That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 death occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发病率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study, followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish (无脂肪鱼) than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.B. Heart doctors won't call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.C. Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America.D There's a low incidence of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.62. The underlined part "this relationship" refers to the connection between_________and the incidence of heart disease.A. the amount of fish eatenB. regular fish-eatingC. the kind of fish eatenD. people of different regions63. The passage is mainly aboutA. the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB. the effect of fish eating on people's healthC. the changes in people's diet in recent yearsD. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures64. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States?A. Because American people drink too much spirits.B. Because there are a great many fat people there.C. The author doesn't give a definite answer.D. Because American people eat too much fatty fish.65. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study?A.550,000B.275,000C.110,000D.852CI was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, I'd be busy 24 hours a day. The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn't realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull:“Peter was late because the alarm clock didn't go off."Isn't it remarkable, I thought, how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said,“They're supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not.True, Mikey?" The students looked at me nervously.“Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note- the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You're so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study.”Everyone smiled as I went on,“You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God' or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God'.”Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed.The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I'd like you to see me in my office."When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said,“I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you.”66. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?A. He reported them to the headmaster.B. He lectured them hard on honesty.C. He had them take notes before lunch.D. He helped improve their writing skills.67. The underlined word "forged" in the third paragraph means“_________”.A. formerB. copiedC. falseD. honest68. The author found that compared with the true excuse notes, the produced ones by the students were usuallyA. less imaginativeB. more impressiveC. worse writtenD. less convincing69. The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so the students could learnA. the importance of being honestB. how to write excuse notes skillfullyC. the value of creative writingD. how to be creative in writing70. What did the headmaster think of the author's way of teaching?A. Effective.B. Difficult.C. Misleading.D. Reasonable.DWith child behavior, there is almost much more than it meets the eye. Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.For instance, a little child's pattern of getting into cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told not to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration. If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries. When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition, they are more likely to accept and appropriately monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the child's safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young child's attempt to express physical affection for a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates a teen's need for independence.The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can appear to be oppositional, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level. However,when viewed at more meaningful level, the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesn't mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a child's behavior, adults might gain a fuller understanding of what they're dealing with, which can create more flexibility in how they respond.71、According to Paragraph I, we can know that child behavior________.A. is very changeableB. is inacceptableC. occurs at different levelsD. is fully understood by adults72. The example in Paragraph 2 mainly shows that_________.A. parents should properly punish child behaviorB. parents should keep children's safety in mindC. children's behavior shows their interestsD. there are different attitudes to child behavior73. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. The child will insist on doing things with determination.B. The child will have to make frequent decisions.C. The child will make new discoveries in the future.D. The child will develop a strong sense of achievement.74. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that________.A. child behavior usually reflects a child's needB. what a child does can mean differently when seen from different aspectsC. children tend to do something to show their dependence to their parentsD. children spending time with friends show their selfishness75. What does the writer suggest parents should do with a child's behavior?A. Have a positive attitude towards it.B. Ignore the improper behavior.C. View it at the basic level.D. Watch over it from head to foot.II卷(满分25分)77. Jackson, who_______aeroplanes as a boy, has finally become a pilot.78. His_______prevents him from doing anything that is unfair.79.

He would look up and smile when he saw me and pat the chair next to him for me to sit down. He loved to tell me about his lost golden years when he was an excellent baseball player. I was a good listener. After a couple of hours of talking, I would shake his hands and say goodbye to him. I hopedthat I brought a little sunshine into Walter' s life.I met Walter when I was a high school student participating in a volunteer program with elderly people in a nursing home. It was the first of many such activities, ranging from playing with disabled children to sitting with cancer patients in a hospital. These activities seemed to satisfy my desire to be useful and to feel a meaningful connection to the lives of others.My parents inculcated me with a belief that there was no greater human value than kindness, and encouraged me to make helping others and contributing to society important goals in life. Volunteer work provided a way of attempting to realize the truth of these messages.I learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act of helping someone less fortunate. Involvement in the life of another person has enriched my life as well. Seeing how people deal with the challenges of their lives has taught me valuable lessons in courage and dignity. Many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life. Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave.This is why volunteerism works—each of us has so much need for human connection and so much to give to others.91. What did the author do every time he visited Walter? (Within 10 words)92. What was the first activity the author got involved in as a volunteer? (Within 10 words)93. What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph3? (1 word)94. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (Within 10 words)95.If you are to be a volunteer, what will you do?

That’s right, Rowan Atkinson.Atkinson was born in Newcastle, England and was educated at Newcastle University and Oxford. While at Oxford, he met the writer Richard Curtis, who was studying there too, and they became friends. Curtis was the opposite of Atkinson. He had great love for words while Atkinson enjoyed nonverbal comedy. Together they began writing comedy reviews for the Oxford Playhouse. Shortly afterwards, Atkinson began appearing in smaller theaters in Edinburgh. After a show at the Hampstead Theater in 1978, he was offered a part in the BBC series Not the Nineo’clock News. This series got off to a slow start, but soon became a hug success, with Atkinson winning a BAFTA award for his work. However, being a very sensible man, Atkinson saw the whole acting job as a hobby, along with his growing interest in car racing.Atkinson made his big-screen debut(初次亮相) in 1983’s unofficial James Bond film NeverSay never Again. That same year Atkinson appeared in the BBC series called Black Adder. The main hero named Edmund, tries unsuccessfully to become King of England after accidentially killing his uncle Richard III during a fight. This was followed by three hugely successfulsequels(续集) each set in a different era of England’ history. The Black Adder series was voted the Best Comedy Show of the Year in 1990. He then went on to create Mr. Bean. A walking disaster, Bean was purely physical comedy, the opposite of Edmund. This character was a huge success and became another national treasure. In 1997 Bean came to the big screen. A few year later, Scooby Doo became a box office hit in the US in 2002. This was followed by Johnny English if 2003, a6funny work of James Bond films.In his spare time Atkinson collects classic cars and takes part in races. He also writes for the British magazine CAR. He is a very shy man, and has managed to keep his private life, private.51.How did Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson get to know each other?A. They worked together for BBCB. They met in the Oxford PlayhouseC. They starred in the same seriesD. They went to the same university52.According to the text, the BBC series Not the Nine O’clock News _________.A. brought Atkinson fameB. became successful immediatelyC. made Atkinson give up physical comedyD. showed Atkinson’ s weakness53.What do we know about Atkinson at the beginning of his career?A.

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone as a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”7The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose wish is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S, Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no hope at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.56.The writer is meant to ________.A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience.B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer.C.show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame.D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career.57.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B.A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D.The chances for a writer to become successful are small.58.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A.He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B.He hadn’t seen a change for the better.C.He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D.He found his dream would never come true.59.“... people who die wondering, “what if?” (Line 3, Para 3) refers to “those_________”.A.who think too much of the dark side of life8B.who regret giving up their career halfwayC.who think a lot without making a decisionD.who are full of imagination even upon death.60.“Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to____________.A.the wonderland one often dreams aboutB.the bright future that one is looking forward toC.the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD.a world that exists only in one’s imagination.CDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, andself-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把……归类) as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be9difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.61.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our __________.A. friendly relationshipB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. self-respect62.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to __________.A. lyingB. stealingC.cheatingD. advertising63. The phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” (in Para. 5) means_______.A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged item.64.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unfortunate.C. We’ll have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.65.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. How to Live TruthfullyB. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respectD. Happiness through Honorable ActionsDIn the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand(木架) with a small notepad(记事本) and a hole for a pencil.I"m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can"t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one."I"m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these10years." I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil. Can"t you afford a pen?"My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well; I"ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days. "Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."This story, which happened before I was born, reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible exhibits at every meal.66.Why has the author"s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?A. To leave messagesB. To list her everyday tasksC. To note down maths problemsD. To write down a flash of inspiration67.What is the author"s original opinion about the wooden stand?A.It has great value for the familyB.It needs to be replaced by a better oneC.It brings her back to her lonely childhoodD.It should be passes on to the next generation.68.The author feels embarrassed for____________.A.blaming her mother wronglyB.giving her mother a lot of troubleC.not making good use of time as her mother did11D.not making any breakthrough in her field69.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The mother is successful in her careerB.The family members like travelingC.The author had little time to play when youngD.The marks on the breadboard have disappeared70.In the author’s mind, her mother is ______.A. strange in behaviorB. keen on her researchC. fond of collecting old thingsD. careless about her appearance五、单词填空，根据句意或者所给提示用词语的正确形式填空：10分71.Leave him alone.

He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, “ I hate you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did.One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “ Call my dad.” Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticized. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I need discipline.Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “ I can’t do this any more.”Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said,“Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about persistence(坚持不懈).”Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today.13He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.56. What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?(no more than 15 words)57. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?(no more than 5 words)58. What did Alice’s father do when she felt depressed?(no more than 5 words)59. According to the last paragraph, what do Alice and her father have in common?(no more than 10 words)60.

2020届天津市耀华中学高三英语月考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards (广告牌) to help save the country’s decreasing bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising giant JCDecaux. Six large wooden bee hotels, with drilled holes on the front, first appeared on the back of a north-facing billboard in Jarfalla in September.“Without pollination (授粉) from bees, a thirdof the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered, according to the fast-food chain. A big problem is that they lack places to live. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology, we know Sweden owns 274 species of bees, of which 37 species are bumblebees, and more than a third are decreasing or face the risk of decreasing. Their natural habitats have been damaged by factors including the changes of agricultural activities and fast urbanization (城市化). Fortunately, most bees are able to survive in urban habitats, like the bee hotels.Every McDonald’s authorized restaurant in Sweden will be allowed to order their own bee hotel billboards and design the messages by themselves, as the fast-food chain says. It is their hope that the number of hotels could grow to a greater extent in the near future. Great efforts in addition to that have been made by the company. On World Bee Day, May 20, it introduced “the world’s smallest McDonald’s”. McHive, which could function as an actual beehive (蜂箱). Designed by set designer Nilsson himself, the creation was sold for $10,000 at a charity fundraiser held for Ronald McDonald House Charities.Beehives can be found on the rooftops of some McDonald’s restaurants in Sweden, too. This took place in certain areas but is now followed by an increasing number of participants. More McDonald’s restaurants are making an effort to improve the living conditions of wild bees by removing the grass round their restaurants to grow flowers and plants instead.1. According to the passage, the challenge that wild bees are facing is ________A. the fast process of industry.B. the world's Large amount of trash.C. the rapid development of urbanization.D. the sharp growth of population.2. How does McDonald's help wild bees in Sweden?A. By providing shelters for bees.B. By offering food to bees.C. By advertising rescue activities.D. By putting up more billboards.3. What is the best title for the text?A. Wild bees in dangerB. The loss of bees’ habitatsC McDonald’s bee hotelsD. The protection of wild beesBAfter almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart’ s desire.Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak (连续成功) now, but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain, and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days, they say. Do not spend too much, live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one’ s money.People often think like this — one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow’ s plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?Good questions, aren’ t they? I say travel but don’ t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future. Life is for the living, so live it sensibly.4. Why do elders teach us to save money?A. Because there are more rainy days in life.B. Because no one can win streak.C. Because good days may end.D. Because money can’t buy everything.5. What does the underlined phrase “refrain from” mean in Paragraph 3?A. select fromB. hold backC. rely onD. prefer to6. Which of the following opinions would the author agree?A. To enjoy yourself in the right time.B. To wait to travel until we have enough money.C. To go backpacking in our 50s.D. To live for the future.7. What should we do with the earnings according to the author?A. We should save all for rainy days.B. We should fulfill our dreams.C. We should entertain ourselves.D. We should live the present wisely.CWhena person in the United States gets the COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗), the person receives a small piece of paper called a “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card”.It is a piece of paper with the logo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, and the name and date of the vaccine. Because it is so simple, it could be easy to fake.Many people in theU.S.are still unsure about getting the vaccine. As universities, workplaces and other places are requiring proof of vaccination, some people are now buying fake vaccination cards without getting a shot.The Associated Press reports that students and teachers at universities around theU.S.are worried about fake cards. Sellers are using social media apps like Instagram to advertise fake vaccination cards. The prices range from $25 to $200. The AP notes that many college students seem interested in buying the cards. On the site Reddit, one person wrote, “I need one, too, for college. I refuse to be a guinea pig.”It is reported that more than 700 universities and colleges require proof of vaccination. Most schools simplyask their students to take a photo of their card and send it to a school website. Benjamin Mason Meier is a professor at theUniversityofNorth CarolinaatChapel Hill, UNC. He studies international health policy. He said, unlike some countries, theU.S.is not using a digital system to record vaccine status. He said theU.S.is depending on “aflimsypaper card”, and students have told him they knew of others who had used fake vaccination cards. Rebecca Williams also works at UNC. She is a researcher at the school’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. She said she was not surprised that people were worried about fake vaccination cards. “This is why I think the development of a reliable national digital vaccine passport app is very important,” she said.There is a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards. If someone uses the CDC logo without permission, they can be lined and punished by up to five years in prison. The U.S. Department of Justice recently charged a person inCaliforniawith making fake vaccination cards.College students who already have the vaccine are criticizing those who would rather spend money to buy a fake than get a free shot. Maliha Reza is an electrical engineering student atPennsylvaniaStateUniversity, She called those students “dumb”. “I’m angry about that,” she said. “Like, there is more anger than I could describe now.”8. Why do some college students buy fake vaccination cards?A. They are easy to get.B. Many Americans are still uncertain about getting the vaccine.C. Students have an interest in the fake vaccination cards.D. To get a vaccine shot is expensive.9. Which of the following measures can NOT be used to stop the fake cards?A. Having a law that should prevent people from making false vaccination cards.B. Developing a reliable national digital vaccine passport app.C. Using a digital system to record vaccine status.D. Having all the students take a photo of their vaccination card and send it to the school website.10. What does the underlined word “flimsy” probably mean?A. Weak.B. Effective.C. Detailed.D. Professional,11. What might be the writing purpose for the news report?A. To promote a digital system to record the vaccination shots.B. To explain why theU.S.should prevent making the fake vaccination cards.C. The stress the influence of the COVID-19 vaccination.D. To reduce theU.S.university leaders’ worry about fake vaccination cards.DHave you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe？Maybe you did a dangerous trick on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet and thought you couldn’t get hurt. The psychology(心理) of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect, named after Sam Peltzman, professor of economics at the University of Chicago. Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously.Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seat belts(安全带) . Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers’ behavior. Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better, they feel they can make better judgments when they drive. They are better protected in accidents,so they act more dangerously. This makes driving morehazardousto other drivers.The Peltzman Effect isn’t just limited to driving. In 1972, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles. The safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally taking the medicine, especially painkillers such as aspirin. Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea, but there was an unexpected side effect. Because the safety caps are so hardto take off, some people leave them off altogether．Worse, some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap. A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3,500 children have been harmedby aspirin because of the safety caps.The Peltzman Effect describes how we’re likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest. What’s more, the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what we expect.12. What is the Peltzman Effect？A. People behave less safely when they feel safe．B. People feel safest when they are under protection．C. Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe．D. People who act dangerously are likely to be together．13. What does the underlined word“hazardous”in Paragraph 2 mean？A. Interesting．B. Expensive．C. Dangerous．D. Important．14.

Therefore, I didn’t know what the stage 16 was.Our school has a weekly “Parents View”17 in the assembly. Around four years ago, 18 I received a call from the Principal of our school telling me to come to the “Parent View”which was out of my expectation. He asked me to 19 to the group.After the call my whole body became feverish and I felt really 20 . The whole night, I could not sleep. Many 21 thoughts were coming. One of them was to call the Principal, with 22 , and tell him that I could not go. I gathered some 23 . Then I thought, if I missed this opportunity, surely, the school would never invite me again to any of their programs. 24 I decided to go.When my turn came and I started speaking, my legs started shaking and my heartbeat increased. After the speech, I met with the Principal and 25 what had happened to me. He told me that this happened to everyone. These symptoms were very 26 .

I live not far from the Kairaku Park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees. I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.I see the same trees and swans every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new-born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted by a high sound going on for some time. So, I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me, the swan baby can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor?”After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and push the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but Nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important---because wegrow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality---at one with Nature.36. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?A. Her favorite season is spring.B. She enjoys doing outdoor sports.C. Her backyard is filled with plum trees.D. She is satisfied with her living environment.37. Why was that day special for the author?A. She took a few photos of the sunset.B. She made a little swan’s mother angry.C. She met some swans and helped one of them.D. She met an old man and made friends with him.38. What kind of person is probably the old man?A. Well-known.B. Warm-hearted.C. Selfish.D. Outgoing.39. What makes us more physically active according to the author?A. Nature.B. kindness.C. The garden.D. The things around.40. It can be inferred from the text that the author ________.A. is really a nature loverB. is short of some life skillC. asks people to help the weakD. calls on more people to protect the environmentBI developed postpartum depression (PPD) (产后抑郁症) after giving birth to my first son. Actually, I started feeling bad before I even had my son. It started with severe anxiety about doctors’ appointments.The night I arrived home after giving birth, I had my first panic attack. I doubted I was having a slight heart attack. The next day, a public health nurse visited our home to see if everything was fine with me — whether I had a heart attack or suffered anything else or I was just all alright. She reassured me that I didn’t have a heart problem, a nd informed me that it was likely a panic attack. The nurse visit was part of a program that provided support for new moms. Sadly, it didn’t include any information on PPD.By my six-week postpartum checkup, I knew something was wrong. I was having difficulty falling asleep and I felt like I was slowly going crazy. Panic attacks were more frequent. I talked with my obstetrician (产科医师), but unfortunately, she was not trained to recognize or cure PPD. Now I didn’t know whom to turn to for help.I told my situation to my mom and my husband but they didn’t understand what I was really experiencing. They figured that being a new parent was tough for anyone, so feeling a little down after giving birth —“baby blues”— was just normal and not necessarily a sign of depression. But my cousin, also a new mom, knew me well, and she could see that something was wrong.With my cousin’s encouragement, I went to see my family doctor and I was finally diagnosed (被诊断为) with PPD. I started taking medication, and began to feel better. Eventually, I rehabilitated, feeling like my old self again.It is common for new moms to get the “baby blues” mixed up with PPD. The early symptoms are similar, so it can delay a diagnosis because you think the feelings will go away. I do think more attention should be drawn to the latter. After all, a new research finds that about 1 in 7 new mothers will be seriously troubled by PPD.41. Why did the nurse visit the author?A. To care for her baby.B. To cure her of her heart disease.C. To help check her condition.D. To offer her information on PPD.42. After talking with her obstetrician, what did the author realize?A. She was really suffering from PPD.B. Her obstetrician cou ldn’t really help her.C. She should have received training in PPD.D. Her obstetrician didn’t really care about her.43. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. The author’s cousin’s suggestion to her.B. The author’s great concern about her condition.C. The great difference between PPD and baby blues.D. The author’s family members’ different reaction to her condition.44. What does the underlined word “rehabilitated” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. recovered.B. succeeded.C. resigned.D. returned.45. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A. To tell about her suffering “baby blues”.B. To express her ideas about giving birth.C. To call for attention to postpartum depression.D. To show the importance of family to new moms.CChichen Itza is an ancient site sitting in Yucatan State, Mexico, in Central America. This site has been listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Chichen Itza was an extremely important religious site for 1,000 years for the ancient Maya people. The Maya civilization began before 2000 BC and lasted until 1697 when Spain took away their last remaining city. The Maya people lived in southeastern Mexico, all of Guatemala and Belize, and the western parts of Honduras and El Salvador.From around 600 to 1050 AD, in Chichen Itza, people were able to buy things that were difficult to find. This was thanks to its port, Isla Cerritos, which allowed the city to trade through water. In the 10th century, it became the capital of the area from central Yucatan to the north coast.The ancient city of Chichen Itza was well planned in design. The pyramids and temples were built in groups, with paved walkways in between. People have found over 80 of these walkways all over the site. The main building groups are the Great North Platform, the Old Chichen, plus the Ossario and Central Groups.At the center of the site is a castle in a pyramid shape. In Spanish, it’s called El Castilo, which means the castle. But its real name is the Temple of Kukulkan and it actually sits on top of a much older temple. On the 20th of March and the 22nd of September, the sun’s rays create a strange shadow across the Temple of Kukulkan. It looks just like a snake slithering (滑动) down the pyramid staircase. And in fact, the temple is named after the Maya feathered snake god, Kukulkan.46. What can we learn about the Maya civilization from the text?A. Its development totally depended on Chichen Itza.B. Its ancient site was mainly in eastern Mexico.C. It lasted for 1,000 years.D. It was put to an end by Spain.47. What do we know about Chichen Itza from the year 600 to 1050 AD?A. It was a trade center.B. It was partly destroyed.C. It took control of Yucatan State.D. It attracted many foreigners.48. The castle at the center of Chichen Itza ______.A. is a palace built by the SpanishB. sits under an older templeC. is a temple to honor God KukulkanD. draw people’s attention for its walkways49. In which section of a magazine can we read this text?A. Economy.B. Science.C. Culture.D. Art.50. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To encourage us to visit Chichen Itza.B. To talk about some pyramids in Mexico.C. To let us learn about the ancient Maya people.D. To introduce some basic facts about Chichen Itza.DA perfectly-preserved wreck (沉船) that has lain unnoticed in the icy Baltic Sea for over 500 years has finally been confirmed. The European ship was first observed in 2009, when a sonar (声纳) exploration by the Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA) indicated a large object in the area. However, it was not until early 2019 that researchers from Soton and MMT found evidence of the sunken ship using underwater robotic cameras.When the team observed the pictures of the 60-foot-long shipwreck, they were surprised to discover it was 99 percent complete. The scientists considered that the wreck’s good condition is due to its place in the Baltic Seabed, where the oxygen levels are low. Oxygen is key to most ocean l ife’s survival. Therefore, such an environment where the shipwreck stays reduces orcompletely removes the creatures that feed on rotting wood.So although this ship is contemporary to the times of Christopher Columbus, it shows a remarkable level of preservation after 500 years at the bottom of the sea. Dr. Pacheco-Ruiz, who led the MMT effort, said, “It’s almost like it sank yesterday. It’s a truly astonishing sight.”The scientists are unsure what let the ship sink. However, the ship’s guns, which are in their “ready to fire” positions, indicate it may have been the victim of a naval battle. Since the ship dates back to the early 16th century, historians predict it may have sunk during Sweden’s three-year independence war with its Danish rulers between 1521 and 1523. Alternatively, it could also have been involved in the border dispute between Russia and Sweden from 1554 to 1557.The ship is by far the best-preserved shipwreck ever found from the Age of Exploration, when Europeans explored the world by sea.What’s more exciting is that the ship is similar to the Pinta and La Nina, which Comlubus famously sailed toward North America. The scientists, who continue to observe the shipwreck, hope the boat’s design will expose some of the technologies availab le to the Italian explorer during his 1492 voyage of discovery.51. What scientific achievement did Soton’s and MMT’s researchers make?A. Discovering a wreck using sonar.B. Getting the wreck out or icy water.C. Identifying the object found by SMA.D. Making the ancient wreck well preserved.52. What can we learn about the place of the sunken ship?A. It is generally unfit for creatures to live in.B. It is tough for scientists to do research.C. It contains too many harmful gases.D. It is filled with rotting wood.53. Dr. Pacheco-Ruiz’s words reflected ________.A. his curiosity about the time when the ship sankB. his amazement at the ship’s previous grandnessC. his surprise at the wreck’s well-preserved conditionD. his shock at the sinking of the great European ship54. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The damage to the ship.B. The causes of the ship’s sinking.C. The construction of the ship.D. The possible function of the ship.55. What will the scientists’ following research probably focus on?A. Recovering the ancient ships, the Pinta and La Nina.B. Finding every aspect of life in the Age of Exploration.C. Exploring the role the ship played in Columbus’ exploration.D. Learning about Columbus’ voyage according to the ship’s des ign.II 卷（满分15分）IV. 词语填空根据句意用所给单词或短语的正确形式填空(共15小题;每题1分;共15分)56.

A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you only if you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look forcertain qualities of characteristic, especially understanding, honesty and reliability（可靠）.Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to give his opinion. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults（过错）in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need help, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with.A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest and understanding, I know I've found a true friend!（1）Which of the following qualities does the writer think is the most important in choosing a friend?A.Understanding.B.Honesty.C.Reliability.D.A sense of humour.（2）If you have fair-weather friends, ________.A.they will give you all that they have when you need helpB.you can be sure that you get real friendsC.you will become richD.you will be refused when you get into trouble（3）Good friends shouldn't ________.A.understand each other's feelingsB.always point out each other's mistakesC.share the experience and learn from each otherD.have fun and make each other happy（4）This passage mainly discusses ________.A.how to get along with friendsB.where to choose friendsC.the qualities of a friendD.the importance of having a friend On the third Sunday in June, Americans take time to recognize and thank a special person in the family﹣fathers!Father's Day celebrates the importance of fathers, young and old, and the men thought of as father figures． "Like father, like son"is probably the most common father expression．It means a boy is very much like his father, and sons often do what their fathers did before them．This can be a good thing or a bad thing．Harry Chapin's song, "Cat's in the Cradle", was popular in the 1970s．He sings about a father who did not spend time with his son．His son grew up to be a man who did not have time for his aging father．Like father, like son． The words ________come from William Wordsworth's poem"My Heart Leaps Up"．In everyday speech, one could say, "In his case, the child was father of the man; he loved nature as a child and now works as a botanist（植物学家）．"Let's say you want to tell children a story about something that happened long before they were born．You could say it happened when they"were just a twinkle in their father's eyes"．This expression has a humorous and dreamy feel．Here, the word"twinkle"suggests the interest your father had in your mother．The expression"daddy's little girl"is understood to mean that, in a father's eyes, his daughter can do no wrong． There is usually not a dry eye at any wedding during the traditional father﹣and﹣daughter dance, especially if they are dancing to a song like Michael Buble's"Daddy's Little Girl"．（1）．What does the expression"the child is father of the man"mean？________A.A boy will become a father sooner or later．B.Fathers can learn from their children in some ways．C.A child can be successful if he learns from his father．D.The personality in adulthood is consistent with that in childhood．．（2）．How does the author mainly support his ideas in the text？________A.By comparing．B.By listing reasons．C.By explaining and giving examples．D.By raising and answering questions．．（3）．How does a father feel when hearing"Daddy's Little Girl"at his daughter's wedding？________A.Moved．B.Excited．C.Satisfied．D.Proud．Just reading Facebook posts——without posting messages or responding to comments——makes users feel bad about themselves, some studies have discovered. A 2015 study at the University of Michigan, for example, found that students who simply read Facebook posts for 10 minutes were in a worse mood by the end of the day than those who posted messages or commented on friends' posts.Researchers think that users who only read posts may be always comparing their own lives to others' posts and feel they're coming up short. Or users may simply be missing out on face-to-face human communication.This is necessary and important for a healthier state of mind. "In general, when people spend a lot of time passively（被动地）receiving information——reading, but not interacting（交流）with people——they report feeling worseafterward, "said an unusual Facebook blog post.The research appears to be bad news for Facebook, but Facebook itself is getting the negative news known to the public. In fact, the findings support the company's push to get users to be more active on the site, the blog noted. Research has also found that “interacting with p eople—especially sharing message, posts and comments with close friends and thinking of past interactions — is connected with improvements in well-being".One commenter to the Facebook blog post noted that it's "no surprise that your conclusions-encouraging 'active' Facebook use—are connected with Facebook's business interests. It gives Facebook chances to persuade us into sharing, commenting, and posting more than ever—for our own good!"The company has faced a lot of negative news about Facebook. Former Facebook Vice President Chamath Palihapitiya told Stanford University graduate business students that social media are destroying society. Palihapitiya said he felt really bad for the role he played in making Facebook so outstanding."We kind of knew something bad could happen."（1）What did the 2015 study mainly show?A.Not all users considered Facebook useful.ing Facebook in the right way could benefit us.C.Not all people loved interacting with others on Facebook.D.Passively using Facebook negatively affected users' moods.（2）What does the underlined word "This"in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Avoiding comparing ourselves with others.B.Reading the posts on Facebook positively.C.Interacting with others face to face.D.Sharing experiences on Facebook.（3）Why did Facebook make the findings known to the public?A.To encourage people to use Facebook more.B.To show Facebook's concern about its users.C.To apologize to its users for the bad influence.D.To prove the importance of human interaction.（4）From what Chamath Palihapitiya said, we learn that ________ .A.Facebook has some disadvantagesB.Facebook is facing serious challengesC.Facebook disappoints the public deeplyD.Facebook is improving some students' life Many youths want to lean how to drive cars． This year one sixth of undergraduates in Beijing have registered at driving school． The students, mostly from majors such as business management or imitational trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so．Training costs have dropped to 4, 500 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing． The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment （投资） in their future． Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job． But a driver s permit has become another factor （因素）．"In the job market, owning a driver's permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student's competitiveness for a good position, " says Li Hua, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and law．Cars will become a necessary part of many people's lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people's time． "Having a full﹣time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive． We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of oppurtunity to learn, " says another undergraduate at the university．Wu Dong, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn． In this driving school, middle﹣aged people, young women and college students are the main customers．From March 1, 2018, to get a driver's permit, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours' practice before the final road test．（1）Why do the undergraduates learn to drive？________A. They are the students from special subject or course．B. They like to drive cars very much．C. They want y become full time drivers after graduation．D. They need this skill to find a good job in the future．．（2）What is Wu Dong's opinion of students learning to drive？________A. It would make the life more interesting．B. Youths would have an advantage in learning to drive．C. It is a waste of money and time to learn to drive．D. It would be better to learn it at college than at work．．（3）To get the permit， the student________．A. requires some time to practice before the final road testB. must pay more money before the final road testC. must practice more to learn to drive when having a jobD. requires to learn some more other subjects to drive．四、阅读表达When my friends went to college in great delight，I restarted my senior high school life．My spirit sank．Surrounded by strange classmates，I felt like I was in a maze and was sorry about myself．There were some complex feelings in my minds．I was frightened，nervous and lonely．To make matters worse，I recalled my failure again and again，which put more pressure on me than I could bear．As a result，I was always feeling down during class time．My teacher found me spiritless．One day he asked me to come to his office and told me about his attitude towards life：we might suffer from mistakes，but it's important to learn lessons from them．All the pains and the embarrassing things we experience are part of the process．So keep up your spirit!At last，he added，"If you are optimistic，things you want may happen to you!"Warmth rushed through my soul．I suddenly found the sun shining again when I stepped out of his office．With the teacher's help，I eventually got over my depression．From then on，I no longer bowed my head and began smiling to my classmates．I would put up my hand confidently in class and play with my new friends in my spare time．Meanwhile，I was gradually ________ by my classmates．Now faced with fierce competition，we all study hard because we know that every second counts．Moreover，there is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect between us．I love my class：I love my classmates!To be frank，I still have a thirst for my dream university，but I'm not afraid of failure because I can profit byit．With parents and teachers'encouragement，I'm quite certain of my success and I'm sure I can fly high．34．Why was the writer in low spirits at the beginning？（No more than 10 words）________35．What did the teacher expect the writer to do？（No more than 10 words）________36．What is the main idea of Paragraph 5？（No more than 15 words）________37．The underlined word"embraced"in paragraph 5 means？（No more than 5 words）________38．What will you do if you are faced with failure？（No more than 20 words）________．五、提纲类作文假如你是李华，某英语报社正在举办一个以“How to keep fit”为主题的征文活动，你平时喜欢慢跑（jogging），决定就此写一篇文章投稿。

In fact, my father, who 36 from Indian Government service, had never traveled by air before, so I just took this 37 to make his experience wonderful. In spite of being asked to 38 tickets by train, I got them tickets on Jet Airways.The moment I handed over the tickets to him, the 39 was very obvious on his face. Just like a schoolboy, he was 40 himself busily on that day. We all went to the airport together, asking for a window seat and waiting 41 for the security check-in to happen. He was completely 42 himself and I, too, was overcome with 43 watching him experience all these things. 44 my parents were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with 45 in his eyes and thanked me, saying the trip meant a great deal to him.As a child, did we think about the 46 our parents had to make to satisfy many of our wishes? Did we 47 say thanks for all that they have done for us? Many times, when my parents asked me some questions, I would actually answer back without 48 . When my daughter asks me something, I have been very 49 in answering. Now I realize how they must have felt at those moments. Let us realize that old age is a second 50 and just as we take care of our children, the same 51 and same care need to be given to our parents and elders.52 my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say I’m sorry fo r making him53 so long for this small dream.

As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they d on’t often make school honor rolls (光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts (零件) from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need bui lders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.56. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone.B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction.D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.57. What can we learn about the author’s children?A. His daughter does better in school.B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework.D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.58. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that ________.A. His son had the ability to fix itB. it would save him much timeC. it wouldn’t cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help59. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are ________.A. tidy and hardworkingB. cheerful and smartC. lazy but brightD. relaxed but rude60. What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.BE veryone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch (手法, 风格) when making these products. For example, many handicrafts (手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handcraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.61. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to ________.A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of livingD. accept technology and advance steadily62. The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to ________.A. toolsB. messagesC. barriersD. skills63. The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by ________.A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classification64. Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine-made products ________.A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are of high valueD. are quite welcome65. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?A. It can destroy old traditions.B. It can lead to social progress.C. It can be used to correct mistakes.D. It can be used to preserve old products.66. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.B. People review the past with great regret.C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.CSoaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study buil ds on past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect”.It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined Lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience (良知) by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands. A fewyears ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadn’t cleaned.This finding fascinated W. S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any ki nd of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.He decided to test hand washing’s effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that we’ve lose the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating (夸大) the positive aspects of their choice.He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students one CD as a gift. Some students then use liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed (嗅) it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says Lee.Later, the students again had to rank all the music. People who didn’t wash their hands had the normal response --- they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as even more attractive than before. But this wasn’t true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same. “They feel no need at all to justify the choice,” says Lee.But the implications of it jus t aren’t clear. Schwarz says it’s too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder. But perhaps if they don’t go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.67. The Macbeth effect refers to the fact that ________.A. Shakespeare did scientific research before writing MacbethB. soaping up one’s hand may help wash away the inne r confusionC. people feel less guilty by removing invisible germs from their handsD. people generally feel less ashamed after washing their hands68. According to Lee, after people make the choice ________.A. they will overstate the goodness of their chosen choiceB. they will feel regretful for not choosing anotherC. they will feel free due to the feeling of losing the other choiceD. they will not think of their chosen choice to calm their inner conflict69. According to Lee, the hand washers consider the judgment of choice ________.A. more scientificB. unnecessaryC. a little convincingD. absolutely useless70. What does Schwarz need to research more?A. Whether people need to justify their choice.B. Whether people feel more sorrow after washing hands.C. Whether washing hands help over a long period of time.D. Whether washing hands is helpful to make a choice.71. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Is Washing Hands Necessary to Defeat TensionB. Washing Hands Washes Our MindC. Washing Hands Helps Make a Better ChoiceD. Washing Hands Reduces the Stress of DecisionII 卷（满分31分）V. 词语填空根据句意用所给单词或短语的正确形式填空(共16小题;每题1分;共16分)72.

2020-2021学年天津市耀华中学高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AJuanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career(职业). He has always wanted to travel. “I guess I am a really restless spirit.I like traveling, so when the chance came, I jumped at it,” he says.The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships（游船）. At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel. He applied and, after two interviews, a medical check and police clearance, the job was his.Estrella is responsible(负责的)for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly. “I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place anda different culture. It’s exciting when you go to the next country and you don’t understand the language,” he says.Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.But there is adownside. “You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others,” he says. “You don’t really think about home.You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you’ll be doing.”Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day-and to give up drinking too much alcohol.” In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home.1.Which of the following is true?A.He has been a housekeeping manager for 18 months.B.He doesn’t drink wine now.C.He cannot speak a foreign language.D.He used to be a housekeeping manager.2.The underlined word“downside”in paragraph 5 probably means ________ .A.disappointmentB.disadvantageC.failureD.loss3.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that life on the ship is ________.A.not a tiring journey at allB.just an interesting voyageC.far from a voyage for pleasureD.more than a pleasant travel by seaBFor our official holidays, like the National Holiday, many people'd like to go on a visit to some places of interest. Yesterday our class had a heated discussion about whether we should travel during holidays.One man's meat is another man's poison.Some students are for it. They think visitors can enjoy a good variety of scenery. Facing glorious(壮丽的) touristattractions, travelers may well broaden their eyes. At the same time, they can keep fit by walking on foot, and taste different delicious food that they can't get in their own hometowns. What's more, travelling can make a contribution to our economy development, mainly to the local economy development. Most travelers need to buy tickets to go to their destinations, thus traffic department will earn money. Travelers also need to sleep and eat, thus local hotels and restaurants also share benefits. Paying admission(门票费) benefits local governments. As for native farmers, they can benefit from selling local specialities to many travelers. In this case, money circulation(货币流通) is speeded up.On the other hand, other students are against it. They believe it's a waste of money. Some famous places of interest are too crowded, while those smaller ones are not worth visiting. Travelling may cause traffic jams here and there. What's worse, due to travelling here and there, there exist some accidents on the road. Besides, it's known that travelling can also pollute the local environment. In order to reduce air and waste pollution, people should have a rest to the full, reading books or watching TV at home. Recently, many have been afraid of being infected with COVID-19 in particular.As far as I am concerned, travelling is a good choice to spend holidays. And the government should take some measures to solve the existing problems. More policemen should be on duty to deal with accidents in time. Can we make a small change to the period when people don't have to go to work in some provinces? Let's take the example of the National Holiday, if some provinces of our country spend this holiday mainly in late September, with the National Day coming to an end, rather than in earlyOctober, most famous places of interest will not become crowded. At the same time, visitors must obey traffic rules and shouldn't throw rubbish freely here and there. Last but not least, never should we travel when there is a pandemic(大流行病，瘟疫). It's our duty to prevent its spread.4. What does the underlined sentence “One man's meat is another man's poison” in this passage mean?A. Some persons like meat, while others don't.B. Different persons taste meals differently.C. A man mistakes meat for poison.D. Different persons have different opinions on one thing.5. How do travelers contribute to our economy development?A. They buy all kinds of tickets.B. They walk, sleep, eat and meet native farmers.C. They speed up money circulation by spending money on transport, accommodations(膳宿), specialities and admission.D. They only enjoy visiting many glorious tourist attractions.6. Which sentence of the following is not true?A. There's a need for more policemen.B Some provinces can change the date of an official holiday completely.C. Visitors must obey traffic rules and shouldn't throw rubbish freely.D. People should never travel when there is a pandemic.7. What the author's attitude to travel during holidays?A. He doesn't show his opinion.B. He doesn't agree at all.C. He supports unconditionally.D. He supports and makes some suggestions.CChimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “movecloser,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success.“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”8. Chimps slap the objects to____________.A. tell others to stop what they are doingB. ask others chimps to join themC. gather other chimps to move closerD. encourage interactions to start9. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips?A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals.B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa.C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication.D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age.10. How is the last paragraph developed?A. By analyzing causes.B. By examining differences.C By making comparisons. D. By following time order.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and ChimpsC. Getting the Chimps Trained for LanguageD. Translating the Sign Language of ChimpsDPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可) it,psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes againstthe traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.12. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People's acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.13. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.14. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.15. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much moremotivated.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021年天津市耀华中学高三英语月考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAmid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two - week supply of water and food.PotatoesShelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark placeYukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.Tea※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" dateDried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.Peanuts● Shelf life：1 to 2 monthsPeanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.Canned fruits and vegetables● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past "sell - by” dateCanningis an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.1. Which can go bad faster if stored with onions?A. Potatoes.B. Tea.C. Peanuts.D. Canned fruits and vegetables.2. What is special about tea?A. The flavor of tea can always remain the same.B. Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar.C.

Shapes of cans.B. Categories of foods.C. Decline of the temperature.D. Exposure to high temperature.BLast year, 138,000San Franciscoresidents used Airbnb, a popular app designed to connect home renters and travelers. It’s a striking number for a city with a population of about 850,000, and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections, asSan Franciscovoters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.The company fiercely opposed the measure, Proposition F, with a nearly $10 million advertising campaign. It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app. The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities, and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels. It’s a textbook example of the “sharing economy”, but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences inSan Francisco. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year, a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company’s image: middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet. Some users have taken advantage of the service, using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals. Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional, better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.“The fact is, widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market and harming our neighborhoods,” said ShareBetter SF, a group that supported Proposition F. Hotel unions have protested the company’s practices inSan Franciscoand other cities, saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Franciscois in the middle of a long-term, deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode. Actually, explode is a generous term. The average monthly rent for an apartment is around $4, 000. Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay,San Franciscosimply doesn’t have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young, high-salaried tech employees flocking toSilicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported, someSan Franciscoresidents supported the measure simply because itseemed like a way to check a big corporation. Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper, and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the city’s existing problems.4. The intention of Proposition F is to ________.A. place time limits in local election.B. set limits on short-term rental.C. strike down a controversial rule.D. urge users to vote against Airbnb.5. What is the negative consequence of Airbnb onSan Francisco?A. It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B. Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C. It makes the house market more competitive.D. It indirectly leads to high house rental price.6. The housing crisis inSan Franciscoresults from ________.A. explosion of the living costB. its geographic characteristicsC. generosity of local enterprisesD. inflow of migrant population7. Theauthor’s attitude toward Proposition F is ________.A. objectiveB. supportiveC. negativeD. indifferentCThe British poet Matthew Byrne moved to Beijing in 2013 and felt that the capital city's poetry scene was lacking．His obsession（痴迷）for starting poetryevents led to the foundation of the Spittoon Collective in May 2015．“At that time，the literary activity in Beijing was The Bookworm based in Sanlitun，”Byrne says．While some of Beijing's literary institutions would go on to close in the fall of 2019，Spittoon would continue to grow as a community for poets and writers，as well as musicians and others in the creative scene．Byrne describes the Spittoon Collective as a platform for people to share ideas，from literary works to different forms of art，with projects developing from the creative energy within the community．Spittoon originally started as a poetry night at the Mado Bar in Dongcheng District 's Baochao Hutong．Byrne says，“In Beijing，you have these wonderful hutongs，ancient structures where you can walk down and visit cool bars，so I thought it would be good to have a poetry event as it seemed like poetry belonged naturally to this area．”He adds，“The objective now is to discover Chinese voices and broadcast them to the rest of the world．Wecreate a kindof theme park-like atmosphere where every Thursday is occupied by a different literary style or art form．”The readings would mainly be in English，but with an international community，a new section called“Poetry-in-Translation”was started，which featured works in Chinese，French，Arabic，Russian，Spanish and other languages．Joining organized activities like Spittoon can be a major help for those caught up in a boring life．And it's especially important for the people who have moved to China as they need to buildnew relationships while living in a different country．8. What can we know about the Spittoon Collective?A. It was closed in 2019．B. It was set up in 2013 in Beijing．C. It's popular with literature lovers．D. It's a community just for foreigners．9. Why did Byrne start the Spittoon Collective in Baochao Hutong?A. To attract students' love of poetry．B. To expandChina's literature globally．C. To makeBeijing's hutongs famous．D. To combine poetry with the hutong．10. What effect would the Spittoon Collective have on Chinese culture?A. Beneficial．B. Negative．C. Challenging．D. Controversial．11. What is the author's attitude to the Spittoon Collective?A. Unclear．B. Intolerant．C. Doubtful．D. Favorable．DI come to theUnited Statesten year ago. I would always say that I was trying to study, but there were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start.Now I realized that those were only excuses. What stopped me was that I was afraid to start studying again. I always believed I would learn by myself.One day, however, my son told me that he was sad because his friends would come over and I didn’t understand them because I didn’t speak English. He was also sad because I could never help him with his homework. That same day, I told myself, “Rocio, you have to start believing in yourself and you will see you canmake it.”The next day, I went downtown to look for a big banner (横幅) in front of the school which said that they offered classes for adults. I came in to see if I could join, but the classes were closed already. That night I took the kids to the movies, and on the way back, I told them we would take a new route. I ended up getting lost. That’s the way I foundChaffeyCollege. The following Monday, I went to ask for information. They told me that summer school was starting that week.That’s how I started studying English last summer. It is difficult, but I have had great rewards. My daughter had to write a story for school. It was about the female they most admired and why .

2020-2021学年天津市耀华中学高三英语一模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you are sending a text message watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使.....萎缩)the brain? research suggests.A study found that men and womenwho frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex researchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devicessimultaneouslycould be changing the structure of our brains."Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, depression , anxiety and lower grades at school.The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environments and experience.Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of London―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99，and found 20%had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.1. The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2 means "________，"A. on one's ownB. at no timeC. at the same timeD. by accident2. All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT________ .A. saving timeB. a shortened attention spanC. lower grades at schoolD. depression and anxiety3. Which ofthe following can be the best title of this passage?A. Media multitasking is becoming more popularB. Multitasking shrinks the brainC. Multitasking may shorten attention spanD. People are worried about their memories.BWhen you think of the icy Arctic Ocean, do you picture cold blue waters, on which float (漂浮) icebergs home to animals and fish not seen elsewhere on the planet? Think again, or rather add 300 billion pieces of plastic (塑料) to your picture. That's the amount of plastic that scientists believe is floating around the Arctic Ocean. Most of the plastic is in the area to the east of Greenland and north of Scandinavia.Where did it come from? After all, the lands near the Arctic are not really full of people. It turns out that ocean currents are carrying plastic thrown into the ocean all the way to the Arctic. An ocean current is an unending movement of sea water from one point to another. It is caused by several things including heat from the Sun, wind and movement of the Earth.Many of these plastic pieces seem to have travelled for years before reaching the Arctic. This was worked out by scientists studying the plastic problem after they observed the condition of the pieces. While much plastic floats on top of the water, a lot also may be on the sea floor.Plastic has been widely used for 60 years on Earth and our careless throwing of plastic things is slowly turning the once perfectly clean Arctic into a dangerous place. Unlike food waste and plant waste, plastic doesn't break down so easily. In fact the United States Environment Protection Organization reports that “every bit of plastic ever made still exists”.What's the effect? Seabirds, sea turtles and other ocean creatures could get hurt and die when they accidentallyswallowplastic. Plastic waste affects fishing, affecting people who earn money through fishing. Plastics can let out dangerous poisons (毒物) into the water. These may be swallowed by fish, and when these fish are caught and eaten by people or bigger animals, they could get poisoned too!4. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Arctic Ocean is heavily polluted.B. The plastic is mostlyin the area in the east of Greenland.C. An ocean current is just caused by the movement of the earth.D. Much more plastic floats on top of the water.5. Which of the following doesn't contribute to the plastic ocean?A. Humans throw away plastic things at will.B. Ocean currents carry plastic things everywhere.C. Plastic can let out harmful things into the water.D. Plastic is hard to break down.6. What does the underlined word “swallow” in the last Paragraph mean?A. Break down.B. Take in.C. Accept.D. Touch.7. What's the best title of the text?A. Are Men to Blame for Plastic Ocean?B. Arctic Ocean and Its Future!C. Is Plastic Harmful?D. Arctic Ocean or Plastic Ocean?CIn order to develop the pandemic-stricken economy, China recovered the street vendors（商贩）in a new nation-wide method known as “street stall economy'', allowing residents to set up open-air shops on the sidewalks or other available public spaces.Street vendors were once an important part ofChina's economy and urban landscape. However, sinceChina's economy took off in the last decade, street vendors have gradually disappeared from the streets and many of them opened shops of their own.Fast forward to today, street vendors have come into our sight again after cities such asChengduand Yantai succeeded in creating hundreds of thousands of jobs by giving street stalls permission to operate.China's tech industry was quick to jump on the street vendor trend, with tech giants including Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan and flocking todish outcheap loans, offer support and payment solutions to millions of owners of newly established small businesses.Ant Financial, Alibaba's fintech arm, promised its mobile wallet app Alipay will give interest-free loans to 30 million vendors, and 70 billion RMB of interest-free credit line to consumers to make purchases everywhere, including street vendors. provided 50 billion RMB worth of quality goods for street vendors, and provided each one of themwith a maximum 100,000 RMB interest-free loan to stock up.Tencent's WeChat announced to offer payment solutions, marketing supports and even training for up to 50 million street vendors, with the end goal of digitally transforming them to increase their income.Guangzhoucity partnered with WeChat this month to hold a live streaming shopping festival to improve sales of local produce.

How’s your toothbrush looking these days? Even if you can’t see it with a naked eye, experts say it may be saturated(使饱和)with millions of toilet germs!Dr. Charles Oerba, a germ expert, is amicrobiology professor at the University of Arizona. He says there are approximately 3 million bacteria per square inch in most toilet bowls, and every time you flush it without closingthe lid, those millions of bacteria droplets spray into the air as far as twenty feet away and dirty everything in their path. And a common victim is your poor toothbrush, usually, left out on the bathroom sink, right?So, what do we do? Dr. Gerba says it’s easy. Close the toilet lid before you flush—that’ll greatly cut downthe germs, which will otherwise float in the air. And wash your toothbrush every few days in mouthwash or peroxide to get rid of any germs hiding in it. You can even put it through the dishwasher to sanitize(消毒)it. And always store your toothbrush in a closed cabinet.Here’s one more tip from Dr. Gerba, who says our kitchen sink is probably dirtier than our toilet. “If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and go to the bathroom in your sink.” He says that’s because the kitchen sink is a great place where E. coli(大肠杆菌)to live and grow since it’s wet and damp. Bacteria feed on the food that people put down the drain or—that’s left on dishes in the sink. To reset your sink’s bacteria count back to zero, you’d better regularly wash it with hot water and sanitize yoursink with special chemicals. In fact, you may want to do it every day or before preparing dinner.12. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to brush your teeth.B. To tell people the importance of health.C.

The toothbrush.C. The sink.D. The chemical.15. Why does Dr. Gerba mention the example of an alien?A. To tell us a fiction story of an alien studying bacteria.B. To show our kitchen sink may be dirtier than our toilet.C. To teach us how to reset sink’s bacteria count back to zero.D.
