He was caught in a trap(陷阱）.“Please,”said lion, “let me down. I’ve been up for three days and I think I’m hungry and thirsty to death.”“Jow silly you think we are?’ said Mr. Warthog. “ If you are down, you will eat us!”“I promise I won’t !” pleased Lion. “I am so weak for food,so I am as harmless as a small cat.”So the warthogs undid the trapand set the lion free.“Thank you so much,” said Lin. “Dear Mr. Warthog, sweet Mrs. Warthog and lovely, delicious,good-enough-to-eat Baby Warthog, Iam so grateful, I could just gobble y ou up!”Mr. Warthog didn’t like the sound of that. She didn’t like the way lion was looking at Baby Warthog and licking his lips either.“Like this?” said Mrs. Warthog, and she pulled hard so that the rope went tight and Lion was once again hanging upside down from the treee.“What did you do that for?” said Lion.“My family and I set you free,”said Mrs. Warthog. “ and you were ging to thank us by eating Baby Warthog here! What an ungrateful guy you are!”The Warthogs turned their backs and walked away with their noses in the air.Lion hung upside down like that for another three days until Grass Mouse came by.“Excuse me,” said Lion, who was now so weak for lack of food that his voice was just a whisper. “Would you please be kind enough to help me down? I promise I won’t hurt you.Grass Mouse’s mother told him to stay away from lions, but she had also said that he should always help other animals in trouble. Grass Mouse climbed up the tree and with his sharp front teeth he gnawed through the rope that was holding lion.“Thank you so much,” said the Lion when he was back on solid ground.Lion wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice, so instead of thinking about eating Grass Mouse, he promised to help him whenever he is in trouble.26. .

I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.Mr. Healthcliff is my only neighbor, and I think his characteris like mine. He does not like people either.When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant (仆人). He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Healthcliff hardly received guests.His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house on a hill”, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent bu the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunfately, the house is strongly built, and is not damageed even by the worst winter storms.Mr. Healthcliff and I entered the main room. We sat down by the fire, in scilence.“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Healthcliff. No answer came from the cellar, so he rushed down there, leaving me with several fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.“Help! Mr. Healthcliff! Help!”I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman ,who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.“What is the matter?” Mr. Healthcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man -servant.“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “ You should leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel angry after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again,but I shall go anyway. He seems a facinating man.31.What did Joseph mean when he said “ God help us! A visitor!”A. He was very surprised to have avisitor.B. He thought Mr. Lockwood was a new servant.C. He had waited for Mr. Lockwood for a long time.D. He was happy to make friends with Mr. Lockwood.32.Why was the house called “Wuthering Heights?”A. The weather is windy all the year round near the house.B. It is protected well by trees around it.C.

The wind.D.The name.35.What is the writer’s impression of Mr. Healthcliff?A.He was rich but foolish.B. He was rude but interesting.C.He was handsome but boring.D.He was strange but friendly.（C）Some people might think that online privacy（隐私）is a ,well, private matter. If you don’t want your information getting out online, don’t put it on social media. Simple, right?But keeping your information private isn’t just about your own choices. It’s about your friends’ choices, too. Results from a study show that, with the development of all kinds of social media,people may need to stop and think about just how much they control their personal information, and where the boundaries of their privacy are.When someone joins a social network, the first order of business is, of course, to find friends. To help the users to find their friends, many apps offer to import contact list(导入联系人清单）from someone’s phone or e-mail or Facebook, to find matches with people already in the network.“sharing those contact lists seems harmless,” says David Garcia, a computational social scientist at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna in Austria. “People giving contact lists, they’re not doing anything wrong.” he says. “You are their friend. You give them the e-mail address and phone number.” most of the time, you probably want to stay in touch with the person, possibly even via the social media site.But the social network then has that information-- whether or not the owner of it wants it to be shared.Social platforms’ability to collect information into what are called shadow profiles first came to light with a Facebook bug in 2013. The bug accidentally shared the e-mail addresses and phone numbers of some 6 billion users with all of their friends, even when the information was public.Facebook immediately corrected the mistakes. But later, some users noticed that the phone numbers on their Facebook profiles had still been filled in--- even though they had not given Facebook their digits. Instead, Facebook had collected the numbers from the contact lists innocently provided by their friends, and filled in the missing information for them. A shadow profile had become reality.It’s no surprise that a social platform could take names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers and match them up with other people on the same platform. But Garcia wondered if these shadow profiles could be extended to people not on the social platform at all.He turned to a social network called Friendster which was closed up in 2015. Friendster was launched in 2002. In2008, the social site attracted more than 115 million users. But by 2009 people began to jump ship for other sites, and finally Friendster closed for good. However, by using the Internet Archive-- a nonprofit library, Garcia still found lots of users’ information about Friendster.“ You are not in full control of your privacy,”he concludes. If your friend is on a social platform, so are you. And you don’t have a choice in the matter. Garcia published his findings August 4 in Science Advance.36.

5，he cooked his first dish．Taking it for his school lunch，he warmed it up in the school's microwave，while the other kids ate their sandwiches．"I love to eat，and it started to become more fun to cook than to use a microwave，"he said．Cooking came easy to Kenny，and he enjoyed adding new ingredients （作料）into common dishes．"It started with a strong interest and I wanted to know more，"he said．He began

short to spend your time avoiding failure．In 1981，at the age of 39，I lost my job．The next day I took a big risk and began my own company．In 2001，when I was debating whether to run for mayor，most people advised me not to do it．But one person said，"If you can imagine yourself giving a concession （败选）speech，then why not go for it？"That was the best advice I received，and I followed it．In order to

computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future youwon't have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．The eye﹣recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．Eye﹣recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜），which includes the following steps．First，a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one's iris from his eyes and store them．Second，when this person goes to the bank to take out money，this machine will have iris feature extraction（采集）．Then，this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction．Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same，this person will be identified，and he will take out the money from the bank successfully．However，scientists are also working on other systems．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．Eye﹣recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，and don't get dirty like hands or fingers，and even twins have different eyes．So the eye﹣recognition program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．However，some other programs may only be 51% correct now．In Britain，it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea ofeye﹣recognition．In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye．So smile!41．The program has been tested in shops and banks in ．A．America and ChinaB．Spain and JapanC．Britain and TurkeyD．Italy and German42．According to the steps in

of eye recognition．C．Everyone's eyes are different，even twins have different eyes．D．Some other programs used to be 51% correct．第二节阅读填空（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．46．March

Glancing up, he saw a large wasp nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can became more likely to sting in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, 精品文档who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike, trying to call the mini-bus centre, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock. Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.26.It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when_______.A. there are huge noisesB. strangers are getting very nearC. the air is filled with food smellD. the hottest season comes around27. Allen didn't know that if stung by wasps again, he would___________.A. have no after-effectsB. suffer from sharper painC. lose his lifeD. became much weaker28. Allen failed at the first time when he tried to send his message to the mini-buscenter because__________.A. he was unable to speak clearlyB. his radio equipment was poorC. he was in a state of shockD. no one was on duty29. Which of the following is NOT true according the story?A. Allen drove to the fire station because he knew there was a rescue team there.B. Allen managed to make his request of help clear though he had difficultytalking by then.C. The mini-bus centre did help in that they got the rescue team ready before 精品文档Allen arrived.D. Allen shouldn’t have looked at the wasps when he helped Mrs. Care y.30. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Allen, a Helpless DriverB. Wasps, Bloody KillersC. A Race against DeathD. War against WaspsB"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic,” say scientists. The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters’ PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by sea water. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disasters such as asteroid impacts．”However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing-because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”31. The ocean is becoming more acidic due to___________.A. the lower water PH valueB. the warming atmosphereC. the higher level of CO2 in the airD. the increasing use of oil fuels32. According to Dr Caldeira,__________ .精品文档A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thingB. more oil fuels will be used in the near futureC. scientists may predict climate changes with computer modelsD. the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious33. If the water's acidity level keeps rising,_________ .A. ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affectedB. the waters’ PH value will become higher and higherC. organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changesD. some disasters will occur more often than before34. What does the underlined word “acidic” probably mean?A. 污染的B. 酸的C. 复杂的D. 温暖的35. The purpose of this passage is to_________ .A. show people the findings of a research teamB. inform people of how acid the ocean is nowC. introduce Dr Caldeira and his team's researchD. warn people of the higher acidity level in the seaCJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J. C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down the stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”精品文档Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”36. Owens got his other name when __________.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J.

ButMilannow wants to change it.The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 - a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a smallisland of greenery in the heart ofMilan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees, Boeri said.Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the greenMilanproject will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show thatMilanexperiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to theAlps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. "Planting trees will help this," Di said.TheVerticalForesthas attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers.TheVerticalForest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year.

First, the most important task in high school and college is both studying. Studying is the most important as a student. Second, we need a goal to fight for in both high school life and college life. To lead a meaningful life, we have to set up a goal to achieve.For another, there are also some differences between high school life and college life. First, our studying is also the biggest difference. In high school, we are required to follow our teachers' steps and finish theirassignmentsevery day. While in college, there are no teachers giving such detailed requirements to us and we can choose study or not according to our own willing. What and how to study totally depends on us. Therefore,the ability of self-control is very important in college life. Second, the flexibility (灵活性) of time is another difference. In high school, we have no much leisure except for our time of study. However, in college, we have much controlled by ourselves except the time of classes. And we have more time to do what we like. Finally, college lifeis much more various and richer. Besides study, we can attend many other activities, which make our college life more wonderful.In brief, there are both similarities and differences between high school life and college life. However, no matter we are in which period, we need to make full use of every day so that we will never feel regretful.8. Why do students need a goal to fight in high school and college?A. To enter a good college.B. To avoid living a meaningless life.C. To develop the ability of control.D. To meet their parents’ satisfaction.9. What does the underlined word “assignments” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Projects.B. Tasks.C. Goals.D. Dreams.10. Which is the correct structure of the passage?A. ①-②③-④B. ①②-③-④C. ①-②③④D.①②-③④11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. College LifeB. High School LifeC. High School and CollegeD. High School Life and College LifeDNot long after the first fitness magazine was published, a list probably followed soon after, ranking the best fitness equipment. This tradition has continued, with the implied message: usethisand exercise willbe yours.And that's part of the problem, says Dr. Lieberman, a professor of Harvard University. There isn't one “best” anything to achieve fitness. Besides, people understand exercise is good for them. Knowledge about exercise still doesn't motivate.Before you can answer why, it helps to look at history. Before the Industrial Revolution, people fetched water and walked up stairs because they had to. But then technology made life and work easier. Exercise has become something that people have to carve out time for. “It's a fundamental instinct to avoid physical activity when it's neither necessary nor rewarding,” he says.It would seem like being healthy would qualify as necessary, but a doctor's prescription to exercise “can make it like taking cod liver oil,” Lieberman says. “Sometimes it works, but more often than not, it doesn't. And it's still coming across as an order, and “not having a heart attack in five years is not an immediate reward,” says Dr. Beth Frates, assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.People might not want to exercise because it's never been enjoyable. Most of us probably have memories of gym class, not being picked for a team, or being in a fitness center that's filled with in-shape people. The majority don't feel excited. They feel that exercise isn't for them, but it can be. Coaching people in an empowering and motivating way can work much better than ordering someone to exercise. It starts with an expanded definition of what counts as exercise, and an injection of what's rarely used to describe exercise, but is certainly allowed: namely, fun.12. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The magazine.B. The tradition.C. The equipment.D. The message.13. What can we infer about technology?A. It improves life quality.B. It saves people's time.C. It drives social progress.D. It makes exercise less likely.14. Why does the author mention “cod liver oil” in paragraph 4?A. To attach importance to health.B. To present a doctor's prescription.C. To explain exercise is considered inessential.D. To introduce the latest medical application.15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Exercise should be made more joyful.B. It's more fun to work out with others.C. We may encounter bad workout experiences.D. Orders work well to motivate people to exercise.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。

2019-2020学年广州市第二中学高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读（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ASome of the world’s most talented musicians have played concerts atLincolnCenter. On September 10, the center hosted a unique class of star musicians: kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert inNew York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were chosen from all over the world.The World Peace Orchestra began in 2013. The nonprofit group brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition online for a group of judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.Some of the young musicians played classical instruments, such as violins and flutes. Others played instruments unique to their home country. For example, Amold Mugo, 16, fromKenya, played an instrument called the djembe. The drum is originally fromWest Africa. Mugo said he was shocked when he learned he was chosen for the orchestra. “I can’t express how I felt. I was rolling on the floor. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.Adomas Hendrixson, 13, fromLithuania, played piano for the WPO. Before theNew York Cityperformance, Hendrixson talked about what he hoped to take away from the event. “Fun and joy-- people smiling and clapping,” he said.“This is one of the only times in your life this could happen and I'm very excited.”Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. “I hope when I go home, I just take a little bit of every friend that I made here-- Brazil, Portugal, Queens,” Mugo said, “I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more.”1. Who is most likely to have played for the WPO according to this passage?A. Li Ming, 16, a student fromChina.B. Daniel, 44, a judge fromAmerica.C. Edward, 21, a clerk fromAustralia.D. Catherine, 32, a teacher fromEngland.2. We can learn from the last paragraph that Mugo ________.A.performed best for the WPO.B. has learned some foreign culture.C. was eager to be chosen for a second time.D. received a great award for his performance.3. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Kids were good at playing music.B. Mugo liked making foreign friends.C. Concerts were played atLincolncentre.D. Young musicians played for peace.BWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise (乐园) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal (地热的) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper (野营车). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance tobe always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times ofhotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.4. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.D. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.5. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was not only practical but also economical.B. It was convenient but cost them more money.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.6. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.B. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.7. What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A travel magazineD. A news reportCIn Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country.Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation(毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about $77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125 kilograms of coffee,an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee plantation(种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be astewardof the land. "I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals," he said.8. Why does WebConserva set up the project?A. To help local farmers make money.B. To expand areas of coffee growing.C. To link processors with coffee growers.D. To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains.9. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over?A. Colombia helped many needy families.B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests.C. Colombia started to save damaged forests.D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.10. Which is probably a function of Barajas's coffee plantation?A. A method of protecting cattle and wildlife.B. A substitute for hunting of wild animals.C. A barrier between man and wild animals.D. A shelter for cattle against human hunters.11. What does the underlined word "steward" mean in the last paragraph?A. Farmer.B. Master.C. Guardian.D. Explorer.DIt was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove fromOntariointoAlberta, then southward intoGlacierNational ParkinMontana, and continued toYellowstoneNational Park.It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him.12. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip?A. It was taken by train to the west.B. It was a suggestion from their friends.C. It was in the late autumn five years ago.D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.13. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture?A. He could have lost the camera.B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there.C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures.14. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?A. Kind and straightforward.B. Rich and generous.C. Creative and capable.D. Careful and admirable.15. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Seeing is believing.C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.D. The longest journey begins with the first step.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。

Always stick to the paths and never go off exploring things that don’t concern you.”S uddenly, a terrible noise came into their ears. “Baby warthogs, I’ve warned you before,”said Mrs Warthogs. “Say parthon whrn you brup!”“That wasn’t me,” said Baby Warhtog. “ It was the lion up there!”Sure enough, a lion was hanging upside down from the tree above them. He was caught in a trap(陷阱）.“Please,”said lion, “let me down. I’ve been up for three days and I think I’m hungry and thirsty to death.”“Jow silly you think we are?’ said Mr. Warthog. “ If you are down, you will eat us!”“I promise I won’t !” pleased Lion. “I am so weak for food, so I am as harmless as a small cat.”So the warthogs undid the trapand set the lion free.“Thank you so much,” said Lin. “Dear Mr. Warthog, sweet Mrs. Warthog and lovely, delicious, good-enough-to-eat Baby Warthog, Iam so grateful, I could just gobble y ou up!”Mr. Warthog didn’t like the sound of that. She didn’t like the way lion was looking at Baby Warthog and licking his lips either.“Like this?” said Mrs. Warthog, and she pulled hard so that the rope went tight and Lion was once again hanging upside down from the treee.“What did you do that for?” said Lion.“My family and I set you free,”said Mrs. Warthog. “ and you were ging to thank us by eating Baby Warthog here! What an ungrateful guy you are!”The Warthogs turned their backs and walked away with their noses in the air.Lion hung upside down like that for another three days until Grass Mouse came by.“Excuse me,” said Lion, who was now so weak for lack of food that his voice was just a whisper. “Would you please be kind enough to help me down?I promise I won’t hurt you.Grass Mouse’s mother told him to stay away from lions, but she had also said that he should always help other animals in trouble. Grass Mouse climbed up the tree and with his sharp front teeth he gnawed through the rope that was holding lion.“Thank you so much,” said the Lion when he was back on solid ground.Lion wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice, so instead of thinking about eating Grass Mouse, he promised to help him whenever he is in trouble.26..

All roads lead to Rome.（B）I have just returned from a visit to my landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.Mr. Healthcliff is my only neighbor, and I think his characteris like mine. He does not like people either.When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant (仆人). He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Healthcliff hardly received guests.His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house on a hill”,blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunfately, the house is strongly built, and is not damageed even by the worst winter storms.Mr. Healthcliff and I entered the main room. We sat down by the fire, in scilence.“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Healthcliff. No answer came from the cellar, so he rushed down there, leaving me with several fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.“Help! Mr. Healthcliff! Help!”I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman ,who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.“What is the matter?” Mr. Healthcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man -servant.“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “ You should leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel angry after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while.

He was rude but interesting.C.He was handsome but boring.D.He was strange but friendly.（C）Some people might think that online privacy（隐私）is a ,well, private matter. If you don’t want your information getting out online, don’t put it on social media. Simple, right?But keeping your information private isn’t just about your own choices. It’s about your friends’ choices, too. Results from a study show that, with the development of all kinds of socialmedia,people may need to stop and think about just how much they control their personal information, and where the boundaries of their privacy are.When someone joins a social network, the first order of business is, of course, to find friends. To help the users to find their friends, many apps offer to import contact list(导入联系人清单）from someone’s phone or e-mail or Facebook, to find matches with people already in the network.“sharing those contact lists seems harmless,” says David Garcia, a computational social scientist at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna in Austria. “People giving contact lists, they’re not doing anything wrong.” he says. “ You are their friend. You give them the e-mail address and phone number.” most of the time, you probably want to stay in touch with the person, possibly even via the social media site.But the social network then has that information-- whether or not the owner of it wants it to be shared.Social platforms’ ability to collect information into what are called shadow profiles first came to light with a Facebook bug in 2013. The bug accidentally shared the e-mail addresses and phone numbers of some 6 billion users with all of their friends, even when the information was public.Facebook immediately corrected the mistakes. But later, some users noticed that the phone numbers on their Facebook profiles had still been filled in---even though they had not given Facebook their digits. Instead, Facebook had collected the numbers from the contact lists innocently provided by their friends, and filled in the missing information for them. A shadow profile had become reality.It’s no surprise that a social platform could take names, e-mail addresses and phone numbers and match them up with other people on the same platform. But Garcia wondered if these shadow profiles could be extended to people not on the social platform at all.He turned to a social network called Friendster which was closed up in 2015. Friendster was launched in 2002. In 2008, the social site attracted more than 115 million users. But by 2009 people began to jump ship for other sites, and finally Friendster closed for good. However, by using the Internet Archive-- a nonprofit library, Garcia still found lots of users’ information about Friendster.“ You are not in full control of your privacy,” he concludes. If your friend is on a social platform, so are you. And you don’t have a choice in the matter. Garcia published his findings August 4 in Science Advance.36.The apps help us to find friends in the following ways EXCEPT __________.A.Though phone numbersB.though e-mailC.though FacebookD. though ID number37.What can you know about the Facebook bug in 2013?A. The bug shared all the person information of Facebook users to their friends.B. All the Facebook users find their phone numbers on their Facebook profiles.C. Few people knew Facebook would collect information into shadow profiles.D. Facebook refused to correct the bug.38. Why did Garcia turn to study Friendster?A. Because he showed a great interest in Friendster.B.Because Friendster is very popular among young people.C. Because he wanted to find whether shadow profile affected people not on social platform.D. Because his science center asked him to do study about that.39.What can we infer from the passage?A. With some media, we don’t need to make friends in the real world.B. You can keep your personal information as long as you don’t use social media.C. Facebook is widely used around the whole world.D. Even if you are not on a social platform, your information may still be shared.40.Which can be the best title of the passage?A.How to protect your personal informationB. Respect online privacyC.

Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments shining against the green of a pine."Where did it come from?" I asked."I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when in great need... such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon."The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Starwas in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas."It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look for a better one. But I couldn't be fussy.""Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect."It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: All Christmas trees are perfect.26.What did his mother's Christmas tree look like?27.

Just ask 13-year-old David Moore. The eighth-grader has launched a company last October to develop low-cost machines to print Braille (布莱叶盲文). David built a Braille printer with a Lego Mindstorms EV3 kit as a school science fair project last year after he asked his parents a simple question: How do blind people read? "Google it," they told him. David then did some online research and was shocked to learn that Braille printers cost at least $2,000 — too expensive for most blind readers."I just thought that price should not be there. I know that there is a simpler way to do this," said David, who demonstrated how his printer works at the kitchen table where he spent many late nights building it. David wants to develop a desktop Braille printer that costs around $350 and weighs just a few pounds, compared with current models that can weigh more than 20 pounds. "My end goal would probably be having most of the blind people ... using my Braille printer," said David, who lives in the Silicon Valley suburb of Santa Clara, just minutes away from Intel headquarters.A fter the “Braigo” ---a name that combines Braille and Lego--won numerous awards and enthusiastic support from the blind community, David started Braigo Labs last summer with an initial $35,000 investment from his dad. "We as parents started to get involved more, thinking that he's on to something and this new way process has to continue," said his father, Matthew Moore, an engineer who works for Intel.Intel officials were so impressed with David's printer that in November they invested an undisclosed sum in his start-up. They believe he's the youngest entrepreneur to receive venture capital money invested in exchange for a financial stake in the company. "He's solving a real problem, and he wants to go off and challenge an existing industry," said Edward Ross, director of Inventor Platforms` at Intel. Now the company is using the money to hire professional engineers and advisers to help design and build Braille printers based on David’s ideas. It aims to have a prototype (样机) ready for blind organizations to test this summer and have a Braigo printer on the market later this year.31. Which of the followings is Not the description of Braigo?A. The name "Braigo" comes from Braille and Lego.B. The new type of printer is supported by the blind.C. It costs less money and weighs just a few pounds.D.It’s lighter than current Brailleprinters , but hard to use.32. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Intel didn’t announce the amount of money it invested.B. No one else has ever received venture capital from Intel.C. Intel purchased David’s ideas to design and build Braille printers.D. Braigo printers have been on the market and proved a great success.33. Which of the following is the correct order?a. Intel officials invested money in David’s start-up.b. David launched a company.c. David got an initial $35,000 investment from his dad.d. David created a new Braille printer model called Braigo.e.

Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the ease, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. Tiffs doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try newthings. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves'. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.41. From Paragraph 2 we can learn thatA. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight42. What does the underlined word conflict probably mean?A. 斗争B. 冲突C. 欺凌D. 辱骂43. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To find out who is to blame.B. To get ready to buy new things.C. To make clear what the real issue is.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.44. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that_____.A. the teacher-student relationship greatly improvedB. the students’ sense of responsibility was awokenC. The students could deal with friends and teachers without any difficultyD. there was a decrease in classroom violence45. The writer's purpose for writing this article is to________.A. call for people's attention to school violenceB. teach students different strategies for school lifeC. advocate that schools should teach students how to deal with conflictD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence第二节阅读填空（共5小题每题1分共5分）Since the great success of cloning the sheep Dolly, the cloning of human beings is no longer a fictional story but can be proved to be medically possible. 46 I just want to say: “ No!

Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University.
