing to; most people. A more tasty option is to choose dark chocolate with little sugar content, ideally no more than 6 to 8 grams per serving. For other types of chocolate with higher sugar content, the effect will be lessened. However, because of the protective compounds, it is still better for your teeth than other sweets and desserts containing the same amount of sugar.4. The word “salutary” in paragraph 1 means?A. Beneficial.B. Harmful.C. Familiar.D. Useless.5. What can we know about the compound CBH in chocolate?A. It can help chocolate cure tooth decay.B. It can effectively stop teeth from decaying.C. It may protect teeth better than toothpastes do.D. It may soon replace most household toothpastes.6. How does chocolate fight tooth decay?A. By breaking down acids.B. By building up compounds.C. By fixing up tooth enamel.D. By fighting against bacteria.7. What's the main idea of the text?A. Chocolate plays the role of toothpaste.B. Chocolate protects against tooth decay.C. Chocolate is the best choice for teeth protection.D. Chocolate is healthier to teeth than other sweets.CTofight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orangepeels(皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was "polluting a national park". They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues（途径，手段）with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him."While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls ofvines(藤) in the orange peel site itself," said Timothy Treuer.Treuer and his team spent months picking upsamples(样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area withorange waste had richer soil.The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar withcomposting(施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange "mined" a national parkand stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwideattention, this type of "ruining" is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.8. What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?A. Add them to fuel.B. Feed them to animals.C. Burn or bury them.D. Make them into cakes.9. What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?A. It lasted 15 years.B. It was signed by Treuer.C. It was made in about 1998.D. It was broken by Del Oro.10. What was Treuer's finding?A. Orange peels contain much fibre.B. Orange peels can make soil richer.C. Orange peels rot away in a short time.D. Orange waste ruined the national park.11. What is the author's attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?A. Disapproving.B. Positive.C. Worried.D. Admirable.DNostalgia (怀旧) has become increasingly common in our current climate of accelerated, unexpected change. More and more Americans are turning back with longing towhat feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters even decades-old video games.Is it a mistake to get too obsessed with the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it can indicate loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contribute to anxiety, depression , insomnia etc.But new studies suggest that a modest dose of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self — discovery and memories are a psychological immune response that is triggered when you want to take a break from negativity. Interestingly, those happy memories can be particularly beneficial both to kids in their teens and to society's elders. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally," says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. "That is such a powerfully comforting phenomenon, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn't have to earn our love." Nostalgia can transform even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let's not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to innumerable American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, "after all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then：The white town drowsing in the sunshine of asummer's morning."So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, your first car, a long - gone family pct. As Dr. Sedikidessays，"Nostalgia is ly central to human experience. "But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well："You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time. "312. What did some psychologists in paragraph 2 probably agree?A. Nostalgia will cause some mental problems.B. Nostalgia makes us devoted to the good old days.C. Nostalgia shows you are trying to get rid of loneliness.D. Nostalgia helps us cope with the difficult time we are going through.13. There are many benefits of nostalgia except ________A. It can enable us to know ourselves better.B. It can bring us some comfort when we recall.C. We are likely to gain attention if we recall the happy childhood.D. We can sometimes break away from negativity with happy memories.14. What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A. The bad influence of too much devotion to nostalgia.B. The reasons why we should avoid nostalgia.C. The bad memories that always stick around you.D. The great changes nostalgia will bring to you.15. What's the best title of the passage?A. We all have a soft spot for nostalgia.B. Nostalgia is actually good for you.C. Don't be carried away by nostalgia.D. There are many times when we like to recall.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。

Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.(1)What is your learning style?Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in group work.

The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” William Wordsworth wrote. In the above quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or don’t. Before you start to work in your garden, it’s necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what youwant to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless. Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isn’t suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life’s soil.You don’t have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap(收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It’s a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you’ll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love.A gardener’s trulyarduouswork begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested.4. What is important before gardeners break ground in their gardens?A. Receiving some training in planting.B. Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.C. Having the courage to accept the worst outcome.D. Doing research on the common local garden plants.5. What is compared to getting education by the author?A. Improving the condition of the soil.B. Growing your most favorable plants.C. Taking care of the plants in your garden.D. Selecting proper goals in gardening work.6. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 3?A. Your quality of life depends on your positive action.B. Your experience can help you understand plants better.C. Your choice of soil is an important part in your gardening.D. Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener.7. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. BeneficialB. CreativeC. Boring.D. ToughCA nurse has fulfilled (实现) a promise she made to her patient four years ago to one day attend her daughter's graduation from nursing school.Edina Habibovic, 22, graduated from Chamberlain University's College of Nursing in 2020. Her mother, Sevala Habibovic, 46, died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasn't for me. Then, my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and out of the hospital, ” Edina toldGood MorningAmerica. “When my mom passed away, I thought, ‘I want to dothis.’”she said.Sanja Josipovic, who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield, Illinois, cared for Sevala inside her home. They often chatted and shared the latest news with each other over six months of care.“She was most worried about Edina because she was young and hadn't finished school yet, ” Sanja said. “We are like sisters; we care about and trust each other. She was a powerful and strong minded woman. She wasn't scared to die; she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people. “When Sanja was working,my mom would still try to make her something to eat, no matter how sick she was, ” Edina added. When Sevala's life was coming to an end, she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughter's nursing school graduation. “That was the only thing she was going to miss. Edina's graduation, ” said Sanja, who is a mother of three herself. She agreed.Due to COVID -19, there was no graduation or pinning ceremony.

By managing to become Edina's colleagueDMy first week working in a restaurant, one of the servers said something that stuck with me: Everyone should work in a restaurant for at least a year. At the time, I didn't get it, but I took the advice to heart and worked in restaurants on and off for the next eight years. Before realizing it, I mastered many important skills, one of which is communication skill.When I was little, I was so shy that I used to hide behind my mom whenever someone spoke to me. Andwhen I first started in restaurants, I had two personalities: Restaurant Lizzy and Home Lizzy. It was easier to pretend to be a different person while at work, since it was so different from who I actually was. But gradually, the skills I learned working in restaurants helped Home Lizzy come out of her shell in the real world.When you work in a restaurant, you don't have the luxury of hiding behind your parents to avoid talking to people. I'm still 110% an introvert, but restaurant work helped me communicate. Working in a restaurant not only helped me speak clearly, deliberately and directly but also taught me how to talk about almost everything. Some guests don't want their servers to interact too much with them, and that's fine. But some sit at the bar simply to chat with you. You learn how to judge your guests' level of interest in communicating with you, and how to exit a conversation at the appropriate time.My restaurant work is something that I'm most proud of and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today without those eight years of experience. If you're still on the fence about working in a restaurant for that long, start with one year. I doubt that you'll look back.12. What did the writer think of the server's words?A. Impressive.B. Ridiculous.C. Amusing.D. Logical.13. What do we infer from Paragraph 2?A. The writer tried different jobs.B. The writer became more sociable.C. The writer used an invented name.D. The writer had a hard time at work.14. Which of the following best describes the writer's restaurant work?A. Boring.B. Relaxing.C. Worthwhile.D. Unchallenging.15. What message does the writer try to convey in this passage?A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.B. Things are difficult before they are easy.C. Communication skills advance your career.D. Restaurantwork helps to achieve a better self.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。

Earthquakes have been causing huge damage inHaitisince at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has beenno more kind.The Earth’s outer shell is made tip of tectonic plates (构造板块) that move.Haitisits near the crossing of two tectonic plaits that make up the Earth’s outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction (摩擦力).Haitiis also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes. Those buildings can survive strong winds bat are easy to fail down when the ground shrikes. Poor building practices can also play arole.“I think it’s important to recognize that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster,” said Wendy Bohon, a geologist. “What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know that earthquakes like this can cause huge damage because ofthefault,” said Wendy. “And it’s quite a significant risk in places that don’t have the construction practices to resist the shaking.”Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge inHaiti, which is the poorest nation in theWestern Hemisphere. “While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so,” said Mark Schuller, a professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies atNorthernIllinoisUniversity.Haiti’s government has become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.“There is technical knowledge inHaiti, There are trained architects. There are cityplanners. That’s not the problem,” Schuller said. “The problem is a lack of funding for coordination (协调), and lack of political will from donors to organizations providing aid.”4. Which factor causing the huge damage is highlighted?A. Its overpopulation.B. Its weak government.C. Its geographical location.D. Its weak architecture system.5. What does the underlined part “the fault” in paragraph 4 refer to?A Lacking political will to provide aid.B. Lacking hurricane-resistant; buildings.C. Lacking earthquake-resistant buildings.D. Sitting on the crossing of two tectonic plates.6. What’s Schuller’s attitude towardsHaiti’s government?A Supportive. B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Interested.7. Which of the following can be a problem according tothe last paragraph?A. Fund and will.B. Skilled architects.C. Urban designers.D. Technology and money.CIf you ever find yourself trapped in the wilderness without food, you'llhave to figure out how to feed yourself. Many plants in the wild areedible, but many are also poisonous. So it is necessary to learn how to determine whether the plants you find can be eaten safely.Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level, the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poisoned.Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice any burning, tingling (刺痛), or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and holdit in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait 8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal (活性炭) is available, take that with the water.8. What’s the meaning of the underlined world “edible” in paragraph 1?A. Suitable for using as food.B. Widely spread.C. Existing in large quantities.D. Not widely known.9. What can we know from paragraph 2?A. Planning is unnecessary when using the method.B. Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally.C. Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than testing plants.D. Following the method perfectly can ensure safety.10. Which is the correct order of testing plants in the mouth?① wait and see ② chew it in the mouth③ put it on the tongue④ put it against lips ⑤ swallow itA. ③④②①⑤B. ④③②①⑤C. ③④②⑤①D.④③②⑤①11. Where might the passage come from?A. A student’s diary.B. A science report.C. A guide book for camping.D. A doctor’ s notebook.DIn Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or sting(刺伤) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. Now scientists have figured out what makes the tree’s sting so bad.The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people callit the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you touch a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked(舔) at the places where they’d been injected,indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small s of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.12. Why is a touch on the stinging tree unforgettable?A. Because it has so unusual an appearance.B. Because it is extremely rare in existence.C. Because touching it creates a quite strange feeling.D. Because the pain caused by it doesn’t go away quickly.13. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?A. How it produces poisons.B. What poisons it produces.C. How it benefits from the sting.D. The consequences of its sting.14. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.15. What’s the best title for the text?A. Scientists Discover Stinging Tree's SecretB. Caution: Stinging Tree Can Bite and Poison YouC. Scientists Discover a Strange Species in AustraliaD. Effective Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging Tree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。
