A magazine.C.A newspaper .D.A textbook.BCrossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down.While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So plan to sit for a long period of time？Don’t keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis（麻痹）of some of the muscles in your foot and leg,preventing you from being able to raise your ankle — what we know as that "pins and needles" sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until you feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.5. What can we learn about crossing one’s legs？A. It is a very bad social habit.B. It is usually practiceddeliberately.C. It can do harm to people’s health.D. It can make others feeluncomfortable.6. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can .A. affect your blood pressureB. resist gravity effectivelyC. lead to heart attacks easilyD. improve the function of legs7. In the third paragraph "pins and needles" probably means" ".A. slightly sharp painsB. being a little nervousC. serious muscle injuriesD. being highly flexible8. What is the main purpose of the text？A. T o compare common habits.B. To give readers some advice.C. T o evaluate effects of an experiment.D. To introduce research methods.CGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far？Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spreadof disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist （免疫学家）, encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.9.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because _____.A. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsB. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay inC. they considered bathing as the cause of skin diseaseD. they lived healthily in a dirty environment10.Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing？A. Curious.B. Afraid.C. Approving.D. Uninterested.11.How does the passage mainly develop？A.By following the order of time.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of importance.D. By providing examples.12.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage？A. T o stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt.D. To call attention to the danger of dirt.DWhen I flew into this country, the sides of the runway were littered with destroyed aircraft, large and small. On the seven-hour drive to our hospital, we passed old stone houses built into the sides of mountains with seemingly normalcountry life going on in the small villages, and I wished I were visiting this place as a tourist. But the conflict, which has been ongoing for almost two years, is impossible to ignore：we saw broken-down bridge, destroyed overpasses （天桥） and pieces of shrapnel （弹片） everywhere.You can hear shooting and air attacks throughout the day and night in the hospital. You very quickly get to know the direction of the shooting. I couldn’t help but think about the people living in this situation for much longer than I have, trying to get on with their normal lives surrounded by conflict and fear. The markets are running, and there are people in the streets, but you never know wh en and where there’s going to be an air attack. It’s very sad to think about the fear that they are forced to live with.Our hospital is in a building originally intended as a hotel. Our focus is on children and reproductive health services.I’ll never for get the first twins delivered at the hospital. They were born at just seven months to a young first-time mother, and were small enough to hold in the palm of my hand. Because they were so premature, the chance of their survival was low, but the staff finally saved their lives. And seven weeks later we discharged two very healthy twins, Ola and Osman. Their parents were so appreciative --- it was a joy to see the satisfaction on their mother’s and father’s faces as they left the hospital.It’s amazing to see the direction of the local health staff. The war is affecting them and their families, yet they still show up for work, sometimes crossingfrontlines to get there.13. What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph？A. The country is heavily affected by war.B. The country isn’t worth visiting for tourists.C. The villages are full of destroyed building.D. It took the author a long time to get to the country by air.14. What happened to the twins？A. Their mother died after their birth.B.They were born early.C. They were abandoned during the war.D. They grew up in the hospital.15.What is the author’s attitude towards the local doctors and nurses？A. AshamedB. DisappointedC. AdmiringD.

I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.So here I was, although unwilling to make the two-hour journey through fog and rain. After lunch, my daughter requested me to drive her to Barage. After a ten-minute drive，we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. Then we turned a corner and stopped——and I gasped in amazement.From the top of the mountain to the slopes and valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙) in full bloom. A sea of amazing colors, like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of purple hyacinths. Here and there were breathtaking tulips.A riot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?As we approached the home. We saw a sign that read “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman——Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The s econd was: “One at a Time.”The third: “Started in 1958.”I was so moved by what we had seen. “She changed the world,” I said, not getting over the shock. “One bulb(球茎) at the time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”“Imagine,” I added, “if I had a vision and worked at it，just a little hit every day, what might I have accomplished?”Carolyn looked sideways at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said,“Better yet, start today.”24.Why did the author decide to visit her daughter？A. She missed her very much.B. She didn’t want to disappoint her.C. She must pick her up.D. She has an urge to look at the sea of flowers.25. What does the underlined word “hyacinths” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. A kind of flowers.B. Famous waterfalls.C. Mountain springs.D. A name of a place.26. What did the author learn from the sign?A. Easier said than done.B. Well begun, half done.C. Women can shake the world.D. Little steps add up to big success.27.What is the best title of the passage？A. An Amazing Trip to BarageB. A Moving Story of a M other’s LoveC. A Special Sign on the Way HomeD. A Valuable Lesson From a WomanCEvery year, hundreds of millions of Monarch Butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶) from Canada and the United States journey as far as 2, 500 miles to the forests of Michoacan, Mexico, a place which has the world’s largest insect migration. It’s such a breathtaking sight, but as always, human greed is threatening to destroy it.The Monarch Butterflies start to arrive in Michoacan in late October to make their winterhome in the trees high up in the mountains of the natural reserve. Once there, they gather together in large masses. These masses often become so heavy that they cause tree branches to bend or even break. But there’s a purpose of all these massing — it allows the butterflies to survive in the low nighttime temperatures at these high altitudes.The Michoacan Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary (保护区) is most impressive during the months of February and March, just before the winged insects begin their long journey home.Mexico’s Butterfly Forest is a shelter protected by law, and one of the country’s most popular sights, but that hasn’t stopped people from slowly but steadily dest roying it.Illegal woodcutting in the heart of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve has been a longstanding problem, but criminals are rarely brought to justice. They are often set free after paying some money.Just last month, an even greater threat ro se in Michoacan’s butterfly home. The country’s largest mining corporation gained the right to reopen an old mine in the heart of the monarch reserve. Experts believe that if the mine is reopened, it will likely spell the end of this magical place.And as if all this wasn’t bad enough, the increasing use of herbicides (除草剂) in the American corn belt has led to the decrease of a plant which is essential to the monarchs’ development from egg into butterfly.28. When do the Monarch Butterflies begin to fly back to Canada?A. In January.B. After March.C. In October.D. In December.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The weather.B. The reserve.C. The massing.D. The forest.30. What can we know about the protection of Monarch Butterflies in Mexico?A. It is very satisfying.B. It should be strengthened.C. It cost the government a lot.D. It has saved many butterflies.31. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Monarch Butterflies have a worrying future.B. America has many mines waiting for exploration.C. Monarch Butterflies live in the centre of an old mine.D. The use of herbicides will let Monarch Butterflies lay fewer eggs.DIn the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation (革新) in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”, not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.Take vertical (垂直的) farms, for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrients are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure it’s still fresh when it reaches its final destination.Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO2 output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.32. What is the main idea of the text?A. Voice machines help plants speak up.B. Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.C. IoT has brought great innovation to our future life.D. Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.33. How do sensors attached to plants work?A. By recording farmers harvesting crops.B. By monitoring farmers working their fields.C. By analyzing information to preserve crops.D. By passing information on to a control system.34. According to Paragraph 4, the IoT system can help ________.A. expand the output of cropsB. match supply with demandC. determine the needs of farmersD. move restaurants onto farms35. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vertical farming?A. Negative.B. Indifferent.C. Optimistic.D. Doubtful.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。

Liz Payne.BA ten-year-old from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence (坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage (车库) and a figure (⾝影) that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny’s hunch (直觉). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance (救护车) to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny, for following up on his hunch!24. When seeing a figure in an open garage, Danny ________.A. recognized it was an old manB. thought it was a homeless dogC. realized something was wrongD. believed it was nothing important25. What did Dawn find when she got closer to the garage?A. the dog had gone awayB. Danny’s hunch was wrongC. an old lady waving for helpD. something must have been stolen26. Which of the following can best describe Danny?A. Brave and patient.B. Persistent and warm-hearted.C. Considerate and optimistic.D. Friendly and honest.27. What’s the writer’s attitude toward Danny’s action?A. FavorableB. CautiousC. SkepticalD. NegativeCOne of the nicest things to do during the cold winter is to curl up (蜷缩) with a hot cup of tea.But for Britons,tea is a popular drink all year round. Afternoon tea, high tea, builder’s tea (a strong cup of tea, usually with full-fat milk and two teaspoons of sugar), tea gowns (礼服), tea cakes, tea houses, breaks … they are all everyd ay names and phrases in the UK.Tea has, in fact, become part of the British way of life. And Britons’ preferences for types of tea and how to drink it can really say a lot about them.British anthropologist (⼈类学家) Kate Fox writes in her book Watching the English that several clear messages are sent whenever a Briton makes a cup of tea.She observes that the strongest cups of black tea are usually drunk by the working class. The tea gets weaker as one goes up the social ladder.Sugar means somethin g. too. “Taking sugar in your tea is thought by many to be a sign of a lower-class person: even one makes people suspicious (可疑的)；more than one and you are lower-middle at best; more than two and you are definitely working class,” she writes.Other rules involve how milk and sugar are added, if any is added. For example, drinking smoky black Lapsang Souchong (正⼭⼩种) tea from China with no sugar or milk can be a sign of class worries in the middle class.Tea doesn’t just show class, though; it can also be a social space filler. “whenever the English feel awkward (尴尬) or uncomfortable in a social situation (that is, almost all the time), they make tea,” Fox wrote in her book.28. What can we infer in the paragraph 2?A. Tea is Britons' favourite drink.B. Tea culture is popular in the UK.C. Britons drink tea only in the afternoon.D. Tea names and phrases are received by Britons.29. What does the underlined sentence mean in the paragraph 5?A. The higher social class is , the stronger black tea they prefer.B. The higher social class is , the weaker black tea they prefer.C. The stronger black tea is, the more delicious it tastes.D. The stronger black tea is, the bitterer it tastes.30. What can be concluded from the book Watching the English?A. How a Briton drinks his or her tea reflects his or her social position.B. Britons often judge others’ class by their tea.C. Britons drink tea to show off their special tastes.D. A Briton’s way of drinking tea shows his or her character.31. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. British tea has many interesting functions.B. There are rules to obey when drinking British tea.C. The ways in which Britons drink their tea are very telling.D. Tea plays an important part on social occasions in Britain.DAnts are good navigators (导航员). They often travel long distances to search for food and carry it back to their nests. But how do they do it?An international team of scientists, including researchers at the University of Edinburgh, UK,has recently come up with an explanation. According to the findings, ants use visual (视觉的) memories of their environments and the sun’s position to find their way home. And they can even do it while traveling backwards.The researchers studied a group of desert ants in Seville, Spain. The study's purpose was to find out how ants navigate when they carry pieces of food of different sizes.To make it work, the scientists first trained the ants to follow a particular path back home, including a challenging 90-degree turn. Then the ants were given either a small or a large piece of food to test their navigational skills.Ants with small pieces of food walked forward and cleared the 90-degree turn just fine. However, those with larger pieces sometimes had to turn backwards to drag them. Generally, these ants would set off in the correct direction. But if they stayed too long in the backward position, they would miss the correct turn to reach the nest.Interestingly, not of the backward-walking ants were that stubborn. Some would drop the food occasionally (偶尔) to check their surroundings . So after turning back to pick up their food, the ants would find themselves back on the right path.Barbara Webb, a professor from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Informatic s, said the findings could help people make smarter robots in the future.“Understanding their behavior gives us new insights into brain function and has inspired us to build robot systems that mimic (模仿) their functions”, she told the BBC.Scientists have been able to copy the neural (神经的) network in the ant’s brain. The hope is to invent robots that can explore by themselves in natural areas such as forests.32.According to the new study, ants ________. .A. mainly depend on local landmarks to guide them homeB. cannot navigate well when they are carrying food with themC . prefer to travel in groups to avoid being lost on long-distance journeysD. use the sun’s position and visual memories of their surroundings to navigate33. Why do the researchers study desert ants?A. To find out how ants find their way home.B. To find out how ants carry pieces of food.C. To study whether ants travel backward.D. To study whether ants use sense of sight.34. What inspiration does the researchers get from their findings?A. Robots can be used to explore the forest.B. Ants' neural network can be moved into robots.C. Findings help understand humans' brain function betterD. People can make cleverer robots imitating ants' brain functions.35.What is the best title of the passage？A. Ants’ navigational skills and their possible applicationB. A nts’ traveling habits and brain functionsC. How ants carry food pieces of various sizesD. How scientists test ants’ skills.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。

2019-2020学年河南省平顶山市鲁山第一高级中学高二（上）开学英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AUberUber is available in over 70 cities throughout 40 countries worldwide.You can either choose a typical Uber unmarked car or a regular taxi.The app can show you where drivers are,so you know how long you'll be waiting.You can also get fare quotes（报价）in advance.Your payment source is linked to the app and is automatically charged,so no physical money is ever needed. LyftLyft is a service available in many large cities in the US.However,it offers something different,one of which is Lyft Line.With this service,you can find people that take the same route on a daily basis as you and split the fare with them.Lyft's regular service lets you easily see where rides are,catch one,and easily pay right within the app.Easy TaxiEasy Taxi is available in 86 cities across 26 countries and lets you quickly browse through maps and find locations you'd like to be picked up at.From there,just make sure there are taxis in your area.Confirm your ride and then pay for it within the Easy Taxi app.Once you book a ride,you should see the taxi's plate number and phone number appear on the map,making it easy for you to pick out both the car and the driver.CurbCurb,formerly Taxi Magic,is currently available in around 60 cities across the United States as well as select cities in the United Kingdom,Canada,and Mexico.It ties in with taxi companies and their drivers.As your taxi makes its way to your location,you'll be able to track its progress inside the app.You can link a payment account to Curb to pay your fare through the app.You can also pay in cash.1.Which app is available in the most countries？______A.

"A medal is a simple way to give a positive message," she told Pilotonline.And so was born her charity,We Finish Together,which collects medals from strangers-runners,dancers,swimmers,singers,and even spelling bee winners-and donates them to all sorts of people in need.It is about meaningful acts of kindness that don't cost a cent. Recipients（接受者）have included hospital patients,residents of homeless shelters,and veterans.Part of the process involves the donor writing a note on the ribbon. "This gives them a connection to someone," says Stemple. "If they receive a medal,they know someone cares" Can a simple medal really make a difference？"Yes"，says Joan Musarra,who suffers from pulmonary fibrosis. "I opened my package containing my new medal and the notes of positive,warm thoughts.I was overwhelmed," she wrote to Stemple. "At that moment,I was sitting on my couch breathing through an oxygen cannula because my lungs have become worse so badly.It means so much to me to feel that I am not alone."4.How did Stemple feel after being diagnosed？______A. Excited.B. Upset.C. Confused.D. Bored.5.Why did Stemple's friend give her a medal？______A. To inspire her to win the marathon.B. To have her remember their relationship.C.

The medal is a lifesaver to dying people.B. The medal has positive influences on receivers.C. The medal accompanies the patients like a friend.D. The medal makes a big difference to patients' health.CCoffee comes in many forms.There is steamed,iced,cold brew,and drip-and don't even get us started on mochas,cappuccinos,and lattes.Some of us brew it at home,while others stop by the nearest coffee chain for a quick yet delicious cuppa.But why is it called "a cup of Joe"？It may sound silly,but the nickname, "a cup of Joe"，has several fascinating origin stories.As one legend goes,it all started with Josephus Daniels,the Secretary of the Navy during World War I.Josephus Daniel's biography explains that in 1914，he banned alcohol consumption on all U.S.Navy ships.Since coffee was the next strongest substitute（替代品）and Josephus Daniel had a hand in expanding its popularity,American sailors ironically called it "cup of Josephus"一一"a cup of Joe" for short.While it's an amusing idea,this "a cup of Joe" creation story probably isn't true.The term "a cup of Joe" only appears in writing for the first time in 1930-long after the Navy's alcoholban.So,where did this nickname really come from？Truthfully,no one knows for sure.Still,a far more likely theory claims that "Joe" is the simplified form of the nickname,"jamoke," which combines the words "lava" and "mocha." "A cup of jamoke" might have eventually been shortened down to "a cup of Joe." Others say that "Joe" refers to the average man and is often used as slang for "Yellow or guy".As a result, "a cup of Joe" could be another way of saying"the common man's drink."No matter what you call it（or how you take it），one thing is certain：we can all always count on a cup of Joe to help us function like normal humans in the morning.We coffee lovers have these things in common,too.8.What does the underlined phrase "had a hand in" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Suffered from.B. Benefitted from.C. Got involved in.D. Struggled against.9.What is the purpose of Paragraph 4？______A. To prove the popularity of "a cup of Joe".B. To tell the creation story of "a cup of Joe"C. To list the different writing of "a cup of Joe".D. To present more explanations of "a cup of Joe".10.What does the author convey at last？______A. We should rely less on coffee.B. We should drink coffee more often.C. Coffee lovers have nothing in common.D. Coffee helps us keep awake in the morning.11.What can be a suitable title for the text？______A. Why Is Coffee Called "a Cup of Joe"？B. How Was Coffee Called in the Past？C. The Popularity of "a Cup of Joe"D. The Different Nicknames of CoffeeDIt's already challenging enough for environmentalists to keep beaches clear of washed up trash and plastic debris（残骸）一but the most difficult problem lies in cleaning up all of the millions of tiny microplastics that are impossible to pick up and separate from the sand. Fortunately,a group of engineering students succeeded in developing a massive new vacuum cleaner that can collect microplastics without removing any of the sand from the beach.The 12 Canadian students from the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec built their Hoola One plastic vacuum cleaner as a class project."We did some research and we realized there was no machine around the world to do this kind of job," Hoola One co-founder Sam Duval told Hawaii Public Radio. "So we told eachother,'We will invent it,' and we did it."As a means of testing their machine's efficiency,they recently used it on the sands of Hawaii's Kamilo Beach一which is also notorious for being one of the dirtiest beaches in theworld.Though their first prototype（原型）experienced a number of technical issues,the students managed to fix the problems and tidy up the beach.Using a handheld tube,the machine sucks（吸入）up plastic and sand and dumps them all into a massive tank of water.Since rocks and sand are heavier than plastic,they sink to the bottom of the tank so they can be dumped back onto the beach.The plastic,on the other hand,floats to the top of the tank.According to Hawaii Public Radio,the team left the Hoola One vacuum on the island as a donation to the state department.They are now researching the ecological effects of the vacuum on the beach while they search for funding and sponsorships（赞助）to produce more Hoola One vacuums.12.What is the hardest problem of keeping the beach clean？______A. Picking up plastic debris.B. Removing trash on the sea.C. Separating plastics from the sand.D. Clearing up all the microplastics.13.What do we know about the Hoola One plastic vacuum cleaner？______A. It can collect plastics by removing sand from the beach.B. It has been used widely on the beaches around the world.C. The students tested its efficiency on Hawaii's Kamilo Beach.D. The students gave up the first prototype due to several failures.14.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about？______A. The working procedure of the vacuum cleaner.B. The invention process of the vacuum cleaner.C. The ecological impacts of the vacuum cleaner.D. The special materials of the vacuum cleaner.15.What words can best describe the 12 Canadian students？______A. Generous and stubborn.B. Confident and persistent.C. Devoted and wealthy.D. Admirable and humorous.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Earth is home to around 7，000 languages,around half of which are expected to disappear by 2100.Languages disappear for many reasons.Sometimes younger generations stop teaming a language because parents want children to fit in. (1) Native American children of the late-19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages.The United Nations ranks endangered languages according to their risk level.For example,a "critically endangered" language is one that even grandparents don't speak often.New York's Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left.An "extinct" language has no speakers.It is gone forever.Alaska's Eyak language is one example. (2)(3) In the same way,different languages contribute to cultural diversity.Saving these languages benefits our understanding of other nguages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values.A language may describe something in a way that is funny,too.In Welsh,it rains not cats and dogs,but old wives and walking sticksThe Endangered Language Alliance wants to save languages from disappearing. (4) However,its efforts are limited.If an endangered language is going to make a real comeback,it'll probably get its start in schools.For nearly 100 years,public schools in Hawaii did not teach the Hawaiian language.Now students can keep learning in Hawaiian from elementary schools to college and beyond.(5) At least one did.In 1881，a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3，000-year-old language Hebrew back to life.Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel,with more than 4 million speakers.A.The last person who spoke it died in 2008.B.Why should we save endangered languages？C.Various animals and plants benefit our environment.D.With just 5 speakers left,it is absolutely endangered.E.Can a language with zero native speakers come back to life？F.Sometimes societies force minorities to give up their language.G.The nonprofit group finds native speakers and records their stories.16.

I think smartphones are basically awesome and I have nothing against the basic idea of using smartphones.My problem starts when the lines between fun and work, between alone and together–bee blurred. I’ve just returned from two years in a different country, and haven’t been around my friends for a while. The first several times I met them all, I was surprised to discover that even though we’re all sitting around in the same room, people are actually sitting around smartphones and playing/surfing/taking pictures.Smartphones made it easier than ever before to access emails everywhere. Whether you’re on the bus, in bed or at the bar with your friends – your emails are right there and available to you and this can definitely be a problem. Work is great, but is answering emails at 3 a.m. really necessary?Do you really want to have to choose between friends and work when you’re hanging out in a bar, just because you happened to see that email?Smartphones revo lutionized our lives. I’m not here to oppose that. But should they replace many of the other things we used to be doing, together and alone? If you think about it for a minute, I’m sure you’ll find someone you know who sometimes finds it hard to draw the l ine between phone time and people time. This has been a problem for a while, but smartphones make it that much worse. So don’t throw away your smartphones just yet; but do try to remember, at the end of the day, they’re just phones!24. What does the under lined word “blurred” (para. 2) probably mean?A. Blocked.B. Unclear.C. convenient.D. wrong.25. What happened when the writer met his friends after he returned from abroad?A. They weled him warmly.B. They sat in the same room talking happily.C. They went to a net bar to surf the internet.D. They played with their smartphones.26. The writer is likely to answer emails _____________.A. in his office on the morning of workdaysB. on a bus to workC. in bed at 3 a.m.D. in a bar after work27. What does the writer suggest people do in the passage?A. Throw away their smartphones.B. Check emails all the time.C. Draw the line between phone time and people time.D. municate with others using smartphones.CLike many young people around the world, Emmanuel dreamed of getting a university education in the United States. The 26yearold only told VOA his first name because he is an undocumented immigrant（移民）. This means he does not have the official documents needed to enter, live in, or work in the U.S. legally.Emmanuel came to the U.S. from Mexico five years ago. But when he arrived, he discovered that his dream was much more difficult to achieve than he had thought. But then Emmanuel read about University of the People. University of the People is a university that has no tuition（学费）costs. The university’s classes and teaching materials are all free online. Also, all of the teachers are volunteers.Federal laws in the U.S. do not prevent undocumented immigrants from going to college. But laws do ban undocumented immigrants from receiving government financial aid. The Pew ResearchCenter is an organization that studies social issues around the world. The organization recently reported there were 11.3 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. in 2014. Of those, 49 percent were from Mexico.Many undocumented immigrants like Emmanuel e to the U.S. with little money to pay for things like higher education. College Board is an organization that collects information and resources to make higher education more available. The organization recently reported on the average cost of a fouryear degree at both public and private U.S. universities. The average cost at a public university is $9 410 for a resident of the state where the university is located. The average cost at a private university is $32 405. College Board also reported that 69 percent of financial aid came from the U.S. government in 2014.Emmanuel had no other choice, so he chose to study at University of the People. Quickly, he said, he believed that the university would give him the skills for a future in puter science. Emmanuel said he missed seeing and working with other students in a classroom. But he did love working with students from many countries online.28. Why does the author refer to Emmanuel in the passage?A. To show he is a documented immigrant in the U.S.B. To show the government should stop illegal immigrants.C. To tell the illegal immigrants they will see a hope in their life.D. To prove many poor people can’t affor d universities.29. If you are to attend University of the People, ________.A. you can choose whatever course you preferB. you don’t have to worry about the college tuitionC. you may apply for government financial aidD. you should get in touch with the volunteers at first30. So many data are mentioned in the fourth paragraph to show ________.A. the U.S. can provide people with quality educationB. most people from Mexico can’t afford higher educationC. a private university charge much less than a public universityD. the foundation of University of the People is very necessary31. Which of the following is the proper title for the passage?A. Online University Offers Poor Students a ChanceB. Free Excellent Higher Education for Mexico StudentsC. Almost Half Illegal Immigrants Came from MexicoD. Emmanuel Was Offered a Chance to Attend UniversityDYou never see them, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand(抵挡) almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a ic book. They're known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to oros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flightmemory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. mercial flights by 1960. Early model, often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was pletely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane the area least subject to impact from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to be visible. Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flightdata recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an insulated（隔绝的）case and surrounded by a quarterinchthick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged(潜入水中), they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deepsea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered.32. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.B. The total number of passengers on board.C. The scene of the crash and level of the damage.D. Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.33. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?A. New materials became available by that time.B. Too much space was needed for its installation.C. The early models often got damaged in the crash.D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.34. Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?A. To distinguish them from the colour of the plane.B. To caution people to handle them with care.C. To obey international standardsD. To make them easily seen.35. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.B. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.C. They have stopped sending homing signals.D. They were destroyed somewhere near France.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.选项中有两项为多余选项.How to fight summer weight gainWhen it es to summer, most of us think of outdoor fun. So it seems like we should naturally lose weight over the summer—not gain it. In reality, though, summer isn’t all about beach volleyball and water sports. Lots of summer activities can work against our efforts to stay at a healthy weight.36Get going with goals.When we don’t have a plan, it’s easy to spend summer moving from couch to puter, with regular stops at the fridge. 37 Just be sure to plan for some downtime so you can relax a little!Stick to a schedule. With school out, we lose our daily routines. If you don’t have a specific job or activity to get up for, it’s easy to sleep late, watch too much TV, and snack more than usual.38 For example, get up at the same time each day and eat meals at set times. Plan activities for specific times, like exercising before breakfast, for example. If you have time on your hands, offer to make dinner a couple of nights a week so your family can enjoy a sitdown meal together.39 Summer means picnics and barbecues — activities that revolve around an unlimited spread of food. Pace yourself. Don’t overload your plate. Avoid going back for seconds and thirds. Choose seasonal, healthy foods like fresh fruit instead of highsugar, highfat desserts. Appropriate summer eating sets you up on the right track!Stay busy. 40 In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar, filling your days with things to do can give you a sense of acplishment. That’s especially true if a dream summer job or planned activity fell through. Limit your screen time — including TV, puter, and video games — to no more than 2 hours a day.A. Plan more activities.B. Think about what and how you eat.C. Make sure your summer days have some routines.D. Most of us, however, don’t take summer weight gain seriously.E. When we’re bored, it’s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing.F. The good news is that we can avoid problems if we know what to do.G. Avoid this by setting a specific goal, like volunteering or mastering a new skill.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分。

The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and dau ghters. I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved.Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got through it, finding moments of joy along the way. On the nights when I was home, I’d read my class notes out loud with my daughter. She’d respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn.After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D．to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-grade-student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfish—that my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long-term negative impacts on my kids.Over the past year, though, I’ve started to let go of some of this worry. I’ve realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband landed a job that he is happy with. Anne dreams of becoming amarine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.”Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it’s also rewarding. My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens (镜片) of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow my footsteps, whatever path they choose.24．How did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D．program?A．It was fruitful but exhausting. B．It was the last thing she would do. C．It was hopeful but challenging. D．It was promising for the whole family. 25．Which can best rep lace the word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3?A．boost. B．change.

It seems that everyone would think that man-made diamonds would be better. But wait a minute. Don’t draw your conclusion so quickly.Some recent reports suggest the answer may not be so clear. At the very least, these reports provide evidence of tensions between two different sectors of thediamond industry. Lab-grown diamond companies say they are more moral and cause less harm to th e Earth’s environment as they don’t have to dig deep into the earth for diamonds.The traditional diamond sector notes that its businesses help the communities where they operate mines. It says they provide jobs, help build roads and other infrastructure (基础设施) and make investments in conservation (保护). Some companies, such as De Beers, work on both sides. De Beers sells natural and man-made diamonds.In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission(FTC)investigates reports of deceptive, or misleading, advertising. In April, the commission sent warning letters to eight lab-grown diamond companies. One of the FTC’s concerns was the use of the word "eco-friendly", and similar terms, to describe diamonds made in a laboratory. The lab-grown process requires very high temperatures and uses a lot of energy.Trucost is a company that estimates the costs of using natural resources. Asked by the Diamond Producers Association to study the issue, Trucost found the carbon intensity (强度) of natural diamonds was lower than lab-grown diamonds. The Trucost report did note that diamond miners should reduce their effect on the environment by using more wind power and sunlight.The Reuters news agency reported that the International Grown Diamond Association did not immediately respond to requests for comments about the story.32. What’s the opinion of traditional diamond companies about their business?A. They refuse lab-grown diamonds.B. They bring benefits to local people.C. They cause less harm to the Earth’s environment.D. They are more moral than lab-grown diamond companies.33. Why were lab-grown diamond companies warned by FTC?A. They sold false diamonds.B. They teased customers.C. They took unfair competition.D. They made false advertisements.34. What did Trucost advise diamond miners to do?A. Use renewable energy.B. Give up mining diamonds.C. Change mining equipment.D. Develop lab-grown diamonds.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Natural Diamond Mining Coming to an End?B. Do Diamond Miners Really Protect the Environment?C. Which Kind of Diamond Is Better for the Environment?D. Why Are Lab-grown Diamonds Environmentally Friendly?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。
