2021届江西省新余市第四中学高三英语模拟试卷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AObesity (肥胖症) is becoming a problem in our busy society, and almost one in three American adults is now considered to be obese. Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much bodyfat. If you eat more food than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need will be stored as fat by your body.The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity.What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fast food such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy for physical activities.The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese.There are many psychological factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are worried, unhappy or bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating.Age is another factor, as you tend (趋于) to be less active when you get older. When you get older, you need to eat less, and if you do not eat less, you will put on weight. Obesity can cause many health problems such as heart problems, high blood pressure and many other serious medical conditions.1. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means that ____.A. obesity does not do harm to health.B. there are more obese children than before.C. all the American children are obese.D. there are less obese children in the USA.2. According to the passage, there are ____ major factors that increase the risk of obesity.A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six3. What will the writer most probably talk about after the last paragraph?A. How to avoid obesity.B. How to live in the busy USA.C. What illnesses are caused by obesity.D. How doctors treat heart problems.BShanghairesidents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu district in Octobermight have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground in its entirety and relocated using new technology named the “walking” machine.In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers used nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which in turns rise up and down, imitating the human step. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.TheLagenaPrimary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, faced a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”.Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new location. The old school building is set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural protection. The project marks the first time this “walking machine” method has been used inShanghaito relocate a historical building.In recent years,China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildingsrazedto clear land for skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage loss as a result of destruction across the country.Shanghaihas beenChina’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the repaired Xintiandi neighborhood has offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, which was then considered to beShanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.4. How did the primary school get moved?A. By reducing the weight of it.B. By using movable supports.C. By dividing it into several parts.D. By using robotic legs.5. What does the underlined word “razed” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. Replaced.B. Burnt.C. Protected.D. Destroyed.6. What can we infer about the heritage preservation inChina?A. The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.B. Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.C.A number of old buildings have been given new life.D. Many historic buildings will be relocated.7. What is the passage mainly about?A. New preservation campaigns are launched inChina.B. New technology gives new life to historic buildings.C. A building inShanghai“walks” to a new location.D. “Walking machine” makes heritage protection simpler.CThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, thefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were moreaffected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broader society.For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.8. The first two paragraphs suggest that________.A. bad medical outcomes affect doctorsB delivering babies can be difficult workC. some doctors are not very experiencedD. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes9. In the blood-thinner study, doctors________.A. tend to prescribe less effective medicineB. are more concerned about the patients' safetyC. become less confident in writing a prescriptionD. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding10. What does the underlined word ''fallout'' in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ResultB. BenefitC. DifferenceD. Absence11. The author will probably agree that________.A. we should not doubt our own decisionsB. our experience will pave way for our futureC. humans are emotional and irrational on the wholeD. instincts don't necessarily lead to wrong directionsDPigeons inLondonhave a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.”London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about the pollution they’ re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it.Nearby, on a windy hill inLondon’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help—the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, fromFrance, chose the problem of air pollution.“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them overLondon. “But pigeons can fly aboveLondon, right?” he says. “They live—actually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.12. What can we infer aboutLondon’s air quality from Paragraph 2?A. Londoners are very satisfied with it.B. The government is trying to improve it.C Londoners should pay more attention to it.D. The government has done a lot to improve it.13. Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _________.A. entertain Londoners.B. solve a world problem.C. design a product for sale.D. protect animals like pigeons.14. Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly acrossLondon?A. Because they are too expensive.B. Because they fly too quickly.C. Because they are forbidden.D. Because they fly too high.15. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Clean air inLondon.B. London’s dirty secret.C. London’s new pollution fighter.D. Causes of air pollution inLondon.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。

江西省上进联考2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解It’s 124 years since Europe’s first long- distance footpath was opened, and you can dip in and out of almost every route for a hike.Hadrian’s Wall Path, EnglandHadrian’s Wall is Britain’s finest Roman monument and to understand how iron- willed people will be to finish such an achievement, you have to sweat over the same hills as the Roman emperor’s soldiers would have done along this 84-mile footpath. Reaching the wall’s western end, you may find yourself sharing the beach next to some cows sitting on its sands.The Pembrokeshire Coast Path, WalesThe 186- mile seaside hike offers the same mix of cliff tops, beaches and secret caves that you’ll find on England’s famous 630-mile South West Coast Path. Most memorable of all is the wildlife, which is often easy to spot from the path. Spend a couple of weeks walking its full length, and you’ll have a keen sense that Britain’s coastline is filled with life.The Tour du Mont Blanc, FranceMont Blanc is western Europe’s tallest mountain. Walking around it on this 103-mile route at a measured pace and with a couple of rest days, it’ll take nearly two weeks to get round it. However, the route is conveniently divided into 11 sections, plus public transport and cable cars can also be used to skip certain sections for a shorter hiking adventure.Kaiserkrone, Austria This most popular Alpine hike isn’t short of scenery. As you walk its five stages totalling 36 miles, you’ll dip into fragrant pine forests and cross Alpine meadows. There’s a memorable range of accommodation on offer, from the mid- mountain Gruttenhutte down to the Gasthof Griesenau in the valley.1．What will impress hikers most at Hadrian’s Wall Path?A．The memorable wildlife.B．The fragrant pine forests.C．The ancient Roman monument.D．The handy public transport.2．Which of the four hikes covers the longest distance?A．Kaiserkrone.B．Hadrian’s Wall Path.C．The Tour du Mont Blanc.D．The Pembrokeshire Coast Path.3．What is special about Kaiserkrone?A．It provides accommodation in some parts.B．It has vehicles for short hiking experience.C．It has some of England’s best secret caves.D．It reminds people of the greatness of Romans.At 6:00 am, I stepped out of my car into the July heat in Houston, Texas. At fifty- three, I’d train for my first half- marathon as my plan to build friendships in an unknown city!Houston was quite a change from Southern California, where I grew up. I had bravely faced my husband’s job transfer, but my future no longer consisted of PTA meetings, team mom activities and my children’s high school social functions. What would each day look like?The answer arrived when Annie, a runner in the neighborhood, phoned and asked me to join the local chapter of USA Fit. I was hoping she would hear the disinterest in my voice, but Annie didn’t give up easily. That day Annie’s plan succeeded. So I joined her. We were divided into groups according to marathon or half-marathon, and pace. I had a group and friends!From the first day, four women with experience, Diane, Karen, Jill, and Betsy, never left my side. When fall arrived, I came to believe I could actually walk the half- marathon at the required rapid pace. My confidence grew from strict preparation and our courage. The training schedule was taped to my kitchen wall. But with the realization that only the final week remained, panic set in. It came from a place deep inside, from insecurity and the realization that I might not be up to the challenge. But we cheered and held on.My target had simply been to finish the half- marathon. At some crazy point, I decided to complete the race in less than three hours. The last mile was nearly intolerable. Our pace had been much quicker than during training. Luckily, the final stretch was bursting with enthusiasm from the crowded sidewalks.Six months of preparation finished with one step over a thin black line. Enthusiastic volunteers, who had been so generous with their time, placed medals around our necks. I felt the shiny ribbon with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. At that moment, I realized I had become part of my new community.4．Why did the author move to Houston?A．She moved there for retirement.B．She wanted to join her friends.C．Her husband got a new job there.D．Her children were transferred there. 5．What was the author’s initial reaction to Annie’s call?A．She showed no interest in running marathon.B．She was eager to join Annie forconnections.C．She wore a confused look at the invitation.D．She pretended to be uninterested in the idea.6．What did the author worry about during the last week of training?A．Her chance of winning a prize.B．The lack of good safety measures.C．Her ability to finish the marathon.D．The intensity of her training schedule. 7．What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A．She generously helped other runners.B．She felt a sense of belonging in running.C．She formed friendship with the volunteers.D．She beat other runners by running one step faster.In data from different countries, patients examined by female doctors seem to recover better than those checked up by male ones. One of the first studies to examine the issue was published in 2017 by experts from Harvard Medical School. The authors analysed the medical records of around 1.5 million older adults hospitalised in America between 2011 and 2014. They found patients whose primary treatment had been performed by a female doctor were 4% less likely to die or to be readmitted to hospital in the following 30 days, than those whose primary doctor was a man.Later in 2017, another study by a separate group of Canadian and American researchers searched for similar trends following surgery. They examined the outcomes of 100,000 patients who had operations in Ontario between 2007 and 2015, and found the same results.Since then, other studies have made similar claims. One drawback with the studies is that they all look back at naturally occurring data. It could be, for example, that female doctors tend to be assigned healthier patients than their male colleagues. In an experiment where patients were randomly assigned to doctors, any such links would be broken, says Gavin Stewart, an expert at Newcastle University.Researchers say the next step is to work out why. Past research has found that femaledoctors tend to spend more time with patients, are more likely to provide preventive care and tend to stick more closely to clinical guidelines than their male colleagues do. This could downplay the risk of preventable deaths.The benefits of having a female physician app ear to be greatest for female patients. Part of the explanation may be that female physicians understand the needs of female patients better than their male peers. Whatever the gender of their physician, though, female patients seem to respond more actively to doctors than male patients do. This is another divide in need of consideration.Understanding such differences in care will help all doctors improve their practice. For all the good that advanced medical equipment and new drugs can do, a physician’s judgment seems to be as important as ever.8．What can we know about the patients treated by female doctors in 2017 studies?A．They suffered a lot in surgery.B．They were more likely to be ill again.C．They were given extra care in hospital.D．They had better recovery after treatment. 9．What does Gavin think is the drawback of the studies?A．Their results didn’t apply to all the situations.B．The doctors varied in their experience and skills.C．There were no data of the condition of the doctors.D．The studies didn’t follow the patients long enough.10．What does the underlined word “downplay” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Boost.B．Reduce.C．Remove.D．Pose.11．What accounts for good treatment of female patients according to Para.5?A．The doctors’ professional knowledge.B．The doctors’ will to take care of them.C．Their fast adjustment to the conditions.D．Their better cooperation with doctors.The northern bald ibis (隐鹮) once flying over North Africa and much of Europe disappeared from Europe by the 17th century. But raising and rewilding efforts over the last 20 years helped the bird population grow. However, the birds don’t know which direction to fly to migrate without the guidance of wild-born birds.In 2002, Waldrappteam, a conservation and research group based in Austria, stepped in to help. Scientists at Waldrappteam raise the birds and teach them how to fly to warmer areas. Fritzand the Waldrappteam have increased the number of northern bald ibis in Central Europe from zero to almost300 since the start of their project in 2002.In their attempt to reintroduce the continentally extinct migratory bird species, his team found one problem. Humans have led the birds now for 17 years to warm places like Tuscany, Italy. But due to climate change, when released, the birds raised by humans flew in that direction and would die in winter. They have had to help the birds change the route to a winter home in southern Spain.To prepare them for travel, the humans begin working with the baby birds. The foster parent humans want the birds to connect with them so they will trust them along the migration route. They then sit on the back of a small aircraft, waving and cheering for the birds as they fly.Fritz knew his work would be possible because he saw the work of Canadian naturalist Lishman. Lishman taught Canadian geese to fly alongside his small plane. Fritz’s team efforts have worked. The first bird independently migrated back to Bavaria from Tuscany in 2011. Earlier this month from an airfield in upper Bavaria, the team guided 36 birds along one stage through blue skies and a wind from behind them that increased their speed. Fritz said the effort is bigger than just the northern bald ibises. He hopes the group’s work offers a possibility for helping other threatened migratory species to fly.12．What has been done in the last 20 years to save the northern bald ibises?A．Freeing them into the wild at birth.B．Raising and putting them into the wild.C．Training them to find food in the wild.D．Improving environmental issues for them. 13．What did Fritz and his team find about migrating bald ibises?A．They had no sense of direction by nature.B．They suffered in winter for lack of shelter.C．Many of them were hunted on their routes.D．Their former migrating destination became cold.14．What’s the importance of the team’s work according to Fritz?A．Feeding endangered species and returning them to nature.B．Studying the impact of climate change on bird migration.C．Offering possible ways to help other endangered species to migrate.D．Raising people’s awareness of promoting those endangered species.15．What does the text mainly talk about?A．Flying routes of the migratory birds.B．Humans’ efforts to guide birds to migrate.C．The increase in the population of bald ibis.D．Migratory bird species suffering climate change.Research indicates that evening exercises can extend sleep by an average of 27 minutes without affecting sleep quality. The study contrasts with traditional guidelines. 16 Current recommendations discourage intense exercise before going to bed, believing that it increases body temperature and heart rate. 17 To explore whether activities have any impact on sleep, the researchers recruited 30 non-smokers, aged 18 to 40, to their study. Each participant completed two 4- hour sessions in a controlled laboratory environment on the same day of the week, starting at around 17:00 pm-17:30 pm. 18 In the other, they did 3 minutes of simple exercise every 30 minutes over the 4-hour period. Afterward, participants returned to their normal, real- life environment.The results, which are based on 28 participants, show that after the activity breaks, participants slept for an additional 27 minutes on average, compared with long-time sitting.

AIn 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don' t even use your inner space?"H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Channel", a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete. But what about underground cities? Japan' s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities." The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth' s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' "moon people" would agree. Would you?21. The explorers in H. G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the "moon people"________.A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground citiesD. were ahead of them in space technology22. What does the underlined word "it" (paragraph 2) refer to?A. Using the earth's inner space.B. Discovering the moon' s inner space.C. Meeting the "moon people" again.D. Traveling to outer space.23. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.B. Tunnels, gardens, offices.C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.D. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.24. What would be the best title for the text?A. Alice Cities - cities of the futureB. Building down, not upC. Enjoy living undergroundD. Space travel with H. G. WellsBSometimes it is difficult to talk to taxi drivers. They must give all their attention to the road as they work out the shortest way to the place where you are going. However, passengers from Wangfujing were in surprise when they took a taxi. The driver just would not stop talking ―in English.Organized by the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy, “Dare to Speak” examines if Chinese people will speak English in “real-life” situations.Matthew Knowles, an acting student from South Carolina at Beijing Film Academy, acted the part as the “driver”. He collected six passengers on Saturday morning, most of whom were female white-collar workers.“Of course they were surprised at first, wondering why I’m driving a taxi, and wondering whether this is a real taxi, but then most of them were pretty willing to speak,” he said. Knowles said he was also surprised by his “passengers”. “Apart from my first ‘passenger’, who co uld speak very little English, all the rest spoke English very well, and it was fun to communicate with them,” he said, adding that some “passengers” were quite talkative.The “foreign taxi driver” project was just one of the “Dare to Speak” activities, wh ich have been going on since the end of October. Other projects included a foreign store owner near a high school in Beijing, a cook in a Shanghai university canteen. They were testing the willingness of Chinese people, especially students and white-collar workers, to speak to foreigners in English.Rong Xin, senior manager of IELTS (雅思) with the British Embassy, said they hoped to let IELTS takers in China know that communication is the most important goal of IELTS.“We hope that more and more IELTS taker s in China can realize the importance of communicating in English in real life, instead of just getting high test scores,” she said.25. Why did Matthew Knowles drive a taxi?A. He enjoyed chatting with people in English.B. He played the role of a taxi driver in a film.C. He took part in the project “Dare to speak”D. He wanted to improve his Chinese while driving.26. The Chinese may meet and talk to _______ in “Dare to speak” projects.A. a white-collar workerB. a high school studentC. a restaurant managerD. a foreign store owner27. The purpose of the project “Dare to Speak” is to _______ .A. draw Chinese people’s attention to IELTSB. remind language learners of the goal of learningC. attract more foreigners to start business in ChinaD. give more chances for English learners in ChinaCThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and lis ten. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work toget results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.28. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products are misleading peopleB. people are fed up with diet productsC. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsD. diet products f ail to bring out people’s potential29. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsB. watch their weight rather than their dietC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. try out a variety of diet foods30. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” means ..A. it costs a lot to lose weightB. diet products bring no painC. losing weight is effortlessD. diet products are free from calories31. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.A. are over-consumedB. provide too much energyC. are short of chemicalsD. lack basic nutrientsDOn the day after Thanskgiving in the US, or Black Friday, lots of stores offer special discounts to mark the beginning of holiday shopping season. In China, a similar day falls on Nov.11 when millions of Chinese shoppers go to and , two e-commerce websites operated by Alibaba.The 11.11 Shopping Festival, as the event is now called, is also known in China as Singles Day. The shopping festival first started in 2009 and Alibaba said it chose the date because it was easy to remember. Last year, Tmall and Taobao together produced 19.1 billion in sales on that day, according t o Alibaba. This year’s shopping festival kicked off with an even stronger start—sales hit 100 million yuan 55 seconds after midnight and reached 35 billion at the end of the day.The shopping spree(狂欢) drew the attention of China’s leaders, as Premier Li Keqiang recently praised Alibaba’s founder, Jack Ma, for creating a day for consumption. China is trying to lead the country’s economy to a slower, more sustainable（可持续的）growth model based on domestic (国内的) consumption instead of investment and exports. Online shopping is no doubt a growth point that will release spending potential. China had 564 million regular Internet users by the end of last year. It has surpassed the US to become the world’s largest e-commerce market, with its online sales over 1 trillion US dollars (6 trillion yuan) by 2020.“The real-time nature of online consumption attracts millions of people to spend money and enjoy life. E-commerce opens a new channel for China to encourage domestic demand,” Liu Yin, vice-president of the China International Electronic Commerce Center said. More importantly, it promotes employment and the logistics (物流) industry with its sales model of “online purchasing plus express delivery”, he added. Convenience, choice and low prices have increased online shopping, but there are still some problems with the one-day shopping spree.Some online shops, driven by the huge profits, took this opportunity to play price tricks. They raised prices to twice those of the originals in the early October and then offered discounts on Nov 11. Many consumers, driven by the advantage they could take, just went along for the ride. “They spend lots of time online to check what to buy and are happy to get what they don’t really need ata lower price,” wrote Jia Ge, an Internet ana lyst, on his Sina weibo.32. In the US, a holiday shopping season refers to _________.A. a spree in a holiday like ThanksgivingB. one of the four seasons in a year like springC. a shopping spree when stores offer special discountsD. a holiday when people can relax themselves by shopping33. In this year’s 11.11 Shopping Festival, Tmall and Taobao produced ______in all.A. 19.1 billion yuanB. 100 million yuanC. 35.1 billion yuanD. 35 billion yuan34. What Liu Yin said is mainly about _______.A. the advantages of e-commerceB. the advantages of express deliveryC. the development of online shoppingD. the development of logistic industry35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.A. most online shops played price tricks on consumers to make huge profitsB. driven by the huge profits, many consumers bought what they didn’t really needC. some prices of the goods were raised at first and sold at the original price on Nov. 11D. many consumers were cheated by the online shops and bought unnecessary goods第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。

On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 25, used Instagram to explain why she was “laying low” this summer. She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friend Francia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant from her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they weren’t treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys. Though Gomez said that she was “very well now,” she warned about the dangers of not taking medical diagnoses seriously, like she initially did.Her Instagram post also called attention to two major health topics: the need for living organ donators and the fact that Gomez represents three groups more likely to be diagnosed with lupus and lupus-related kidney disease. Nine out of 10 people diagnosed with lupus are women, and most develop the disease between the ages of 15 to 44. And lupus is two to three times more common among women of color, including Hispanic women, according to the Lupus Foundation.Raisa is Latina, and Gomez’s father is of Mexican origin. While it’s not essential that the organ donator and receiver be of the same ethnicity, people who share a similar backgroundsometimes are better matched, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing. 4．What can we learn about Francia Raisa?A．She is lucky.B．She is selfless.C．She is optimistic.D．She is encouraging.5．What is lupus like at its early stage?A．It is deadly.B．It is hard to recognize.C．Its symptoms are psychological.D．It reminds you of a kidney disease.6．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．People with lupus.B．Colored women lupus patients.C．Lupus patients with kidney disease.D．Women between the ages of 15 to 44.7．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A．Raisa and Gomez have a similar background.B．Gomez has fully recovered thanks to the kidney from Raisa.C．It is vital for the donator and receiver to be of the same race.D．The organ from the donator of the same race matches the receiver better.Are you able to tell if people are lying? There is a piece of good news that a technology company is developing a lie detector app for smart phones that could be used by parents, teachers and Internet daters. The app measures blood flow in the face to assess whether or not you are telling the truth. Its developers say that it could be used for Internet daters wanting to see if somebody really is interested in them. Parents could use it on their children to see if they are lying, and teachers could work out which pupils are truthful.The app is being developed by Toronto startup NuraLogix and the app is called Transdermal Optical Imaging. The idea is that different human feelings create different facial blood flow patterns that we have no control over. These patterns change if we are telling the truth or telling a lie. Using footage from the smart phone camera, the app will see the changes in skin colourand compare them to standardized results.A study finds that anger is connected with more facial blood flow and redness while sadness is connected with less of both.Kang Lee, who has been researching the field for 20 years, said that the lie detector test will let you find out the truth remotely and secretly. He said: “It could be very useful, for example, for teachers. A lot of our students have math anxiety, but they do not want to tell us because that’s embarrassing.”Lee added that the technology would not replace lie detectors used in a court of law. He said: "They want the accuracy to be extremely high, like genetic tests---a one-in-a-million error rate. Our technique won't be able to achieve an extremely high accuracy level, so because of that, I don't think it's useful for the courts. He added that it will be a few years before the dating app is available to consumers.8．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The operation process of the app.B．The history of a technology company.C．The functions and applications of the app.D．The origin and development of the new technology.9．What do we know about the app?A．Its accuracy is the same as genetic tests.B．It can help teachers pick out the honest pupils.C．It will help see the structures of human skin.D．It has been already on the market for a few years.10．What can we learn from the text?A．The technology will be applied to the medical field.B．The technology will replace lie detectors in the court of law.C．Different human feelings have nothing to do with facial blood flow patterns. D．Sadness is related to less facial blood flow and redness when compared with anger. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．The Story about Kang Lee. B．The Disadvantages of New Technology. C．Various Smart Phones. D．A Developing App for Smart Phones.Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streetswith their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of p rivate cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Moreover, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from overseas investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for business people through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.12．Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?A．Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.B．Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.C．Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority. D．Because they wanted to attract passengers not to hire the private cars.13．The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.A．positive B．negativeC．neutral D．unclear14．Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A．The problem referred to in the passage exists in all cities.B．App-based car rental is functional to some degree.C．The government should regulate the app-based car rental market.D．Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company.15．We can learn from the passage that _____.A．Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companies.B．Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche.C．Some investment companies have confidence in apps-based car rental companies.D．It is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal.二、七选五Chocolate is popular with people around.
