Whatever stage of life you're at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you'll create positive changes in a poor and remote community.We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes. We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community's access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you'll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who'll become your lifelong friends.This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:GDA ensures that volunteers work with community members and local project partners where our help is needed. All our projects aim to promote the development of poor and remote communities.There is no other chance like a GDA programme. Join us as a volunteer manager to develop your own skills while bringing benefits to the communities.Find out more about joining a GDA programme:Website: Email: humanresources@（1）What is the main responsibility of volunteer managers?A.To seek local partners.B.To take in young volunteers.C.To carry out programmes.D.To foster cultural awareness.（2）The programme beginning in August will operate in ______.A.EgyptB.AlgeriaC.KenyaD.South Africa （3）The shared goal of GDA's projects is to ______.A.explore new culturesB.protect the environmentC.gain corporate benefitsD.help communities in need2. In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger﹣style may do more harm than good． Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust．It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave． The study considered three general styles of parenting． Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children's needs． Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness． They take a "my way or the highway" approach to their kids． Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules．Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find "my way or the highway" parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug﹣taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing． Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers． Permissiveparenting, surprisingly, didn't seem to make much of a difference either．To explain the rink between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents' power is． This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don't always like how their parents are treating them． When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better． Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self﹣control and independence．"When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do, " said lead researcher Pick Trinkner． "This is very important as the parent doesn't have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present．"（1）Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the first paragraph to________．A.give an example of authoritarian parentingB.show the advantage of parentingpare two types of parentingD.introduce the topic．（2）According to the research， what kind of parenting style is likely to cause children's criminal behaviors？________A. Caring parentingB. Permissive parentingC. Authoritarian parentingD. Authoritative parenting．．（3）Which of the following probably belongs to the action of the permissive parents？________A.Allowing the kids to stay up late at weekends as the kids like．B.Beating the kids if the kids don't follow their instructions．C.Refusing to listen to the kid's requests and demands．D.Setting some rules and checking the kids' behaviors．．（4）According to the passage， children are more likely to obey the rules when________．A.their parents listen to them totallyB.they believe in and accept their parentsC.their parents are sensitive to their needsD.their parents demand and control their behaviors．3. A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us-the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals have unexpectedly beendisco vered in the skin of mice. “No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher. Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans. “We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too.” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen-a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-la genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion- dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It's hard to say what exactly might be done, however-there's a lot we don't know yet,” Johnson explained. The scienti sts detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B.People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C.It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D.It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice's skin.（2）One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above isA.carrying-oxygen around the bodyB.improving athletes'performanceC.detecting oxygenD.increasing level of oxygen（3）What is Johnson's attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes'training?A.NegativeB.PessimisticC.PositiveD.Hesitating（4）The best title of the passage may beA.Great Findings Benefits Athletes A LotB.Frogs And Mice Are Distant RelativesC.First Known Animal Breathes Through SkinD.Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin4.Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.Time is not very important in nonindustrial（非工业的）societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule（时间表）based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of "sleeps" or longer periods in terms of "moons". Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of "telling time". For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event or a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.In contrast（成对比）, exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modem, industrialized societies.This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory towork efficiently（well, quickly and without waste）, for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated（复杂的）societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.（1）By saying "Humans are social animals", the author means ________.A.they live all over the worldB.They are all connected in one societyC.they live in their own groups as a wholeD.they are divided into many groups（2）Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people in those societies ________.A.don't have the word TIME in their languagesB.don't get used to using clocks and other timepiecesC.don't measure time in their daily-lives around an exact time scheduleD.don't need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule（3）The Australian aborigines' way of "telling time" is based on ________.A.the change of the angle of the sunB.the way sunlight was reflectedC.the position of the stoneD.the position of the tree or the cliff（4）Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A.Time and CultureB.The Measurement of TimeC.Time Schedule and Daily LifeD.Clock, Calendar and Society二、七选五Is Dieting OK for Kids?You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they are going on a diet. You might wonder if you should be on a diet, too.（1）Why? Let’s find out.Dieting to Lose Weight（2） When someone diets to lose weight, the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses. By doing this, the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight. Similarly, if a person eats more calories than the body uses, the person may gain weight.Kids usually do not need to diet in this way.（3） During this time, kids need many kinds of healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly. Some kids are overweight, but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active.（4） But kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic( 极端的), like skipping meals or deciding to eat only vegetables.Who Needs to Diet?Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little, there is no perfect body shape. Some people have bigger bones and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller bones.（5）Your doctor can examine you and check your body mass index (身体质量指数). That’s a way of estimating how much body fat you have. If the doctor is concerned about your weight, he or she can recommend a couple of goals. For some kids, the doctor may recommend losing some weight, but this should be done with the doctor’s help. Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients.A.It is important to form a good eating habit.B.Being overweight can cause health problems.C.Not eating properly can be very harmful to kids.D.Unlike adults, kids are still growing and developing.E.Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight.F.All foods and many drinks contain calories, a kind of energy.G.However, most of kids do not need to and should not diet this way.三、完形填空I took my 10-year-old daughter to the Hollywood sign last week.On clear days,we can see it from our house,and we've always talked about hiking there.We've gotten better at these sorts of _______ .

第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30 分）AAn 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched on the tree near their window.The father asked his son, “What is this? ”The son replied, “It is a crow.”After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you It’s a crow. ”After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this? ”“It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly.A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child. ”1. In what tone did the son say to his Father “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.”?A. impatientB. excitedC. hurriedD. surprised2. Why did the Father ask the same question again and again?A. Because he wanted to make his son angry.B. Because he was too old to remember anything.C. Because he couldn't understand what his son said.D. Because he wanted to see how patient his son would be.3. How old was the old man when his son asked him 23 times “What is this”?A. 35 years old.B. 38 years old.C. 45 years old.D. 80 years old.4. What is the most suitable title for the passage?A. A crow.B. Father's love.C. An old dairy.D. An old manBJohn H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing hard work don’t mean every thing. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here Joh n could go to school, and here he learned the power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mothe r’s words in mind. “ Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $ 150 million.5. John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because _____.A. his father died when John was very youngB. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC. John needed more education badlyD. there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown6. John’s mother ____________.A. didn’t believe in or depend on othersB. thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC. believed one would succeed without working hardD. thought no one could succeed without working hard7. The underlined sentence “Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”means _____.A. if you try, you would succeedB. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you tryC. a try is always followed by a failureD. no failure can be beaten unless you tryCThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady suppl y of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable(可携带的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in xx, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bag’s design. By xx, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was in instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention—dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two or three liters（升） of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure（确保）all air is squeezed（挤压）out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly so cks! What’s even more amazing is that with a capacity（容量）to hold 13-liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is pletely foldable（折叠），making it easy to store when it’s not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!8. What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Pack?A. His job requirementsB. a traditional washboardC. His interest in inventionD. His personal experience9. Why wasn’t Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?A. Clothes couldn’t be washed well.B. The invention was not so convenient.C. The bag couldn’t contain enough water.D. The cost of the invention was very high..10. It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack ________.A. turns to be much environmentally friendlierB. will replace the traditional washing machinesC. will be widely used by more travelers in the futureD. can encourage more people to travel a long distance11. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a great new invention.B. To explain the development of backpackC. To list some mon problems for travelersD. To pare two kinds of washing machinesDWhat do you think about the very first thing in the morning? Your thoughts during the first half-hour of the morning will greatly influence the entire day. You may not realize this, but it is a fact. If you set out with worry and depression, you are giving the key note to a day of discord (混乱) and misfortune. If you think about hope and happiness, you are sounding a note of harmony and success.Control your morning thoughts. The first moment on waking, no m atter what your mood is, say to yourself, “I will get all the fort and pleasure possible out of this day, and I will do something to add to the measure of the world’s happiness or well-being. I will control myself when caused to be unhappy. I will look for the bright side of every event”. Once you say these things over to yourself in a calm way, you will begin to feel more cheerful. The worries and troubles of the ing day will give way.Do not let it discourage you if the moment you leave your room you e across a trouble or a disaster which usually happens. When a schoolboy boasts (吹嘘) of his strength, and says he can “beat any boy in school in games”, he generally gets a chance to prove it. When we declare we are brave enough to overe any fate, we find our strength put to the test at once.Regard the troubles you e across as the “punching bags” of fate (命运), given you to develop your spiritual muscle. Go at them with courage and strike them heavily. By and by the trouble will lessen, and you will find yourself the master of your fate.12. Why does the author say your thoughts in the morning are very important?A. Because the morning is usually the best time of a day.B. Because you ar e usually in high spirits in the morning.C. Because your mood of a day lies in your morning.D. Because your morning thoughts affect your fate greatly.13. What can we do to add to our pleasure?A. Avoid making any mistake in our work.B.

2020-2021学年江苏省南京市高一（上）段考英语试卷（10月份）一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AThis story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my family.My sister,Diana,who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know,went blind in one eye about 9 years ago.Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye looks now.The pupil（瞳孔）is no longer black；it's sort of "glows" in photos.Diana recently purchased a special contact lens（隐形镜片）that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color,but she doesn't wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.One night during our holiday,a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner.Diana casually said if she had known there were going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory,she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn't be so shiny in the picture.The next day,I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted.While we were talking,the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before,handed her a photo,leaned in and quietly said,"I matched the color of your eyes in the picture."As he walked away,my sister happily said to me and Ted,"Look!He fixed my eye！" The photographer stopped.He turned around and walked back to our table.He put his hand on Diana's shoulder,leaned in again and gently said,"Just to be clear：I didn't fix your eye.There isn't anything wrong with your eye.I simply matched the color."Her eyes filled up with tears.It was very healing for her heart to hear these beautiful words.It didn't take much time but made so much difference.It helped her change the way she feels about herself.I have always loved the quote："The world is full of good people.If you can't find one,be one！" Your acts of kindness can impact the world in profound ways!1.My sister bought a contact lens in order to ______ .A. keep the pupil comfortableB. show off the beautiful color of her pupilC. protect her eye from the strong sunlightD. avoid the pupil being too bright and shiny2.Diana felt ______ when she knew there was a photo taken for the dinner.A. excitedB. proudC. regretfulD. shocked3.What's the best title of the passage？______A. A Shiny PupilB. A Considerate PhotographerC. The Act of Kindness CountsD. The Contact Lens Makes a DifferenceBWashing habits have changed over the years.In the 16th century,most people had a bath once a month...if they were lucky.Up until the 1950s,it was once a week.Only just recently has the concept of daily showering become popular.But now,according to the New York Times,things are changing again.The latest trend is known as "soap-dodging". It basically consists of washing less,having fewer showers and using less soap."I just wash my hair once a month now," said Brett Dawson,a32-year-old management consultant."I have just one bath a week," said Miriam Bayliss,a28-year-old accountant.And it appears to be growing in popularity.A poll last year for tissue manufacturer SCA found that 41% of British men and 33% of women don't shower every day.And 12% of people have a proper wash just once or twice a week.Further research by Mintel found that more than half of British teenagers don't wash every day—with many opting for a quick spray of deodorant（除臭剂）to mask any smell.But why？There are a variety of reasons.Some claim that daily hair-washing is mentator Matthew admitted that he hadn't shampooed his hair for a decade.Others say they just don't have the time.In 2008，the chemist Boots reported a 45% rise in sales of dry shampoo—a product that can be sprayed on hair between showers.And some people want to help the environment."I limit my showers to about twice a week," said Nigel Hamerstone,a 42-year-old architect."The rest of the time I have a sink wash." he adds,"I believe that I'm as clean as everyone else,and it's helped get my water consumption down to around 20 litres a day—well below the 100 to 150 average in the UK."So,will you be joining the new "washing revolution"？4.Before the 1950s,how often did people have a bath？______A. Never.B. Every day.C. Frequently.D. Once in a while.5.What does "It" refer to in Paragraph 2？______A. Soap-dodging.B. Taking a shower.C. Washing hair.D. The washing habit.6.Why does Nigel Hamerstone limit his showers to twice a week？______A. To save his time.B. To avoid the trouble.C. To save water resources.D. To cut the cost of living.CWhat is technology doing to language？Many assume the answer is simple：ruining it.Kids can no longer write except in text-speak.Grammar is going to the dogs.The ability to compose thoughts longer than a post is nguage experts tend to resist it,noting that there is little proof that speech is really degenerating，nor is formal writing falling apart.A study by Cambridge Assessment found almost no evidence for text-speak in students' writing. Fortunately,the story of language and the Internet has attracted more serious analysts,too.Now Gretchen McCulloch,a journalist of the generation that grew up with the Internet,joins them with a new book,Because Internet,which focuses on what can be learned about language from the Internet.Biologists grow bacteria in a Petri dish partly because they are born and reproduce so quickly that studies over many generations can be done in a reasonably shortperiod.Studying language online is a bit like that：trends appear and disappear,platforms rise and fall,and these let linguists（语言学家）observe changes that would otherwise take too much time.For example,why do languages change？A thousand years ago,early English and Icelandic were closely related.English has since developed hugely,and Icelandic far less.Linguists have studied the relative effects of strong and weak ties（friends,family）in such patterns,concluding that small communities would host more stable languages.The Internet combines strong and weak ties—and sure enough,drives more language change.In the end,Ms McCulloch's book is about the birth of a new medium rather than a new language.Mass reading has now been joined by mass writing：frequent,error-filled and quick-fading.Little surprise that Internet users have created tools to give their writing the gesture,playfulness and even meaninglessness of chat.Mistaking it for the downfall of "real"writing is a category error.Anything that helps people enjoy each other's company can only be a good thing.7.What does the underlined word "degenerating" in Paragraph 1 refer to？______A. Strengthening.B. Worsening.C. Changing.D. Refreshing.8.Why are bacteria in a Petri dish mentioned in Paragraph 2？______A. To explain bacteria have a short lifetime.B. To stress the difficulty of researching language online.C. To reveal the relation between language and the Internet.D. To show online language can be studied in limited time.9.What contributes to the fast development of English？______A. A large English-speaking population.B. The lasting effect of mass media.C. A stable language-using community.D. The wide application of the Internet.10.What's the author's attitude to online language？______A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Objective.D. Cautious.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）A Diet Without Enough Protein Can Cause Depression Depression is a condition so common.(1) The World Health Organization（WHO）calls it "a leading cause of disability".Difficulty in falling asleep,loss of appetite,and loss of ability to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression.While life events such as the loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression,many cases come from within,such as people's diet.As is reported,both before and during a happening of depression,those with the condition show a "poor appetite". (2) On the other hand,depression may be closely related to protein.Many cases of depression happen to those who don't eat properly,which then results in lack of protein taken into the body.(3) It all comes down to amino acids（氨基酸）.Proteins are made up of amino acids.Both the human brain and nervous system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another.With them communication between the cells becomes possible.(4) But eight of them,the "essential" ones for communication between the brain cells,must beeaten in one's diet.So a diet which is lacking in protein lessens the signal being sent from one brain cell to the next during a thought.The process can lead to twisted signals,which can not only lead to depression,but also aggression. (5)A.It happens with aggression.B.It may lead to serious effects.C.But how lack of protein occurs？D.There are 20 different amino acids.E.But what does protein have to do with depression？F.The poor appetite itself can create a depressed mood.G.This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.11.

Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call "first night effect". They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms（节奏）of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can't relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime."At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis," US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. "If something unusual happens—if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert（警醒的）."More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution, and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect", researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.（1）What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A.A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B.Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C.Brain activities affected people's sleep in a new environment.D.The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.（2）What was found out about the volunteers?A.Their left brains were more active on the first night.B.Their right brains became more active as days went by.C.Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D.They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.（3）What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?A.The bad sleep experiences people have had.B.The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.C.The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D.The strangeness of the things that people come across.（4）What do the researchers think of "first night effect"?A.It has evolved as a way to protect us.B.It's a characteristic that animals don't have.C.It's completely different from the way animals sleep.D.It helps people get used to new environments quickly.3.The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say "sunshine". I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C（维生素C）, thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened（蔓上成熟的）promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.（1）What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A.Exciting.B.Boring.C.Relaxing.D.Annoying.（2）What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?A.Having a swim.B.Breathing in fresh air.C.Walking in the morning sun.D.Visiting a local farmers' market.（3）What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A.They are soft.B.They look nice.C.They taste great.D.They are juicy.（4）What was the author going to do that evening?A.Go to a farm.B.Check into a hotel.C.Eat in a restaurant.D.Buy fresh vegetables.4. The comebackFausto Ruiz got off the boat at the port of the city where he was born fifty years ago, and to which he had been away for twenty years. There were lots of new buildings up on the hills around the city now, buildings which he didn’t recognize. Yet many of the old buildings were exactly the same, although many of the old shops were there no more.He walked up the main road and saw that there was still one small cafè there which was the same as it had been. Walking into the cafè, he recognized the owner behind the bar as well as the waiter working there. They both looked much, much older. Fausto felt certain that he didn’t look as old as they did, even though they were all twenty years older now.Fausto sat at a table and waited. He raised his arm and shouted to the waiter, then to the owner behind the bar, but it was useless. They didn’t come and ask him what he wanted. They were ignoring him.Angry, Fausto got up and walked out of the cafè. Such ignorant people, he thought. Now I remember why I left this town twenty years ago, and why I never came back.He walked along the main street as far as the main square in the town, and when he arrived there he remembered the other reason why he had never come back. In the main square there was the theatre. He had a terrible memory of what happened there twenty years ago.Twenty years ago, Fausto Ruiz was the most famous singer in the world. He had sung in all of the most famous opera houses in the world. Everywhere he went, people paid large sums of money for tickets. When they saw him sing they clapped and applauded and cheered. When he was at the height of his fame, Fausto decided to come back and held a concert in the theatre.The concert was announced, and all the tickets sold out within a few hours. Thousands of people crowded into the theatre to see the legendary Fausto Ruiz sing in the theatre.There was silence as Fausto walked onto the stage. Then he began to sing, one of his best known songs. And at the end of the song, there was just silence. Fausto waited, very surprised for a moment, and then started to sing another song. At the end of this song, there was silence for a moment. Then the people began to boo, and to hiss. Fausto tried to cover the noise by singing another song, very loudly this time. But it got worse. The louder he sang, the louder the boos and hisses became. Soon, there was a rain of rotten fruit and vegetables and smelly old shoes falling down. Fausto was extremely angry. He stormed off the stage and out of the theatre. He left his hometown that night, and he said that he would never, ever go back there ever again.Now, he decided to walk into the theatre. As he walked in he saw it was the same man selling tickets in the box office. Fausto said hello to him but the man said nothing and ignored him. “Still the same” thought Fausto. He felt sad, and left the theatre and decided to see the house where he had been born.He walked all the way across the town, expecting to be recognized by people. He saw some men in the park, who were the same age as he was, and he remembered them. They were his friends when he was at school. He walked over to them to say hello, but they, too, ignored him.He was so angry and so disappointed that he began to shout, “I a m the great Fausto Ruiz!!!The greatest singer the world has ever heard!!!” Nobody took any notice of him.When he finally reached his old house, he at least had a pleasant surprise. Outside the house, there was a statue （雕塑）, and it was a statue of himself. “Finally!” thought Fausto, “Somebody has recognized my genius!”Fausto went to have a closer look. There was some writing at the bottom of the statue. “Fausto Ruiz” it said, “Singer”. Fausto was disappointed that it did not say “the greatest singer in the world”, but at least it was a statue. There was some more writing. He looked carefully at it. There was his date of birth, fifty years ago. And then there was something else. It was another date, and it was yesterday. …It was the date of his death.（1）When he returned home twenty years later, Fausto Ruiz really expected________.A.to see the great changes in his hometownB.that the people as old as him could remember who he wasC.that the people could still appreciate his singingD.to tell the people there that he could still recognize them（2）Which of the following directly caused him to leave his hometown?A.His singing in the most famous opera houses in the world.B.Too much admiration for him and his singing.C.What the people did to him in the theater.D.His willingness to be famous all over the whole world.（3）The underlined sentence “Then the people began to boo, and to hiss” shows that the people there________.A.thought highly of him and his singingB.became very excited when hearing him singingC.were ignoring him and his singingD.were extremely disappointed in him and his singing（4）We can say that Fausto Ruiz is________according to the story.A.open-minded and humorousB.ignorant and stupidC.lively and cheerfulD.sensitive and proud二、七选五阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

You can put it under your pillow and look forward to finding some money there in the morning. And then you can watch your new permanent(永恒的）tooth grow in its place.But if a permanent tooth falls out, that's a problem. There isn't another one under the gum（齿龈）that can replace it. Unfortunately, this happens to some older people. And if permanentteeth fall out or need to be pulled, an older person might need dentures.Dentures,known as false teeth, are a set of replacement teeth for any teeth that are missing. There are partial dentures, which take the place of only a few teeth and prevent the others from changing position. If all the teeth are gone, the person would need complete dentures,which replace every tooth in the mouth.Dentures can cause pains at first but take little time to get used to.They also need special care. They should be brushed daily with a special denture brush and cleanser and soaked(浸泡）in denture solution when not in the mouth.Dentures are important for the old because, without teeth, it's hard to smile, talk, and eat properly. But it can be a little weird if you see someone take out his or her dentures. It can also be strange to see someone, like a grandparent, without dentures in because he or she won't have any teeth. Try not to make fun of the person because this could cause hurt feelings.People usually lose their permanent teeth due to periodontal disease (牙周炎），or gum disease, which is caused by bacteria that attack the gums. Diseased gums aren't strong and healthy, so teeth canget loose and fall out. Older people often have many cavities (洞）that have been filled over the years, and these fillings can weaken over time, leading to more tooth problems.24 If one of your baby teeth falls out,you_______A should have a false tooth fixed in its placeB. will gain a permanent tooth in future.C.have to put it under your pillow at onceD. can exchange it for some money25.A person wearing denturesA. will experience unpleasant feelings at the beginningB. will spend a very long time adjusting himself or herself to themC should brush them with a special denture brush every few daysD.should use denture solution to soak them in his or her mouth26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Partial dentures can prevent the remaining teeth from changing position.B.Old people will find it hard to smile, talk, and eat properly without teeth.C.A person's teeth will possibly get loose if diseases strike his gums.D.It is hard for a person to wear dentures if all his teeth have fallen out.27.What does the underlined word "weird" mean in the fifth paragraph?A.inconvenientB.excitedC.strangeD.impoliteCAn American company has built a new drone(无人机）that could improve the speed of deliveries(送交的货）。

In fact, they are exactly the same size.Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? Avase ? Or two faces? Does the picture change quickly from one tothe other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can neversee them at the same time."What's happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?" You may wonder at what you see. Don't worry. Here is how it goes:When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brainsand then our brains interpret the information. However, sometimesour brains interpret the received information in a wrong way.Itseems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it "Visual illusion" (错误).Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions.21.Why does the center circle in Diagram A look smaller than that in Diagram B?A.Something is wrong with our eyes.B.The two circles are not the same size.C. The two pictures change quickly from one to the otherD.Our brains interpret the information in a wrong way.22.What's the right order according to the passage?a.We look at things with our eyes．b.Our brains interpret the messages．c.Our brains tell us what we have seen．d.Our eyes send messages to our brains．A.c a b dB.a d b cC.a c d bD.b c a d23.What do movie makers make use of visual illusions for?A.To make the actors seem different in sizeB.To make the actors much braverC.To help the actors become strongerD.To help the actors look betterBEveryone knows booking all your accommodation with the same hotel chain earns loyalty points, which can be traded for free stays and the occasional bottles of wine. Now a study shows that there could be performance benefits too.People often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings. This is a phenomenon known to psychologists as the “first-night” effect. This is because if a person stays in the same room the following night,he or she tends to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, set out to investigate (调查) the origins of this effect.Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was in what way it can be benefit. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert (警觉的) enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing and feeling tired the next day as a result.To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university's Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored each time with neuroimaging (神经影像) techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Their hart rates, muscle and eye movements were also recorded.Dr. Sasaki found that, as expected, the participants slept worse on their first night in the lab than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants' brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. More specifically, on the first night only, the left brain did not sleep as deeply as the right brain did.Wondering if the left brains indeed remained awake to process informationdetected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (哗哗声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left brain stayed alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the random beeps by working people up and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.Based upon these feelings, Dr. Sasaki argues in Current Biology that the first-night effect is a mechanism that has evolved to function as something of a neurological (神经学的) night watchman to wake people up when they hear noises when sleeping in a unfamiliar environment.24.What puzzled the researchers about the first-night effect?A. What role it has played in evolution.B. What benefit can be gained from it.C. To what extent it can trouble people.D. What relationship between it an circumstances.25.When doing the new research, Dr. Yuka Sasaki ________?A. conducted studies on young and old peopleB. got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphinsC. found birds and dolphins had nearly the same sleeping patternsD. found half of bird’s and dolphins’ brains remain awake while asleep26.What did Dr. Sasaki do when she re-ran the experiment?A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B. She recorded participants' adaptation to changed environment.C. She exposed her participants to two different kinds of noises.D. She compared the responses of male and female participants.27.What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?A. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.B. They tended to regard irregular beeps as a threat.C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.D. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.CThe freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say " sunshine". I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C (维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afte rnoon) filled the weekend, but the best part―particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables―was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawgcoffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken vine-ripened (蔓上成熟的) promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened r estaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where―luckily for me―I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.28. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.29. What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmers' market.30. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They look nice.B. They are soft.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.31. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Go to a farm.B. Check into a hotel.C. Eat in a restaurant.D. Buy fresh vegetables.DThe comebackFausto Ruiz got off the boat at the port of the city where he had been born fifty years ago, and to which he had not returned for twenty years. There were lots of new buildings up on the hills around the city now, buildings which he didn’t recognize. Yet many of the old buildings along the sea were exactly the same, although many of the old shops he remembered were there no more.He walked up the main road and saw that there was still one small café there which was the same as it had been. Walking into the café, he recognized the owner behind the bar as well as the waiter who was working there. They both looked much, much older. Fausto felt certain that he didn’t look as old as they did, even though they were all twenty years older now.Fausto sat at a table and waited. He raised his arm and shouted to the waiter, then to the owner behind the bar, but it was useless. They didn’t come and ask him what he wanted. They were ignoring him.Angry, Fausto got up and walked out of the café. Such ignorant people, he thought. Now I remember why I left this town twenty years ago, and why I nevercame back.He walked along the main street as far as the main square in the town, and when he arrived there he remembered the other reason why he had never come back. In the main square there was the theatre. He had a terrible memory of what happened there twenty years ago.Twenty years ago, Fausto Ruiz was the most famous singer in the world. He had sung in all of the most famous opera houses in the world. Everywhere he went, people paid large sums of money for tickets. When they saw him sing they clapped and applauded and cheered. When he was at the height of his fame, Fausto decided to come back held a concert in the theatre.The concert was announced, and all the tickets sold out within a few hours. Thousands of people crowded into the theatre to see the legendary Fausto Ruiz sing in the theatre.There was silence as Fausto walked onto the stage. Then he began to sing, one of his best known songs. And at the end of the song, there was just silence. Fausto waited, very surprised for a moment, and then started to sing another song. At the end of this song, there was silence for a moment. Then the people began to boo, and to hiss. Fausto tried to cover the noise by singing another song, very loudly this time. But it got worse. The louder he sang, the louder the boos and hisses became. Soon, there was a rain of rotten fruit and vegetables and smelly old shoes falling down. Fausto was extremely angry. He stormed off the stage and out of the theatre. He left his hometown that night, and he saidthat he would never, ever go back there ever again.Now, he decided to walk into the theatre. As he walked in he saw it was the same man selling tickets in the box office. Fausto said hello to him but the man said nothing and ignored him. “Still the same” thought Fausto. He felt sad, and left the theatre and decided to see the house where he had been born.He walked all the way across the town, expecting to be recognized by people. He saw some men in the park, who were the same age as he was, and he remembered them. They were his friends when he was at school. He walked over to them to say hello, hut they, too, ignored him.He was so angry and so disappointed that he began to shout, “I am the great Fausto Ruiz!!! The greatest singer the world has ever heard!!!” nobody took any notice of him.When he finally reached his old house, he at least had a pleasant surprise. Outside the house, there was a statue (雕塑), and it was a statue of himself. “Finally!” thought Fausto, “Somebody has recognized my genius!”Fausto went to have a closer look. There was some writing at the bottom of the statue. “Fausto Ruiz” it said, “Singer”. Fausto was disappointed that it did not say “the greatest singer in the world”, but at least it was a statue. There was some more writing. He looked carefully at it. There was his date of birth, fifty years ago. And then there was something else. It was another date, and the date was yesterday. …It was the date of his death.32. When he returned home twenty years later, Fausto Ruiz reallyexpected________.A. to see the great changes in his hometownB. that the people as old as him could remember who he wasC. that the people could still appreciate his singingD. to tell people there that he could still recognize them33. Which of the following directly caused him to leave his hometown?A. His singing in the most famous opera houses in the world.B. Too much admiration for him and his singing.C. What the people did to him in the theater.D. His willingness to be famous all over the whole world.34.The underlined sentence “Then the people began to boo, and to hiss” shows that the people there ________.A. thought highly of him and his singingB. became very excited when hearing him singingC. were ignoring him and singingD. were extremely disappointed in him and his singing35. We can say that Fausto Ruiz is ______ according to the story.A. open-minded and humorousB. ignorant and stupidC. lively and cheerfulD. sensitive and proud第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academic growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride andself-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.12．What can we learn about education with music classes?A．It allows schools to make more money.B．It can cause a lot of academic problems.C．It will affect the world cultural communication greatly.D．It does good to students’ academic success and spiritual health.13．What do the two studies seem to show?A．Students with great success attend music lessons.B．Music classes play an important role in students’ academic performance.C．Not all students could have music classes at school.D．Students who have music classes do better in all subjects.14．What does the example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggest?A．Japan has a good relationship with America.B．Different cultures have different styles of music.C．Music makes cross-cultural communication possible.D．Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano.15．What is the best title for the text?A．The Importance of Music Classes in School B．Music—A Bridge to UnderstandingC．Studies on Music Education D．How to Get Music BackBody language mistakes you should avoid at workCommunication is not only about words but also gestures. Therefore, you should be careful about how you use your body when expressing yourself.Avoiding eye contact (接触)When speaking with a workmate, avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional (不专业的). 16 Therefore, you should always keep eye contact especially when you are making a point.Crossing your armsCrossing your arms shows that you are not open to others and that you want to defend (防御) yourself. 17 In order to give others a warm feeling, just keep your arms open.Checking the timeChecking the time every few minutes makes people feel you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else. 18 Therefore, when you are speaking to your workmates, try not to look at the clock very often.Bad body postureHaving a bad posture such as dropped shoulders or a lower neck can mean that you are not interested in what is going on around you. 19 Also, keep your head high.Weak handshakeA weak handshake means that you don′t care much about the person you are shaking hands with. Try to greet the people with a firm (有力的) handshake. However, don′t forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite. 20A．Therefore, try to find the right balance.B．Nod your head to show that you are listening.C．It looks like you are not interested in being there.D．This shows that you have confidence in yourself.E．This is generally considered as a position of defence.F．It is important to stand or sit up straight when speaking to somebody.G．It also shows that you are not confident or show no interest in the topic.二、完形填空Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself.

Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children’s needs. Authoritarian parents, on the c ontrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more vi olent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didn’t seem tomake much of a difference either.To explain the link between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents’ power is. This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don’t always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self-control and independence.“When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do wha t their parents tell them to do,” said lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This is very important as the parent doesn’t have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”4．Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.

A．their parents listen to them totallyB．they believe in and accept their parentsC．their parents are sensitive to their needsD．their parents demand and control their behaviorsA breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us - the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals (哺乳动物) have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules(分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen-a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however-there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” Johnson explai ned.The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell. 8．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B．People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C．It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D．It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin.9．One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is .A．carrying oxygen around the body B．improving athletes’ performance C．detecting oxygen D．increasing level of oxygen10．What does the underlined word “circulating” in paragraph 8 most probably mean? A．balancing B．growing C．moving D．gathering 11．What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training? A．Negative B．Doubting C．Positive D．HesitatingHumans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.Time is not very important in nonindustrial (非工业的) societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule (时间表) based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of “sleeps” or longer periods in terms of “moons”. Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of “telling time”. For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.In contrast (成对比), exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies.This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste), for example, all ofthe workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated (复杂的) societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.12．By saying “Humans are social animals”, the author means .A．they live all over the worldB．They are all connected in one societyC．they live in their own groups as a wholeD．they are divided into many groups13．Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people in those societies . A．don’t have the word TIME in their languagesB．don’t get used to using clocks and other timepiecesC．don’t measure time in their daily-lives around an exact time scheduleD．don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule14．The Australian aborigines’ way of “telling time” is based on .A．the change of the angle of the sun B．the way sunlight was reflectedC．the position of the stone D．the position of the tree or the cliff 15．Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A．Time and Culture B．The Measurement of TimeC．Time Schedule and Daily Life D．Clock, Calendar and Society二、七选五Is Dieting OK for Kids?You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they are going on a diet. You might wonder if you should be on a diet, too.16．Why? Let’s find out.Dieting to Lose Weight17．When someone diets to lose weight, the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses. By doing this, the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight. Similarly, if a person eats more calories than the body uses, the person may gain weight.Kids usually do not need to diet in this way.18．During this time, kids need many kindsof healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly. Some kids are overweight, but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active.19．But kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic( 极端的), like skipping meals or deciding to eat only vegetables.Who Needs to Diet?Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little, there is no perfect body shape. Some people have bigger bones and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller bones.20．Your doctor can examine you and check your body mass index (身体质量指数). That’s a way of estimating how much body fat you have. If the doctor is concerned about your weight, he or she can recommend a couple of goals.For some kids, the doctor may recommend losing some weight, but this should be done with the doctor’s help. Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients.A．It is important to form a good eating habit.B．Being overweight can cause health problems.C．Not eating properly can be very harmful to kids.D．Unlike adults, kids are still growing and developing.E.Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight.F.All foods and many drinks contain calories, a kind of energy.G.However, most of kids do not need to and should not diet this way.三、完形填空I took my 10-year-old daughter to the Hollywood sign last week.On clear days,we can see it from our house,and we've always talked about hiking there.We've gotten better at these sorts of 21 .

The image (画像) hasn't changed much since the 1960s, but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids? drawings in recent decades — going from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.The first of many “ draw-a-scientist ’’ studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977. Of those 5,000 drawings, only 28 drew female scientists. That was just 0.56 percent. Today, female scientists are being presented more in the media. For example, in a content analysis, 13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls, compared with 44 percent in the 2000s. “That might really affect children’s idea on what a scientist should be like, ” says Miller, a Ph. D. candidate in psychology.To look for changes in children'sperceptionover time, the researchers conducted a meta-analysis ,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.On average, 28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.What hasn’t changed much: kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念）by gender (性别）as they grow up. At age 6, about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studiesdrew female scientists. By age 16, 75 percent drew male scientists. This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes. It’s important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.4. What’s the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s, kid like?A. A man with long curly hair.B. A woman with lab glasses.C. A woman in a formal lab suit.D. A man in a color1 ed lab coat.5.

The increasing number of female scientists.6. What does the underlined word “ perception” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Belief.B. Idea.C. Habit.D. Growth.7. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. it's a stereotype that scientists are generally malesB. girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boysC. some children are born with certain stereotypesD. most children tend to prefer female scientistsCMusic is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker fromTexas, music has always been a totally different experience.“When I was a kid, I’d lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations (震动，颤动) from my brother’s band rocking out below my body, ” the 33-year-old man said. “That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music.”In 2016, his ability to experience music changed dramatically, thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs. It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “feel” music through their skin. Consisting of a body harness (背带), ankle and wrist belts, the suit translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points.Burtonhas been trialing the suit for four years.“The sound hits different parts of your body, ” saidBurton. “Maybe it will strikeme down in my ankles first. And then I’ll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations in my wrist.”The creators want to extends the tactile (触觉) musical experience beyond the deaf community. In 2018, they gave out 150 of the suits at a rock concert inLas Vegaswhere half the audience members were deaf and half were able to hear.Since then, Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says it’s ready to go to market soon. Eventually, the creators want the suit to become a consumer product, accessible to all. The company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, said that the technology could be used in live sports broadcasts, video games and theme parks.As a writer and director who’s been working to make the movie world more accessible,Burtonhopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future. He believes the suit canenhanceemotions while watching a movie – for hearing as well as deaf people. “I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music for movies doesn’t always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.8. Why would Chase Burton lie on the floor when he was a kid?A. To feel some pulsations in his wrist.B. To feel the vibrations from his brother’s band.C. To expand the tactile musical experience.D. To begin building a bond with films.9. What do we know about Not Impossible Labs from the passage?A. It was started by Chase Burton in 2016.B. Its products have been used in live sports broadcasts.C. It is a technology company based inCalifornia.D. Its administrative director is Jordan Richardson.10. Which can replace the underlined word “enhance” in the last paragraph?A. createB. expressC. coverD. strengthen11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Vibrating Suit Allows Deaf People to “Feel” MusicB. Tech Company Provides Free Suits for Deaf PeopleC. Deaf People Enjoy Rock Music with Free SuitD. Movies Need to Be Enjoyed Through the EarsDUK physicist Isaac Newton once said, ''Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子). '' Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel andlash out at us.The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主). It's believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organizationEcoHealth Alliance, said, ''This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human population density, wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病). ''In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it's time for people to ''reflect on our relationship with our planet'' and ''reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given''. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, ''Nature is not the place to visit. It's our home. ''12. What does the phrase ''lash out at'' in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. punishB. controlC. testD. challenge13. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.B. It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.D. Humans should live peacefully with nature.14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. How human beings become their own masters.B. How human activities cause global warming.C. How human beings break the balance of nature.D. How humans use technology to improve their lives.15. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak.B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.C. To describe experts' predictions on new pandemics.D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年南京市中华中学高三英语月考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Internet can provide a wealth of educational resources for small children, if you know where to look.Enchanted LearningEnchanted learning is a great website for children, and I know several teachers who rely on it for materials for their classrooms. Most of the information is free, but for $ 20.00 per year, you can purchase a membership that allows you to have access to the site without the advertising. The pages here are great. There are color1 ed pages and worksheets for toddlers (学步儿童) and school-age children.StarfallStarfall is another good educational website for small children. Teachers often use this website in classrooms. It emphasizes reading skills for early learners. The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners, but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade. The website has reading activities, worksheets to download, and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.Sesame Street WorkshopKids loveSesame Street, and it is always educational. This is one of the funniest websites online for children because it is very well animated and has great sound effects. The website has games and stories for small kids, and they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters.1. Why does Enchanted Learning offer purchasing memberships?A. Charging for the information.B. Charging for downloading materials.C. Giving access to the site without the ads.D. Providing unlimited search for more pages.2. Where can you buy educational materials for your children?A. Enchanted LearningB. StarfallC. Sesame Street WorkshopD. Colored pages3. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce.B. To discuss.C. To persuade.D. To educate.BIf you travel inAthens, against popular belief, I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday. As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city, there are several reasons why you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins, and who wants to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.? On top of that, the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthensless important in comparison, so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.We got to the southeast gate at 7：30, half an hour before it opened at 8. When the gate opened, we rushed to the hill. Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes. In this age of overtourism, getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill, and it’s made up of several buildings. There’s theTempleofAthena Nike, the Parthenon, the Old Temple of Athena, the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion... and on your way down, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Something that sounds boring but isn’t is theAcropolisMuseum, and I recommend spending a couple of hours there. As someone who is a museum-avoider, I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been, and made myself go inside. And I loved it. The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis, and it was interesting to check them out.Head toSyntagma Squarenext to watch the changing of the guard. This takes place every hour on the hour, so try to time your visit perfectly. The guards wear fun clothes and make for interesting photos.4. The author suggests visiting the Acropolis on the second day so that ___________.A. it can save visitors a lot of timeB. it can save visitors from getting up earlyC. it can make for a better travel experienceD. it can give visitors a better understanding ofAthens5. How did the author feel when he ran to the top of the hill?A. Bored.B. Worried.C. Relaxed.D. Amazed.6. With what may the author agree about theAcropolisMuseum?A. It is so great that it should be visited last.B. It is enjoyable and worth visiting.C. It wastes a lot of time.D. It should be avoided.7. What is the purpose of the text?A. To provide some advice on visiting the Acropolis.B. To introduce the history of the Acropolis.C. To call on people to protect historic sites.D. To encourage people to travel around.CConducting interviews for news stories is an important skill for any journalist. To start, do as much research as you can and prepare a list of questions to ask. Once the interview starts, try to develop a rapport(融洽的关系) with your "source"—anyone a journalist interviews, but don't waste your time. If your source starts to talk about things that are clearly of no use to you, don't be afraid to gently but firmly turn the conversationback to the topic at hand.It's an old debate among journalists: Which works better when interviewing a source, taking notes (the old-fashioned way) or using a cassette or digital voice recorder? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. A reporter's notebook and a pen or pencil are the easy-to-use, time-honored tools of the interviewing trade, while recorders enable you to get everything someone says word for word. Which works better? It depends on what kind of story you're doing.Many beginning reporters complain that with a notepad and pen, they can never take down everything a source says in an interview. But you don't have to note everything down. Keep in mind that you're probably not going to use everything they say in your story. So don't worry if youlet slipa few things.So you've done a long interview with a source, you have pages of notes, and you're ready to write. But chances are you'll only be able to choose a few quotes from that information collected directly from the source. Which ones should you use? Reporters often talk about using only "good" quotes for their stories, but what does this mean? Broadly speaking, when someone says something interesting, and says it in an interesting way, that can make a good quote.8. What is a journalist advised to do during an interview?A. Be gentle with the source.B. Carry on a long conversation.C. Make the conversation interesting.D. Prevent the conversation being off-topic.9. What do the underlined words "let slip" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. give awayB. leave outC. get rid ofD. take up10. What is considered as a good quote for a reporter?A. A direct quote.B. An important point of view.C. A piece of basic information.D. Something funny a source says interestingly.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The job of a journalist.B. The process of interviewing.C Some facts about interviewing. D. The relationship between a journalist and a source.DThe Great Barrier Reef's outlook remains “very poor” despite coral (珊瑚) recovery over the past year, Australian government scientistssaid Monday, just days before a UNESCO ruling on the site's world heritage (遗产) status.The United Nations cultural agency recommended last month that the world's largest reef (珊瑚礁) system be placed on its endangered list because of damage to the corals largely caused by climate change.The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) said the corals were now in a “recovery window” after a decade of harmful heat stress and cyclones (旋风). But such opportunities were becoming rarer due to the influence ofclimate change, the government agency, which has monitored the reef for 35 years, said in its annual report released today. “The increasing emergence of climate-related extreme weather events and starfish outbreaks is causing more severe and frequent pressures, giving the reef fewer opportunities like this to recover,”CEO Paul Hardisty said. The scientists surveyed 127 reef sites in 2021 and found hard coral cover had increased at 69 of the 81 locations surveyed in the past two years.Separate scientific research released last October found the 2, 300-kilometre (1, 400 miles) system had lost half its corals since 1995, with a series of ocean heatwaves causing mass coral death.Britta Schaffelke, research program director at AIMS, said the latest findings provided a slight hope that the reef still has the power of recovering. But she added that its future is still very poor because of the dangers of climate change and other factors that are affecting the reef.UNESCO has urged Australia to take urgent climate action but the government has long resisted calls to commit to net zero emissions (排放) by 2050. The government has said it hopes to meet the target “as soon as possible” without harming its economy, insisting dealing with climate change requires a global effort. The reef was worth about US $4. 8 billion a year in tourism for the Australian economy and there are fears that an “in danger” listing could weaken its tourist appeal.12. What is the major cause of the damage to the corals?A. The climate change.B. Lack of money.C. Over development.D. Too many tourists.13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The result of the survey.B. The efforts AIMS has made.C. The slight chance of the recovery.D. The terrible situation of the climate.14. What is Britta Schaffelke's attitude towards the future of the reef?A. Unclear.B. Positive.C Intolerant. D. Anxious.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Australia wants to put the reef on the endangered list.B. The Australian government has ignored UNESCO's demand.C. Australia hopes to keep a balance between emission target and its economy.D. The Australian government refuses to take its share of responsibility of climate change.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
