John Urschel was living a life many athletes only dreamed of. He was a player in the National Football League(NFL). Until Thursday, the 26-yearold Urschel played for the Baltimore Ravens football team. But not anymore. He announced he was giving up football to study math at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Urschel played in the NFL for three years. He came to the Ravens after playing in college at Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania.Urschel was well-known among American sports fans for being both a good football player and also a mathematician. Urschel studied complex math, like advanced algebra and machine learning. He wrote about his studies in a 2015 article in The Players Tribune. It was called "Why I Still Play Football ". He wrote that he loved math, but also loved to play football.Urschel was an offensive lineman. That means he used his large body--over 1.9 meters tall and 136 kilograms--to keep the opposing team's players from tackling his teammates. But also means that he ran into other players over and over again. A study was released about the1/ 26brains of American-style football players. Researchers examined the brains of 1ll former NFL players who had died. All but one of them showed signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. That is the brain disease known as CTE. It is linked to hits to the head that are common in football.The Baltimore football team posted the news on Twitter. The team just started practicing for the new season. Baltimore's coach is John Harbaugh. He said, "We wish him all the best in his future efforts.”Urschel is not the only football player to announce his retirement this week.

It’s responsible for winter tourism as we know it today. It was a small band of English holidaymakers that changed Switzerland forever. In 1864 a bet took place between hotelier Johannes Badrutt and the vacationers on a damp September evening in St Moritz. As they sat around the fire at the Engadiner Kulm Hotel, concerned about returning to the foggy London winter, the Swiss manager saw a golden opportunity.“You holiday here in summer,” he challenged them over a bottle of red wine. “Why not enjoy the mountains year-round? Winter is so pleasant that on fine days you can even walk without a jacket.” Attracted by the promise of clean skies against a backdrop of towering peaks, the Englishmen were pleased to accept it; up until then, St Moritz had been a modest hiking destination in July and August. But if Badrutt’s promise proved false, the hotelier would pay for their journey and winter-long stay. How could they lose?Come mid-December, the group of men returned to Switzerland. Towards the end of their week-long journey, sitting on a horse-pulled---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ sledge and wrapped head-to-toe in furs, they went through the 2,284m Julier Pass in southeastern Switzerland. But by the time of their arrival in St Moritz, the skies had cleared, they were sweating abundantly, and Badrutt, jacketless and with his shirt sleeves rolled up, was there to greet them.Of course, Badrutt won the bet. Word quickly spread throughout Britain about St Moritz’s distinctive climate—dry and sunny with a high degree of snow certainty. Year-round tourism landed the Alpine town of St Moritz.That Badrutt almost single-handedly marketed this undeveloped winter wonderland is a little unbelievable. The first tourist office in Switzerland had been established in the same year as the bet. Other resorts like the ones in Davos and Grindelwald were also popping up then. The story of St Moritz is, in some ways, also a tale of social transformation. But what Badrutt did made the Swiss mountains accessible in a way that no one else had done before, so his role as pioneer cannot be downplayed. 1.What can we infer about Johannes Badrutt? A.He had a good sense of business. B.He was a man with some disabilities. C.He disliked living in mountains. D.He was addicted to gambling. 2.How did the British vacationers react to the bet? A.They refused it because they thought it was unfair.7/ 26B.They’d rather pay for their winter journey by themselves.C.They thought that a jacket-free walk was possible.D.They were sure that Badrutt would lose the bet. 3.What finally made Badrutt the winner of the bet? A.His warmest welcome. B.The hotelier’s courage and wealth. C.The vacationers’ passion for travelling.3---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ D.The unique climate of St Moritz.4.What does the author think of the success of St Moritz?A.Davos and Grindelwald helped a lot.B.He owes it completely to the bet.C.Badrutt played an important role.D.The success was made by tourist office.4、Michelin inspectors, the super secret spies of the restaurant industry, are the anonymous(匿名的) keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They’ve been writing anonymous reports ofrestaurants for over 100 years.“We say it’s a little like th e CIA,” said inspector “M” with a laugh. She asked that heridentity not be revealed. “My whole life is staying under the radar, staying away from cameras,using fake names, trying to steal in and out of restaurants quietly.”Along with their boss, Jean Luc Naret, the director of the Michelin Guide, about 90inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the cooking equivalent (等价物) ofan Oscar, the Nobel Prize and Megamillions jackpot (百万彩票) all at once. The Michelin Guidecovers 23 countries, and out of the 45,000 rated restaurants, less than 100 have the top rating —only nine American restaurants carry three stars.If the name “Michelin” brings the tires on your car to mind, you’re not too far off. TheMichelin rating began in France in 1900 as a9/ 26marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought theircustomers would bum more rubber if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.Inspector “M” admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life. “Most of the time wedine alone,” she said. “It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and t he atmosphere andcapture the entire experience.” To cover their tracks, “M” said sometimes two inspectors will dinetogether and write two separate papers. It’s better than saying “table for one”, right?“When you’re really, really into food and very crazy about food, everything else that’s goingon around you isn’t so important,” she said.1.The underlined words “under the radar” in Paragraph 2 mean.A.living in dangerB.being the focus of the mediaC.trying to be unnoticedD.making programs on the radio2.The Michelin rating was first carried out in order to .A.open more hotels and restaurantsB.bring more convenience to driversC.make people familiar with “Michelin”D.make a profit by selling more tires of a certain brand3.Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can.A.cut the expense on the foodB.protect their identitiesC.save trouble by sharing a paperD.talk about the food over the meal4.What would be the best title for the text?A.M’s experience as a CIAB.The legend of---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Michelin brothers411/ 26C.Michelin inspectors: food industry spiesD.Michelin — a giant in tire and restaurant industry 5、 It can be truly terrifying to fall into a frozen lake. ①__________In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think.As you first enter the freezing water, you should breathe quickly at once. Remember to get control of your breathing and not to move around. ②__________This means that it takes about one minute to gain control of your breathing, and ten minutes to move before you get too cold. The final one is to remind you that it will take one hour before you become unconscious.Take the first minute to fully focus on your breathing. Slow it down, and then look around to see if you can locate the thickest area of ice. When you locate the ice, stretch your arms over the surface, and then begin the flutter kick(浅打水)until your body becomes horizontal with the surface. ③__________It is possible that you can live for several hours after passing out. This, however, does require some planning. \ou only have about 10 minutes before your muscles and nerves become too cold to work. Besides, what if you feel too weak to go on and you cannot get out? ④__________The point is to make sure your coat can freeze to the ice, so that if you lose consciousness, you will keep your head out of the water. ⑤__________ A.

While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.1.What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?A.They were treated cruelly.B.They were abandoned in streets.C.They received warm welcome.D.They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.2.Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?A.People should adopt the dogs and cats.B.Animals are too cruel to humans being.ernment can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.D.It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.3.What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.updateB.replaceC.post againD.download4.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A.No Chinese city joins this type of movement.B.San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.C.Americans care about animals more than humans.D.More and more cities are involved in animal rights.3、 Two deer jumped out in front of 16﹣year﹣old Amanda Floyd's car. She stepped on the brake, sopping the car just in time. But later, she strted texting.Distacted (分心的),Amanda turned left and right, then crashed into another car. Luckily, she wasn't in a real car﹣﹣she was in a driving simulator (模拟器) at Roosevelt High School, Ohio,US. "I never really realized that cars make a turn that much," Amanda, a Junior, said. She added that she wouldn't text while driving anymore.The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, while texting, or while talking on the phone.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distacted driving chaimed 3,450 1ives in 2016 alone. Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.The simulator is basically a computer program. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a seringn whee! (方向盘) ,brake and gas pedal (油门踏板). It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.Students choose a distraction, such as driving while drunk or texting. They always crash, of course. Then, they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving: how much damage they've caused, what their fine is, if anyone died in the accident, and if they're going to go to prison."It teaches how to drive without being on the road," said Shante Thompson, 16. She had just crashed into a deer.ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates."Driving is such a major responsibility, so take it seriously" he said."Put away your cellphone. A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It can not only change your life, but it can change someone else's life forever. The results are serious."1.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph One?A.Introduce the topic of the text.B.Illustrate the author's point of view.C.Provide some advice for the readers.D.Offer some background information.2.Why is the driving simulator project introduced to Roosevelt High School?A.It tests the students' ability to stay focused.B.It gets students to have fun between classes.C.It teaches students how to deal with taffec accidents.D.It makes students aware of the dangers of distracted driving3.What can we know about the driving simulator?A.It is connected to the local police station.B.It is a real car but has large computer screens.C.It atracts the students' intrest as a computer program.D.It benefits the students who use it more than those who only watch.4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Traffic rules in Ohio, US.B.Danger of distracted driving.C.Simulated driving for students.D.Advantages of computer games.4、Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinkingin sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reducedair-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.1.What's the author's attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Uncaring.2.Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A.To follow an old practice.B.To help reduce energy use.C.To completely replace air conditioners.D.To help cut down on daily expenses.3.What's the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?A.All parties should get started at the same time.B.The basic architecture should be finished first.C.Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.D.Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.4.What would be the best title for the text?A.Waste less, live betterB.Goodbye, air conditioningC.How to reduce the energy costD.Green buildings call for integrated design5、When you are dealing with a stressful situation or going through a hard time, people in your life can help you.

His grandfather and his father were ocean explorers and documentary filmmakers. Fabien spent his early years on his grandfather's ships. Today, Fabien follows in his family's footsteps to protect the planet's endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 2000-2002, he created a TV special called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916. Then in 2003-2006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潜艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures.For the next four years (2006-2010), Fabien was part of a series called, Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物种) and environments.In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one f ish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its fina l goal is to plant 1 billion “fish” worldwide.From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate change and pollution are affecting theoceans. Fabien's Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (显露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘)of what lies beneath.Fabien is currently working on a documentary film about the adventuresof Mission 31, as well as building an Ocean Learning Center to provide children around the world with the opportunity to learn about oceans andengage with ocean explorers directly through social media.8.What is Not Fabien’s job?A.

Fantastic Wildlife.DOver the years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-timemain cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’　goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which shouldnot be considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than aform of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majorityof the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾) ability. It’s a veryeasy for them to go into competitivecommon thing for gymnasts, so it’scheerleading. Usual ly these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnasticsexperience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They alsoperform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the a in different positions that require strength and workingheld by “bases”　with other teammates.Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rulesunder which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique,creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the betterthe score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience greatdifficulty in their performance.Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance hasto be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during whichthe cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of thehardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serioussports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times thenumber than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air andmove down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in themore accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even thesmallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entireteam down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is outof reach.12. What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?A. To compare skills of participants.B. To make the audience feel amused.C. To attract more people to watch events.D. To cheer up the competitors on the court.13. The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”．A. examineB. combineC. identifyD. replace14. We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.A. lacks necessary guidelines to followB. enjoys greater popularity than other sportsC. requires more designed actions than gymnasticsD. has a relatively high rate of damage to the body15. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA B CD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。

A (2019·江西省三校联考)A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to“read” human personalities.The eyes，they say，are the windows to the soul.And if that is true，computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul.That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality，conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality，”wrote the researchers，led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher，whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements，then determined their personality traits with“well-established questionnaires”for determining the personality type，according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits，such as “neuroticism，extraversion(外向)，agreeableness，conscientiousness，as well as curiosity”，the scientists wrote.“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices，even robots，allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines，”Loetscher said.“People are always looking for improved，personalized services.Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information，“Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express.This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural，and better at interpreting human social signals.”The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies，according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。

That is a question that many parents ask themselves. In my opinion, homeschooled kids can give reliable answers.Kayla Murray, who lives inGreensboroNorth Carolina, started homeschooling almost eight years ago, after attending two local schools. “Homeschooling is school at home,” like the name says, but it’s not just that/ she says. “You're able to learn more and do more.”Having experienced learning at both school and home, Kayla says that she prefers the latter. “With homeschooling, I can do schoolwork in my pajamas, and no one cares,” she says, “you also have more chances. Earlier this year, my family and I were able to take a short vacation and go to an air show. My siblings and I get to take the day off for our birthdays. This year, I spent that time reading and playing the piano and guitar.”There are, however,drawbacksof being homeschooled, Kayla says, especially “the lack of people”. While she doesn't miss homework, al school, she did enjoy getting to see my friends every day.”Matthew Dimmette, also fromGreensboro, used to be a homeschooler. He now attends public high school. He says being homeschooled is quite different from going to public school. The differences depend on how you arc homeschooled and the things you do. “For me, it wasn't really different in terms of the classes but the school environment was a big change atter hearting at home. says Matthew.Talking about his homeschooling experience, Matthew says the best part of it was being able to learn what he wanted to. Yet the main disadvantage was that he couldn't do many experiments in homeschooling unless taking classes at different places. “My interest in science has been growing quickly in recent years, so I chose to go to public school,” he says.4. What does Kayla like about learning at home?A. She can spend her time more freely.B. She can always stay with her siblings.C. She can play the instruments she likes.D. She can celebrate her birthday at home.5. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Concerns.B. Reasons.C. Changes.D. Problem.6. Why did Matthew choose to go to public school?A. He wanted to make more friends.B. He wanted to do experiments in labs.C. He wanted to take all kinds of classesD.He wanted to experience the school environment7. What in the authors attitude cowards homeschooling?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D. Unclear.CMany of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.8. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.A. chiliescan be beneficialB. chilies are popular inAmericaC. chilies can be dangerousD. serious headaches can be dangerous9.

She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."12. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.13. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.14. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.15. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.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。

AIt was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child's bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a basket of chum into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the boxes of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of them. I lifted it off and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not enough to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous leather belts with metal buttons around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (纹身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to loosen the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.”My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a human heart in a simple act of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (先入为主) I may have had. I will never forget it.1．What does the underlined word “chum” mean in Paragraph1?A．Gifts. B．Food.C．Goods. D．Souvenirs.2．Why did the author loosen the box when seeing the man?A．The author didn't want to buy it. B．The man needed it more.C．The author was frightened by the man. D．The man got the box first.3．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Best Christmas Gift. B．The Largest Man I Have Ever Seen.C．An Unforgettable Bike. D．A Shopping Experience.BAs technology in the security field advances, so does the intelligence of the burglars in prevailing over this technology. Gone are the days when a simple alarm system, connected to your phone line, was enough to protect you from potential security risks.Cellular alarm systems (蜂窝报警系统)are a replacement of the traditional wired phone line security networks. These systems work just like your cell phone. A cellular module is placed in the main control panel and it sends signals, without the use of wires, to the monitoring station. The cellular signal is sent via the data part of a cellular signal, much like a text message.Sensors can be placed anywhere in your house. Whenever there is an emergency, the relevant sensor picks up the unusual activity and sends a cellular signal to the main control panel. The control panel serves more than one purpose, which sends a cellular signal at the same time to the monitoring service at the back end. The monitoring service later informs the relevant authorities in the form of high-pitched sirens (高音警笛声). Typically it takes a few minutes for emergency services to arrive at the scene. Depending on the efficiency of your monitoring service and the local authorities, help should arrive soon and deal with the potential threats.It allows you to monitor your house remotely. All you have to do is simply access the cameras from your phone and keep a check for any unusual activities while you are not around. With cellular technology securing your house, you don’t have to worry about the power failure or even burglars cutting your phone lines.Since these systems operate on batteries, you should be careful about when the batteries die out. There might be other appliances including microwave ovens and WiFi in the house that can cause disruption (干扰). Ensure that your cellular alarm system's range is not affected by the presence of these appliances. Many homeowners tend to go for wireless systems due to the ease of installation (安装）factor. However，keep in mind that a non-professional installation might actually leave the system easy to damage. 4．What do the underlined words ''prevailing over'' mean in Paragraph 1?A．Improving. B．Defeating.C．Worrying about. D．Looking into.5．How can the authorities know an emergency is happening?A．They hear high-pitched sirens.B．They read the cellular signal.C．They check the control panel online.D．They notice the unusual activity via sensors.6．What can we know about the cellular alarm system?A．It looks like a phone. B．It is energy-saving.C．It needs to be improved. D．It is wireless.7．What's the purpose of the last paragraph?A．To give cautions about the system.B．To introduce the benefits of the system.C．To call on people to watch out for security risks.D．To teach people to install the system correctly.CBluePlanetII's latest episode (情节) focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning inplastic.Though it seems that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don' t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.8．Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A．The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B．Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C．Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up.D．The world couldn't possibly function without plastics.9．How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A．By citing quotes from leading experts. B．By making a comparison and contrast.C．By listing examples from his own experience. D．By presenting solid statistics.10．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．We reap what we sow. B．The shortest answer is doing.C．All things are difficult before they are easy. D．Actions speak louder than words.11．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The oceans become choked with plastic. B．Ocean plastic is a global issue.C．BluePlanetII has left viewers heartbroken. D．Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.D“If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations.Intellectual humility means recognising that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means weshould acknowledge that we're probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand andseek out the sources of wisdom that we lack.The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist TaniaLombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions (错觉) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding — and the more easily we can recall an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successful ly learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs of the apps and sites that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they recognise that their own opinions might not be valid.At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias – the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chanc e or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully.The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people tum into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to l earn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations, notes.12．The passage is mainly about ______.A．the harm arrogance does to usB．the key elements to a fulfilling lifeC．the significance of intellectual humilityD．the way people access information online13．Technology enhances our illusions of wisdom because it ______.A．enables people to think criticallyB．offers too much unreliable informationC．allows easy access to abundant informationD．makes it hard for people to recall information14．According to Para.3, intellectually humble people ______.A．value others’ opinions more than their ownB．use online information to better themselvesC．are unwilling to show their strengthsD．prefer to solve difficult problems15．The author will probably agree that ______.A．intellectual arrogance is the result of evolutionB．intellectually arrogant people often lack team spiritsC．successful people are often unaware of their limitationsD．circumstances don’t favor intellectually arrogant people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。
