“I don’t want to see that cat in our yard again,” my husband said as he drove the beautiful cat back into the neighbor’s yard. “Cats aren’t like dogs, honey. They are very ind ependent and tend to move around wherever they please, especially if they are mousing,” I said. “Well, text our neighbor and let her know I don’ I appreciate her cat in our yard,” he insisted. Sighing, I sent off a quick text to our sweet neighbor, Cheryl, informing her of my husband’s dislike of cats. “I’ll do my best,” she replied sometime later, “but it’s kind of hard controlling where she goes when I let her outside.” The following morning, John stood at the picture window in our bedroom. He’d installed it so that I could watch the birds visiting our feeders.“You aren’t going to believe this,” he said. “Come look!” Slowly, I approached the window, praying Cheryl’s cat wasn’t in our yard. “Oh, my God!” I cried. Seated side by side, right in the center of our yard, were two enormous groundhogs (土拨鼠). We’d observed groundhogs before, especially since our back yard backs, up to a wooded area, but never, had they been as brave as these two. John raised the window, and the two raced into the woods. That evening, I happened to glance out the picture window. Then something caught my eye in. the flowerbed beyond. “John, come quick!” Hurriedly, he entered the bedroom just in time to see one of the groundhogs chewing on the flowers we’d planted around the water foun tain. “Why, it’ s eating every single blossom!”Again, John lifted the window, and the groundhog fled into the woods. “Hmmm, I better look up groundhogs on the computer and see just how destructive they can be.” Before he left the room, however, he saw something again. A groundhog was chewing our vegetables in the center of the garden. Across the yard, we’d planted a vegetable garden. We’d taken great pains to enclose the rows and rows of plants in chicken wire.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

My father and I disagreed about my curfew(晚间在家的时间).He would say I had to be in by 9:30 on weekdays,and 11:00 on weekends,and there was no exception.One day,I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew.I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid.He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction,it was really about people looking out for one another.The very next Friday after that exchange,my dad and I had tickets to see our own town’s professional football game.On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.To make sure we could move off the moment he came back,I got everything prepared.When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home,I understood that he was a little late.But then,nearly a whole hour passed.I was getting upset.We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously stepped the floor,another half hour passed.That was when I got really angry.How inconsiderate my father was! We were going to miss the whole game! However,when another half an hour passed,my anger turned to fear.What if something terrible had happened to my dad,like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident,or something else? I began to get really worried,feeling like sitting on pins and needles.I had already called his cell phone about ten times,but there was no answer.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

2021年山东省高考英语模拟试卷(5月份)一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共37.5分)(2021·山东省·模拟题)AWouldn't it be great if you could correct your eyesight, especially nearsightedness, and reduce your dependence on glasses and needn't have eye surgery?The solution is called orthokeratology, or ortho-k(角膜塑形镜).What is ortho-k?Orthokeratology (ortho-k)is the fitting of specially designed contact lenses (隐形眼镜)that you wear overnight. While you are asleep, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of your cornea (角膜)so you can see clearly the following day after you remove the lenses when you wake up.How Long does the ortho - k effect last?You should be able to see acceptably well without glasses or contact lenses for a day or two, sometimes longer. For best results, one should wear the ortho - k lenses every night.Who are good candidates for ortho -k?Most people with mild to average nearsightedness are good candidates for ortho - k. Because the corneal reshaping effect is temporary, little risk is involved, and you can discontinue wearing the lenses at any time. Children and young adults who want to be glasses-free but are too young for eye surgery or are afraid of taking the surgery often are good candidates for ortho -k. People who participate in contact sports or work in dusty environments that can have problems for contact lens wear also can be good candidates.How much does ortho - k cost?Costs also can vary based on the region of the country and the type of practice where you have the procedure performed. Ortho - k prices in the US generally range from ﹩1,000 to ﹩2,000. But particularly difficult cases of ortho - k can cost as much as ﹩4,000.There are additional costs for lens care solutions and following up exams, which can total about ﹩300 to ﹩500 per year.Finally, keep in mind that, as with all contact lenses, there are some possible side effects of wearing ortho - k lenses. Ask your eye doctor for details.1.According to the passage, which way is introduced to correct eyesight?______A. Performing an operation on the cornea.B. Applying contact lenses in the daytime.C. Fitting proper glasses during the night.D. Wearing specially designed contact lenses.2.Which of the following statements is right?______A. You have to wear ortho-k day and night to ensure good results.B. Ortho-k is a good choice for a man with average nearsightedness.C. The cost of ortho-k in the city is higher than that in the countryside.D. There is no need for people to worry about the side effects of ortho-k.3.How much will a person pay for using ortho-k for the first year at least?______A. ﹩1,000.B. ﹩1,300.C. ﹩1,500.D. ﹩2,000. (2021·山东省·模拟题)BShanghai residents passing through the city's eastern Huangpu district in October might have been astonished at an unusual sight:a "walking" building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground and relocated using new technology named the "walking machine". In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor (技术总监)of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They're divided into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human pace. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan.In recent decades, China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for high-rise buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of destruction across the country. Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns including, on occasion, the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than destroyed.Shanghai has possibly been China's most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and19th-century "Shikumen" houses in the rebuilt Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a satisfying record of relocating old buildings. In 2018,the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, in what was then considered to be Shanghai's most complex relocation project to date.The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge--it'sT-shaped,while previously relocated structures were square or four-sided. Experts met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the "walking machine",Lan said. However, he couldn't share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. "It can't be used as a reference, because we have to preserve the historical building no matter what," he said. "But in general,it's cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location."4.How does the "walking" machine work?______A. It uses hundreds of ropes to lift up the entire building.B. It uses many wheels to roll the building to the new place.C. It lifts off the building story by story with the robotic legs.D. It uses sensors to control the movement of mobile supports.5.What does the underlined word "razed" probably mean in Paragraph 3?______A. replacedB. burntC. protectedD. destroyed6.According to paragraph 3-4,what can we infer about the heritage preservation in China?______A. The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.B. Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.C. The local government has already taken action since the 1930s.D. It consequently holds back the progress of modernization.7.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?______A. New preservation campaigns are launched in China.B. Modernization poses threats to historic buildings.C. A building in Shanghai "walks" to a new location.D. "Walking machine" makes heritage protection cheaper.(2021·山东省·模拟题)CStreaming(流媒体)first became popular in 2005,thanks to YouTube. Nowadays nearly three quarters of American households subscribe to at least one video streaming service. With almost 200 million subscribers worldwide and a billion hours of content viewed each week, Netflix is by far the biggest paid service. No. 2 is Amazon Prime Video. But for every Goliath,there are a hundred Davids. Many smaller streaming services show nothing but sports, classic movies, or Japanese anime (动画片).In the early days of steaming the appeal was the lower cost, and it still is. The average streamer spends ﹩37 a month and subscribes to three streaming platform,while the average cable(有线电视)user pays more than ﹩200 per month. Still streaming has become more expensive in recent years. In 2019,Netflix raised the price of its basic service 12.5 percent, to ﹩8.99 a month.A quarter of its subscribers, who protested price increases, said they would cancel their subscriptions. Few did.A major reason:Streaming networks have become home to many of the most popular TV series, including recent Emmy winners. They offer full-length feature films as well, and last year, Netflix received more Oscar nominations (提名)than any other media company. In fact, streaming has changed the Oscar competition, at least for this year. Usually only films shown in theaters are considered, but because of the coronavirus, all movies released online in 2020 are qualified for the 2021 Academy Awards. That shift is especially good news for Disney, which is putting the much anticipated movie Mulan on its new streaming service, Disney+. But watching Mulan from your own home will cost ﹩29.99-on top of the service's monthly fee of ﹩6.99.Too much streaming can have its disadvantages, however. There are those who binge-watch, a term Merriam-Webster added in 2017 with the definition "to watch many or all episodes of (a TV series)on end." Alejandro Fragoso from New York holds the Guinness World Record:94 straight hours.8.What do the underlined words "Goliath" and "David" in Paragraph 1 refer to?______A. TV viewers.B. TV programs.C. Streaming subscribers.D. Streaming services.9.Why did most Netflix subscribers continue their subscriptions?______A. They cannot go without it.B. They think the low cost is a thing of the past.C. Netflix has controlled the market.D. They think it is good value for money.10.What does the good news in Paragraph 3 mean to Disney?______A. The movie Mulan can be released on Disney+.B. The movie Mulan will generate great profits.C. The movie Mulan can compete for an Oscar.D. The movie Mulan will win an Oscar award.11.What do binge-watchers tend to do?______A. They start a new life.B. They watch TV series continuously.C. They break world records.D. They watch TV series aimlessly(2021·山东省·模拟题)DIf all goes well, a balloon will soon rise from Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden. It will float high into the upper atmosphere and then return to Earth. However, environmentalists have arrived to stop this from happening.The campaigners are against the balloon because of what occurs in flight. The balloon will shoot dust into the Earth's upper atmosphere, causing more sunlight to reflect back into space. The dust, known as Stratospheric Aeroso Linjection(SAI),is part of a solar geoengineering (地球工程)program named SCoPex which is being conducted by Harvard University. The aim of the program is to purposely change the Earth's atmosphere to fight climate change. Those who oppose worry about two things. Firstly, the moral risk-if solar geoengineering works, talks on reducing greenhouse gases will be challenged. The second concern is the amount of SAI in the atmosphere. To keep temperatures low, the need of the reflective dust to be released high above Earth will be endless, and a sudden stop could result in rapid warming. Raymond Pierrehumbert, a physicist at Oxford University, says solar geoengineering is even tool risky to research beyond computer models.Not all environmentalists are opposed to it. Since the world is unlikely to achieve the 1.5℃global warming target set in the Paris Agreement, some green organizations favour small-sized geoengineering research.Regardless of the criticism,the research continues. Geoengineering is increasingly gaininginternational attention. A recent report about climate change suggested that SAI could help keep warming below 1.5℃,The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in the USA has developed a research plan for solar geoengineering and received governmental funding totaling ﹩9 million. Both China and India have also launched research programmes of their own. Activists may oppose the experiments, but balloons will likely fly anyway.12.What is the function of SAI?______A. To attract dustB. To throw sunlight backC. To absorb heatD. To fight against pollution13.Why does Raymond Pierrehumbert say geoengineering is risky?______A. It may change computer models.B. It may produce too much dust.C. It may release greenhouse gases.D. It may worsen global warming.14.How do some people expect geoengineering research to be done?______A. To a limited degreeB. At a lower temperatureC. By green organizationsD. Without international attention15.Which of the following can be inferred?______A. Voices of environmentalists are ignoredB. More support is going to geoengineeringC. Global warming is getting worse in SwedenD. Geoengineering has proved effective in India二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)(2021·山东省·模拟题)How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.(1)______ . If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can't always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.

Adventurous.D.Fashionable.BAt the end of August this year I moved from London, UK, to a small town in Quebec, Canada, called Matane to work as an English language assistant. Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.I don't see myself as being the most patient person in the world but there was something that struck me on my first week of work. I had just finished a session with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom, one of the students turned back and said, "Thank you for your patience." That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher. It also made me reflect on the language teachers that I have had over the years, ones that demonstrated a high level of patience and understanding that has shaped my language learning path. Moreover, it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference between building someone's confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient. They repeat things several times and they are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself and find the correct word order. It's a learning process but with the patience of others, the process is slightly less nervous. At the end of the day, making mistakes shows you are trying and I think that is greatly appreciated by Quebecers.When I first arrived in Matane I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language and even overhearing other people's conversations was hard work! I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time, and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more tuned to their accent. The key is to be patient with yourself.4.What is important as a teacher according to Paragraph 2?A.Understanding.B.Patience.C.Confidence.D.Help.5.In a small town called Matane, which language do the local people speak?A.English.B.Spanish.C.French.D.Italian.6.What about the author when hearing the student's words?A.She felt kind of surprised.B.She thought he was wrong.C.She realized she needed more patience.D.She was at a loss what to do.7.What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A.The key to success is patient with yourself.B.Don't be always talking with others ina new place.C.It takes two months to master a new language.D.The headache left the author a poormemory.CGenerating electricity from thin air may sound like science fiction, but a new technology basedon nanowire(纳米线) bacteria does just that —as long as there's moisture(水分) in the air. A new study shows that when fashioned into a film, these wires —protein lines that send electrons(电子) away from the bacteria —can produce enough power to light a light-emitting diode(二极管). The film works by simply absorbing humidity from the surrounding air. Though researchers aren't sure exactly how these wires work, the tiny power plants make a great difference: Seventeen devices linked together can generate 10 volts, which is enough electricity to power a cellphone.The new method should be considered a "milestone advance" says Guo Wanlin, a materials scientist at Nanjing University who wasn't involved with the work. Guo studies hydrovoltaics, a molecular approach to harvesting electricity from water.The way hydrovoltaic devices work is still a bit of a mystery. When water droplets interact with certain kinds of graphene (石墨烯) or other materials, an electric charge is generated, and electrons move through the materials. Many questions remain about exactly how these devices generate electricity, however. "I think a deeper understanding… is needed," says Dirk de Beer, a microbiologist developing microsensors at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology.Researchers are also just starting to learn how electron-conducting bacteria function. More than 15 years ago, co-author Derek Lovley, a microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts(UMASS), Amherst, and his colleagues discovered that a bacterium called Geobacter shuttles electrons from organic material to metal-based mixtures, such as iron oxides. Since then, he and others have learned that many other bacteria make protein nanowires to transfer electrons to other bacteria or deposits in their environments. This transfer creates a small electrical current, which researchers have tried with varying degrees of success as clean energy. Using water vapor is "a revolutionary technology to get renewable, green, and cheap energy directly from atmospheric wetness," says Qu Liangti, a materials scientist at Tsinghua University.8.What do "the tiny power plants" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.

Hydrovoltaic and Nanowire DevicesRequire Power.DA completely new type of cooling panel has been created by researchers at Stanford University. The new structure works to reflect significant amounts of sunlight back into space even in full sunlight.To explain the breakthrough in specific terms: "a typical one-story, single-family house with just 10 percent of its roof covered by radioactive cooling panels could make up for 35 percent its entire air conditioning needs during the hottest hours of the summer."As the press release from Stanford University's Engineering site states it, "Tapping the cold sky of outer space to cool the planet. Science fiction, you say? Well, maybe not any more.""People usually see space as a source of heat from the sun, but away from the sun outer space is really a cold, cold place," says Shanhui Fan, professor of electrical engineering and the paper's senior author. "We've developed a new type of structure that reflects the vast majority of sunlight, while at the same time it sends heat into that coldness, which cools human-made structures even in the day time."The engineering "trick" that makes this possible is the crossing of an important thresh-hold. The reflector needs to be effective enough that it absorbs only a very low minimum of sunlight, and avoids heating up at all as a result. The other important factor is that the structure needs to be very efficient at reflecting heat back into outer space. "Thus, the structure must send out heat radiation very efficiently within a specific wavelength range in which the atmosphere is nearly transparent (透明的). Outside this range, Earth's atmosphere simply reflects the light back down." You're probably already familiar with this effect, it's commonly known as the greenhouse effect.The new cooling panel, made from nano-structured quartz and silicon carbide (碳化硅), fulfills both of these requirements. It's very effective at reflecting most sunlight, while also very effectively sending heat radiation in the wavelength range necessary to escape the Earth's atmosphere.12.W hat can the new solar structure be used to do?A.To turn light energy into electric energyB.To reflect amounts of sunlightbackC.To provide information for researchersD.To extend the hours of sunlightin winter13.A ccording to Shanhui Fan we can know that ____________.A.the earth will be cooled by outer spaceB.human beings are fightingagainst natureC.no one is capable of living in outer spaceD.such structures will be sent tospace14.W hat is the function of the reflector?A.To support and fix a thresh-hold.B.To take in sunlight effectively.C.To play a trick in the process.D.To keep the wavelength in order.15.W hat can we conclude from the passage?A.The solar structure can lower our bills.B.A majority of sunlight can berefused.C.The Earth's atmosphere will disappear.D.Humans can rule out greenhouseeffect.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
山东省实验中学2021届高三下学期2月份模拟考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节:(共10个小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen it comes to judgment of their bodies,women can’t win.People often make“fat jokes”,but fat-shaming is no laughing matter;neither is fit-shaming.I spoke to two women who were shamed for being fat,and then,after losing weight,shamed for being fit.Sarah Moore is a29-year-old mother of three from Indiana,US.She became a personal trainer after losing more than45kg.She remembers the fat-shaming she bore before her weight loss.When waiting to get on a roller coaster once,people behind her were complaining about the wait,and the attendant(服务人员)told them,“Don’t worry.She’s not going to fit on here,and you’ll be next.”But after losing weight,Moore said people commented on her body even more.“Now I get comments like,‘Are you sure you can eat that?’because they’re worried I’ll regain the weight,”she said.How does it make her feel?“Fat-shaming made me feel sad and helpless,and fit-shaming makes me angry,”she said.Changes in body weight can also influence relationships.It can upset the balance because others can get jealous.People who lose weight can experience personality changes,such as an increase in confidence,which also influences relationships.Fit-shaming has been harder to handle for Andrea Sereda,a38-year-old social worker in Canada.She said judgment of her body is something she’s faced for years.Sereda said that when she was9,her grandfather told her at a birthday party,“I don’t think you should eat cake,”and made comments about how many calories each bite contained as she ate it.She also experienced similar things in college.The judgment of Sereda’s body increased after she lost57kg.“It’s worse with people who knew me from before,”Sereda said.“People constantly say,‘You’re so skinny now you’re going to disappear.’”It was mostly friends making such comments.Closer friends seemed to compare their own bodies negatively to Sereda’s new physique(体型).“I was afraid of going out and having to field all these comments,”Sereda said.“I had to learn how to handle it.”Let us try to understand that just because someone has lost weight,it doesn’t make them fair game for commentary on their new shape.Everyone deserves to live free of being body shamed,regardless of how they look.21.Sarah Moore is shamed for being fit after losing weight mainly because________.A.people still judge her new body shapeB.she lost too much weight after her dietC.her personality changed for the betterD.people are all jealous of her new look22.The example of Andrea Sereda is used to________.A.explain what pushes women to lose weightB.show the negative effects of fit shamingC.suggest what can be done to handle fat shamingD.show the difficulties overweight women face23.What would be a proper way to treat those who have lost weight?A.To appreciate their new body shape.B.To stop commenting on their physique.C.To encourage them to maintain their shape.D.To remind them to be careful with their diet.BI’m Jeff Logan,president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation.I’m very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently(永久).That’s something we would hate to see happen.Watching the newest box office movie and eating a big bucket of popcorn is an experience that many of us have enjoyed for a very long time.We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children.A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community.It’s a place where we all gather,no matter what our interests,and no matter what ages,young and old,rich and poor.But how much longer will classic theaters remain open?Just like other industries,movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic(流行病)and are going dark.The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic,because the studios don’t want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open.As we all know,the theaters can’t do well and can’t get back to full7-day a week at full speed operation without new movies to play.Recently,the Logan Luxury5Cinema in Mitchell reopened for the weekends.However,like manytheaters,it is only operating at about10percent capacity.Since opening,several new safety measures have been put in place.Block off every other row.People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group.Staff spray the theater with disinfectant(消毒剂)after every show.And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.Even so,some people still aren’t comfortable going to a movie theater yet.I fully understand that.Anyhow, Ijust hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters,like taking part in a new national proposal called“Save Your Cinema.”1.What does the underlined word"fabric"in paragraph4refer to?A.Typical feature.B.Basic structure.C.Public support.mon vision.2.Why are the film studios unwilling to release the new movies?A.Cinemas don’toperate normally.B.New movies aren’t welcomed.C.People don’t like goingto cinema.D.Many cinemas go out of business.3.What can we infer about the Logan Luxury5Cinema after its reopening?A.It makes a lot of money.B.It does well in disease prevention.C.It receives a large audience every day.D.It offers more enjoyable experience.4.What is the purpose of this text?A.To share the good old days.B.To explain a social problem.C.To ask for people’s help.D.To recommend a theater.CTo move visual technology into the future,sometimes it helps to make a little noise.Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating3-D images,create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.Since the1940s,scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation(声悬浮),the use of soundwave vibrations to trap tiny things in midair.The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade.Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3-D printing methods,or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation.In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack.And the ultrasound speakers canalso concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back—a little like the object shown by the floating image is really there.Soundwaves create a3-D display!Display without a screen is remarkably useful.It means that everybody in the room can see the image—any angle,location—and that’s extremely helpful.As a communications system,such a display might one day allow users to chat with a3-D projection(投影)of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room.The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room,however.So far, this has been done in the research laboratory.We need to push it a little bit harder.We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home.The current system can only show simple graphics,such as a smiley face or figure eight,in real time.Still,we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology.If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two,it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself.We can’t make a TV image that’s bigger than the TV—even a projector has to have a projection screen that’s bigger than the image itself.But with a volumetric(容积的)display,a small,portable device might produce a much larger picture.We can imagine,in the future,having volumetric displays in watches,for example,that create large images that just project out of your watch.5.From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to_.A.catch very small objectsin midairB.develop3-D printer’s capabilitiesC.replace a creative display screenpose soundtracks by making no noise6.What do we know about display without a screen?A.It has resulted in visual technology.B.It is possible to see the image from any direction.C.It is already ripe to create a real one at home.D.It has yet to be tested in the research laboratory.7.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Outlooks for thenew technology.B.Situations of the modern technology.C.Praise for the cutting-edge technology.D.Room for the technicalimprovement.8.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Hearing Is Seeing—Sound Waves Create a3-D DisplayB.Seeing is Believing—3-D Printing MethodsArriveC.Advancing Sense of Touch—3-D Images Float in theAirD.Promoting TV Technology—Chat with3-D ProjectionsDOne morning,when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams,he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible insect.He lay on his armor-like back,and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly,slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment.His many legs,pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.“What’s happened to me?”he thought.It wasn’t a dream.His room,a proper human room although a little too small,lay peacefully between its four familiar walls.A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—Samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice,gilded frame.It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur scarf who sat upright,raising a heavy fur muff(暖手筒)that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather.Drops of rain could be heard hitting the window,which made him feel quite sad.“How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense,”he thought,but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right,and in his present state couldn’t get into that position.However hard he threw himself onto his right,he always rolled back to where he was.He must have tried it a hundred times,shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs,and only stopped when he began to feel a mild,dull pain there that he had never felt before.He thought,“What a heavy career it is that I’ve chosen!Travelling day in and day out.Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home,and on top of that there's the curse of travelling,worries about making train connections,bad and irregular food,contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them.”He felt a slight itch up on his belly;pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was,and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn’t know what to make of;and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back because assoon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold tremble.He slid back into his former position.“Getting up early all the time,”he thought,“it makes you stupid. You’ve got to get enough sleep.Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury.For instance,whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract,these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts.I ought to just try that with my boss;I’d get kicked out on the spot.But who knows,maybe that would be the best thing for me.If I didn’t have my parents to think about I’d have given in my notice a long time ago,I’d have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think,tell him everything I would,let him know just what I feel.He’d fall right off his desk!And it’s a funny sort of business to be sitting up there at your desk,talking down at your inferiors from up there,especially when you have to go right up close because the boss is hard of hearing.Well,there’s still some hope;once I’ve got the money together to pay off my parents’debt to him—another five or six years I suppose—that’s definitely what I’ll do.That’s when I’ll make the big change.First of all though,I’ve got to get up,my train leaves at five.”9.According to the passage,Gregor initially believes his transformation is a.A.curseB.diseaseC.nightmareD.fraud10.The author most likely includes a description of Gregor’s itch in paragraph4to.A.remind the reader that Gregor has already turned into an insectB.stress the disconnection between Gregors’thoughts and his actual situationC.present important details about what Gregor’s new body lookslikeD.show that Gregor’s thoughts are focused on the changes tohis body11.The passage most strongly suggests which of the following about Gregor’s attitude toward his profession?A.He is angry.B.He is eager to please.C.He is depressed.D.He is diligent.12.The main rhetorical(修辞的)effect of the final sentence of the excerpt(“First of all though,I've got to get up, my train leaves at five”)is to.A.provide a solution to the conflict Gregor facesB.foretell the conflict between Gregor and his bossB.illustrate Gregor’s flexibility and ability to move on D.emphasize Gregor’s extreme sense of duty第二节:(共5个小题;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。

While that may be true, some of the best things in Texas are quite small. Case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an intention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and it’s worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbors, Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you can’t easily find in big cities. “Peo ple are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says, “We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 100 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion, a Coffee Ladies meet-up, or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-boundneighbor and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help rebuild.4.What does the author think of Mount Vernon?A.Remote. B.Wealthy.C.Primitive. D.Attractive.5.Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?A.He preferred the simple and natural life. B.He could continue his language teaching. C.He could live together with his ancestors. D.He could meet more neighbors of his age.6.What can we infer about people’s way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?A.It is in danger of extinction. B.It is quickly changing over time.C.It is conservative but harmonious. D.It is being disturbed by the outside world. 7.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The history of Mount Vernon. B.The humanity of Mount Vernon. C.The volunteers of Mount Vernon. D.The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.Andrew Orkin was taking a break from his evening jog to sit by Prospect Park Lake when he was frightened to see a mass of snakes. They turned out to be swamp eels(黄鳝) that had escaped from one of two large plastic bags that split open as a man dragged them to the shoreline. After dumping the eels in the lake, the man walked away, explaining to bystanders that “I just want to save lives.”The illegal release became a curiosity on social media, but the dumping of exotic(外来的) animals in urban parks isn’t n ew. New Yorkers free thousands of non-native animals every year. “People like animals and they sometimes think they’re doing a good thing by letting them go,” said Jason Munshi-South, an urban ecologist at Fordham University. “Most will die. Some will beco me a problem, and then there’s no going back.”New York state and city officials say it’s too soon to know how the eels in Prospect Park might affect local species. The eels eat almost anything including plants, insects, frogs, turtles and other fish. And they could prey(捕食) upon or compete with the park’s native species for however long they survive.There are no plans to eradicate the eels. Since they’re active at night and spend most of their time in the mud of lakes and rivers, spotting and removing them from the lake could be impossible. Officials say they will look for swamp eels during the agency’s next survey in thespring, but don’t expect them to make it through the winter. However, University of Toronto freshwater ecologist Nicholas Mandrak said, “Even if they don’t survive, they could have negative short-term effects.”8.Why did the man pour the eels into the lake?A.To challenge the law. B.To increase the local species.C.To keep the eels alive. D.To become a web celebrity.9.Why did the released eels become a concern?A.They might get caught once again.B.They might not adapt to the new environment.C.They might frighten the joggers by the lake.D.They might pose a threat to local species.10.What does the underlined word “eradicate” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Get rid of. B.Look after.C.Sell. D.Examine.11.What is the officials’ opinion about dealing with the problem?A.It is risky. B.It is tricky.C.It takes patience. D.It requires legal support.The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six times faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Greg g Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chattingabout how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort — we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil(化石) resources.12.What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?A.It doubles the breakdown of plastics.B.It takes hundreds of years to break down.C.It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.D.It deals with the plastic waste three times faster.13.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.A new study of PET. B.The breakdown of PET.C.The discovery of PETase. D.The functions of PETase.14.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Co-leading the trans-Atlantic team. B.Combining PETase and MHETase. C.Attacking the surface of the plastics. D.Talking about conducting experiments. 15.What can we infer from the text?A.PET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with.B.New enzyme is speeding up our reliance on fossil resources.C.MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution.D.Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.二、七选五How to Reduce Gift Wrap WasteWrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean itcan be recycled. 16.Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.Reuse what you have. 17.It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse.Use different materials. 18.Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.19.Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper wasteto deal with.Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEOof the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper?

results of a study by researchers from Bochum suggest that they have fewer,but thickcr fibers in the main connecting tract between the brain hemispheres(半球).In addition,their motor brain areas are organized more efficiently.This is the conclusion drawn by a research team headed by ra.It was published in thejournal Brain and Behavior,online on4December2019.The researchers were interested in drummers because their movement control far surpasses that of untrained people.“Most people can only perform fine motor tasks with one hand and have problems playing different rhythms with both hands at the same time,”explains Lara.“Drummers can do things that are impossible for untrained people.”The team intended to gain new insights into the organization of complex motor processes in the brain by identifying the changes in the brain caused by this training.The researchers tested20professional drummers who have played their instrument for an average of17years and currently practice for more than ten hours per week.They examined them using various MRI imaging techniques that provide insights into the structure and function of the brain.They then compared the data with measurcments of24unmusical control subjects.Both groups had to play drums to test their abilities and were then examined in the MRI scanner.Drummers presented clear differences in the front part of the corpus callosum(胼胝体)responsible for motor planning.The data indicated that the drummers had fewer but thicker fibers in this imponant connecting tract.This allows musicians to exchange information between the hemispheres more quickly than the controls.Although drummers might be good at motor coordination,they are less active in motor tasks than that of control subjects.This phenomenon indicates that a more efficient brain organization in the areas leads to less activation in professionals.8.Which has the closest meaning with the underlined word in Paragraph2?A.Correspond with.B.Go beyond.C.Differ from.D.Fall behind.9.How did the team identify the changes in drummers’brain?A.By analyzing previous study.B.By organizing complex motor tasks.C.By testing their abilities and scanning the brains.D.By comparing amateur drummers and unmusical people.10.Which statement is true about the drummers?A.They are more active in motor tasks.B.They can play rhythms more quickly.C.They have better imagination and insights.D.They have more efficient brain organization.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Playing drums changes the brain.B.Playing drums can be trained.C.Playing music makes you active.D.Playing music brings benefits.DVegan leather(纯素皮),a cruelty-free and environment-friendly substitute for animal leather has long been the ultimate goal of sustainable fashion.Now,an alternative may be making the jump from the lab to cupboards,and its souse may surprise many people:the forest floor.Mycelium(菌体丝),the fibrous roots of fungi(真菌),is being made into durable clothes and bags with a lower carbon cost than animal’s skin or plastic,and it’s a material that won’t pile up in landfills.While products made from it aren’t available to buy yet,industry experts say the material has great potential to influence themarket for animal and synthetic(合成的)leathers.And it has a unique look and feel.Leather production relies on skin from cattle and sheep,whose raising is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.Leather processing also uses dangerous chemicals and generates large amounts of waste from treating raw skin.By contrast,fungi’s growth is effectively carbon neutral since they catch and store carbon that would otherwise be emitted or remain in the atmosphere,according to Nature.Pure and untreated fungi-1eather also breaks down easily.A number of companies are relying on consumer’s interest in a true fungi leather.Some66%US respondents to a survey by the consulting firm Mckinscy&Company said they consider sustainability when making a luxury purchase.California-based Mekino is perhaps closest to producing a commercially available product called Reishi.“It has the same quality and artistic value as animal leather and it will be launched in partnership with top brands in the coming months.”said Sophia Wang,the company’s co-founder.One of the challengs with fungi-leather is making a uniform“mat”with consistent thickness,appearance and color,according to Nature.It’s also necessary to balance durability with biodegradability(降解).12.What do we know about Mycelium?A.Its products are available now.B.It is likely to gain some market share.C.It has a high carbon emission.D.It accounts for alarge part of waste.13.How is Paragraph3mainly developed?A.By making a comparison.B.By reasoning and arguning.C.By analyzing the reasearch process.D.By providing background information.14.What can we infer from Paragraph4?A.Most people like animal leather.B.Consumers are indifferent to Reishi.C.Sophia has confidence in Reishi.D.Mckino ranks among top brands.15.In which part of a newspaper can we see the passage? A.Opinion.B.Agriculture.C.Fashion.D.Lifestyle.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I was finishing up the first year of an MFA program in poetry. I was tired and puzzled. "Was I good enough to be in the program?" When a professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn't want to appear idle(闲散的). "Gardening," I responded immediately. Actually I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded, saying, "What a good idea, Mari! Emily Dickinson loved gardening." Emily Dickinson had lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience.A few days later, I bought a jalapeño seedling(青辣椒秧苗). At least I could say I'd tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn't have a black thumb after all.I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalapeño was suffering. It was brown in some places; many of its leaves had fallen off. Would my little guy make it? I prayed, "Please be okay." As if its survival were closely linked to mine.I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalapeño plant came back to life. It grew bigger, with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper--a book of poems--in May. "Your poems are strong," my professor said.A huge weight lifted. I'd done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalapeño plant were gone. I watchedcloser. Where a flower had been, a tiny green fruit pushed through. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalapeño plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn't thought possible.4.Why did the author begin gardening?A.Just by accident.B.For the love for gardening.C.To express fancy for Emily Dickinson.D.Because of the reminding of a professor.5.When did the author begin her first gardening?A.In her childhood.B.In one of her summer breaks.C.In her teens.D.In her first year of MFA program.6.What does the underlined phrase "a black thumb" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.A talent to grow plants.B.A dirty finger to touch plants.C.A good fortune to do everything.D.An inability to do gardening.7.Which proverb can best describe the story above?A.Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.B.Easier said than done.C.It's never too old to learn.D.Do not teach fish to swim.CCreated in the 1920s by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect who designed Waterloo Bridge, red public telephone boxes, which can be seen all over the UK, are regarded as one of the most typical symbols of this country.However, public phones have had their day despite their lovely housings. While coin-operated and card-operated telephones are on the edge of extinction, mobile phones are playing a significant role in people's lives. Though they are more portable, flexible and extensively used, mobile phones have their weakness: battery life. Instead of trashing the phone booths, a project was then promoted to recycle and reuse them. To be consistent with the environment-friendly preference, people are allowed to rent and repurpose the red phone boxes. In this way, they are making an unusual come back. When you take a walk down Tottenham Court Road in London and find low-battery condition, there happens to be a green option for you. The abandoned the red phone boxes are beingused as free charging stations powered by solar energy.Inside the booths, which are newly painted green, there are various adaptors that can be connected to different brands and models of mobile phones. Just walk in, plug your phone in, and charge it up whenever it needs to be supplied with power. Most people would stay inside the boxes while they charge. Fully aware of this when launching the project, Solarbox can now reach a large quantity of audience by displaying ads on solid equipment. Its advertisers include well-known companies like Uber. Yet 30% of advertising space is reserved for local community projects.Apart from converting phone booths into solar-powered charging stations, other forms of transformation can be found in and outside the UK. For example, there is medical equipment or minilibraries adapted from phone booths, while in America, thousands of phone booths have been transformed into wi-fi hot spots.8.What do you know about the public phones boxes?A.The public phones were abandoned.B.The public phones have been replaced by mobile phones.C.The public phones played a significant role in people's lives.D.The public phones are regarded as typical symbols of this country.9.What does the underlined word "repurpose" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Adapt.B.Produce.C.Unite. D.Build.10.What is an important factor that makes Solarbox launch the project?A.New function.B.Advertising profit.C.People's affection D.Companies support11.What is the text mainly about?A.The future of the public phone.B.The revival of the phone boxes.C.The rise and fall of the red boxes.D.The ups and downs of the payphone.DOver all, Girls perform better than boys in school. It starts as early as kindergarten. By the time students reach college, women graduate at a higher rate than men. But there’s an exception. Boys match the grades of girls in elementary school, a new study has found. For them, the gender achievement gap doesn’t appear until adolescence — at which point they start doing worse as a group than girls.More and more studies have shown that boys’ under-performance is not because of any internal reasons. Instead, it seems, it’s largely because of something external: their school environments and peer influences. Thenew study offers a clue about how much school environments affect boys’ academic achievement. Ms. Hsin found that the gender gap for boys in high school was smaller in schools that were less sports-focused, and where boys did better over all. Other studies have also stressed the importance of the school and social environments, especially for boys. For boys, these influences change in adolescence, Ms. Hsin found, a time when children become more aware of their gender identity and are more influenced by peers.One working paper found that the best-performing students had a combination of behaviors typically considered male and female. It used nationally representative survey data about gender standard for about 12,000 high school students. The most traditionally girls and the most boys had the lowest grades.Researchers have other suggestions. Show them role models who got where they are by doing well in school. Emphasize the importance of hard work and daily practice, and encourage both boys and girls to embrace a full range of fields, and not to feel limited by gender roles. Place high expectations on children, and give them opportunities to meet them.12.When do the boys perform as well as the girl?A.In college. B.In kindergarten.C.In elementary school. D.In senior high school.13.What makes the boys perform worse than the girl?A.Their behaviors.B.Their characteristics.C.Their family influences.D.Their school environments.14.What did Ms. Hsin find in his study?A.The boys did better over girls.B.The children are more influenced by peers.C.Social environments influenced boys more.D.The gender gap for girls in high school was smaller in schools.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Children will benefit from role models.B.Children can perform well by working hard.C.Children should be limited by gender roles.D.Children traditionally have the lowest grades in school.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。

A. block off意为封锁, B. appeal to意为吸引, C. subscribe to意为订阅, D. come across意为遇到。
该句的句式使用到了一个比较句式以及一个定语从句,看起来有一点复杂,其实这道题的关键就是连词or,or意思是或者,用于并列句。
所以our emotions表达是跟前面excite our senses(让我们激动)意思是相同的,根据句意不难得出答案是C吸引。

In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of theareas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience.4. What can we infer about Jessie?A. She is a tour advisor.B. She is a tour guide.C. She is a foreign traveler.D. She is a skilled driver.5. When did the writer visit the Great Wall?A. In spring.B. In summer.C. In autumn.D. In winter.6. What did the writer think of his tour?A. Adventurous.B. Disappointing.C. Satisfactory.D. Improvable.7. What is the probable title for the text?A. A Wonderful Tour Day with JessieB. An Extraordinary Tour CompanyC. The Great Wall, an Excellent AttractionD. Jessie, a Kind and Knowledgeable GuideCA growing body of research is revealing associations between birth defects (缺陷) and a father's age, alcohol use and environmental factors, say researchers atGeorgetown University Medical Center. They say these defects result from epigenetic changes that can potentially affect multiple generations.The study, published in theAmerican Journal of Stem Cells, suggest both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring — a common sense conclusion which science is only now beginning to demonstrate, says the study's senior investigator, Joanna Kitlinska, PhD, an associate professor in biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology.“We know the nutritional, hormonal and psychological environment provided by the mother permanently influences organ structure, cellular response and gene expression in her offspring,” she says.“But our study shows the same thing to be true with fathers — his lifestyle, and how old he is, can be reflected in molecules that control gene function,” she says. “In this way, a father can affect not only his immediate offspring, but future generations as well.”For example, a newborn can be diagnosed with fetal (胎儿的) alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), even though the mother has never consumed alcohol, Kitlinska says. “Up to 75 percent of children with FASD have biological fathers who are alcoholics, suggesting that preconceptual paternal alcohol consumption negatively impacts their offspring.”Advanced age of a father is correlated with elevated rates of certain diseases, and birth defects in his children.A limited diet during a father’s preadolescence has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular death in his children and grandchildren. Paternal obesity is linked to enlarged fat cells, changes in metabolic regulation,diabetes, obesity and development of brain cancer. Psychosocial stress on the father is linked to defective behavioral traits in his offspring. And paternal alcohol use leads to decreased newborn birth weight, marked reduction in overall brain size and impaired cognitive function.“This new field of inherited paternal epigenetics needs to be organized into clinically applicable recommendations and lifestyle alternations,” Kitlinska says. “And to really understand the epigenetic influences of a child, we need to study the interplay between maternal and paternal effects, as opposed to considering each in isolation.”8. What’s the message the writer conveys in the passage?A. Both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring.B. Father’s age and lifestyle are tied to birth defects.C. Father plays a more critical role in birth defects.D. Birth defects can potentially affect multiple generations.9. What can we infer from the example in Paragraph 5?A. FASD can only be diagnosed in a newborn whose father is addicted to alcohol.B. A newborn will not contract FASD if his mother has never consumed alcohol.C. A father’s lifestyle can negatively impact his offspring.D. Most children have biological fathers who are alcoholics.10. Which of the following situations is less likely to lead to children’s birth defects?A. Having a father with a limited diet.B. Having a father who is an alcoholic.C. Having an overweight father.D. Having a father with psychosocial stress.11. What will the research probably continue to focus on in the part that follows?A. The maternal epigenetic influences of a child.B. The ways to avoid negative paternal influence on children.C. The clinical application of the research findings.D. The interaction between maternal and paternal effects.DA trip to thelibrary was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best-my father and mother and brothers and sister--and all the things I loved best- quiet, space and books.I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and the bees--literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins (知更鸟). I went through a phrase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs.I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating, I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott' s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.12. What can we say about the author’s family?A. They enjoyed traveling abroad.B. They were library frequenters.C. They were very fond of walking.D. They led a perfectly quiet life.13. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2?A. Her different hobbies from her brothers.B. How she conducted science experiments.C. Why she loved books about the birds and the bees.D. Her reading interests during a particular period of time.14. What opinion does the author hold on books?A. Book titles can sometimes be misleading.B. Science books are as interesting as novels.C. The first few paragraphs of a book are attractive.D. Books seem duller when read in libraries than at home.15. How would the author describe Little Women?A. It helped her to discover her true character.B. It made her forget about food and sleep.C. It inspired confidence in her.D. It kept her absorbed.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。

According to his original plan, he was due to take part in a series of outdoor races in Europe and the US to tune up for the Tokyo Games. That was until the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything.Xie flew to China’s coastal city of Qinhuangdao, Hebei province, at the end of March, and after a 28-day quarantine(隔离期), returned to Beijing to stan his lockdown training session.“Although most of the competitions have been canceled or postponed, I can still compete in some virtual events and testing events organized by the national team.” Xie said.“I am working closely with my coach and sticking to our new preparation plan.

The opportunity to see whales and dolphins swimming in their natural habitat is so much better than seeing these great mammals in zoos and aquariums. As your boat edgesout into the blue water, a group of dolphins come to greet you and swim around the boat, jumping playfully around you. In some places, tour companies even encourage tourists to go swimming with the dolphins. These intelligent mammals seem to enjoy our company and interact with us. But is it possible that this kind of human activity putting their survival at risk?A recent study has shown that the behavior of whales and dolphins changes greatly when they are close to boats. Interpreting the boats as a possible danger, they start to breathe more to breathe more quickly. The boats drive them away from the places where they feed and interrupt their routine of resting and taking care of their young. All of these factors could have a very negative effect on their general health. Another factor that should be taken into account is the effect of human attention on the animals. As they become more used to interacting with humans, they become less afraid of them. There have been several cases of tour boats running into dolphins or whales and causing their deaths. As dolphins live within close communities, events like these cause a lot of stress.Perhaps the best way to protect these animals is to reduce our interaction with them. This we could do by keeping a minimum distance between the animals and the boats, and by limiting the number of boats out on the water at one time. Most importantly, instead of interrupting these animals’ routines, we should try to adapt to them. In this way, we could learn to exist in harmony with these wild animals and ensure our continued co-existence on the planet that we shall share.28. Why are Eco-wildlife tours increasingly popular?A. Because they are widely advertised.B. Because tourists can visit wild animals in nature.C. Because wild animals enjoy our company.D. Because visitors do not disturb wild animals.29.

The visiting boats excite whales and dolphins.B. Boats drive young whales and dolphins away from their parents.C. Human’s attention benefits whales and dolphins a lot.D. Getting too close to wild animals may cause trouble to them.31. What is suggested to stay in harmony with wild animals according to the text?A. Making less interaction with them.B. Keeping a minimum distance between boats.C. Banning boats entering their habitat.D. Making them adapt to our daily routine.DChengdu, the capital of Southwest China’s Sichuan province, is promoting innovation in the new economy to create a powerhouse for regional economic development.The city’s recent move to open up registration for companies as part of the first of innovation-application experimental labs and future scene labs is an important part of its efforts to promote innovation.
