2017甘肃高考英语试卷及答案及英语复习考试卷(2)DSpeed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age.We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text.Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line.But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation.A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones.They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones.Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand other's mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information.left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information.Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian. Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sitback, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you'll never lose your place.”67.The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________.A.the new trend of slow readingB.the decline of electronic devicesC.the importance of exchanging ideasD.the increasing number of club readers68.According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________.A.a non-stop reading patternB.the straight, left-to-right screenC.a wide range of interesting newsD.the lack of reflection69.According to the passage, slow reading___________.A.contributes to understanding among peopleB.promotes the current technology advancesC.provides people with a quiet environmentD.cures the memory loss of elderly people70.What's the best title for the passage?A.Benefit of Reading Clubs.B.Return of Slow Reading.C.Reading of the Internet Age.D.Influence of Speed Reading.第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分,共10 分)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。

ATravel experts across the globe publish much-anticipated lists that aim to excite readers about upcoming travel trends. Here is a 2018 list that urges travelers to explore new cities, try new food, experience new cultures and gain new views. ChileThis long, skinny slice of South America successfully packs a powerful punch, with strange charms in Valparaiso, excellent wine in the Maipo Valley and diverse landscapes across the Arcadian Desert, Chilean Patagonia and Easter Island.Flying is the most convenient way to get around, but flights are not cheap. Buses are more wallet-friendly, and Chile’s bus system is effic ient, but bus journeys can easily take 17 to 36 hours. MontenegroThe country’s coastline is its best feature, and its winding coastal roads and mountain-meets-ocean scenery create the perfect background for a road trip. Sleepy seaside towns along the Bay of Kotor are home to mom-and-pop restaurants and elegant hotels, while the walled city of Koror offers views of the classic red rooftops of the Adriatic. MadagascarMadagascar，the world’s fourth-largest island one of the most biodiverse (生物多样的) places on the planet, has been rapidly affected by climate change.Visiting the country can serve as an educational opportunity for travelers who want to understand the bad effects of global warming and irresponsible human actions, Some can’t-miss experiences in Madagascar include swimming and snorkeling around Nosy Be, spotting lemurs (狐猴) in Ranomafana National Park, admiring the rocky landscapes of Isalo National Park and a sunset walk along the Avenue of the Baobabs. Abu Dhabi, the UAE After 10 years of planning and nearly $2 billion in costs, the Louvre Abu Dhabi celebrated its grand opening on Nov. 11, 2017. Now, lovers of art and architecture are racing to the United Arab Emirates’ capital to sec its newest feat of modern design - the product of French archi tect Jean Nouvel. The Louvre Abu Dhabi’s slogan, “see humanity in a new light”, draws attention to the museum^ mission to emphasize the commonalities and celebrate the differences between Eastern and Western art.While in Abu Dhabi, travelers can also ch eck out the city’s other famous architectural wonder - Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque - which was rated the worlds second-best landmark in TripAdvisor’s 2017 Travelers’ Choice Awards.1. Which of the following is a disadvantage of travelling by bus in Chile?A. It is very expensive.B. It may not help you save time.C. Buses don’t run at busy hours.D. Buses are always very crowded.2. What do you know about travelling in Madagascar from the passage?A. It’s much cheaper lo go around by bus than by plane.B. You can take a good trip along the beautiful coastal roads.C. You can learn more about the impacts of climate change,D. It’s a good chance to sec green mountains and red rooftops.3. If you are interested in art and architecture, you can travel to ________.A. ChileB. MontenegroC. MadagascarD. Abu Dhabi, the UAEBA successful businessman, addressing the commercial club of his city, told a story of an orphan (孤儿) named Jim.Jim was 12 years old, who was the laughing stock of the whole town. He never remembered having a kind word spoken to him in his whole life. One day as Jim walked down the street, he saw some flowers slip from a little lady’s arms just in front of him. Jim gathered up the flowers and replaced them in her arms. “Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy.” she said kindly, and went on her way after giving him a bright smile.Jim was amazed. These were the first kind words he had ever heard in his whole twelve years of existence. He stood and stared after her until she was out of sight, then he made straight for a stream. He sat down on the bank of the stream and did some thinking. “Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy,” he thought. Finally the boy pulled from his pockets a piece of broken mirror and looked at himself. He saw nothing but dirt. He went down to the water and washed his face carefully, almost painfully. Then he looked again. He scarcely recognized himself. He stood straight and looked up instead of down for the first time since he could remember.A feeding of self-respect awoke within his being. At that moment the course of his life was changed; a determination to be worthy of the kind words spoken to him by the little lady, and to pass them on, took possession of his soul. After telling this story of Jim, the speaker paused and then he shocked the audience by saying, “Gentlemen, I was that boy. That gentle woman implanted in my life the first seed of kindness. As a tribute to her memory I havetold you this story.”4. What does the author mea n by “the laughing stock” in paragraph 2?A. Jim liked playing jokes on others.B. Jim was always laughed at by others,C. Jim was good at making others happy.D. Jim had interest in telling funny stories.5. Which of the following words can be used to describe the lady?A. Brave.B. Clever.C. Friendly.D. Honest.6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Jim wanted people to say kind words to others.B. The lady became very famous because of that story.C. It was the first time for Jim to tell his story to others.D. Jim made a tot of money by telling his stories to others.7. What is the best title for the text?A. A Story of JimB. A Good LadyC. A Kind WordD. A Successful BusinessmanCChildren all over the world who have tried the potato or lemon battery experiments know that an electrical current can be generated by creating a reaction between the food and two different metals. However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found a way to harvest power from trees. They use the same metal for both electrodes (电极) specifically in order not to confuse this effect with the potato effect.While proving that trees can provide a source of power is a significant step, a key question remains: can the tiny voltage (电压) produced by a tree be used for anything useful? Now scientists are debating over how to use this power source for human benefits.The most practical thing is fire alarm for forest department, originating from the tree itself. Trees electric power can charge a battery. This battery in turn will be connected to a small sensor. This sensor will power a brief radio transmission (传送). That radio signal will transport daily soil and air condition measurements to a network of much larger, solar powered Forest- Service environmental monitoring stations. Those sensors wilt also give out a crisis signal in the event of a sudden rise in-air temperature-that might indicate the outbreak of a forest fire.“I truly believe it has potential,” said Victoria Henderson, branch chief for equipment and chemicals at the Forest Serviced National Interagency Fire Center. “If this can enhance (提高) our existing technology to a degree that would gain us a lot more fire protection, then we’d look at a plan to purchase it for our nationwide infrastructure (基础设施), which is huge.”Researchers have discovered that the greater the pH difference between the tree and the soil the more the energy will be produced. Some researchers also admit that “tree power”isn’t as practical as solar energy, but believe that the system could be scaled-up as a low-cost option for powering tree sensors that help detect environmental conditions or forest fires, Using the electronic output to keep track of a tree’s health is an other possibility.8. Why does the author mention the potato battery experiment in the first paragraph?A. To explain what it is.B. To stress the importance of electricity.C. To introduce the power source from trees.D. To encourage people to try this experiment.9. What do we know about the fire alarm mentioned in the third paragraph?A. The fire alarm can make a very loud sound.B. Smoke from a fire can cause the alarm to go off.C. The electric power it needs comes from the tree.D. It has been widely used in the forest department.10. What’s Victoria Henderson’s attitude towards the fire alarm system?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Disapproving.D. Unconcerned,11. What causes trees to create electrical currents?A. The sensor implanted in the tree.B. The new way adopted by the researchers.C. The special metal used in the battery experiment.D. The pH difference between the soil and the trees.DIn the last few years, you may have noticed the terra “microplastics” in the ne ws. Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic from discarded (丢弃的) plastic bottles, bags and containers that end up in rivers, lakes and oceans. Because they are so tiny and hard to see, researchers set sail to collect water samples and estimate the amount of plastic in the ocean. The 5 Gyres Institute, an organization aimed at reducing plastics pollution in our oceans, estimates that 296,000 tons of plastic are floating in the world’s oceans. But, if you think that oceans are the only water bodies with a micropiastics problem, think again - the problem is also reported in the Chesapeake Bay, in our own backyard.In a partnership with the 5 Gyres Institute, Trash Free Maryland took to the Chesapeake Bay in November to study the presence of micropiastics in the water. Setting out from Deale, Md., the research team collected seven samples by dragging a trawl (拖网) for an hour at a time. The trawl was fitted with a cone-shaped (锥形的) net, whose holes measure 330 microns (微米) wide, about the width of two to three strands of human hair. Water flowsthrough the main opening and the fine mesh (网眼) of net ensures anything suspended m the water is trapped behind.In seven samples, the net picked up algae (海藻) trash, foam and plastic. According to the 5 Gyres Institute representative, the first sample collected contained almost 10 times the amount of plastic than would be collected in a typical ocean sample. The plastic found in the Chesapeake Bay samples included bits of bags, sheeting, fishing line and microbeads, which are small plastic scrubbers mm found in face wash, toothpaste and cleaning products. Microbeads in particular are a major source of microplastics pollution worldwide. They are small enough to bypass water treatment systems’ filters (过滤器) and end up in waterways. Scientists warn that chemicals and toxins (毒素) absorbed by microbeads and other micropiastics could be passed on to organisms who mistake them for food and eat them, and could then be passed up higher and higher on the food chain, eventually reaching humans.12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The description of the trawl.B. The basic data of the water samples.C. The process of collecting water samples.D. The introduction of Trash Free Maryland.13. What does the underline d word “They” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Bits of bags.B. Chemicals.C. Microbeads.D. Micropiastics.14. How docs the author prove plastics pollution can be harmful to people s health?A. By analyzing the data.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving some examples.D. By referring to scientists views.15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To explain some new scientific terms to people.B. To let people learn more about plastics pollution.C. To urge governments to make environmental laws.D. To tell people some new findings in scientific research.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。

new flying car has completed its first flight，bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year．The vehicle ﹣named the Transition﹣has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car．The Transition，which flew at 1，400 feet for eight minutes last month，can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air．It flies using a 23﹣gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air．On the ground，it gets 35 miles per gallon．Around 100 people have already put down a﹩10，000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale，and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show．But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways．It's expected to cost﹩279，000．And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic．The car needs a runway．Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s，according to Robert Mann，an airline industry expert．But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality．The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly．The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards．Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft，which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes．Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition，a requirement pilots would find relativelyeasy to meet．28．What is the first paragraph mainly about？A．The basic data of the Transition．B．The advantages of flying cars．C．The potential market for flying cars．C．The designers of the Transition．29．Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways？A．It causes traffic jams．B．It is difficult to operate．C．It is very expensive．D．It burns too much fuel．30．What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car？A．Cautious．B．Favorable．C．Ambiguous．D．Disapproving．31．What is the best title for the text？A．Flying Car at Auto Show B．The Transition's First Flight C．Pilots'Dream Coming True D．Flying Car Closer to Reality．32．（8分）When a leafy plant is under attack，it doesn't sit quietly．Back in 1983，two scientists，Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin，reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get．These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm．What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds，VOCs for short．Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked．It's a plant's way of crying out．But is anyone listening？Apparently．Because we can watch the neighbors react．Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away．But others do double duty．They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers．Once they arrive，the tables are turned．The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch．In study after study，it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors．The damage is usually more serious on the first plant，but the neighbors，relatively speaking，stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do．Does this mean that plants talk to each other？Scientists don't know．Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches，and so，in effect，was talking to itself．Perhaps the neighbors just happened to"overhear"the cry．So information was exchanged，but it wasn't a true，intentional back and forth．Charles Darwin，over 150 years ago，imagined a world far busier，noisier and more intimate（亲密的）than the world we can see and hear．Our senses are weak．There's a whole lot going on．32．What does a plant do when it is under attack？A．It makes noises．B．It gets help from other plants．C．It stands quietly．D．It sends out certain chemicals．33．What does the author mean by"the tables are turned"in paragraph 3？A．The attackers get attacked．B．The insects gather under the table．C．The plants get ready to fight back．D．The perfumes attract natural enemies．34．Scientists find from their studies that plants can ．A．predict natural disasters B．protect themselves against insects C．talk to one another intentionally D．help their neighbors when necessary35．What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．The world is changing faster thanever．B．People have stronger senses than before．C．The world is more complex than it seems．D．People in Darwin's time were more imaginative．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．36．（10分）Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done．（36），there are several ways to handle things．Let's take a look at them now．（37）．Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time．When people try to interrupt you，have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then．（38）．It can help to eliminate（消除）future interruptions．When you need to talk to someone，don't do it in your own office．（39），it's much easeier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are．If you have a door to your office，make good use of it．（40）．If someone knocks and it's not an important matter，excuse yourself and let the person know you're busy so they can get the hint（暗示）that when the door is closed，you're not to be disturbed．A．If you're busy，don't feel bad about saying no B．When you want to avoid interruptions at work C．Set boundaries for yourself as far as your time goes D．If
