I had oneline at the end when I beat the sleeping rabbit: The slow and steady one wins the race. I've always felt that those words guide my work. 1 am never the fastest but I keep going.My goal is always the same: to learn more this year than what I learned last year.The goal of education is not to have much knowledge as quickly as possible, but to have useful knowledge and keep it in the brain. 1 don't care how”fast" s tudents learn something as a teacher. There may be a lot of reasons someone picks up a subject or topic more quickly: more background, knowing the material early, more sleep that night, less stress, and so on. We deal with information differently. When I see slow students, that's what I think of: Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime ，and leave the”quick" students far behind?I was slow in my math classes in university. Looking back on those days, I've come to realize that one of the ways I learn is " mistake based" . That means I learn by making mistakes. This may be slower than other ways of leaning, but when I learn something, I really learn it.I seldom worried about " slow learners" when teaching medical students. I knew these young men and women could learn. There is a lot of material to learn in medicine ，but there is also lots of time. Like in so many other jobs, knowledge is only a part of being a doctor. I spent decades l earning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. It never stops, and never should.24.What does the author believe in terms of work?A. Always finish what you have started.B. Having a goal in mind can get you far.C .Every steady step bring you progress.D. More knowledge means more chances.25.Which kind of students may the author like?A. A playful bust talented student.B. A careless but fast student.C A stupid but well-behaved student.D. A slow but thoughtful student.26. What does the author think of the mistake-based leaning way?A Perfect. B. Welcome. C. Practical D. Common.27.In the author's opinion, what can make a good doctor?A. High intelligence.B. Continuous improvement.C The ability to lean fast.D. Rich professional knowledge.CThe race to 5G is on. All four major US carriers now have some form of 5G wireless，although it's all limited roll-outs in only a few cities, mostly using expensive phones that won't support future nationwide 5G networks. We're tracking the roll-outs monthly on our Race to 5G page.The early 5G roll-outs are more like a public test than a final product. AT&T,Verizon, and T-Mobile are all using technological that only travel about 800 feet from a cell site, which means there isn't much coverage. All four carriers are waiting for upgrades(升级) to their base stations that will improve coverage, speed, and reliability. Around the end of this year or the beginning of 2020，AT&T, Verion, and T-Mobile all intend to launch 5G networks that use the existing 4G spectrum(频谱)，which will have slower speeds but broader coverage.We've tested AT&T in Dallas and Las Vegas; Sprint in Dallas and New York; Verizon in Chicago, New York, and Providence; and T-Mobile in New York. Every month, we've been seeing better performance and more new devices, It's messy. It's very early days, And if you like new technology, it's very exciting.In previous mobile transformations, we've seen most of the big changes happening years after the first announcement.Take 4G，for instance. The first 4G phones in the US appeared in 2010. But the sorts of 4G applications that changed our world didn't appear until later. So following that plan, while we're getting a little bit of5G right now, you should expect the big 5G applications to crop up around 2021 or 2022.5G stands for fifth-generation cellular(蜂窝状的)wireless, and the initial standards of it were set at the end of 2017.But a set of standards doesn't mean that all 5G will work the same一or that we even know what applications 5G will enable. There will be slow but responsive 5G, and fast 5G with limited coverage.28. What is the present state of 5C in the US?A. Initial exploration.B. Great improvement.C. Wide application.D. Extensive promotion.29. Why does the author take 4G for example?A. To persuade carriers to give up 5C.B. To remind people of 4G's importance.C. To prove 5G takes time to make a greater difference.D. To show 5G has failed to meet expectations.30. What's the author's attitude to 5G?A. Cautious.B. Skeptical.C. Concerned.D. Objective.31. What's the best title for the text?A. Race to 5GB.5G is comingC. How fast is 5G?D. What is 5G?DExperts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease. Poor diet, having too much body fat and a lack of physical exercise all increase your risk of heart disease. S o doctors urge us to eat healthy foods and get exercise. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!A study led by Anand Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia shows when we smile, the brain will change andthe chemicals that are given off are more positive.The main cause of heart attacks is blockages in blood vessels (血管). These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. The most common reason for these blockages is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries (动脉)。

invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth，England，to NorthAmerica-and their Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic-wrappedsnacks，their plastic waste would likely still be around four centuries later．Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits．And those bits might still be floating around the world's oceans today，waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster，and finally perhaps by one of us．Because plastic wasn't invented until the late 19th century，and its production only really took off around 1950，we have a mere 9．2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with．Of that，more than 6．9 billion tons have become waste．And of that waste，a surprising 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin-the figure that shocked the scientists whopublished the numbers in 2017．No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean，the earth's last sink．In 2015，Jenna Jambeck，a University of Georgia engineering professor，caught everyone's attention with a rough estimate：between 5．3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions．Meanwhile，ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine （海洋的）animals every year．Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it．Some are harmed visibly，stuck by abandoned things made of plastic．Many more are probably harmed invisibly．Marine species of all sizes，from zooplankton to whales，now eat microplastics，the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across．"This isn't a problem where we don't know what the solution is，" says Ted Siegler， a Vermont resource economist who has spent more than 25 years working with developing nations on garbage．"We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to deal with it．We know how to recycle．" It's a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems，he says，ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic．Why does the author mention the Pilgrims in paragraph 1？______A．To prove plastic was difficult to invent．B．To introduce what marine animals like eating．C．To tell the Pilgrims contributed a lot to the marine protection．D．To show plastic waste has a lasting effect on the ocean．What's the main trouble marine animals face according to the text？______A．Lacking protection．B．Being stuck by plastics．C．Being caught by humans．D．Treating plastics as food．What does Ted Siegler want to tell us in the last paragraph？______A．Some people don't know the solution of plastics waste．B．Plastics will turn the ocean into a soup of plastic．C．It's time to take measures to deal with plastic waste．D．People should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean．From which is the text probably taken？______A． A biology textbook．B． A travel brochure．C．An environmental report．D． A lifestyle magazine．30. A study found wireless signals are able to pass through bags and suitcases to judge thesizes of dangerous metal objects and identify them．"These items could includeweapons，chemicals，laptops and batteries for bombs，'' the research team said on Tuesday．Research suggested that Wi-Fi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water，acid，alcohol and other chemicals for explosive material．The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory （WINLAB）in the School of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas （天线）that could be fitted in existing Wi-Fi networks．The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through andbounce off objects or materials．The approach，which the paper states，works by separating the wireless interference （干扰）caused by two factors of objects-the material and shape．"Most dangerous objects such as weapons are usually metal or liquid，which have significant interference，" researchers said．When it was tested on a backpack，the accuracy rate topped 95 percent．"But theaccuracy dropped to about 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped．And the tech could save lives if used in museums，stadiums，theme parks or schools，" the team said，noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy．It uses channel state information （CSI）that is readily available in low-cost Wi-Fidevices．"This could have a great impact on protecting the public from dangerousobjects，" said Yingying Chen， a co-author of the study，"There's a growing need for that now．In large public areas，it's hard to set up expensive screening equipment like what's in airports．Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower．''The peer-reviewed study，which recently won a best paper award at the 2018 IEEEConference on Communications and Network Security，is now publishedonline．"Future work will continue to focus on ameliorating the accuracy of identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes，'' researchers said．What does paragraph 3 talk about？______A．The function of the technique．B．The way the device works．C．The principle the study is based on．D．The benefit of the study findings．What's the advantage of the device？______A．It saves people in danger of natural disasters．B．It passes through bags without damaging them．C．It uses antennas to pick up networks' signals．D．It protects personal information from being disturbed．Why did the researchers study the device according to Yingying Chen？______A．To save money and labour．B．To make full use of Wi-Fi．C．To protect passengers' privacy．D．To research dangerous objects．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "ameliorating" in the last paragraph？______A．Confirming．B．Improving．C．Discovering．D．Examining．五、短文改错（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）31.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文．文中共有 10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处．每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改．增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（ A

If you're skilled at short stories and want to join us, pay attention to the following.Submission Periods: Jan. 15th--May 31st / Sept. Ist--Nov. 14thWhat Kinds of Stories Is One Story Looking for?One Story is seeking literary fiction. Because of our format, we can only accept stories betwen 3.000 and 8,000 words. They can be in any style and on any subject as long as they are good. More importantly, we are looking for stories that leave readers feeling satified.Does One Story Accept Published Material?No. One Story is looking for peviously unpublished material. However, if a story has been published in print outside of North America, it will be considered. Stories previously published online on blogs, personal website,or online literary magazines will not be accepted.Does One Story Consider Translations?Yes. Please include the name of the original author and language, as well as the name of the translator on the first page of your submission.How Do I Submit to One Story?We have an automated system for you to send us your work. It will securely send our editors your story and email you a confirmation that it has been received. To use the automated system, you need to have a One Story account.You already have one if you have subscribed to One Story or One Teen Story, joined our mailing list, or submitted a story to either magazine.

Include your creative inspiration.B. Register an acount beforehand.C. Write a short recommendation for it.D. Attach your pivate information to it.23. What type of writing is this text?A. A story review.B. A press advertisement.C. A submission guide.D. A magazine introduction.BWhen he tells people that he is deaf, Oliver Stabbe is called a liar. "The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption," the sophomore(大二学生) said.Stabbe's experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face---things commonly found right in Rochester. This city is home to 90, 000 deaf people, a significant slice of the more than 1.1 million nationalpopulation. The percentage of deaf people here is higher than the national average, due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf, the first technological college in the world created specifcally for the deaf and hard of hearing." Really, there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people," said sophomore Stephen Davis,another deaf student. This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly offending someone. "I guess they think saying ‘ deaf’is offensive, but it really isn't and deaf people don't get upset about it," Davis said. He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.Deaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations( 令人心烦的事) on their end when interacting with others." Sometimes people talk about you, maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me, as if I'm not there," Davis said. " That's depressing.”As Davis put it,”We don't see ourselves as the disabled, so the awkwardness is only one -sided.”Stabbe advised that those communicating should not make assumptions about others' preferences or ability. If you have a question, ask. A moment of awkwardness is absolutely worth it if you are being educated about an important topic.24. Why are there more deaf people in Rochester?A. Deaf people have some privileges here.B. Deaf people may get better job opportunities here.C. Deaf people meet fewer struggles here.D. A professional school for the deaf appeals to them.25. What may embarrass people when communicating with the deaf according to Davis?A. They are afraid of upsetting the deaf.B. They are unwilling to communicate.C. They don't know any simple gestures.D. They don't challenge enough assumptions.26. What kind of person is Stephen Davis?A. Sensitive and talkative.B. Reasonable and reliable.C. Outspoken and aggressive.D. Confident and intelligent.27. What can be the best tile of the text?A. We can hear your heartB. "Deaf" is not a bad wordC. Deaf people are not liarsD. Embarrassment is one-sidedCFor many of us, summer time means road trips to the beach or mountains, or at the very least some additional dust on the outside of our vehicle. The extra dirt leads us to do one of two things: wash our car in the driveway or head to the car wash. But which choice is better for the environment?The main concerns with either choice are the amount of fresh water used and the types of chemicals used to get rid of the dirt. Both of these concerns can be closely monitored when washing the car at home, says Katy Gresh, spokeswoman for the Southwest Region of the PennsyIvania Department of Environmental Protection. Sheadvises car owners to keep a set amount of water in a container for the entire wash.”You don't want to leave the water running or use more than you need for the job," she says. But even following this piece of advice comes with an environmental risk: Washing your car in the driveway gets the dirty water into drains(下水道).”Drains are not made for treating waste," says John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather. Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash their car, Schombert says they are probably ineffective in breaking down prase (油脂) anyway.The commercial car wash knows full well the rules regarding wastewater in drains. According to the International Carwash Association( ICA)，professional car washes must use special water treatment systems. These proceses not only keep the dirty water out of drains and regular water treatment systems, but also work to reduce water usage at commerial facilities.As experts point out, cleaning our car at home can use 100 gallons of water. Compare that to self-service car washes,which allow you to use only about 17 or 18 gallons of water. And most full-service car washes average about 30 to 45 gallons of water per vehicle.28. What does Katy suggest people do about washing cars?A. Use soft toothbrushes.B. Save treated water.C. Put aside some water.D. Avoid using chemicals.29. What is Schombert's atitude to washing cars at home?A. Disapproving.B. Favorable.C. Suspicious.D. Objective.30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. Rules of handling wastewater.B. Advantages of professional car washes.C. Processes of getting rid of dirty water.D. Drawbacks of water treatment systems.31. Which method of car washing consumes the least water?A. The full-service car washes.B. Car washing in the driveway.C. The self-service car washes.D. Car washing using natural soaps.DIn a world where nearly 6 million fingerprint records of government employees are stolen in one computer hack(非法人侵)，and here millions of people are victims of identity theft every year, the next step in cybersecurity may well be mapping your brain.Researchers at Binghamton University,State University of New York are working on a biometric(生物特征识别的)system that records how your brain reacts to certain images. With a little more polishing, the scientists' brainchild could become the way you get into a safe deposit box, your office or past scanners at the airport. It could replace the password for your online banking, your email or your social media accounts.They started their project by measuring the brain waves of 30 subjeets.The subjects were fitted with a cap that had 30 electrodes( 电极) attached to it, and then shown various images and symbols--celebrity faces, words, pictures of food -on acomputer screen in 20- millisecond bursts. The brain's reaction was recorded.The idea is that every time a person needs to use a”password"，he or she goes through the sane procedure，and the results are matched with their first time reaction. If the " braiprint" is compromised 一like what happened with the fingerprint records 一then the system is merely reset by running another set of images and collecting a different set of brain waves. "Even if that was stolen, you could just cancel it and record one to something else"，says professr Laszlo.Laszlo and her team have shown that their system can be 100 percent accurate. So one of the more difficult parts of making the system practical already has been overcome. Now they’re spending much time recording accurate brainprints with as few as three electrodes,which could make recording in the future as easy as wearing a pair of special glasses.They’re also working with cheaper material and methods to see if they can bring the cost down.32. What does the underlined word "brainchild" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The brain function.B. The fingerprint record.C. The biometric system.D. The online password.33. Why were the images and symbols shown to the subjets?A. To create their brainprints,B. To check the brain's reaction.C. To match brainprints with pictures.D. To connect brain waves to electrodes.34. What will happen when a brainprint fails?A. A spare one will be ready beforehand.B.A new one will be set again.C. The users' security will be leaked:D. The fingerprint record will replace it.35. What are the researchers doing with the program now?A. Making it user-friendly.B. Improving its accurancy.C. Recording more brainprints.D. Increasing the number of electrodes.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人空白处的最佳选项。

Travelers in the zoo．2.Rewards will be paid if ______ ．A. the kids fulfil your created missionsB. your kids get enough locked medalsC. you keep the account balancedD. you approve the request via Kidz APP3.Which of the following animals is related to spending？______A. Rhino．B. Leopard．C. Lion．D. Buffalo．BWhile staring out of the window during a flight，not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplaneshave rounded windows rather than square ones．Over the years，aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology，meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster．The planes have also changed shape to increase safety-including the windows．As commercial air travel took off in the mid-20th century，airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost-the air density（密度）is lower up there，creating less drag（阻力）for airplanes．However，higher altitudes came with problems，like the fact human beings can't really survive at 30，000 feet．T o make that possible，the cabin was changed to a cylindrical（圆柱体）shape to support the pressure inside．But at first，plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster．The deHavillandComet came into fashion in the 1950s．With a closed cabin，it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft．However，where there's a corner，there's a weak spot．Windows，having four corners，have four potential weak spots，making them likely to crash under stress-such as air pressure．By curving the window，the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced．Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation（变形），and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft．Fortunately，designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick．Now we have nice，rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude．It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook，doesn't it？4.Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes？______A. To increase safety of the plane．B. To help the plane to take off．C. To save money for less drag．D. To carry more passengers and go faster．5.What does the underlined words "de Havilland Comet" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. A planet．B. A band．C. An aircraft．D. A design．6.Which is the advantage of the rounded window？______A. It reduces the possibility of breaking up．B. It weakens the strength of air pressure．C. It increases the air pressure．D. It helps to survive the extreme weather．7.Where does this text come from？______A. A newspaper on safe driving．B. A magazine on fashion design．C. A website on survival skills．D. A science book on flying．CThe hemlock（铁杉）trees along the Wappinger Creek，New York，look healthy．However，scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect．It's hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree．However，trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests．When there are that many，it ends up killing the tree．The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA．The trouble-making bug is just one of many invasive（入侵的）pests that have slipped into the United States．They canhurt other living things in their new home．Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers．They support and separate goods，and keep them from sliding around．Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets．How can we stop pests from riding on pallets？Lovett says new rules are needed．The companies that make pallets don't want more rules．Congress has added an amendment（修正案）in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem．However，Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference．Pallets are checked by inspectors．Many are sprayed with bug-killing pesticide．"I believe in the system，" said Brent McClendon，president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association．He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully．Still，each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U．S．Each is full of wooden pallets ．Lovett says："Inspectors can't possibly check everything．All it takes are a few bad pallets ；we should get rid of wooden pallets．" He believes pallets should be made of plastic or eco-composite wood．Eco-composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic．Insects cannot hide into it．One problem is that these choices cost more．They may be worth the extra money，though．Invasive pests cost the U．S．﹩5 billion a year．Trees don't just die in forests．They also die in cities and our yards．Then，they need to be replaced．That costs money，too．8.All the statements are TRUE except that ______ ．A. pesticide has been applied to bug-killingB. invasive pests are native to Wappinger CreekC. invasive pests hide in pallets used in shippingD. the companies making pallets don't want more rules9.What can we infer from the passage？______A.

Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA．B. Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion．C. Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests．D. Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods．DHave you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard，maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game，when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet？There is an old phrase "calm before the storm"，often used in a situation-a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement．According to our own experience，we know there is actually calm before the storm．But what causes this calm？And is it always calm before the storm？Let's hear what scientists have to say．A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm，the simplest kind of storm-asingle-cell thunderstorm．In this type of thunderstorm，there is usually only one main updraft，which is warm，damp airand drawn from places near the ground．Storms need warm and damp air as fuel，so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment．Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions-even from the direction in which the storm is traveling．As the warm，damp air is pulled into a storm system，it leaves a low-pressure vacuum（真空）coming after．The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds，thus the temperature of the warm，damp air drops，and the water vapour（水蒸汽）in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain．These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust，until they grow large enough to form raindrops．This warm，damp air keeps moving upwards，but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud．When it reaches the top of the cloud，the air gets spit out（被挤出）at the top．This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds．From there，the air goes down．Warm and dry air is relatively stable，and once it covers a region，that air，in turn ，causes the calm before a storm．Most thunderstorms，though，don't start with calm．That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns．There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens．Instead，before the storm，it might be really windy!12.Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm？______A. A thunderstorm with a single shape．B. A thunderstorm without strong winds．C. A storm with air drawn from every direction．D. A storm fueled by moving air from the ground．13.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. Cold and dry air．B. Warm and dry air．C. Cold and damp air．D. Warm and damp air．14.Which does the writer most likely agree to？______A. Presence of the calm relies on stable air．B. Not all thunderstorms start with the calm．C. The drier the air is，the bigger the storm will be．D. Storm happens without air moving up and down．15.What is the passage mainly about？______A. Causes and effects of a heavy storm．B. A brief description of a peaceful storm．C. A personal experience of a heavy storm．D. An explanation of the calm before a storm．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention．Advertisers，politicians and other groups all try to get us to agree with them．(1) ．Propaganda is not always a bad thing ，but it often hides the truth about a topic．It's very similar to advertising，whose goal is to get people to buy something，while propaganda is to change what people believe．Propaganda TechniquesTo create propaganda，a common technique is name-calling．A politician might call someone a traitor or liar，which makes the other person look bad．Another is the trend technique．People want to be on the side in the favor．(2) ．Some propaganda is based on fear．It scares peopleinto choosing a certain side or taking action，which might not be bad ．Anti-smoking campaigns are one example．They may scare people into thinking that if they smoke，they will get cancer．(3) Propaganda is used by many groups，such as businesses，politicians and thegovernment．It is spread through posters，television and radio．The Internet makes it easy to send messages to the whole world．Types of PropagandaPolitical propaganda has been around as long as there have been politicians．(4) ．People have used it for many years．War propaganda began during World War I，more than 100 years ago．To see if propaganda is saying the truth，people need to do extra work．For example，ads might always sound like they're true．But before you believe them，try to think about who created and paid for them．Find out why they did it．(5) ．A．Propaganda TargetsB．Propaganda MediumsC．Another word for this is propagandaD．So most people will agree with those politiciansE．Then，you can decide if they're being honest or notF．However，religious propaganda was actually the first official oneG．People might join someone who claims to be popular or winning16.

I had one line at the end when I beat the sleeping rabbit:The slow and steady one wins the race.I've always felt that those words guide my work.1am never the fastest but I keep going.My goal is always the same: to learn more this year than what I learned last year.The goal of education is not to have much knowledge as quickly as possible,but to have useful knowledge and keep it in the brain.1 don't care how”fast"students learn something as a teacher.There may be a lot of reasons someone picks up a subject or topic more quickly: more background, knowing the material early, more sleep that night,less stress, and so on. We deal with information differently. When Isee slow students, that's what I think of: Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime，and leave the”quick"students far behind?I was slow in my math classes in university.Looking back on those days,I've come to realize that one of the ways I learn is " mistake based" . That means I learn bymaking mistakes. This may be slower than other ways of leaning, but when I learn something, I really learn it.I seldom worried about " slow learners" when teaching medical students. I knewthese young men and women could learn.There is a lot of material to learn in medicine，but there is also lots of time. Like in so many other jobs, knowledge isonly a part of being a doctor. I spent decades learning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. It never stops,and never should.24.What does the author believe in terms of work?A.Always finish what you have started.B.Having a goal in mind can get you far.A.Every steady step bring you progress.A.More knowledge means more chances.25.Which kind of students may the author like?A.A playful bust talented student.B.A careless but fast student.C A stupid but well-behaved student.D. A slow but thoughtful student.26. What does the author think of the mistake-based leaning way?A Perfect. B.Welcome. C. Practical D. Common.27.In the author's opinion, what can make a good doctor?A.High intelligence.B.Continuous improvement.C The ability to lean fast.D. Rich professional knowledge.CThe race to 5G is on. All four major US carriers now have some form of 5G wireless，although it's all limited roll-outs in only a few cities, mostly using expensive phones that won't support future nationwide5G networks. We're tracking the roll-outs monthly on our Race to5G page.The early5G roll -outs are more like a public test than a final product. AT&T,Verizon, and T-Mobile are all using technological that only travel about800feet froma cell site, which means there isn't much coverage.All four carriers are waiting for upgrades(升级) to their base stations that will improve coverage,speed, and reliability. Around the end of this year or the beginning of 2020，AT&T,Verion,and T-Mobile all频谱)，which will intend to launch5G networks that use the existing4Gspectrum( have slower speeds but broader coverage.We've tested AT&T in Dallas and Las Vegas; Sprint in Dallas and New York; Verizon in Chicago,New York, and Providence;and T-Mobile in New York. Every month,we've been seeing better performance and more new devices,It's messy. It's very early days, And if you like new technology,it's very exciting.In previous mobile transformations, we've seen most of the big changes happening years after the first announcement.Take 4G，for instance.The first 4G phones in the US appeared in 2010. But the sorts of4G applications that changed our world didn't appear until later. So following that plan,while we're getting a little bit of 5G right now,you should expect the big 5G applications to crop up around2021or 2022.5G stands for fifth-generation cellular(蜂窝状的)wireless,and the initial standards of it were set at the end of 2017.But a set of standards doesn't mean that all 5G will work the same一or that we even know what applications5G will enable. There will be slow but responsive5G, and fast5G with limited coverage.28. What is the present state of 5C in the US?A. Initial exploration.B. Great improvement.C. Wide application.D. Extensive promotion.29. Why does the author take4G for example?A.To persuade carriers to give up5C.B.To remind people of4G's importance.C.To prove5G takes time to make a greater difference.D.To show 5G has failed to meet expectations.30. What's the author's attitude to5G?A. Cautious.B.Skeptical.C.Concerned.D.Objective.31. What's the best title for the text?A. Race to 5GB.5G is comingC. How fast is5G?D. What is 5G?DDxperts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease. Poor diet, having too much body fat and a lack of physical exercise all increase yourrisk of heart disease.So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods and get exercise.But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy.Smile!A study led by Anand Chockalingam,a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia shows when we smile,the brain will change andthe chemicals that are given off are more positive.The main cause of heart attacks is blockages in blood vessels (血管).

2020届许昌市高级中学高三英语模拟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AOver the years, I’ve been guilty of hastily shutting the front door to many strangers when they came knocking with the intention of selling things. But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine had an experience that changed my mind and perception towards these “intruders”.Linda, who recently moved to a new neighbour hood, had been housebound all week suffering from a severe case of flu when, early one morning, there was the terrible knock on her front door. Peering out the window, she saw two young ladies demurely (端庄地) holding leaflets and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today,” she muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in any TV whatsoever. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwell and abruptly shut the door. The ladies politely turned and left in silence.A few hours later, another knock. Linda glanced out the window and to her surprise, there were the same two ladies, back again. Really annoyed this time, she opened the door ready togive them a piece of her mind. Before she could speak, with concerned looks on their faces, these women handed Linda what looked to be a dish, saying, “We’re so sorry we disturbed you earlier. We thought you may like this homemade chicken soup. Hopefully it might make you feel a little better.”Linda was taken aback by this lovely gesture. Being new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbours or people who could assist her with shopping or errands (跑腿) so the gesture was all the more appreciated. She could only smile sheepishly and sincerely thanked them. With that, the ladies left.After she related this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed really was. Especially in today’s world where sadly, kindness and thoughtfulness seem so rare. I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is the real essence of love.1. What does the expression “give them a piece of her mind”in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Scold them severely.B. Drive them away.C. Refuse them directly.D. Speak out her idea.2. What can be learned about Linda from the passage?A. Linda always hastily shut the front door to many people.B. Linda was not a little interested in any TV whatsoever.C. Linda was very grateful to the ladies for their chicken soup.D. Linda would buy their TV set in reward for the ladies’ chicken soup.3. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Chicken SoupB. Soup for the soulC. The Real Essence of LoveD. A Friend’s experienceBPoaching and habitat loss have threatened Africa's two species of elephants, taking them closer toward the edge of disappearance, according to a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN).Before this update, Africa's elephants were grouped together and were evaluated as vulnerable by the IUCN. This is the first time the two species have been sorted separately. In the past, elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants. Forest and savanna elephants were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered. The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a 31 -year assessment period. The population of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60% over the last 50 years, according to the IUCN, which tracks the assessment risk of the world's animals. Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants, counting the two species together.Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching. Although it peaked in 2011, illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations. African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land isconvertedfor agriculture or other uses.There is some good conservation news, the IUCN points out. Anti-poaching measures, combined with better land use planning to support better human-wildlife relationships, have helped conservation efforts. Some forest elephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed areas in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing, particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in southern Africa.But with constant demand for ivory and increasing human pressures on Africa's wild lands, concern forAfrica's elephants is high, and the need to creatively conserve and wisely manage these animals and their habitats is more severe than ever.4. What can be inferred from the new report about African elephants?A. They are divided into three kinds.B. They are dying out.C. Their threat is mainly from poaching.D. Their population has grown in Africa.5. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?A. The detailed number of African elephants.B. The similarities of African elephants.C. The different types of African elephants.D. The present situation of African elephants.6. What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Expanded.B. Protected.C. Transformed.D. Forbidden.7. What's the authors attitude to the present situation of African elephants?A. Hopeless.B. Optimistic.C. Uncertain.D. Worried.CAnOntarioteen is making waves by turning old fishing gear into new treasures. Since last year, Natalie, 15, hasbeen taking lost or thrown — away fishing nets and rope and transforming them into bracelets, rope art, mats, baskets and necklaces.Last year, Natalie was working on an assignment for her science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) class. As part of the assignment, she learned about “ghost nets”, which are fishing nets that have been left or lost in the ocean by people who fish.“They have huge effects on our environment. They can kill coral reefs and many animals,” said Natalie. “46 percent of the Pacific garbage is ghost gear.” The Great Pacific Garbage is a huge collection of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean betweenHawaiiandCalifornia.Natalie told her mom she wanted to do something to help. She got in touch with a handful of charities, including the Sea Protection Society and Coastal Action.After getting some shipments of ghost nets and rope from those organizations, Natalie, with the help of her family, started turning thediscardedgear into new artworks. “We've made bracelets, rope art, mats, baskets, and we've made necklaces, which also use beach glass in them,” she said. Natalie then started selling the artworks online, the crafty buying and selling website.She donated all her profits-minus a small sum of change to cover supplies — to the charities that donated fishing supplies to her. She's also been donating all the income from her non-profit business, called NauticalWaters, to charity. Natalie said she hoped to continue her passion for ocean life, with plans to study marine biology in university.8. How did Natalie help with ghost nets?A. By turning them into artworks.B. By asking support from her mother.C. By collecting money from charities.D. By selling ghost nets at a good price.9. What made Natalie decide to do something with ghost nets?A. To collect supplies for the artworks.B. To prepare for her study in university.C. To protect coral reefs and marine animals.D. To complete an assignment for her STEM class.10. What docs the underlined word “discarded" in Paragraph5refer to?A. Polluted.B. Rare.C. Waste.D. Discovered.11. What is the best title for the text.A. Ghost Nets Ready forSaleB. Charities Make a Big DifferenceC. Natalie's Passion for Ocean TreasuresD. TeenTurnsOld Fishing Nets into ArtworksDThe idea of growing food in a desert would make most people laugh but this is quickly becoming a reality. There are currently two desert farms in the world where quality vegetables are being planted cheaply and easily.Sundrop Farms, based in South Australia, uses experimental greenhouses to grow tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert, obviously, is the lack of available water. The researchers at Sundrop Farms have gotten aroundthis problemby using the sun to desalinate (淡化) sea water. It can also be used to control the temperature of the greenhouses.Without depending on limited resources such as land and fresh water Sundrop Farms has made farming a practice. This can increase the world’s food supplies. Another benefit ofthis kind of farming is that it can be done anywhere, thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations. Yet another benefit is that it reduces the need for pesticides (杀虫剂).Another experimental desert farm is the Sahara Forest Project, which began in Qatar in December 2012. Greenhouses in the farm are cooled by saltwater. Solar power and other technologies are used together to help make vegetation (植被) grow in the desert environment. As deserts have expanded over recent years around the world due to global warming, this project could solve the problem.The result form the Qatar project were better than expected and in June of 2014, Jordan agreed to host another one. This will be much bigger than the Qatar project and the project members will have even moreopportunities to test their experiments on a much larger scale. It is not clear yet that desert farming resents the future of farming but these projects have shown some success in the field.12. What does “this problem” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Sea water is bard to purify.B. The desert is short of water.C. The temperature is high in the desert.D. Desert farms aren’t fit to plant vegetables.13. What is one of the characters of desert farming?A. It needs more pesticides.B. It saves delivery costs.C. It has a location limit.D. It solves food waste problems14. What can we know about the Sabara Forest Project?A. It lives up to expectationsB. It can help produce more foodC. It is started to prevent global warmingD. It uses technology to produce saltwater15. What can be inferred about desert farming from the last paragraph?A. It still has problems to solve.B. It represents the future of farming.C. Its early success has aroused interest in it.D. Its aim is to create more job opportunities.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。

My project came about as I was constantly hearing about plastic pollution on the news. And I also see the real effects on our beaches every day. I discovered, to my shock, that at present no filtration( 过滤) for microplastics takes place in any European wastewater treatment centers, so I started looking for a solution.Seeing that there was none, I decided to investigate further, finally finding a way to use the feerofluid(铁磁流体)，a liquid which sticks to the plastic allowing it to be removed using magnets. After over 1 ,000 tests I have proved that my method would remove 87% or higher of microplastics.I grew up in West Cork, Ireland. My hometown is surrounded by untouched nature. This has been my primary inspiration about how nature works. I soon discovered that science really was in everything. The fact that I lived in such a remote place meant that I had to build my own equipment and lab to conduct tests and experiments.Inspired by scientists such as Ben Feringa and his work with organic chemistry and nanotechnology (纳米技术),I would like to study chemistry or chemical engineering when finishing my last year of secondary school. Both of these subjects will be suited to me as I really enjoy problem-solving and experiments.One of the most valuable rewards from the science fair for me is the opportunity to present my work to a group of professional judges. Winning the prize is a great honour to me as this is an acknowledgement of my project and ideas.Also, winning the prize will give my project more attention. There is nothing I would like to see more than my project to be used in addressing microplastics in our oceans worldwide.24. What do we know about Fionn?A. He is studying at college.B. He lives by the sea.C. He works for a science fair.D. He was born in America,25. Why did Fionn set up the project?A. To purify the polluted air.B. To recycle microplastics in cities.C. To collect plastic wastes in water.D. To remove microplastics from water.26. Which of the following can be used to describe Fionn?A. Competitive.B. Creative.C. Optimistic.D. Humorous.27. What is Fionn looking forward to?A. Seeing his project applied widely in real life.B. Going to the science fair to get another prize.C. Attracting more attention to his project.D. Getting his project acknowledged by the judges.CThe official opening of Bejjing Daxing International Airport caps a long design and building process. Designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid and her Chinesepartners, the airport is built for the future, having a terminal the size of 97 soccer grounds - as well as customer-service robots that provide travelers with flight updates and airport information.Called”starfish" by Chinese media for its shape of five concourses( 大厅) connected to a main hall, Daxing aims to reduce walking for passengers. The airport authority has promised a distance of no more than 600 meters一about eight minutes of walking一between security checkpoints and the remotest boarding gates.This new modern airport employs a special intelligent lighting system, supported by eight big C-shaped columns that let in the sunlight ，brightening the architecture and structure. Therefore it minimizes the need to use electric lighting.To offer a more refreshing travel experience, five outdoor courtyards一with the themes ” Silk Garden", ”Tea Garden"，” Porcelain(瓷) Carden", ”Countryside Garden" and " Chinese Garden" -- feature at the end of the five departure lounges for use by passengers waiting for their flights. Travelers will be scanned on cameras using facial recognition. Counters will be fully automated to capture face photos and relay them each part of the journey through the airport, including security and the departure gate.China is projected to overtake the United States as the world's biggest air travel market by 2022. The' modest" initial operational target at Daxing is to accommodate 72 million passengers and 2 million tons of goods annually by 2025. The ambitious master plan calls for the building of a total of seven runways, and moving at least 100 million passengers and 4 million tons of goods a year through the airport.28. Why is the airport in a starfish shaped design?A. To keep security checkpoints effective.B. To hold as many passengers as possible.C. To make boarding gates within easy reach.D. To get the main hall easier to be found.29. What can the airport's lighting system be described as?A. Energy-saving.B. High-end.C. Passenger-friendly.D. Strangely-formed.30. What can be inferred about the five outdoor courtyards?A. They use popular techniques.B. They reflect the Chinese tradition.C. They follow the latest world trend.D. They promote Chinese goods to people.31. What do the numbers in the last paragraph indicate?A. The airport's potential.B. The airport's market.C. The airport's facilities.D. The airport's project.DOur ability to collect data gets far ahead of our ability to fully use it, yet data may hold the key to solving some of the biggest global challenges facing us today.Take, for instance, the frequent outbreaks of waterborne diseases as a consequence of war or natural disasters. The most recent example can be found in a country, where roughly 10,000 new suspected cases of cholera (霍乱) are reportedeach week--and history is filled with similar stories. What if we could better understand the environmental factors that contributed to the disease,predict which communities are at higher risk. and put in place protective measures to stop the spread? Answers to this question and others like it could potentially help us prevent a catastrophe.As a big data scientist, I study data from wide ranging, public sources to identity pattern, hoping to predict trends that could be a threat to global security. Various data streams are important because the ground truth data ( such as surveys) is often delayed，limited, incorrect or, sometimes, nonexistent.For example，knowing the incidence(发生率) of mosquito-borne disease in communities would help us predict the risk of mosquito-spread disease such as dengue ，the leading cause of illness and death in the tropics. However, mosquito data at a global ( and even national) level is not accessible.To address this gap, we're using other sources such as satellite pictures, climate data and population information to forecast the risk of dengue. Specifically, we had success in predicting the spread of dengue in Brazil at the regional, state and city level using these data streams as well as clinical observation data and online searches that used terms related to the disease. While our predictions aren't perfect, they show promise.Similarly, to forecast the flu season, we have found that online searches can complement( 补充) clinical data.Because the rate of people searching the internet for flu symptoms often increases during their beginning, we can predict a sharp increase in cases where clinical data delays. All of this shows the potential of big data. The information is there;now it's time to use it.32. What do the examples in paragraphs 2 and 4 show?A. Big data is still hard to get and use.B. People aren't skilled at dealing with big dataC. Big data is not always an imagined method.D. Catastrophes might be prevented with big data.33. According to the text, survey dataA. is a main form of multiple data streamsB. is an effective way to collect informationC. is sometimes unreliable and unavailableD. is a timely alternative to multiple data streams34. What does the underlined part”this gap" in paragraph 5 refer to?A. The lack of big data on mosquitos.B. The lack of different data streams.C. The risk of an outbreak of a disease.D. The ignorance of how a disease spreads.35. What's the best title of the text?A. How do we collect and use data?B. What are the challenges facing us now?C. How can big data help save the world?D. What is the answer to preventing catastrophes?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人空白处的最佳选项。

The goal is to sit quietly and pay close attention to where the mind travels without getting too caught up in the scenery.”Lin and his MSU co-authors—William Eckerle, Ling Peng and Jason Moser—hired more than 200 participants to test how open monitoring meditation affected how people detect and respond toerrors.The participants, who had never meditated before, were taken through a 20-minute open monitoring meditation exercise while the researchers measured brain activity through electroencephalography (脑电图), or EEG. Then, they completed a computerized distraction (分心) test.“The EEG can measure brain activity at the millisecond level, so we got precise measures of brain activity right after mistakes compared to correct responses,” Lin said. “A certain neural signal occurs about half a second after an error called the error positivity, which is linked to conscious error recognition. We found that the strength of this signal is increased in the meditators to controls.”“These findings show what just 20 minutes of open monitoring meditation can do to improve the brain’s ability to detect and pay attention to mistakes,” Moser said.4.

OMM Can Help You Make Fewer MistakesCIn someareas ofCalifornia, it’s so dry that farmers aren’t willing to plant crops this season. Growers, north ofSan Francisco, have begun pulling out of local farmers markets.CountyLineHarvest, which farms more than 30 acres inPetaluma, hasn’t had enough water to grow all the peppers, lettuces and other produce for a long time, according to a video on its Instagram page. Nearby farms arc saying the same, emphasizing (强调) the effect of theextendeddry periods.Californiagrows a third of theUnited States' vegetables and two-thirds of the nation's fruits and nuts. If dry weather prevents farmers from growing plants, that could lead to pushing up the price of food that's already starting to affect theU.S.economy.“Due to severe drought, for the first time in 21 years, we will not be able to grow this summer inPetaluma,"CountyLinesaid in its post.Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. inKansas, saidCalifornia“missed the rainy season" and won't see much moisture (水分) over the next several months.A La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific pushed winter storms north and away from the state, leaving it with less moisture than usual. AsCaliforniagets most of its water from winter storms, little relief is expected before October.That has left growers such as Shao Shan Fann in a bind. The business can’t offer the selection of Asian vegetables and Bay Area staples it usually grows at its Bolinas location, according to its website.Nearby, Green Valley Community Farm has access to only about 5% of the water it usually relies on, owner David Plescia said. He’s looking for new land with enough water to use, and also has a permit in the works to grow cannabis to make up for the lost income. If it doesn’t make it, he’ll leave the fields empty.“It’s part of our generation’s cross to bear, figuring out how to run small — or medium-scale farm businesses in this kind of atmosphere of highly variable rainfall,” Andrew said.8. What does the underlined word “extended” in the second paragraph mean?A. Hot.B. Short.C. Long.D. Wonderful.9. Which is the result if the dry weather stops famers from planting crops?A. Theincreaseinthe priceof food.B. The growth of economy inU.S.C.Lessmoisture than usual.D. The low price of Asian vegetables.10. From what Andrew said, we can infer (推断) all of the following statements EXCEPT that________.A. The climate is not very goodB. It is part of the burden for people of his generationC. It is hard for him to run his farm businesses insuch bad climateD. He is sure that the serious drought will come to an end soon11. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How do the famers run businesses inCalifornia.B. How does the owner look for new land with enough waterC. California farmers facing drought choose not to plant crops.D. The farm economy of theUnited Stateshas changed a lot.DTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sellproduct are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.12. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B. The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C. The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D. Many problems of usability known by the consumers.13. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B. What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C. Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D. The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product14. What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A. They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B. They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C. They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D. They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB. Feature-heavy Products in DemandC. The More Features, the BetterD. Simplicity Outweighs Complexity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。
