The old man looked cold, until Norah shouted to him, “Hi! It’s my birthday today!” The man stopped and his demeanor changed from distant and serious to warm and friendly. “How old are you today?” the man asked. After some time talking together, Norah asked her mom to take a picture of her with her new friend “Mr Dan”, Dan Peterson, 82. They hugged and after ten minutes went their separate ways. That could have been the end of the story. But it is actually the beginning of a special relationship.Tara posted the picture of her daughter and Mr. Dan on Facebook and someone who recognized him reached out to her with his contact information. It turned out that Mr. Dan’s wife d ied in March and he had been suffering from depression and anxiety ever since. The person on Facebook told Tara that it was the first time they had seen Mr. Dan smile since the death of his wife. Knowing that, Tara contacted Mr. Dan, and ever since Norah and the 82-year-old have developed a friendship unlike any other. “She has shown me a depth of love, a depth that I didn’t know existed,” Mr. Dan told the reporter.Mr. Dan told Tara that before meeting Norah, he hadn’t had one night of uninterrupted sleep. Anxiety kept him up at all hours and made him restless. After meeting Norah, he said he now sleeps soundly. For Mr. Dan’s 82nd birthda y on October 20, the mother and the daughter brought balloons and presents—and, of course, cupcakes. Mr. Dan will also spend a day around Thanksgiving with Norah and her family. “If you don’t take the time to notice people, you will never know how you can positively impact a life,” Tara Wood said.31. Mr. Dan looked cold because _____.A. he felt lonelyB. he disliked little kidsC. nobody had hugged himD. he knew little about Norah32. The underlined word “demeanor” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.A. wordsB. bodyC. thoughtsD. attitude33. How did Tara know more about Mr. Dan?A. From a news reporter.B. From a stranger.C. From a shop assistant.D. From his neighbor.34. What can we learn from the story?A. Giving makes a real difference.B. It is important to respect each other.C. We should not judge a person at first sight.D. Good things will happen if one keeps trying.The STAR Eco Station is an environmental science museum, a wildlife rescue center, and a shelter for endangered and illegally-traded foreign animals confiscated（没收）by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It carries out the mission “Preservation through Education” by educating visitors about the preservation of the environment and the inter-dependence of all living things.Field tripsSTAR Eco Station hosts field trips for schools and camps throughout Southern California. Each field trip lasts two hours, consisting of a one-hour gathering and a one-hour tour of the facility, with lessons associated with California State Science Standards.Throughout the field trip, students learn about the latest developments in environmental protection and the ways in which wildlife interacts with various ecosystems. The students also receive an up-close and hands-on experience with our rescued foreign wildlife. The tour includes different environmental exhibits that showcase the ways students can help protect animals in the wild.Field trips are offered on weekdays only, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. or 12 p.m.-2 p.m. The rate is $6 per visitor, both child and adult, with a $120 minimum. We offer one free adult per 10 children for groups of 40 or more. Maximum capacity is 120 people per field trip.Public toursGuided tours of the STAR Eco Station introduce visitors to over two hundred rescued foreign wildlife. Each tour is led by an Eco Station staff member, and features fun animal facts, hands-on animal encounters, surprising rescue stories, environmental exhibits, and original approaches to going green. Visitors may only see the animals on a guided tour, for both your safety and the safety of our animals.The guided tour lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. Visitors are served on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are required. However, tours may sell out. We suggest larger groups schedule a private tour.Note:Our regular public tours times are subject to change without notice. Please call in advance for the most up-to-date information.35. The STAR Eco Station aims to ________.A. help research wildlife abroadB. collect money for animal sheltersC. raise awareness of wildlife protectionD. provide a knowledge of unusual animals36. What can students do during a field trip?A. Make a speech on the environment.B. Take part in foreign wildlife rescue.C. Get to know why species get endangered.D. Learn how living things affect each other.37. For a guided tour, visitors should know that _____.A. large groups are served firstB. it is available on weekdaysC. its time could changeD. booking is neededLove the way you walkListen carefully to the footsteps in the family home, and you can probably work out who is walking about. The features most commonly used to identify people are faces, voices and fingerprints. But the way they walk is also a giveaway.Researche rs have used video cameras and computers to analyze people’s gaits, and are now quite good at it. But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky. Cameras are often visible, are difficult to set up, require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. A team led by Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.Such mats are nothing new. They have been part of security systems. But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it. These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker. The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns, and it seemed to work. In a study in 2018, they tested the system on a database of footsteps of 127 people. They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Scully says even without a database of footste ps to work with, the system can determine someone’s sex and, with reasonable accuracy, a subject’s age.One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might be in health care, particularly for the elderly. A mat placed in a nursing home or an old person’s own residence could monitor changes in an individual’s gait that indicates certain illnesses. That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over.Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace, monitoring access to restricted areas, such as parts of military bases, server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials.Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats, though, would be in public places, such as airports. For that to work, the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database, which would be harder to arrange than the collection of photographs and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on. Many aircrew or preregistered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel.38. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. Research equipment.B. Research findings.C. Research assumption.D. Research background.39. According to Paragraph 3, the mat is used to _______.A. collect dataB. ensure safetyC. determine ageD. analyse pressure40. The gait-recognition system might be applied to _____.A. monitor security work progressB. detect potential health problemsC. keep track of travelling frequencyD. warn passengers of possible dangers41. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. compare and educateB. examine and assessC. discuss and persuadeD. explain and informOvertourism: A growing global problemThe summer holidays are in full swing—and protests againstovertourism have begun in a number of popular European cities.Barcelona, in particular, is at the centre of these mounting concernsabout the rapid growth of tourism in cities, especially during peakholiday periods. In fact, there were 30 million overnight visitors in2017, compared to a resident population of 1,625,137 in Barcelona.While many tourists want to “live like a local” during theirvisits, the residents of many tourism-dependent destinations are seeing the unique sense of place that characterised their home towns vanish beneath a wave of souvenir shops, crowds, tour buses and noisy bars. Overtourism is harming the landscape, damaging beaches, and pricing residents out of the housing market. It is a hugely complex issue that is often oversimplified.It can have an impact in multiple ways. The international cruise(游轮) industry, for example, delivers thousands of passengers daily to destination ports. While comparatively little is returned to communities, cruise activity creates physical and visual pollution.City residents also bear the cost of tourism growth. As cities transform to offer service to tourists, the global travel supply chain advances. This goes with increasing property speculation(房产投机) and rising costs of living for local communities. Airbnb, for example, has been accused of reducing housing affordability and displacing residents.In addition, overcrowding and the establishment of typical tourism-focused businesses, such as clubs, bars and souvenir shops, overpower local businesses—and noisy and unmanageable tourist behaviour is common. This weakens the uniqueness of destinations and leads to crowd and waste management pressures.Clearly, tourism brings jobs, investment and economic benefits to destinations. But overtourism occurs when tourism expansion fails to acknowledge that there are limits. Local government and planning authorities have so far been powerless to deal with the irresistible influence of the global tourism supply chain. This has led to widespread “tourist-phobia”—first described by Manuel Delgado more than a decade ago as a mixture of rejection, mistrust and disrespect for tourists.Dealing with overtourism must now be a priority. Managing the flow of tourists seems an improbable and unwelcome task. But some cities have taken extreme measures to limit the effects of overtourism, including the introduction of new or revised taxation arrangements, fines linked to new local laws, and “demarketing”, whereby destinatio ns focus on attracting fewer, high-spending and low impact tourists, rather than large groups.Overtourism is a shared responsibility. City administrators and destination managers must acknowledge that there are definite limits to growth. Putting the wellbeing of local residents above the needs of the global tourism supply chain is vital. Primary consideration must be given to ensuring that the level of visitation fits within a destination’s capacity. We need to urgently rethink the way cities are evolving to uphold the rights of their residents.42. Why is Barcelona mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To describe how unique the city is.B. To warn people away from popular cities.C. To show how crowded a destination can be.D. To compare the number of visitors to that of locals.43. What is the problem of overtourism?A. It has destroyed local businesses.B. It has led to higher living expenses.C.It has increased the unemployment rate.D. It has caused mistrust among local communities.44. The reason for overtourism is that _______.A. destinations misjudge their capacityB. tourists lack a sense of responsibilityC. governments fail to support the supply chainD. tourists’ travelling preference is oversimplified45. According to the writer, what should the local governments do?A. Take full advantage of tourism.B. Guarantee local people’s welfare.C. Advocate a ban on global tourism.D. Control tourism-related businesses.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）A cultural view on personal spaceIt’s a well-known fact that the British prefer a large “bubble” of personal space around them.46 And in South America, a friend may grab you by the arm during conversation to make their point.Now, a study published in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology has looked into why different cultures have such different approaches to personal space.47 They developed an earlier study that divided individuals into “contact” and “non-contact” cultures. Contact cultures—southern European, Latin American and Arabian—engaged in more touching and stood closer during conversation than non-contact cultures in northern Europe, North America and parts of Asia.To a degree, this proved correct. Argentina becomes known as the most touchy-feely nation; people here keep the same distance from a stranger as a British person would an acquaintance and a Canadian individual a close friend or partner. 48 They come out with the widest distance you should stand from a stranger—more than 1.3m—but one of the narrowest gaps for close friends, just 40cm, compared to nearly 60cm for a British person. So the theory of warm versus cold is not as straightforward as it sounds.49 The higher a country’s average temperature, the closer people will stand to a stranger. But older people in warm climates keep a bigger distance from close friends and stand closer to strangers; women generally keep a greater distance from someone they don’t know.The academics leading this study admit that there is a lot more to do. But what we do know is to keep your distance in Canada; prepare for a hug in Argentina. 50 They like to stand closer than anybody. To keep warm, perhaps.A. It’s important to get the distance right, though.B. Romanians clearly take longer to establish trust.C. How close we stand to other people varies widely between countries.D. And if you end up on good terms with a Norwegian, don’t draw back.E. However, in India people will pack into trains and buses without a second thought.F. One theory the researchers wanted to test was whether climate affects personal space.G. The study certainly found that climate, age and gender have an effect on personal distance across cultures.第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）假设你是红星中学学生李华。

I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting． But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”．The very purest form of waiting is the Watched﹣Pot Wait． It is without doubt the most annoying of all． Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池） as an example． There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full． During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks． This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．A cousin to the Watched﹣Pot Wait is the Forced Wait． This one requires a bit of discipline． Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait． Directions are very specific．“Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer threeminutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes．”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly． After all, Forced Waiting requires patience．Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky﹣Break Wait． This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary． Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for theoptimists among us． On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky﹣Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it． As longas one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate．You’re probably just as busy as the next guy．（1） While doing a Watched﹣Pot Wait， we tend to________．A.keep ourselves busy．B.get absent﹣minded．C.grow anxious．D.stay focused．（2） What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched﹣Pot Wait？________A.The Forced Wait requires some self﹣control．B.The Forced Wait makes people passive．C.The Watched﹣Pot Wait needs directions．D.The Watched﹣Pot Wait engages body and brain．（3） What can we learn about the Lucky﹣Break Wait？________A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．B.It doesn’t a lways bring the desired result．C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．D.It doesn’t give people faith and hope．（4） The author supports his view by________．A.exploring various causes of “waits”．B.describing detailed processes of “waits”．C.analyzing different categories of “waits”．D.revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”．【答案】BABC【考点】阅读理解综合完形综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了等待分为三种，我们不应该在等待时失去信心．【解答】（1）B．细节理解题．根据第二段There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks可知当我们盯着罐子看的时候，我们倾向于心不在焉；故选B．（2）A．细节理解题．根据第三段After all，Forced Waiting requires patience可知强迫等待与被监视的等待的区别是强迫等待需要一些自制力；故选A．（3）B．细节理解题．根据文章Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen可知幸运的等待并不总是带来预期的结果；故选B．（4）C．推理判断题．根据文章To understand the issue，let’s take a look at three types of“waits可知作者证明自己的观点通过分析不同类别的”等待；故选C．4. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep． But now a study has found it really does help people nod off﹣if it is milked from a cow at night．Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin（褪黑激素）, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night．Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax．Milk is also sugar﹣free and additive﹣free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening． The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night．（1）According to the text， the mice fed with daytime milk________．A.started sleep more easily ．B.were more anxious．C.were less active ．D.woke up later．（2）Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text？________A.It’s been tested on mice for ten times．B.It can make people more energetic．C.It exists in milk in great amount．D.It’s used in sleeping drugs．（3）What can be a suitable title for the text？________A.Night Milk and Sleep ．B.Fat， Sugar and Health．C.An Experiment on Mice ．k Drinking and Health．（4）How does the author support the theme of the text？________A.By giving examples．B.By stating arguments．C.By explaining statistical data．D.By providing research results．【答案】BDAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠．【解答】（1）B．细节理解题．由第四段第一句“Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime”可知，那些喝了白天产的牛奶的老鼠比喝晚上产的牛奶的老鼠要更活跃和焦虑．故正确答案为B．（2）D．细节理解题．由第二段“Researchers have discovered that’night milk’contains more melatonin，which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety”可知，褪黑色素可以使人有困意，因此可以用于安眠药中，D项正确．C项，“褪黑激素使得人们更加有能量”，与文中所提到的褪黑激素使老鼠变得没有活力不符，C项错误；B项，“牛奶中有很多褪黑激素”，由第三段第一句“Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin”可知晚上产的牛奶中存在很多褪黑色素而不是所有牛奶，B项错误．A项，“褪黑激素在老鼠身上测试过10次”，文章未提及，A项错误；故正确答案为D．（3）A．主旨大意题．本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠，故正确答案为A．（4）D．细节理解题．由文章第二段“Researchers have discovered that’nightmilk’contains more melatonin …”和倒数第二段“Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps peopleto relax．”可知，作者通过提供调查结果来阐明整篇文章主旨．故正确答案为D．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．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。

grow quickly，especially their feet，but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them．As a result，about 300 million children around the world go barefoot．Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil．An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids ﹣ a shoe that grows with the child．Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows．He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long．"It grows in three places：the front；it can also grow on the side with Velcro；and on the back with our buckle．It can last up to five years．The bottom iscompressed rubber like tire rubber．The top is just high﹣quality leather．" The shoe comes in two sizes：small that fits children aged 4to 9and large for children aged 9to 14．Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya．"…and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me．And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were．They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out．And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet？"However，Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality．"I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that．"Finally，in 2009 Lee founded a non﹣profit organization called Because International．In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise．"I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done．So，those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years．"24．Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes？ A．They are more expensive．B．They are not so comfortable．C．They can grow with a child．D．They come in different sizes．25．Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for？ A．All the teenagers．B．Children aged 4to 14．C．Middle﹣aged women in

does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office？ A．To remind him of his promise．B．To copy the design of them．C．To get a change conveniently．D．To use them as an example．28．I read somewhere

rats are not allowed to sleep，they die within a month．（36） One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories．（37） We know that，while awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing （加强）connections between brain cells，but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear．Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons（神经元）in the brain can be weakened overnight，making room for fresh memories to form the next day．（38） Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right．（39） The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 percent smaller than those taken before sleep，showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping．If Tononi's theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night′s，we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information ﹣our brains may have smaller room for new experiences．Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner．The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size．（40） "You keep what matters，" Tononi says．A．We should also try to sleep well the night before．B．It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories．C．Similarly，when people go for a few days without sleeping，they get sick．D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories．E．That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning．F．"Sleep is the price we pay for learning，" says Giulio Tononi，who developed the idea．G．Tononi's team measured the size of these connections，or synapses，in the brains of 12mice．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（共20

children around the world go barefoot．Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil．An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids ﹣ a shoe that grows with the child．Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows．He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long．"It grows in three places：the front；it can also grow on the side with Velcro；and on the back with our buckle．It can last up to five years．The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber．The top is just high﹣quality leather．" The shoe comes in two sizes：small that fits children aged 4to 9and large for children aged 9to 14．Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya．"…and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me．And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were．They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out．And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if therewere a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet？"However，Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality．"I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that．"Finally，in 2009 Lee founded a non﹣profit organization called Because International．In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise．"I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done．So，those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years．"24．Which of the following is the characteristic

to 14 可知，这款鞋子是专为4至14岁的孩子设计的，并不是针对所有的青少年，B项符合题意．故正确答案为B．26．B．主旨题．根据第四段第一句Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya 以及随后Lee 说的话可知，本段主要是讲Lee

可知，他这样做的目的是为了记住自己的承诺，A项符合题意．故正确答案为A．28．I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting．But where are we doing all of this waiting，and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours？To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of "waits"．The very purest form of waiting is the Watched﹣Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池）as an example．There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks．This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．A cousin to the Watched﹣Pot Wait is the Forced Wait．This one requires a bit of discipline．Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait．Directions are very specific．"Bring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutes．"I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly．After all，Forced Waiting requires patience．Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky﹣Break Wait．This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes，but the Lucky﹣Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn't come to rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky，don't be desperate．You're probably just as busy as the next guy．28．While doing a Watched﹣Pot Wait，we tend to　B　．A．keep ourselves busyB．get absent﹣mindedC．grow anxiousD．stay focused29．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched﹣Pot Wait？　A　A．The Forced Wait requires some self﹣control．B．The Forced Wait makes people passive．C．The Watched﹣Pot Wait needs directions．D．The Watched﹣Pot Wait engages body and brain．30．What can we learn about the Lucky﹣Break Wait？　B　A．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．B．It doesn't always bring the desired result．C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．D．It doesn't give people faith and hope．31．The author supports his view by　C　．A．exploring various causes of "waits"．B．describing detailed processes of "waits"．C．analyzing different categories of "waits"D．revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"【考点】OB：人生感悟类阅读．【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了等待分为三种，我们不应该在等待时失去信心．【解答】BDBC28．B．细节理解题．根据第二段There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks可知当我们盯着罐子看的时候，我们倾向于心不在焉；故选B．29．A．细节理解题．根据第三段After all，Forced Waiting requires patience可知强迫等待与被监视的等待的区别是强迫等待需要一些自制力；故选A．30．B．细节理解题．根据文章Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen可知幸运的等待并不总是带来预期的结果；故选B．31．C．推理判断题．根据文章To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of"waits可知作者证明自己的观点通过分析不同类别的"等待；故选C．32．A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep．But now a study has found it really does help people nod off﹣if it is milked from a cow at night．Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin（褪黑激素），which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．Those given night milk，which contained 10times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night．Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax．Milk is also sugar﹣free and additive﹣free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening．The morefat you take in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night．32．According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk　B　．A．started sleep more easilyB．were more anxiousC．were less activeD．woke up later33．Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text？　D　A．It's been tested on mice for ten times．B．It can make people more energetic．C．It exists in milk in great amount．D．It's used in sleeping drugs．34．What can be a suitable title for the text？　A　A．Night Milk and SleepB．Fat，Sugar and HealthC．An Experiment on MiceD．Milk Drinking and Health35．How does the author support the theme of the text？　D　A．By giving examples．B．By stating arguments．C．By explaining statistical data．D．By providing research results．【考点】O6：社会文化类阅读．【分析】本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠．【解答】BDAD32．B．细节理解题．由第四段第一句"Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime"可知，那些喝了白天产的牛奶的老鼠比喝晚上产的牛奶的老鼠要更活跃和焦虑．故正确答案为B．33．D．细节理解题．由第二段"Researchers have discovered that'night milk'contains more melatonin，which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety"可知，褪黑色素可以使人有困意，因此可以用于安眠药中，D项正确．C 项，"褪黑激素使得人们更加有能量"，与文中所提到的褪黑激素使老鼠变得没有活力不符，C项错误；B项，"牛奶中有很多褪黑激素"，由第三段第一句"Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin"可知晚上产的牛奶中存在很多褪黑色素而不是所有牛奶，B项错误．A项，"褪黑激素在老鼠身上测试过10次"，文章未提及，A 项错误；故正确答案为D．34．A．主旨大意题．本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠，故正确答案为A．35．D．细节理解题．由文章第二段"Researchers have discovered that'night milk'contains more melatonin …"和倒数第二段"Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium。

这套试卷，无论从题目的难度，还是题型的设置，都基本延续了2017年北京卷的出题模式。

但值得注意的是，今年的考题也出现了一些变化，如应用文写作愈加体现交际功能。

我们也能从中窥探出高考英语未来的命题趋势。

单项填空语法部分延续往年，重点考查了时态和语态、非谓语动词、三大从句等考点。

其中，时态和语态3道，非谓语动词3道，三大从句4道，虚拟语气1道，代词1道，连词1道，介词1道，情态动词1道，难度与去年持平。

该部分考生应学会识别考点并运用相应的解题步骤。

1.【答案】C【翻译】--------你能得到一份新工作真幸运啊!------一个朋友告诉我这个事情,所以我申请了并且得到了工作。

【解析】此题考查时态语态;句中所有的时间均为纯过去,所以此处填C。

A为一般时间,B现在完成时横跨过去和现在,D要求精准的时间;故正确答案是C。

2.【答案】D【翻译】我可以清晰的记得我第一次遇见李女士,虽然是十年前的时候了。

【解析】本题考查状语从句从属连词的选择,根据句意可知,主句和从句构成让步关系, unless表示条件, since 表示因果, after表示时间段;根据句意,故正确答案是D。

3. 【答案】D【翻译】他们]将飞去伦敦,在伦敦会停留两到三周。

【解析】此题考查定语从句;此题主句完整,注意从句中的stay为不及物动词,所以从句也完整,先行词London 为地点;故正确答案是D。

4. 【答案】A【翻译】狗的听力范围比人类更广,让它们能够觉察出人类听力范围以外的声音。

【解析】此题考查非谓语动词;A主动,B表示被动,C表示主动之前,D表示将要被,根据句make与前方主语构成主动关系且不强调先后;故正确答案是A。

5. 【答案】A【翻译】一你什么时候和我一起去看史密斯先生。

一不论何时你有时间都可以。

【解析】此题考查时态语态;根据答句,不论何时都可以的时间即为不强调时间,B强调将来,C强调过去和现在,D强调过去;故正确答案是A。

Bad News for the Highly IntelligentThere are advantages to being smart. People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.51 In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood (情绪) disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiologic al “overexcitabilities”, or OE. 52 This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent. 53The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder. 54 All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated characteristics. 55In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.A. Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.C. It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.E. That may cause the body’s stress respons e, which may make the person even more anxious.F. It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.G. They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.51．A 52．C 53．E 54．F 55．B【东城二模】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
