Elizabeth was surprised but said nothing.After a silence of several minutes, he came towards her and said. “I have struggled with my feelings, but without success. You must allow me to tell you how much I admire and love you.”Elizabeth, who was unable to believe what she heard, stared, blushed, and was silent.

He spoke well, but unfortunately, he did not speak only of his love for her, he also made it very clear that he did not consider that her family was good enough for him. He explained that it was only because she herself was so unusual that he had decided to ask her to marry him.In spite of her powerful dislike for him, Elizabeth at first felt sorry that she was going to cause Darcy pain. Then, as he continued to insult her family, she began to feel angry. When he at last finished speaking, she said, “I believe that in a situation like this, the lady is supposed to thank the gentleman.

Therefore, bullying must be stopped.The best and most obvious way to stop bullying in schools is for parents to change the way they raise their children at home. Of course, this is much easier said than done and everyone raises their children differently. Bullies, however, come from homes where physical punishment is used and children have been taught that physical violence is the way to handle probl ems and “get their way”. Bullies usually also come from homes where the parents fight a lot, so children have been modeled on such violence. Parental involvement is often lacking in bullies’ lives and there seems to be little warmth.Early intervention (干预) is truly the best way to stop bullying, but parents of the victims or therapists(治疗师) can’t alter the bully’s home environment. Some things can be done at the school level, however. Most school programs that address bullying apply a multi-faceted(多层面的) method to the problem.Hand out questionnaires to all students and teachers and discuss if bullying is occurring. Define exactly what constitutes(构成) bullying at school. The questionnaire is a wonderful tool that allows the school to see how widespread bullying is and what forms it is taking. It is a good way to start to solve the problem.Get the children’s parents involved in a bullying program. If parents of the bullies and the victims are not aware of what is going on at school, then the whole bullying program will not be effective. Stopping bullying in school takes teamwork and concentrated effort on everyone’s part. Bullying also should be discussed during parent-teacher conferences and PTA meetings. Parental awareness is the key.In the classroom setting, all teachers should work with the students on bullying. Oftentimes even the teacher is being bullied in the classroom and a program should be set up to teach about bullying. Children understand modeling behaviors and role-play and acting out bullying situations is a very effective tool. Have students role-playa bullying situation.7. In the author’s opinion, bullies usually _____________.A. have extremely high self-esteemB. know little of the harm of violenceC. look forward to parental involvementD. experience or witness violence at home8. What does the underlined word “alter” in paragraph 3 mean?A. understandB. changeC. removeD. approach9. Paragraph 5 suggests that it’s important to ______________.A. make a punishment program effectiveB. let parents know their children are bulliesC. find the key to improving security at schoolD. make parents conscious of bullying at school10. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to stop bullying in school.B. What leads to violence in schools.C. What parents can do to stop bullying.D. How to comfort those who are bullied.DImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedals (踏板). Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it?” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is sit back and relax.How weird would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car? No crazy driving, no insults, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society in radical ways. There’s no question thatself-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S involve human error. Older drivers and visually- or physically-impaired people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would drastically reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their livelihoods. According to the U.S. Department of Labor. In May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S.The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offerretraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displaced by the new technology. This is similar to what’s happening in the coal and oil industries, a situation that fuels much of the current political discontent in this country.New technologies will, and should, be developed. T his is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the ethical consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.11. What would be the impact of the extensive use of driverless car?A. People would be driving in a more civilized way.B. It would save local governments a lot of money.C. More policemen would be patrolling the streets.D. Traffic regulations would be a thing of the past.12. How would the elderly and the disabled benefit from driverless cars?A. They could enjoy greater mobility.B. They would suffer no road accidents.C. They would have no trouble driving.D. They could go anywhere they want.13. What is the result of the introduction of new technologies in energy industries?A. Political dissatisfaction.B. Retraining of employees.C. Fossil fuel conservation.D. Business restructuring.14. What would be the negative impact of driverless cars?A. The conflict between labor and management would intensify.B. The gap between various sectors of society would be widened.C. Professional drivers would have a hard time adapting to new road conditions.D. Numerous professional drivers would have to find new ways of earning a living.15. What does the author suggest businesses and the government do?A. Keep pace with technological developmentsB. Make new technologies affordable to everyone.C. Enable everyone to benefit from new technologies.D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devices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。

The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk.The children in his neighborhood ran around during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. His parents never told him he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder than others –perhaps he sensed the abilities that seemed to come naturally to others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team ran, only the top seven runners would be chosen. His parents didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team. So he didn’t know.He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day –even the day he had a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. His mother was worried, so she went to look for him after school. She found him running all alone. The sweat ran down his face. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. His parents never told him he couldn’t run four miles with a high fever. So he didn’t know.Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were posted. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. His parents never told him he shouldn’t expect to make the team. They never told him he couldn’t do it. So he didn’t know. He just did it.24. What can we know about Joey as a child?A. He couldn’t walk normally at 8.B. He admired other kids for running.C. The born disability made him anxious.D. He received much medical treatment.25. What’s Joey’s mother’s attitude to his training for the team?A. Sympathetic and anxious.B. Optimistic and encouraging.C. Disapproving with much self-blame.D. Supportive with little expectation.26. Why didn’t Joey’s parents tell him the truth?A. To avoid setting limits to his potential.B. For fear he couldn’t make the team.C. To encourage him to run like other kids.D. In case he would be looked down upon.27. The reason why the author repeats “So he didn’t know.”is_________________A. to draw a conclusion.B. to show the author’s emotion.C. to help the story develop.D. to arouse readers’ interest.CSince 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti（涂鸦)-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals （壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program （MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens are very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. "When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP’s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community （社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals. "The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.28. What can be the best title for the text?A. Hope, One Wall at a TimeB. MAP, a New Company in PhiladelphiaC. Jane, an Excellent Mural ArtistD. Love, from Graffiti Writers to Muralists29. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at?A. Helping the young find jobs.B. Fighting against graffiti.C. Protecting the neighborhood.D. Attracting more visitors.30. How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural?A. By seeking advice from the city government.B. By having discussions with people in the community.C. By learning from the young graffiti writers.D. By studying the history of the city.31. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP?A. Difficult.B. Dangerous.C. Successful.D. Experimental.DThere are many weight loss products, plans and programs available in the market. However, if most of these programs were effective, we would see obesity trends reversing, yet we are witnessing more and more people struggling with weight.Experiences of dieters regaining pre-dieting weight within 5 years are common. Therefore, a fitness program that works over a long period of time is something you should be looking for. Before reaching for your wallet or purse, make sure the program is exactly what it claims to be.Professional endorsement(认可)A good program should not insist on offering pills, injections, powders or similar products that are not endorsed by a medically trained professional. Your choice of programs should have been designed by a medically trained professional.Unrealistic promisesA good program should not make unrealistic promises, such as “To lose 5 pounds in a week, with no exercise!”Therefore, it is advisable to judge whether the promises being made are realistic. The plan should also have a high success rate of weight loss.QualificationA weight loss program should consider the health of the health of the applicants. It should consider their age, medical condition, gender, health background, medications and more, in order to make a plan that meets the needs of every applicant. A good program should include diet and exercise in order to promote permanent and good health.RestrictionA good program should not be overly restrictive（限制）on food allowances. Some programs ask you not to eat foods from the main/nutrient food groups like fruit and vegetables. A successful weight loss plan, for most people, should not involve less than 1,200 calories per day.Cost effectiveA long-term program does not have to cost you lots of money. An effective plan that is reasonably priced can save you a large sum of money that can be spent on other healthy habits. This can in turn improve your lifespan.We provide the best information about weight loss program. For further details please visit the providedlinks.32.

With proper communication, however, you can build bridges between the school and home. 36If you do it properly, this is an excellent way to communicate when you cannot meet with parents face to face.·Put positive communication in the letter, even if you are writing to discuss a problem.37 Even if it is difficult, you must find this positive spin, because it will make the parents more open to what you have to discuss. The general rule is “start with the good, hit them with the bad, then end on a positive note”.·38 _ Express your concern and desire to help. Do not place it completely on their shoulders, as they may resent(厌恶)this action. Show them through the letter that you want to work with them to find a solution.·Ask for a response. You can ask them to write back, sign a part of the letter or give you a call. 39 Be caring, but make sure they got the communication. Remember, your goal is to work together to help their child succeed.·Consider mailing the letter to the parent, rather than sending it home with the student. Some students will intentionally forget to give the letter to their parents, while others will accidentally or purposely lose the letter.40A. Writing a letter to parents is one way to do this.B. If you do not hear from them, you should call themC. Share the problem with the parents.D. Respect parents and never quarrel with them.E. Whenever you meet with problems, you should keep cool.F. Sending it in the mail makes it more certain that it will be received.G. You can do this by pointing out a gain the child has made recently.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）The Power of a TeacherAt the beginning of the second grade, I had just immigrated to Canada and could barely speak any English.I 41 my school’s English learning program, but I felt I was making little progress and was growing increasingly more nervous because nobody could 42 me at school. Making friends, joining clubs, and doing homework were all almost 43 tasks.However, my teacher, Ms. H, was always 44 with me. When I was angry because I could not find the words to ask for help, she would 45 talk to me in a gentle way and instinctively(本能地) 46 , based on my body language, what I wanted, Furthermore, she47 a girl to be my translator and buddy(伙伴), giving me the 48 to form friendships by breaking down language barriers.Best of all, she understood my 49 and helped me to work on my weaknesses. She was one of the few people at school who saw I was not just the dumb 50 girl, but someone who was 51 at math and sciences, despite my pitiful attempts at writing. Instead of 52 simple picture books to me, she 53 to improve my reading skills by presenting me with materials far above my 54 .With her continual 55 , I grew from a frustrated, English-challenged child to someone who loved toread, write, and 56 social activities.

The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk.The children in his neighborhood ran around during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. His parents never told him he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder than others—perhaps he sensed the abilities that seemed to come naturally to others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team ran, only the top seven runners would be chosen. His parents didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team. So he didn’t know.He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day—even the day he had a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. His mother was worried, so she went to look for him after school. She found him running all alone. The sweat ran down his face. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. His parents never told him he couldn’t run four miles with a high fever. So he didn’t know.Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were posted. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the tea. His parents never told him he shouldn’t expect to make the team. They never told him he couldn’t do it. So he didn’t know. He just did it.24．What can we know about Joey as a child? ________A．He couldn’t walk normally at 8.B．He admired other kids for running.C．The born disability made him anxious.D．He received much medical treatment.25．What’s Joey’s mother’s attitude to his training for the team? ________A．Sympathetic and anxious.B．Optimistic and encouraging.C．Disapproving with much self-blame.D．Supportive with little expectation.26．Why didn’t Joey’s parents tell him the truth? ________A．To avoid setting limits to his potential.B．For fear he couldn’t make the team.C．To encourage him to run like other kids.D．In case he would be looked down upon.27．The reason why the author repeats “So he didn’t know.” is ________A．to draw a conclusion.B．to show the author’s emotion.C．to help the story develop.D．to arouse readers’ interest.CSince 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti（涂鸦）-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1 800 murals（壁画）have been painted. Philadelphia now has moremurals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program（MAP）.Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens are very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP’s artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about,” she says, “I answer them with one word: hope.”Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP’s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community（社区）.When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “safe Streets,” “Love and Care,” and “Peace Walk.”The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals. “The making of a mural enters people’s collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history”says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.28．What can be the best title for the text? ________A．Hope, One Wall at a Time.B．MAP, a New Company in Philadelphia.C．Jane, an Excellent Mural Artist.D．Love, from Graffiti Writers to Muralists.29．What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at? ________A．Helping the young find jobs.B．Fighting against graffiti.C．Protecting the neighborhood.D．Attracting more visitors.30．How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural? ________A．By seeking advice from the city government.B．By having discussions with people in the community.C．By learning from the young graffiti writers.D．By studying the history of the city.31．Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP? ________A．Difficult.B．Dangerous.C．Successful.D．Experimental.DThere are many weight loss products, plans and programs available in the market. However, if most of these programs were effective, we would see obesity trends reversing, yet we are witnessing more and more people struggling with weight.Experiences of dieters regaining pre-dieting weight within 5 years are common. Therefore, a fitness program that works over a long period of time is something you should be looking for. Before reaching for your wallet or purse, make sure the program is exactly what it claims to be.Professional endorsement（认可）.A good program should not insist on offering pills, injections, powders or similar products that are not endorsed by a medically trained professional. Your choice of programs should have been designed by a medically trained professional.Unrealistic promisesA good program should not make unrealistic promises, such as “To lose 5 pounds in a week, with no exercise!” Therefore, it is advisable to judge whether the promises being made are realistic. The plan should also have a high success rate of weight loss.QualificationA weight loss program should consider the health of the health of the applicants. It should consider their age, medical condition, gender, health background, medications and more, in order to make a plan that meets the needs of every applicant. A good program should include diet and exercise in order to promote permanent and good health. RestrictionA good program should not be overly restrictive（限制）on food allowances. Some programs ask you not to eat foods from the main/nutrient food groups like fruit and vegetables. A successful weight loss plan, for most people, should not involve less than 1 200 calories per day.Cost effectiveA long-term program does not have to cost you lots of money. An effective plan that is reasonably priced can save you a large sum of money that can be spent on other healthy habits. This can in turn improve your lifespan.We provide the best information about weight loss program. For further details please visit the provided links. 32．What does the underlined word “reversing” in Paragraph 1probably mean? ________A．Increasing quickly in a short time.B．Arranging things in the opposite order.C．Going faster in the same direction.D．Changing to the opposite direction.33．The test mainly contributes to ________A．better understanding of good weight loss programs.B．finding the cause of being overweight worldwide.C．selling more reasonably priced weight loss products.D．helping people avoid overweight by controlling diets.34．Which of the following is true according to the text? ________A．Medically trained professionals usually recommend medicines on purpose.B．No weight loss program can stop you regaining weight within five years.C．Weight loss programs always have to charge a large amount of money.D．We should take in at least 1, 200 calories every day to keep healthy.35．The text is probably taken from ________A．a newspaper B．a textbook C．a magazine D．a website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.How to Write a Letter to ParentsAs a teacher, one of the most difficult parts of your job is working with parents. With proper communication, however, you can build bridges between the school and home. 36If you do it properly, this is an excellent way to communicate when you cannot meet with parents face to face.·Put positive communication in the letter, even if you are writing to discuss a problem.37 Even if it is difficult, you must find this positive spin, because it will make the parents more open to what you have to discuss. The general rule is“start with the good, hit them with the bad, then end on a positive note”.·38 Express your concern and desire to help. Do not place it completely on their shoulders, as they may resent （厌恶）this action. Show them through the letter that you want to work with them to find a solution.·Ask for a response. You can ask them to write back, sign a part of the letter or give you a call. 39 Be caring, but make sure they got the communication. Remember, your goal is to work together to help their child succeed.·Consider mailing the letter to the parent, rather than sending it home with the student. Some students will intentionally forget to give the letter to their parents, while others will accidentally or purposely lose the letter. 40 A．Writing a letter to parents is one way to do this.B．If you do not hear from them, you should call them.C．Share the problem with the parents.D．Respect parents and never quarrel with them.E．Whenever you meet with problems, you should keep cool.F．Sending it in the mail makes it more certain that it will be received.G．You can do this by pointing out a gain the child has made recently.第三部分:英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分）第一节:完形填空（共20小题:每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.The Power of a TeacherAt the beginning of the second grade, I had just immigrated to Canada and could barely speak any English.

Worse still, we have little time to communicate with our parents and friends. Nor do we have time for physical exercise.What shall we do to improve the situation? All of us should be fully aware of the harmful effects of frequent use of cell phones. To begin with, let’s limit our time of playing with cell phones and start other hobbies. What’s more, we should spend more time playing sports, which is beneficial to us. Besides, communicating with our friends is also a good choice to help us relax and get rid of the addiction. I hope that my suggestions will be of help to you.Let’s put down our cell phones and focus on what is happening around us!Let’s take action now!That’s all．Thank you for your listening．。

2020届宁夏银川一中高三英语月考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThree Things to Do Before You Are 18Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18.★Learn to swimSeriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to dowater sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.★Try at least one kind of team sportsBeing a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.★Collect somethingOne of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.1. The most important reason for learning to swim is that ________.A. you might feel wellB. it can make you healthyC. you might easily do lots of thingsD. it can save your life2. The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ________ .A. collect somethingB. do some water sportsC. send letters to your friendsD. play basketball with your friends23. The passage is mainly about ________before you are 18.A. good habits to keepB. skills to haveC. things to doD. sports to playBFor most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists—that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically（愤世嫉俗地）to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.4. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior5. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery6. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow up7. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.CFor years video games have been criticised for making people more antisocial, overweight or depressed. Bui now researchers are finding that video games can actually change us for the better and improve both our body and mind.Games can help to develop physical skills. Pre-school children who played interactive games have been shown to have improved motor skills, for example they can kick, catch and throw a ball better than children who don’t play video games. A study found that those who played video games were 27 percent faster and made 37 percent fewer errors than those who didn't.Games also benefit a variety of brain functions, including decision-making. People who play action-based games make decisions 25 percent faster than others, according to one study. It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second, four times faster than most people. In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind.There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems. At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, researchers asked 94 young people diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many cases, the game reduced symptoms of depression more than conventional treatment.8. In what way playing video games benefits very young children?A. Muscle control.B. Social interaction.C. Decision-making.D. The ability to focus.9. Which type of video game improves the decision-making speed?A. Interactive games.B. Action-based games.C. 3D fantasy games.D. Violent games.10. What is the authors attitude to video games?A. Indifferent.B. Objective.C. Worried.D. Critical.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The effects of different types of video games.B. The negative effects of playing video games.C. The beneficial effects of playing video games.D. The effects of games on people's behavior.DIt is universally acknowledged that renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower are all much better for the climate than fossil fuels.It is true for wind and solar. However, the picture for hydropower is more complicated than we think.A new study by the Environmental Defense Fund analyzed the climate impacts of 1,500 hydropower facilities across the globe. That accounts for about half of hydropower generation worldwide. The researchers looked at whether the facilities behave as a greenhouse gas sink or as a source. To figure this out, they looked into all the different components that help determine a hydropower facility's greenhouse gasemissions (排放).“There are so many contributors to greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower — but essentially, the majority of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the reservoir (水库) itself, as vegetation and soils are submerged underwater in the dam thatis used for the hydropower generation.” said lissa Ocko, a senior climate scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and co-author of the study. As the submerged vegetation breaks down, it releases greenhouse gases such as CO2.“The larger the surface area of the reservoir, the more greenhouse gases are going to be given out from that reservoir. Also, the temperature plays a role as well how warm the reservoir is will affect how much greenhouse gases are produced and given out from the reservoir.” added Ocko.Through their analysis, Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg, also with the Environmental Defense Fund, discovered that the climate impacts of hydropower cover a complete range. The good news is that some facilities perform just as well as wind and solar. But shockingly, more than 100 facilities are actually worse for the climate than fossil fuels. The study is in the journalEnvironmentalScience and Technology.This finding doesn't mean we should forget about hydropower. “But we just need to be careful to make sure that we have climate benefits. There are a lot of situations where hydropower can be equal to wind and solar. So it really depends on the specific facility." said Ocko.12. How do scientists prove hydropower facilities' effect on the climate?A. By making comparisons.B. By conducting experiments.C. By referring to previous studies.D. By analyzing causes and effects.13. What are the main sources of greenhouse gases from hydropower?A. Vegetation and soils.B. Heat and sunlight.C. Pollutants in the reservoir.D. Components of the generators.14. What have Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg found?A The surface area of a reservoir decides the climate.B. Hydropower often influences the climate in all aspects.C. Some facilities perform much better than wind and solar.D. Fossil fuels are worse for the climate than over 100 facilities.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Scientists urge an end to hydropower.B. Hydropower is not necessarily green.C. Hydropower is worse than fossil fuels.D. Renewable energy is a complicated issue.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
