The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However. it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. In my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race,he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give upon a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln. I discovered that I can fail successfully.24.How did the author feel after finishing his speech?A.ExcitedB. RelaxedC. NervousD. Confident25.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A.He was disappointed with his preparations.B.He hurt his toes on the way to the library.C.He got up late on the day of the contest.D.He was bottom of his group.26.What made the author decide to enter the second contest? A.The warmth of the victory. B. The inspiration from Lincoln.C. His eagerness for the prize money.D. His desire to show himself on the stage.27.What can be the best title for the text?A.Learn to fail successfullyB. Never mind others’ judgmentsC. Lincoln—my heroD. Losing—an indescribable feelingCSome of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longer than those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan(寿命) by up to two years,and the more often you read, the better.Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and that wealth itself increases longevity. It seemed self-evident: everything people need to be healthy from food to medical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn’t always fit that theory. Economic success didn’t always mean longer lives.In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase in lifespan than gains in wealth.One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. The reason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases their lifespan and most importantly also retards their aging process.Let’s look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social networks, they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They caneasily navigate (导航) the health care system; they have more social support.Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person’s life as it would allow the person to act with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Research has shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. This effect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age bar. Each and every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don’t hold back your urge to learn. The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.28.What did researchers find in the 1980s?cation does affect peoples lifespan.B.Health has nothing to do with wealth.C.Economic success always belongs to professors.D.Children from poor families can rarely gain higher education.29.What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.speeds upB. slows downC. turns backD. contributes to30.What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4?A.They learn more about human body and medical care.B.They can set up their own health care system.C.They are more connected to the society.D.They are skilled in doing research through social networks.31.What can we know about reading from the last paragraph?A.It is effective against cancer.B.It can change a person’s lifestyle completely.C.It can help people understand humans brain better.D.It is beneficial to peoples EQ and brain health.DOur body’s response is an important part of an emotional reaction to any event. If you’ve been criticized in public and found your face heated and your heart pounding, you’ve experienced your body’s reaction to shame.Sometimes what you’re feeling is clear and consistent with what you’re saying. You might say“welcome” as you greet a guest with a smile. But at other times, we mask our emotions from the people around us. There are many reasons to hide how you’re feeling. You don’t want to rock the boat in a strict teachers class or you don’t want to hurt a friend’s feelings. You simply want to smooth situations over.Even when you don’t communicate your feelings in spoken words, you may still be giving information with your body. Arms across your chest when you approach that new teacher? Looking down when you speak to your friend? These gestures are all important expressions of an emotion. Try understanding what others are communicating with their bodies. Notice things like eye contact, rate of speech and posture. How does their verbal communication match their body language? How about you?Try tuning in to your own body. How do you think others see you? Is that consistent with how you feel? Is it how you want to feel?Body language communication is a two-way street. It communicates to others what you are feeling,but it also has a powerful effect on your own emotional state. Changing your body and posture can affect how you feel. Sit up in the meeting and you might find yourself more focused. Take a deep breath and you feel less anxious.The body and your body language is a great field to dig into, especially if hiding how you feel has become habitual for you. Over time, if you become practiced in hiding your feelings, you may begin to hide them from yourself, too. Then the consequence can be losing contact with your own emotions. That’s actually harmful to your mental health.32.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A.make troubleB. studyC. apologizeD. go boating33.How does the author explain his ideas in the third paragraph?A.By listing data.B. By giving examples.C. By providing definitions.D. By analyzing previous results.34.The author uses the example of taking a deep breath to show .A.the significance of taking exerciseB.the necessity of hiding our feelingsC.the effects of body movements on our feelingsD.the importance of using postures in communication35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.We should practice controlling our feelings.B.Body language is hard for us to understand.C.We may try to record our feelings more often.D.Hiding feelings for long does harm to our health.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

People interested in the latest bag.CAccording to statistics published by the BPI (Buying Power Index) a couple of months ago, digital streaming (流媒体) now accounts for 80 percent of the music consumption in the UK. Despite the incredible growth of online streaming platforms like iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal over the past 15 years, a more traditional medium has also seen a return of interest and sales in the music industry. In 2020, almost one in five of all albums purchased in the UK is vinyl (黑胶唱片), and it has once again become the most popular physical musical medium.With digital streaming so easy and convenient, why are so many peopledrawn to traditional records? Someexperts claim that vinyl is a physical medium for experiencing music, something tangible (有形的) to hold and own. For most people, having something tangible and interacting with it gives depth to the experience of music. Listening to an album and touching it the way the artist intended can make them feel more connected to the music and the artist. Records are physical products that can be not only displayed but also gifted, shared, traded and passed down through generations.Sound quality is another hot topic. A lot of music lovers feel that the analogue sound (模拟声音) vinyl offers is superior to modern digital audio, particularly with regards to the compressed formats streaming platforms use. There’s a common belief that old-school analogue audio has a warmer, fuller sound than digitised music. For vinyl followers, the very defect traditional recorders often have, such as the familiar crackle (劈啪作响) when the record starts, bring the music to life in a different way.There’s aritualisticaspect to vinyl that a lot of people are drawn to, too. The act of putting a record on—carefully removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the record player and gently dropping the needle on the right groove (凹槽)—is a more assiduous (一丝不苟的), mindful way of engaging with music. When you’re listening to vinyl, you can’t tap abutton and go about your day while the streaming service provides hours of music. You need to stay close to the record player to move the needle and flip the record over.It’s clear that the vinyl interest is well underway, and vinyl records are truly making a comeback. In an increasingly digital society, there’s something to be said for analogue experiences. Perhaps one of the great things about being alive in the 21st century is our ability to have the best of both worlds—the timeless appeal of physical records alongside the easy access to vast music libraries that streaming offers.8. What are the statistics published by the BPI used to show?A. An increase in music consumption.B. The recovery of music industry.C. A comeback of a physical medium.D. The acceptance of online streaming.9. According to some experts, why does vinyl interest many people?A. It attracts people by its realistic feel.B. It offers simple access to different music.C. It shares a new way to enjoy music.D. It provides people with perfect sound effect.10. The underlined word “ritualistic” in Para.4 means something ______.A. Overlooked by society.B. Updated very frequently.C. Performed as part of a ceremony.D. Kept for a long time without changing.11. How does the writer feel about the future development of music medium?A. Traditional records will get underway.B. The analogue experiences may matter more.C. Vinyl sales will boom with technological advance.D. There should be a good mix of old and new.DGlobally, people use roofs to dry out food, do their laundry and sleep. In Belfast, where we're based, there's a culture of enjoying looking down on the city from up high, because it's in a valley. But because we were a conflict area for a long time,many people didn't want to live, work or hang out in the city, and our roofs cape has been neglected.Rooftop projects can be as big or as small as you want. They can be used as social or cultural spaces, for green or blue public facilities. But it's not just about commercial opportunities; it can be as simple as an individual turning his/her city balcony into a mini garden or vegetable patch. It's not just about doing it on a rooftop because it's “cool”.It's about giving up the deep-rooted thought that roofs are off limits and embracing their challenges as opportunities. That can make a huge difference. For instance, we're helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees, due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.Using rooftops creatively allows us to cope with many of the challenges faced by cities today--be those environmental, social, technological, or cultural. At the moment,we're being forced to rethink how we use public spaces due to COVID-19. With lots of restrictions on enclosed areas, we should be acknowledging rooftops alternatives.For example,Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops. Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama, while residents sat and watched, listening to the action through headphones. Are there any challenges? Rain is one. Also is health and safety. But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face. In fact,the challenges are what make rooftops so exciting----because they give you even more opportunities to be creative and solve problems. It is always a matter of trial and error.12. What can we learn about rooftops in the first two paragraphs?A. People enjoy getting together on rooftops.B. People can use rooftops to their own advantage.C. Rooftops are made good use of by locals in Belfast.D. Rooftops projects were launched for commercial reasons.13. How can rooftops benefit people in their life?A. Rooftops can be adapted to car parks.B. Rooftops help solve environmental problems.C. Rooftops can provide space for work and play.D. People can exchange their thoughts on rooftops.14. What will be possibly mentioned after the last paragraph?A. The new challenges of the future.B. Reasons for building rooftop projects.C. Exciting development of rooftop projects.D. Solutions to the challenges we are facing now.15. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce rooftop projects in Belfast.B. To encourage people to start rooftop projects.C. To analyze the current situation of rooftop projects.D. To offer suggestions on long-term city development.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。

APhysics is a different world now. Will there ever be another Einstein?Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival (对手) , Isaac Newton.Many physicis ts say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is only a baby now. That’s because the searching for a unified (统一的) theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon.For one thing, physics is quite a different field today. In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians.Education is different, too. One extremely important aspect of Einstein's training that failed to be considered is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think theoretically about space and time.And he was a skilled musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would fiercely play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts.Besides, those who stay in science don’t work alone. It’s very difficult to imagine an independent perso n like Einstein ever tolerating this.1. Which of the following best explains why the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet?A. Education today doesn’t pay enough attention to philosophy teaching.B. It isn’t known who will be another Einstein among newly-born babies.C. There were more physicists in Einstein's time than today.D. Math today is limited and cannot help the further development of physics.2. One of the reasons that made Einstein a great scientist is ______.A. the lack of physicists in his dayB. learning from Isaac NewtonC. the philosophy he read in his teensD. not going to work at Wall Street3. The underlined word “knotty” here probably means ______.A. difficult and puzzlingB. interesting and usefulC. important and meaningfulD. realistic and hardBAbout H1N12009 H1N1 viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get infected with H1N1 virus from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.Spread of H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu does, viruses are transmitted mainly through droplets(小滴)from coughing or sneezing of an infected person. Keeping a safe distance is recommended. Studies have also shown that flu virus can survive on object surfaces for 2 to 8 hour s. Sometimes viruses can be spread when a person touches something like the surface of a desk that is polluted with droplets, and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth before washing their hands.The symptoms of H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, run ny or stuffy nose and body aches. Severe illnesses and death have occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus. Protect-Yourself Tips1. CDC recommends a yearly seasonal flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against seasonal influenza.2. If you get seasonal or novel H1N1 flu, antiviral drugs can treat the flu.3. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started within the first 2 days of symptoms.4. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.5. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.7. Try to avoid close contact with sick people.8. If you are sick with flulike illness, CDC recommends tha t you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities.9. Follow public health advice, and avoid crowds.10.Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of OTC medicines, tissues and other related items might be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public.To stay well during flu season, click 2009 H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) and You for other helpful advice and information.4. To keep fit during flu season, we should keep in mind that________A. the period of the virus staying alive on the surfaces can be up to eight hoursB. touching objects polluted by virus is the major cause of getting infected.C. droplets of an infected person definitely get people infected.D. pork is not a medium of spreading and we can eat it however it is prepared.5. What should you do if you get H1N1 flu according to the passage?A. Take a H1N1 flu vaccine immediately.B. Stay home for at least 24 hours.C. Use antiviral drugs quickly.D. Prepare some OTC medicines.6. Where will you probably read this passage?A. In a daily-life newspaper.B. On a disease-prevention w ebsite.C. In a popular magazine.D. In a medical handbook.7. The abbreviation CDC most possibly stands for________.A. Citizens’ Defense CorpsB. Control Data CorpC. Civil Defense CouncilD. Centers for Disease ControlCThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外部的,表面的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts(路标) or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and th eir caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpe cted difficulti es.In this process, the journey never really ends;there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow.Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or t hat we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge.Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped insidea shell of our own making.8. In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______.A. succeed in climbing up the social ladderB. grow up from his own achievementsC.aim high and reach his goal each timeD. face diffic ulties and take up challenges9. For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ______.A. being curious about more changesB. staying away from failures and challengesC. being quick in self-adaptationD. having an open mind to new experiences10. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up.B. It is not so difficult to measure personal growth.C. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is avoidable.D. There are only two ways to see a person’s growth.11.The best title for this passage should be ______.A. Facing New ChallengesB. Overcoming Internal FearsC. Two Basic Ways of GrowthD. Growth—Product or ProcessDDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized 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(证明) that we cannot lie 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 action 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.

I am connected to many people working as volunteers all over the world, even after COVID-19 broke out.Twelve days ago, I was contacted by someone I know, a person from Kenya. He shared a story about his work for kindness and joy. In his sharing, I discovered his family and other families had no food since March 23 because of lockdown(禁闭).For one day I was grief-stricken for them. I mean, how could I, in North Carolina, possiblydo anything to help feed a man and 50 people on the other side of the world? After a sleepless night I awoke with clarity to give money to these families. It was not a lot of money, but all that I had and I was determined to find a way to get the funds to Kenya from the US. Luckily, I succeeded in the end. My friend has been able to make the money go far buying corn, oil, fruit, and vegetables to feed 20 adults and 30 children. And now they have food.Each day presents a new problem. Many more people in other countries in Africa have reached out to me asking for help. It is heartbreaking. I cannot help everyone with money but I am determined to help everyone I can with telling their stories through our column Global Storytellers for Kindness on our website. I asked my friend for a list of the children in his family. So now I sit with a list of 30 names, ages, and school years, wondering what on earth we can do for these children. Each night I sleep with a question and hope my dreams will give me guidance during my awake time.Each day is filled with problems and difficulties I could never have imagined, and also thoughts, actions, and ideas that are blossoming to extend love and mercy between many humans.(1)What caused the families from Kenya to suffer starvation?A The large population.B Lack of enough fund.C The lockdown in Kenya.D The poor production of crops.(2)What can we know about the author's help for those families in Kenya?A He raised a large amount of money.B He bought the necessities for them.C He helped them through an organization.D He overcame great trouble helping them.(3)How did the author feel when many people turned to him?A Heartbroken.B Confused.C Delighted.D Content.(4)Which of the following can best describe the author?A He can't have a sound sleep every night.B He is a man full of love andsympathy.

School is, waking up early in the morning, whether it is hot or cold, putting on school uniform and rushing to the bus stop to catch the school bus and getting used to the words “Hurry up! You will be late!” You reach school and again the same words “Hurry up!” do not let you rest in peace.Throughout the day, it is a mad rush. One period gets over, the other starts and you are ready for the second subject. When you forget to do your homework, you try to sit at the back and pretend to be looking for something on the floor or in your bag. You are lucky if you are not seen and it is bad luck if you get caught. If you are not lucky, be ready for a good scolding during break or after school. If you are lucky and your teacher is in a good mood, you may be left with a warning.However, school is not so dull all the time; the games, library period and breaks are a welcome time. When you can relax, joke and have fun with your friends. There are some teachers, too, who can make school very exciting. For example, Mr. Taneja, has a typical style of talking, making us always hooked on the playground.School can be fun, real fun, when picnics and field trips are organized. We wait for them eagerly and keep on requesting our class teacher to organize one for us. Debates, quizzes, cultural programmes also add luster to an otherwise dull school life. Fun increase after real hard work and you tend to enjoy more than those who had been lazy and have wasted their time. I think this period of your life is the most wonderful period-full of dreams and hope. (1)How is the school life described by the author in the passage?A Dull and stressful.B Stressful but interesting.C Strict and fearful.D Annoying but funny.(2)What can we conclude according to the second paragraph?A Some students hope to get away with their fault.B Teachers should be more patient to their students.C Some students dislike finishing their homework.D Teachers should reduce the amount of homework.(3)Which subject does Mr. Taneja teach at school?A Physics.B Language.C Chemistry.D Physical Education.(4)What does the underlined word “luster” mean in th e passage?A Difficulty.B Value.C Pleasure.D Trouble.4. The World Health Organization(WHO)says it is possible to defeat the disease malaria (疟疾),although that is not likely to happen with the current methods.Pedro Alonso, directing the United Nations agency's global malaria program, says the WHO wants to eradicate(根除)the disease but “with the tools we have today, it is most unlikely that the goal will be achieved.”Malaria infected around 219 million people in 2017, when about 435,000 people died from the disease. The large majority were babies and children in the poorest areas of Africa. These totals little changed from 2016.But the numbers are smaller than the 239 million infections and 607,000 deaths reported in 2010.Diallo is head of the RBM Partnership to End Malaria. The group released a statement from him on the WHO report, saying, “Today, there are more countries without malaria than with it, and more countries than ever have fewer than 10,000 malaria cases.”WHO officials have long wanted to destroy malaria. The United Nations agency first attempted a campaign against the disease in 1955.Now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing financial support for the latest efforts.There are a number of drugs available to successfully treat malaria. Sleeping under chemically-treated bed nets has proven to be effective in order to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes and infections. The drug company GSK has also developed a vaccine that has proven partially effective against malaria. The vaccine is currently used in Ghana and Malawi. But the WHO's report says these tools will not be enough to end the threat from malaria altogether. It calls for research and development of“transformative tools and knowledge” to control mosquitoes and create more effective medicines to prevent and treat the disease. (1)How many people suffered from malaria in 2016?A Around 219 million people.B About 435,000 people.C 239 million people or so.D About 607,000 people.(2)What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A Diallo feels worried about how to defeat malaria.B Malaria is a common disease in many countries.C WHO is in great need of financial support nowadaysactually. D Humans have made great achievement in fighting with malaria.(3)What can we know about the vaccine from GSK in the opinion of the WHO?A It can help effectively cure malaria.B It needs to be further developed.C It can kill mosquitoes in a short time.D It almost has no impact on malaria.(4)Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A Possible to Defeat Malaria, But Probably Not SoonB Drug Company GSK Determinesto Defeat Malaria C Malaria Control the Earth Long, But is toDisappear D Transformative Tools and Knowledge on the Way二、七选五5.

Back then, he dreamed of a day when robots might take over the dirty, repetitive(重复的)parts of his job, such as earth moving. Years later, Ready-Campbell left his job as an engineer with Google to make that dream come true.Ready-Campbell formed a company called Built Robotics, which develops technology to produce self-driving heavy equipment. Ready-Campbell says the company’s goal is to make construction safer, faster and less costly. The construction industry struggles to find skilled workers and faces a growing number of unfinished projects. But self-operating machines are changing the nature of building.Workers at Berich Masonry in Englewood, Colorado, recently spent several weeks learning how to operate a robot called SAM, or the Semi-Automated Mason. SAM is a $400,000 machine from the company Construction Robotics. It can lay 3,000 bricks in eight hours. That’s several times more than a human bricklayer can do in the same period. But humans are still needed to load bricks into the SAM and make sure it works right. Bricklayer Michael Walsh says the SAM lessens the load on his body. But he doesn’t think it will take his job.Brian Kennedy agrees, too. His organization supports the rights of construction workers in the United States and Canada. Kennedy says the union is not worried that machines will replace human workers any time soon.The rise of construction robots comes as the building industry faces a severe decrease in labor supply. One recent study showed that 70 percent of construction businesses have a difficult time finding skilled workers. Mike Moy heads a mining operation for the building materials supplier Lehigh Hanson. He says it’s difficult to find people who even know how to operate some of the necessary equipment. “Nobody wants to get their hands dirty any more. They wanta nice, clean job in an office,” he noted.24. What does the first paragraph say about Noah Ready-Campbell?A. He enjoys doing repetitive work.B. He is now an employee of Google.C. He joined Google to realize that dream.D. He used to work in construction field.25. One of the aims of Built Robotics is to ________________A. enlarge construction quantity.B. increase construction speed.C. improve construction designs.D. change construction steps.26. What can be inferred about SAM from the text?A. It can totally replace human bricklayers.B. It is complexly built but easy to operate.C. It is unable to work completely automatically.D. It is cheap but works much faster than humans.27. In Mike Moy’s opinion, what prevents many construction businesses fromfinding skilled workers?A. Their poor working conditions.B. Their potential risks.C. Their heavy work loads.D. Their low pay.CTom Costello was once afraid of homeless Americans. “I was so afraid that if I saw a homeless person walking down the street, I’d cross the street,” he said.That changed seven years ago after his wife, Nancy, a volunteer at a homeless shelter, persuaded him to help with a holiday dinner for shelter residents. Tom remembered going to a store and buying socks for the residents. He knew many of them were in need of clothing.At the shelter, Tom said, he dropped a pair of socks into a bag for a woman. She asked him if she could have socks for a friend who wasn’t with her that day. He gave her another pair. “She started to cry and told me that nobody had ever given her socks before,” Tom said, “Then she reached out and gave me a hug.” That experience at the shelter helped Tom end his fear of the homeless.It also led him to set up a group called “The Joy of Sox”, which borrows from a name of a popular book. The group collects socks from donors and gives them mostly to shelters in the area where Tom and Nancy live. It has been expanding its reach and provides socks to homeless shelters in 21 states and other three countries now.Why socks? Tom explains that some Americans give food, coats and other clothing to shelters. But donating socks is not something most people think about. And, he said, socks are very helpful at keeping people warm, especially in cold weather. A man named Kiwi, who has lived in homeless shelters, said most of the time he could find enough food through shelters and soup kitchens. But socks were much more difficult to get, he noted.28. Which one of the following removed Tom’ s fright of the homeless?A. A woman’s need for socks.B. The encouragement from Nancy.C. The hug from a homeless person.D. The first experience of helping the homeless.29. What did Tom do when the woman asked for another pair of socks?A. He felt afraid.B. He walked away.C. He satisfied her demand.D. He gave her a hug.30. What can we know about “The Joy of Sox”?A. It got the name from a book.B. It was founded by Tom and Nancy.C. It helps the homeless of three countries.D. It buys different socks for the homeless.31. Why does Tom provide socks for the homeless?A. The homeless are lack of socks.B. Tom’ s wife persuaded him to do so.C. Socks are popular among the donators.D. The homeless can’t buy socks in shelters.DCalorie(卡路里)counts are everywhere. They appear on restaurant menus, milk boxes and bags of baby carrots. Grocery stores display lots of foods packaged with bright and colorful “low-calorie” claims.A calorie is the measure of stored energy in something---energy that can be released as heat when burned. The term calorie on food labels is short for kilocalorie. A kilocalorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. But what does boiling water have to do with your body’s release of energy from food? After all, your body doesn’t start boiling after eating. It does, however, chemically break down food into sugars. The body then releases the energy to fuel processes and activities throughout each hour of the day.Food contains three main types of nutrients that deliver energy: fats, proteins and carbs(碳水化合物). A process called metabolism(新陈代谢) first cuts these into small pieces. Proteins break down into amino acids(氨基酸), fats into fatty acids and carbs into simple sugars. Then, the body uses oxygen to break down these materials to release heat.Most of this energy goes toward powering the heart, lungs, brain and other vital processes. Exercise and other activities also use energy. If energy-rich nutrients aren’t used right away, your body will hoard them---first in the liver(肝脏), and then later as body fat.In general, someone should eat the same amount of energy each day as his or her body will use. If the balance is off, they will lose or gain weight. It’s very easy to eat more calories than the body needs. Having two 200- calorie donuts in addition to regular meals could easily put teens over their daily needs. At the same time, it’s nearly impossible to balance overeating with extra exercise. Running a mile burns just 100 calories. Knowing how many calories are in the food we eat can help keep the energy in and out balanced.32. How much energy does it need to lift the temperature of 5 kilograms of waterby 10 degree Celsius?A. One kilocalorie.B. Five kilocalories.C. Ten kilocalories.D. Fifty kilocalories.33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How the nutrients are classified.B. How oxygen works in human body.C. How the food types affect metabolism.D. How the body gets heat fromnutrients.34. What does the underlined word “hoard” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Store.B. Remove.C. Replace.D. Burn.35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It is good for our health to do exercises.B. It’s really difficult to control our weight.C. It is important to control the calories we take.D. It is good for our body to eat the same type of nutrients.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWorlds of FunLocation: Worlds of Fun is located off Highway 435 in Kansas City, Missouri. History: Worlds of Fun was opened on May 26, 1973, at a cost of 25 million dollars. Loosely themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby water park, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun were combined to a one ticket admission, providing all guests with access to 235 acres of amusement and water rides. Hours: Worlds of Fun is open from April through Halloween.Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance to save time when you get to the park.Reservations: Worlds of Fun sells “Fast Lane” cards that save riders’ time by allowing them to bypass the majority of wait for most of rides and attractions including Mamba, Prowler, and Patriot. Ride as many times as you want all day long. Strategy: Most visitors tend to begin the day with Prowler, the hottest attraction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to the Patriot first. After that, try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, there is only one coaster left, Mamba. Hit it next. If the park is not very crowded, you can ride Boomerang on the way to Mamba. After riding Mamba, head back for a ride on the Wolf. By then you will have tried most of the popular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time.News: In 2017, Worlds of Fun is adding Steel Hawk, a ride that will take guests up 301 feet in the air and spin them at a 45-degree angle for a 60-second flight. Wait to have a try!21. When did Hunt Midwest’s two parks start to share one ticket?A. In 1973B. In 2017C. In 1982D. In 201322.

He fired people who didn’tdo well without giving them a second chance.“Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry---but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir---if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman(田径运动员)and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ(冠军)there.”The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time---a faraway look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means long hours---maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School---written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple(跛脚的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big---that he won’t even know about.Your son,Herbie24. The underlined word “drop” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _______.A. punishB. fallC. closeD. sell25. It can be inferred from the text that Champ is _________.A. a classmate of Watson’s sonB. the son of Mr. Smith’s friendC. Watson’s sonD. Mr. Smith’s son26.

Watson was given a second chance because_________A. a man was needed in another departmentB. Mr. Smith wanted to realize his son’s dreamC. Mr. Smith wanted to help Watson’s sonD. Herbie told Mr. Smith to do so in his letterCGenetically Modified (GM,转基因) food is unfortunately becoming more popular among farmers and food processors. Crops are being genetically modified to resist insects, plant diseases, insecticides(杀虫剂). Plants are also modified to look bigger and better. Unfortunately the en d goal isn’t providing nutrition for people, it’s toincrease profit and to make food look better. In fact many modern fruits and vegetables are twice the size of what they used to be while having far less vitamins, and not tasting good either. Now research is showing that genetically modified food might even be bad for you.GM organisms are organisms that have genes inserted into their DNA in order to offer certain characteristics. In this way you can make it better, or make it last longer. Jeffrey M. Smith has published a study about the dangers of GM food. It was discovered that when GM soy was fed to female rats they found that all their young died within 3 weeks compared to a natural 10% death rate. Their young were also born smaller and they later had problems becoming pregnant. A study of pigs found that they also became infertile(不育) after eating GM corn.Many people are eating GM food without even realizing it. The solution to this problem is simple. Human beings existed in their current form for hundreds of thousands of years. For most of that time we ate a diet consisting of meat, fruit, vegetable, fish, eggs and nuts. This is our perfect diet which leads us to live a healthy and long life. But over the last 30 years North America has experienced diabetes, cancer and heart disease. All is due to the misinformation provided by lobby groups who work on behalf of the manufacturers of GM food. The way to avoid obesity, heart disease and cancer is by eating like our stone-age ancestors.28. According to the author, what inspired the popularity of GM crops?A. High profits.B. Rich nutrition.C. Unique taste.D. Energy saving29. What had we better do if we want to stay healthy according to the text?A. Eat more fruit.B. Be vegetarians.C. Eat more grains.D. Eat traditional foods.30. We can infer that the lobby groups (in Paragraph 4) are people who are ______.A. scientists who give out false information because of carelessnessB. doctors who try to profit from patients who suffer from unhealthy foodC. workers who try to cheat customers for the benefits of food producersD. agricultural technicians who are responsible for promoting new product31. What can be the best title for the passage?A. GM Food Is More Popular.B. GM Food Is Very Dangerous.C. GM Food Produces More Nutrition.D. GM Food Brings In Higher Profit.DPublic transport is decreasing in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze(挤) onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city. That is true despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being less competitive. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered "e-bikes", both of which are spreading.There is some doubt whether most people make clear distinctions between public and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that requires much sweet-talking of traditional networks as well as technology firms, which is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.32. What is the change in public transport in big cities?A. It is becoming busier.B. It is getting less popular.C. There are fewer traffic delays.D. There is more new transport.33. In the author’s opinion, the reason for the decrease of public transport is that ______.A. there are roadworks and broken signalsB. people are becoming healthier and employedC. cars and bikes are more and more availableD. transport agencies are seemingly less competitive34. How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?A. By giving examplesB. By providing research resultsC. By stating argumentsD. By comparing different approaches35. According to the text, the key to keeping cities moving is ____________.A. to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyoneB. to build a platform that appeals to transport agenciesC. to provide people with more means of transportationD. to satisfy the needs of both traditional networks and technology firms第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2019-2020学年商丘市第一高级中学高三英语下学期期末试题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AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890. When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1. What do the four paintings have in common?A. They are oil paintings.B. They are kept inNew York.C. They show different people’s lives.D. They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2. What do we know about The Starry Night?A. It shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B. Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C. A private collector gave it away to the museum.D. It was not famous before 1941.3. Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A. Jan van Eyck.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Pieter Bruegel.D. Pablo Picasso.BAs an old saying inChinagoes, “The days of the Sanjiu periodare the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period” , which is in Minor Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the l9th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice(冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold inChina.Eating hotpotDuringMinor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.Eating huangyacaiInTianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising.Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭)According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.Eating vegetable riceIn ancient times, people inNanjingtook Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients (原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausages and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.4. What do we know about Minor Cold?A. It refers to the Winter Solstice.B. The Sanjiu period is in this period.C. It lasts twenty-seven days.D. It marks the first day of winter.5. What is a special custom in Tianjin in Minor Cold?A. Eating hotpot.B. Having vitamin A and B pills.C. Having huangyacai.D. Buying cabbage.6. How do the Cantonese eat glutinous rice?A. They fry and toast it.B. They eatit for dinner.C. They mix it with many other things.D. They steam it with soy sauce.7. This text may be taken from the ________ column (栏目) of a newspaper.A. travelB. cultureC. fashionD. scienceCJake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, “During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects.”However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use ofgas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, “Working from home and having increased gas use inthe home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs to change if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”Jess Ralston said, “The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating. ”The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.8. How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?A. He was cured of his asthma.B. He had to go to hospital for retreatment.C. He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.D. He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.9. What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit?A. The epidemic will become worse.B. Air pollution will get worse this winter.C. People may have to work from home longer.D. There is less energy for gas boilers in winter.10. What would Jess Ralston agree with?A. People prefer to work from home in winter.B. The government failed to protect the environment.C. People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.D. The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.11. How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?A. A warmer winter season.B. Less and less gas boilers.C. Practical plans from the government.D. Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.DGray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the northernMidwest.Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. ernment worked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January 4, 2021, theU. ernment removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm animals will be killed by wolves.But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again. They hope that no matter what, people and wolves can get along peacefully with each other. They are promoting ways to make that happen.12. What caused gray wolves to be almost extinct?A. Losing their living areas.B. Too many natural enemies.C. The extreme climate changes.D. Being hunted in great numbers.13. What does the underlined word "illicit" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Rather difficult.B. Against the law.C. Totally normal.D. Conditionally allowable.14. Why was the gray wolf removed from the endangered-species list?A. They have a much larger population already.B. They have all been put into the safe natural parks.C. They have been feeding on farmers, farm animals.D. They have grown too strong to be protected by humans.15. What do farmers living near gray wolves' living areas think of the animals?A. The wolves are trouble for them.B. The wolves must be better protected.C. The wolves get along peacefully with them.D. The wolves should live where they belong.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。

Back then, he dreamed of a day when robots might take over the dirty, repetitive(重复的)parts of his job, such as earth moving. Years later, Ready-Campbell left his job as an engineer with Google to make that dream come true.Ready-Campbell formed a company called Built Robotics, which develops technology to produce self-driving heavy equipment. Ready-Campbell says the company’s goal is to make construction safer, faster and less costly. The construction industry struggles to find skilled workers and faces a growing number of unfinished projects. But self-operating machines are changing the nature of building.Workers at Berich Masonry in Englewood, Colorado, recently spent several weeks learning how to operate a robot called SAM, or the Semi-Automated Mason. SAM is a $400,000 machine from the company Construction Robotics. It can lay 3,000 bricks in eight hours. That’s several times more than a human bricklayer can do in the s ame period. But humans are still needed to load bricks into the SAM and make sure it works right. Bricklayer Michael Walsh says the SAM lessens the load on his body. But he doesn’t think it will take his job.Brian Kennedy agrees, too. His organization supports the rights of construction workers in the United States and Canada. Kennedy says the union is not worried that machines will replace human workers any time soon.The rise of construction robots comes as the building industry faces a severe decrease in labor supply. One recent study showed that 70 percent of construction businesses have a difficult time finding skilled workers. Mike Moy heads a mining operation for the building materials supplier Lehigh Hanson. He says it’s difficult to find people who even know how to operate some of the necessary equipment. “Nobody wants to get their hands dirty any more. They want a nice, clean job in an office,” he noted.24. What does the first paragraph say about Noah Ready-Campbell?A. He enjoys doing repetitive work.B. He is now an employee of Google.C. He joined Google to realize that dream.D. He used to work in construction field.25. One of the aims of Built Robotics is to ________________A. enlarge construction quantity.B. increase construction speed.C. improve construction designs.D. change construction steps.26. What can be inferred about SAM from the text?A. It can totally replace human bricklayers.B. It is complexly built but easy to operate.C. It is unable to work completely automatically.D. It is cheap but works much faster than humans.27. In Mike Moy’s opinion, what prevents many construction businesses from findingskilled workers?A. Their poor working conditions.B. Their potential risks.C. Their heavy work loads.D. Their low pay.CTom Costello was once afraid of homeless Americans. “I was so afraid that if I saw a home less person walking down the street, I’d cross the street,” he said.That changed seven years ago after his wife, Nancy, a volunteer at a homeless shelter, persuaded him to help with a holiday dinner for shelter residents. Tom remembered going to a store and buying socks for the residents. He knew many of them were in need of clothing.At the shelter, Tom said, he dropped a pair of socks into a bag for a woman. She asked him if she could have socks for a friend who wasn’t with her that day. He gave her another pair. “She started to cry and told me that nobody had ever given her socks before,” Tom said, “Then she reached out and gave me a hug.” That experience at the shelter helped Tom end his fear of the homeless.It also led him to set up a group called “The Joy of Sox”, which borrows from a name of a popular book. The group collects socks from donors and gives them mostly to shelters in the area where Tom and Nancy live. It has been expanding its reach and provides socks to homeless shelters in 21 states and other three countries now.Why socks? Tom explains that some Americans give food, coats and other clothing to shelters. But donating socks is not something most people think about. And, he said, socks are very helpful at keeping people warm, especially in cold weather. A man named Kiwi, who has lived in homeless shelters, said most of the time he could find enough food through shelters and soup kitchens. But socks were much more difficult to get, he noted.28. Which one of the following removed Tom’ s fright of the homeless?A. A woman’s need for socks.B. The encouragement from Nancy.C. The hug from a homeless person.D. The first experience of helping the homeless.29. What did Tom do when the woman asked for another pair of socks?A. He felt afraid.B. He walked away.C. He satisfied her demand.D. He gave her a hug.30. What can we know ab out “The Joy of Sox”?A. It got the name from a book.B. It was founded by Tom and Nancy.C. It helps the homeless of three countries.D. It buys different socks for the homeless.31. Why does Tom provide socks for the homeless?A. The homeless are lack of socks.B. Tom’ s wife persuaded him to do so.C. Socks are popular among the donators.D. The homeless can’t buy socks in shelters.DCalorie(卡路里)counts are everywhere. They appear on restaurant menus, milk boxes and bags of baby carrots. Grocery stores display lots of foods packaged with bright and colorful “low-calorie” claims.A calorie is the measure of stored energy in something---energy that can be released as heat when burned. The term calorie on food labels is short for kilocalorie.A kilocalorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. But what does boiling water have to do with your body’s release of energy from food? After all, your body doesn’t start boiling after ea ting. It does, however, chemically break down food into sugars. The body then releases the energy to fuel processes and activities throughout each hour of the day.Food contains three main types of nutrients that deliver energy: fats, proteins and carbs(碳水化合物). A process called metabolism(新陈代谢) first cuts these into small pieces. Proteins break down into amino acids(氨基酸), fats into fatty acids and carbs into simple sugars. Then, the body uses oxygen to break down these materials to release heat.Most of this energy goes toward powering the heart, lungs, brain and other vital processes. Exercise and other activities also use energy. If energy-rich nutrients aren’t used right away, your body will hoard them---first in the liver(肝脏), and then later as body fat.In general, someone should eat the same amount of energy each day as his or her body will use. If the balance is off, they will lose or gain weight. It’s very easy to eat more calories than the body needs. Having two 200- calorie donuts in addition to regular meals could easily put teens over their daily needs. At the same time, it’s nearly impossible to balance overeating with extra exercise. Running a mile burns just 100 calories. Knowing how many calories are in the food we eat can help keep the energy in and out balanced.32. How much energy does it need to lift the temperature of 5 kilograms of water by10 degree Celsius?A. One kilocalorie.B. Five kilocalories.C. Ten kilocalories.D. Fifty kilocalories.33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How the nutrients are classified.B. How oxygen works in human body.C. How the food types affect metabolism.D. How the body gets heat from nutrients.34. What does the underlined word “hoard” in Paragraph 4 mea n?A. Store.B. Remove.C. Replace.D. Burn.35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It is good for our health to do exercises.B. It’s really difficult to control our weight.C. It is important to control the calories we take.D. It is good for our body to eat the same type of nutrients.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However. it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. In my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race,he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give upon a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln. I discovered that I can fail successfully.24.How did the author feel after finishing his speech?A.ExcitedB. RelaxedC. NervousD. Confident25.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A.He was disappointed with his preparations.B.He hurt his toes on the way to the library.C.He got up late on the day of the contest.D.He was bottom of his group.26.What made the author decide to enter the second contest?A.The warmth of the victory.B. The inspiration from Lincoln.C. His eagerness for the prize money.D. His desire to show himself on the stage.A.27.What can be the best title for the text?A.Learn to fail successfullyB. Never mind others’ judgmentsC. Lincoln—my heroD. Losing—an indescribable feelingCSome of the recent scientific studies have found that people who receive higher education live longerthan those who do not. According to a new study, reading books extends lifespan(寿命) by up to two years,and the more often you read, the better.Back in 1975, economists concluded that longer lifespan is linked to the wealth of a person, and thatwealth itself increases longevity. It seemed self-evident: everything people need to be healthy from food tomedical care costs money. But soon it was realized that the data didn’t always fit that theory. Economicsuccess didn’t always mean longer lives.In the 1980s, researchers found gaining higher education is connected with a greater increase inlifespan than gains in wealth.One fact is of teachers and college professors: they live longer than the rest of the population. Thereason is that they engage in research most of their lives for teaching or publishing, which increases theirlifespan and most importantly also retards their aging process.Let’s look at what benefits educated people. Educated people get routinely involved in social networks, they get access to information because of their ability to understand information. They caneasily navigate (导航) the health care system; they have more social support.Reading helps us understand how other people think and feel. Reading improves our emotional intelligence. This understanding can improve the quality of a person’s life as it would allow the person toact with better judgment and have more insight into the feelings and thought patterns of others. Researchhas shown that reading changes certain areas of the brain and causes certain other parts to be active. Thiseffect can also be observed in adults who learn to read much later in life. Learning has no age bar. Eachand every human is born with the right to be educated. So, don’t hold back your urge to learn. The goal of education is to improve intelligence as well as the lifespan.28.What did researchers find in the 1980s?cation does affect peoples lifespan.B.Health has nothing to do with wealth.C.Economic success always belongs to professors.D.Children from poor families can rarely gain higher education.29.What does the underlined word “retards” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.speeds upB. slows downC. turns backD. contributes to30.What is the advantage of educated people according to Paragraph 4?A.They learn more about human body and medical care.B.They can set up their own health care system.C.They are more connected to the society.D.They are skilled in doing research through social networks.31.What can we know about reading from the last paragraph?It is effective against cancer.B.It can change a person’s lifestyle completely.C.It can help people understand humans brain better.D.It is beneficial to peoples EQ and brain health.DOur body’s response is an important part of an emotional reaction to any event. If you’ve been criticized in public and found your face heated and your heart pounding, you’ve experienced your body’s reaction to shame.Sometimes what you’re feeling is clear and consistent with what you’re saying. You might say “welcome” as you greet a guest with a smile. But at other times, we mask our emotions from the people around us. There are many reasons to hide how you’re feeling. You don’t want to rock the boat in a strict teachers class or you don’t want to hurt a friend’s feelings. You simply want to smooth situations over.Even when you don’t communicate your feelings in spoken words, you may still be giving information with your body. Arms across your chest when you approach that new teacher? Looking down when you speak to your friend? These gestures are all important expressions of an emotion. Try understanding what others are communicating with their bodies. Notice things like eye contact, rate of speech and posture. How does their verbal communication match their body language? How about you? Try tuning in to your own body. How do you think others see you? Is that consistent with how you feel? Is it how you want to feel?Body language communication is a two-way street. It communicates to others what you are feeling, but it also has a powerful effect on your own emotional state. Changing your body and posture can affect how you feel. Sit up in the meeting and you might find yourself more focused. Take a deep breath and you feel less anxious.The body and your body language is a great field to dig into, especially if hiding how you feel has become habitual for you. Over time, if you become practiced in hiding your feelings, you may begin to hide them from yourself, too. Then the consequence can be losing contact with your own emotions. That’s actually harmful to your mental health.32.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A.make troubleB. studyC. apologizeD. go boating33.How does the author explain his ideas in the third paragraph?A.By listing data.B.
