term of the year，begins this year on Nov.22 and ends on Dec.6．Here are five things you should know about Minor Snow．Light snowAn ancient Chinese book about plants explains that "in Minor Snow，the weather is cold and it is going to snow，but the snow is light and the earth is not frozen enough．"Drinking soupDuring Minor Snow，indoor heating begins to work，making most people might find their noses and mouths feel a bit dry．The solution is to drink more hot soup，such as cabbage and bean curd soup，mutton and radish（小萝卜）soup and so on．Eating glutinous（粘的）rice cakesPeople have glutinous rice cakes around Minor Snow，which in ancient times，were a traditional festival offering to the bull god．Making preserved porkAfter Minor Snow，the temperature declines sharply and the air becomes dry．It is the best time to start making preserved pork to eat in the bitter winter，especially in the Spring Festival．In the past，when storage conditions were poor，people developed many ways to store food and preserved pork is one such example，Some even say preserved pork tastes more delicious than fresh meat．Avoiding spicy foodOn cold days，people may be greedy for some hot and spicy food to keep warm．Experts say it's wise not to eat overly spicy food．since that will increase your inner heat．（1）Which of the following is true about Minor Snow？A．It will certainly snow in this term．B．It has the coldest days of the year．C．It's a term used in China's northern areas．D．It is a term concerned with weather in China．（2）Which food is recommended to eat in Minor Snow？A．Cabbage and bean curd soupB．Preserved porkC．CakesD．Spicy food（3）Why did people make preserved pork in the past？A．Because people found it hard to store meat in cold winter．B．Because it was more delicious to eat than fresh meat．C．Because people couldn't afford to buy fresh pork．D．Because nowhere could people buy fresh pork in winter．12．（8分）For many，finding an unattended wallet filled with 400 in cash would be a source of temptation（诱惑）．But the urge would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money，All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith even more remarkable．After spotting a wallet on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down，he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the owner to return．After hours in the cold and wet，he reached inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact the driver，only to discover it contained 400 in notes，with another 50 in spare change beside it．He then took the wallet to a nearby police station．When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the ear，they were shocked to find two policemen standing next to it．The policemen told them what Mr．Smith did and that the wallet was safe．The pair were later able to thank Mr．Smith for his kindness．Mr．Anderson said："I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny．To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight when he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in．This guy has nothing and yet he didn't take the wallet for himself；he thought about others instead．It's unbelievable．It just proves there are honest guys out there．"Mr．Smith's act drew much of the public's attention and won praise from social media users after Mr．Anderson posted the story on Facebook．Now Mr．Anderson has set up an online campaign to raise money for Mr．Smith and other homeless people in the area，which by yesterday had received 8，000．"People have been approaching him in the street；he's had job offers and all sorts，" Mr．Anderson commented．（1）Which of the following can we learn from the passage？A．There was E400 in total in the unattended wallet．B．The police found the owner of the wallet through an ID card．C．John and his colleague thanked Tom Smith later face to face．D．Tom Smith might later get a job offered by kind people．（2）Mr，Andenson's words tell us that ．A．sometimes he didn't have faith in othersB．Tom Smith took some pennies from the walletC．usually the homeless are greedy for moneyD．Tom Smith was always thinking of others（3）Which words can best describe Tom Smith？A．generous and considerateB．kind and honestC．respectful and determinedD．reliable and stubborn（4）What does the passage mainly talk about？A．Kind people assisted a homeless man in their own ways．B．A homeless man returned an unattended wallet to its owner．C．The police helped find out the owner of an unattended wallet．D．Social media played a major role in helping the homeless．13．（8分）Ten minutes of gentle exercise can immediately change how certain parts of the brain communicate and coordinate（协调）with one another and improve memory function，according to an encouraging new study．The scientists invited 36 people of different ages to the lab and had them sit quietly on a fixed bicycle for 10 minutes or，on a separate visit，pedal the bicycle at a pace so gentle that it barely raised their heart rates．It also was short，lasting for only 10 minutes．Immediately after each session of the sitting or slow pedaling，the people completed a computerized memory test during which they would see a brief picture of，for instance，a tree，followed by a variety of other images and then a new image of either the same tree or a similar one．The people would press buttons to show whether they thought each image was new or the same as an earlier shot．The test is difficult，since many of the images closely resemble one another．It requires rapid，skillful scanning recent memories to decide whether a picture is new or known．Next，the scientists had each person repeat this process﹣riding or sitting on the bike for 10 minutes and then completing memory testing﹣but the testing now took place inside an M．R．I．machine（磁共振成像仪）that scanned the people's brains while they responded to the images．Then the researchers compared results，The effects of the exercise were clear，The people were better at remembering images after they had ridden the bike，especially when the images most closely resembled one another．In other words，the harder their memories had to do their best，the better they performed after the exercise．The M．R．I．scans showed that memory parts of each person's brain lit up at the same time with parts of the brain associated with learning，indicating that these physically separate parts of the brain were better connected now than when the people had not first exercised．（1）Which can replace the underlined word in the second paragraph？A．pictureB．filmC．remarkD．scene（2）According to the passage we know that ？A．a ten minutes"exercise is the best method of memorizing things．B．the brain works better when a person frequently exercises．C．exercise can help different parts of the body work together．D．memory function can be improved after gentle exercise．（3）The study result will be most beneficial to ．A．a player competing in bicycle ridingB．a young man crazy about experimentsC．a student preparing for an examinationD．a retired man taking exercise in the park（4）Why does the writer write the article？A．To urge people to exercise before learning．B．To present an inspiring new study result．C．To show how an M．R．I．machine works．D．To prove the good effects of exercise．14．（8分）Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China，especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1．Beijing has thus been expected to follow suit．The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments，property management groups and other organizations．It also gives rules for companies，outlining how they're responsible for waste collection，transportation and treatment．Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities．The long﹣awaited revision will soon change the situation．"Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal，" said Sun Xinjun，director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management．In Shanghai，violators are nowfined up to 200 yuan for trash﹣sorting violations（违背）．The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that，he said．The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009．Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types﹣recyclable waste，kitchen trash， dangerous waste and others ﹣and leave it in a corresponding（相应的）dustbin or trash can．Blue﹣colored dustbins indicate items within are recyclable，green represents kitchen trash，red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste．To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants，authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot．With intelligent devices，those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points，which can be used to buy daily goods．At some communities，there are no color﹣ coded dustbins．Instead，a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment．In other communities，workers offer a door﹣to﹣door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste．Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016，Xinhua News Agency reported．（1）Which of the following shouldn't be thrown into a blue dustbin？A．coke cansB．used booksC．thrown﹣away batteriesD．abandoned iron pots（2）It's known from the passage that ．A．Shanghai carried out garbage sorting later than BeijingB．Green color indicates recyclable waste like deserted clothesC．people sorting recyclable waste will be rewarded throughout Beijing D．citizens are not responsible for garbage sorting in Beijing now（3）What is the best title for the text？A．An Example in Garbage Sorting In Shanghai．B．Action To Be Taken To Sort Gabage In Shanghai．C．Present Garbage Collection In Beijing．D．New Garbage Sorting Regulation In Beijing，（4）Where can you read the article？A．A fashion magazine．B．A science book．C．A government report．D．A newspaper．第二节（共1小题，每小题10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．15．（10分）Many of us choose to live in smaller spaces，especially in big cities，than we'd like owing to the high housing price（1）They're cheaper to decorate，It can take thousands of dollars worth of decoration simply to make a large space look inviting．Small spaces，however，make decorating more simple and affordable．Instead of many pieces of large，expensive furniture，you only need a few to make your style sing．You'll have plenty of money left for other things．They're easier to clean．（2）The bigger the space，the longer it takes to organize and tidy up．No one wants to spend hours just cleaning．That's why small spaces are welcomed by those who like being surrounded by order and cleanliness and don't want to spend a ton of time and energy in keeping them that way．（3）It takes a lot to pay for heating，cooling and electricity，which can also cost much energy，When you compare the electricity bill of someone living in 500 square feet with that of someone living in 3.000 square feet，the difference can be great．（4） So it also does good to our beloved Mother Nature，They're easier to personalize．Ever have you walked into a large home thatfeels more like a museum than the small home of someone you know？It's usually not the most familiar or welcoming atmosphere，Actually，you want your home to show your personal style．（5）A．They are more expensive to live in．B．They're more economical and greener to maintain．C．Living in small homes makes your life more convenient．D．That must be one of your favorite things in such a busy life．E．Less energy is used and less waste is produced in small spaces．F．It is not that bad，however，considering their advantages．G．It is much easier to decorate a small home in your own style．第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项．并在答题纸上将该题涂黑．16．（30分）I first began experiencing anxiety and depression at the age of

The 30-year-old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.“You need more role models,” he said, standing among knee-high rows of chilli (辣椒) plants. “If you have young farmers, they have land and they drive to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can’t I do that?’”Mr. Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend’s tomato farm six years ago for $ 150. He made $ 1, 500 back in two months. “You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real num bers,” he said.Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in fields — a job made tougher by climate change.But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to makeagric ulture’s image on the continent more attractive. Some 1, 000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India and Kenya.Africa has the world’s youngest population and 65 percent uncultivated arable land (耕地后备资源).Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer,” said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of itsold-fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people with tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems smartphones,” she said.Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station , then to be separated from the husks (外壳).4．What does “Why can’t I do that?” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Why can’t I drive to the farm?B．Why can’t they farm?C．They follow the example of those farmers.D．They bought a friend’s tomato farm.5．What makes it harder for farmers to work?A．Poor land.B．Climate.C．Low income.D．Long working hours.6．What can we learn about Twahirwa according to Paragraph 5 ?A．He made a fortune by growing chillies.B．His chillies are try growing chillies.C．Farmers working for him live a simple life.D．The locals aren't willing to buy his chillies.7．When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it?A．Loans are difficult.B．Most land is uncultivated.C．Crop yields are rather lowD．Farming methods are out of dateWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more sofor some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program for Auckland elementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the progra m’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at th e world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.8．What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?A．A digital teacher taught them.B．They first saw something digital.C．This was the start of a new school year.D．They could get close to smartphone screen.9．What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A．It can smile back.

D．Disapproving.11．What might be the best title for the passage?A．New High-tech Contributes to EducationB．The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C．The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD．New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in ClassroomsA large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is e ver completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible appro ach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.12．From the studies in the passage we learn that .A．people have unlimited self-controlB．high motivation ensures one’s successC．willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD．too many temptations often lead to failure13．The underlined phrase “tap into” in Pa ragraph 3 most probably means . A．make use of B．run out ofC．build D．increase14．The author compares self –control to muscles .A．to prove the long-term effect of willpowerB．to show the significance of regular exerciseC．to argue that self-control can he easily used upD．to explain the benefits of practicing self-control15．To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A．“I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B．“I will set three goals this new semester.”C．“I will read an English novel every month.”D．“I will keep myself from any temptation.”二、七选五How to Become an Activist (活动家)Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing something about it. 16．If you are interested in it you can do so.17．This could be anything from a student club to a national organization (like the American Civil Liberties Union or the National Organizers Alliance). Most activist organizations offer different levels of involvement, so you can do whatever you feel most comfortable with, whether that means attending meetings and demonstrations or just donating a little money when you can.V olunteer your time. One of the best ways to make a difference is to volunteer your time. Reach out to organizations in your community that do work for your cause, and ask how you can help.Donate money or supplies.18．If you can’t afford to donate money to an organization thatsupports yours cause, you may be able to donate other thing, they need, like clothing or canned food.Reach out to family and friends. Tell your family and friends about your cause, and invite them to get involved. If they are interested, share literature about your cause or just talk to them about what you have learned.19．Promote your cause on social media. You can use social media to help keep your friends and followers informed about the causes you support.20．Also, you can invite your friends to attend events or donate to fundraisers for your cause.A．Take classes on issues related to your cause.B．Join an organization that supports your cause.C．They are driven by passion and a vision for a better future.D．If you do volunteer work, invite them to volunteer with you.E.Most activists or charitable organizations need resources to do their work.F.Post useful articles and write about what you are doing to stay involved.G.If you can’t reach out `to them in person, then try connecting to people online.三、完形填空Two years ago, my friend and I were at college.

How could we show them our appreciation?We decided to make a large pot of hot 32 .

A72 hours in BeijingTraveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing Here's a pick of the best in Beijing! Mutianyu Great WallYour trip to Beijing isn't really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”, the Great Wall of China, The Mutia nyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half-day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.798 Art ZoneThis would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.Summer PalaceLocated in northwestern Beijing, th e Summer Palace is by far the city’s most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998. Sichuan Provincial RestaurantWhile in Beijing, apart from trying the city’s best-known Peking duck, the Sichuan provincial restaurant is one of places where you can enjoy regional delicious food.

It’s based upon NPS Operational L eadership Training, where the human factor of safety is explored.

What can be inferred about the job of NPS Trail V olunteers?A. It is popular with everyone.B. It can be dangerous.C. It shall be completed online.D. It needs NPS working experience.C“Anything you want, anytime you need it.”The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked – it was a househol d name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop makingtrouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?A. An invitation to a company opening.B. The website address of a new company.C. The words “Anytime:Starting tomorrow”.D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.D. So people would find the new company interesting.30. What did Chris’ s research suggest about Anytime?A. It may be very dangerous.B. Its popularity would soon decrease.C. It was doing business all over the world.D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?A. Scared that he would get into trouble.B. Confident that he would find the truth.C. Nervous about what the company would do.D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company’s secret.DConnecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message —“K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few wordshere. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediate ly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32. What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?A. He is a businessman with a bad temper.B. He complains about social manners.C. He can’t bear one- word messages.D. He dislike a busy business life.33. According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?A. John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.B. Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.C. Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.34. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.B. People use their own slang and customs.C. There are large quantities of written rules.D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.35. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?A. To obey their own digital communication rules.B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.C. To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.D. To keep pace with digital communication development.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。

ABeyond Facebook: The best travel social networks you need to knowWhen it comes to picking a destination for your next big vacation or even your next meal, nothing beats a personal recommendation from someone who has already made the trip. While you don’t always hear a ton about social networks for travelers, there are a number of great ones out there that can help you make those difficult decisions, and perhaps a few new friends in the process.1.WaynSometimes we can all benefit from a little inspiration. With Wayn, you search for new travel destinations based on the type of activities you’d like to do. For instance, you might type in skiing or diving and get suggestions on where the best places are to visit. Already know where you want to go? You can also search by destination and get tips from locals on what to do while you’re there.2.HellotelBusiness travel often means lonely travel. Hellotel creates a localized social n etwork around the hotel you’re staying in, allowing you to connect with other nearby travelers(or locals) to grab a drink or do a little networking. Have a specific need? You can also ask the group questions about everything from restaurants to transportation options and get answers in real time.3.TroverA picture is worth a thousand words. Explore some of the world’s most exciting travel destinations through the photos of other travelers.

Carbon capture isn’t new, but previous methods call for the gas to get into a liquid and then the mixed gas is forced into underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been blocked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their lasting and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst（催化剂）that is useful in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is then mixed in a container with some liquid and the liquid metal. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperatures, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further options when it comes to carbon storage.In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode(电极），which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Esrafilzadeh, a Vice-Chancellor’s Research Fellow in RMIT’s School of Engineering. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”24.What can we know about the previous methods?A.T he previous methods are not very popular.B.T he previous methods can be done easily.C.P eople have to inject a liquid to the gas.D.P eople made mistakes by previous methods.25.What is the special part of the new method?A.I t can produce much solid carbon.B.I t can be done in any kind of container.C.I t doesn’t need extreme temperature.D.I t needs electricity to make the progress.26.We can predict from the last paragraph that the new method_________.A.w ill be influenced by natureB.w ill influence the future industryC.w ill be used to make new vehiclesD.w ill make all the countries powerful27.What is the best title for the passage?A.A new method to increase CO2B.A new carbon capture technologyC.A new technology to get useful carbonD.An Australian advanced carbon batteryCThose of you who are bad at math may some day be able to improve your skills through a painless method of electrical brain stimulation(刺激).In a study, neuroscientists at Oxford University reported that adults with normal math abilities were able to improve their performance on a series of numerical tests with the help of a technique known as transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS).TDCS involves stimulating specific regions of the brain with low-level electrical currents to improve or reduce the activity of neurons (神经细胞). Over the last decade, the procedure has shown promise in improving brain functions in stroke (中风) victims, as well as in people with Parkinson’s disease. But this is the first study toshow that TDCS can help healthy individuals do better on math tests.For the study, Cohen Dosh and his colleagues studied 15 student volunteers. The students were asked to learn a series of artificial numbers. “As our aim is eventually to help children when they are experiencing learning difficulties with numbers, we wanted the adult subjects to learn new materials rather than testing them with materials that they already knew,” Cohen Dosh explained.His team tested the participants’ ability to judge the relationships of the artificial numbers to one another and to map them correctly in space using standard testing methods for numerical ability.The results of the tests showed that the brain stimulation improved the participants’ ability to learn the new numbers and that those improvements lasted for six months. Control tests showed that the effect was specific to the learned symbols and did not affect other cognitive(认知的) functions.“Like many good studies, it opens a window for lots of questions, including ‘Will this work on children?’ and ‘Is it safe to use in children?” said Dr. Edwin M. Rober tson.“Our aim is to find a way to improve cognitive treatment by coupling it with harmless and painless brain stimulation,” said Cohen Dosh. “The experiments that we are doing have been designed to improve leaning disabilities, but of course they can be u sed by others to improve average math performance, and we don’t have any control over that.”28.According to the text, TDCS has been applied in the field of _______.A.physicsB. psychologyC. educationD. medicine29.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to _______A.the artificial numbersB. the adult subjectsC. the new materialsD. the learning difficulties30.The attitude of Dr. Robertson toward Dosh’s technique is _______.A.neutralB. excitedC. indifferentD. disapproving31.What is the main idea of the text?A.A way has been found to improve the math skills of adults.B.Teacher can stimulate the math skills of students with electricity.C.Electric shocks may reduce one’s ability to calculate.D.Math skills improve with electrical brain stimulationDI grew up in a family that loved Halloween and eagerly accepted seasonal opportunities to create numbers of scary situations. There was something in the tacit(默认的) agreement about being scared on Halloween that made it okay to take things to another level. Whether for front yard decorations or the theatrical, haunted(闹鬼的) house we ran, the people stepping up knew what they were in for.Our haunted house had an age restriction against children 12 and under. The restriction was not only meant to protect kids with big imaginations, but it could also let the adults in the group enjoy the experience without having to watch out for younger ones with them. Even so, we had adults get scared. One woman crawled out in a mid-show. But e veryone knew that, if at any point they got too scared, they just had to say, “I want out.” A penlight would turn on, one of us would grab onto their arm, and we would lead them off into the dark---ten seconds and done. Then the person stepped into the light of the basement stairwell, having an early teenage version of someone like me pull off a black mask and ask if they were okay.The goal was never to make them feel bad; it was to make them feel comfortable. If they seemed calm enough, sometimes we asked if they wanted to join back up in the last room. We would give a very basic description of what would happen. Some of them didn’t, but some of them did. There was no point in trying to convince someone who no longer wanted to be scared. Everyone deserves to get a chance to enjoy the day in theirown way and on their own terms.32.Why did the writer’s family place an age restriction?A.To help the adults have a great time.B.To prevent kids from imagining fiercely.C.To protect people from the haunted house.D.To help the adults watch out for younger kids.33.If a man was too afraid, what could he do?A.Turn on a penlight.B.Run out of the house.C.Lead others into the dark.D.Say that he wants to go out.34.Which word can best describe the purpose of the activity?A.BadB. Just so-soC. Human-basedD. Childish35.Which of the following would be the best title for this text?A.An Exciting HalloweenB.Scary Situations That I RememberC.Be Afraid, but Only If You Want to BeD.Is It Important to Convince Someone?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。

He made$ 1, 500 back in two months. “You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers,Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a longtime in fields — a job made tougher by climate change.But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculturethe continent more attractive. Some 1, 000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farmof his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India and Kenya.Africa has the world’s youngest population and 65 percent uncultivated arable land (耕地后备资源).Yetaccessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of theinternational average.“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer,”Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old-fashioned image of very hardand tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people with tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systemssmartphones,” she said.Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example,in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station , then to be separated from the husks(外壳).4. What does “Why can’t I do that?” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Why can’t I drive to the farm?B. Why can’t they farm?C. They follow the example of those farmers.D. They bought a friend’s tomato farm.5. What makes it harder for farmers to work?A. Poor land.B.

Most land is uncultivated.C. Crop yields are rather lowD. Farming methods are out of dateCWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementaryschool students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is justordered to come.an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, whenThe autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system,allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’sa free program for Auckland elementary schools.“Be sustainable with energy”—Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ resp Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but alsopicks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-wayinteraction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monit their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of thelot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich,next generation. He says, “I have aeducational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says,was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creativeand different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it beco is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.8. What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?A. A digital teacher taught them.B. They first saw something digital.C This was the start of a new school year.D. They could get close to smartphone screen. .9. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D.

What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD. New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in ClassroomsDA large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Mostof the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower bestrengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make itstay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “outof sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found officeworkers less attracted to candy inthe desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question.When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved forfuture demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even whenour self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-atleast to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researcherswho study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there isanother aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the shortterm, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-controlmay improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on Newreduce willpower in other areas,Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area canso it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit sm healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Oncea good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.12. From the studies in the passage we learn that .A. people have unlimited self-controlB. high motivation ensures one’s successC. willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD. too many temptations often lead to failure.13. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. make use ofB. run out ofC. buildD. increase14. The author compares self –control to muscles .A. to prove the long-term effect of willpowerB to show the significance of regular exerciseC. to argue that self-control can he easily used upD. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control15. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”C. “I will read an English novel every month.”D. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”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。

I bend over in my neighbors’ front yard, check that nobody is watching, then bury my head in the flowers.I’ve also been walking into bakeries and walking around without buying anything.After having surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven’t been able to smell or t aste things. This week, however, my nose is back in business.I’ve been fascinated by smells, and it’s given me a new way of thinking. Smell is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was 5 months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back and giggled (傻笑). He’d never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughed at theweather?The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.Do you recall when you learned that the voice actors of Mickey and Minnie Mouse were married in real life? Do you enjoy sleepi ng in new, clean bed sheets? We don’t write postcards about the small things.We don’t frame them in photographs.They aren’t that great or grand, but w ithout them, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive.As my sense of smell returns to me, it’s like I’m smelling things for the first time. They’re full of memories and magic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There’s an itch (痒) I can’t reach!4. What does the writer try to do in the first two paragraphs?A. Discuss new ways to enjoy leisure time.B.

Her sense of smell.D. Laughing at the weather.7. Which word can be used to d escribe the writer’s feeling while writing the passage?A. Depressed.B. Pleased.C. Disturbed.D. Annoyed.【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. BCLouise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career, since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. And on Oct 8 she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored “for her unmistakable poeti c voice that, with plain beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing from her life, “she is not to be rega rded as a confessional poet (告白派诗人). Gluck seeks the universal,” Nobel Committee Chair Anders O lsson said in a statement.Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and loneliness. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be “dark”. However, the re is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. “It is straightforward and a voice full of humor and biting wit,” he said.For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leadsreaders down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel the “raw wind of the new world” as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck’s poetry, being ab le to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time.When her work Faithful Virtuous Night received a National Book Award for Poetry in2014, a judge for the award went on to say, the collection comes from “a world where darkness blurs (使模糊) ordinarily sharp edges around the oppositions of our lives－loss and renewal, male and female, the living and the dead”.Although she’s already a well-known writer, experienced in exploring pain and healing,Gluck did feel honored to be given the Nobel award. However, when asked what the prize means to her, the poet responded by saying, “It’s too new... I don’t know really what it means.” Her only hope is that she can continue her daily life.8. What can we know about Louise Gluck?A. Her first book was published in 1993.B. The Wild Iris won her the Nobel Prize in literature.C. She draws from her life experiences in her writing.D. She is seen as a successful confessional poet.9. What does Olsson think of Gluck’s poems?A. They focus on individual existence.B. They are too dark for readers.C. They are mainly about human psychology.D. They are frank and humorous in style.10. Why does the author mention Snowdrops in paragraph 4?A. To introduce the main plots of this poem.B. To describe Gluck’s crea tivity in c hoosing themes.C. To show the features of Gluck’s poetry.D. To explain Gluck’s purpose in writing Snowdrops.11. How does Gluck feel about winning the Nobel Prize in literature? A. She is not qualified for the prize. B. It is not meaningful for her. C. It may influence her daily life. D. The history of the award isn’t long.【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. C D From the moon to Mars, scientists have been hunting for alien life in the solar system for decades.

But a recent discovery of traces of a gas in the clouds of Venus has excited astronomers, as it may serve as a potential sign of life.On Sept 14, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada announced that scientists have detected phosphine (磷化氢) in the clouds of Venus. Phosphine is a colorless, poisonous gas that has a smell of garlic. Though poisonous, it is viewed as a possible sign of life because on Earth the gas is made by microorganisms that live in oxygen-free environments.“I was very surprised, in fact,” astronomer Jane Greaves of Cardiff University in Wales and lead author of the research, told MSN. “There is a chance that we have detected some kind of living organism in the clouds of Venus.”This layer of clouds is about 48 kilometers above the Venus surface, with its temperature ranging from 30 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (about -1 to 93 oC). Scientists have concluded that if life exists on V enus, the clouds are likely the only place where it would survive.Scientists went through every possibility that could have led to the formation of phosphine gas in Venus’ clouds, including volcanoes, lightning strikes, small meteorites (陨石) falling intothe atmosphere. But they ruled all of them out. It was concluded th at there is no explanation for the existence of this gas in Venus’ clouds, other than the presence of life, USA Today reported.Although the detection of phosphine is not solid evidence for life, this finding is great enough to change scientists’ view on Venus, which is thought to b e a completely inhospitable (不适合居住的) planet.12. What is the text mainly about?A. A newly detected gas may indicate possible existence of life on Venus.B. Scientists found the best place on Venus for humans to live.C. The environment on Venus changed in favor of life.D. Phosphine formed on Venus means alien life is present.13. What can we learn about phosphine from the text?A. It has no smell at all.B. It only exists on Venus.C. It can be produced by microorganisms.D. It is a sign of the existence of oxygen.14. What can we infer from paragraphs 4 and 5?A. Various living organisms have been detected on Venus.B. The higher the cloud is above Venus, the warmer it is.C. The clouds are rich in phosphine.D. If life exists on Venus, it is likely in the clouds.15. What did scientists conclude about the phosphine gas detected on Venus?A. It could be formed as a result of the falling of meteorites.B. It could be a sign that there is life in Venus’ clouds.C. It could be caused by volcanoes and lightning strikes.D. It proves that Venus is another habitable planet.【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15.

高考英语五模试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共12小题，共24.0分）AKieron Graham has known from a young age that he was adopted．While he loves his adoptive family，he has always wondered about his birth mother and brother．When his adoptive mom gave him a DNA test tool，they both hoped it might lead to his birth family．But neither guessed it would work so quickly，or that when it did，Graham would learn he and his long-lost brother may have crossed paths every day．It took just one week from the time Graham，a college student at Georgia's Kennesaw State University，received his DNA results on Ancestry．com for him to connect with his brother．Graham's DNA results showed that his closest match was a man named Vincent Ghant，and it turned out Ghant lived just a few minutes away．Graham reached out and learned that the two were in fact long-lost brothers．Their mother，Shawn Ghant，made the difficult decision to place Kieron in adoptive care when he was just a baby．And she has worried and wondered about her youngest son ever since．Graham has since been reunited with his mother and both of his brothers on his mother's side．"It's all surreal（离奇的），too many emotions to describe exactly what I'm feeling about the entire situation，but it's a good situation，" Graham tells MNN．As fate would have it，Kieron and Vincent are both students at Kennesaw State．They even have the same major：political science．So it's a safe bet the two crossed paths many times over the past three years．And now，thanks to some DNA sleuthing（筛查），the two will cross paths many more times in the years to come．"We're getting together on Christmas with everyone，birth mother included，" Graham says．"That's sure to be a very indelible Christmas indeed，which will always be treasured by us．"1.According to the passage，Graham ______ ．A. is quite familiar with his birth familyB. relied on a website to find his birth familyC. happens to be working in Ancestry．comD. is studying engineering in the state university2.What can we infer from the third paragraph？______A. It was hard for Shawn to place her son in adoptive care．B. Graham has three adoptive brothers on his mother's side．C. It was too difficult for the whole family to get united．D. Shawn Ghant loves her older sons more．3.What does Graham probably think of his experience？______A. Unbelievable and exciting．B. Surprising but common．C. Undoubted and inspiring．D. Moving but painful．4.What does the underlined word "indelible" in the last paragraph mean？______A. Normal．B. Silent．C. Traditional．D. Unforgettable．BAn international group of coffee experts has considered Ethiopia's coffee as the best in the world．Coffee is a top export of the country．But at home，it is seen as national pride．Ethiopians feel good about their coffee，and enjoying a drink with friends is a long tradition．International coffee experts travel the world to find the best coffee．They keep returning to Ethiopia．Some people say the climate produces quality beans．Morton Wenner is a coffee importer．He said，"Ethiopia has different ancient types of coffee．They are planted in places with perfect soil，perfect altitude，and climates that are really suitable for coffee processing，such as drying and things like that．"Finding the best quality beans is often an issue of taste．The process is known as cupping - tasting and comparing coffee from different roasted beans，grading and then pricing them．But before international experts come to taste，coffee beans are studied in small coffee laboratories．Helen Assefa，a lab technician，describes the process，"When the coffee comes to the lab，we assess its quality first by recording the details．Then we weigh the wetness level and screen the beans for analysis．After that we polish the coffee beans and taste the samples．At the end we check for imperfect beans．"Ethiopia is making big profits on its coffee reputation by exporting coffee to more than 120countries．The country has an export income of more than ﹩840 million a year．But not allthe best coffee leaves Ethiopia．Forty percent of the coffee grown in the country stays there．It remains an important part of everyday life at work，at home and at ceremonies just to celebrate that special cup．5.Where does the Ethiopian's pride mainly come from？______A. Traditional practices．B. Food export．C. International experts．D. Best coffee．6.Ethiopia produces best coffee because of ______ ．A. the special coffee tasteB. the long-standing traditionC. the satisfactory mild climateD. the favorable growing environment7.Which of the following describes the process of studying coffee beans in the lab？______a．polish and tasteb．weigh the dampness levelc．record quality factsd．analyze the beanse．check for imperfectionA. d-c-b-a-eB. c-b-d-a-eC. e-c-a-b-dD. c-d-a-b-e8.What can we learn from the last paragraph？______A. Coffee is essential in Ethiopians' daily lives．B. Coffee is the most profitable industry in Ethiopia．C. Most of the coffee production remains in Ethiopia．D. Ethiopians often hold ceremonies to celebrate harvest．CWhen you think of a jungle adventure, what comes to mind? Are they gorgeous birds flying through the air or monkeys jumping through the forest? Do you think of plants? Probably not. After all, plants aren't the most exciting living things in the world. They just sit there and absorbwater and nutrients from the soil and the sun. But actually there are also some plants that eat insects and even small animals from time to time. We call these unusual things carnivorous (食肉性) plants. Although most carnivorous plants eat small insects, larger carnivorous plants in some hot and wet areas have been known to capture rats, birds, and frogs.One carnivorous plant many people are familiar with is the Venus flytrap. Its unique "jaws" will function when flies and other small insects touch it. Once its jaws close on its victim, it produces a chemical substance that breaks down the insect and absorbs the insect's nutrients.There are several other examples of carnivorous plants. For example, some plants can catch insects with their leaves, which are like a tall narrow wineglass, while some trap their victims with sticky tentacles (触手). And some growing in ponds and streams absorb their victims like underwater cleaners. Carnivorous plants tend to grow in areas where the soil is very thin and lacks necessary nutrients. These plants must find other sources for the nutrients they need.Trapping and eating insects allows these unique plants to survive. Unfortunately, human and environmental factors continue to threaten the limited environments where you can find wild carnivorous plants.Still for many people, the thought of a plant eating an animal seems very strange. In fact, more than one person has turned the idea into a scary story or movie. Carnivorous plants don't pose any danger to humans, though. Unless you're the size of a tiny insect, you don't have to worry about falling prey to a Venus flytrap.9.What can we learn about the Venus flytrap?A. It produces a special smell to attract insects.B. It is the most important carnivorous plant.C. It catches insects with its unique "jaws".D. It is a kind of poisonous plant.10.Why do carnivorous plants hunt animals for food?A. They try to reduce the harmful insects.B. They help keep the balance of nature.C. They need some nutrients to survive.D. They enjoy the taste of animals.11.What's the challenge faced by carnivorous plants?A. Trapping and eating them from human beings.B. Poorer environments to live in.C. Threats from bigger animals.D. Limited choices of food.12.What can be the best title for the passage?A. Human's influence towards insectsB. Potential dangers in the jungleC. Plants that eat living thingsD. Various survival skills of plants二、阅读七选五（本大题共7小题，共16.0分）Springtime In ParisDeparture：May 5，12，19 and June 94 days for £129 per personParis in the springtime was，is and always will be something rather special．Why not experience it for yourself with this excellent break for four days？This attractive city has something to offer everyone and with prices at just ￡129，it's great value too．Your break begins with executive coach transfer from regional pickup points and travel to Paris is via cross-channel ferry，arriving at your hotel in the evening．The hotel is an excellent quality one with private facilities in all rooms：satellite TV，radio，telephone and alarmclock．It has a bar and restaurant and is situated about two miles south of Notre Dame enabling you to explore Paris with ease．The following day，after continental breakfast（included），the coach takes you on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city，during which you will see the Eiffel Tower，Champs Elysees，L'Arc de Triomphe，the Louvre，and in fact almost every famous landmark you have ever heard of．You then leave Paris and take a short drive to the magnificent Palace of Versailles，the home of Louis XIV．The tour ends mid-afternoon back in Paris where you will have the remainder of the day at your leisure．In the evening there is a "Paris By Night" tour showing you the beautiful buildings with bright lights．Day three takes you to Montmartre，perhaps the most picturesque of Paris and home of the Saere Coeur and the Moulin Rouge．In the afternoon you are free to explore this beautiful city as you wish，perhaps a pleasure voyage on the River Seine，wander around the picturesque gardens or look through among the antique shops．In the evening you will have the opportunity to visit the best nightclub in the city，the splendid Paradis Latin．On the final day we're back to the U．K．via channel ferry．Included in the price of ￡129 per personReturn executive coach travel to ParisReturn ferry crossings3 nights accommodation in a twin bedded room in a Central Paris hotel with private facilities Continental breakfast during your stayGuided sightseeing tour of "Paris By Day" and "Paris By Night"Visit to Chateau of Versailles （admission not included）Tour on MontmartreServices of an experienced bi-lingual tour guide at all times（1）During the stay in Paris，the tourists will have ______ ．A．free time for more than half a dayB．a "Paris By Night" tour on the first eveningC．a pleasure voyage on the River Seine togetherD．a chance to live in a hotel two miles away from Paris（2）Which of the following can we learn about the travel schedule from the text？______ A．The tourists will return on June 9．B．The tourists may set off on May 12．C．The tourists may explore Notre Dame in depth．D．The tourists will spend one night in Paradis Latin．（3）After paying ￡129，the tourists will have to pay ______ ．A．the continental breakfastsB．the tour on MontmartreC．admission ticket to Chateau of VersaillesD．services of a bi-lingual tour guide13.

But is "boredom" senseless? My friend Renee, who has driven cross-country with her three kids eight times, calls boredom the mother of creativity. She's not the only one who sees virtue in blank time. In a recently published paper, researchers at East Anglia University in England concluded that the trancelike (发呆的) state helps recharge the mind and is “central to learning and creativity". I wasn't trying to make my kids smarter. Neither do I dislike high-tech. But I understand too well the power of mini screens to transform our kids into zombies (木讷的人).On Day 1, our 7-year-old son announced “Texas is so boring!The next day, struggling against his seat belt, he yelled he couldn? t take much more of this. His 5-year-old sister was better at the long hours playing make-believe with the stuffed animals. On Day 3 he began to count mountains and see pandas and dolphins in distant clouds in the Texas sky. I often joined the kids in the back, where we did thumb-and-toe wrestle. With well-known mountains ahead, my husband told the children the past legends of them. u Arizona is not as boring as Texas," our son declared.I hope the trip gave kids some lazy, unstructured time to learn something about valuing the trip instead of looking for the fastest way to burn it up. I don't always make the right call as a parent but I know that in banning the small screen we made the right choice this time.24.Why did the author choose a high-tech free journey?A.Her friends are highly against it.B.She disliked advanced technology.C.She feared the passive influence of mini-screens.D.The researchers proved the harm of modern technology.25.What happened during the cross-country drive?A.Their son got worse at boredom.B.Her kids had a tough time riding in the vehicle.C.Their son relieved himself by watching animals outside.D.The time spent without screens strengthened the family bond.26.The underlined part "the fastest way" in the last paragraph refers to .A.the speediest route to finish the journeyB.the ability to observe the surroundingsC.the interest of playing games with othersD.the choice of killing time by playing digital devices27.Which is the best title for the text?A.Is Driving Long Distances Good for Children?B. A Touching Cross-country Trip of My FamilyC.What's Wrong with Boredom without High-tech?D.Creative Kids out of Parents' Reasonable ChoiceCMaybe you pop vitamins supporting brainpower, or stock up on these foods that boost brain health. But new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology suggest there's something better you can do to keep your mind sharp.A quarter of adults aged 80 to 84 experience mild cognitive （认知的）impairment, according to AAN. To address the widespread problem, a group of neurologists and Alzheimer?s （6可尔兹海默氏症的）specialists went through existing studies to define the best ways to prevent and treat cognitive decline 一and you might be surprised by what they included and what they didn't.Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines don ' t include any medication （药物）or dietary recommendations. The authors stress that there haven?t been any high-quality, long-term studies finding foods or medication can help cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors can consider suggesting cognitive training to patients with memory loss but not to rely on it. So far, the report authors say the evidence is too inconclusive to say for sure if brain exercises? like memory and attention training or problem-solving for everyday issues associated with memory loss, are beneficial. Still, these morning brain exercises can't do any harm.But there was one big discovery from the new guidelines: Exercising just twice a week could improve cognitive decline. One study showed adults with mild cognitive impairment who did resistance training twice a week scored better on executive function and associative （联想的）memory tests than a group that worked on balancing, stretching, and relaxing.What's more, another study had older adults attend either biweekly health classes or sessions of aerobics? strength training, balance exercises? and multitasking training. Six months later, the ones who'd exercised regularly scored better on cognitive health and memory tests, plus had less brain shrinkage.AAN now recommends doctors tell patients with memory loss to exercise twice a week to keep their minds sharp. This is the best time to exercise if you want to improve your memory. It looks like you've got just one more reason to clear time in your schedule for a workout — even if it's only on the weekends.28.What does the underlined word “impairment" in paragraph 2 refer to?A.

Health.DClothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers （零售商）are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shoppers.But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated （调查）this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.Take shipping, for example 9 which has to go two ways if an item is rented 一- receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.She writes, “An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased froma physical store and washed and worn at home is 33. 4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's."Then there?s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services? this usually means drycleaning ,a high-impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene （氯乙烯），a carcinogenic （致癌的）air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives? although these aren't great either.Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appedte for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There?s something called “share-washing" that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco- friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as "a way to share rides and limit car ownership,,,and yet "it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use."Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.32.What is Elizabeth Cline?s attitude toward clothing rental?A. Approving.B. Unfavorable.C. Objective.D. Enthusiastic.33.The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that .A. rental services are on the riseA.clothing rental will be as successful as UberB.renting clothes might waste more than expectedC.renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion34.The author suggests that we should .A.give up renting any clothingB.purchase inexpensive clothesC.rent clothes rather than buy themD.make full use of clothes we've possessed35.What is the passage mainly about?A.Clothing rental is a new fashion.B.Clothing rental is retailers? preference.C.Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.D.Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma. 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。
