AControlling your food longings and dropping pounds fast is easy：Just eat breakfast.The editors of Eat This，Not That! carried out research to determine some best breakfast foods for weight loss.Black BeansProtein，per 1/2 cup：7gBlack beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down.Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers found that with black beans consumed daily，study participants’ fat reduced by 4 percent over two years.Peanut ButterProtein，per 2 tbsp(汤匙)：7－8gWhile processed peanut butter is filled with sugar and oils，the real stuff is made with just two ingredients：salt and peanuts.The peanut is filled with heart­healthy monounsaturated(单一不饱和的) fats.Nutritionist and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger suggests using the healthy fat in an AM smoothie.Almond ButterProtein，per 2 tbsp：7－8g“Almond butter is high in protein，fiber and monounsaturated fats，”says Martha McKittrick，RDN，CDE.“Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those whoavoid them，likely because it helps you feel fuller.” To get the benefits at breakfast，McKittrick suggests spreading some nut butter on the whole grain toast.EggsProtein，per two large eggs：13g“Eggs are an excellent source of protein and other healthy nutrients including fat­burning choline(胆碱)，” says McKittrick.Choline，also found in lean(瘦的) meats，seafood and collard greens，attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver(肝脏)，according to Zero Belly Cookbook.The more eggs you eat，the less egg­shaped you get.21.Which two foods contain the same amount of protein?A.Black beans and eggs.B.Almond butter and eggs.C.Black beans and peanut butter.D.Peanut butter and almond butter.22.How does almond butter help control weight?A.It helps people sleep better.B.It offers people more protein.C.It makes people feel fuller.D.It makes people burn more calories.23.What food will a doctor advise heart disease patients to eat?A.Peanut butter.B.Almond butter.C.Black beans.D.Eggs.BI was blind，but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all，I was a teenage girl，and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them.I must have been a terrible danger on the ing across me wandering through the traffic，motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that，there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening，I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses，and as usual I ran into something.“I’m awfully sorry，” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time，I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop，which was a request stop，where the bus wouldn’t stop unlesspassengers wanted to get on or off.No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation，because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help，I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end，I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass，or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself，I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.24.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought .A.she might be recognizedB.asking for help looked sillyC.she was normal and independentD.being found blind was embarrassing25.After the girl got off the bus that evening，she .A.began to runB.hit a person as usualC.hit a lamppost by accidentD.was caught by something26.At the request stop that evening，the girl .A.stopped a big lorryB.stopped the wrong busC.made no attempt to stop the busD.was not noticed by other people27.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A.Other vehicles also stopped there.B.It was unreliable for making judgments.C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.CScientists in England are using two self­directed water vehicles to explore the animal and plant life of the Celtic Sea.The Celtic Sea is a body of water off the southern coast of Ireland.The area is known for its unusual sea life.Scientists want to know why sea creatures are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries(电池).It collects information for the National Oceanography Center in Southampton，England，and the World Wildlife Fund.The vehicle’s low energy requirements permit it to stay floating on water for up to 30 days.Reports of what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite.Stephen Woodward is an engineer who helped design the vehicle.He says the vehicle has equipment that can discover small organisms called zooplankton(浮游动物)and fish.He adds that other sensing equipment measures water currents and other features of sea life.The vehicle also creates a map of the sea.Another vehicle is powered by the sun and the wind.It can stay floating on water for months.The robotic vehicle sends information about the so­called biodiversity hotspots.A biodiversity hotspot is an area of an ocean that has a lot of plant and animal life activity.Lavinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the Celtic Sea.She says productive ocean areas，like the Celtic Sea，attract zooplankton.The zooplankton then attracts fish.She adds that areas with a large increase of fish often attract sea mammals and birds.Using these robotic ocean vehicles greatly reduces the cost of exploring the sea with manned laboratories.Scientists can spend more time analyzing the collected information.They say the research will give them a better understanding of the needs of the Celtic Sea for future management and protection.28.Why do the British scientists explore the Celtic Sea?A.To study the geography of the sea.B.To learn why the sea is rich in sea life.C.To test their self­directed water vehicles.D.To learn about the sea creatures in the sea.29.According to the text，the water vehicles .A.are controlled directly by humansB.work depending on the map of the seaC.can send the information back directlyD.can keep floating on water for a long time30.According to Lavinia Suberg，the sea mammals and birds .A.are afraid of living aloneB.mainly feed on zooplanktonC.like to live in warm ocean areasD.are especially interested in fish31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The aim of sea exploration.B.The cost of exploring the sea.C.The importance of the water vehicles.D.Ways to deal with the collected information.DRecently I read Nineteen Eighty-Four, a novel by George Orwell set in a totalitarian(极权主义的) state where even the language they use is controlled. Adjectives are forbidden and instead they use phrases such as "ungood", "plus good" and "double plus good" to express emotions.As I first read this I thought how impossible it would be in our society to have such vocabulary. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized in its own way it was already happening. I type messages to my friends and alongside each is an emoji(表情符号). I often use them to emphasize something, or to not seem too serious, or because this specific GIF conveys my emotions much better than I ever could using just words. And I wonder, "with too much use of emojis, are we losing the beauty and diversity of our vocabulary?"English has the largest vocabulary in the world, with over one million words, but who’s to say what it’ll be like in the future? Perhaps we will have a shorter language, full of saying "cry face" if something sad happens or using LOL (laugh out loud) or BRB (be right back) instead of saying the full phrase. So does this mean our vocabulary will shrink? Is it the start of an exciting new era?Y et when you look back over time, the power of image has always been there. Even in the prehistoric era they used imagery to communicate, and what’s even more incredible is that we are able to analyse those drawings and understand the meaning of them thousands of years later. Pictures have the ability to go beyond time and language. Images, whether they are cave paintings or emojis, allow us to convey a message that’s not restrictive but rather universal.32. What is the reason for the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four being mentioned?A. To introduce the following topic.B. To recommend this book to readers.C. To show the author’s special interest.D. To show the diversity of languages.33. Why does the author often use emojis while typing messages?A. They are easy to type.B. They are amusing to use.C. They can better convey emotions.D.They reflect the diversity of languages.34. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. English vocabulary will become smaller.B. A new language era has come into being.C. English will be replaced by a short language.D. Short forms of words are popular nowadays.35. What might be the author’s opinion?A. We shouldn’t use emojis too much.B. Emojis can be understood universally.C. Languages will be replaced by emojis.D. We have to learn several languages.【答案】21-23 DCA 24-27 DCCB 28-31 BDDC 32-35 ACDB江西省萍乡市莲花中学2020-2021学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Under a deal with the government, V olkswagen, a carmaker, has donated several new electric vehicles for use by Astypalea’s public services; it will sell others at cost price to its 1,200 year-round residents. In return, the government has offered more financial assistance for islanders to buy electric cars and will build a solar and wind-fuelled power plant to replace polluting generators.Unlike other nearby islands, Astypalea is not connected to Greece’s electricity providers. With only 3,000 rooms for visitors in small hotels or flats, tourism is still low-key. Many residents make a living the old-fashioned way: raising goats, keeping bees and fishing. The island was selected for V olkswagen’s experiment after Nikos Komineas, the go-ahead mayor, contacted the transport ministry for help in finding an electric bus to try out on its rough roads.Most islanders sound keen on the project. Mr Komineas expects the number of private cars on Astypalea to fall by a third over the next five years. Its residents, he says, will get around on electric minibuses, which will be free, linked to a mobile-phone app and available round the clock.Some observers smell green washing in the project. A bid for a solar park that would generate half the island’s electricity within three years will not get under way before the tourist season ends. A single wind-fuelled engine will be set up only in 2026, assuming the licensing process goes smoothly. That is not normally the case in the Aegean, where islanders worry that tourists will go elsewhere if the view is spoiled by an engine 200 meters high. And even then, the solar and wind-fulled power unit is planned to cover only about 80% of summer demand. But it is a start.4．Why has Volkswagen signed the deal with the government?A．To control car prices.B．To help generate electricity.C．To promote public transport.D．To build a zero-carbon island. 5．What makes Astypalea different from other nearby islands?A．It has an aggressive leader.B．It is out of the national electricity network.C．It is a crowded tourist destination.D．It has various goats, bees and fishes.6．What can be inferred from the text?A．The experiment will come to nothing.B．There are barriers in conducting the project.C．Green tourism will become a trend in Greece.D．The islanders are unwilling to change their lifestyle.7．What does the author think of the project?A．It’s pioneering.B．It’s practical.C．It’s destructive.D．It’s costly.There are some 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, each unique, using different sounds, vocabularies and structures. Charles the Great said: “To have a second language is to have a second soul.” This begs the question: Does the language we speak shape who we are? As it turns out, yes.In societies such as the United States or Western Europe, self-expression and language precision are valued. Asian cultures, on the other hand, prefer an indirect form of communication. Words like “perhaps” and “maybe” are used more than “yes” or “no”. Americanism takes an informal approach to communication. Therefore, it’s OK to refer to a stranger or the boss as “you”. However, the Thai language has 12 forms of the same pronoun, choosing one depends on status. In this way, languages are essential in leading any culture, be that our own or otherwise.People who speak different languages notice different things, depending on the constructs of their mother tongue. Take an accident. In English, it’s OK to say: “She broke the glass.” But in a language like Spanish, you’d probably go with: “The glass broke.” The same incident produces two different responses. English speakers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers are more likely to remember it was an accident. This has real consequences, especially when it comes to crime andpunishment.Professor Jim Cummins has written extensively on mother tongues. For Cummins, the stronger our home language, the easier it is for us to learn others. Of course, research also shows that being bilingual gives people many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops our ability to “understand the mental world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that world is different from our own.”Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. Like us, languages are living things that change over time and must be cared for to survive. By doing so, we protect not just the linguistic structures or vocabularies we use, but the culture, knowledge and power behind them.8．Why does the author mention “Americanism” and “the Thai language” in Paragraph 2?A．To tell the cultural differences between them.B．To indicate a language is a guide to a culture.C．To stress American expressions are informal.D．To reveal a language is associated with status.9．How will English speakers’ react to an accident?A．They will seek blame.B．They will punish others.C．They will avoid responsibility.D．They will draw a lesson from it. 10．What does Julien Leyre think about bilinguals?A．They enjoy a more colorful life.B．They can remain mentally healthy.C．They find it easier to learn a language.D．They can gain insight into others’ minds. 11．Which one can be the best title for the text?A．How do languages differ?B．Will your language be extinct?C．Why does our mother tongue matter?D．Should we speak a second language?Look around on your next plane trip. The iPad is the new pacifier (安抚奶嘴）for babies and toddlers.School-aged children read stories on smartphones. Their parents read on Kindles or skim a long list of email and news feeds. An invisible, game-changing transformation links everyone in this picture:the neuronal circuit(神经元回路）that underlies(成为···的基础）the brain's ability to read is rapidly changing.Our important “deep reading" processes may be under threat as we move further into the new digital-based ways ofreading.We know from research that the reading circuit is not given to human beings through a genetic blueprint like' it is with vision or language; it needs an environment to develop. Further,it will adapt to that environment's requirements. If the environment advantages the reading processes that are fast, multi-task oriented(以···为方向的）and well-suited for large amounts of information,like the current digital-based reading, so will the reading circuit. As a result, less attention and time will be allocated to slower,time-demanding deep reading processes.Increasing reports from educators and researchers in psychology and the humanities bear this out. English literature scholar and teacher Mark Edmundson describes how many college students actively avoid the classic literature of the 19th and 20th centuries because they no longer have the patience to read longer, denser, more difficult texts. We should be less concerned with students' "cognitive impatience", however than by what may underlie it: the potential inability of large numbers of students to read with a level of critical analysis enough to comprehend the complexity of thought and argument found in more demanding texts.Ziming Liu from San Jose State University has conducted a series of studies which indicate that the “new norm" in reading is skimming. Many readers now use an F or Z pattern when reading in which they sample the first line and then word-spot through the rest of the text. When the reading brain skims like this, it doesn't have time to grasp complexity, to understand others' feelings, to be aware of beauty, and to create thoughts of the reader's own.Karin Littau and Andrew Piper have noted another aspect: physicality. They stress that the sense of touch in print reading adds an important part to information - a kind of“geometry(几何结构）”to words, and a kind of spatial "'thereness" for text. As Piper notes, human beings need a knowledge of where they are in time and space that allows them to return to things and learn from re-examination-what he calls the “technology of recurrence (再现）＂.The importance of recurrence for both young and older readers involves the ability to go back,to check and evaluate one's understanding of a text. The question, then, is what happens to comprehension when our youth skim on a screen whose lack of spatial thereness discourages “looking back".12．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．What affects people's neuronal circuits.B．Why deep reading is important to people.C．Why people now prefer digital reading.D．What will happen to our brain when we read.13．What does the author want to stress about the college students?A．Their lack of attentiveness.B．Their lack of reading techniques.C．Their inability to understand the complexity.D．Their ignorance of various forms of literature.14．According to Paragraph 4,the F or Z patternA．affects the way people skimB．encourages people to read moreC．becomes popular among the youthD．limits people's thinking development15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Reading physical books helps us comprehend a text better.B．Techniques should be suited for different reading materials.C．A reading space can help us be more attentive.D．It is important to use all senses to learn.The Spotlight EffectHave you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake? Well, here’s some good news: it’s likely that no one even noticed.16 We have this experience not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class. 17 In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. 18The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want tobe liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people. 19 If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. 20 If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self-conscious.A．However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.B．That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.C．Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself.D．The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do.E．What you can do at this moment is to ignore them.F．We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.G．It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed.二、完形填空A Virginia third-grader has won two national awards for her exceptional skill innamed a winner in the contest’s print category.Tracy Cox, Anaya’s teacher, said Anaya is a role 29 to other students. “Anaya does not let anything stand in her 30 of reaching her goals,” said Cox. “She is determined and independent.

It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients.Eco-friendly UmbrellaTraditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton(骨架) without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.Eco-friendly Moss (苔藓) CarpetIt is said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss.

Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Mary started bringing them food and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that she could do something to lift up peo ple’s spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside the state college, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperger syndrome(阿斯伯格综合征), but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we just start feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said. “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop(道具), and they’ll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Mary is graduating with degrees in English and Widlife Sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.4．What kind of change do squirrels bring to Mary?A．She is sicker than before. B．She is more interested in animals. C．She is more sociable than before. D．She is less willing to go to college. 5．How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats?A．By putting them in cages. B．By playing music to them.C．By attracting them with colorful food. D．By building a close relationship with them.6．Which words can best describe Mary?A．Patient and caring. B．Confident and strong.C．Sociable and healthy. D．Traditional and hard-working. 7．What can be the best title for the text?A．Mary’s experience in university.B．Making friends with wild animals C．The “Squirrel Girl” of Penn State University D．The bridge between Mary and squirrelsWhat are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the new age? There re diseases like AIDS and cancer. There’s climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the world’s growing population? Who’s going to solve all these terrible problems? Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But who’s going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change. It’s going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems. If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist? It doesn’t mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of amazing things that are actually interesting!Military scientists develop not only new weapons but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to catch criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrow’s scientists. Don’t think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking? You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing? Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order or improve their performance? You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world.Looking for something to do for the rest of your life? My advice? Take a long and hard look at science. It is interesting and ever.8．Many problems are mentioned in the first paragraph to .A．suggest they are impossible to be solvedB．introduce the causes of these problemsC．show the writer’s worry about the future worldD．show scientists play an important part in solving them9．What is needed to solve these problems? .A．Advanced weapons B．Enough energyC．New technologies D．A growing population10．Most people think the life of scientists is .A．amazing B．boringC．colorful D．unreal11．Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?A．Owing to military technologies, there has been no warsB．For those interested in cooking, food technologies may be a choiceC．Forensic scientists play an important part in dealing with crimesD．Most athletes can achieve greater achievement with the help of sports scientistsIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the mostcool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drive rs can’t even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all roadusers. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.12．According to the passage, trouble on the road are often caused by ____________. A．road conditions B．the speed of modern lifeC．the large number of car D．the behavior of the drivers13．In the writer’s opinion, ___________.A．drivers should show road politeness properlyB．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．unskillful drivers should be punishedD．drivers should avoid traffic jams14．The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means __________. A．politeness and impoliteness B．willingness to give in to each other’s wishesC．offering help to others as much as possible D．good manners and bad manners 15．What is the best title of the passage?A．Road Politeness B．Traffic ProblemsC．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad Driver二、七选五Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie(自拍). It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.16．Some selfies are extreme close-ups(特写镜头), and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends. 17．.There are also kinds of psychological (心理上的)actors driving people to take a selife and upload it to a social networking site. 18．. A quick and easy way to attract other’s attention is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies. 19．That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last butnot least, social media is about being social. If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so it be. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.Finally, there are t hings to be mindful of when you’re posting. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people. 20．So don’t post anything online, selife especially. A．There are lots of selfie styles.B．The rise of selfies has become universal.C．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selife activity.D．The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior.E.But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it.F.There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to doG.The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.三、完形填空Life is a series of choices and we can’t always foresee the consequences.

However, spending time with children is of extreme importance. Giving some time for children will play an important role in their development. Therefore, it is a must for parents to spend time with children. Here are some tips for parents which will help them spend time with their little suns.Having Dinner with ChildrenEven if you are not there at home for a whole day, you should make sure that you have dinner with your children. Moreover, you should make it a point that you are having dinner with your entire family. Also, you should avoid watching TV when you are having dinner with your family.Helping Child Complete HomeworkHelping your child complete homework will help you know how he/she is at studies. It is not that you have to spend hours regularly helping your child with homework. But, sometimes you can help your child solve some questions. In this way, you will get to spend time with your child as well as get to know about his or her studies.Fun ActivitiesDuring weekends you can indulge your child in fun activities like gardening, painting etc. However, do not force your child to do so. You can also spend some time in teaching your child finger painting, vegetable painting and craft work. You may even help your child complete his or her art and craft assignments. These activities will help you improve creativity of your child as well as the interaction between you and your child.29. The passage is mainly about_________.A. the importance of spending time with childrenB. the ways to spend time with childrenC. the reasons to spend time with childrenD. the activities children like to take part in30. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that parents should________.A. watch TV with their childrenB. stay at home a whole dayC. spend time with the whole familyD. avoid listening to some music31. The underlined word “indulge〞 in the last paragraph means_______.A. pushB. putC. askD. allow32. What can we learn from the passage?A. Spending time with children for parents is a must.B. Parents should spend time regularly with children’s homework.C. Helping children with homework will help improve their creativity.D. Parents should pick up their children regularly.DHow to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “This is my destiny(命运). I cannot change it.〞Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on other factors.I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best〞? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it’s helpful to your success), and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If someth ing goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary(暂时的) problem; Instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.33. According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life________.A. doesn’t need improvingB. couldn’t be improvedC. will be better some dayD. will be worse in the future34. What does the author think of the woman’s life?A. Positive.B. Passive.C. Disturbing.D. Colorful.35. The text is mainly written to advise you to _________.A. understand yourselfB. believe in yourselfC. improve your lifeD. change your normal way第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.We strongly demand that yo u pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.Yours sincerely【1】What does the writer feel?A．Excited B．Surprised C．Angry D．Happy【2】What does the word “deteriorated” mean?A．Changed B．Improved C．Moved D．Worsened【3】What is the main purpose of the letter?A．To ask Mr. Barton to leave the building for the peace.B．To inform Mr. Barton of the noise he made.C．To talk about what Mr. Barton did.D．To give a warning to Mr. Barton.【4】Why were the police called?A．Because Mr. Barton broke two windows.B．Because Mr. Barton made too much noise.C．Because Mr. Barton’s friends fought.D．Because Mr. Barton beat a child and an old man.【5】Which is true according to the letter?A．Mr. Barton paid no attention to the others’ unhappiness.B．Mr. Barton replied to the others’ unhappinessC．Mr. Barton always said sorry to those unhappy with him.D．Mr. Barton never apologized to the other residents.2.It doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers.

I stood up to look around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a warm smile. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.I'm eighty-seven years old.”"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked. She replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids and then retire(退休) and travel..."I knew she was joking. I was curious what might have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I was always interested in listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.“Have no regrets.

A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer actively, saying it should be fought in the wayHIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis (肺结核) and malaria (疟疾) combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the writers of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A．Cancer – a leading cause of death in poor countriesB．What should we do in preventing and treating cancer?C．What makes the first killer in developing countries?D．Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer.【2】Felicia Knaul’s ex perience in Mexico shows that .A．many Mexican women suffer from breast cancerB．there is not enough medicine for cancer thereC．many Mexican women can’t afford medical careD．patients with breast cancer are treated differently【3】From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that .A．breast cancer is a great threat to young womenB．people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancerC．breast cancer is the second killer among women in MexicoD．patients can be treated effectively in developing countries【4】Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?A．The cancer patients.B．The health experts.C．Community health workers.D．Young women.【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The number of cancer cases is decreasing.B．HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.C．Over 7.5 million people die of cancer every year.D．It is very expensive to treat cancer.四、其他[1] The key word is practice! Practice, practice, practice!! There is no other way. There is no magic. The way to get better at listening to English is to listen to English. That’s the not-so-good news.[2] The good news is there are many ways to listen and many things to listen to.[3] Listening to English songs can be fun. But be careful! Most ________ use the language in a special way that you don’t hear every day. You don’t want to start speaking English like a poet or songwriter. If you do listen to English songs, listen to different ones. This will help you train your ears to different voices, pronunciations and rhythms.[4] If you can, get a copy of the lyrics(歌词) so you can read them and listen to them at the same time. It is sometimes better to listen with your eyes as well as your ears—more information to help the brain.[5] Watch English DVDs. But, this time, do not use your eyes to read the subtitles (字幕). Turn off the subtitles, because movies have so many other clues about what is happening that it is better not to use the subtitles. Thisforces your ears to do the work.[6] Choose one character (人物) that interests you and pay attention to what they say and how they say it. If you can, repeat a line out loud after they have said it. Teach yourself one or more sayings, phrases or ways of talking that you will use after watching the movie.[7] A new and growing resource of English language for listening can be found in blogs. Blogs are in MP3 format and can be loaded first onto your computer and then onto your MP3 player for very convenient take-with-you listening.[8] You can find many English listening practices are fun, new, educational and in unending supply.【1】What is the main idea of the passage?

AHow to become a conservation officer: Jade's storyPart1 : J ade’s storyHi, I'm Jade. I'm 20 years old and I'm an apprentice conservation officer. Conservation is protecting the natural environment and trying to make it thrive and flourish as much as possible. My job really is to try and get as many people engaged in nature as possible and doing an apprenticeship like this, which is so diverse, really means that I can try every different area of this job out and see which fits me the best. And it means that I also get paid at the same time. I've always been a massive animal lover. I love being so close to them and observing the behaviours and I love the enthusiasm.This job has helped me vastly from day-to-day stress and anxiety, to just general happiness, I'm in such a better place because of it. I'm working with so many amazing supportive people and I really couldn’t be happier right now!Part 2: What to expect if you want to be a conservation officerWhen Jade finishes her apprenticeship, she will be a conservation officer. A role similar to Jade's is a countryside officer.●Countryside officer salary: ￡18,000 to ￡50,000 per year●Countryside officer working hours: 39 to 41 hours per week●Typical entry requirements: To do an advanced apprenticeship in environmentalconservation like Jade’s, you'll usually need 5 General Certificates of Secondary Education or equivalent at grades 9 to 4 (A* to C), including English and Maths.Paid or unpaid work experience can be very useful when applying for jobs.Organisations like the Conservation Volunteers, the National Trust and the WildlifeTrusts offer training for volunteers.1.In what ways does the job help Jade?A.By providing her with one-on-one training.B.By improving her confidence in protecting nature.C.By helping her relieve the pressure and stress.D.By training her in finding different types of jobs.2.Why does the text mention the countryside officer salary?A.Because it can attach importance to the job.B.Because it can call on people to apply for the job.C.Because it can show the popularity of the job.D.Because it can remind people to protect nature.3.How can you become a conservation officer?A.Grade 9 to 4 (A* to C) in English or Maths.B.Have paid or unpaid work experience.C.Get 5 General Certificates of Secondary Education.D.Volunteer in organisations like the Wildlife Trusts.BIt's 1944, in occupied Paris. Four friends spend their days in an arrow room atop a Left Bank apartment building. The neighbors think they’re painters- a cover story to explain the chemical smell. In fact, the friends are members of a Jewish resistance cell. They’re operating a secret laboratory to make false passports for children and families about to be deported to concentration camps (集中营). The youngest member of the group, the lab’s technical director, is practically a child himself. Adolfo Kaminsky, age 18.In the summer of 1943, he and his family were arrested and sent to Drancy, the internment camp for Jews near Paris that was the last stop before the death camps. This time, their passports saved them. Argentina's government protested the family's detention, so they stayed at Drancy for three months, while thousands of others were swiftly sent on to die. The Kaminskys were eventually freed, but they weren't safe in Paris, where Jews were under constant threat of arrest.To survive they would have to go underground. Kaminsky's father arranged to get false papers from a Jewish resistance group, and sent Kaminsky to pick them up. Whenthe agent told Kaminsky that they were struggling to erase a certain blue ink from the documents, he advised using lactic acid, a trick he'd learned at the dairy. It worked, and he was invited to join the resistance. Kaminsky's cell was one of many. Historians estimated that France's Jewish resistance networks together saved 7,000 to 10,000 children.Kaminsky never took a penny form forging. He thought the money would ruin his belief. He made a living by taking some commercial photos. To this day, 94-year-old Kaminsky feels guilty he survived the Holocaust, in despite of the fact that his remarkable work as a forger during World War II saved the lives of thousands of Jews. "I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths- I just can’t. All humans are equal, whatever their origins, their beliefs, their skin color."4.What is the main duty of the Jewish resistance cell?A.To provide an apartment building for painters .B.To protect Jewish people from being killed.C.To make fake identities for all families.D.To train students to operate laboratories.5.What happened to Kaminsky in 1943?A. He was sent to a concentration camp.B. He moved to live in Argentina.C. He was swiftly sent on to die.D. He protested his family's detention6.Which of the following words can best describe Kaminsky ?A. Enthusiastic and gentle.B. Expressive and humble.C. Disciplined and modest.D. Courageous and helpful.7.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Don’t raise the white flag quite yet.B.You want to get rough, we can get rough.C.There is always a bit of light even in the darkness.D.No-one hits the bull’s-eye with the first arrow.COn January 27th, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance Wa（r 抗击新型肺炎战），the Ministry of Education issued a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17th. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. It they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learnt before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.8.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because .A.children may be infected by virusB.they don’t like the idea of online learningC.children’s study may be affectedD.parents have no time to look after children9.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A.To keep playing online games.B.To keep touching different people.C.To do some physical exercise outside.D.To teach children about health knowledge.10.The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.planB. stopC. growthD. change11.What’s the best title for this passage?A.ASpecial Way to Learn at HomeB.ANew War with a New ChangeC.AWay to Keep Mentally HealthyD.AMethod to Make Parents UnworriedDMoney might not grow on trees, but it seems that furniture does! Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture.He first came up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed-up driftwood on the side. After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5 acre “furniture forest” of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps.A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but there’s nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest.After harvesting, each piece is planned( 刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. “It’s an art form in itself, keeping track of everything,” Munro said.The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. They are grown and grafted(嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, “These pieces of furniture could last for centuries.”Quality isn’t an issue with forest-grown furniture, but maintenance and scalability(可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.12.The first paragraph mainly serves as .A. commentB. praiseC. introductionD. background13.Gavin Munro thought of growing furniture .A. while serving as a gardenerB. while relaxing at homeC. w hile studying in CaliforniaD. when he grow up14.What plays a key role in growing furniture?A. Rich imagination.B. Perfect d esign.C. Large irrigation.D. Hard work.15.The passage is probably taken from .A. an essayB. a reportC. a novelD. a diary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。
