S. theaters and HBO Max on Dec.25,nine days after it starts appearing at cinemas in international markets, Warner Bros.,said in a statement Wednesday. HBO Max subscribers will have a month to see the movie at no additional cost.The film's director, Patty Jenkins, confirmed the move earlier in a tweet, saying that fans should see the movie in theaters if it's safe to do so-otherwise, they can enjoy it at home. Releasing a would-be hit like Wonder Woman 1984 to home and theater audiences meanwhile would have been unthinkable earlier this year, and for decades before that. However, the pandemic has made it impossible for studios to generate the kind of returns at the box office they need to recover their investments in big films. Cinemas in two of the biggest moviegoing markets in the US-Los Angeles and New York City-are closed entirely.Against this background, several major movies from other studios were shown online this year, including Walt Disney Co.'s Mulan. The studios have been typically charging about $20 to see those films at home. Wonder Woman 1984 won't have an extra fee, but it will require fans to sign up for HBO Max, which costs $15 a month.Under any other set of circumstances, a move like this would be decried by theater owners, whohave long enjoyed the right to exclusively show new hit films for two or three months. However, they've been struck by the effects of the coronavirus. Most cinemas have been closed for portions of 2020 and those that have reopened don't have many new movies to show. Most big films have been delayed until 2021.4.What makes the movie Wonder Woman 1984 different from other movies released thisyear?______A. The approach of releasing.B. The time it will be on show.C. High expectation from audience.D. The theaters where it will be released.5.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?______A. The tough challenges studios have to face.B. Ways for film industry to recover from the pandemic.C. The influence the pandemic has had on film industry.D. The possible success of the movie Wonder Woman 1984.6.What does the underlined word " decried" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?______A. Appreciated.B. Accused.C. Valued.D. Commented.7.Where does this text probably come from______A. A news report.B. A film review.C. A movie advertisement.D. A hit fiction.CDuring the "golden week" national holiday that began on October 1st,hundreds of thousands of sightseers flocked to Lijiang,a picturesque historic town in the south-western province of Yunnan. Among its attractions are the symbols printed beneath the Chinese characters on road signs and shop fronts(Starbucks included). They are Dongba pictographs,an ancient form of script(文字)that originated among the Naxi,a local ethnic group. It almost died until about a decade ago,when local officials began to realize its value and covered the town with it. Dongba was never widely used by the Naxi,of whom there are about 300,000 living in the Himalayan foothills near Lijiang, as well as in Tibet and Sichuan province. The pictographs,which evolved as early as the seventh century,were developed by shamans (巫师)of the Dongba faith, which has roots in Tibet.Over 20,000 of these religious records survive. They provide rich insight into how Naxi peoplethought about war,geography,astronomy and agriculture. But they are extremely hard to read. Linguists are helped by the area's Dongba priests(神职人员). There are about 600,most of them very old,including Yang Guoxing, who ran a school from 2010 to 2015 to teach Dongba to children living in the mountains. When Mr Yang was growing up, "everyone was too busy farming" to learn it. Now they are all busy soaking up the pop culture, he says.Signs at bus stations in rural Yunnan encourage locals to use written and spoken Chinese. But the Naxi get off lightly compared with other ethnic minorities. Primary schools in Lijiang teach the Dongba script twice a week, as well as Naxi nursery rhymes. Li Dejing, head of the Dongba Culture Research Institute,says this is not just about keeping alive the pictographs, but letting children grasp "the very spirit of their own culture". And this will also help tourism to develop in Lijiang.8.What do we know about the Dongba script?______A. It is widely used by local people.B. It was a tool used by certain people.C. It was quite popular at certain periods.D. It has a history of more than 3000 years.9.According to Yang Guoxing, what makes it difficult to spread the Dongba script______A. Only priests can read it.B. It's extremely hard to read.C. Its value hasn't been fully recognized.D. People are too busy to learn a new language.10.What has been done to keep the Dongba script alive?______A. New schools are opened to teach it.B. Some tourists are invited to preserve it.C. Only the Dongba script can be used in schools.D. People are more exposed to this language than before.11.What is the best title of the text______A. The Dongba Script Is DyingB. The History of the Dongba ScriptC. The Dongba Script Survives in LijiangD. The Influence of the Dongba ScriptDBig, old trees are dying faster than in the past, leaving younger, less biodiverse forests that store less carbon worldwide. They give us paper and fuel, as well as vital ecological services-like cleaning the air, storing carbon and providing habitat. We're talking about trees, of course. But human changes to the environment appear to be causing profound changes to trees around the world.In a new study, scientists reviewed global research on trends in tree seedlings growth and death. They combined those data with an analysis of deforestation. And they found that worldwide, older trees are dying at a higher rate than in the past due to factors like rising air temperature, wildfires, drought and pathogens(病原菌)."And most of the drivers of that decrease in large, old trees are increasing themselves, such as temperature is going up, droughts are more severe, wildfires, windstorms and deforestation are all on the increase-although variable across the globe-they're generally increasing. And so for both the loss has already occurred, but we expect more continued loss of big, old trees." said Nate McDowell, an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Lab, who was one of the study's authors."So if we have an increasing rate of death, particularly of the larger, older trees, what's left are the younger trees. So that's why, on average, through the loss of bigger, older trees, our forests are becoming inherently(天生地)younger and shorter."This trend is a problem, because old trees are vitally important."For sure,the increase in death does limit the carbon storage of an ecosystem and can force the system to become a carbon source to the atmosphere. The second reason we care is from a biodiversity perspective:old trees tend to house a higher biodiversity than young forests do. And the third reason is aesthetic:as a society, we care about these trees. We have national parks named after these big trees. So there's a personal reason for people to care about this as well."12.What has the new study found about the forests?______A. Forests are getting younger and shorter.B. Many factors cause the death of big old trees.C. Old trees are beneficial to humans in many ways.D. The death of big old trees influences biodiversity.13.What do the underlined words " the drivers" in Paragraph 3 refer to______A. The death rates of big old trees.B. The trends in the death of big old trees.C. The human changes to the environment.D. The factors causing high death rate of old trees.14.How is the significance of big old trees illustrated?______A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing reasons.C. By listing facts.D. By providing figures.15.What's the purpose of the text______A. To call on people to protect old trees.B. To illustrate a phenomenon about old trees.C. To share the findings of a new study about trees.D. To analyze the reasons why some trees are dying faster.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Do you invest too much value into words added by strangers?No matter what you do or say,or how you act,people will always give their opinions about you.(1)______ Otherwise,you'll allow others' opinions to not only hurt you,but often define you. Here are ways to stop caring about what other people think of you.Keep in mind not everyone cares. Everyone is troubled by anxiety, and they might be too busy to immediately recognize yours.

These are the people who deserve to walk with you.(5)______ You may worry about ending up looking like a fool because of a mistake, but mistakes are unavoidable.

At the hospital, I just kept telling myself to hold on. Weeks later I made a deal with the hospital staff that once I could roll onto my side, I could be discharged. I am proud to say that just one short week later, I was going home. The day I left the hospital, I made a promise to myself to never give up and to always live life to the fullest.In February of 2013, my life was forever changed when I attended the Executive Assistant Organization's Behind Every Leader event. During the conference, a sweet lady by the name of Alisson Frew dared to ask me why I did not wear a prosthesis(假肢). My short and simple answer was, "I don't have sixty thousand dollars." The next morning I was in tears as I learned that Alisson, Jeff Hoffman, founder of Priceline, and a dozen other people, had bought a prosthesis for me. From the first step, it was apparent to me just how much this would mean to me.For a year I adjusted to the leg and settled into everyday life,until one day I realized I was making a life but not living one.After almost 13 years of thinking that I was confident, I had an unfamiliar feeling sweep over me. For the first time in my life, I was not only confident but I was empowered! I desired to help those around me, to have them experience this unbelievable feeling for themselves.In April of 2014, I started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me on a poster at her favourite clothing store and say, "Wow, she is amazing, and she only has one leg. I could do that too someday, even though I have a disability."4. What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A.She was humorous and outgoing.B.She was determined and optimistic.C.She was intelligent and hardworking.D.She was generous and kind-hearted.5.

What would be the best title for the text?A.An Expensive Gift from StrangersB.How I Survived A Terrible AccidentC.I Lost a Leg but Gained a PurposeD.Stay Strong in the Face of DisabilityCA Japanese company, NextTechnology, has created a robot dog that can tell you how bad your feet smell, by using a powerful sensor fixed in its nose. If your feet don't have a bad smell, Hana-chan will happily wag its tail, if it's exposed to feet that aremildly smelly, it'll start to bark, and if they give off an extremely bad smell, it'll just fall over like the smell caused it to faint (昏倒). Foot odor (脚臭) is a big deal in Japan, where it's customary for people to take off their shoes whenever they enter someone's home. In fact, exposing others to bodily odors can be considered annoyance in Japan. Some of the most brilliant minds in the country's tech industry have been trying to solve this problem. Last year, Thanko started selling armpit (腋窝) fans designed to keep people's armpits nice and dry. Now, we have Hana-chan.The robot dog has a special sensor for a nose, and can tell you if your feet smell just by sniffing them for a few seconds. According to some media reports, Hana-chan can help solve the problem of extremely smelly feet by spraying them with air freshener, but it's unclear whether this feature comes built-in, or if you'll have to pay extra for it.According to researchers at NextTechnology, the idea forHana-chan was inspired by a person who desperately wanted some way to know if his feet smelled. He told us his daughter had said his feet were smelly," NextTechnology's Kimika Tsuji said. "But he didn't want to know how bad the odor was because he would feel hurt. That's why we developed this cute robot."You may be able to make Hana-chan faint with your smelly feet, but it can have the same effect on budget-conscious people. Next-Technology plans to start selling the feet-smelling robot dog next May.8. Under what condition will Hana-chan bark?A. When its nose is fixed with a sensor.B. When it detects mildly smelly feet.C. When it wags its tail.D. When something is wrong with its nose.9. Why is foot odor paid great attention to in Japan?A. Because Japanese have strong bodily odors.B. Because its tech industry is highly developed.C. Because Japanese are especially considerate of others.D. Because Japanese are usually barefooted at others' home.10.What can be inferred about Hana-chan from the text?A. Its idea comes from Kimika Tsuji.B. It's already available in the market.C. It can recognize foot odor quickly.D. It has a built-in air freshener sprayer.11. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A. Hana-chan is no cheap thing.B. People should mind their smelly feet.C. People should be careful about their budget.D. Hana-chan makes people loosen their budget.DTo the untrained eye, handwriting styles may seem random. Some write big; others prefer small; and still others tend toward the unreadable. But a new study shows that your handwriting actually says more about you than you thought.Professor Sarah Rosenblum has been studying cognitive(认知) theory as it relates to handwriting for years. Researchers have already developed a computerized system that measures and analyzes even the smallest details of a person's handwriting, such as the space between the letters and the amount of pressure we apply when writing. Using this system, she discovered changes inhandwriting can indicate when we are lying and even whether someone is in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.Now, Rosenblum, with other researchers, is examining whether changes in handwriting can be used to identify moods (情绪). Researchers broke up study participants into three groups. Each group underwent an activity that put the participants in a different mood—positive, passive, and neutral(中立的), by viewing appropriate movies. After that, the participants were instructed to write a paragraph.After studying the participants' paragraphs, the different moods of each group were evident in characteristics like letter shape and size. For example, the height of the letters written by people in a negative(消极的) mood was significantly lower than that of the positive or neutral groups. Also, participants in a negative mood showed quicker writing and narrower width of letters than those in a positive mood.But why? The researchers explain that it is probably the negative mood that creates a cognitive burden on the brain, leading in turn to changes in handwriting."The findings of the study may help doctors identify their patient's actual mood," Rosenblum said. "In the future, we will try to examine whether we can also measure the level of the mood, i. e. how happy or sad someone is."So watch out: if you're happy, you know it. Your handwriting will, too.12. What can be learned through a person's handwriting?A. The pressure he is facing.B. The lies he is telling.C. The language he is speaking.D. A certain disease he might have.13. How were participants put into different moods during the study?A. By reading moving stories.B. By writing a paragraph.C. By watching certain films.D. By listening to programmes.14. What indicates a person is very happy?A. He writes small letters.B. He writes wide letters.C. He writes casually.D. He writes short letters.15. What is Rosenblum studying?A. How handwriting affects a person's mood.B. How mood is classified by types of handwriting.C. How a person's mood is reflected in handwriting.D. How doctors use handwriting to understand patients' mood.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。

Exploring CampusGetting to know where essential campus resources are-such as the student advising center,psychological services,and the tutoring center-will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier,because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held.This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes,and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place.If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings,a quick test run won't hurt.That way,you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.Starting a RoutineBefore getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week,remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up.Starting classes means being in different places at different times,so it's a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.What helps you most is to schedule your sleep.Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.If you have other daily routines,such as exercising or talking on the phone with family,work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.16.By participating in campus welcome activities,freshmen can ______ .A. learn about campus cultureB. get their course scheduleC. have a physical examinationD. take an entrance test17.Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings?______A. To see how many facilities they can use.B. To avoid being late for future classes.C. To help those getting lost on campus.D. To practice running on their way to class.18.When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine?______A. On the first day of their classes.B. Before the orientation week.C. After their first-day classes.D. During the orientation week.19.What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class?______A. Take physical exercise before class.B. Leave their phones powered off.C. Take early classes every day.D. Keep to the sleep schedule.20.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage______A. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.B. To remind freshmen about the first day of school.C. To help freshmen organize campus activities.D. To share his college experience with the reader.BWhen people ask me how I started writing,I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language.Having said that,I did not know for a long time what I was looking for.It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing.With some encouragement from my colleagues,I had one of my poems published.This bit of success,however,was the point where my problem began.Back in 1978,I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning,teaching freshman composition.Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons.I composed my lectures on the way,and that was all the thinking time I had.When I returned home,there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out,I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M.The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach.The second day I set two clocks,one on my night table,and one out in the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morning writing began.Since that first morning in 1978,I have been following the habit to this day,not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published.When I decided to write a novel,I divided my two hours:the first for poetry,the second for fiction.Well or badly,I wrote at least two pages a day.This is how my novel,The Line of the Sun.was finished.If I had waited to have the time,I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many people,the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision:taking the time to create,stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way.21.What motivated the author to start her writing career?______A. Her strong wish to share.B. Her keen interest in writing.C. Her urgent need to make a living.D. Her passionate desire for fame.22.What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing______A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D. She was unsure about her writing skills.23.Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway?______A. In case the clock in her room broke down.B. In case she failed to hear the ringing.C. To force herself out of bed.D. To wake up her family.24.How did the author manage to finish her novel______A. By sticking to writing every morning.B. By writing when her mind was most active.C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D. By reducing her teaching hours at school.25.What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career?______A. It is never too late to change your job.B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.CIn the fictional worlds of film and TV,artificial intelligence(AI)has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans.But what if we're actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feelingTech company UneeQ is heading for its "digital humans",which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language,but also because of facial movements:raised eyebrows,a smile,even a nod.They look close to a human,but not quite.What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans?Their 3 D faces are modeled on actual human features.Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying,and natural language processing is used to work out a response.Meanwhile,another AI company,Soul Machines,is taking a more biological approach,with a "digital brain",that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions "felt" and "expressed" by its "digital people". Shiwali Mohan,an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center,is skeptical of these digital beings. "They're humanlike in their looks and the way they sound,but that in itself is not being human," she says. "Human qualities also involve how you think,how you approach problems,and how you break them down;and that takes a lot of algorithmic (算法)design.Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans." She then continues,"If something looks like a human,we have high expectations of them,but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地)know how other humans react."Yet the demand is there,with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial,health care,and commercial sectors (行业). "Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally,they might be left behind," says Chetan Dube,UneeQ's CEO.Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further,enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. "The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI," Dube says.Mohan is cautious about this approach,yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed. "As we develop more advanced AI technology,we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology," she says. "Hopefully,all of that is designed to support humans in their goals."26.According to Para.2,in what respect(s)do UneeQ's "digital humans" resemble humanbeings______A. In the way they move around.B. In the way they act and react.C. In observation and analysis.D. In speech and facial expressions.27.Soul Machines' digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it ______ .A. learns to make proper emotional responsesB. tends to imitate human beings' tone vividlyC. recognizes the speech sounds it receivesD. processes the natural language it hears28.In Mohan's opinion,what human quality is lacking in digital beings______A. Calculating brain.B. Language skills.C. Instinctive judgements.D. Problem-solving ability.29.What makes many sectors employ digital humans?______A. The fear of falling behind in efficiency.B. The urgency to promote e-commerce.C. The wish to spread digital technology.D. The need to upgrade the health care system.30.What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings?______A. It's well planned.B. It is promising.C. It is uncertain.D. It's quite hopeless.DArt is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.Why,then,is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school,insignificant to wider society,a waste of time and effortArt can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can;art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert,they are paying for music,sure,maybe even hotel rooms,meals,and transport,but they also gain an incredible experience,a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives.People don't just want material things anymore,they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover(交迭)between culture and commerce. Furthermore,the arts can bring communities together,reducing loneliness and making people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not;more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art,when used in hospitals,help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress,anxiety and blood pressure.Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education:those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development;encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.Vital to human life,art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still,for art is a part of what makes us human.31.Art products differ from most other commercial products because ______ .A. most people purchase them for collectionB. they are more expensive and less accessibleC. they have both commercial and cultural valuesD. their prices may climb up as time passes32.By sharing their arts experiences,community members can ______ .A. keep the community safe from illnessesB. develop a stronger tie between themC. learn to appreciate their own works of artD. offer honourable solutions to their problems33.What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities?______A. They enjoy better living conditions.B. They like to compare themselves with others.C. They are particularly good at both music and art.D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.34.How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them?______A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.35.What is the best title for this passage?______A. How Art Cures Our HeartsB. Art:A Blessing to HumankindC. How Art Benefits CommunitiesD. Art:A Bridge Between Cultures三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)My brother and I are exactly one year apart.We look like twins,but we are completely (36) .By the time we got to middle school it was clear that my older brother(37) meditation (冥想),while I was a born(38)who preferred the theatrical,even when off stage.I took his relative silence to be offensive.We simply didn't(39).I didn't(40)having a tense relationship with my brother because I was involved at school.(41),I threw myself into the world of musicals.I practised singing in the bedroom every day to remain at my best and be(42)for roles;my brother would meditate on a window seat.He might feel high school was already hard enough(43)my noisy singing.So space to practise became a (n)(44)between us because we shared a room.At the start of the semester,I practised "Circle of Life" for a musical.This was the first timeI(45)to learn a song,because my voice cracked(破音)as I switched to a head voice.I was annoyed in that period and(46)practising,declaring I had reached the ceiling of my singing career.For the first time in years my brother(47)quiet when I got home.After two days of this,my brother asked me to(48)him in meditation.Feeling my anger at my inability to manage this song(49),I accepted.My brother said, "When your mind floats away,you simply come back.Don't blame yourself" I got the message,and it soon became my new(50).I kept trying at the song,no longer getting(51)at myself.And just in time for the trial performance,I was able to(52)power in my singing despite the switch to a head voice.It was important for me to learn that you don't have to always get everything(53)the first time and that good things come with continual(54).I now understand why my brother favours the(55). 36.

"I'm retired,but an artist never retires," Anneke said. "The last few years on the internet have been a great joy for me.I've taken so many Udemycourses,and it's such a great feeling to get my brain working again.I find just as much satisfaction in teaching animation(动画制作)too."She reaches countless people with her online courses and exposes them to what they can accomplish on their own using animation software,such as GoAnimate and PowToon.Her motivation for teaching on Udemy is "to get the tools to the people.""You can go such along way to make things that look professional but still have your own voice," sheexplained.Most of Anneke's students start out thinking they're not creative and can't draw.Anneke understands how fear can get in the way of so many things people dream of doing.With her five-day challenge courses,she helps them get over the fear.Anneke loves the impact she has on her students.What makes her more proud of them is that they have gone from their first animation to creating their own works.She encourages people of all ages,especially older people,to their curiosity forlife.Grandparents,for example,can learn to use GoAnimate and make animations together with their grandkids."I'm an older woman,teaching and having fun learning again," Anneke said,and she wants others later in their lives to catch up with her on this journey.(1) What does Anneke enjoy doing after her retirement?(no more than 10 words)______(2) According to Para.2,what does Anneke expect her students to do with animationsoftware?(no more than 10 words)______(3) What is the main idea of Para.3(no more than 15 words)______(4) Please explain the meaning of the underlined word in Para.4.(1 word)______(5) What do you suggest old people learn to do Please give your reason(s).(no more than 20 words)______五、书面表达(本大题共1小题,共25.0分)57.假如你是晨光中学的李津。

In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today's sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer can't let him get away. He pulls out a special device, points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Let's say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming (哼唱)a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets ofwaves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights (聚光灯)are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, a "spotsound" creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.26.What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRADA. It causes temporary hearing loss.B. It slows down a running man.C. It makes it easy to identify a suspect.D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others.27.The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to____.A. silence the people around youB. remove the sound of commercialsC. block the incoming sound wavesD. stop unwanted sound from affecting you28.What feature do spotsounds and spotlights shareA. They travel in circles.B. They clear the atmosphere.C. They can be transformed into energy.D. They can be directed onto a specific area.29.Directed sound can be used for____.A. creative designs of restaurant menusB. ideal sound effects on the theater stageC. different choices of music for businessesD. strict control over any suspicious customer30.What does the passage focus on?A. How professionals invented sound products.B. Inventions in the field of sound technology.C. The growing interest in the study of sound.D. How sound engineers work in their studios.(2020·广东省中山市·单元测试)DAfter years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance, curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, "Why? Why? Why?"Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them."The great man," said Mencius (孟子), "is he who does not lose his child's heart." Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability? Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.31.In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ______.A. propose a definitionB. make a comparisonC. reach a conclusionD. present an argument32.What does the example of Galileo tell us?A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.C. Creativity results from challenging authority.D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.33.What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?A. Observe the unknown around you.B. Develop a questioning mind.C. Lead a life of adventure.D. Follow the fashion.34.What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7?A. Gaining success helps you become an expert.B. The genius tends to get things done creatively.C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection.35.What could be the best title for the passage?A. Curious Minds Never Feel ContentedB. Reflections on Human NatureC. The Keys to AchievementD. Never Too Late to Learn三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)(2021·四川省绵阳市·月考试卷) Detective Ashley Jones works at a police department in England.He has recently made a significant (1)____ —loneliness is a serious social problem that can contribute to depression and even crimes,but it can be (2)____in a clever way.The (3)____?Chat benches.Jones got the idea after he had talked with an elderly lady who had been cheated of her(4)____.The lady would get a call from a stranger every morning who(5)____made her believe that he was her friend,and then she lent him about £31,000.Jones was(6)____when shesaid that she didnˈt actually(7)____being cheated."Otherwise,I would never speak to another person for weeks on end," she said.This led Jones to the conclusion that there are too many extremely(8)____people in his community,who are easy targets of cheating.So he (9)____to do something about it.He (10)____the police department to allow him to(11)____a couple of "chat benches" in two of their local parks.Then he hung a colorful sign on each of the benches that(12)____:"HAPPY TO CHAT".Just a few days after the signs went up,he found people sitting there and engaging in active and (13)____conversations.The idea is catching on(14)____.There are now over 40 chat benches throughout England.More new chat benches have sprung up across the UK and beyond.All who participated have gained a(n)(15)____ outcome from getting involved.Jonesˈ idea has been fully(16)____—the "HAPPY TO CHAT" benches help(17)____the invisible social barrier that keeps people from saying hello.This effort is not just a(n)(18)____at being community minded—itˈs also a (19)____measure.It prevents people who are cut off from society falling victim to cheaters.The Chat Bench is a fantastic new project that (20)____those of all ages to interact and get to know each other in the future36.

"I started thinking about what I could do to stop the wastefulness in my immediate community," the fashion lover said.The blog,,aims to make reusing thrift store (旧货店)finds or last season's pieces easy and fashionable while cutting down on the resources consumed by garment production,Alexis said.Through online research,she discovered that a simple cotton T-shirt takes more than 700 gallons of water to make."It made me realize that the fashion industry consumes huge amounts of natural resources as it relies on producing garments quickly and in large supply - many of the garments are only intended to be worn three or four times," she said.Alexis had a number of tools to help her get started.Her mom,Kimberly,taught her to sew when she was 5.Her grandmother taught her to crochet(钩边)around the same time.Alexis said she also gained technical knowledge and inspiration from her part-time job at a clothing company that creates theater wardrobes for schools and drama productions.Prior to the blog launch,she spent several months illustrating "recycling" projects by creating photo tutorials.Though Ecouturier hasn't been online long,she's been getting positive . "I've had people come up to me in the hall and say,'Hey,I saw your blog.I'm working on one of the projects right now,'" Alexis said.She said she hasn't bought a brand-new piece of clothing since last July,and her thrift store shopping has paid off with finds such as a ﹩5 (31 yuan)dress she wore to homecoming. "Taking an hour from Saturday afternoon to make something for yourself can really have an impact on the environment.A little change every day can really add up," Alexis said.21.What inspired Alexis to launch a do-it-yourself blog?______A. Her talent at making handicrafts.B. Her fascination with the fashion industry.C. Her part-time work experiences.D. Her growing concern for the environment after taking a biology class.22.What is the content of the blog Alexis set up?______A. It sells items made from thrift store finds.B. It teaches people how to choose thrift store goods.C. It encourages people to remake their clothing in a cool way.D.

" This kind of is key to her practice.Jennifer,a social worker whose practice focuses on adolescents,has been a therapist(治疗师)for 20 years.For most of that time,she practiced in a traditional office,but she noticed how easy it was for her running partners to open up about their problems.After doing some research,in 2013,Jennifer founded Positive Strides Therapy,where she conducts sessions while walking outdoors.She conducts all of her sessions outdoors and in all kinds of weather."When somebody asks me if I specialize in walking therapy,I say,'No,that's how I practice,' " Udler said. "I specialize in family systems theory.Walking in the park is just where I practice. " Despite the lack of formal research,Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits,saying that can be helpful. "We'll be talking about 'moving forward' as we are actually moving forward on the path,building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind.

To tell us that Richard lives a healthy life.B. To bring up the topic of the passage.C. To give us a brief introduction of RichardD. To tell Richard is a successful businessman.32.The "alarm" in the first paragraph refers to " ______ ".A. a signal of stressB. a warning of dangerC. a sign of ageD. a spread of disease33.According to Paragraph 3,a successful person is one who is believed to ______ .A. be able to work without stressB. be more talented than other peopleC. be more important than anyone elseD. be busying working without time to rest34.According to the passage during the Sabbath ,what we should do except ______ .A. Praying for our family.B. Taking a good break.C. Only working for two hours.D. Enjoying delicious meal.35.What is the main idea of this passage?______A. We should balance work with rest.B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.C. It is silly for anyone to say "I am busy."D. We should be available to our family and friends.三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)When I was a child,my mother didn't force me to eat everything in my dish.She said I hadto(36)every food three times.Her(37)was the first time to try it,the second time to get over the fact that you had just tried it,and the third to(38)that you don't like it.After that,if I still(39)the taste,she would(40)make me eat it again.Her reasonable approach(41) almost every time-- except with bananas,which I still don't eat now.As I grew older,I brought that simple(42)into my life.I had been(43)the diving board at the pool,but I had(44) to make the first jump off the board.When I breathed in water,my mother jumped in to(45) me.Before she could even reach me,I was up and out of the pool,heading back to that diving board.I jumped off(46).More coughing followed,but I was determined to get over this fear.When I(47) the pool the second time,my mom tried to cover me with a towel.(48),I threw off the towel and(49)trying.The third time there was no(50) and no water in my nose.In fact there were (51) from the others at the pool.At that point,I fell in love with the pool.In my mid-thirties,I(52)a successful job that didn't satisfy me in order to achieve my dream of being a writer.Having been (53) twice,I tried for a third time.I have been happily living the life of a writer ever since.We are all afraid of something(54) .But how can we be sure that something won't be (55) unless we give it a try?36.

"Amsterdam's public space is limited," says the vice mayor for traffic,Pieter Litjens,who finally approved the pilot. "We need to be thoughtful and strategic about who and what uses that space."In the weeks before the lights were shut off,200 cyclists were interviewed in the morning and evening.A majority of them disliked the crossroads and made complaints.When asked whether the traffic lights were necessary,about a third said "absolutely yes," only 5% said absolutely not,and the majority was uncertain.It was clearly a question they had never thought about.When the lights were turned off,about 150 cyclists were interviewed.We found that notonly did fewer people dislike this crossroads,but about 60% said the traffic situation had improved.All interviewees spoke more about human interaction. "People pay more attention," said one man. "It's amazing that it regulates itself," said a young woman. "It's a bit scary,but you never have to stop and nobody is grumpy," said a teenager.But no one could really further explain why or how.Behaviour was noticeably different.Most cyclists slowed down as they approached the crossroads,and communicated to other cyclists and motorists usingeyes,gestures,expressions and voices.In one incident,a mother carrying her child on a front seat slowly entered the crossroads.When she was halfway across,a car approached from the right.Traffic signs indicate priority for the car driver,but instead,the mother made eye contact with the driver,both smiled,and the car driver .(1) Why was the pilot project carried out in Amsterdam?(no more than 10 words)______(2) What did most cyclists who were interviewed think of the pilot project?(no morethan 12 words)______(3) What does the underlined word "yielded" (the last paragraph)probably mean?(nomore than 2 word)______(4) Why does the writer mention the mother and the driver in the last paragraph(nomore than 8 words)______(5) Do you think the traffic lights can be turned off in Tianjin Please give your reason.(no more than 20 words)______五、书面表达(本大题共1小题,共25.0分)57.假如你是李津,你的加拿大的朋友Tim在邮件中谈到他们那里也出现了很多新型冠状病毒肺炎的病例,他有些紧张,并感觉网络信息的传播加剧了人们的恐慌.请你给他写封回信,主要内容如下:(1)对他的恐慌表示理解,谈谈你的境况;(2)简单阐述如何对待网络信息,说明理由;(3)给Tim提一些建议(如:勤洗手,少出门,戴口罩).参考词汇:新型冠状病毒肺炎coronavirus;口罩mask注意:(1)词数不少于100;(2)内容充实、行文连贯;(3)开头已给出,不计入总词数.Dear Tim,I've got your email and know that_______答案和解析1.【答案】A【解析】本题考查冠词的用法.根据句意和结构可知第一空使用不定冠词a修饰failure 意为"一件失败的事情";第二空使用a,修饰surprise,意为"一件惊讶的事情".故选:A.-我从没想到实验会失败.-我也没有.结果完全出乎意料.本题考查冠词的用法,冠词的基本用法是看这个名词是泛指还是特指,有的冠词是用于一些固定搭配,平常要注意积累.2.【答案】C【解析】答案C。

While二、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,共40.0分)APre-school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities,a new research has found.The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities.While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche(心理),the research finds that personality traits(特征)are "contagious"(传染的)among children. "Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed," saidDr.Jennifer Neal,co-author of the study.The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classes for a full school year.One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds,and the other a set offour-year-olds.Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on these personality traits over time.Psychology expert Dr.Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize.The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits.A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person "like a disease".The study found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them.The researchers questioned 6,000 people on the social "climate" in their workplaces,which included offices,hotels and restaurants.They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year.And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way.Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event,sending unkind emails,finding fault with others or failing to give praise.Dr.Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment.She said better training could help to fight against the problem.16.What does the underlined part "flies in the face of" in Paragraph 1 mean?______A. Leads to.B. Goes against.C. Results from.D. Agrees with.17.According to Paragraph 2,who have the greatest impact on children's personality?______A. Their friends.B. Their parents.C. The researchers.D. The psychologists.18.Which of the following is considered rude at the workplace?______A. Ignoring the faults of co-workers.B. Not sending emails to workmates.C. Seeking praise from colleagues and bosses.D. Not inviting a colleague to a company party.19.What is the passage mainly about?______A. One's personality is hard to change.B. One's personality is shaped by genes.C. One's personality traits can spread to others.D. One's personality traits can change overnight.20.This passage is most probably taken from ______ .A. a school textbookB. a study guideC. a science reportD. a technical journalBWe see a woman swimming at night in a dark sea.Suddenly,she is pulled underwater.She surfaces,cries in fear,then disappears forever.This is the opening scene from the 1975 film Jaws,showing a shark attack.It tells the story of a great white shark that attacks and kills swimmers.Jaws was a great success,attracting huge audiences and winning many awards.It strengthened people's long-held idea of the great white shark as a dangerous animal.People have always been scared of sharks,but Jaws made things worse.It made people frightened of sharks,especially of the great white shark.Many people who saw the film started to believe that sharks were bad animals that ate humans.Some people stopped swimming in the sea,afraid of the horrible creature from the film.Other people started fishing for sharks,killing as many as they could.At that time,nobody cared if sharks were killed,or how many were killed.People just wanted them killed.After 1975,the number of large sharks around America fell quickly,and soon fell around the world.This was not only due to fear of sharks,but also finning.Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off.The sharks are thrown back into the sea where they die slowly and painfully.The fins are used in shark fin soup.Finning kills millions of sharks a year.Finning would have an unexpected effect upon Peter Benchley,the man who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on.In 1980,Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight.It was an area where fishermen were finning,and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks.Benchley saw sharks being killed and this caused a deep change in him.He came to see people as a danger to sharks,rather than the other way round.From that day on,he fought to protect sharks.He admitted that his book was wrong about sharks' behavior. "Sharks don't target humans," he said.Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food,and they attack us by mistake.Only around six people are killed by sharks every year.Fortunately,not everyone who watched the film Jaws became afraid of sharks - some became interested in understanding them.Today,as we learn more about sharks.more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.21.Which of the following is true of the 1975 film Jaws?______A. A woman swam gracefully along with a shark in the opening scene.B. The film challenged people's long-held belief of the great white shark.C. Many awards were given to the film due to the frightening killing scenes.D. The shark was described as a cruel and dangerous animal to swimmers.22.What did people begin to do after they saw the film?______A. Some became more fascinated in swimming in the sea.B. Some were eager to fish sharks for their delicious meat.C. Some killed as many sharks as possible for no reason.D. Some called on others to protect the endangered sharks.23.What happens to a shark when it is finned?______A. It will be served onto the table as soups.B. It will suffer a lot and die slowly in the sea.C. Its fins will grow again after some time.D. Its fins will be thrown away into the ocean.24.What caused a deep change to Peter Benchley?______A. Seeing the finning scene and many dead sharks.B. Joining the fishermen who were killing and finning.C. Writing the book the film Jaws was based on.D. Knowing that sharks do not target and eat humans.25.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?______A. To inform people about sharks and recommend the film and the book to them.B. To describe the cruel finning scene and prove that sharks are dangerous animals.C. To explain people's misunderstanding of sharks and raise awareness of sharkprotection.D. To criticize Peter Benchley's misleading description of sharks in his book and advocatethe protection of shark.三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)In 1989,an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America,killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.In the middle of complete damage and disorder,a father rushed to the school where his son was(26) to be,only to discover that the building was completely(27) .After the unforgettable shock,he(28)the promise he had made to his son:"Nomatter(29)happens,I'll always be there for you!"

Hiking the Appalachian Trail (美国阿巴拉契亚国家步道)willbe much longer. This hike will take you four or eight months.Make sure you prepare a tent, enough food and water and comfortable shoes when you begin hiking the trail at Springer Mountain, Georgia. From there, it's 2,714 miles before you reach the end in Maine. But don't worry. Along your trip, you will see the countryside of 14 different states. It's very beautiful.Make sure you bring a camera. You can take pictures of the hills, waterfalls, tall trees and lovely animals. Every seven or eight miles along the trail, there are places for you to relax or spend the night. You will also see people enjoying the trail. You will make new friends with other hikers, mountain bikers and people on horsebacks. So, get ready and be safe because you have a long way to go.31.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?______A. The Appalachian Trail is full of surprise.B. Hiking is a great activity.C. Hiking the Appalachian Trail is easy.D. The Appalachian Trail is the best hike in the United States.32.How long does it take you to hike the Appalachian Trail?______A. One afternoon.B.

Others drink bottled water because it's easy--you can carry it around with you.In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in summer.However, making lots of plastics is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we needa lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source (来源)of energy. If wereduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn't need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldn't need so much space for rubbish dumps (垃圾桶) . But in Greece, we don't recycle much of the plastic we use. Last year, Greeks (希腊人)recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas. So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help theenvironment.But what can you do when there isn't a recycling bin around you?Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.36.Some people like drinking bottled water, because they think it is ______ .A. easy and environmentalB. beautiful and cheapC. healthy and cleanD. light and delicious37.Plastic products are made from ______ .A. treesB. cornC. oilD. stones (3)______ of plastic waste became rubbish in Greece last year.

Robert Edwards for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a plough and a wall.When Mrs Edwards came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread,and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.41.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that.A.he had to live in a dark and silent worldB.a terrible traffic accident happened to himC.he was struck by the lightning once moreD.nobody in the world cared about him42.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A.Taking a walk with a stick.B.Driving a car.C.Sheltering from the rain under a tree.D.Lying on the ground.43.What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock? A.A plough and a wall.B.His neighbors.C.His wife who called for help to save him.D.Many doctors surrounding him.44.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years.B.Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.C.Robert could hear his wife’s shouting for help when he woke up.D.The family's love helped Robert regain confidence to live.45.We can infer from the text that .A.many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredB.a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recoveryC.Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD.there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recovery.46.(10分)The temperature is sharply rising with each passing day.People,including many experts,find it difficult to slow down the process.However,leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future,according to a new study.That is to say,a third of oil reserves on the earth,half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050.If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future,we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking.However,it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes."Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible (矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2﹣degree goal,"Dr.Christophe Mc Glade at University College London’s Energy Institute said in a statement."If they go ahead with developing their own resources,”he added,"they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit."It’s not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive.Energy﹣related industry is a big business all over the world.There are many coal reserves in China,Russia and the United States,along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East.Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in theArctic.Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels,but according to the new model used in this latest study,developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future.”We've now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2﹣degree temperature limit,”added Mc Glade.World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart,because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon,climate change will cause irreversible (不可逆转的) impacts on environments worldwide,leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in.46.According to Paragraph 1,our goal is to .A.discover more fossil fuels for the future generationB.slow down the climate changeC.refuse to use reserves on the earthD.keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius47.The underlined wor d”emissions"in Paragraph 1refers to.A.things that are sent out into the airB.products that are made from fossil fuelsC.factors that cause the climate changeD.changes that happen after temperature rise48.According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2,all countries should .A.make full use of their fossil fuelsB.work together towards the 2﹣degree goalC.find better ways to dig out the coalD.increase the global carbon budget49.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in .A.digging out the oil in the Middle EastB.getting people to rethink their fuel plansC.developing fossil fuels around the worldD.developing energy﹣related industry worldwide50.What is the author's attitude towards the future of temperature control?A.Confident.B.Negative.C.Satisfied.D.Unclear.51.(10分)It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media.Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature,the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight.On Dec 29th,she still didn’t seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.In Munro's eyes,ordinary lives always hide larger dramas.So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people.She often focuses on life in her hometown,a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with.She writes about the ordinary things in the village﹣trees in the Ontario wilderness,poor country schools and long last illnesses.Aboveall,she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.These are ordinary people,ordinary stories,but she has the magic.Her precise language,depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.Runaway,one of Munro's representative works,is a good example of her writing style.One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla,who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark.The story slowly forms a picture of Carla,trapped in a bad marriage,her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee.The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love.It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life.There is pain beneath the surface,like a needle in the heart.Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968,Munro has won many awards,with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor.On Oct 10th,2013,the Nobel P rize committee named Munro the”master of the contemporary short story".51.We learn from Paragraph 1that Alice Munro .A.didn’t get on well with the mediaB.was surprised at winning the Nobel PrizeC.didn't value the title of Women of the YearD.remained modest though very successful52.Many of Alice Munro's works .A.center on the happy life of country womenB.are about betrayals of love and violenceC.focus on everyday life of ordinary peopleD.are romantic stories setting in her hometown53.What makes Alice Munro's stories fascinating according to the text?A.The complicated plots.B.Her rich imagination.C.The humorous language.D.Her writing techniques.54.In her representative work Runaway,Carla .A.tries to run away from her husbandB.is a faithful wife to her husbandC.leads a happy life with ClarkD.loses all hopes for a better life55.What is the text mainly about?A.Alice Munro and her hometown.B.Alice Munro and her writing style.C.Alice Munro’s representative works.D.The awards Alice Munro won.第三部分:写作第一节:阅读表达阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题.56.(10分)Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridges to stand up.Indeed science is so goodat what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The book focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of character?And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines.Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation (背诵)of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的),and perhaps unfortunate way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brooks’story is accept able if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong ormemorable characters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brooks’attempt to translate his tale into science.56.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?(No more than 10 words)57.Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories?(No more than 15 words)58.According to The Social Animal,how can we learn about the science of child development?(No more than 10 words)59.Please explain the underlined word”weighty"in English.(No more than 1 word)60.Do you like Brooks’way of dealing with science in The Social Animal?Why?(No more than 20 words).书面表达61.(25分)目前,中国已经进入汽车社会,越来越多的汽车正走进寻常百姓家.但是有些驾驶员的素质令人担忧,他们的所作所为严重危害了自己和他人的安全.这种现象与社会的发展极不协调.请你以李华的身份,结合下列几点写一封倡议书,倡议所有驾驶员做"中国好司机”.主要内容包括:1.简单描述以上现象;2.你的建议:1)严格遵守交通规则; 2)不隔窗抛物;

sth发现某人正在做某事;seat是及物动词,作宾补时,与her构成动宾关系,要用过去分词;fix作attention 的宾语补足语,即with+名词+非谓语动词;fix与attention构成动宾关系,要用过去分词.故选D.【点评】过去分词是非谓语动词的一种,用法很灵活,分为简单式done(表示与谓语同时或几乎同时发生的动作);完成式having been

long,因为疑问词后有插入语,当插入语用了疑问语序,它后面的成分就用陈述语序,故选C.【点评】本句考查时间状语从句及用法,分析清楚句子结构完成此题难度不大,尤其是要注意常见插入语的用法.11.﹣Monitor?﹣I’m not monitor of our class.I ________with the teacher until the monitor is elected.()A.will

not worked(had done)可知,是对过去情况的假设,所以主句中的谓语动词应用would/could/might/should have done来表示对过去情况的假设.故选D.【点评】当虚拟条件句的谓语动词含有were,should,had时,if可以省略把if省略,从句用倒装语序,即把were,should,had提前.解此题时需先认清此句是if省略的倒装情况,再根据从句的谓语动词形式确定是对什么时间的假设,进而确定主句的谓语动词形式.第二节完形填空(满分30分)16.(30分)(2017•南开区模拟)My heart beat

When we think of paper,we think of newspapers,books and writing-paper.But there are many other uses.Only half of the paper is used for books and magazines.Paper is very good for keeping you warm.Houses are often insulated (隔绝冷或热)with paper.You may see some people sleep on a large number of newspapers.They're insulating themselves from the cold.In Finland sometimes the temperature is very low.The farmers wear paper boots (长筒靴)in the snow.Nothing could be warmer.Each year more and more things are made of paper.We have had paper cups and plates for a long time.Now we hear that chairs,tables and even beds can be made of paper.With paper boots and shoes,you can wear paper hats,paper dresses and paper raincoats.When you have used them once,you throw them away and buy new ones.People have made paper boats,but they haven't made paper planes or cars.Just wait—perhaps they will make planes or cars someday in the future.37.

To introduce three biomimicry architects.B. To show how nature fits into architecture.C. To tell us how to use less energy and do less damage to the environment.D. To show some buildings of the future.17.What could be inferred from Paragraph 2?______A. ArtScience Museum looks like a flower.B. The waterfall in the center of the space is formed naturally.C. While in the building,visitors always find themselves in urban areas.D. ArtScience Museum was designed to collect rainwater.18.What can we learn about Harare's Eastgate Centre?______A. It was built according to the forms and processes of nature.B. It is shaped like a termite nest.C. Its design relics on traditional air conditioning and beating systems.D. Without those holes,the building wouldn't work.19.Which of the following statement is NOT true about the Algae House?______A. The algae need to feed.B. The algae can be used to produce fuel.C. It's the only algae-powered building in the world.D. Panels containing algae cover the surface of the apartment.20.What could be the best title for the passage?______A. Nature in architectureB. The development of architectureC. Charm of biomimicryD. In harmony with the buildingBZhang Yuxuan can turn many things into melody(旋律)in her musicworld—a box of candies,water,pens and glass bottles.She records thesounds around her and mixes them into songs.Better known as Vicky Xuanxuan on social media,the 15-year-old girl hasattracted nearly 1.7 million followers on China's leading video-sharingand livestreaming platform Bilibili and made national headlines.The sudden popularity has brought her opportunities to cooperate with celebrities,such as pianist Li Yundi.Yuxuan's most hit clip(视频剪辑)—the release of her English song She—has been viewed more than 14 million times and received over 1 million thumbs-up emoji on Bilibili. "In the clip,I tried to let viewers know how the song was created," say Yuxuan,who lives in Shenzhen,South China's Guangdong province.The six-minute video tells how a melody coming to the ponytailed(梳马尾辫的)schoolgirl's mind during a math class is developed into a beautiful song in half an hour.She records playing the guitar on Apple's music-making app GarageBand,and then mixes vocals and backing tracks. Inspired by the Hollywood film The Devil Wears Prada,she writes the lyrics for She:"She got a beautiful eye/Walk in a line/Smile with her type/She knows all about life/Never askwhy/Driving everyone crazy/She has long hair/Tight skirt/She doesn't need a lover or a partner."Talking about her inspiration for She,Yuxuan says:"I really appreciate the protagonist's(主角)confidence and independence in the movie.Women like that are so charming."The song has amazed people.A Bilibili user says it is a song that "you cannot stop playing time and time again".The video has forced many to reflect on their own productivity,as another userposts:" A student in junior middle school can create a song in half an hour,but I,a college student,can only finish my meal in half an hour."21.Why does the author mention Li Yundi in paragraph 2?______A. To tell us how hard Zhang Yuxuan works.B. To demonstrate Zhang Yuxuan's colourful life.C. To emphasize how popular Zhang Yuxuan is.D.

Zhang Yuxuan cannot eat a meal in half an hour.D. Zhang Yuxuan is smarter than college students.25.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?______A. Society.B. Lifestyle.C. Technology.D. Opinion.CChina-chic(中国风)is a term that describes the trend of China-centric design.It demonstrates the rise of Chinese brands.Before we discuss whether or not the term is accurate,and reasons thereof,it is important to first figure out who are the main consumers of these Chinese brands. Generation Z,the young consumers born between the mid-1990s and the early 2010s,have been raised on the Internet and social media.They are gradually moving toward maturity.They have naturally become the main force that drives China's consumer market.Most young people earn their own incomes.Even if they don't,their parents and family members will support them financially.So their purchasing power is stronger than prior generations of youth.Besides,today's young people have had access to various domestic and foreign brands sincethey were born.For them,global brands such as KFC.McDonald's,L'Oreal and Nike are just everyday consumer goods.Unlike the previous generations in China,they do not look up to global brands with admiration.As members of Generation Z are taking the center stage in the consumer market,full of confidence,personalities and awareness of investing in themselves,they almost determine its present and the future.This factor plays a key role in the global economy.That is tosay,whichever brand,domestic or global,that pays attention to Generation Z first and satisfies the group's needs will get a head start.It is the Chinese companies more than others that truly respect the uniqueness of Generation Z's demands.A typical example is Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning.Although the domestic sportswear market is still dominated by global brands like Nike and Adidas,Li-Ning has succeeded in using "China-chic" as a way to show self-confidence of the Chinese young people.By wearing Li-Ning's products,a consumer is telling others:"I'm different from you.I have my own personality traits."Inspired by Li-Ning,other Chinese brands including Anta and Feiyue also launched products to satisfy the demands of the new generation of consumers.26.In writing Paragraph 1,the author aims to ______ .A. introduce the topicB. present an argumentC. reach a conclusionD. propose a definition27.What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4?______A. Generation Z make money all by themselves.B. Generation Z have more buying power than their parents.C. Generation Z treat brands at home and abroad equally.D. Generation Z consume global brands every day.28.According to the passage,if international brands want to be successful in the future,theyshould ______ .A. dominate Chinese sportswear marketB. meet the needs of Generation ZC. learn from Generation ZD. determine their own future29.What does the example of Li-Ning tell us?______A. It's a typical Chinese company.B. It is confident of success.C. Chinese brands are starting to respect the unusual needs of Generation Z's.D. Chinese brands have ruled the domestic sportswear market.30.What does the passage focus on?______A. Why do Chinese brands impress Generation Z?B. The uniqueness of Generation Z.C. The choice of Generation Z.D. Sportswear brands and their future.DSome of Earth's plants have fallen in love with metal.With roots that act practically like magnets(磁铁),these organisms—about 700 are known— flourish in metal-rich soils that make hundreds of thousands of other plant species flee or die.Slicing open one of these trees or running the leaves of its bush cousin through a peanut press produces a blue-green "juice".This "juice" is netually one-quarter nickel(镍),far more concentrated than the one feeding the world's nickel smelters (熔炉).The plants not only collect the soil's minerals into their bodies but seem to store them to "ridiculous" levels,said Alan Baker,a visiting botany professor at the University of Melbourne who has researched the relationship between plants and their soils since the 1970s.This vegetation could be the world's most efficient,solar-powered mineral smelters.What if,as a partial replacement to traditional,energy-intensive and environmentally costly mining and smelting,the world harvested nickel plants?Dr.Baker and an international team of colleagues have set their sights on convincing the world the idea is more than just a fun thought experiment.On a plot of land rented from a rural village on the Malaysian side of the island of Borneo,the group has proved it at small scale.Every six to 12 months,a farmer shaves off one foot of growth from these nickel-hyper-accumulating plants and either burns or squeezes the metal out.After a short purification(提纯),farmers could hold in their hands roughly 500 pounds of nickel citrate(硝酸镍),potentially worth thousands of dollars on international markets.Now,as the team scales up to the world's largest trial at nearly 50 acres,their target audience is industry.In a decade,the researchers hope that a greater consumer demand for base metals andrate minerals could be filled by the same kind of farming that produces the world's coconuts and coffee.31.What does the underlined word "flourish" in paragraph 1 probably mean?______A. hide themselvesB. attract the attention of othersC. die outD. grow well32.What could be inferred from Paragraph 2?______A. Nickel runs along those plants' leaves.B. The blue-green "juice" contains a high concentration of nickel.C. To produce nickel,those trees should be put into smelters.D. Without peanut press,the blue-green "juice" can't be produced.33.What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4?______A. Dr.Baker and his group have already started testing this plant in large quantities.B. This vegetation contains a high content of nickel.C. Farmers will cut down the plants and burn the metal out every six to 12 months.D. Dr.Baker and his group have made a fortune from the vegetation.34.What is the passage mainly about?______A. An introduction of metal-purification technology.B. The use of nickel-hyper-accumulating plants.C. The discovery of nickel-hyper-accumulating plants.D. The farming for metals.35.What is the author's attitude towards the prospect of farming the vegetation?______A. Short-sighted.B. Wait-and-see.C. Optimistic.D. Skeptical.三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)I came to Taiyuan,capital of Shanxi province,in October 2018,when I was admitted to Shanxi University as an international student from Uzbekistan(乌兹别克斯坦).There are a number of reasons why I chose China to(36)my higher education,including China's(37)as an emerging powerhouse (新兴大国)of the world economy,a leader in trade and e-commerce,its globally recognized(38)in education,incentives (激励机制)to international students and its internationally (39)diplomas.I personally have a strong (40)in Chinese culture and history.That's why I chose Shanxi as my(41) to stay.With a(n)(42)history of more than 3,000 years,Shanxi is one of the cradles(摇篮)of ancient Chinese(43).Called "a museum of ancient Chinese culture",the province is home (44)a large number of relics and remains of former times,which give us(45)material evidence to study ancient cultures.So my stay in Shanxi and my(46)in Taiyuan and throughout the province have helped me (47)a stronger fondness of ancient Chinese culture.I am also proud of my(48)because of its history and its open,international vision(视野)in education.This year (49)the 119th anniversary of the founding of Shanxi University.In its early years,the university was (50)the three earliest state-run universities in offering modern Chinese education.Today's Shanxi University has developed into a modern higher-learning institution with a global vision,which is(51)in its great number of international students,and a curriculum system (课程体系)and research capability up to(52)standards.When I came here in 2018,I thought it might be hard to(53)local life and culture,and learning Chinese might be a(n)(54)challenge to my academic development.But I found I was able to(55)all those problems quickly because of the help of my teachers and friends.36.

During this period in their life people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their life. My volunteer experience at St. Clare's Hospital has helped me form this positive experience during my high school years;through valuable lessons I have learned life skills and have begun to shape my values and mind-set. In the course of my volunteering at the hospital I have discovered how to interact with others, learned to respect diversity, realized the importance of service, and gained perspective. When I first began volunteering, I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone. I am learning to introduce myself to new volunteers, go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and overall how to extend a hand of friendship to others. Not only does this skill apply to my personal life, but will also be extremely helpful in my academic life and the "real world."I think one of the most significant values I have gained through my experience at St. Clare's Hospital is the importance of service. Service, involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the community. Each time I end my volunteer shift, I feel better and as if I have done something worthwhile. This feeling has fueled me to continue volunteering,and has now become something I see as irreplaceable. In the past I have been frustrated by my situation, and was discouraged because I felt I might not make a significant difference due to my young age. However, I am relieved of this because I feel that through the hospital volunteer program I can try to do my part and help others.I genuinely think that without my volunteer experience at St. Clare's Hospital,I may have beena different person, lacking these skills and ideals. I have matured and gained valuable skills, as well as learned important lessons about life. Many people my age do not have an experience similar to this, where they are in an environment based only upon healing and helping others, and I think they have truly missed out. I will continue on this path of service throughout my life, and I know that because of my volunteer experience I have benefited, and that these benefits will carry on as I develop and become an adult.20.According to the passage, why is a person's high school years important?______A. Because people do volunteer work during this time.B. Because it is a time to interact with others.C. Because during this period, people begin to shape their lives.D. Because it is a time to discover the meaning of volunteering.21.What is the second paragraph mainly about?______A. I realized the importance of service.B. Each time I end my volunteer job, I feel better.C. Service is something irreplaceable.D. I am relieved of frustration.22.According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?______A. During the author's high school years he formed the positive experience.B. When the author first began volunteering, he was excited to meet new people.C. The author became lacking skills and ideals after volunteering at St. Clare's Hospital.D. Many high school students are in an environment based only upon healing and helpingothers.23.What sort of person was the author before he began volunteering?______A. Hesitating.B. Lonely.C. Generous.D. Unconfident.24.What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?______A. High school years are the most important period.B. He missed the experience during his high school years.C. He has benefited from his volunteer experience at St. Clare's Hospital.D. He was pushed outside of his comfort zone when working at St. Clare's Hospital.CSports fandom is about more than just entertainment. It can boost your self-esteem(自尊)and make you happier - and you don't have to root for the winning team to gain the benefits. Being a sports fan is a "very psychologically healthy activity," says Daniel Wann, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom. Fandom connects us to other like-minded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.These relationships are significant:People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem,lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren't interested in sports, Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health.Beyond bonding, fans get to enjoy the psychological benefits of winning,even if they have nothing to do with the players or games, says Stephen Reysen, associate professor at TexasA&M University-Commerce who studies identity and fandom."Individuals feel that the fan interest (in this case a sport team)is a part of them," Reysen says. "So when the team is winning, you feel like you are winning even though you are not a player." Of course, teams sometimes lose.So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose?People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they're having a losing season, Reysen says."Sports fandom has nothing to do with the outcome of a game," Wann says. For example,if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong, you'd likely switch to a more reliable one. But because being a fan is so central to people's identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to ease the negative psychological effects of losing."For fans of the losing team, sharing the pain may have protected them from losingself-esteem," Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, co-author of the study and professor of communication at The Ohio State University said in a release.25.According to the passage, why do sports fans feel happier?______A. Because they could gain the benefits from the winning team.B. Because they can share pains and happiness with people who have the commoninterests.C. Because they could have a low level of self-esteem.D. Because most of them are optimistic.26.What is the significance of the relationships between sports fans?______A. Sports fans have support from their favorite teams.B. Sports fans have higher levels of loneliness.C. Sports fans are likely more content with their lives.D. Sports fans tend to compare themselves to those who aren't interested in sports.27.According to the passage, if the team has a losing season, the sports fans may ______ .A. display their identitiesB. have a boost of self-esteemC. not support the team any moreD. have a negative psychology period28.According to the passage, what can help sports fans deal with losses of their team?______A. Being part of the team.B. Ordering a pizza in a different restaurant.C. Sharing the pain with family members.D. The loyalty to the team.29.What is the passage mainly about?______A. Sports fans have a closer relationship with other like-mined people.B. Sports fans have higher self-esteem and are more satisfied with their lives.C. Sports fans always put their faith behind their favorite teams.D. Sports fandom has nothing to do with the outcome of a game.DRenewable energy projects, including onshore and offshore wind and solar farms, have so far been subsidized (资助)by government support schemes. This has led to some to complainthat clean energy is pushing up bills.However, the most recently approved offshore wind projects will most likely operate with'negative subsidies' -- paying money back to the government. The money will go towards reducing household energy bills as the offshore wind farms start producing power in themid-2020s.This is the conclusion of an analysis by an international team led by Imperial College London researchers published today in Nature Energy.Lead researcher Dr Malte Jansen, from the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial,said:"Offshore wind power will soon be so cheap to produce that it will undercut fossil-fueled power stations and may be the cheapest form of energy for the UK. Energy subsidies used to push up energy bills,but within a few years cheap renewable energy will see them brought down for the first time. This is an astonishing development."The analysis for five countries in Europe, including the UK,focused on a series of government auctions(拍卖)for offshore wind farms between February 2015 and September 2019. Companies that want to build wind farms bid in the auctions by stating the price at which they will sell the energy they produce to the government.These are known as 'contracts for difference' or CfDs. If a company's bid is higher than the wholesale electricity price on the UK market once the wind farm is up and running, then the company will receive a subsidy from the government to top up the price.However, if the stated price(规定价格)is less than the wholesale price,then the company will pay the government back the difference.

He was borninto a family of farmers who originated from England and Ireland. Not the wealthiest of families, but not poverty-stricken either.In his teenage years, his father had given him a timepiece which he later took to pieces just to see if he could piece it together again successfully, which he did. He then did the same with other people's timepieces and eventually he repaired them too. Henry was also a sufferer of Dyslexia(阅读困难者),and although this was a hurdle it was not a reason to give up.He completed an apprenticeship(学徒期)with James F. Flower & Bros,and also with the Detroit Dry Dock Company. In 1891 he met with Thomas Edison, who liked his concept of an auto-mobile, so he allowed him to use his warehouses to manufacture two vehicles.Ford was grateful but later built his own company so he could build the cars on his own terms backed by William H. Murphy and in 1899 he founded the Detroit Automobile Company.This was short lived, however, as the vehicles produced lacked the quality and precision.And they were horribly expensive. The business went under, but it didn't stop him. Ford went on to build the Cadillac Automobile company.After almost failing a second time because of lack of sales and high debts, more partners came into the business and the name was changed to the Ford Motor Company. The Ford Motor Company generated around 156 billion U.S. dollars in revenue (税收)in 2019. Why did the author mention the timepiece?(no more than 10 words)______What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?(no more than 3 words)______ Who helped Henry Ford before he founded the Detroit Automobile Company?(no more than 6 words)______What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?(no more than 15 words)______What do you think of Henry Ford?Please explain.
