Determination to Keep AliveCOur mother earth is going through a very tough situation and we, the entire human race, are destroying our environment or unconsciously without even realizing its consequences. Now we have to act very smartly and plan something to sustain what we still have, getting all necessary support from nature to lead healthy lives.Gardening is always an excellent and environmentally friendly idea. If you can go for sustainable gardening, then it will be even more useful for all. Gardening is a favorite hobby for many. It is time to channelize your hobby towards a more meaningful motivation.When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients(材料) to grow plants. Some of them are natural resources like water, soil, sunshine, and many things like this. Using these resources smartly is a part of sustainable gardening. Some simple techniques include: use less water and organic things to grow plants; try to store rainwater so that you can use them for gardening; try using less energy to drive devices; avoid using plastics in any form while gardening; reuse the leaves from your garden to fertilize them. These are the basic sustainable measures. To do so we need to have proper knowledge about gardening and its requirements so that we can use proper resources without wasting any of them.In today’s busy life we don’t get much time to spend on our environment. Gardening gives us a chance to do so. We can also have some pesticide-free(无农药的) and fresh food if we grow them in our garden. This is the right time to do some good to protect our own environment and gardening is one of the easiest ways. Do you want to start gardening, but y ou’re not sure how?

Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly." It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to1, 000meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack "is built around safety from the start". In his words, “Reliability is the most important e lement of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot," he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.12. We can learn from the passage that the HoverbikeA. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly.B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to l, 000 meters high.C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams.D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed.13. Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show thatA. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable.B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful.C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height14. The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to .A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the Jetpack.D. the parachute15. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.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。

She brushed her fingertips over its surface, remembering.Jerry was only seven when he started surfing; by the age of eleven, he was positively incredible, moving over the face of big waves like there wasn’t even a slightest bit of efforts involved in.On that day in Bah, though, the ocean had seemed strange. The waves broke like water in a washing machine, and the breaks had been heavy too, making it tough to tell whether it was better to try to catch one or to get out of its way. That was how he’d misjudged.Ella had seen her brother lose control, his board was thrown out of the water riderless high into the air, but she hadn’t seen him surface. She’d waited for the space of a breath. Nothing. Something, clearly, was wrong.She dashed into the water, swimming faster even than the competitions at school. Lung burning. Heart Piping-Focused.She’d found him floating just beyond th e reef (暗礁), face up but knocked out cold. Just as she was paddling the water hard, her leg was hurt by the reef, a short, sharp instant of pain.No matter. She had kept Jerry’s head above water, swimming all the way back to shore. That day had been the wo rst, scariest moment in Jerry’s surfing career, which has seen him rise from a no-name kid who loved the ocean to a young star, winning competitions around the world.For Ella, her life had changed as well. She had learned something about who she was, about what she could achieve. She ran her fingers again over the scar, the physical map of the person she had become.28.

Ella was as outstanding an athlete as Jerry.B. Jerry learned how to surf all by himself.C. Ella was grateful for this terrible experience.D. Jerry had his leg injured in the surfing accident.DRunning is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡）一chemicals in the body that cause happiness 一 are behind the so-called “runner’s high”，a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素）may actually be responsible for this familiargreat feeling.To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.But after being given a drug to block their endorphins the change. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner's high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifchacker.Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that e xercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.The UK's National Health Service even prescribes (开药方)exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off b eing more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it's especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的）depression,” it wrote on its website.It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.32. What did scientists from German universities recently discover?A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.B. The runner's high could be caused by endocannabinoids.C. Endorphins may contribute to one's high spirits after running.D. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one's mood.33. The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to .A. find what reduces the runner's high symptomsB. see the specific symptoms of the runner's highC. identify what is responsible for the runner's highD. test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released34. The underline d word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to .A. effectB. goalC. questionD. belief35. According to the UK’s National Health Service, regular workouts .A. are the best way to treat depressionB. can help ease depression symptomsC. only work for those with serious depressionD. can help people completely recover from depression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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London. It houses a different collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modem ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modem works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entranceLayout:The modem Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th- to15th-century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling.The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese.The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer.The East Wing houses 18th- to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van Gogh.Opening Hours:The Gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm (Fridays 10am to 9pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.Getting There:Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross (2-minute walk), Leicester Square (3-minute walk), Embankment (7-minute walk), and Piccadilly Circus (8-minute walk).21.

Now, the website turns the page on the traditional ides of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the ideas is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back t o the “real” and not the virtual（虚拟）.The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.24. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.26.

A Website Links People Through BooksCThe scar ran down her leg from the knee to the ankle. She brushed her fingertips over its surface, remembering.Jerry was only seven when he started surfing; by the age of eleven, he was positively incredible, moving over the face of big waves like there wasn’t even a slightest bit of efforts involved in.On that day in Bah, though, the ocean had seemed strange. The waves broke like water in a washing machine, and the breaks had been heavy too, making it tough to tell whether it was better to try to catch one or to get out of its way. That was how he’d misjudged.Ella had seen her brother lose control, his board was thrown out of the water riderless high into the air, but she hadn’t seen him surface. She’d waited for the space of a breath. Nothing. Something, clearly, was wrong.She dashed into the water, swimming faster even than the competitions at school. Lung burning. Heart Piping-Focused.She’d found him floating just beyond the reef (暗礁), face up but knocked out cold. Just as she was paddling the water hard, her leg was hurt by the reef, a short, sharp instant of pain.No matter. She had kept Jerry’s head above water, swimming all the way back to shore. That day had been the worst, scariest moment in Jerry’s surfing career, which has seen him rise from a no-name kid who loved the ocean to a young star, winning competitions around the world.For Ella, her life had changed as well. She had learned something about who she was, about what she could achieve. She ran her fingers again over the scar, the physical map of the person she had become.28. Why did Ella think something was wrong?A. She didn’t see Jerry come out of water.B. She had not seen Jerry lose control before.C. She saw Jerry’s board high into the air.D. She noticed Jerry held his breath longer.29. What does the underlined part “positively incredible” probably mean?A. Terribly excited.B. Extremely good.C. Relatively young.D. Hardly talented.30. For Ella, the scar represents .A. her skill at saving livesB. her discovery of self-valueC. her envy of her brotherD. her love for swimming career31. What can be inferred from the text?A. Ella was as outstanding an athlete as Jerry.B. Jerry learned how to surf all by himself.C. Ella was grateful for this terrible experience.D. Jerry had his leg injured in the surfing accident.DRunning is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡）一chemicals in the body that cause happiness 一 are behind the so-called “runner’s high”，a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素）may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.But after being given a drug to block their endorphins the change. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner's high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wroteon science blog Lifchacker.Similar studies are yet to be carried out o n humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.The UK's National Health Service even prescribes (开药方)exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.“Being depressed can leave you feel ing low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it's especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的）depression,” it wrote on its website.It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.32. What did scientists from German universities recently discover?A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.B. The runner's high could be caused by endocannabinoids.C. Endorphins may contribute to one's high spirits after running.D. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one's mood.33. The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to .A. find what reduces the runner's high symptomsB. see the specific symptoms of the runner's highC. identify what is responsible for the runner's highD. test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released34. The underlined word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to .A. effectB. goalC. questionD. belief35. According to the UK’s National Health Service, regular workouts .A. are the best way to treat depressionB. can help ease depression symptomsC. only work for those with serious depressionD. can help people completely recover from depression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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

（每小题2分，共30分）AA farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, "Are these yours?" "Yes, Sir." the farmer answered timidly (胆怯地). "Have you killed the man?" "No, no, Sir." the farmer said in a hurry. "When did you see the dead man?" "About seven last evening." "Did you see who killed the man?" "No, Sir." The officer brought out a knife and asked, "Have you seen it yet?" "No, sir." The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and sent him into prison.That evening the officer went on trying. Pointing to the knife, he asked again, "Have you seen it yet?"

He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was 75, he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was 75 and expected to live to be 100, and the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at 75. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening”, he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was 75 and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.6.

The bookstore is open 24 hours a day．Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors’ works．So if you are looking for something less popular，you may get a bit disappointed there．Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars．All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves．So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens，papers，light bulbsand a label-maker．In order to catch passers-by’s attention，the billboards(广告牌）of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself．With these large eye-catchers，many people are willing to stop by and have a visit．9．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The world’s smallest bookstore．B．A strange way of selling books．C．The popular books nowadays．D．The popular bookstores in the world．10．Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?

It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine? The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker‟s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.12. The main idea of the passage is _____.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine13.

Nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting.These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves, space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia(小儿肺炎)and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste, crop waste and charcoal. The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.Nigel Brace is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way. There are already multiple technologies available for use in clean fuels. There is really quite an effective and reasonably low-cost alcohol stove made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company) that is now being tested out. LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas )cook is obviously widely available and efforts are under way to make those efficient. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves(电磁炉). WHO experts note that some new, safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available. In India, you can buy an induction stove for about ＄8.00. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than ＄1.00.But this, the agency says, is just a start. It is urging developing countries to use cleaner fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances5.What does the indoor pollution mainly result from?A. Poisonous fuelsB. High technologyC. Space heatersD. Solar energy6.How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By showing differencesB. By describing a processC. By making a listD. By analyzing data.7. What can we infer from the passage?A. Indoor pollution results in some deathsB. Most of the deaths are in developing countriesC. The solid fuels are used in more efficient ways.D. There is no indoor pollution in developed countries.8. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.LPG cooks are being tested out.B. Alcohol stoves are widely used now.C. Electric induction stoves are expensiveD. Solar lamps are very cheap in Africa.CI’ve spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车)drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺骗).Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhiairport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and one is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees,depending on distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between six and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.9.To avoid being cheated,you ought to ______ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A.pay more to the drivers to keep safeB.show your ticket to the driverC.go to a police-run boothD.go out of the airport10.The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ____________________.A.save some moneyB.enjoy the comfortable tripC.gain some unique experienceD.help the local rickshaw drivers11.What can we infer from the passage?A.You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B.It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C.A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D.You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.12.Which may be the topic that follows?A.Hotel recommendations in Delhi.B.Weather conditions in Delhi.C.Food and drink in Delhi.D.Car rentals in Delhi.DMy father wasn’t a king,he was a taxi driver,but I am a prince-Prince Renato II,of the country Pontinha,an island fort on Funchal harbour.It’s in Madeira,Portugal, where I grew up.It was discovered in 1419.In 1903,the king of Portugal sold the land to a wealthy British family,the Blandys,who make Madeira wine.Fourteen years ago the family decided to sell it for just ￡25,000,but nobody wanted to buy it either.I met Blandy at a party,and he asked if I’d like to buy the island.Of course I said yes,but I had no money-I was just an art teacher.I tried to find some business partners,who all thought I was crazy.So I sold some of my possessions,put my savings together and bought it.Of course,my family,my friends-all thought I was mad.When the King originally sold the island,he signed a document,selling all the “possessions and the dominions”of the island.It means I can do what I want with it-I could start a restaurant,or a cinema but nobody thought someone would start a country.So that’s what I did:I decided it would be my island,about the size of a one-bedroom house.I have both a Portuguese passport and one for Pontinha (where my passport number is 0001).There are four citizens:me,my wife,my son and my daughter.I am the police,the gardener,everything.I am whateverI want to be-that’s the dream,isn’t it?If I want to have a national flag,it could be blue today,red tomorrow.I can change it any time.Of course,my power is only absolute here,where I am the true sovereign.I don’t live in my country full time,but I am often there.My family sometimes drops by,and other people come every day because the country is free for tourists to visit;I never close for bad weather.Sometimes I come here when I’m feeling lively,after a few drinks.Madeira is surrounded by water,but for some reason we all have to pay to swim in the ocean now,at the swimming spots.However,I have my island,which means I can come swimming whenever I want-it’s as if someone has given me the key to the waters.Our lives are gone in a flash.All change in the world begins with something very small,and this is my country-just a small island.13.How did the author get the island?A.It was a present from Blandy.B.The king sold it to him.C.He inherited from his father.D.He bought it from Blandy.14.What did the author do with his island?A.He set up a restaurant.B.He started a cinema.C.He founded his own country.D.He opened a swimming pool.15.From his own experience,the author wanted to tell the readers that ______.A.you can change your life through small thingsB.you should buy your own country and become a kingC.becoming a real ruler is of much funD.life is too short,so enjoy it to the fullest第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019届高三上学期英语第一次月考试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解Incredible Women You Didn’t Learn About in History ClassHere are the stories of women you may not know about, but definitely shouldMaria Sibylla MerianBorn in Germany in 1647, Merian was fascinated by insects, and she began collecting, studying, and drawing them when she was as young as 13. She was one of the few naturalists of her time to actually study live insects. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles. Her work provided major contributions to the field of entomology （昆虫学）。

Murasaki ShikibuMurasaki Shikibu, a Japanese woman, was widely considered to be the world’s first novelist. She was a noble woman living in Japan around the year 1000 AD. She wrote a two-part novel called The Tale of Genji, which tells a riches-to-rags story about the son of a Japanese emperor forced to live as a common man. The Tale of Genji is widely considered to be a masterpiece of Japanese literature.Ada LovelaceAda was working to design early computing machines that she hoped would be able to quickly solve math problems. In addition to designing this early computer program, she also was first to suggest that these computers might be able to do more than, well, calculate. She imagined them doing everything, from producing images to composing music.Lucy StoneBorn in 1818, Stone married a fellow activist and changed her name, but decided to change it back a year later. She held the belief that “a wife should no more take her husband’s name than hers.” She became the first American married woman to keep her maiden name for her entire life. Stone was also one of the founding members of the American Equal Rights Association and fought for the ending of slavery.（1）What can readers learn about from The Tale of Genji?A . Ancient Japanese culture.B . Development of computer.C . Research on living things.D . Modern life of Japanese women.（2）What do Maria Sibylla Merian and Ada Lovelace have in common?A .

Maria Sibylla Merlan2. 阅读理解I have a neighbor who is a capable, fashionable, seventy-year-old, singlewoman. Her name is Grace. Grace was laid off from her job a little over two years ago and has been living off her savings ever since but not officially “retired”. Grace called me up one day about this time last year and asked if I had a ladder. She needed to clean out her gutters on the roof and wanted me to hold the ladder.She didn’t want me to climb up and clean the gutters. She just wanted me to hold the ladder. As it happened I did have a ladder. I said: “The leaves are going to fall off the trees in a month, why don’t we wait till they finish and do it then?” She agreed and naturally we didn’t talk about it again until spring. Spring in Tennessee is wild and we talked about it over the course of three weeks in which it rained nearly every day, then I got busy and Grace went into seclusion .A couple of weeks ago, she told me she’d been spending too much money and decided to apply for a bar tend ing job at a local hotel. “Now I don’t know about you all but I’d never considered what it would be like to apply for and begin a new job at the age of seventy. I’m fifty-three and the older I get, the more I think about how great it’ll be if I can just ge t out of bed when I’m seventy.” Anyway, she got the job, serving the bar and tending banquets at the hotel.The day when she left for her training at 6 am, I walked across the street with my ladder and cleaned out her gutters.（1）What did Grace want the author to do?A . Make a ladder.B . Retire completely.C . Lend her a ladder.D . Give hersuggestions.（2）When did the author advise Grace to clean her gutters?A . In early spring.B . In rainy season.C . In time of leaves falling.D . In time of few leaves on trees.（3）What was the author’s neighbor doing when the author wrote the text?A . Working at a hotel.B . Training for her job.C .

This wake-up receiver has many potential applications, particularly in designing the next generation of net worked devices, including so called “smart” devices that can communicate directly with one another without human intervention .Once attached to a device, a wake-up receiver listens for a unique ultrasonic（超声波）pattern that tells it when to turn the device on. It needs only a very small amount of power to maintain this constant listening, so it still saves energy overall while extending the battery life of the larger device. A well-designed wake-up receiver also allows the device to be turned on from a significant distance.Given the increased interest in networked devices, researchers andindustry organizations are starting to define what features and techniques will become standard. Regardless of whether this ultrasound wake-up receiver is among these standard designs, it is likely wake-up receivers of some kind will be combined into commercial applications soon.By comparison, the ultrasound wake-up receiver requires a battery but has much greater range than the wirelessly powered devices, while still maintaining a long lifetime due to extremely low power draw. These two technologies-wireless power and wake-up receivers-would likely serve different purposes but both indicate at a turning point in devices that make up the Internet of Things.“In light of a long-promised future where interconnected, autonomous, widespread and unremarkable technologies make life easier, the networked devices available now, like video doorbells and app-enabled lights, seem like rather slight a dvances.” the researchers said. They believe technologies like theirs could help cross the gap between the Internet of Things as we know it and the Internet of Things at its best-whatever that may be.（1）Which of the following is an advantage of the wake-up receiver?A . It requires no signal.B . It is very power saving.C . It can make the battery larger.D . It must be fixed to another device.（2）What do we know about by comparing the wireless power with wake-up receivers?A . One can replace the other.B . The wake-up receiver is better.C . Both have their own advantages.D . The wirelessly powered device has more uses.（3）What do the researchers feel about their technologies mentioned in the last paragraph?A . They make the Internet cheaper.B . They make the Internet more popular.C . They are not useful devices for the Internet.D . They are beneficial to the use of the Internet.（4）What can be the best title for the text?A . Wide Use of Advanced EquipmentB . Development of the Internet DevicesC . New T echnique for Waking Up DevicesD . Difference between Two Wake-up Receives4. 阅读理解The Shiants, remote, cliff-edged islands off the coast of Scotland are home to 350,000 seabirds. This is the starting point for National Geographic contributor Adam Nicolson’s ne w book, The Seabirds Cry. Celebrating 10 species in detail, he describes the unbelievable recovery of seabirds and the many adaptations that have enabled them to survive and navigate the oceans, while sounding a loud call for their conservation among severely falling numbers.Speaking from his home in Sussex, England, Nicolson explains why guillemot colonies are information exchange centers: how new research is showing that those long-distance travelers. The shearwaters, “smell” their way across the globe; and what we can do to support seabird populations.National Geographic has just kicked off Year of the Bird with a cover story by Jonathan Franzen titled “Why Birds Matter “. The beginning of Year of theBird is beneficial to birds. Nicolson said, “I’ll ask you the same question-why? For me, these seabirds are symbols of uniqueness. There is so much on the land where the rest of the living world seems to be controlled by us, but when you go to seabird colonies, there is this pumping, loud and raging uniqueness. It’s a glance of the untouched world. ““The reason why it’s untouched is that, until recently, we have not controlled the oceans that the seabirds depend on. More of them have survived in greater numbers than most other creatures in the developed world, where huge amounts of the animal kingdom have been removed by us. And so one reason these birds matter is that they are symbols of what the world might be if we hadn’t done so much damage to it. “He added.“Seabirds also tend to disappear; they’re not reliably of our world, due to their migration and habits of life. Very deep in our consciousness is a sense that they are ambassadors from another world. And witnessing and feeling that is, I think, one of the great enlargers of life.” Nicolson explai ned.（1）What is the book The Seabirds Cry mainly about?A . Seabirds on an island.B . The extinction of seabirds.C . The importance of seabird.D . Seabirds in the author’s hometown.（2）What can we learn from Nicolson’s speech?A . The wisdom of seabirds.B . Ways to protect seabird.C . Migration routes of seabirds.D . The harder situation of seabirds.（3）What does the underlined phrase “kicked off” in paragraph 3 mean?A . Watched out forB . Cut acrossC . ExpressedD . Started（4）Which is a lucky thing for seabird s in Nicolson’s view?A . The sea is too large to be polluted.B . The sea isn’t entirely governed by humans.C . The seabirds are able to fit the environment.D . The seabirds are living in the developed world.二、任务型阅读5. 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。

To make some moneyC.To compare the prices of booksD.To introduce some interesting books.BThe World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. Nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting.These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves, space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia(小儿肺炎)and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste, crop waste and charcoal. The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.Nigel Brace is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way. There are already multiple technologies available for use in clean fuels. There is really quite an effective and reasonably low-cost alcohol stove made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company) that is now being tested out. LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas )cook is obviously widely available and efforts are under way to make those efficient. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves(电磁炉). WHO experts note that some new, safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available. In India, you can buy an induction stove for about ＄8.00. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than ＄1.00.But this, the agency says, is just a start. It is urging developing countries to use cleaner fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances5.What does the indoor pollution mainly result from?A. Poisonous fuelsB. High technologyC. Space heatersD. Solar energy6.How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By showing differencesB. By describing a processC. By making a listD. By analyzing data.7. What can we infer from the passage?A. Indoor pollution results in some deathsB. Most of the deaths are in developing countriesC. The solid fuels are used in more efficient ways.D. There is no indoor pollution in developed countries.8. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.LPG cooks are being tested out.B. Alcohol stoves are widely used now.C. Electric induction stoves are expensiveD. Solar lamps are very cheap in Africa.CI’ve spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车)drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺骗).Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhiairport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and one is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees,depending on distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between six and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.9.To avoid being cheated,you ought to ______ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A.pay more to the drivers to keep safeB.show your ticket to the driverC.go to a police-run boothD.go out of the airport10.The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ____________________.A.save some moneyB.enjoy the comfortable tripC.gain some unique experienceD.help the local rickshaw drivers11.What can we infer from the passage?A.You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B.It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C.A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D.You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.12.Which may be the topic that follows?A.Hotel recommendations in Delhi.B.Weather conditions in Delhi.C.Food and drink in Delhi.D.Car rentals in Delhi.DMy father wasn’t a king,he was a taxi driver,but I am a prince-Prince Renato II,of the country Pontinha,an island fort on Funchal harbour.It’s in Madeira,Portugal, where I grew up.It was discovered in 1419.In 1903,the king of Portugal sold the land to a wealthy British family,the Blandys,who make Madeira wine.Fourteen years ago the family decided to sell it for just ￡25,000,but nobody wanted to buy it either.I met Blandy at a party,and he asked if I’d like to buy the island.Of course I said yes,but I had no money-I was just an art teacher.I tried to find some

0001).There are four citizens:me,my wife,my son and my daughter.I am the police,the gardener,everything.I am whateverI want to be-that’s the dream,isn’t it?If I want to have a national flag,it could be blue today,red tomorrow.I can change it any time.Of course,my power is only absolute here,where I am the true sovereign.I don’t live in my country full time,but I am often there.My family sometimes

it's a feeling，" said Barry．But the reality was different．Bina48 ended up learning "31 different versions of love，" said Barry，highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working artificial intelligence in future．Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point．Bina48's contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube．It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate．In the next decade， Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach aclass， though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience， rather than replacing instructors completely．24．What was Bina48's performance like in class？___A．Extraordinary．B．Insignificant．C．Far-reaching．D．Unattractive．25．What does the underlined word "addressing" in paragraph 3 probably mean？___ A．Dealing with．B．Consulting with．C．Giving a speech to．D．Sending a letter to．26．What can we learn from the passage？___A．It was interesting for Bina48to learn about love．B．It was quite easy for Bina48to learn about love．C．Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man．D．Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence．27．What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48？___ A．It will surely be able to serve as a teacher．B．It will be able to promote learning and teaching．C． It will completely take the place of instructors．D． It will be smart enough to control human beings．CThe survey by The Harvard Crimson was emailed to incoming first year undergraduates； 1，600 students responded．Results showed that at least a tenth of the students polled admitted to having cheated on an exam before starting at the university，while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework．Athletes were apparently the most prone to cheating.20 percent of students who played a university sport admitted to cheating on an exam compared to 9 percent of students who did not．The survey also revealed that men were not only more likely to cheat but were also more likely to admit to it．The results，compared to a previous survey done on the class of 2013，suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace．Of the outgoing seniors only 7 percent admitted to cheating in an exam and another 7 percent said they had been dishonest on a take-home test.32 percent of the seniors said they had cheated on homework during their undergraduate years．The surveys come in the wake of a cheating scandal at the university which saw120 students investigated for sharing answers on an exam in 2012．One recent graduate stated："Cheating was commonplace when I was at Harvard，especially with students in their first year or two．I would say as many as 60 per cent of students took notes into some exams．No one really cared and the faculty (教师)，well some of them at least，seemed to recognize and yet ignore the problem"．In an email to NBC News，Jeff Neal，a Harvard representative，explained that acheating，which"is a national problem in American education"．28．Of the following 4 university students，who is most likely to cheat？___ A．Jack，an athletic freshmanB．Rose，a third-year studentC．John，a second-year studentD．Maria，a first-year student29．According to para.4& 5，which of the following statement can be inferred？___ A．They have done more than one survey．B．only 7% of the seniors have cheated in the exams．C．It seems more and more undergraduates are cheating．D．Students are more likely to cheat in their senior years．30．Why did The Harvard Crimson conduct the survey？___A．Because they want to wake up the cheating students．B．Because the faculty recognized and yet ignored the problem．C．Because cheating has become more commonplace．D．Because there was a cheating scandal at the university．31．Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word"tackle"in the last paragraph？___A．find B．punish C．solveD explain．DAccording to new research from the University of Cambridge in England， sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs．The farm animals， who are social and have large brains， were previously known to be able to recognize one another， as well as familiar humans．However， their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel．The recent study， the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society： Open Science．Show the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces， including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson．Initially，the sheep were trained lo approach certain images by being given food rewards．Later，they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded．The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle， though their ability to do so declined by about 15percent - the same rate at which a human's ability to perform the same task declines．"Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent，individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers，" said Professor Jenny Morton， who led the Cambridge study．"We've shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities， comparable with those of humans and monkeys．"Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings，and some disorders of the brain， including Huntington's disease， affect this ability．"Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys．That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain， such as Huntington's disease， that develop over a long time and affect cognitive abilities．Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change，" Morton said．32．According to the new research， what's unusual about sheep？___ A．They have large brains．B．They can recognize their owners．C．They can tell animals from humans．D．They can recognize human faces from photographs．33．How did the researchers train the sheep？___A．By guiding them to follow their handlers．B．By giving food rewards．C．By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns．D．By showing photos of famous people．34．What can be inferred from the passage？___A．Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys．B．The sheep's face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle．C．The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes．D．The sheep's face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain．35．What's the best title of the passage？___A．A New discovery about Sheep．B．How Sheep Recognize Each Other．C．A Wonderful Scientist．D．The Life of Sheep．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。
