Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

2019-2020学年广东省普宁市高三上学期期末考试英语试题1. Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.1. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?A．They find foreign living much easier.B．They love the adventure and exploration.C．They have the necessary language skills.D．They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.2. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?A．Culture shock. B．Homesickness.C．Health problems. D．Lack of employment.3. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?A．Go on holidays frequently. B．Learn how to open a bank account.C．Study the local language. D．Seek out people from their home country.2. I wrote a business plan the other day. I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading it, he said, “I don’t think this is up to your usual standards.” I said, “I need more information. What doesn’t work?” He said he wasn’t sure. I then took the letter and reread it.He asked, “How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space?” I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his notes and told him he didn’t understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged (耸肩) and said OK. I took the letter and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my letter improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the letter back to my husband. He read it for the third time and said, “It’s still not right but I couldn’t exactly say.” I was a little annoyed and then told him I was the writer and I had seen some goofy letters he sent out. But I picked up my letter and went back to the computer.After an hour of revisions, I went back to my husband apologetically with letter in hand. I told him I was sorry for what I’d said and asked if he would please read the letter again because I did value his contribution. Being a very patient and kind-hearted fellow, he once again read my letter and declared that it was fine.This all leads me to the following: When you ask for advice on a project, be appreciative and grateful. Understand that the advice and suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.1. Why did the author give her business plan to her husband at first?A．To show off her excellent work.B．To have him type it on the computer.C．To ask him to make some changes from all details.D．To ask him to give her some advice.2. The author’s husband shrugged after hearing her words because he ________.A．believed in his judgement but couldn’t find whyB．knew there was nothing wrong in the business planC．doubted about himself since he found no excusesD．believed he himself was right and knew the roots3. We can infer from the passage that the author’s husband was _________.A．selfish, proud and determinedB．good at expressing himselfC．honest, kind and patientD．humorous, active and careful4. The author wants to tell us that if you ask for suggestions, ________.A．do accept all suggestions from the giversB．don’t get upset if some are negativeC．do keep silent before taking actionD．do be grateful and confident3. As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. These are examples of ho w peers positively influence each other.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely.” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two.1. For whom is the passage most probably written?A．Parents. B．Teachers.C．Students. D．Doctors.2. In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_____.A．explains why friendship is so importantB．shows how to make more good friendsC．discusses how peers influence usD．gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure3. Which of following may help handle peer pressure?A．Spending more time with classmates.B．Taking up more relaxing hobbies.C．Choosing friends with no bad habits.D．Helping others who are in trouble.4. What is the topic of the passage?A．Friendship. B．Making decisionsC．Self-confidence D．Peer pressure4. When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me upfor love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at that time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s drea ms. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think, “Yes, I must tell…”, though we have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kindness is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to________.A．become serious about her study B．go to her friend’s house regularlyC．learn from her classmates at school D．share poems and stories with her friend 2. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means________.A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC．our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD．we parted with each other in London3. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to________.A．seek professional help B．be left aloneC．stay with her best friend D．break the silence4. What is the best title for the passage?A．Unforgettable Experiences B．Noble CompanionsC．Remarkable Imagination D．Lifelong Friendship5. Get a Thorough Understanding of OneselfIn all one’s life time, it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. 1When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. 2 It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.Gain a correct view of oneself. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 3Self-appreciate. Whether you compare yourself to a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. 4 If you earnestly (诚挚地) admire yourself, you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation.5 In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing it in a quiet place so t hat you won’t be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.Get a full control of one’s lif e. Then one will find one’s life full of color and flavor.6. I’ve been obsessed (痴迷的) with languages for as long as I can remember. My dad could talk to everyone with ease, confidently _________ between languages. His abilities made a big impression on me, but he didn’t _________ me to follow his lead.I wasn’t a(n) _________ language learner. I made slow progress with French at school and almost gave it up. But things felt different when I _________ German at university — loving many German writers in translation, I wanted to read them in their _________ tongue, and that’s been my main_________ for learning new ones since.

ARemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it．Recite and repeat in conversationWhen you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeatYou can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’ re making to learn their names．Admit you don’ t knowAdmitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associationsLink each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. ” To strengthen your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one timeWhen meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go earlyConsider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to the others--an automatic review for you.1．How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be delighted.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be moved.D. They will be discouraged.2．If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may _________.A. ask others to help youB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. tell him the truth3．When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember _________.A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possibleBWinslow Homer was a famous American painter. Since Art History class in college, I had always admired his works and I was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting, “Snap the Whip”. I had it framed and until I retired from teaching it always hung in my classroom.I thought it truly captured (捕捉) the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting, a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes!During my last year of teaching, there was a young woman in her first year of teaching rightnext door to me and we got to be good friends. She had been an art student before changing to education. Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she entered my room. So on my last day of teaching, after the students had left, I took the painting off the wall and walked next door and gave it to her.She was really surprised, but very pleased to have it. I was pleased that she liked it and all the students she would have would value it as much as I had. We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. “Thank you for bringing back this wonderful memory for me,” I said to her.4．How did the author treat his painting bought at the exhibition?A. He used it to decorate his room.B. He donated it to the school.C. He put it up in his classroom first.D. He put it away in a farm house.5．What is the topic of the painting?A. The scene of barefoot children.B. The pleasure of study.C. The image of hard-working students.D. The nature of children.6．Why did the author give away his favorite picture to the woman?A. She appreciated it a lot.B. She was his favourite student.C. She needed it in her teaching.D. She would pass it to his students.7．How did the author feel after his painting hung in the woman’s room?A. painfulB. gratefulC. doubtfulD. regretfulCChinese car makers have narrowed the quality gap with their foreign rivals (竞争对手) in the world’s largest vehicle market to the smallest level in seven years, according to the research.But the improvements have not been enough to see an obvious drop in the market share for local car companies this year, raising questions about their ability to be global competitors.The annual (年度的) quality survey of China’s car market by J.D. Power, a Californian market research company, tracks the number of mechanical and design problems reported per 100 vehicles by more than 21,000 Chinese drivers.It recorded 131 problems per 100 domestic (国内的) vehicles, compared with 95 per 100 foreign vehicles. The 36-point gap was the narrowest in the study’s seven-year history. When China overtook the US as the world’s largest car maker in the 2009, the gap between domestic and foreign cars was 145 points. “It’s evidence to the improvements that domestic brands have been making,” said Geoff Broderick, head of J.D. Power’s operations. “In a few years the domestic and the global brands will be equal in terms of quality.”Despite the steady improvement in quality, local vehicle makers have been performing poorly this year. “Chinese customers are very picky in the world because they have been trained to distrust products,” said Mr Broderick, citing scandals (丑闻) affecting baby milk powder and toys. “They go into a situation expecting there could be quality issues, whereas in the West we trust the brands.”8．What does the underlined word “their” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Chinese car makers’.B. Froeign car companies’.C. Chinese drivers’.D. The SUVs’.9．J.D. Power is ________.A. a milk brandB. a car makerC. a head of an associationD. a name of a company10．The data in the fourth paragraph shows that ________.A. the market share of the domestic cars has droppedB. J.D. Power has done many surveys in the past seven yearsC. China’s cars have many mechanical and design problemsD. the quality of domestic vehicles has been improved11．According to what Mr. Broderick said in the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.A. he doesn’t like Chinese customers because they don’t trust productsB. Chinese car market will be optimistic as is expectedC. Chinese and western consumers have different attitudes to productsD. it is easier for China’s car companies to sell cars to the WestDThere exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so it’s not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us tide through difficult times in our lives. Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store?I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.12．According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that ____________.A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people’s spiritsC. it can help people get on well with othersD. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world13．The underlined phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph can be replaced by __________.A. speaking loudB. laughing hardC. explaining carefullyD. acting strangely14．What is the author’s attitude towards the present world?A. Positive.B. Satisfied.C. Critical.D. Indifferent.15．In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to __________.A. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeB. talk about his own understanding of humorC. introduce a practical way to get through daily life16．convince people of the power of being optimistic about life（二）2019学年第一学期广东二师附中期末测试高二级试题英语第一部分阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy （哲学）． Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success． Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly．Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle﹣class family, the young Johndidn't attend a private school, but went to a public one． His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies． After his father's death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis （肺结核）, he began viewing life differently． He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on．At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor． However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser． He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell． Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine． However, the negative response didn't stop his loveof rhythm．John Keats' next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818． The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventureof one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human． FollowingEndymion, however, he tried something more narrative﹣based （叙事体的） and wrote Isabella． During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences． He would have to have the "knowledge" associated with his poems． His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned． However, a bout （发作） with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821．（1）Why did John Keats' change attitude towards life？________A Because his parents passed away．B Because he only received poor education．C Because Edmund Spenser's poetry influenced him toomuch． D Because he received a lot of criticism from a magazine．（2）While trying to achieve his dream of becoming a poet， John Keats was________．A experiencedB impatientC knowledgeableD determined．（3）What do we know from the passage？________A Keats received little education at school．B Endymion was concerning a real love story．C In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem．D Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor．18. Volcanic ash from Iceland's volcano continues to cause disruptions to air travel across Northern Europe． As the nearly universal grounding of aircraft causes problems for 25 countries in Europe, the passengers are starting to run into secondary problems from the four days of being ________． Additionally, the further effect of economic losses are beginning to pile up．Already the chaos surrounding the volcanic ash is being compared to the days after9/11． As the ash plume continues to ground air transport, it is estimated that nearly 17, 000 flights a day have been canceled at the cost of nearly ﹩2.7 million a day, according to a report filed by the Wall Street Journal． In the report, it was said that cost was for a single airline, and that the cost for other lines could be measured in hundreds of millions of dollars．While the cost on the airline industry is significant , the cost on passengers is more significant． Airline cancellations have forced many travelers into hotels and more are looking to their travel insurance plans to cover the costs． The U．K．'s Independent reported that travel insurance plans have a rule that make claims from travelers invalid． In these policies , travel insurances which are purchased as a way to cover additional costs when travel plans are unexpectedly disrupted because the specific event like a volcanic eruption is not mentioned． Then the policy does not cover the event．However, there is hope, though, as Air France and Dutch airline KLM both report positive test flights of aircraft at different altitudes to ensure the safety of flight． It is not known if these flights will be the beginning or just one﹣off chance flights． These flights were operated in a window of operations in the ash plume, but due to the erratic nature of the airflow, there is no guarantee that this will open up air operations over Europe． At this rate, the nations of Europe will be likely to see a significant impact on their pocketbooks, both in the corporations and the individual households．（1）The underlined word stranded probably means________．A struckB controlledC stuckD disturbed．（2）From this passage we can see that________．A the volcanic ash caused more trouble than 9/11 didB airlines suffered great losses due to the eruptionC travelers had to ask for help from the governmentD nearly﹩.2.7 million was lost in all．（3）Why are claims about insurance from travelers unacceptable？________A Because volcanic eruption isn't included in travel plans．B Because volcanic eruption companies don't keep their word．C Because airlines haven't bought insurance for travelers．D Because airlines didn't expect the eruption．．（4）This passage mainly tells us about________．A the volcanic eruption in IcelandB the great trouble for air travelsC the unfavorable flight conditionD the cost of European airlines．19. By the mid﹣1920s, Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century． had been one of the most celebrated men．In 1957, when Pablo Picasso was in his seventh decade, he joked that x﹣ray technology might one day reveal a lost work underneath one of his early paintings． Today, that prediction became reality although the technology involved goes far beyond x﹣rays．Using hyper﹣modern tools to peer into one of his Blue Period paintings, researchers have not only shown a hidden piece of art history in astonishing new detail, they have revealed a striking amount of insight into Picasso's creative process and style．The investigation focused on"La Miséreuse accroupie, "or" Crouching Woman, "painted in 1902 and currently owned by the Art Gallery． The painting, an oil on canvas （画布）piece drawing a crouching （蜷坐的） woman who wears a long coat, shows Picasso's typical Blue Period colors: grey, green, blue and white． It shows that the innovative modernist was inspired by the lines of an underlying landscape painted by an unknown artist．The analysis also exposes several changes to the woman described in the painting, many of which Picasso ultimately abandoned． Researchers released their findings on Saturday's press conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science inAustin, Texas． "We think now it's a landscape painted by someone enrolled at the fine arts academy in Barcelona, someone in Picasso's orbit but not in his close circle, "says Kenneth Brummel, assistant curator of modern art for the Art Gallery of Ontario．As to why Picasso would have "recycled" another artist's canvas（油画布）, reasons could range from economic necessity, as a young artist still establishing himself, to deep inspiration driven by the lines of the image already laid down there． Picasso often re﹣used canvases for this reason．""He didn't shave off the canvas or put a preparatory layer over it, " Brummel says．" Picasso saw this landscape, found inspiration, and decided he was going to paint it immediately．"（1）According to the text ，the most likely process of Picasso's painting？________①Picasso reused another artist's canvas．②Inspired by a landscape painting， Picasso decided to paint one too．③Picasso pa inted a woman on the landscape painting．④Not happy with the landscape， Picasso covered it totally．⑤Picasso made changes to the womanA ②③④B ④②③C ①③⑤D ②①④．（2）How did Picasso deal with the landscape painting？________A He reused it because he hated wasting anything．B He hid his own paintings beneath the landscape．C He took the advantage of it and created a newone． D He kept it to himself with the permission of its owner．．（3）What can we infer from the passage？________A People often celebrated Picasso's success．B Picasso was not well﹣off when he started his career．C Picasso became successful overnight．D Picasso was good at imitating other artists' works．．（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？________A Picasso's predication turned out to be jokeB High technology uncovered art mysteriesC Seeing is not always believingD Lost Artwork Found Under Famous Picasso Painting．20. Ever wonder how this season's celebrations affect the environment? Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic:The holidays are a wonderful, cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents． But I'm not like most people． I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeer are, and more importantly, how I can calculate those impacts．Lately I've been particularly curious as to whether Santa's old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally﹣friendly car． I should mention that, surprisingly, I was unable to find statistics specific to Santa's magical flying reindeer, so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals． In other words, don't complain to the government about the damage Santa is causing to the environment based on this article．Santa's yearly trip around the globe is 44, 000km long, twice the average of a North American driver． If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip, then reindeer power only needs to push Santa's sled forward． To complete the trip in 12 hours, I estimate they must travel at a speed of about 3100km/h． To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!So the next question is: how much food is in 980 million calories? Well, if they're eating corn, they'd need to eat 16, 500 lbs each ﹣ or 1.6 acres of food． Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that we'll leave for another calculation．We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are "letting out" some of that corn in the form of methane （甲烷，沼气）． A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons． With methane causing 20 times the global warming damage of CO2, and the altitude increasing that damage by 1000% that another 20 times, we can put Santa's round﹣trip emissions at15, 488 tons． This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally﹣friendly car wouldrelease on the same trip!Bad Santa．（1）Which aspect does the writer NOT mention in her analyses about reindeer's influence on environment？________A Distance covered．B Money spent on food．C Tons of waste letout． D Calories consumed．．（2）According to the passage， how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed 12 reindeer？________A 12.8B 16C 19.2D 128．（3）Which of the following words best describes the tone of the passage？________A Humorous and concerned．B Cheerful and friendly．C Academic and formal．D Serious and boring．．（4）Which of the following is the best title for this passage？________A Santa， watch where you're going!B Let's reduce waste on Christmascelebrations! C Santa Claus is coming to town! D Is Santa driving clean and green？．第二节（共5题，每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．21. Many people believe that heart disease only affects older men．（1）_______．The reality is that people of all ages die of heart attacks each year．And while death rates have declined in the U．S． and many western European countries， they are on the rise in the developing world．Yet most heart disease is preventable．The challenge of heart disease is that it may be silent for years before causing any noticeable problems．No one would have guessed that Barbara Teng would have a heart attack． She was not overweight． "In 2014， the week after I turned 49 when I was on a business trip in Chicago I had a major heart attack，" she said．（2）_______． She now exercises daily and monitors her heart health．Dr． Patrice Nickens who is with the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute thinks that heart disease is 82 percent preventable． " （3）_______ ，" she said．"Men are also facing the same problem and the key to staying healthy is knowing your numbers"．"Your weight ，your blood cholesterol blood sugar and your blood pressure are important numbers that can help you take action and reduce your risk ，" she said．（4）_______．"And the steps to take are simple： don't smoke， maintain a healthy weight，exercise，know your numbers and talk to your physician and control these risks，" she said．African﹣Americans are at higher﹣than﹣average risk for heart disease and stroke；people don't even know they have it， which increases the risk． Medstar Washington Hospital Center is trying to reach this population．（5）_______．For example， they help the people monitor their blood pressure． If people realize they are at risk for heart disease ，they'll make lifestyle changes： lose weight ，exercise， eat the right foods and keep in touch with a doctor．A． With the right training， they can play an important role in community healthB． A healthy lifestyle can prevent heart diseaseC．Lack of exercise causes heart attacksD．It is the leading cause of death for womenE． This is a set idea that is not trueF．And that changed her life第一节语法填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在答题卡题号为56-65的相应位置上．22. The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals．Migrating （1）________ mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas． "Obviously these animals have developed their travelling （2）________（pattern） over thousands of years． But it is extremely （3）________（like）that these animals can change their habits fast enough，" said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth．（4）________（hard） hit by rising temperatures are turtles． So far， scientists （5）________（find） that at higher temperatures， turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones． It also provides （6）________（evident） that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer．With birds， the main problem is climate﹣related damage to important areas at either endof the travels or at resting places along the way． Other animals （7）________（pick） out as particularly in danger include：the North Atlantic Right Whale，（8）________main food （tiny shrimp） is disturbed by the change in oceanflows and the White﹣Nose Dolphin，which is out﹣competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters．The report is not all bad news． Even with major climatic changes， protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover． "We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level． "The clock （9）________（run）．" said Dr Hepworth． And some animals are already adapting，（10）________ the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour， finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat．一、单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据首字母或中文提示，用单词的恰当形式填空．23.

For years a leading Chinese specialist in respiratory (呼吸的) diseases, Zhong was well-known among his peers, but the outbreak of SARS turned him into a(n) (49) ________ name across the country.In early 2003, the deadly SARS epidemic was first reported in Asia, and then raged across China. When chlamydia (衣原体) was found in two patients, authorities thought it was the major cause. They suggested using antibiotics to treat similar cases. However, after doing his research for a month, Zhong proposed that chlamydia might not be the only cause of SARS. Under his guidance, an effective treatment method was discovered not long after, and Guangdong (50) ________ the lowest mortality rate and highest recovery rate for SARS in China. “Mr. Zhong showed us his relentless spirit in this incident,” said Zheng Jinping, deputy director of the research center for respiratory diseases in Guangzhou. “He is (51) ________, independent and open-minded.

She has been attending the tai chi classes for two years. She said the classes are the most peaceful part of her day. Petersen was homeless before she moved into housing downtown about two years ago.Bernie Hart, a 78-year-old retired machine shop owner, says he found tai chi to be a comforting way to relax, practice balance and control movement when he became anxious before skiing. He thought the exercise could help others find stability in their lives.Classes Give People Something to Look Forward ToPeople gather at the library an hour before the class begins, hugging friends and chatting about their week. The Harts arrived and told the group to (70) ________ out and stretch.David Christopher Coons, who is 54 years old, has been (71) ________ the classes for three years.

A. affordable B. perpetual C. predictable D. noticeableSection B( A )What are pillows really stuffed with? Not physically, but symbolically? The question occurred to me with the photos in the news and social media from the 50 cities around the world that staged public celebrations for International Pillow Fight Day. Armed with nothing more than bring-our-own sacrificial cushions, strangers struck heavily each other in playful feather from Amsterdam to Atlanta, Warsaw to Washington DC. But why? Is there anything more to this delightful celebration?As a cultural sign, the pillow is deceptively soft. Since at least the 16th Century, the humble pillow has been given unexpected meanings. The Chinese playwright Tang Xianzu tells a famous story about a wise man who meets a depressed young scholar at an inn and offers him a magic pillow filled with the most vivid dreams of a seemingly more fulfilling life. When the young man awakens to discover that his happy 50-year dream has in fact come and gone in the short space of an afternoon’s nap, our impression of the pillow’s power shifts from wonder to terror.Subsequent writers have likewise seized upon the pillow. When the 19th-Century English novelist Charlotte Brontë poetically observed “a ruffled (不平的) mind makes a restless pillow”, she didn’t just change the expected order of the adjectives and nouns, but instead she made unclear the boundaries between mind and matter – the thing resting and the thing rested upon.It’s a trick perhaps Brontë learned from the Renaissance philosopher Montaigne, who once insisted that “ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head”. On Montaigne’s thinking, intelligence and happiness confront each other forever in a pillow fight that only one can win.With the words of Tang, Brontë, and Montaigne, we can perhaps more easily measure the attraction of the global pillow fight. Like a ritual of release, the annual international pillow fight amounts to a kind of cleansing, a brushing off of daily worries: an emptying of the world’s collective mind. Rather than a launch-pad for weightless rest, the pillow is a symbol of heavy thought: an anchor that drags the world’s soul down – one that must be lightened.74. The example of Tang Xianzu is used to illustrate that__________.A. pillows give people satisfactory dreamsB. dreams are always wonderful while the real world is cruelC. people’s impression of pillows change from wonder to terrorD. pillows symbolically conveys the meaning in contrast to their soft appearance75. Which of the following is TRUE about Charlotte Brontë according to the passage?A. She wrote poems about pillows.B. She regarded pillows as reflections of our minds.C. She shared the same viewpoint with Tang Xianzu on pillows.D. She was likely to have been influenced by the thoughts of Renaissance.76. The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph “ignorance is the softest pillow on which a mancan rest his head” most probably means __________.A. pillows give us comfortsB. people can easily fall asleep when they know nothingC. pillows make people more intelligentD. people with too many thoughts have less inner peace77. According to the author, why is Pillow Fight Day so popular around the world?A. Because it is a ritual release.B. Because it makes life delightful.C. Because it comforts restless minds.D. Because it contains profound meaning of life.( B )Indian Heroes and Great ChieftainsThe book mainly presents us with the American Indian leaders of the past. It features many profiles and biographies including Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Little Crow and Lozen Quanah etc. written by author Charles Eastman, and I’m sure you will be interested in it.Name: Sitting BullBirth: 1831Death: 12-15-1890He was a great hero and is respected by many American Indians. In a 1997 documentary—The Great Tribes, he was known as a holy man, a composer of songs and an artist. Under him,the Sioux and Cheyenne Nations unified. He was advised to go on a European tour in 1887,but he turned it down to defend these two nations from being separated again. He led his people during years of resistance to United States government policies and was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.Name: Crazy HorseBirth: 1842Death: 9-5-1877Crazy Horse was a legendary warrior and a gentle leader as well as a brave man who stoodfor the highest ideal of the Sioux, celebrated for his battle skills as well as his efforts to preserve Native American traditions and way of life. Resisting efforts to force the Sioux onto reservations, he fought alongside Sitting Bull and others in the American-Indian Wars. Charles Eastman described him in his book Indian Heroes as “a man of deeds and not of words”.Name: Red CloudBirth: 1822Death: 12-10-1909He was against the movement of the white settlers into the Black Hills. In 1868, he refusedto sign a treaty, which stated that the Black Hills didn’t belong to people. The treaty also stated that these areas couldn’t be entered without the government’s permission. Accordingto Eastman’s book Indian Heroes, he was said to have fought against the treaty, forcing the government to give in and pull out of the area.Name: Lozen QuanahBirth: late 1840sDeath: 1890Known as the youngest sister of Red Cloud, she devoted herself to the people. She was described in Peter Aleshire’s Warrior Woman as a heroine good at riding horses and using abow and arrow to drive attackers away. Th is skill was considered to be “one of the most honored skills among the Indians”.78. Sioux and Cheyenne in the passage are ___________.A. colonized landsB. names of tribal groupsC. two countriesD. two nationalities79. Which of the following is NOT true about Crazy Horse?A. He was friendly to his soldier.B. He showed great courage.C. He was a great speaker.D. He valued the conventions.80. From the passage we can infer that .A. Sitting Bull disliked travelingB. Indian Heroes was a book on Indian historyC. in the 1880s Indian soldiers were mainly armed with bows and arrowsD. in the 1850s Indian women were not allowed to ride horses81. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. show Indians’ lives to readersB. describe great Indian heroes and heroinesC. summarize the history of the IndiansD. introduce a history book( C )“Does my smile look big in this?” Future fitting-room mirrors in clothing stores could subtly adjust your reflection to make you look ─and hence feel ─happier, encouraging you to like what you see.That’s the idea behind the Emotion Evoking System developed by Shigeo Yoshida and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. The system can manipulate, or in other words, control your emotions and personal preferences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling or frowning face.The principle that physiological changes can drive emotional ones ─that laughter comes before happiness, rather than the other way around ─is a well-established idea.The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to build a computer system that manipulates how you feel. The system works by presenting the user with a web-camera image of his or her face ─as if they were looking in a mirror. The image is then subtly altered with software, turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the eyes, so that the person appears to smile or frown.Without telling them the aim of the study, the team recruited 21 volunteers and asked them tosit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task. When the task was completed，the participants rated how they felt. When the faces on screen appeared to smile, people reported that they felt happier. On the other hand, when the image was given a sad expression, they reported feeling less happy.Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunteers’ emotional state would influence their preferences. Each person was given a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webcam image. The volunteers that saw themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it, and those that saw themselves not smiling were less likely.“The system could be used to manipulate consumers’ impressions of products”, say the researchers. For example, mirrors in clothing-store fitting rooms could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections. They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive if they see themselves looking happy while trying them on.“It’s certainly an interesting area,” says Chris Creed at the University of Birmingham, UK. But he notes that using such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab, because people will use a wide range of expressions. “Attempting to make slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks believable would be much more challenging,” he says.Of course, there are also important moral questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology. “You could argue that if it makes people happy, what harm is it doing?”says Creed. “But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated, uncomfortable and cheated if they found out.”82.What’s the main purpose of the Emotion Evoking System?A. To see whether one’s feeling can be unconsciously affected.B. To see whether one’s facial expressions can be altered.C. To see whether laughter comes before happiness.D. To replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms.83.What can we learn about the web-camera image in the study?A. It recorded the volunteers’ performance in the task.B. It gave the volunteers a false image.C. It attempted to make the volunteers feel happier.D. It beautified the volunteers’ appearance in the mirror.84.What does Creed mention as a limitation of the technology?A. It only changes the areas around the mouth and the eyes.B. It only works in clothing stores.C. It only makes subtle changes to people’s expressions.D. It only deals with a limited number of facial expressions.85.What does Creed’s comment on the moral issues with this technology imply?A. Nothing is more important than happiness.B. Technology is unable to manipulate people.C. People should make their decisions independently.D. People should neglect the harm of the technology.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once.
