Now, a 19-year-old teenager can help you to solve this problem. He has invented a phone charger which uses energy from your own body to charge your phone.Hand Energy, the wonderful invention of the inventor Michael Vaga, allows you to charge your phone simply by shaking your hand, which starts the charger's gyroscope(陀螺仪) to produce electricity. And the electricity can then either be stored or used to charge a phone immediately.He said, “With each rotation(旋转) of your hand, the gyroscope's speed increases quickly and produces more power. The average speed of the gyroscope is about 5,000 rounds per minute. With this small charger, your physical energy can be turned into electrical energy and this means you can charge your phone.”Hand Energy can help you produce endless electricity. You can use it everywhere you want. It is especially useful for people who have to spend a long time in the wilds. What's more, it's friendly to the environment and helps you to exercise your wrists. It takes between 40 minutes and one hour to fully charge the batteries(电池) in the Hand Energy.The invention took Vaga a year to develop. Now, the inventor from Minsk, Belarus, is ready to put it into production and send out the creative convenient chargers. Its price is 99 euros (84pounds).1.If we want to produce energy with the charger, we should .

His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”“My head hurts,” the road worker said, “I can't do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That's the problem!”Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.“Yes, and I would be,” he replied, “but y esterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I'll be in trouble.”Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea—he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.“You go off to bed,” Hannay said. “I'll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”The road worker was pleased with his idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then hewent home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the road worker's hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.“Are you the road worker?” it asked.It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.Hannay said “yes”. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.Then a village boy came by. “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied. “He's sick.”At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay.

I had reduced my backpack down to only essentials.It was laundry day in the mid-sized Indonesian city I happened to be in, meaning I was down to my last shirt, the least flattering shirt of my seven-day collection: a ratty conference T-shirt of a well-known American company I'd worn a hundred times. It was a shirt I didn't feel particularly flattering in, so I tried to stay indoors and used it as an opportunity to have a quiet, indoor day.I hadn't thought anything of the shirt until a young Indonesian man staying at my guest house saw me and immediately took notice of the logo of my ratty shirt. He was fascinated by it!“Where did you get this shirt? Did you go to this conference? I love this company! I wish I could buy this here in Indonesia.” I was moved by the idea that something I found so useless and unflattering could be valued so much by someone else. Without giving it another thought, I took off the ratty old shirt and gave it to him on the spot, leaving me shamelessly shirtless for the rest of laundry day, but content that I had found a better owner for my shirt.A month later, I was still traveling, with six shirts instead of seven, yet still rich in my items and with a fuller heart.1.The u nderlined word “essentials” in Paragraph 1 means . ( )A.difficultiesB.necessitiesC.differencesD.preferences2.What did the author plan to do on the first laundry day? ( )A.Attended a conference.B.Visited the company.C.Walked around the city.D.Stayed in the house.3.How did the author think of his ratty shirt before he met the young man? ( )eless.B.Fascinating.C.Special.D.Valuable.4.Why did the author feel satisfied? ( )A.Because he helped the young man.B.Because he sold his ratty shirt.C.Because he traveled for a long time.D.Because his shirt would be valued.Passage 2Friendships can be difficult—because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be.Sometimes,people finally get hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need.They care about their own needs much more,which makes it hard for friendships to work.However,being selfish is part of human nature.A person is put together in order to take care of themselves and their own needs,not necessarily those needs of other people.Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with,it is something that everyone should be against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship,because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship.Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend,it iseasy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships.Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends,or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships.It is important to know how to deal with these problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones.No one wants to have a broken friendship.5.According to the writer,problems with friendships may appear when . ( )A.one is honestB.one is selfishC.one is openD.one is kind6.According to the passage,the first and most important thing to be other people's friend is .( )A.to treat your friends as you like to be treatedB.to give your friends whatever you haveC.not to hurt your friends' feelingsD.not to think of your own need any more7.What's the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems? ( )A.To have a comfortable life.B.To build stronger and healthier friendships.C.To be treated the way you want.D.To get a boyfriend or girlfriend more quickly.8.The passage mainly talks about . ( )A.the importance of friendshipsB.the advantages of friendshipsC.the problems of friendshipsD.the disadvantages of friendships【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文介绍的是美国的一位爱心小姑娘与国际慈善组织“爱之锁”的故事。

Sometimes choosing where to eat in Hangzhou is something of a challenge. No matter how good the food 1.(taste) at a chosen restaurant, one may always wonder. “Is there anything 2. on the next street?” However, I've found the answer to this question. When I 3.(ask) to name my favorite place to eat in Hangzhou, I will reply right away, “Lou Wai Lou Restaurant”. Why is Lou Wai Lou so special 4. hundreds of restaurants? Well, for me it comes down to a perfect balance of delicious food, pleasant atmosphere(氛围) and a near perfect location.Before coming to Hangzhou, I was warned by my friends from other 5. (city) in China that the food could be too sweet. For the first few months I chose 6. (eat) in Sichuan or Hunan style restaurants instead of eating much local food. However, 7. falling in love with the city, I came to realize that the food is so 8.(close) connected with its local culture. 9. I asked a local friend to recommend the best place to try real local style food. She came up with the name of Lou Wai Lou.For a first-time visitor, “Dongpo Pork” and “Sweet and Sour Fish”are excellent choices. Hangzhou has become my home and I have 10. lifetime to enjoy each and every dish on the menu.Ⅱ. 阅读理解Passage 1My challenge for you is this: to read a book for 15 minutes every single day for a month.Let me explain a bit, by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isn't one of them. I can happily spend a whole day with a book, but my dad can't read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads e-mails, websites and papers for work, but not books. He's busy so I think sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading.My dad is by no means the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relaxon their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there're lots of benefits to reading, which screen-based activities don't have.Firstly, it's better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night's sleep.One thing I personally love reading, is being transported to another world—I would often forget the time or things around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world, so you can truly relax.I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better.I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people's point of view, and understand other people's decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling—you really can be inside someone else's head!So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you're waking up, going to bed, eating too much, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck, and happy reading!1.The author gives the example of his father in the text to show . ( )A.his father is very busyB.reading is very important to usC.his father likes readingD.many people have no habit of reading2.In the author's opinion, the following are the benefits of reading except .( )A.it's good for eyesB.it can know well about the charactersC.it can help to relax before sleepingD.it can bring him to another country3.The author writes the text mainly basing on .( )A.his personal experienceB.some scientific experimentsC.his father's personal adviceD.knowledge from books4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? ( )A.Tips for Reading English BooksB.15-Minute Reading ChallengeC.Having a Coffee While You ReadD.Ways to Improve Reading SkillsPassage 2Japanese students work very bard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don't want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers' work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents force their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends—they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students' hair to their clothes and things in their schoolbags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.5.“Dropouts” are those who . ( )A.make trouble in and out of schoolsB.go about or stay home instead of being at schoolC.try hard but always fail in the examsD.lose hope and give up some of their subjects6.The underlined word “gifted” in the first paragraph means . ( )A.hard-workingB.talentedC.gentleD.warm-hearted7.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true for Japanese parents? ( )A.They think helping children's study is none of their business.B.They push their children too much on studies.C.They often worried about their children's studies.D.They only help their children to pass the exams.8.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? ( )A.The Trouble in Japanese SchoolsB.The Problems of Japanese Studentscation in JapanD.The Pressures on the Students in JapanⅢ. 任务型阅读下面文章中共有5处(第1—5题)需要添小标题。

Let's have a look at some of them and see if you agree that they deserve to be more successful.The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car, she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol in their breath, the car wouldn't start. It sounds like a great idea to me, but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency even if they had drunk too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He linked the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was generated by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV, they had to ride very hard. I found another invention on the Internet was designed to encourage good habits. Believe it or not, this invention was an ashtray which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! The ‘voice’ of the ashtray was activated by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river, you could inflate(使充气) a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you rode the bike inside the ball! One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sports programs all day with your hands free. While we are on the subject of sport, the Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own, you could press a button and the robot would do ‘high fives’ with you! Fantastic! I wonder if you have any brilliant ideas for inventions like these.1.The purpose of blowing into a bag before driving is to . ( )A.prevent people from drinking and drivingB.help people start the car quicklyC.encourage people to drink more alcoholD.let people drive in an emergency2.The underline d word “generated” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “”.( )A.storedB.producedC.inventedD.transported ball3.There are inventions mentioned in this passage. ( )A.fourB.fiveC.sixD.seven4.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? ( )A.Inventions with a DifferenceB.Different Kinds of New RobotsC.Brilliant Ideas for MachinesD.Stop Drinking and DrivingPassage 2 [2020·原创]Tower BridgeLocation: London, EnglandCompletion Date: 1894Length: 880 feetType: Movable (bascule),suspensionPurpose: RoadwayMaterials: Steel, masonryEngineer(s): Sir Horace Jones, Sir John Wolfe-BarryBy the end of the 19th century, the city of London had outgrown itself. Thousands of cars and people depended on a single bridge—the London Bridge—to travel in and out of the capital city each day. The traffic was heavy. So Londoners expected the completion of a new bridge across the Thames, the Tower Bridge, designed by Sir Horace Jones and engineered by Sir John Wolfe-Barry.The new bridge would have two towers that would rise 200 feet above the Thames. A pair of glass-covered walkways would stretch between the two towers for walkers. Steam engines(蒸汽机) would raise and lower the bascules, or movable roadways, in less than two minutes to allow boats to pass. Londoners were excited.Once the bridge was completed in 1894, however, the public was shocked with the results. Jones' original design was simple and had a medieval(中世纪的) style. But Jones died in 1887, and Barry added his own artistic touch. When the Tower Bridge opened to traffic in 1894, the magazine The Builder called it “the most monstrous and preposterous(荒谬的) architectural sham(建筑骗局)that we have ever known”. But public opinion changed over time, and toda y, the Tower Bridge is one of London's best loved landmarks.5.The bridge is made of . ( )A.steel and masonryB.stoneC.woodD.plastic6.Why did Londoners build the Tower Bridge? ( )A.Because the London Bridge was too old.B.Because the city was too big.C.Because the traffic was heavy.D.Because people wanted a new landmark.7.How does boats pass the bridge? ( )A.The movable roadways can be raised and lowered.B.Steam engines would raise the boats.C.The bridge is high enough for boats to pass.D.Only lower boats can pass the bridge.8.The passage is mainly to . ( )A.introduce the Tower BridgeB.tell us the design of the Tower BridgeC.show Londoners' feelingsD.explain the reason why the Tower Bridge is built【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文,讲述的是一个拾金不昧的故事。

Money makes the world go around, yet the best things in life are free. A penny saved is a penny earned, but you get what you pay for. You probably have your own ideas about spending money. Now it is a great time to learn how to spend money wisely.When you are considering buying something you want, run through this checklist first.1.Seeing a $25(172 yuan) gum ball machine, Peter wanted it at first. But after thinking about it, he decided that it would be exciting only for a day or two.“Besides, it's impossible for me to chew much gum,” he said wisely.2.If the thing passes the “really-wanting-it” test, try to wait for some time(maybe some days or a week) to see how strong the desire is. Perhaps at that time, you don't want it any longer. This strategy works for grown-ups, too!3.After the first two steps, Peter found he really wanted a toy ship, but it cost $50.He had $22 in his pocket and got $1.50 a week to spend. His mother helped him work out how many weeks he would need to save enough money to get the ship.4.Peter had a lot of things to do to help his family. He could water the flowers, do the dishes or walk the dog. Finally, he decided to wash the downstairs windows at a dollar each. He got $10 for himself, and sparkling(闪亮的) sunlight for the rest of the family.5.After deciding to buy it, it is necessary for you to look for cheaper ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet or in shops and flea markets. Sometimes you can find the same thing at a much lower price.If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a really smart shopper.A.Are there any ways to earn money?B.How much do you really want it?C.Do you still want it a week later?D.How will you pay for it?E.Do you have enough money?F.Can you get it cheaper?Ⅱ. 完形填空My daughter, Alisa, is three years old.

He has also experienced life's lows too. This has taught him that having a clear picture of oneself is the key to everything.“I grew overconfident at the top of my career, and I began to lose fai th when things turned against me,” he said. “Then I realized that dreams will only come true if I put myself in the right place.” He has made his several albums, such as Teen Spirit, Ocean and so on after he went solo(独唱) from the rock band Dada. As the name of Teen Spirit suggests, the album is about his experiences and memories in his youth. “The teenage years is a special restless period in life, with lots of doubt, nervousness with wise and foolish ideas together,” said Peng.When younger, he first dreamed of being a painter, until one day the singing of Cui Jian ignited(点燃) his passion for rock music. In 1996, he became the lead singer in the band Dada, which he set up with his classmates from junior school. Soon, they topped the music charts(排行榜) and got lots of prizes. However, the good days didn't last. The band broke up. Peng became upset and began doubting his own ability. He then went to the Beijing Pop Festival and saw his favorite foreign band, Super Grass. This changed everything. “I almost went mad when I heard them singing,” he said. “Light fell on the lead singer's excited face. Suddenly I realized who I wanted to be like.” After that, he was back on track(重回正轨) and found his confidence. He knew he had the talent and couldn't help making a r ecord quickly. Soon after, he was given the chance. “When you adjust your position well in life, opportunities will come to you naturally,” he said.1.Teen Spirit is about Peng's . ( )A.stories in his youthB.dream of the rock musicC.confidence for the jobD.love towards the life2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.Peng became depressed because the band broke up.B.Nobody has a special period during the teenage years except Peng.C.Before the foreign band's show, Peng realized who he wanted to be like.D.Peng made several albums, and then he set up the band Dada with his classmates.3.The purpose of the passage is to . ( )A.encourage more people to enjoy and support the rock musicB.let us know how successful the singer Peng Tan isC.tell us to put ourselves in the right place and adjust well in lifeD.show us the first dream is important, don't adjust the position easily4.What can we infer from Peng's words and experiences? ( )A.He stops singing.B.He becomes unconfident.C.His confidence changes everything.D.He comes back with a new attitude.Passage 2Don't be too surprised if you see a car going down the road without a driver in Beijing these days. It might be one of Baidu's self-driving cars. Last month, Baidu was presented with a license to test its self-driving cars on open roads in Beijing. China Daily reported.Self-driving cars have been in development since 2010, when Google announced that it was making such cars. After that, companies like Tesla, Uber and Baidu started working to produce and test their own self-driving cars.Self-driving cars are expected to change the way we get around. They are safer and more environmentally friendly than regular cars. They can remove the stress of driving and allow disabled or blind people to get around more easily.But self-driving cars have their own shortcomings as well. In one test, researchers pointed a laser pointer(激光棒) at the car's sensors(感应器) while it was moving. The car thought by mistake that the laser beam(波束) was in its way and slowed down or changed direction. Shortcomings like this could be used by people to trick self-driving cars, according to the Guardian.The software that it is used to help the cars travel in the right direction may not be safe enough, reported Live Science. It may go wrong. When we use our computers or smartphones, they sometimes go wrong without any reason. But if this happened to a self-driving car, the results couldbe terrible. It is hopeful that improvement to the software could be a way to work out this problem.5.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? ( )A.Self-driving cars for disabled people.B.Tips for riding in self-driving cars.C.Advantages of self-driving cars.D.Reasons for testing self-driving cars.6.When sensing an obstacle(障碍) in the road, self-driving cars will . ( )A.attack it with a laser beamB.slow down or change directionC.crash into it to get past itD.stop and move around it7.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?()A.The laser pointer.B.The sensor.C.The self-driving car.D.The street.8.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.Self-driving cars will be used as taxis in Beijing in the future.B.Traveling in self-driving cars can always be safe.C.Traveling in self-driving cars may make people more relaxed.D.Researchers have found ways to solve the problems self-driving cars have.【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者和妻子在自己生活极其不宽裕的情况下帮助了一个无家可归的人,后来他们的善举得到了其他人的响应,越来越多的人加入到帮助他人的行列中来。

Ⅱ. 阅读理解Passage 1 [2020·原创]Fireworks(烟花) may seem like a very American tradition, especially on the 4th of July. But fireworks go back many years before the first American Independence Day celebration, which took place in 1777, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.The earliest fireworks can be traced(追溯) to around 2,000 years ago in China. People then are said to have roasted bamboo stalks. The stalks turned black and sizzled. The air inside the hollowstalks would explode(爆炸). Baozhu is a Mandarin Chinese word for firecracker. It means “e xploding bamboo”.Years later, Chinese chemists took fireworks a step further. This happened sometime between 600 and 900 A.D. People filled bamboo shoots with gunpowder. They threw them into a fire pit. Steel dust or iron shavings were added to make them sparkle. In China, these firecrackers were often used in celebrations.In the 13th century, fireworks spread to Europe. In the centuries that followed, Europeans began moving to North America. So it was no surprise that when July 4th began to be celebrated as America's Independence Day, fireworks were part of the plan.John Adams was one of America's Founding Fathers. He said he hoped the anniversary of the country's independence would be marked for years to come by “bonfires”.The first July 4th celebration happened during the middle of the Revolutionary War. Cannons were fired. Fireworks, too, marked the occasion.Today, fireworks are an established July 4 tradition. Will you see a fireworks display this Independence Day?Note: It is dangerous (and illegal, in some states) to own and set off fireworks. The use of fireworks is best left to professionals.1.What do Chinese people use to make fireworks?( )A.Bamboo stalks.B.Gunpowder.C.Steel dust.D.All the above.2.What can we know about fireworks in the passage? ( )A.Fireworks appeared between 600 and 900 A.D.B.Fireworks are also called as “exploding bamboo”.C.Fireworks spread to North America first, then to Europe.D.The first July 4th celebration only used fireworks to make the occasion.3.Who can set off fireworks in America?

( )A.fireworks are part of the celebrations in EuropeB.fireworks are used in every country nowC.Americans can watch a fireworks display this Independence DayD.many countries don't allow people to set off fireworksPassage 2 [2020·原创]On the second Sunday in May, American children of all ages treat their mothers to something special. It is the day when children, young and old, try to show how much they appreciate(感激) their mothers, or those who have served as mother figures in their lives.England was one of the first countries to set aside(留出) a day to recognize mothers. In the eighteenth century when many people worked as servants for the rich, “Mothering Sunday” was a day for them to return home to be with their mothers. Though this custom changed after the Industrial Revolution, mothers in England are still honored with a special day in March.In the United States, the idea of Mother's Day was first introduced in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe, a famous writer and social reformer of the time. However, the establish men of an official day to honor mothers was because of the love of one daughter, Anna Jarvis. As a girl, Anna helped her mother take care of her garden, filled mostly with white carnations, her mother's favorite flower. When Mrs. Jarvis died on May 5, 1905, Anna decided to honor her. Anna Jarvis began writing to members of congress, asking them to set aside a day to honor mothers. In 1910, the governor of West Virginia decided the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. A year later, every state was celebrating it, and in 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared(宣布) the first national Mother's Day.On Mother's Day morning, some American children follow the tradition of serving their mothers breakfast in bed. Other children will give their mothers gifts that they have made themselves or bought in stores. Adults also give their mothers cards, gifts, and flowers—often red carnations, the official Mother's Day flower. Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for American restaurants. Because family members do not want Mom to have to cook dinner!5.When did Mother's Day become a national Mother's Day? ( )A.In 1905.B.In 1910.C.In 1911.D.In 1914.6.Which of the following is wrong? ( )A.People show thanks to mothers and those who have served as mother figures.B.People in England honor their mothers on the second Sunday in May.C.Julia Ward first introduced the idea of Mother's Day.D.Anna's mother's favorite flower is white carnations.7.According to the passage, what might people do on Mother's Day except . ( )A.serve their mothers breakfast in bedB.give their mothers giftsC.eat dinner at a restaurant with MothersD.help their mothers take care of the garden8.What is the purpose of the passage? ( )A.To talk about the lady Anna Jarvis.B.To ask us to be kind and helpful to Mothers.C.To tell us the history and tradition of Mother's Day.D.To tell the difference of Mother's Day in England and America.Ⅲ. 任务型阅读下面文章中共有5处(第1—5题)需要添加小标题。

速测(十三) 完形+阅读C+D+词汇运用(限时:25分钟)Ⅰ.完形填空Galileo was an Italian scientist. But in the books of Japanese writer Higashino Keigo(东野圭吾), Galileo is a detective. His 1 name is Manabu Yukawa and works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as 2 as Galileo the scientist and has great talent for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for 3 to solve hard cases.Yukawa is a quiet person but sometimes can also be cold. He is only interested in 4 . So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows 5 interest. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very 6 .While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes 7 use of his physics and maths knowledge. Sometimes he may even do 8 to prove(证明) his thoughts.Most cases 9 Yukawa solves seem supernatural(超自然的) and impossible. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died 10 burns to the head while partying at night. Police believe it to be a(n) 11 caused by firecrackers(爆竹). But Yukawa doesn't think it could be that 12 . He finds something that reminds him that lasers(激光) can also burn things. After some experiments, he proves his 13 —it was a high-tech murder(高科技谋杀) that used mirrors and a laser.Besides his high IQ, Yukawa is also tall and handsome. 14 , he is not very good at dealing with people, especially with kids and women.

But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese? And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13th century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this “golden”period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Cortez and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.1.When is the golden age of European explorers? ( )A.The 15th century.B.The 16th century.C.The 13th century.D.The 15th and 16th centuries.2.Which is not the voyage of exploration taking place during the golden period? ( )A.Columbus sailed to America.B.Marco Polo travelled to China.C.Ferdinand Magellan voyaged round the world.D.Cortez and Pizarro reached South America.3.Who defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico? ( )A.Pizarro.B.Cortez.C.Incas.D.Columbus.4.From the passage, we can know that . ( )A.Many countries in South America have been influenced by European countriesB.The period of the 15th and 16th centuries was the beginning of the European explorationC.European explorers occupied some American countries in a peaceful wayD.Ferdinand Magellan's voyage round the world is not famous at allPassage 2 [2019·常州改编]Basketball can be fun, or it can be trouble. People gather around a ball, but their reactions (反应) often go beyond the object.It was a terribly hot summer day when the group of us appeared on the basketball court. Silently, we teamed up and played, as always. The sun was a big “squeezer (挤压者)”, as it not only squeezed out of us sweat(汗水) and energy, but also our unhappy feelings. Body contact became more and more often, and we could all feel the attacks of elbows (肘部). After another round of game, one of the players and I fell to the ground at the same time. From his burning eyeballs, I could see a fight was almost unavoidable.It suddenly came to me that my tins of Cola were lying on the ground, about an inch away from me. “Buddy, hot down here. What about a drink?” I said to him.Carefully I rolled (滚动) one to him, looking at him in the eyes with my most sincere (真诚的) expression on the face. “I guess I'm quite fine. Lucky no broken bones or we'll end up in the hospital!” I said.Other players watching nearby all laughed. I could clearly see some movements on his face. My humour did work! He picked the Cola up, tried to open it, and walked over. As he passed by my side, he held out his left hand, and smiled at me. I smiled back, took his hand, and gave him a light shake.A gentle wind caught me on the face as I returned to the basketball court. The sun continued to provide warmth for us. What could be better than a group of school students exchanging basketball skills on a warm, sunny afternoon?1.The underlined word “unavoidable” means .

I have learned how much a person working in the medical field can do for them.When I was in Mexico, I met a little girl. I was watching a tooth filling with Dr Sussi 2 I heard her laughter from across the room. I saw a little kid holding a toy and dancing and 3 with my friend Kevin. But her skin looked very 4 . While I was looking at her, Dr Sussi said, “Do you know her story?”I 5 my head.“The girl got 80 percent burns on her body when she was 3 years old. Her house was 6 . She was found to have third-degree burns and immediately sent to hospital. 7 , she was saved but her skin was…”I was shocked that she had gone through so much. I walked 8 and realised that all her body was covered with scars(伤疤). Her fingers and hair were 9 gone. To be honest, I was a little afraid to look at her. Her pure eyes made me feel that she was a(n) 10 girl. She probably didn't realise 11 she was different than others.Dr Sussi told me later that her mum took her to the clinic to play with us every weekend.

The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 25, 2019.The movie was made from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley asks Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to concerts, but they face problems because of Shirley's skin colour. These problems lead them to forma special friendship.“There's something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic(评论家) Mick Lasalle at the San Francisco Chronicle.The time Lasalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws(《吉姆·克劳法》), which allowed racial segregation(种族隔离).These laws made life and travel dangerous for African-Americans. They couldn't use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after the sunset or they might go to jail(牢). Even the famous black people had to follow the laws.But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too.Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probably don't know about The Green Book.It's a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.1.What prize did the movie win at the 91st Academy Awards?

It's a piece of fishing equipment that the shark ate carelessly. After traveling into her body, the spike punctured(刺) through the shark's stomach.A man swimming in the water notices the shark. Then, he warns Sea World Marine Park in the nearby town of Gold Coast. Sea World sends a 12-person team from its rescue center to where the shark was discovered in Moreton Bay Ma rine Park. Soon, they find her lying on the seafloor. “She'll die without help,”says Trevor Long, leader of the rescue center.Using an onboard crane(吊车), the rescuers move the shark into their boat's 13-foot-long tank(缸). Then Dr. David Blyde gives the shark pain medicine and performs an operation to removethe spike. After that, the team sails with the shark to Sea World 33 miles away. They place the fish in a 49-foot-long tank and wait to see if she gets better.To give the shark's stomach time to get better, she isn't fed for the first few days. A week after her operation, Long offers the shark a small, dead fish. The animal refuses to eat. But days later when he drops another fish into her tank, the shark enjoys her meal. By now the shark's wounds are getting better.Two weeks after her rescue, they take the shark back to the boat and return her to Moreton Bay Marine Park. As the fish is lowered by the crane to the water's surface, two rescuers jump into the ocean and guide her into the sea. From t he boat, Long watches her swim away.“The shark has another chance,” Long says.1.What happens to the sand tiger shark?

If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personalmemory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory(交互记忆)”.According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.5.The passage begins with two questions to . ( )A.show the author's attitudeB.introduce the main topicC.describe how to use the InternetD.explain how to store information6.What can we learn about the first experiment? ( )A.Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.B.The first group did not try to remember the information.C.The two groups remembered the information equally well.D.The second group did not understand the information.7.In transactive memory, people . ( )A.keep the information in mindB.change the quantity of informationC.remember how to find the informationanize information like a computer8.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? ( )A.We are becoming more intelligent.B.We are using memory differently.C.We have poorer memories than before.D.We need a better way to access information.Ⅲ.[2020·原创]任务型阅读下面文章中共有5处(第1—5题)需要添加小标题。

Is it because they're hungry? Or is there a scientific explanation?There are a number of theories(理论) to explain overeating. One factor(因素) 1. (depend) on the time of day. “It's all part of a habit,” says Randy Seeley, a professor in Cincinnati. “You're 2.(hunger) at noon because that's the time you've eaten lunch for the past 100 days.” Another reason we may eat more than necessary is because the body needs 3. (satisfy) a sweet tooth or a craving(渴望) for sugar. Drinking alcohol also makes people eat more, because 4. body wants something to absorb(吸收) the alcohol.Overeating can also be a biological question. For example, your body temperature can tell your brain that you feel hungry. “Your body temperature drops 5. it's time to eat, and eating warms you up,” says Gina Harlow, a professor 6. Harvard University. Also, the smell of certain foods can make us 7. (imagine) the pleasure of eating them. Harlow adds, “If you know you love French fries, smelling them will make you want to eat 8.because you know how good they are. And that can lead to eating too much.”9. , the next time you realise you've eaten too much, don't worry 10. it. You can always blame it on science.【Group B】Ⅰ.单词拼写1.Smiling costs n , but gives so much.2.Jeff is a good l .

(do) their homework. So kids hate homework. However, their parents hate homework, 2. .Is it good for kids to do homework? Of course, a great number 3. researches do show that kids can remember 4. they have learnt in class better by finishing their homework on time and homework itself plays an important role in developing their learning skills, such as independent thinking and creativity.But for parents, the result is not 5. same. After a day of hard work, most of them feel like they're going through school a 6. (two) time when they sit down with their kids each night to help with their homework. And a recent survey found that 46 percent of 7. (parent) feel like they don't spend enough quality time with their children, because they spend too much time doing the housework or helping with homework. And another 29 percent of parents have arguments(争论) with their kids often when they have different answers to the same question.Now several education scientists 8. (strong) advise parents to stop helping. They say it 9.(give) their kids more independence and give parents back their free time. At the same time, the number of homework-connected arguments will be less at home.Kate Smith, an education scientist, says,“You don't have to know everything. Children need to put 10.

It is one of the most popular English songs of all time. Here's the story behind it.The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. It was first published under the title of “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom.The composer, Mildred Hill, was a concert pianist. Her sister Patty Smith Hill wrote the original lyrics for the song while she was a teacher in a kindergarten in Louisville, Kentucky, where Mildred also taught.The Hill sisters copyrighted their song on October 16, 1893. However, it appeared without their agreement in Robert H. Coleman's songbook on March 4,1924. Coleman changed part of the lyrics to say,“Happy Birthday to You”,although the song stillhad its original title. The song was then published several times over the next ten years, often with small changes in the lyrics. In 1934, when the song was sung every night in a Broadway Musical, another Hill sister, Jessica, went to court over the copyright problem of the song. She was angry about the theft of the song and the failure to pay to her sisters. She won her case. The Hill family owned the rights to the melody and had to be paid every time the song was part of a commercial production.The Hill sisters, who devoted their lives to educating children, could never imagine that the simple little song would continue to earn about $2 million every year.1.What's the “Happy Birthday to You” song written for at first?()A.Celebrating a person's birthday.B.Welcoming students to the classroom.C.Greeting friends when they meet.D.Playing in a party to welcome someone.2.According to the passage, which is the right order?

()A.why the “Happy Birthday to You” song is sung in outer spaceB.the story of the “Happy Birthday to You” songC.the way the sisters get back the copyrightD.the sisters make money by writing the simple little songPassage 2[2020·原创]Blue whales love to sing. Males sing to attract mates and to communicate across long distances. People are capable of hearing only certain parts of a whale song, so scientists use special audio equipment to record and study the songs in detail. Over several decades, they've noticed that the songs have gotten lower in pitch. Pitch describes how high or low a sound is.Emmanuelle Leroy and a team of scientists now think they know why. They've studied more than a million songs from five groups of whales. Last fall, the team's report was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. It sheds light on why the pitch of whale songs has gotten lower: Whales aren't singing as loudly as they used to.So why are whales singing more softly? Leroy's study presents two hypotheses(假设). The first is that there are more whales. Before the 1970s, commercial whale hunting brought whale populations near extinction. But starting in 1985, the International Whaling Commission banned commercial whaling. As the whale population has increased, whales have generally begun to live closer together. And if the whales are closer together, they don't have to sing as loudly to communicate.The study's second hypothesis is that the pitch of whale songs has dropped due to climate change. An increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has made ocean water more acidic, changing its acoustics(传声效果). Now the songs can be heard from farther away, so the whales don't have to sing as loudly. But for the environment, water that's more acidic could be damaging to some marine life.Leroy says that confirming either hypothesis would require more research. “We would need to understand how the blue wha les emit the song,” she says. But that would mean studying individual whales which is hard to do. Scientists continue to study whale songs. Each study adds to our understanding. “Maybe our hypotheses will be proven in 10 years,” Leroy says.“Science is often a journey.”5.What do scientists find after they study the whale songs? ()A.The pitch of the whale songs has become lower.B.Whales are singing as loudly to communicate.C.Whales aren't singing more softly.D.The pitch of the whales doesn't change.6.According to the two hypotheses, which is not right? ()mercial whale hunting is the reason for decrease in the number of whales.B.The whales live closer so they don't have to sing as loudly.C.Climate change leads to the lower pitch of whale songs.D.Water that's more acidic is good for the environment too.7.The underlined word “that” refers to . ()A.confirming either hypothesisB.more researchC.understanding how the blue whales emit the songD.knowing the reasons the whales singing more softly8.What can we learn from the last paragraph?()A.Scientists can prove the two hypotheses in ten years.B.Some studies are useless because they can't prove hypotheses.C.Nobody knows whether the two hypotheses can be proven or not.D.Scientists will study individual whales.【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了“我”竞选班长,但是落选了的故事。

However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems, according to NASA.That's why astronauts shouldn't spend more than six months on the International Space Station(ISS) at a time.Muscle and bonelessIn a weightless environment, astronauts don't need to use their muscles to support themselves. Therefore, their muscles start shrinking(萎缩). To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise about 2 hours each day on the ISS. The weightless environment also causes astronauts' bones to lose minerals(矿物质), with density(密度) dropping at over 1 percent per month. The rate of bone loss for elderly people on the Earth is 1 to 1.5 percent per year.Sleep disorderIn space, the sun rises every 90 minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to this light-dark cycle when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall, which is uncomfortable. Astronauts now have individual sleeping pods(分离仓) that help shut out some of the light. Still, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.Brain changesScientists have found that the position of the brain changes during spaceflight. It shifts upward within the skull(头骨). This can affect how the brain deals with how we see, stay balanced and move around.That's why some astronauts can't control their movement and balance after returning to the earth.Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more spaceflights. But they still need to do more research.1.According to the passage, astronauts may suffer the following health problems: .( )a.bone lossb. sleep disorderc. mental diseased. muscle shrinkinge. high blood pressureA.abeB.abcC.abdD.bcd2.According to the passage, which one is NOT TRUE? ( )A.Astronauts don't suffer muscle problems after returning to the earth.B.Astronauts sleep in individual sleeping pods to stay warm at night.C.In space, astronauts have the problem that their muscles start shrinking.D.Most astronauts only sleep less than eight and a half hours.3.How can astronauts deal with the problem of losing their balance? ( )A.They can walk upside-down on the earth.B.They can go on more spaceflights.C.They can take some medicine.D.They can sleep more and rest.4.What's the best title for this passage? ( )A.Dream of traveling into spaceB.Health problems in spaceC.Muscle and bone loss in spaceD.Astronauts in spacePassage 2 [2019·连云港改编]The human body is a machine that can raise lots of interesting questions. Why, for example, are yawns(呵欠)contagious(传染的)?What's up with ice-cream headaches? Here are answers to these and other questions about our bodies.Why do I get a headache when I eat ice-cream too quickly? Scientists aren't exactly sure what causes the brain freeze when we eat ice-cream or other super-cold foods too quickly, though some believe it's the result of changed blood flow in the nervous system. Blood vessels in the head tighten to stop the loss of body heat and then relax to let blood flow rise; that sudden rush of blood is what causes the headache. You can improve an ice-cream headache by rapidly rubbing your tongue acrossthe roof of your mouth to help warm up things.What causes my stomach to make a low continuous noise when I'm hungry? Actually, your stomach makes noise whether you're hungry or full; you just hear it more clearly when you're hungry.Think of your digestive tract(消化道)as a really long tube lined with smooth muscle tissue. These muscles move food, fluids and gas through your digestive tract.And that's what you're hearing when your stomach makes noise.Why do I blush when I'm embarrassed? When you're embarrassed,your brain releases a shot of adrenaline(肾上腺素), which makes your heart race and blood vessels become larger in size.There are a lot of tiny blood vessels in your face,which turn noticeably redder from this sudden rush of blood.As for the actual function of blushing,researchers are still trying to find that one out.Why are yawns contagious?Have you ever yawned in front of someone, only to have them yawn right back? It's a common thing but researchers don't have a good explanation for it.They do, however, know this happens only with humans and chimpanzees(黑猩猩).5.What is the meaning of the underlined word “tighten”?( )A.To become looser.B.To become smaller.C.To become longer.D.To become shorter.6.What's the structure of the passage? ( )A. B. C. D.7.Which of the following statements is TRUE?( )A.There is no way for you to improve an ice-cream headache.B.Researchers have found out the actual function of blushing.C.Your stomach makes noise only when you are hungry.D.Researchers don't have a good explanation for why yawns are contagious.8.What is the best title of the passage?
