ADon't ignore the difference teenagers can make.Jonny Thomas, 14, FloridaWhen Jonny Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley, who died from cancer, he remembered how much she loved peacocks (孔雀). He wanted to build a life-sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth's favorite park in the city. He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired. Jonny raised $52,000 to build the fountain.Barrett England, 13, UtahThe wheels began to turn for Barrett England when he heard about Karma Bike shop, a place where young people can earn a free bike by reading and performing community service. Barrett visited Karma's owner with his idea: He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them to the shop. He expected to get about 10 donated bikes. In the end, Barrett received 39.Zachary Blohm, 15, WisconsinThe 25-year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee, Wis., was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time. That's when Zachary Blohm saved the day. He and some volunteers build a huge playground. To raise money, Zac plannedT-shirt and bake sales (烤饼义卖), sold tickets and more. He held monthly money-raising events for more than a year. Overall, he collected $130,000--- enough to finish his project.Jack Zimmerman, 16, New JerseyFor some people, finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator. For more than 366,000 hungry kids in New Jersey, it's not that easy. That fact didn't sit well with Jack Zimmerman, who organized a drive to reduce childhood hunger in his state. His goal: create 40,000 packaged meals that could be donated to those in need. On game day, Jack and his volunteers started their work. After the final count, the team had packaged 47,124 meals---well above Jack's goal.( )1．The peacock fountain was built in a park ________.A．to encourage people B．for the love of animalsC．in memory of a teenager D．to cure a cancer sufferer( )2．What did Barrett do for Karma Bike shop?A．He helped it win customers.B．He repaired bikes there.C．He donated bikes to it.D．He offered a reading service there. ( )3．What do the four people have in common?A．They care about others.B．They're top students.C．They like various public activities.D．They're money raisers for the poor.BWhen I was six or seven, I could not understand the units. My parents got me a teacher, Jacky Ralfs, to give me private lessons.He started off trying the classic way of two plus two, but instead of shaking his head when I did not understand, he would try a different method. I remember him drawing little bags containing apples with three in one and four in another to explain. I understood when the sum was shown in practical terms.The other thing that impressed me was that Jacky was exciting and fun. I don't think teachers realize what an influence they have on children by their own personality. He dressed as he thought a teacher should look if he had been playing the part on stage. He was good company. As well as me in maths. I remembered him reading me books. The most importantthing Jacky taught me was dogged determination. We had a swing ball in the garden and I was not very good at hitting the thing, but he encouraged me to keep on trying over and over again until I got the hang of it.In my last year at school, I decided I had better do some work. I had long since been banned（禁止）from the Afrikaans (one of the official languages of South Africa) class, but found I could not get my matric(大学入学考试) without passing Afrikaans and the other subjects I studied. Without Afrikaans, all the effort I put into everything else would have been nothing. I remember Jackie saying you will be surprised at what happens if you just keep going. So I told myself in the school library. The school was run by nuns, so we are not allowed any books for girls to read, but there were magazines about farming in the library and they had good stories in them. I learned Afrikaans from reading stories about the farmer's boy.We lost touch, but all through my career I have kept a photograph of him to remind me of his wise advice.( )4．How did Jacky behave when he taught the author math?A．He played games with the authorB．He bought the author some books.C．He did magic to help the author understand.D．He taught the author with the help of drawings.( )5．What was the most important thing Jacky taught the author?A．Always being friendly. B．How to attract others.C．How to dress up. D．Never giving up.( )6．Why did the author work hard on her Afrikaans?A．She needed to pass the entrance examination of university.B．She felt Afrikaans difficult than other subjects.C．She did well in her subjects except Afrikaans.D．She was interested in Afrikaans.( )7．Which of the following best describes Jacky Ralfs?A．Encouraging and determined. B．Dependent and friendly.C．Carry and strong. D．Unusual and fearless.CMusic is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.A recent study suggests that preterm ( 早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.( )8．How does music affect preterm babies?A．It helps babies feel less suffering.B．It helps develop their potential in music.C．It helps improve their hearing systems.D．It helps repair their neurological systems.( )9．What does the underlined phrase "stave off" in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Lead to B．Increase C．Prevent D．Break into ( )10．Why can music mend a broken heart?A．It has a positive effect on human body systems' work.B．It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.C．It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.D．It can help patients recover in a slow way.( )11．What may be the best title for the text?A．Babies can benefit from music B．The best power of musicC．The way to choose quality music D．How music affects our mind and bodyDThere’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that —it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-createforms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same”, freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.Sustainability (可持续性)The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae (藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients (烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock “food” that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterdays bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste (糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.( )12．What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A．It solves food shortages easily.B．It quickens the transportation of food.C．It needs no space for the storage of food.D．It uses renewable materials as sources of food.( )13．According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ______________.A．is more available to consumersB．can meet individual nutritional needsC．is more tasty than food in supermarketsD．can keep all the nutrition in raw materials( )14．What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely? A．The printing process is complicated.B．3D food printers are too expensive.C．Food materials have to be dry.D．Some experts doubt 3D food printing.( )15．What could be the best title of the passage?A．3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology.B．A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing.C．The Challenges for 3D Food Production.D．3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷（五）一、阅读理解（共10小题：每小题2.5分，满分25分）（共3题；共25分）1.阅读理解I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza(狂欢)?Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book-it was Hemingway's The Sun Also rises-and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn't bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatiates(异乡客).I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role—as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student—in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway's language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.（1）What did the author think is the source of true joy?A.Reading by the fire.B.Travelling in SpainC.Breaking the regulationsD.Being occupied by one's passion（2）Which can best replace the underlined phrase "braiding itself into" in the last paragraph?A.EnteringB.DestroyingC.MendingD.Blocking.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A.I was tired of my real-life roles.B.I learnt how to write on the Internet.C.Hemingway's style influenced me a lot.D.Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.2.阅读理解Lego is considering a brick (积木)rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste. The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable(可持续的) sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives.Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was "totally open" to the idea of a product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem. "What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?" Mr. Brooks added"There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at beginning of that." Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of resources. He said many would "probably never see the light of day" and there was no current plan to try out a rental plan.Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. It produces 19 billion pieces per year—36, 000 a minute—that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic.So far, the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The green trees, plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but make up only 1%-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced. Henrik Nielson, a production supervisor (主管) in Lego's factory, said last year: "We need to learn again how to do this."Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year, with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories. The company has invested more than $100,000,000 and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives. It is aiming to keep packaging out of landfill by 2025.（1）Lego is making great efforts to________.A.promote its brick rental planB.raise its production efficiencyC.explore ways to reduce plastic wasteD.develop new products（2）According to Mr Brooks, Lego's brick rental plan_______.A.is well underwayB.has a long way to goC.is totally uselessD.goes against Lego's interest（3）The writer tells of Lego's stress of reducing plastic waste by means of________.A.figuresB.examplesparisonD.classification（4）What is Lego's attitude towards developing non-plastic alternatives?A.Defensive.B.Determined.C.Disapproving.D.Doubtful.3.阅读理解Anyone who commutes(通勤)by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential backups.Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently.When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become dense(稠密)enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jam. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched. "The goal was to try to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam." said Sebastien Motsch.But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then leveled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole and they found that when ants sense overcrowding they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding(碰撞)with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down. The study is in the journal eLife.Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That's because when it comes to getting from point a to point b as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first Individual ants have tobe more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans-and more like ants.（1）How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?A.By finding out the dense pointsB.Through closer observationC.By controlling the widths of their path.D.By regulating their numbers（2）According to the research, ants can avoid traffic jams mainly because________.A.they follow a special routeB.they level off at high densitiesC.they never stop or slow down on the wayD.they depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds（3）What is the best title of the passage?A.Traffic jamsB.Unavoidable? Not for antsC.Survival of an ant colony.D.Difference between human and ants二、任务型阅读（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）（共1题；共10分）4.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。

AHamburg is in North Germany, and is a place with parks, lakes and canals.Now many visitors arrive by water as the city has become one of Europe's biggest cruise ship ports.Gareth Huw Davies discovers elegant areas of shopping, the highest cafe in town and the area where The Beatles learned their trade.Magical history tourThe biggest sound in music was launched here.The Beatles' time in Hamburg lasted from 1960 to 1962 and the beat goes on around the streets of St.Pauli.The main place is Beatles­Platz, where the Reeperbahn and Grosse Freiheit meet.Metal statues of John, Paul, George, Stu Sutcliffe, and a composite of drummers Ringo Starr and Pete Best, stand on a circle.Poignant peaceSt.Nicholas is a place of calm ruin.The Victorian British architect George Gilbert Scott was asked to restore the church here after a fire, and from 1874 to 1876 its 483ft top was the world's tallest building.In 1943 the church was destroyed by Allied bombs.Small worldMiniatur Wunderland is one of the largest model railways in the world.Some 1,000 tiny trains run on ten miles of track in a perfectly composed landscape of 250,000 miniature trees.The random geographical spread takes in Switzerland, the USA, Italy and France.One section shows Hamburg itself in a useful overview of the city.Power towerHow do you recycle a nine­storey former Nazi defensive tower? It was so strong that even the British Army failed to knock it down in 1947.The solution mixes tourism and green power.The tower has become Europe's largest renewable energy power plant.A museum tells the story of the building—it gave shelter to thousands during wartime bombing.21．Why do many tourists go to Hamburg by ship?A．It's a famous cruise ship port.B．It's well­known for its shipproduction.C．There is no other means oftransportation.D．Visitors now like to take a shipwhen touring.22．Where can people see metal statues of John, Paul and George?A．In St.Nicholas.B．In Beatles­Platz.C．Outside Hamburg.D．Anywhere in Hamburg. 23．Who helped restore St.Nicholas in its history?A．The British Army.B．The Nazi in the world war.C．An architect called Gilbert Scott.D．An American architect namedVictoria.BThe bathroom was one of the few places that technology had not been very successful in entering，but with Japanese smart toilets gaining in popularity around the world，this last bastion is about to fall.And if you're wondering what makes smart toilets so special，just check out the smartest of them all，the Toto Neorest NX2.Quite frankly，there's not a lot this toilet can't do.It automatically lifts the seat as you approach it，and if you program it，it can even heat up the toilet seat instantly，so that your legs don't feel cold when you sit on it.Once you've finished your “business”，you don't need to use toilet paper to clean yourself，as the Neorest is more than happy to do it for you with gentle beams of warm purified water.And since leaving you with a wet behind (屁股) just isn't very practical，the smart toilet also has a built­in dryer.There's no need to grab a can of deodorant (除臭剂) and spray it all around you to cover bad odors as the Neorest NX2 also has its own deodorizer.Toto's “Tornado Flush” has been completely redesigned to not only be more effective in removing waste from the bowl，but also clean the surfaces most difficult to reach.The NX2 uses ionized eWater＋，which is basically electrolyzed water with cleaning and antibacterial functions，and if that doesn't get everything perfectly clean，the ultraviolet light (紫外线) technology certainly will.You'll never have to clean this thing，at least not on the inside，because it cleans itself.And you never even have to touch its lid，as it comes down as soon as you step away from it.But the world's most advanced smart toilet doesn't come cheap.You'll have to pay around $11,000 for it when it hits the US market this summer.Worth it? Certainly，now if only I could afford it.24．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A．Smart toilets are nothing special.B．Bathroom technology used to berare.C．Smart toilets are widespread inJapan.D．The Toto Neorest NX2 isn't asmart toilet.25．What can the Toto Neorest NX2 do for its users?A．Heat up the toilet seat whenprogrammed.B．Lift the toilet seat once they enterthe bathroom.C．Pass them toilet paper once theyfinished.D．Dry them after cleaning them with cold water.26．The NX2 can surely get everything perfectly clean with the help of ______.A．deodorizerB．Tornado FlushC．ultraviolet lightD．ionized eWater＋27．Which of the following statements about the NX2 reflects the author'sopinion?A．It is affordable to him.B．It isn't well worth the money.C．It is well received by Americans.D．Its services don't come at a low cost.CIn an attempt to raise awareness about the ability to turn wastewater into safe drinking water，a brewery (啤酒厂) in Stockholm，Sweden has started a new beer brand made with recycled sewage water (污水)．Called PU：REST，the new beer developed by Stockholm's New Carnegie Brewery together with the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL) and Carlsberg is supposed to convince people that “second­hand water” can be as clean as normal tap water.IVL says that the challenge to get people to drink recycled water is not a technological one，but a psychological one，so what better way to convince consumers of the purity of treated wastewater than using it to create a beer?PU：REST was just born in Sweden on May 25th this year，and it's already being called “crap beer” on social media，but its creators remain hopeful that it will help change the general opinion about recycled wastewater.“The difficulties in getting this relatively efficient method to be used for the production of drinking water is not technical but primarily emotional，” said Staffan Filipsson，project manager at IVL.“The recycled water is as pure and safe as normal tap water，but most people are still skeptical about actual drinking purified wastewater.”Chris Thurgeson，brewmaster at New Carnegie Brewery，described PU：REST as a “crystal clear pilsner”，adding that his company took this challenge because it believes that both producers and consumers must dare to think differently if we are to successfully take care of Earth's resources.PU：REST reportedly has “a very clean and crisp (清爽的) taste”，but judging by the comments left on the New Carnegie Brewery Facebook page，consumers aren't that excited about it.You can now try PU: REST at New Carnegie Brewery's restaurant in Stockholm.Enjoy!28．What's the purpose of developing PU：REST?A．To make the best use of wastewater.B．To reduce the waste of drinking water.C．To prove recycled wastewater is drinkable.D．To appeal to the public to recycle wastewater.29．Why is it hard for people to drink recycled water?A．Because recycling water is no easy job.B．Because they doubt its purity andsafety.C．Because recycling water costsmuch money.D．Because they wouldn't like tochange their living habits. 30．What can consumers' attitude toward PU：REST be best described as?A．Cautious.B．Curious.C．Opposing.D．Unreasonable.31．According to the passage，PU：REST is ______.A．not a new product at allB．created by a Swedish breweryC．intended for special consumersD．at New Carnegie Brewery'srestaurant in StockholmDSometimes, you just can't help it; maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away.Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks.According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands，who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears.Basal tears are the first type.They act as a protective barrier between the eyes and the rest of the world.Next are reflex tears.They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them.Finally, there are emotional tears.“These are released in response to emotional states，” explains Vingerhoets.Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other.“Humans are very complex social creatures，”says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania.“It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others，” she says.Vingerhoets agrees.“I think that the reason why humans shed tears has something to do with our childhood，” he says.“That's the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care.The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person.”Vingerhoets says this_ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals.Tears were a safer way to get attention.“In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help，” he says.Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry.According to Bylsma，there is still much more to discover.“It's surprising，”she says, “how much we still don't know.”32．In the scientist's opinion, crying is ___.A．a sign of human evolutionB．a result of human kindnessC．a cause of personal growthD．a means of relying on each other 33．The underlined phrase “this ability” in the last but one paragraph refers to theability to ________.A．aim tears at someoneB．seek help wiselyC．cry emotionallyD．appeal to other people34．From the passage, we learn that Ad Vingerhoets and Lauren Bylsma ____.A．hold different opinions about the causes of tearsB．think positively of the effects of tearsC．are working together to study tearsD．have learned enough about tears 35．What can be a suitable title for the passage?A．The Types of TearsB．The Components of TearsC．The Science of TearsD．The Opinions about Tears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。

It’s been said that JK Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books (21)________(sit) in one in Edinburgh.Many people spend hours in these places nursing a coffee as they work away on their laptops.But if you’re spending all day buying one expensive coffee after another and (22) ________ (not sell)your first novel yet, the costs can really add up. For those who work outside of a traditional office or just want to take time out, there’s a new alternative in London: a pay-per-minute cafe.You can stay for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee shop. You'll be given a clockwhen you come in to keep time. When you leave, you return the item and pay the bill. The cost of hanging out, eating, working and meeting new people in the place is 3 pence per minute—or £1.80 an hour. The shop’s owner, Ivan Meetin, says: ‘‘Everything is free, (23) ________the time you spend there”. Customers help (24) ________to coffee and cookies. They can also bring their own food to eat when (25) ________ (connect) to the Internet through Wi-Fi.Meetin’s customers clearly are not the types who rush to work with a paper cup (26) ________ (drink) from at their desks.

Each word can onlySnow school closures ‘no harm to learning’Closing schools on occasional days because of bad weather does not damage learning, research shows. The research wanted to find an answer to the winter argument about whether schools should _____31____ to stay open in heavy snow or shut their doors. Seven years of school test data showed no evidence that snow closures negatively affected results. The worst disruption was caused when schools tried to stay open but many staff and pupils were____32_____. The study, carried out by Joshua Goodman, assistant professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School in Massachusetts in the US, was an attempt to ____33_____ the impact of school days lost to bad weather.Almost as soon as the first winter snowflake falls, there are debates about whether schools should be kept open. The study suggests there are _____34____ arguments for them being closed. Prof Goodman was asked by the Massachusetts education department to find out whether there really was any loss to learning from snow closures. Looking at test results in the US state between 2003-10, he found no evidence that pupil _____35____ had been affected when schools were occasionally shut. A former high school teacher himself, Prof Goodman says schools can easily adapt to short-term closures, ____36_____their plans for the rest of the term. Such a clean break seemed to cause less disruption than trying to stay open, when many pupils might not be able to get into school. This creates a knock-on effect of pupils trying to catch up, he says. And this does seem to have a negative impact on results. Prof Goodman says that arguments over a few days of snow closures can often become very “emotional”---and they_____37____ that many pupils miss a greater number of school days through other types of absenteeism, such as____38_____. Such absenteeism by individuals does negatively affect their results, he says, more than an occasional _____39____ closure by the whole school. This good news for pupils wanting an authorised day off was ____40_____ by Prof Goodman: “Closures have no impact. Absences do.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Obviously, I did not feel so ready for the early races in my career as the races we’ve done recently. There is a lot to be said for just gaining experience—just getting out there and getting your feet wet teaches you the right skills and ____41_____ .It’s often not the most____42_____ prepared or the fittest teams but the teams who race intelligently and adapt to unexpected situations that win. To achieve this you have to be_____43____and patient. The only way to develop those _____44____is to get out and race or do long training trips with your team-mates and friends.Adventure races are such a huge ____45_____that when you enter a race you always think, “Am 1 ready? Did I train enough? Did I forget something?” I remember one race in particular, my very first Eco-Challenge and only my second race ever. When I did it, I felt totally _____46____ and unprepared. Most of my fear was due to lack of_____47____ and knowledge. I really had no idea what I was getting in to because I had never done a 24-hour race before. Even so, we won it somehow, and were invited to compete in the Eco-Challenge in Australia.Then we went to Australia and entered the race. We didn’t plan a _____48____ at all, but just ran as fast as possible from the start. Keeping my mouth shut and following my team-mates, I just tried to keep up with my team, who were more experienced than I was. Although we arrived at a few of the check points in first place and were among the top five, I knew we didn't ____49_____ there.______50___ , two of my team-mates decided not to continue the race after just a day and a half. One was feeling ill—he was just too tired to carry on, while another had severe problems with his feet but we had been going so fast that he felt ____51_____asking us to stop so he could take care of his blisters (水泡). The other two of us, feeling fresh still, had to ____52_____ with the rest of our team. Four days later, we watched in____53_____as the winners crossed the finishing line.

A. promised B. requested C. offered D. agreedSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Who wants to be a millionaire? has been one of the most popular television quiz shows in Britain. In the show, the host asks a question and gives the contestant four possible answers. If the contestant gets the right answer, they win the money say £100—and then go on to the next question for, say, £250. The money increases for each question until, if the contestant has answered all the other questions correctly, the prize for the final question is one million pounds.In this extract from a show some years ago, the host of the show is television personality Chris Tarrant. Answering the questions is an ex-army officer, Charles Ingram.TARRANT: What kind of garment is an ‘Anthony Eden’？An overcoat, hat，shoe，tie?INGRAM: I think it is a hat.A cough from the audience.INGRAM: Again Tm not sure. I think it is ...Coughing from the audience.INGRAM: I am sure it is a hat. Am I sure?Coughing from the audience.INGRAM: Yes, hat, ifs a hat.In that show, Charles finally won a million pounds. But something wasn’t quite right. Charles Ingram didn't really seem very sure of himself; he obviously didn't know the answer at first. To many in the audience that night, it seemed as if he frequently repeated an answer as if waiting for a signal.He was.Charles Ingram's wife Diana was in the audience, and so too was a man with the extraordinary name of Tecwen Whittock. He had a bad cough. But a man sitting next to him in theaudience noticed that there was something strange about the cough. It was too loud, and it wasn't very regular. It only happened occasionally, almost as if he was coughing on purpose.He was.The three of them, Charles Ingram, Diana Ingram and Tecwen Whittock, had planned the whole thing. Whittock coughed to tell Charles when he had the correct answer. They began to notice it in the television control room, but at first they didn't believe it. In the end, though, it was just too obvious, and when tapes from the programme were played to a court in London a year later, there was no doubt. Charles and Diana Ingram were guilty of cheating on a game show. They were given prison sentences of 18 months and fined £15,000 each. Tecwen Whittock was sentenced to 12 months in prison and fined £10,000.Did the Ingrams and Tecwen Whittock get an appropriate sentence? How ‘bad' is it to cheat a television quiz show in which winning money is a matter of chance anyway? It is crimes like this that challenge our concepts of what is right and what is wrong, and since administering justice in the courts means that we have to decide on how serious something is (is robbery more or less serious than driving too fast, for example), the case of the cheating Ingrams is an excellent one to consider.56.We can learn from the extract of the show that Charles was his answer.A.pleased withB. surprised atC. sure ofD. hesitant over57.The pronoun “He”（in paragraph 7) refers to__________.A.Charles IngramB. Tecwen WhittockC.the man sitting next to Charles IngramD. the man sitting next to Tecwen Whittock58.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The three people were given the same fine and sentence. 'B.Diana Ingrain let Tecwen know which choice was correct.C.Tecwen told Charles which answer was right by coughing.D.It was the Ingrams that made the first plan for the cheating.59.According to the writer, what is the point of the case?A.It can offer a perspective to judge the severity level of crimes.B.It has been the first cheating case that is related to reality shows.C.It achieved the purpose of having the court reconsider the sentencing.D.It may serve as a warning for those who also want to do the same thing.(B)Read the two people’s quotes below and answer the questions that follow.Dr Michio KakuPhysicist and professor40,000 people will work in spaceDr Michio Kaku is a professor at the City College of New York and a graduate of Harvard University. His book, The Physics of the Impossible, is about how science fiction technology may be possible in the future.‘By 2030, space tourism will almost certainly be common and around 40,000 people willwork in space. A company called the Space Island Group is planning to build an international space station with hotels, research facilities, restaurants and sports arenas (for new zero-gravity sports). Other companies are working on similar projects. And what language will people speak in space? Well, it probably won’t matter because there is likely to be a tiny computer that fits in your ear and translates what you hear into your own language/Ray KurzweilScientist, inventor, author and entrepreneur (企业家)Our brains will merge with machinesMany of Ray Kurzweil’s predictions about the future have come true. For example, in the early 1990s he predicted the growth of the Internet. Now Kurzweil believes that robots and humans will one day merge."The future will be far more surprising than most people realise. By the end of the 2030s, robots will be more intelligent than humans. Before that time, humans and machines will start to merge. We have 100 trillion very slow connections in our brain. Tiny robots (nanobots) will be implanted in our brains to improve our memory and our thinking skills. These nanobots will allow our brains to talk directly to computers, and they will also allow our brains to communicate wirelessly with other brains. Billions of nanobots will also travel through our bodies. They will keep us healthy. As a result, we will be able to live forever.'60.According to Dr Michio Kaku, what will no longer be a barrier for people working in space?A.Time.B. Internet.C. Language.D. Gravity.61.According to Ray Kurzweil, what will nanobots do?A.They will help save some of our memories.B.They will help some parts in our brain work better.C.They will help us develop a logic way of thinking.D.They will help detect what disease we are down with.62.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The future will surprise usB.The development of scienceC.Scientists worried about technologyD.Famous quotes about computers and the Internet(C)Digital assistants with anthropomorphic(拟人的)features, such as Siri, are increasingly common on phones and computers. Developing an emotional relationship with a piece of software can. However, cut both ways. As a study published in Psychological Science by Park Daeun, of Chungbuk National University in South Korea, and her colleagues, shows, one emotion sometimes involved in machine-human interaction is embarrassment.Dr Park and her team recruited 187 participants into their study. To start with each was presented with a series of statements on the changeability of intelligence. These included, “you have a certain amount of intelligence, and you can’t really do much to change it”，and “you can always substantially change how intelligent you are’, . Participants rated their responses to thesestatements on a six-point scale，on which one meant “strongly disagree，’ and six meant “strongly agree'\ The reason for this initial test was that Dr Park knew from previous work that those who believe intelligence to be changeable are comfortable asking for assistance while those who believe it to be fixed often feel ashamed to do so.The initial test done, the researchers presented their volunteers with a second, which involved looking at 16 sets of three words and trying to think of a fourth word that linked them. Sometimes the first three words were accompanied by an unrequested hint. Sometimes they were not.Hints appeared as the written form of the word in question, accompanied by a computer-shaped icon (图标). For half of participants this icon had a humanlike face, and the hint was placed inside a speech bubble originating from that face. For the other half the icon lacked a face and there was no speech bubble. After the final set of words had been displayed, participants were asked to agree or disagree with follow-up statements about their experience, such as 4tit was embarrassing to receive help during the task”, and “others might think I am incompetent(无能的) because I received help during the task”. This time, they quantified their feelings on a seven-point scale, with higher scores representing greater feelings of unease.The researchers found that participants who believed intelligence to be unchangeable felt more embarrassed and more incompetent after the tests. Specifically, those who tended to believe that intelligence is unchangeable were more likely to feel ashamed and embarrassed if the computer icons they had seen giving the hints had had faces and speech bubbles. In contrast, people who strongly believed that intelligence could be changed over time felt the same level of discomfort whether or not the icons had been anthropomorphized.A second experiment, in which a different set of participants were allowed to ask for help rather than having it offered to them at random had similar results. Dr Park therefore concludes that some people do, indeed, seem to wish to avoid losing face by seeking help from an icon that has, well, a face.63.Dr Park and her team’s initial test was intended to__________.A.find out the participants1 opinion of whether intelligence is fixedB.prove the findings of previous work that intelligence changes with ageC.choose from the participants those who are intelligent enough for the testD.highlight those who tend to feel ashamed to reveal how intelligent they are64.Which of the following is TRUE of Dr Park and her team’s second test?A.The participants were asked to sort out the different one among the given words.B.The participants were tested on how they felt about getting help in this way.C.The hints would appear as long as the participants hesitated for some time.D.The hints were given to help the participants how competent they were.65.The first experiment and the second experiment are different in.A.whether participants held the similar beliefs about intelligenceB.whether participants could decide if they need any helpC.whether the help was offered regularly or at randomD.whether the icons are computer-shaped or not66.What can be concluded from the passage?A.More should be done to make digital assistants more human-like.B.People’s idea of intelligence needs to be updated at the moment.C.Embarrassment is among most common emotions people have.D.Digital assistants are sometimes too human to appeal to users.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

Do you have a high marginal propensity(边际倾向）to consume chocolate? Then you might be angered by the diet book, The Economists’ Diet:The Surprising Formula for Losing Weight and Keeping It Off^ from two self-described “formerly fat economists” on how to lose weight.__________A diet is described as a “self-imposed eating-austerity (艰苦朴素）programme”. There is some discussion of people’s general failure to give enough weight to the long-term consequences of their actions. And there is some neat use of the concept of diminishing returns (收益递减).Eat a wide variety of foods and you may always get pleasure from trying something different. But limit your diet and you will soon tire of eating more. 68 The authors think this is more important than exercise since the latter tends to make you hungry; it is easy to undo all the good work of a cycle ride with a snack.Eating less requires you to limit yourself to one square meal (defined as some meat and two side portions of vegetables) a day. The other meals should be very light; a non-creamy soup, a salad or a bowl of non-sugary cereal. If you do end up having a big meal or a treat, then the other meals should be skipped altogether.But the authors are not too prescriptive(规定的) The aim is to find a diet that works for each individual.___________. Only then can you see whether the diet is working.The book is full of perfectly sensible advice, such as avoiding unusual diets, the appeal of “low-fat” foods and the temptation to drink all your calories in the form of fancy drinks, alcohol and sugary coffees. 70 But, as experienced economists, the authors may have realised that, when it comes to diet plans, demand is almost infinite.IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.The dangers of safetyTravelling by road is widely accepted as being the most dangerous way to travel with far more deaths per kilometer than rail, sea or air. In fact, while road traffic injuries represent about 25% of worldwide injury-related deaths, deaths on the road in the UK have been decreasing for some time. We take a look at why the number is decreasing, but why it seems impossible to avoid deaths completely.Over the years, different methods of reducing the number of crashes have been tried. The Locomotive and Highways Act of 1865 introduced the idea of speed limits to the motoring world. Since then, more and more ways of controlling the behaviour of drivers have been introduced, such as one-way streets and traffic signals, as well as compulsory driver testing and licensing. These days, there are many more methods of enforcement, including speed cameras and fines for breaking motor laws.Another solution is to make cars themselves safer in case of an accident. This means the main focus has been on passive safety or crash survival rather than active safety or avoiding crashes. There are many innovations by motor manufacturers, which have made cars safer, such as seat belts, anti-lock brakes and airbags. These improvements have tended to make the driver feel more in control and isolated him/her from the fast-moving and dangerous environment outside the car. It seems strange that as improvements have been made the number of crashes continues to increase.Actually, it is wrong to talk about safe and dangerous cars in this way. The key to this problem is not actually the car, but the driver. In fact, making drivers feel safer is not the solution to the problem, but it is the cause of the problem. As drivers feel safer, it encourages them to drive aggressively and to ignore other road users and therefore increases the number of crashes.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.请调整一下这张桌子，以适应这个孩子的身高。
