A（2021·江西南昌市·南昌二中高二期末）Most of us marry creativity to our concept of self either we're "creative" or we aren't, without much of a middle ground. "I'm just not a creative person!" a frustrated student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, giving a comment such as, "I'm very right-brained."Dr. Pillay, a tech entrepreneur and an assistant professor at Harvard University, has been challenging these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to "believe in yourself." In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.Dr. Pillay points to a 2016 study demonstrating the impact of stereotypes on one's behavior; The authors. educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into three groups, instructing the members of one to think of themselves as "romantic poets" and the members of another to imagine they were "serious librarians" (the third group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the serious-librarian group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors.These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a "malleable product of context and perspective, as long as he or she feels like a creative person. Dr. Pillay argues that, besides identifying yourself as creative, taking the bold, creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful. So, wish you were more creative? Just pretend!1．According to the passage，who is more likely to unlock his creative potential?A．An art major who always believes in himself.B．A math major who has excellent academic performanceC．A physics major who likes to imagine himself as a poet.D．A history major who works as a librarian on weekends.2．What does the Study conducted by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar focus on?A．The creativity of the college students.B．The stereotypes of the college students.C．The impact of stereotypes on one's behaviorD．The influence of creativity on one's behavior.3．The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means__________?A．stable B．sustainable C．predicable D．changeable 4．Dr Pillay may agree with the statement that__________.A．there is no doubt that we are either creative or notB．a student who doesn't do well in art class is not creativeC．right brain determines whether a person is creative or notD．if we pretend to be creative，then we might be really creativeB（2021·湖南师大附中高三月考）Some people get more unwilling to take risks as the years go by. Not Gail MacCallum, who at age 40 quit a secure job and left the city she had enjoyed her whole adult life to step into the unknown.MacCallum spent her formative years in a farmhouse without electricity and enjoyed the freedom of the natural world. During her adult life, she moved through several jobs before finding her calling in book publishing and then magazines. One day she and her partner Ian Connellan were on a holiday on Hobart, enjoying the chance to get close to wildlife, when they ran into some friends- of-friends, who asked them to dinner. The next day, recalls MacCallum, “They said, ‘We think you should buy our house.’” With no intention of uprooting their lives she and Connellan thought this was “entirely ridiculous", yet they got really excited talking about the possibilities such a move might present. “At last,” we said, “Let's give it a go.”They resigned from their jobs and moved to Hobart. Both of them are brave travelers who had spent time with scientists working in various remote spots around the world. Theywondered if they could make a living by helping others to experience those unique places for themselves. Then came the new company Curious Traveler. “It works brilliantl y. Scientists get helpers and funding. Guests get to see what scientists do and how the world is changing because of it. They leave, excited and inspired,” MacCallum says.In two-and-a-half years, the pair still have to replenish their incomes with some writing and editing, but the business is growing and within five years they hope to be helping fund half a dozen research projects. It is a big task. “Some days we think it would be great to turn it off,” MacCallum says, “but when we see the wonder on the fa ce of a person who is experiencing somewhere like the Galapagos for the first time, we know we are living a wonderful life.”5．What caused MacCallum and Connellan to give up their jobs?A．A casual offer from some friends-of-friends. B．Their childhood experiences with nature. C．Their boredom with their then jobs. D．The desire to protect the wildlife. 6．What does MacCallum and Connellan's company do?A．It promotes tourism in remote places.B．It gets courageous travelers to explore the world.C．It organizes trips to places of scientific research.D．It helps scientists find proper spots for research.7．What mainly inspires MacCallum and Connellan to keep going?A．Their dream for a booming business. B．The financial gain from their work. C．The prospect of research programs. D．The satisfaction of their customers. 8．The underlined word “replenish" in Paragraph 4 means _________.A．consume B．supply C．reduce D．controlC（2021·广东华南师大附中高三月考）Cigarette ends are everywhere--littering our streets and beaches--and for decades they've been thought of as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jersey-based company, called Terracycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and posters, between 2000 and 2014.global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a wholelot of those cigarette ends ended up as trash: Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. “It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water,” Temacycle’s founder, Tom Swak, said. “Animals can also mistake cigarette ends littered for food.”So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? Terracycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it onnon-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these. Terracycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They’re now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate pack aging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfills, and then get companies to provide money for the process. And now, it works well.“We haven't found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terracycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and varieties of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”9．What does Terracycle intend to do?A．Search for recyclable materials for use.B．Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.C．Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D．Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.10．What does the underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Rubbish. B．Poison. C．Disaster. D．Ruin. 11．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The effective use of cigarette ends.B．The process of recycling cigarette ends.C．The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.D．The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.12．What do A lbe’s words in the last paragraph imply?A．There is more and more waste to be recycled.B．It is difficult for Terracycle to recycle everything.C．Terracycle is trying to meet the challenge of new waste.D．Terracycle has successfully recycled a large amount of waste.D（2021·广东实验中学高三月考）Optional Tours in LangkawiLine One(Mangrove tours and eagle feeding)Catch exciting movement and magnificent views of how eagles try to get their food skillfully at kilim river mangrove jungle safari visit limestone bats cave and have lunch on floating restaurant.Price: adult rate RM 160.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 120.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime: 9:00 am—14:00 pmLine Two(Snorkeling and baby shark feeding)Pulau Payar marine park with spectacular corals and colorful tropical marine life is one of the most beautiful and exotic marine parks in Malaysia.Price: adult rate RM 220.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 150.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 8:00 am—17:00 pmLine Three(Day cruise around Langkawi archipelago)Experience swimming among fishes and view spectacular corals and exotic marine life.Price: adult rate RM 450.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 350.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 9:00 am—17:00 pmLine Four(Amazing sunset cocktail and dinner cruise)Experience the amazing sunset scenery around the Andaman sea while having cocktail and dinner.Price: adult rate RM 350.00/ person child rate (age 3—12yrs) RM 250.00/ person infant (below 3yrs) freeTime 16:00 pm—21 :00 pm13．What is special about Line One?A．It provides food.

"Iˈm not a trained musician, but Iˈve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the groupˈs officia l page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesnˈt have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage."A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you donˈt turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained.Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage."My husband is the worst page turner," she laug hed. "Heˈs interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' "Robert is the best page turner Iˈve had in my entire life."24.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?A. Read music.B. Play the piano.C. Sing songs.D. Fix the instruments.25.Which of the following best describes Tittertonˈs job on stage?A. Boring.B. Well-paid.C. Demanding.D. Dangerous.26.What does Titterton need to practise?A. Counting the pages.B. Recognizing the "nodding".C. Catching falling objects.D. Performing in his own style.27.Why is Ms Raspopovaˈs husband "the worse page turner"?A. He has very poor eyesight.B. He ignores the audience.C. He has no interest in music.D. He forgets to do his job.(2021·全国·历年真题)CWhen the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地).In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. "Ding" Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.28.What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?A. Loss of wetlands.B. Popularity of water sports.C. Pollution of rivers.D. Arrival of other wild animals.29.What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph?A. Acquire.B. Export.C. Destroy.D. Distribute.30.What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?A. The stamp price has gone down.B. The migratory birds have flown away.C. The hunters have stopped hunting.D. The government has collected money.31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. The Federal Duck Stamp StoryB. The National Wildlife Refuge SystemC. The Benefits of Saving WaterfowlD. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting(2021·全国·历年真题)DPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a personˈs makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and "people skills". Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person. Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life. Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.32.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a personˈs mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a personˈs positive qualities.33.Why does the author mention "doctor" and "cheater" in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.34.What is the authorˈs attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）(2021·全国·历年真题) My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.

But the 16 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 17 more remarkable.After spotting a 18 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 19 to return.After hours in the cold and wet, he 20 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver, onlyto 21 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 23 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 24 .The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 25 .Mr. Anderson said：＂I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 26 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and27 he didn’t take the wallet for himself；he thought aboutothers 28 . It’s unbelievable. It just proves thereare 29 guys out there.＂Mr. Smith’s act 30 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 31 about the act of kindness on Facebook.Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 32 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000. ＂I think the faith that everyone has shown 33 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job 34 and all sorts,＂ Mr. Anderson commented.For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 35 .

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt t hat I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.zxxkDetermined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.36．A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A．was well trained B．felt scaredC．made up his mind to run D．lost hope37．Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.C．To show he was not talented in sports.D．To share a precious memory.38．How was the author’s first marathon?A．He made it. B．He quit halfway.C．He got the first prize. D．He walked to the end.39．What does the story mainly tell us?A．A man owes his success to his family support.B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.C．Failure is the mother of success.D．One is never too old to learn.2、 Find Your Adventure at the Space and Aviation(航空) CenterIf you’re looking for a unique adventure, the Space and Aviation Center (SAC) is the place to be. The Center offers programs designed to challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking employment in engineering, aviation, education, medicine and a wide variety of other professions. They come to camp, wanting to know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what they’re studying in the classroom.For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges(荣誉徽章). At Space Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they buildand fire model rockets, learn about space tasks and try simulated(模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge. They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit(驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water- and land-survival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of ＂downed＂ pilot.With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task.All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18. Families can enjoy the experience together, too, with Family Camp programs for families with children as young as 7.Stay an hour or stay a week — there is something here for everyone!For more details, please visit us online at .40．Why do people come to SAC?A．To experience adventures.B．To look for jobs in aviation.C．To get a degree in engineering.D．To learn more about medicine.41．To earn a Space Exploration badge, a trainee needs to .A．fly to spaceB．get an Aviation badge firstC．study the principles of flightD．build and fire model rockets42．What is the most important for trainees?A．Leadership. B．Team spirit.C．Task planning. D．Survival skills.3、 Plastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass —apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂43．What can we learn about the worms in the study?A．They take plastics as their everyday food.B．They are newly evolved creatures.C．They can consume plastics.D．They wind up in landfills.44．According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A．identify other means of the breakdownB．find out the source of the enzymeC．confirm the research findingsD．increase the breakdown speed45．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A．help to raise wormsB．help make plastic bagsC．be used to clean the oceansD．be produced in factories in future46．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain a study method on worms.B．To introduce the diet of a special worm.C．To present a way to break down plastics.D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance.4、 Preparing Cities for Robot CarsThe possibility of self-driving robot c ars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehiclescan help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.47．According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can __________.A．help deal with transportation-related problemsB．provide better services to customersC．cause damage to our environmentD．make some people lose jobs48．As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern?A．Safety. B．Side effects.C．Affordability. D．Management.49．What does the underlined word ＂fielded＂ in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Employed. B．Replaced.C．Shared. D．Reduced.50．What is the author’s attitude t o the future of self-driving cars?A．Doubtful. B．Positive.C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.5、 Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. 51．Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 52． The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 53． Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.54．Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.55．However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A．Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B．But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C．Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D．Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.四、作文（共2题）1、（2018·北京）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国文化感兴趣，计划明年来北京上大学。

But books don’t change,people do.And that’s whatmakes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on ourpresent mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But withreading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now,because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their ownweight.There are three books I reread annually The first, which I take to reading every spring isEmest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitiousyet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔)about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: SelectedPoems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, whichmightadd to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful andnecessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The bestbooks are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to growand read and reread in order to better understand your friends.24.

It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A. They must run long distances.B. They are qualified for the marathon.C. They have to follow special rules.D. They are good at swinging their legs.【分值】2分【答案】C29. What advantage does race walking have over running?A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.B. It’s less challenging physically.C.

A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow（发光）in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.in the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source（电源）—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission（传输）.Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.32.

I know I lack the necessary DIY skills, but luckily there are numerous books and online videos that will hopefully give me the information I need. Publications that help us to help ourselves are nothing new, but the range of them is increasing with advice being given far beyond practical tasks around the house.Bookshops these days are full of titles which claim to boost your self-confidence, your wealth, your love life or your career. Some claim to improve your life within seven days! It's big business and it's thought that the self-help industry is worth $10bn in the US alone.The first self-help book called 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' was published in 1936, and has since sold 30 million copies and is still popular now. It includes guidance on how to make people like you and how to make your life happier. It might seem strange to think that we need a book to tell us how to live our lives but self-help books remain a go to remedy for those of us looking for enlightenment.There are, of course, trends in what we need help with. Emma Marshall, who works at British bookshop Waterstones, says “at the moment we're in the tidying up, getting rid of things trend... I think the trend right now is about slowing down in your life." It seems there is always something we need help with, and reading about it can be very therapeutic - it makes us feel good, even if we don't do anything about it.Of course, the internet has become the place to go to for salvation. We've got used to searching for solutions online, and now these solutions even include howto fix or improve our lives. Interestingly, psychologist Caroline Beaton, says people called 'millennials' are self-critical — they are aware of their own faults — which also means they're more likely to spend time and money on self-help. There's also a theory that the self-help industry does well during a recession — people are perhaps even more likely to reach for self-help to improve their situation.Whatever the reason for the continued interest in self-help, it's good to know help is at hand when we need it. The alternative to finding a happier life is just to come to terms with yourself as you are -I know, I read about it in a book! Do you believe in self-help books?4. Where else can you get self-help advice apart from books?A.From teachersB.From friendsC.From the InternetD.From parents5.What do you know about self-books?A.They may offer you some keys to success.B.They hasn't gained great popularity.C.All of us enjoy them very much.D.They can certainly improve your life within seven days.6. Why do millennials spend more money on self-help books according to Caroline Beaton?A.They are stuck in a recession.B.They realize they are not perfect.C.They are more likely to have access to books.D.They haven't got used to searching for solutions online.7. What can we infer from the passage?A.People don't have interest in self-help books.B.Accepting yourself as you are makes you happier.C.The self-help industry makes little difference during a recession.D.The current trend in self-help books is about rushing around and taking things easier.CIt used to be mostly the military that used small, unpiloted aircraft, called “drones”. The little planes were very costly. But as they hav e dropped in price more people have begun to use them. Rescue workers and farmers are among the new users.The fast rate of the development of computer technology, image sensing devices, satellite navigation (卫星导航) and smartphones has led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developers have learned how to build smaller and less-costly drones. Moviemakers are using drones to film from the sky. Historians use them when they explore ancient buildings. Rescue workers use them to look for people. And now farmers are using them to monitor their crops.Romain Faroux is a French businessman who starts companies. His father was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He helped create a company that developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground. They called it “Agridrone”. It uses a special “optical sensor (光学传感器)” to examine crops. The technology used is similar to that used by smartphones—except it has wings.A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the drone records four different-colored “bands”of sunlight that are reflected off the crops.Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the season. This provides a lot of information about his crops. The drone pictures show him the exact amount of fertilizer the crops need. It also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed.Romain Faroux says farmers use information collected by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it is needed. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere. Drones also save time because farmers can examine up to three hectare (公顷) in about a minute.8.Why do rescue workers and farmers begin to use drones?A.Drones can monitor their cattle.B.Drones’ prices have dropped.C.Drones can help them get more business.D.Drones’ sizes become smaller.9.What can the drones developed by Romain Farour’s company do?A.Explore ancient buildings.B.Put fertilizer on the crops.C.Help farmers examine their crops.D.Help rescue workers look for people.10.What can the sensor on the drone do?A.Help the sunlight shine on the crops.B.Direct the plane to fly over the crops.C.Examine the different colors of the crops.D.Record the sunlight reflected off the crops.11.According to the text, the use of the drone is __________.A.environment-friendlyB.wastefulC.costlyD.safeDScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas —essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.12. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C. Strengthen.D. Weaken.13. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?A. Restore the damaged reefs.B. Grow corals by hand underwater.C. Create more protected areas.D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.14. What do Cunning's words suggest?A. Many corals have been genetically improved.B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Relationship between corals and algaeB. Efforts made to save coralsC. Impact of climate warming on coralsD. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs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。
