Whenthe world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit（联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settli ng dow n to become farmers, and theirIanguages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade,industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory4/ 15educati on, especially globalisatio n and better com muni cati ons in the past few decades, allhave caused many Ian guages to disappear, and domin ant languages such as En glish, Spanish and Chin ese are in creas in gly tak ing over.At present, the world has about 6,800 Ianguages. The distribution of these Ianguages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few Ianguages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Ian guages;the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400;a nd Asia and the Pacific perhaps3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone acco unts for well over 800. The media n nu mber( 中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world ' s Ianguages are spoken byfewer people tha n that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 Ian guages are close to ext in cti on( 消亡),withonly a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia( one, with a questi on-mark): none of these seems to have much cha nee of survival.28. What can we infer about Ian guages in hun ter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in nu mber.C. They had similar patter ns.D. They were closely conn ected.29. Which of the following best explains “ dominant ” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B.Adva need.C. Powerful.D.Modern.30. How many Ian guages are spoke n by less tha n 6,000 people at prese nt?A. About 6,800.B.About 3,400.C.About 2,400.D.About 1,200.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. New Ian guages will be created.B. People ' s lifestyle s are reflected in Ianguages.C. Huma n developme nt results in fewer Ian guages.D. Geography determ ines Ian guage evoluti on.D（2018课标全国I ,D）We may think we ' re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices（装置） well after they go out of style. That 's bad news for the environment —and our wallets —as theseoutdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life —from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how homeenergy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smartphones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn 't throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids ' room, and s uddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house, ” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We' re not just keeping these old devices —we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt ' s team, old desktop monitors andbox TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放） more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007window.So what' s the soluti on（解决方案）?The team' s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.32. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.33. Why did Babbitt ' s team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.34. Which of the followi ng uses the least en ergy?A.The box-set TV.B.The tablet.C.The LCD TV.D.The desktop computer.35. What does the text suggest people do about old electr onic devices?A.Stop using them.B.Take them apart.C.Upgrade them.D.Recycle them.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）（2017课标全国川）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。

We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions（会议）will remain imprinted in memory.A young Syrian woman (Lilith) was invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that she’d actually come. Just a few days earlier, Lilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become attacked targets of violent terrorist groups in the country’s ongoing civil war.Lilith had witnessed horrors no one of her young age should ever see. Despite the further danger it presented, she’d decided to leave her home and her family to find safety here in America. Knowing some of her story, and seeing her sitting through the sessions at the retreat（畏缩不前）---head, covered in a scarf, bowed toward the floor---broke my heart. Lilith’s story touched all of us, including Pam, who was quilt maker. Pam had just finished a beautiful quilt, and had brought it with her. She, along with a few of the leaders, decided to give it to Lilith as a symbol of their comfort and love.During our last session, Lilith was called forward and prayed over, hugged, and wrapped up in that beautiful quilt. I thought of the many hours Pam undoubtedly spent working on it, and the terrible events that led Lilith to this moment---surrounded by the beauty and love quiltembodied. I wept. When they told her it was for her, she wept.25. What is the purpose of the women’s conference?A. To help others in a practical way.B. To win equal rights for women.C. To get together to dance and sing.D. To exchange gifts with each other.26. Why did Lilith go to America?A. To attend the women’s conference.B. To find safety.C. To find her family.D.

What is the meaning of the underlined word?A. a place of interestB. a place of dangerC. a place of conferenceD. a place of shelterCY ou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia”(无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. Y ou can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memoriessuffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt”(neck pain was often reported) and “alone”predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,”said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.”Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,”says Griffiths. “Y ou would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat orInstagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,”says Griffiths.29. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A. We waste too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.30. According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble31. Where can you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a fashion brochure.C. In a science textbook.D. In a popular science magazine. DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in aboring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. through environment of one’s family33. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can .A. surely become a geniusB. still become a genius if he isn’t given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings34. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays35. The best title of the passage can be .A. On IntelligenceB. On GeniusC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education on Intelligence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最佳选项。

My only companion was a dog called Philly which had survi ved the shipwreck. Memories of what happened were still fresThe magnificence of the ship had given us all a false sense of security. As the first signs of the storm started, our captain announced it was nothing much, just another storm. Yet, he w as wrong! The storm hit the ship so badly that large holes wer e made at the sides of the ship. As the freezing water started rushing in, our ship was consumed quickly by the dark water. My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. “Are you hungry?” I spoke my first words ever since th e shipwreck occurred. “Woof,woof!” Barked Philly enthusiasti cally. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too. I co uld not remember when my last meal was, probably a ten-course dinner on the ship. As I had never fished before, I thou ght maybe I could try something simpler, like picking fruits. Wi th Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked int o the forest on the island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this island? I wondere d. As we were looking for fruit trees, we chanced upon one th at bore yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking－we had company. It was a dark-skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and gra ss. I backed away from her, afraid that she would be aggressi ve. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us. Pointing her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly.I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying. Signaling to us to follow her, she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end of the small path, the re was a small village. Tears of joy filled my eyes.What happened to the ship the writer had been on?A. It was frozen in the sea.B. It was deserted because it was insecure.C. It disappeared instantly due to the storm.D. It sank due to the damage caused by the storm.25. According to the passage which of the following can best describe Philly?A. Sensitive and lovely.B. Smart and loyal.C. Caring but impatient.D. Noisy but enthusiastic.26. Why did the writer walk into the forest?A. To take shelter from the storm.B. To go to a small vil lage.C. To look for something to eat.D. To find someone fo r help.27. The woman most probably tried to tell the writer that _____ __.A. the fruit was unfit for eatingB. the writer was impolit eC. the fruit tree was poisonousD. she wasn't afraid of the writerCWhen 4-year-old British royal family member Prince George started his first day of school in September, Chinese was on his curriculum(课程).And he wasn't alone. According to a report published by the B ritish Council in September, about 51 per cent of the UK pare nts want their children to learn Chinese, as it's believed to be one of the most useful languages.In fact, the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Mandarin Excellence Programme in September las t year. Its aim is to make at least 5,000 British secondary scho ol students fluent in Chinese by 2020.Yet, the UK isn't the only country showing a growing interest in Chinese.The language has become the second most spoken foreign la nguage in the United States this year, after only Spanish, with over 2.1 million speakers, according to a survey by 24/7 Wall St, a US financial news website.Many US celebrities, such as Facebook founder Mark Zucker berg and former US President Barack Obama's daughter Mali a Obama, study Chinese as a second language.In April, Arabella and Joseph Kushner, grandchildren of US Pr esident Donald Trump, performed the traditional folk song Jas mine in Mandarin for Chinese President Xi Jinping when the t wo leaders met in Florida.So far, 67 countries and regions have included Chinese on th eir national curriculum, reported the China News Service.As is known, China continues to develop rapidly and Chinese is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people's personal a nd professional growth.“I think everyone believes that China will be the next great su perpower...Even if it’s not a superpower like America, it's still very significant,” Aisling McCaffrey from Canada, who studied at the Renmin University of China, told Xinhua News Agency.“And learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth.”28. The writer mentions Prince George's curriculum in order t o ______.A. compare Chinese with EnglishB. tell something about the royal familyC. introduce the topic of this passageD. introduce the main character of the story29. The reason why many UK parents want their children to le arn Chinese is that ______.A. Chinese is easy to learnB. China is developing very fastC. many famous people are learning ChineseD. Chinese is one of the most useful languages in the world30. The most popular foreign language in the USA is ______.A. ChineseB. EnglishC. SpanishD. French31. A possible title of the passage may be ______.A. How to learn ChineseB. Chinese’s influence world wideC. The importance of ChineseD. The charm of a langua geThe idea of robot rulers, friends and lovers has been a topic o f science fiction novels for years.But according to one mathematical model of how our brains cr eate consciousness, emotional machines will never exist. This is because computers can't handle any process that com pletely integrates (整合) information, so they cannot be conscious or feel, one expe rt says.A mathematical model for consciousness, developed by Giuli o Tononi at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says that the ability to integrate information is a key feature of consciousness.He believes that integrated information can't be broken down i nto smaller pieces in conscious minds, because the brain cont extualizes (将……融入背景) information.For example, when we see a red circle our brains don't see th e shape as a colourless circle plus a shapeless coloured area , New Scientist reported. Instead we see it as a whole — a re d circle; we understand the “wider picture”.It's easy enough for machines to edit a collection of individualimages (图像), but memories are made up of a bank of intertwined (相互交织的) images and experiences and cannot be changed in the sa me way.Researchers have used mathematics to show that computers cannot handle the complex processes needed to fit pieces of i nformation together perfectly.Therefore, if consciousness is based on the integration of lots of pieces of information, computers can't be conscious and ca n't experience emotions like humans.Professor Phil Maguire of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth says that consciousness cannot be created in a ph ysical machine in limited time using limited memory.“It doesn't necessarily mean that there is some magic going o n in the brain that involves some forces that can't be explaine d physically. It is just so complex that it's beyond our abilities t o change it,” he said.His research may mean that lonely humans will not find love with a robot; they are unlikely to be made their slaves either.32. Why do experts think emotional machines won't exist?A. Machines can't solve problems.B. Machines can't integrate information.C. Machines can't handle information.D. Machines can't communicate with people.33. The example mentioned in Paragraph 6 is used to show _ ____.A. machines cannot feelB. the brain has consciousnessC. machines can recognize shapes and colorsD. the brain can contextualize information34. It can be learned from the text that _____.A. the idea of robot lovers won't come trueB. machines can edit intertwined imagesC. robots can fit pieces of information together perfectlyD. computers can experience emotions like humans one day35. What would be the best title for the text?A. How robots workB. Robots will never have feelingsC. Will robots become people's friends?D. What will robots be like in the future?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。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Time to Learn How to SortWhatever we don’t want ---- no matter whether it’s eggshells, newspapers, soda cans or old socks ---- it’s all garbage. And garbage goes to the garbage bin. There seems to be 21 . wrong with that. But do you really know how to throw away garbage properly?China 22 . (promote) garbage sorting for over a decade, but for the majority of the public the concept hasn’t sunk in. Shenzhen issued a new regulation. It says residents will be fined up to 100 yuan and organizations 1,000 yuan for not sorting rubbish 23 . specific groups.“It’s evident that the government is determined to push this forward,” said Zhang Ning, a program officer 24 . (serve) in a Beijing-based public welfare organization. “But I’m afraid the regulation will prove to be counter-productive because garbage sorting has never been achieved by merely imposing severe punishments.”A recent survey found that 49.5 percent of the respondents said they still don’t know how to sort garbage, 25 . 45.5percent just can’t be bothered to do it. “Lots of citizens 26 . (confuse)about what’s recyclable and what’s general waste. For example, it’s scarcely known that tissue is non-recyclable because it’s too moisture-prone and usually too polluted 27 . (recycle).” said Zhang, a representative.According to Zhang, 70 percent of garbage is a“ 28 . (misplace)resource”. For instance, a ton of waste steel can be refined into 0.9 tons of usable steel, and a ton of kitchen waste is able to produce 0.3 tons of organic fertilizer.But all of this is based on the condition 29 . the garbage is categorized properly. And the behavior of households 30 . the sorting process initially starts ---- is the key. Garbage sorting is a chain effect. Misconduct at the very beginning will make all the following efforts go in vain.Garbage sorting is a complex issue and takes patience. So next time when you throw away what is called “garbage”, do it in the right way.五、完形填空(★★)Now, U.S. researchers have identified a new way to treat people infected with tuberculosis (肺结核)before they get sick.Tuberculosis is one of the world’s most ______ health threats.The World Health Organization says tuberculosis kills nearly two million people each year. Another two billion are ______: they are infected, but don’t have symptoms of the disease. Those at highest risk can take medicine, but Vanderbilt University researcher Timothy Sterling says not everyone ______ with the treatment, which is a daily dose of isoniazid(异烟肼，抗结核药)for nine months. So although the medication is highly effective if people take all of their medication, many people do not take all their medication and therefore the effectiveness of the treatment plan is______. As a(n) ______, Sterling and his colleagues ______ isoniazid with another drug, rifapentine(利福喷汀).The combination was taken weekly, not daily, for just three months. And the results of this study showed that the new treatment plan ---- the three months of isoniazid and rifapentine---- was as effective as the nine–month isoniazid treatment plan.______, the short-course, three-month treatment plan had higher treatment completion rates and was also well ______.There was some other difference. The two-drug, combination treatment was administered as directly ______ therapy. That means the patients took their medicine in the presence of a health care worker, to ensure that they followed the treatment plan. This was a large study, involving 7,500 participants in North America, Spain, and Brazil. Sterling ______ that most of the people in this study were HIV-negative. The results might be ______for HIV-positive people. A recent study in South Africa indicated that the combination therapy works well in people infected with HIV as well as tuberculosis, but the study was too small to be______.Timothy Sterling’s research, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, has been ______ by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC. The government health agency recommends the 12-dose weekly combination treatment as an equal alternative to the 270–dose daily treatment plan that has been the______therapy. But because of possible ______ issues, the CDC still recommends the daily treatment plan for HIV–positive patients who are taking antiretroviral drugs or women who are pregnant. Also because of a lack of data, the CDC says children under age 12 should stay with the nine-month daily treatment.31 .

Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female-dominated groups ---- and ladies stay there ---- but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros. In their 20s, they often downsize to smaller male groups.Orangutans (猩猩)Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages ---- times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce. But energy efficiency comes at a cost; growth and maturation take time. Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does.Orcas(逆戟鲸)Killer whales join their mother’s familial group for life. This lasting-relationship seems to increase a pup’s chance of survival; if mom dies, a young male (under 30) is three times more likely to die than a peer whose mother is alive. Risk of death post-mom-mortem rises as kids get older.Harp sealsA harp seal’s “childhood” lasts just 12 days. A pup’s sole purpose during that brief period ofcoddling(宠爱) is to constantly nurse, gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber(鲸脂) every day. Once it’s fat ---- they become greater from 25 to 80 pounds ---- it slides off the ice and takes on the sea.Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride. The wolf spider straps all her babies (40 or 50, on average) onto her back at once, carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider-hood. But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days.46 . According to the passage, which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young?A．Harp seals.B．African elephants C．Orcas.D．Wolf spiders.47 . What can we learn from the sentence “But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days”?A．Other grown wolf spiders will come to take care of the babies.B．The toddlers are too heavy for parents to hitch a piggyback ride.C．Baby spiders are able to live on their own after a short period of time.D．Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.48 . Who will be interested in this passage?A．A student who is doing a project on animal growth.B．A kid who is keen on animal watching.C．A zoo-worker who is responsible for visitors’ safety.D．A doctor who specializes in animals’ health.(★★)As advances in auto-technology have placed a huge number of self-driving machines on our roads and sidewalks, a side product has materialized in recent years: robot-babysitting.In Phoenix, human attendants will remotely monitor Google’s upcoming Waymo robot-taxis, using the cars cameras to evaluate and adapt to passenger or road challenges. State safety regulations typically require that auto-vehicles be accompanied at all times by humans. These professionals’ job titles range from “robot handler” to “safety driver,” but they have essentially the same responsibilities: monitoring robot behavior for safety and performance, and answering questions about the technology. Broadly speaking, robot-babysitting jobs fall under the umbrella of careers in automation, which include maintenance, engineering, and programming.However, some observers note that certain kinds of robot-babysitting –-- the kind that is boring anddoesn’t require much education –-- can make for thankless work. The safety drivers who sit in self-driving cars have described their roles as“exhausting” and “demanding,” and many told me about t he constant pressure to stay vigilant at all times. “It’s incredibly hard to sit in a chair and stare at a computer without doing anything for eight hours,” Ramsey said. “But you do not need a Ph.D. to do it.” In March 2018, the field of robot babysitting took a beating when a self-driving Uber in Tempe, Arizona, hit a 49-year old named Elaine Herzberg. Dashcam footage showed that Rafaela Vasquez, the car’s safety driver, had not been looking at the road when the accident occurred. Investigators are deciding if Vasquez will be charged with murder.According to the McKinsey Global Institute, 10 million to 800 million jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030. In the long term, it’s inevitable that robot-babysitters will go the way of elevator op erators and lamplighters. But they’ll also birth new robot-related roles.“A huge number of jobs will be created as auto-vehicles are loosed into the environment,” Ramsey said. In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schoolcraft College, a community college in Michigan, in auto-vehicle repair: Toyota has trained students in maintenance as well. “We might even see a return to low-level jobs where people come and fuel the car for you,”Ramsey said. “Until we can wirelessly charge, someone needs to refuel them.” The hardest-to-automate industries, as it happens, are the ones that require looking after humans: childcare, education, health-care aides. Robot babysitters might feel like they have gained the job of the future. But in fact, real babysitters might be better positioned.49 . Robot-babysitting jobs do NOT include _______________.A．answering the questions about the technique.B．observing the certain kinds of the robot-babysitter.C．monitoring the potential problems of the auto-vehicles.D．maintaining the vehicles which are out of order.50 . The underlined word “vigilant” most probably means “.”A．grateful B．suspicious C．fit D．alert51 . According to Ramsey, what will happen when auto-vehicles are released into the market?A．A lot of opportunities will be created.B．A large number of people will be out of work.C．Auto-vehicles will become much cheaper.D．Many people will turn to buying auto-cars.52 . What’s this passage mainly about? A．The Rise and Fall of Robot Babysitters.B．The Future of Auto-Vehicles.C．The Life and Employment of the Future.D．The Position of Robot Babysitters.七、(★) Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The North StarAmong the pile of stars in the universe, there are a couple that are of great importance to people on Earth. The sun, of course, is one of them. The other is known as Polaris, the North Star. 53 . . Therefore, it is a great compass(指南针).When people in the northern part of Earth look toward Polaris, they can be certain that they are facing north. The permanence of Polaris in the north sky has helped countless people find their destinations.Before the invention of modern navigation tools, sailors relied on Polaris. From the top of their ships, sailors would look for Polaris to figure out their place at sea. They figured out the angle between the star and the horizon to determine their latitude(纬度). As long as the equations were not wrong, the results were very reliable. Polaris also let sailors determine North, South, East, and West. 54 .To those who sail at night, changeable storms and dark clouds were more than annoying things.55 . .It’s possible for a captain to make an accidental wrong turn. The ship could become stranded at sea, and the frustrated captain would have no way to get the ship back on the right course. The sailor’s fears wouldn’t be relieved until the clouds cleared and Polaris came back into view. Even today, sailors sometimes choose to steer by using Polaris on clear nights.56 . . The Big Dipper, a constellation that is well known in astrology, appears to revolve around Polaris. The handle of the Big Dipper always points to the North Star. When people get lost, it’s comforting to know that their problems can be relieved by looking at the sky.A．It’s not difficult to tell the Polaris apart from the pile of other stars in the universe.B．People who are lost can be relieved by gazing up at Polaris.C．By knowing directions and their location, sailors could easily steer their ships.D．They could destroy entire journeys by blocking the view of Polaris.E．It’s certain that the Polaris is part of a constellation(星座), which is not far from it.F．It is special because it is the only star that always appears to be in the same place in the sky.八、概要写作(★★) 57 . Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Unfair ComparisonsThanks to social media, the distance between friends is smaller than ever. But does that make us happier? Not necessarily. A recent study has found spending too much time comparing your life with the seemingly perfect lives of your friends on social media can result in depressive symptoms.We’ve all done it ---- browsing through our WeChat friends’ updates while feeling that green-eyed monster holding its head in our minds: Are their homes bigger and more tasteful? Are their vacations more expensive and exciting? Are their careers more successful and rewarding?Comparison is the thief of joy. The more time you spend on social media, the more likely it is for you to feel depressive symptoms, according to a new study out of University of Houston.The study, led by Mai-Ly Steers, examines the potential impact online social comparison can have on a person’s mental health.“The underlying mechanism is social comparison,” Steers said. “The reason why you feel these feelings is that you tend to socially compare yourself with your friends.”This social comparison theory was popularized by US psychologist Leon Festinger in the 1950s. According to an article in The Atlantic, Festinger argued that people have born tendencies to track their progress and measure their self-worth by comparing themselves with other people. That social comparison leads to feelings of insignificance and insecurity. Research has since found that making social comparisons, especially upward comparisons (to people we think above us for whatever reason), are associated with negative health outcomes like depressive symptoms and decreased self-esteem.“You can’t really control the strong desire to compare because you never know what your friends are going to post. In addition, most of our friends tend to post about the good things that occur in their lives, while leaving out the bad. If we’re comparing ourselves with our friends’‘sharable highlights’, this may lead us to think their lives are better than they actually are, and thus make us feel worse about our own lives.”So if you are the jealous type, maybe think about signing off of your WeChat for a while. Your well-being may depend on it.___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________九、汉译英(★★) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.58 . 尽管他已经非常尽力，他还是没能弥补损失。

2019年某校高考英语模拟试卷（二）第二部分：阅读理解（共 20 题，每题 2 分，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 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项．1. Dreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? We've come up with 4of the top picnic areas across the US．Cumberland Islands, GeorgiaJust a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a picnic paradise．It's an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50miles of hiking trails （小径）．Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it's still a rural area the stars line upfor a spectacular show at night and creates the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity．Giant Park, ChicagoIf you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20﹣day, lake﹣front, foodie festival that happens in October each year．Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends．If you are there on July 4tℎ, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks displayat the Navy Pier．Cranberry Islands, MaineHere, you'll enjoy natural picnics with island views．The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20minutes offshore from Acadia National Park．You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry （渡船） service．Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it's a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands．Big Sur, CaliforniaThe Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem．Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, and unique geological （地质的） formations．It's good to have a picnic there．We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance．（1）What are Cumberland Islands like？________A They are just next to Savannah．B They haven't lost their naturalness．C They are almost covered in Spanish moss．D They have a spectacular show every night．．（2）Where can you enjoy observing wildlife with a telescope？________A At the Navy Pier．B In the Deep South．C At Acadia National Park．D Atthe Point Lobos State Reserve．．（3）Why does the author write this passage？________A To introduce some picnic areas．B To share personal stories about picnics．C To tell readers some good ways to relax．D To offer readers tips for winter holiday．．（4）Where can we most probably read this passage？________A In a personal dairy．B In a science report．C In a travel magazine．D In a geography textbook．2. Solar energy systems&power plants do not produce air pollution, water pollution, or greenhouse gases． Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment, when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment．However, some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic（光电池的） cells thatconvert sunlight into electricity． Some solar thermal （保热的）systems use potentially ________ liquids to transfer heat． Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment． U． S． environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials．As with any type of power plant, large solar power plants can affect the environment near their locations． The placement of the power plant may have long﹣term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals． Some solar power plants may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators． Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources． In addition, the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam．The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day． However, on the surace of the earth, solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source．The amount of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight varies by time of day and location． Weather and climate conditions affect the availability of sunlight daily and on a seasonal basis． The type and size of a soIar energy collection and conversion system determines how much of the available solar energy we can convert into useful energy．（1）Which of the following best explains "hazardous" underlined in paragraph 2？________ A inexpensive B dangerous C ineffective D abnormal．（2）What influence can large solar power plants have on the locations？________A Polluting the ground water．B Protecting the habitats of plants andanimals． C Damaging the local natural balance． D Attracting birds and insects to the area．．（3）What does the last paragraph mainly tell us？________A Different areas receive different amount of solar energy．B How to convert solar energy into useful energy．C The relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight．D Some factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection．3. Digital grounding（限制）is when parents or caregivers limit or completely take away access to technology from children． According to a study conducted by Pew Research, 65% of parents have digitally grounded their teen by taking away their teen's cellphone or Internet access as punishment．Because children are so connected with their technologies, digital grounding may seem like a logical step for parents． Take away a child's most cherished item and they will quickly learn from their behavior． But the idea of digital grounding isn't as clear﹣cut asthat． Instead, it may be a lose﹣lose situation for parents and kids, alike．For most parents, the goal of grounding isn't to make their children unhappy or sad． It is to teach a lesson in the hope that they won't engage in whatever behavior got them introuble in the first place． Unfortunately, though, digital grounding is often just punishment, not discipline． If a child stays out past curfew（约定的最晚回家时间）, a punishment would be hitting or yelling at them． Discipline would be not letting them goout the next weekend because they failed to follow rules．We've all been there﹣we've caught our child doing something wrong and in the heat of the moment laid out a strict punishment． We may have been feeling hot﹣headed, embarrassed, or upset． Often, though, these punishments don't align（结盟）with the bad behavior．While digital grounding may solve the problem temporarily, it won't provide children with the guidance theyneed to act appropriately in the future． Instead of grounding, show your child what they did wrong and give them the chance to act differently．This way, they will learn from their mistakes in a practical manner and figure out ways to be safe and smart with technology．There's no denying it: technology is here for the long﹣haul． This is why some parenting experts don't recommend digitally grounding your children． It doesn't focus on the endgoal of safe behavior． They recommend teaching them good habits as soon aspossible, rather than taking away their technology． By digitally grounding them, you are putting a bandage over the wound, rather than treating it．Now, when we say that digital grounding is a lose﹣lose situation, we're not saying that disciplining your children in general is a lose﹣lose situation． Discipline is a great way to teach children lessons, when used appropriately．（1）Which of the following is a proper form of discipline according to the author？________A Hitting or yelling at children．B Laying out a strict punishment in the heat of the moment．C Taking away access to cellphones from childrencompletely． D Forbidding kids to go out the next weekend if they stay out past curfew．．（2）What does the author think of digital grounding？________A It benefits children a great deal．B It is no better than disciplining．C Parents can use it to correct kids' behavior．D Neither parents nor children gain benefits from it．．（3）What does the author suggest parents do instead of grounding？________A Give kids more free time．B Help kids form good habits．C Act appropriately in public．D Put a bandage over the wound．．（4）What's the purpose of the text？________A To inform us of ways of punishing kids．B To explain what digital grounding means．C To show how to parent children in digital times．D To prove digital grounding is not a good parenting way．4. The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel． Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me． They asked typical travelers' questions﹣where wasI going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her． My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together．"Why don't you travel with us?
