Ice Lantern Festival: where large ice buildings and statues constructed with lights inside that make them glow.SiberianTigerPark: The park has several large caged areas where the tigers roam freely and live as they-would in their natural environment. We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a look at these beautiful beasts. Live pheasants (雉) are let loose (if you pay) in order to show you the tigers' natural hunting skills.Russian Architecture: Blessed with grace and character, the city is famous for its unique, Russian-influenced architecture. Remnants (残存) from the days when Harbin wasan important stop on the Russian Manchurian Railroad, the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia. The strong Russian flavor continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism betweenHarbinandRussia.TheCentral Avenue: Passers-by only street, a perfect remaining part of the busy international business activities at the turn of the 20th century. The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural styles, including Baroque and Byzantine facades, Jewish architectural wonders, little Russian bakeries, French fashion houses, American snack food outlets, and Japanese restaurants.Guogeli Avenue:Harbin's second biggest shopping district dotted with Russian buildings. A tram track is still preserved in the centre of the road. The street is named after Nikolay (Vasilyevich) Gogol (1809-1852); great Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist, founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature, best-known for his novel MERTVYE DUSHI I-II (1842, Dead Souls).Saint Sophia Church (built in 1903): The Orthodox church is a wonderful example of Russian Architecture. We only tour the outside of the church. The inside has been turned into some painters' market and is a big disappointment to all who visit it. You are welcome to venture into the church. Entrance fees are RMB20 per person.1. From where does the author look at the tigers?A. Through the windows of his house.B. In the closed areas of tigers.C. In the areas for walking.D. In their natural environment.2. Where can visitors see the most diverse styles of architecture?A. At Ice Lantern Festival.B. On the Russian Manchurian Railroad.C. On TheCentral Avenue.D. OnGuogeli Avenue.3. When walking in the city ofHarbin, what can visitors still strongly feel?A. The Russian flavor.B. The influence of Guogeli's realism.C. The damage to Saint Sophia Church.D. The mixture of American and Japanese cultures.BJanet Fein, aged 84, received her bachelor's degree from the University last week, having waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.Growing up in the Bronx area ofNew York City, Fein worked at a dress manufacturer after graduating early at the age of 16. After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs through her life, including 20 years as a secretary at a hospital until her retirement at age 77.Fein has had a full life. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology because she felt it was “substantial.”Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texasand kept going to class even as her health conditions worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she required oxygen. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.Sheila Rollerson, Fein' scollege advisor, and Carol, the professor told the media that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. She would speak up a lot in class and it just made for a more interesting class.Fein has also inspired Renee Brown, one of Fein's caregivers. At 53, Renee plans to begin nursing school to further her career. “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you can do it, and you will feel so good about it,” Brown remembers what Fein told her.4.

A few people might say they’re cute, but the majority think they’re stubborn, dumb and all-round less capable than their horse s.However, this wasn’t the case for a recently unearthed ancient Chinese noblewoman who was unexpectedly found buried with her donkeys. Published in the journal Antiquity in March, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) first discovered the tomb in Xi’an, Shaanxi, in 2012. The team examined the remains and identified the body as Cui Shi, a Tang Dynasty high-born lady who died in 878 AD.Speaking to Science Magazine in 2012, the study’s co-author, Fiona Marshall, said the finding caused confusion as “donkeys … are not associated with high-status people”.However, following years of further research, the team discovered artworks and artifacts that showed a sport known as “Lvju”. This was similar to modern-day polo (马球)and was popular among noble (高贵的) women at the time. They preferred to use donkeys instead of full-sized horses for safety reasons, due to their smaller size and slower speed.Speaking to CNN, Marshall later said, “Historical documents also showed that ladies of the late Tang court loved to play donkey polo.”At that time in Chinese history, animals were often placed in tombs so that they could be used for a specific purpose in the afterlife. The study determined that Cui Shi likely requested that her beloved donkeys be buried with her, so that she could continue her favorite sport after death. In total, three donkeys were found inside her tomb with riding gear (装备), including stirrups (马镫). “This context provides evidence that the donkeys in her tomb were for polo, not transport,” lead author Hu Songmei of the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology told Science Magazine.Before the study, it was believed that donkeys were only used to carry loads, but now it may be time to see them as a sign of achieving high social status(地位), well, in ancient times.8. What do most people think of donkeys, according to the text?A. They are as adorable(可爱的) as horses.B. They are stubborn and not so capable.C. They were necessary in ancient sports.D. They were a sign of high social status.9. Why did Fiona Marshall feel confused when she discovered the donkeys?A. She didn’t connect donkeys with nobles.B. She hadn’t seen donkeys in ancient tombs before.C. She didn’t expect to find donkeys in a woman’s tomb.D. She didn’t understand why animals were in human tombs.10. What do we know about the sport “Lvju” from the text?A. Horses were preferred in Lvju.B Lvju was similar to modern-day soccer.C. Lvju was popular among common people.D. Donkeys were preferred in the sport for safety.11. The donkeys were found in the tomb of Cui Shi probably because _______.A. she intended to use them for transport after deathB. her family didn’t want her to be lonely after deathC. she wanted to continue to play Lvju after deathD. noble women needed donkeys to maintain their dignityDMy friend and I went traveling inTasmania,Australialast December. We settled in our Airbnb accommodation, a cozy apartment, not long after we arrived inHobart, the capital city.After briefing us on the kitchen's facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom, our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work, which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms, and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison. And when she detected the curiosity in our tones, she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV. My friend and I exchanged a “this is incredible” look and said “yes” immediately.As we drove, she told us about the buildings that we were passing, the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmania's well-known contemporary art gallery.And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison. According to our hostess, it currently holds Martin Bryant, a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property. We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist, and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience, not to mention the fact that it's usually cheaper than hotel rooms.But I'm fully aware of the risks of Airbnb, which is why I did my homework before booking online—I checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.That said, it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates me—the interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.12. Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?A. She planned to send the uniform to the prison.B. She found our curiosity about the prison.C. She wanted to show off her SUV.D. She needed to offer a tour for us.13. Which of the following can best explain the word “notorious” in Paragraph 5?A. Unfamiliar to everyone.B. Particularly disappointing.C. Well known for being bad.D. Extremely generous to others.14. Compared with hotels, what is the writer's favorite of the Airbnb accommodation?A. It is cheaper in most cases.B. It supplies a better living condition.C. It offers a much safer accommodation.D. It provides a chance to know local culture.15. What does the author think of finding accommodation on Airbnb?A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.C. Neutral.D. Doubtful.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。

AHigh school programs at the National Gallery of Art value depth over breadth, exploring original works of art through a single specific question or theme.Studio WorkshopsSingle museum visit, 2.5 hoursGrades 9-12These half-day art workshops include an in-depth examination and discussion of works of art in the galleries, followed by behind-the-scenes access to the Education Studio, where students create a related art project.National Gallery of Art educators will encourage students to look carefully at works of art and then share their responses and come up with theories based on their observations.Students will have the chance to create a work of art in the studio inspired by what they have seen in the galleries.Museum MakersExploring Art and MuseumsGrades 11-12The Museum Makers program explains how museums operate and what they have to offer. It gives upper-level high school students the tools to experience, understandand interpret art. Participants will gain an insider's view of how an art museum works.Students meet for seven Saturday sessions from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Completion of the program requires attendance of all seven sessions.Creative WritingGrades 7-12, 90 minutesStudents will provide a voice for their personal responses to art through creative writing while they are looking at a selection of artworks in the galleries. Using close observation, group discussion and personal reflection, they will be guided through exercises that use different writing forms, including free-form poetry.A maximum of 30 students ( minimum of 15) will be accepted at each session.21.What can students do at Studio Workshops?A.Get basic training as an artist.B.Put forward their own art theories.C.Discuss with artists about their works.D.Learn about artists, inspiration for their works.22.What can students get from Museum Makers?A.Methods of how artworks are created.B.Experience in running an art museum.C.Knowledge about how an art museum works.D.Academic credits for completing the program.23.Which group can attend Creative Writing at a session?A.15 college students.B. 10 Grade 9 students.C. 25 Grade 10 students.D. 40 high school students.BI never imagined that someone telling me I looked skinny would anger me. And yet, I was made very angry when a colleague pinched （捏）my waist and screamed, “Rosa, you've lost weight. You look great In The truth is that I was tired and not taking care of myself. I decided to start a proper weight-loss program.The first to go would be road rage （路怒）.I am in far less control of this weight than any other. Every time something gets in my path, I fly off the handle. I need to lose the road rage, and fast! No, no more speed. Instead, I now repeat the words："I am not in a hurry. " This year, I will drive safely, allowing "stupid" to happen all aroundme. From that, I hope to gain patience.Next is guilt. When guilt drives my conscience to do better, it's functional. But when it presents itself as an internal dialogue that goes nowhere, it's useless. This year, I want to stop feeling guilty for not keeping a cleaner house, for spending time away from my children to be with friends, for not attending every party because I’d rather be at home, or for watching TV when I should be reading. My image and performance are not at the front of anyone else’s mind but my own. From this, I hope to gain freedom to be myself.The last is fear. Fear has held me back. Fear of failure has prevented me from being a writer. Fear of embarrassment has prevented me from giving an opinion. Fear of rejection has stopped me from aiming higher in my life. Fear of regret has led me into situations that made me uncomfortable. If I can lose any one of these fears, I stand to gain experience.So, if I can lose the rage, shake off some guilt, and take fear off my plate, I stand to gain patience, freedom, and experience. Pound for pound I have not lost a thing but I will be much lighter. Next time, I hope my colleague looks me in the eye to see my glow instead of pinching part of me that has nothing to do with how great I really look.24.What does the underlined part “fly off the handle” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Pick up speed.B. Drive off.C. Feel quite nervous.D. Become very angry.25.What has made the author feel guilty before?A.Attending too many parties.B.Reading much with her children.C.Wasting her time in watching TV.D.Spending little time with her friends.26.How has fear affected the author?A.It has prevented her achieving her goals.B.It has stopped her furthering her education.C.It has made it difficult for her to make friends.D.It has caused her to quit her dream of being a teacher.27.What does the author expect to gain from her weight-loss program?A.Respect.B. Independence.C. Optimism.D. Tolerance.CSix months before she died, my grandmother moved into an old people's home and I visited her there. The room was clean and warm, and the care assistants were kind and cheerful. A general knowledge quiz show was on the television, and the only other sound was snoring （打呼噜）.People moved only when they needed to be helped to the bathroom. It was disappointing. Grandmother talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchildren, but I knew from my sister that they hated going to visit her there.So I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France. The idea is simple, but revolutionary - combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on.The advantages are huge for everyone concerned. The children are happy, because they get a lot more individual attention. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young in an increasing number of countries. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same - increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children, and more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support.

The researchers said that breathing in these particles can be harmful to lung tissue and lead to serious diseases.Professor Natalie Mahowald, at Cornell University in the US and part of the research team, said, " But maybe we could solve this before it becomes a huge problem, if we manage our plastics better, before they accumulate in the environment and move around everywhere."The research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Acadenry of Sciences, examined airborne （空气传播的）microplastics, which have been far less studied than plastics in oceans and rivers.The team gathered more than 300 samples of airborne microplastics from 11 s ites across the western US. These were the basis for atmospheric modeling that estimated the contribution from different sources （来源）,and it was the first such study to do so.They found that roads were the main factor （因素）in the western US, linked to about 85% of the microplastics in the air. These are likely to include particles from tiresand brake pads on vehicles, and plastics from litter that had been broken down.The researchers extended their modeling work to a global level and this suggested that while roads are also likely to be the major driver of airborne plastics in Europe, South America and Australia, plastic particles blown up from fields may be a much bigger factor in Africa and Asia.Professor Andreas Stohl of the University of Vienna's Faculty of Earth Sciences said, “The study confirms the global-scale （全球规模的）nature of microplastic transport in the atmosphere and does a good job in highlighting highly relevant and concerning possibilities, but more measurement data is needed to get a better idea of the sources.”32.What can be known about microplastic pollution from this text?A.The particles can do great harm to our lungs.B.Airborne microplastics have been widely studied.C.It has become the most pressing environmental problem.D.There is less plastic in the air than in oceans and rivers.33.What did the researchers find out about microplastic pollution?A.Its results differ across many continents.B.Africa and Asia are suffering most from it.C.Roads and fields are largely to blame for it.D.It spreads fast from one continent to another.34.What should the researchers do next according to Professor Andreas Stohl?A.To predict the potential damage of microplastics.B.To understand the nature of microplastic pollution.C.To improve the method of collecting samples of microplastics.D.To collect more data to understand the sources of microplastics.35.What can be the best title for this text?A.Effects of microplastics on human healthB.Microplastic pollution on the global scaleC.Possible solutions to microplastic pollutionD.Microplastic pollution rising quickly in the air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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Many Chinese people are planning to visit red tourism attractions in the coming summer vacation. The following are some red tourism sites inShanghai.Former Site of the Editorial Department ofNew YouthRevolutionary magazineNew Youth,which created the New Culture Movement and spread the influence of the May Fourth Movement, was established by Chen Duxiu inShanghaiin 1915. The editorial office moved toBeijingin 1917 when Chen Duxiu was head of liberal arts atPekingUniversitybut moved back toShanghaithree years later.Address: No. 2,100 Nanchang Road, Huangpu districtFormer Residence of Chen WangdaoThis three-story building was the home of famous scholar and educator Chen Wangdao. In 1920, Chen completed the first Chinese translation ofThe Communist Manifesto(共产党宣言).

The Memorial of the Site of the First National Congress of the CPC.BI once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.InChina, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And thenthere's the “thousand talent scheme.” this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries aboutChina's research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, forChina, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It's not that simple.4. Why does the writer feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups did not cooperate well in the brainstorm.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.D. Because the students' ideas were lacking in creativeness.5. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.6. We can infer form the passage that ________.A. China can make and sell any product all over the world from its own creation.B. high pay may not solve the problem ofChina's research environment.C. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand.D. the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.7. Which is the best title for the passage?A Look for a new way of learning B. Reward creative thinkingC. How to become a creatorD. Establish a technical environmentCIf you travel inAthens, against popular belief, I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday. As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city, there are several reasons why you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins, and who wants to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.? On top of that, the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthenslessimportant in comparison, so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.We got to the southeast gate at 7：30, half an hour before it opened at 8. When the gate opened, we rushed to the hill. Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes. In this age of overtourism, getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill, and it’s made up of several buildings. There’s theTempleofAthena Nike, the Parthenon, the Old Temple of Athena, the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion... and on your way down, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Something that sounds boring but isn’t is theAcropolisMuseum, and I recommend spending a couple of hours there. As someone who is a museum-avoider, I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been, and made myself go inside. And I loved it. The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis, and it was interesting to check them out.Head toSyntagma Squarenext to watch the changing of the guard. This takes place every hour on the hour, so try to time your visit perfectly. The guards wear fun clothes and make for interesting photos.8. The author suggests visiting the Acropolis on the second day so that ___________.A. it can save visitors a lot of timeB. it can save visitors from getting up earlyC. it can make for a better travel experienceD. it can give visitors a better understanding ofAthens9. How did the author feel when he ran to the top of the hill?A. Bored.B. Worried.C. Relaxed.D. Amazed.10. With what may the author agree about theAcropolisMuseum?A. It is so great that it should be visited last.B. It is enjoyable and worth visiting.C. It wastes a lot of time.D. It should be avoided.11. What is the purpose of the text?A. To provide some advice on visiting the Acropolis.B. To introduce the history of the Acropolis.C. To call on people to protect historic sites.D. To encourage people to travel around.DConcerns about health, animals and the environment are leading more people to remove meat from their diet. Plant-based meat alternatives (替代品) increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants. But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratory—is still an idea that is just beginning.More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish, beef and chicken. These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market, which could be worth $140 billion by 2029. One of the companies, Shiok Meats, grows its product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature. They are then given nutrients in a solution (溶液). The cells become meat in four to six weeks.This lab-grown meat’s price is high. One kilogram of it now costs $5,000, said Shiok Meats’ chief executive Sandhya Sriram. At that cost, a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as $300. Sriram, avegetarian, hopes to cut the cost to $50 for one kilogram by the end of this year. “We are looking at next year, so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,” Sriram said. “Shiok Meats still needs approval from the city’s food regulator, and that matters the most at present.”Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives, cell-based meat companies still faceresistance(抵制) to their products. In Singapore, some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought. “I may not exactly dare to eat it, but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,” said 60-year-old Pet Loh, while sheshopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive, said Paul Teng, a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University. But, he added, more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.12. Why are more people eating less meat?A. Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.B. Because plant-based food is getting popular.C. Because meat in the market is increasingly expensive.D. Because health and the environment are their concerns.13. What is the most important for Shiok Meats at present according to Sriram?A. Bringing down the price.B. Gaining consumers’ acceptance.C. Obtaining official permission.D. Getting ahead of other companies.14. Which word best describes Pet Loh’s attitude towards lab-grown meat?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. Negative.D. Positive.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A new way to make a fortune.B. Negative results of lab-grown meat.C. New research findings on healthy diet.D. A meat alternative grown in labs.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。

郑州市 2016 年高中毕业年级第二次质量预测阅读理解AJumanji （勇敢者的游戏） is a story for children about a very strange game—a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, whichwas later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panisb, finds the box, and takes it home. He is unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school. Alan’s friend, Sarah, arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: ”Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game foryou, ”Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important—if you face your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to a boarding school after all.In Jumanji, time is flexible. The film director Spielberg ’s“Back to the Future”films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically possible!21. From the story we learn that Alan is a boy who .A. dislikes his study at schoolB. is afraid of his serious fatherC. was born a hundred years agoD. goes back to the past in the game22. Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should .A. escape into the pastB. face them bravelyC. ask for his father’s adviceD. read the words on the box23. What does the author mean when he says time is flexible?A. One can travel in time.B. Science can change the limit of time.C. Time travel is impossible in space.D. Time is a common topic in film-making.BIt ’sthat time of year when people need to lock their cars. It ’s not becausethere are a lot ofcriminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini （西葫芦） .My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year of tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. That ’s when she decided itwas time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborhood, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,”Sharon told her. Later that day, Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’tgo to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding a hot loaf of bread.The neighbor smiled pleasantly,”I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have toadmit that I took a few other things and hoped you wouldn’tmind.”Sharon couldn’tthink of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so,”Oh, but you did,”the neighbor said.“You had some of the prettiest zucchini ’Ive ever seen”.Sharon was confused. They hadn’teven planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon felt curious and decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When theneighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled,”Well, actually, those are cucumbers （黄瓜） that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating”.The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. She gulped（哽住）a few times, and then, smiling, held out the bread, part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood. “I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it”.24.Why does the author warn people in the neighborhood to lock their cars?A. They might be stolen by thieves at night.B. They might be moved away by the police.C. Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw cucumbers into them.25. How did Sharon’s friends react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A. They did not accept her kind offer.B. They were all delighted to have the tomatoes.C. They said they would go when they were free.D. They began to tell everyone they knew about it.26. What did the neighbor do in Sharon’s garden?A. She only harvested some tomatoes.B. She took some cucumbers mistakenly.C. She took something with Sharon’shelp.D. She harvested a few zucchini by accident.27. We can infer that the neighbor’s bread would taste .A. soft and sweetB. hard and sourC. funny and bitterD. fragrant and deliciousCLand Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapesto create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For examples, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty（螺旋状防波堤）, made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay（衰落）. That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.28.What can be learned from the first paragraph?nd Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.nd Art aims to get people interested in nature.C.American artists were the first to create Land Art.D.People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.29.What do we know about Robert Smithson?A. He is a great creative artist.B. He lives near the Great Salt Lake.C. He made the most famous Land Art.D. He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.30. One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in .A. it shows the extreme beauty of natureB. it develops and decays gradually over timeC. it combines the landscapes around completelyD. it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Works of Land Art.B. History of Land Art.C. Changes of Land Art.D. Introduction of Land Art.DPeople have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans（寿命） that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, Us has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors（肿瘤） developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,”the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous（癌变的） , large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox（悖论）”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop newtreatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,”said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, Us. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people”.32. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A. They have a rather large body size.B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.33. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A. Deadly tumors.B. The huge body mass.C. Cells killing themselves.D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.34.What does the underlined part”This phenomenon”in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?rger animals have protection from TP53.B.The risk of cancer is not related to body size.rger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.D.The huger animals are, the biggest risk of cancer they will have.35.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.B.The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.C.Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.D.The extra copies of elephants’genes are used to cure cancer patients.七选五Study Links Video Game Use to Problems in schoolA new study warns that too much time spent playing computer games could affect a child ’s performance at school. 36 They show that too many hours spent playing games can reduce students’chances of success in school.More than 600 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16 took part in the research project. 37 It is said to be the first ever long-term study in Northern Ireland on the influence of information technology on school test results.The study found that teenagers who played computer games less than once a week were moresuccessful in school than those who played them twice a day or more. 41% of the students who used gaming devices two or more times a day received passing grades on school exams. 38 The study found that social media use did not affect school performance.Caline McStravick is the director of the National Children ’s Bureau Northern Ireland. She says the study showed no connection between social media and test results. “39I think that’smore because social media is part of every child’s life. It ’s the way they communicate. It’sthe way they keep in touch with their friends.”Many parents say their children are becoming increasingly dependent on computer games.Some have compared gaming to a drug addiction.40It suggested that computer games cancause children to stay awake late at night. Less sleep makes children tired and unable to payattention in school the next day.A. However, the study did not explore addiction.B. The new games are much different from older ones.C. It was clear that social media didn’thave any effect.D. It took place over a period of three years from 2013 to 2015.E. That compared with 77% of those who rarely played the games.F. Drug addiction does great harm to their health and performance at school.G. Britain ’s National Children’s Bureau Northern Ireland reported the results of the study.完形填空I had just started my second year studying at Cambridge University when I was faced with the news I had never expected.

Most caves are formed 61nature under the ground, but some have entrances people can find. That’s just what happened one day in 1940. Four boys were taking62 walk in the woods near Montignac. As they walked along, one ofthem noticed an unusual rock. 63 they got closer, they found it wasn’ta rock but an opening inthe ground. This opening led to a cave, so they decided to have a look around it. The walls of thecave were 64 (cover) with ancient art. The boys didn’tknow it, but the cave was the find of the century!Over the years, many historians and artists came to study the art. They wanted to understandwho painted the pictures and65they might mean. They soon realized some of the art indicatedanimals that were on Earth a long time ago. Many of the pictures also showed people 66 (follow)animals and trying to kill them for food. In the end, historians agreed that this was likely to be theart of a civilization that existed over 15,000 years ago.By 1950, over a thousand people from all over the world were visiting the cave every day. Butby 1955, the paintings were beginning to become difficult 67(see). Many people were passingthrough the cave, so the paintings were losing their color.68(sad), people can no longer visitthe cave. However, another set of cave paintings has been created. These paintings look exactly thesame69 the Lascaux Cave Paintings. People70(make) the paintings so that everyonecan still learn about this great ancient civilization.短文改错Have you ever been to Wuzhen?

He was born in 1942. He’s world well-known on space and time. Stephen was searching some very big questions, such as “How did the universe begin? How will it en d?”Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.” As a matter of fact, the doctors were wrong –he didn’t die. He can’t walk but he uses a wheelchair. He can’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy(哲学).Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1981, he met the Pope(教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.

His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. ＂You are lucky, Ron＂, he said. ＂For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen without.＂So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his schooldays as a time of treat variety（多样化）and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an eldly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.1．By saying＂For every boy with a job these days, there is a dozen without＂, Ron’s father meant: _________A．At that time boys had jobs but girls didn’t.B．Every boy could only have one job because there weren’t enough.C．There must have been at least twelve boys who had lost their jobs.D．Ron was lucky to have a job while many others didn’t have one.2．It took about a year for Ron to realize that __________.A．he worked well because he was interested in the jobB．his work at the supermarket was dullC．being at work was much better than going to schoolD．the store manager wanted to get rid of him3．Ron left his first job because __________.A．he wanted to at the seasideB．he knew he would work in BournemouthC．he got a free lift on a lorryD．he didn’t feel well4．What does the word ＂it＂underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A．The money.

So which country, except English-speaking countries, speaks English best? And where does China rank(排名)?The Netherlands(荷兰) ranked first, followed by Denmark and Sweden. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results of 950, 000 people from 72 countries and areas.The English level in China is still low, ranking 39th. In China, people in Shanghai are the best English speakers. They speak better English than Italians and French. Hong Kong and Beijing follow Shanghai as China’s next bestEnglish-speaking cities.Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities. However, across China, English level is different from east to west. China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching of English in some areas is not very good. According to the People’s Daily Online, there are seventy primary schools in Shetianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorizaton(死记硬背). Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy(瑞典大使馆) in Beijing, gave some advice. Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese.

He pulled out fast food trash bags and inspected all that was in the thrown-away bags, but he never stopped anyone to beg for money or anything else as they entered or left my store. After he went through the entire trash can, he carefully cleaned up the area and wrapped up the food he found in the dirty hamburger wrapper. My heart literally hurt for him.I decided to help him. I got out of my car and asked him if I could buy him something to eat. He thanked and followed me to the fast food place around the block. I bought him the biggest meal they had on the menu. He didn't ask for anything and the only request was a big glass of hot sweet tea to go with his meal. When I brought him the food, he was so thankful. He told me how much he appreciated the meal.I wanted to give him some money. He shook his head. I asked him if I could buy a few meals and put it on a gift card for him. He agreed.As I handed him the gift card, he broke down crying. He told me that he prayed for me today. I wasn't sure what he meant (I was guessing he was praying for me for what I did for him) so I thanked him.“NO, I prayed that God would send someone to buy me a hot meal today … and he sent you!” Tears traced down his checks.I didn't know what to say… I always pray over my food, but I've never prayed for a meal. I've never doubted that I wouldn’t be able to eat …Tears began to fill my eyes. Oh my…how blessed am I…Maybe God used me to answer this man’s prayer.Everybody has a story though I didn't know his, but I had done what God wanted me to. God put him in mypath …I knew he did.

2020年郑州市第二中学高三英语二模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ALast summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work inMinneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted. “Hey. I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.” Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.Up to now, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts around the city to people with little influence, and she is strongly aware of the power of her cleanup job.As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, causing her hair to get thinned, so her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own barbershop so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology (美容术) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely peoplelooked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”1. How does the writer begin the passage?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving a reason.C. By raising a question.D. By describing a scene.2. What made Stellar start the Red Chair Project?A. Her mother’s love for her.B. Her interest in cosmetology.C. Her care for those in need.D. Her wish to fight severe diseases.3. What did Stellar expect from the project?A. To spread kindness.B. To solve social problems.C. To deal with relationships.D. To make people look smarter.BAs I was walking home，a boy seemed to be singing a song in a very low voice，walking infront of me and carrying some of the same high school books I had with me.I caught up to him，and said “Hello”．I could tell he wasstartled，and dropped one of his books.I picked it up and as I handed it to him，he said “Thank you.” in a strange way，like witha strong accent.We soon began walking together and talking.It turns out he was in my science class，and I didn’t even know it!His name was Ahmad，and his family had just moved here this school year.He invited me into his house，and his family treated me like a special guest，which made me feel very welcome.He said hospitality (好客) is very basic to his culture，and strangers were always treated very kindly.His mom brought out some great food，and offered me some tea.Ahmad’s father and two sisters wanted to hearall about me and my family，and my schooling.Ahmad’s whole family had to leave their lifelong home because war had broken out，and it wasn’t safe there anymore.They left with only what they could carry.His family was happy to feel safe，and they got used toAmerican culture quickly.They seemed pleased that Ahmad had brought a friend home to meet them.And as my friendship with Ahmad has continued，I now realize that the world is so much bigger than I thought！I also realize that your friends don’t have to be just like you.Differences make the world go round.4.

After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 am and Richard Branson at 5：45 am﹣and, as we all know, "the early bird's catches the worm. "But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it's a trait most of them share？And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, visualized and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life？For about half of us, this isn't really an issue. It's estimated that some 50% of the population isn't really morning or evening﹣oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright﹣eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self﹣directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they plan for the future more and have a better sense of well﹣being.Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive（认知）ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night﹣time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls areas healthy and wise as morning types﹣and a little bit wealthier.Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material？Don't set your alarm for 5 am Just yet. As it turns out, overhauling（全面改革）your sleep time may not have much effect"If people are left to their naturally preferred time, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader, " says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin（褪黑素）. "Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequence. " Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose（葡萄糖）which can cause weight gain.8. What does the authordo in the first three paragraph？A. raising the problem→analyzing the problem → solving the problemB. leading in the topic→challenging a viewpoint → discussing about the topicC. presenting a viewpoint → providing supporting proofs→making a conclusionD. introducing a viewpoint →raising the question→presenting author's viewpoint9. What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph？A. Morning types tend to have clear goals and better mood.B. To beat night﹣time people ask them to do math calculation in themorning.C. Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.D. Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.10. Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support？A. Don't fall sleep in front of the TV.B. Avoid being regularly late for work.C. Stop setting your alarm for 5 am.D. Better not overhaul your sleep time.11. Why does the author write this article？A. To explain why some people are more successful.B.To compare the differences between early risersand night owls.C. To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late.D. To argue against this view that the Carly bird catches the worm.DIn May this year, as part of our 150th anniversary, we asked readers aged between18 and 25 to enter an essay competition. The task was to tell us, in no more than 1,000 words, what scientific advance they would most like to see in their lifetimes, and why it mattered to them.The response was phenomenal: we received 661 entries. Some entrants hoped that science would make their lifetimes much longer than they can currently expect. Many looked forward to work that will end climate change. Others wanted to see advances in our understanding of human history, crop growth, space exploration, and medical technologies. The ideas were inspiring.The winner is a compelling essay by Yasmin Ali, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham, UK. Ali submitted a piece on Beethoven, her brother’s hearing loss and the science which she hoped would one day cure it. It stood out to the judges as a reminder of why many scientists do research: to make the world better tomorrowthan it is today.All essays were judged by a group of Nature editors. The top ten submissions were then ranked by three members of a separate judging group: Magdalena Skipper, editor-in-chief of Nature; Faith Osier, a researcher; and Jess Wade, a physicist. All submissions were kept anonymous throughout the process.We also selected two runners-up(非冠军的获奖者).Physicist Robert Schittkoat Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, proposes that nuclear fusion(核聚变) could offer a solution to the climate crisis, in a piece that effortlessly mixes grand ambition with gentle humour. And chemist Matthew Zajac at the University of Chicagoin Illinois wrote a powerful personal account of why he wants to see advances in the field of same-sex reproduction.The results show that today’s young scientists have a wealth of ideas, talent and conviction that research can transform their world. We look forward to seeing what they do next.12. What’s the essay competition about?A. The scientific expectation.B. The fantastic scientific ideas.C. The dreams of future life.D. The celebration of anniversary.13. Why Yasmin Ali was chosen the winner?A. She showed great talent in music.B. She found the cure for the loss of hearing.C. She appealed for people to care about hearing loss problem.D. She reminded people to remember the meaning of science development.14. What can we learn about the result of the essay competition?A. Robert Schittko won the second place.B. There were two winners in the essay competition.C. Matthew Zajac presented his view of same-sex reproduction.D. The two runners-up were selected for the same field they chose.15. What isthe author’s attitude to the competitors’ ideas about science expectations?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Impossible.D. Ignorant.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。
