AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes。
Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you。
Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed。
Additionally， they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron。
For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal。
Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach" to exercise。
十四、文章结构题一、篇章结构题(2018·“六校联盟”第三次联考)Careers in zoology are extremely varied and unique，and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare.Zoology，or the study of animals，is a wide field with many specialties，including research，conservation，veterinary(兽医的) medicine，and the care of animals.For people with a love of animals and some training，dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies.These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world.Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation，breeding programs，and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species.Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals，or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems.Some conservationists work in educational fields，trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury，and some careers in zoology help to create a safe，stable animal population.Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field，and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian.While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets，vets in rural areas often work with large farm animalsand more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves.Humans love to observe animals，and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs.Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs，to creating the proper diet for a deer，or to cleaning the tiger’s cage.Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.语篇解读文章介绍了动物学相关职业的多样性，并就四种相关的职业进行了具体讲解。

高考研究联盟第三次联考英语试题第二部分：阅读理解第一节：AWhen you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to be had. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people's homes. I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket: stacking shelves and working at the checkout.Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It's one of those things that is seen almost as a rite of passage. It's a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money. So, that's no bad thing!Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be detrimental to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers' organizations for young adults beingill-prepared for full-time employment.But despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years. Young people feel going out to work will delay their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results -and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that "Properly regulated part time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives." In reality, it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest. That seems like something wroth getting up for a Saturday morning.21.Which of the following in NOT included in the benefits of a Saturday job for school children?A. Providing life experience and chances to be independent.B. Helping teenagers obtain good jobs in the future.C. Offering a balance between study and rest.D. Teaching lessons about managing money.22. Why was the number of British teenagers with a part-time job fallen recently?A. Because they agree it will be harmful to their later life.B. Because they want to play sports and have other fun.C. Because they are worried it will affect their academic performance.D. Because they are under more pressure to find a job in long term.23. What’s the author’s attitude towards part-time work for teenagers?A. NegativeB. ConservativeC. DoubtfulD. PositiveBAlmost everyone has had the experience of standing at the cash register in front of a long line while a salesclerk struggles to find a bar code or price tag. Instead of taking the time to call for a price check, the clerk may turn to the customer and ask, “Do you know what the price is?”For every customer who shakes his head “no,”forcing the salesclerk to call for assistance, there is a customer like Irene, a gray-haired widow, who loves to get into these situations. Though Irene knows the exact price of everything she purchases, she won’t tell it to the salescler k. She’ll say “It’s $1.98”even when she knows it costs several dollars more. The fact that the salesclerk believes Irene isn’t her problem, Irene says, though she’ll admit it is one of the few benefits of looking like a nice old lady.Nancy, a math teacher, will never forget the time she was buying clothes for her four children. All of the items were reduced 20 percent from the clearance price. The salesgirl punched (打出)in the first item’sprice, and then took 20 percent off. So far, so good. Then she entered the price of the second item, subtotaled, and took 20 percent off again. Each time the clerk added another item, she subtotaled first before taking 20 percent off. When the final bill was a little over $10, Nancy could hardly believe her eyes. But she paid the bill without saying anything. She told her husband later that many people wouldn’t have even noticed what the clerk was doing wrong. “Why should I be penalized (使……处于不利地位)for knowing math?”Nancy argued.A recent college graduate, Jeffrey, can’t afford everything he wants. When he got an offer to receive free issues(期刊)of a very expensive magazine, he immediately signed up for a subscription. From the very beginning he planned to cancel the subscription as soon as the free issues ran out. And he did. The problem was that the magazine kept coming anyway and, eventually, Jeffrey was billed for a year’s subscription. It took more than a few months of correspondence to get the whole mess settled. And, in the end, Jeffrey did get quite a few issues of the magazine without paying anything.We probably would all agree that Irene, Nancy and Jeffrey are not very good customers. But what does it take to be a good customer? In short, good will. Good will means a customer treats the business honestly and fairly even when he doesn’t have to. Good business policies and good consumer protection against fraud are necessary, but not enough to cover all the possible situations arising between a business and its customers. It takes good will to fill in the cracks. It takes good will to make both good businesses and goodcustomers.24.Why did the salesclerk believe Irene?A. There was a long queue of customers standing at the cash register.B. Irene knew the exact price of everything she purchased.C. There was no time to call for a price check.D. Irene looked like a respectable old lady.25. The correct procedure for the salesgirl to perform should have been __________ .A. to add up each item and then take 20% off the totalB. to take 20% off the subtotal each time she added a new itemC. to take 20% off each item and then take another 20% off the totalD. to add up the clearance price of each item26. What, in the author’s vi ew, should Jeffrey have done to be a good customer?A. He should not have accepted the magazine after the free issues ran out.B. He should have canceled the subscription as soon as the free issues ran out.C. He should have paid in advance when he signed up for the subscription.D. He should not have signed up for the free issues in the first place.CAging happens to all of us, and is generally thought of as a natural part of life. It would seem silly to call such a thing a "disease."On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more. In that light, aging itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency.Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease. He said that describing aging as a disease creates incentives to develop treatments."It unties the hands of the pharmaceutical (制药的) industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects," he said."Right now, people think of aging as natural and something you can't control," he said. "In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop interventions(干预). The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range."But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, "It would attract funding and change the way we do health care. What matters is understanding that aging is curable.""It was always known that the body accumulates damage," he added. "The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage. I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions."Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased, which some researchers suggest is possible. Hayflick is not among them."There're many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease. But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their disease," Hayflick said. "Even if those causes of death were eliminated, life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years."27.What does Alex Zhavoronkov think about aging?A. It is silly to regard aging as a disease.B. Aging is more risky than cancer.C. Describing aging as a disease will help to develop treatments.D. Aging is natural and there is no way to control it.28.What does the underlined sentence in Para.4 mean?A. The medical community is quite interested in aging research.B. The medical community thinks of aging uncontrolledC.The medical community is working hard on stopping aging.D.The medical community keeps people healthy so as to slow their aging.29. What does Professor Leonard Hayflick believe?A. Aging can be possibly cured in the future.B. Aging is closely connected with disease.C. Most people still can live beyond 92 years.D. The human lifespan cannot be increased.30. The above passage is most likely to be _____________.A. a news storyB. a science reportC. a medical reviewD. an introduction to diseases第二节Nowadays most people are surrounded by lots of good, but unhealthy food choices during the holidays.

Be selective if you get invited to many, choosing the ones you really want to attend. Not only will this probably save on the over indulgences, but it will also allow you to slow down and not feel rushed all winter.Plan ahead.If you know you will be going to a party or dinner, try to eat healthy at your other meals throughout the day. This way you don’t damage secretly your diet all day long. Also, avoid standing anywhere near the food in order to go about among people. __34__.Even if you are diligent in maintaining your exercise program, you have to watch your food intake. __35__.

AQuestioning the existence of aliens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe.◆TRAPPIST-1TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an "ultra-cool" star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system.◆TitanTitan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone.Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesn't have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature.◆EuropaEuropa is one of Jupiter's moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up.◆MarsThe Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility.We know by now that we won't find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.1. The common point of these celestial bodies is that _______.A. solid water exists on them respectivelyB. life might exist on each of themC. they all contain liquid waterD. each of them has living things on it2. Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination?A. TRAPPIST-1.B. Titan.C. Europa.D. Mars.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Europa is the most talked-about potential candidate for extraterrestrial life.B. TRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.C. All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.D. There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I wan t toask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for th emselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.4. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.5. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.CCareers in zoology are extremely varied and unique, and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare. Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary (兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation, breeding programs, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals, or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Someconservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves. .Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.8. What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A. To help governments make laws.B. To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.C. To create safe and effective products for humans.D. To educate people to protect animals.9. What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A. Better understand animals.B. P rotect animals’ health.C. C lean the animals’ cages.D. Increase the number of animals.10. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?(P1=paragraph 1; P2= paragraph 2; P3= paragraph 3; P4= paragraph 1; P5= paragraph 5;)11. What does the passage mainly present?A. V olunteers’ passion for zoology.B. A new idea of careers in zoology.C. Different types of careers in zoology.D. Effective measures of animal protection.DNEW YORK－A massive winter storm paralyzed much of the US East Coast on Thursday and Friday, dumping as much as 46 centimeters of snow from the Carolinas to Maine.

My fifth-grade teacher, Jody Delay, facilitated (促进) that love of books. Every day during the fifth grade I walked into a room with one wall completely lined with books. Mrs Delay had over one thousand books in her classroom.She started the year off saying that she might give a book to any of us who showed such great interest in it. She had given a book to a student a few years before and I wanted to be presented with a book very much. So I checked out The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke frequently. She never gave me the book, but I developed a deep love for Ms C ornelia’s stories.I refused to watch the movie on principle.My mom had requirements about what I was allowed to do according to what we believed. With Mrs Delay, I wouldn’t have to read anything that made my mom uncomfortable. I would pick up a book, look at it and consider it, and if it didn’t fit, she would gently take it away from my hands, explain to me that it wasn’t suitable and then point me in the direction of a better book.What really made the difference in how I saw Mrs Delay was a spring break. I borrowed a book a day from her during schooldays, so I didn’t know what I would do if I was left without any new books for a week. Mrs Delay sent me home with a pile of books bigger than I was. It seemed to go on forever. I think I only managed to read about half, but I lied and told her that I read every one. The last thing I wanted to do was to have her be disappointed in me.Every time I think about what made me into the book-lover that I am, I think back to that spring break, and I laugh.24.What does the author mean when she wrote “I grew up on books”?A.She had many books of her own.B.She had a great interest in reading.C.There were many books in her family.D.She was born into a bookseller’s family.25.After reading The Thief Lord, the author ______.A.became interested in its writer’s worksB.had a better understanding of Mrs DelayC.was presented with the book by Mrs DelayD.went to watch the movie with the same name26.When the author was together with Mrs Delay, her mother might feel ______.A.disappointedB.embarrassedC.relievedD.worried27.Why did the author lie about how many books she had read during a spring break?A.She was unable to finish all those books at all.B.She didn’t want to make Mrs Delay feel unhappy.C.She wanted to escape punishment from Mrs Delay.D.She was afraid Mrs Delay wouldn’t lend books to her.CAs smart devices continue to fill people’s daily life, the debate over their place in the classroom has grown increasingly. Now, a study conducted at the United States Military Academy just might put an end to it.In a recent investigation, researchers found that students who were permitted to use laptops or tablets in the classroom performed worse than those who did not—and those with higher initial GPAs(平均成绩) were most heavily affected.While some argue that laptops aid students in note-taking and comprehension, many say that they couldn’t pay attention to the lessons. To get to the bottom of the issue, researchers investigated the effect of laptops and tablets on student performance in a course at a school.In the study, the class was then divided into two treatment groups. The first treatment group was permitted to use laptops and tablets for purposes relating to their lesson. If the students were obviously distracted, professors could stop them from using the devices. In the second group, students could only use tablets, making the screen easily visible to the professors. When it came time for final exam scores, the researchers found that using a laptopor tablet in the classroom had caused a drop of roughly one-fifth of a standard. The results for the two treatment groups were nearly the same, they say.And, the negative effects were seen most heavily in male students. The estimated effects of the two treatment groups are nearly the same, suggesting that even allowing students to use computer devices in a manner that is controlled by the professor can have harmful effects on classroom performance.The researchers say that both unrestricted and restricted use may affect students in a number of ways. It could lead to distractions, in which students are checking social media or even doing homework for another class, and it may reduce students’abilities to effectively take notes.28.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph may refer to ______.A.the deviceB.the debateC.the classroomD.the study29.Who suffered from the use of smart devices most in the study?A.The male students with higher GPAs.B.The students with poor academic performance.C.The students who could use laptops or tablets freely.D.The male students who could use laptops or tablets under control.30.What conclusion did the study draw?A.The professors had no effect on students’ scores.B.The first treatment group had a rise of the scores.C.The second treatment group did better than the first.D.The two treatment groups both saw a drop in the scores.31.What can be inferred from the text?ing laptops could help students perform better in a course.B.The negative effects of computer devices depended on gender.C.The distraction caused the drop of the students’ scores.D.Restricted use of laptops aided students in taking notes.DEverybody seeks happiness in the world. We will be really happy when we get a new car or a big house or get married… The thing is, if we are continually searching for happiness in the outside world, we will be very disappointed. It seems as if we are forever chasing it and it is always just one step away.Happiness is a short state of mind, just like the state of sadness or joy or anger. It would hardly be possible for us to be in a happy state 24 hours a day. If you think that sounds laughable, think about being at a funeral when everyone is mourning. Would it feel right to go about with a huge smile on your face?What we go through in our lives helps us grow and understand the value of happiness. We need to be able to respond in all manner of ways according to what we are dealing with at any given time. All emotions and states are part of the life.Happiness can be found in reaching out and being in relationship with people. Though time or money may be lost in helping others, these will become our happy memories. Happiness is a dance with whatever in front of you. It is a deep connection to everything around you. It does not come from expecting others to bring you joy but from how you can create joy for others.If you want to experience happiness more often, see what you can do to put a smile on someone else’s face each day and notice how much happier you feel when you have achieved that. Happiness is not to be found in material possessions. It is freely available to everyone at any time. All that is required to experience happiness is that you place your focus on moments in your life that make you smile.32.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A.You may smile at a funeral.B.We should only keep happiness in mind.C.Expression must be fit for the proper situation.D.We can be in happy state 24 hours a day.33.The underlined phrase “reaching out” in Paragraph 4 means ______.A.stretching one’s handB.realizing one’s dreamC.trying to get somethingD.offering help to someone34.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Smiling to others is rarely available to everyone.B.Experiencing happiness is to smile at others.C.Having possessions leads to one’s own satisfaction.D.Making others smile can create one’s own happiness.35.

It also offered tips on picking the fastest line no matter if you’re lining up in a supermarket, a bank or any where else.Picking someone with a full chartUS mathematician Dan Meyer believes that a chart(购物车) full of items doesn’t tell the whole story. “Every person requires a fixed amount of time to say hello, pay, say goodbye and clear out of the lane,” he sai d. And that amount of time is an average of 41 seconds per person.On the other hand, the time that each item takes to be rung up is only three seconds. That means if there are five people ahead of you, each with ten items in their charts, the waiting time will be 355 seconds. But if there is only one person ahead of you ,with 50 items in the chart, the waiting time is 191 seconds. You do the math.Study the customerHow many people are ahead of you is one thing, and who they are is another. For example, if they are old people – and this is not ageist(年龄歧视的)– they tend to move slower and delay the checkout process.The items in their chart are also important. For example, four bottles of the same milk will definitely go faster than four completely different items.Choose a “serpentine line”In some places, there may be just one line leading to several checkout counters. The person at the head of the line goes to the next available counter. This is known as a “serpentine(蛇形的) line”. You should always choose a serpentine line because even if one of the cashiers or customers is slow, it won’t hold up an entire line.Go leftAccording to Robert Samuel, a US science writer, around 90 percent of people are right-handed, which means they tend to go to the right. So heading to the opposite direction – left –will give you a better chance of finding a faster line.21.If there are 6 people before you, and they buy 72 items altogether, then you have to waitabout ________seconds.A. 462B. 318C. 246D. 21622. What we needn’t consider before deciding which line to stand in?A. The number of people before you.B. The quantity of the goods to check out before you.C. What kind of people before you.D. How many left-handed people before you.A. most people are used to choosing checkout counters on their rightB. we should always avoid lining up behind a crowded cartC. 7 cups of the same kind need as much time as 7 different ones to be checked outD. the cashiers and customers in a “serpentine line” are slowB"Selfie," taking a picture of yourself to post on social media, became an official word in the Oxford dictionary in 2018. The idea seems simple, just pose and snap a photo of yourself with your cell phone camera. How difficult could that be?But in 2018 a reported 15 people died while taking selfies. That number has risen each year since then. Thirty-nine deaths connected to selfies were reported in 2018. And, this year has seen more than 70 such deaths.Researchers from universities in the U.S. and India have released findings from the first study of deaths due to selfies. The investigators examined the causes and characteristics o f the deaths.The researchers found that people who take selfies for sharing on social media often have a narcissistic tendency. The report says these people "use selfies as a form of self-identification and expression." They may take selfies in more dangerous settings because they seek greater attention.These dangerous situations can lead to injury, and even death. The researchers define a selfie death as "death of an individual or a group of people that could have been avoided had the individual(s) not been taking a selfie."One example of a dangerous selfie in the study involved bicycle races. People sometimes get on the track to take a picture of themselves with the racing bicycles behind them. Crashes and injuries have resulted. Another example described people standing on train tracks trying to get a selfie as a train moves toward them from behind. The most common cause of selfie death was falling from high places. It caused 32 of the 172 deaths during the last two and one-half years. Drowning was another common cause of death.And it might be more dangerous to be a man with a smartphone. Although women take more selfies, males were far more likely to die during selfies. 75.5% of the reported deaths were of men. About one-third of the 172 reported selfie deaths had a single death while24incidents involved the deaths of groups. Two of the incidents killed seven people each.24. What’s the passage mainly about?A. selfie deaths on the riseB. the danger of taking selfiesC. what a selfie death isD. the causes of selfie deaths25. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?A. A physical state.B. A psychological state .C. A difficulty.D.A camera.26. Which of the following is an example of selfie deaths?A. A man addicted to taking selfies died.B. A taxi-driver died with one of his passengers taking selfies.C. A man fell off the cliff while taking a selfie and died .D. An old lady died from heart attack when taking a selfie.A. selfie deaths are always single deathsB. women are more likely to die during selfiesC. it is dangerous to participate in bicycle racesD.selfie deaths happened in various waysCI worked lots of extra hours my first Christmas season as a saleslady for Dancer’s, the department store in my small hometown. I’d started the job, which paid 85 cents an hour, that summer of 1966 after getting a work permit at age 15. I soon learned how to fit shoes, measure and cut cloth, and keep the shelves of shirts and underwear nice and neat.We closed at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, and at 5:55 a local farmer came in to find gifts for his wife. I knew Mr. Johnson, whose daughter was in my class, so I went to help him. We wandered through the sweaters, dresses and skirts, and nightgowns（睡衣）. We talked about size and color and what I thought Mrs. Johnson would like. After nearly an hour, Mr. Johnson decided on a nightgown with pretty pink slippers to match.By my third Christmas at Dancer’s, I was an experienced salesclerk. Mrs. Johnson had come into the store in late summer, and we visited while I helped her shop. As she commented on pretty colors and design, I made mental notes. When Mr. Johnson made his last-minute appearance on Christmas Eve, I was ready. I told him, “Mrs. Johnson was in not too long ago, and I noticed how much she liked this royal blue sweater. She’d also told me that she really needed new boots. I’d found some perfect boots in her size and had put them aside for Christmas Eve. ” Mr. Johnson was impressed, and I think more than a little relieved. We completed the sale by 6:10 with everything wrapped in paper and ribbons!I worked for Dancer’s three more holiday seasons and was always there just before closing on Christmas Eve, when Mr. Johnson knew I had the answers he needed. Years later, I can well remember he once told me that the big stores in cities had more goods and lovely Christmas fantasies in their window but it’s only in a small town that neighbors take care of neighbors.28. What do we know about the author’s job in Dancer’s ?A. She enjoyed her work in Dancer’s .B. She worked long hours to get a good pay.C. It took her a long time to know what she should do.D. She could also help some customer make decisions.29.What did the author do before Mr. Johnson’s appearance on her third Christmas inDancer’s?A. She talked with his daughter.B. She kept his wife’s need and taste in mind.C. She kept an eye on his wife for quite a long time.D. She looked into the sales record of the store.30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author worked for Dancer’s for 5 years in all.B. Mr. Johnson doubted whether the author could help him.C. Mr. Johnson valued the sincere relationship in his neighborhood.D. Mr. Johnson didn’t believe the big stores in cities had what he wanted.31. What may be the best title for the text?A. My Working Experience in Dancer’sB. Mr. Johnson’s Christmas giftC. Last-minute Appearance on Christmas EveD. Christmas Gifts with neighbors’ considerationDA new ‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf has got heatedly wel comed since lanched. A new ‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf could be a game-changer for celebrities（名流） who prefer to shy away from the stage light. The ISHU scarf is the creation of Dutch-born fashion entrepreneur Saif Siddiqui and is designed to ‘give people their right to privacy back’. A host of celebrities including Cameron Diaz, singer Joe Jonas, Bayern Munich footballer Jerome Boateng and music producer Major Lazer have worn the ISHU after it was spotted at London Fashion Week last year.It works by reflect ing the light back into a camera, effectively becoming ‘invisibility clothes’ for celebrities who don’t want their photo taken.Anyone wearing the scarf is protected from mobile flash photography, with the fashion accessory’s fabric effectively blocking out any unwanted pictures, although it doesn’t stop no-flash photographs from being taken.The 28-year-old Siddiqui was inspired while visiting family in Amsterdam in 2018 when his friends attempted to take a photo of him using an iPhone in front of some bi kes.“He noticed that the bike’s reflector carried the flash of his mobile camera in a way that confused the faces of his friends in the picture,” the ISHU website explains. “He immediately realized that if developed into the right product, this feature would be an ideal solution for his friends and is now available to the public who want to keep their private moments in public private. “Saif put together a team of experts who dug into the science of light and reflection, and how to blend technology with fas hion.”He told Decoded Magazine: “The ISHU scarf effectively allows an individual to control what pictures and videos are taken of him. “There are no more unwanted pictures and videos on Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook! Everyone carries a phone with them nowadays that has an amazing camera. So, it all made sense to me.” More ISHU products are set to launch in August, with mobile phone cases set to launch in the next few weeks. The ISHU is currently sold out but you can pre-order it online for ￡289.32. Why did Saif design the ‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf?A. To help protect people’s privacy.B. To make a rich profit from the celebrities.C. Because the scarf is to get a heated welcome.D. To dig into the science of light and reflection.33. How did Saif get the creative idea of producing scarves?A. He was inspired by the photographs of bike.B. He was inspired when his friends attempted to take a photo of him.C. He was inspired when finding his friends’ picture was not ideal.D. He was inspired while cycling with his family members.34. Which of the following statement might be true?A. The paparazzi-proof scarf can prevent any unwanted pictures being taken.B. There might be fewer unwanted pictures and videos on internet.C. ISHU will be only used to effectively control pictures taken.D. Customers will mainly buy ISHU products online.35.Who might most need the ‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf?A. reporterB. fans.C. photographersD. singers第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AQuestioning the existence of aliens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe.◆TRAPPIST-1TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an "ultra-cool" star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system.◆TitanTitan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone.Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesn't have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature.◆EuropaEuropa is one of Jupiter's moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up.◆MarsThe Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility.We know by now that we won't find little green men or any intelligent form of life thatwe understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.1. The common point of these celestial bodies is that _______.A. solid water exists on them respectivelyB. life might exist on each of themC. they all contain liquid waterD. each of them has living things on it2. Which celestialbody could have life different from human imagination?A. TRAPPIST-1.B. Titan.C. Europa.D. Mars.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Europa is the most talked-about potential candidate for extraterrestrial life.B. TRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.C. All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.D. There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regardedsenior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want toapply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I wan ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no onehad ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebookneeds front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting i s my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed totrade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruitingand within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies tomost workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen toforty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are man ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked byexternal barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create aunique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views ofmany people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the buttof the person above.4. Why did Lori make the call?A.She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B.She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C.She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D.She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.5.What impressed “I” by Lori?A.Lori was good at running recruiting.。

Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary (兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation, breeding programs, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserveanimals, or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves. .Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.8. What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A. To help governments make laws.B. To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.C. To create safe and effective products for humans.D. To educate people to protect animals.9. What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A. Better understand animals.B. P rotect animals’ health.C. C lean the animals’ cages.D. Increase the number of animals.10. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?(P1=paragraph 1; P2= paragraph 2; P3= paragraph 3; P4= paragraph 1; P5= paragraph 5)11. What does the passage mainly present?A. Volunteers’ passion for zoology.B. A new idea of careers in zoology.C. Different types of careers in zoology.D. Effective measures of animal protection.DNEW YORK－A massive winter storm paralyzed much of the US East Coast on Thursday and Friday, dumping as much as 46 centimeters of snow from the Carolinas to Maine.

My fifth-grade teacher, Jody Delay, facilitated (促进) that love of books. Every day during the fifth grade I walked into a room with one wall completely lined with books. Mrs Delay had over one thousand books in her classroom.She started the year off saying that she might give a book to any of us who showed such great interest in it. She had given a book to a student a few years before and I wanted to be presented with a book very much. So I checked out The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke frequently. She never gave me the book, but I developed a deep love for Ms C ornelia’s stories.I refused to watch the movie on principle.My mom had requirements about what I was allowed to do according to what we believed. With Mrs Delay, I wouldn’t have to read anything that made my mom uncomfortable. I would pick up a book, look at it and consider it, and if it didn’t fit, she would gently take it away from my hands, explain to me that it wasn’t suitable and then point me in the direction of a better book.What really made the difference in how I saw Mrs Delay was a spring break. I borrowed a book a day from her during schooldays, so I didn’t know what I would do if I was left without any new books for a week. Mrs Delay sent me home with a pile of books bigger than I was. It seemed to go on forever. I think I only managed to read about half, but I lied and told her that I read every one. The last thing I wanted to do was to have her be disappointed in me.Every time I think about what made me into the book-lover that I am, I think back to that spring break, and I laugh.24.What does the author mean when she wrote “I grew up on books”?A.She had many books of her own.B.She had a great interest in reading.C.There were many books in her family.D.She was born into a bookseller’s family.25.After reading The Thief Lord, the author ______.A.became interested in its writer’s worksB.had a better understanding of Mrs DelayC.was presented with the book by Mrs DelayD.went to watch the movie with the same name26.When the author was together with Mrs Delay, her mother might feel ______.A.disappointedB.embarrassedC.relievedD.worried27.Why did the author lie about how many books she had read during a spring break?A.She was unable to finish all those books at all.B.She didn’t want to make Mrs Delay feel unhappy.C.She wanted to escape punishment from Mrs Delay.D.She was afraid Mrs Delay wouldn’t lend books to her.CAs smart devices continue to fill people’s daily life, the debate over their place in the classroom has grown increasingly. Now, a study conducted at the United States Military Academy just might put an end to it.In a recent investigation, researchers found that students who were permitted to use laptops or tablets in the classroom performed worse than those who did not—and those with higher initial GPAs(平均成绩) were most heavily affected.While some argue that laptops aid students in note-taking and comprehension, many say that they couldn’t pay attention to the lessons. To get to the bottom of the issue, researchers investigated the effect of laptops and tablets on student performance in a course at a school.In the study, the class was then divided into two treatment groups. The first treatment group was permitted to use laptops and tablets for purposes relating to their lesson. If the students were obviously distracted, professors could stop them from using the devices. In the second group, students could only use tablets, making the screen easily visible to the professors. When it came time for final exam scores, the researchers found that using a laptopor tablet in the classroom had caused a drop of roughly one-fifth of a standard. The results for the two treatment groups were nearly the same, they say.And, the negative effects were seen most heavily in male students. The estimated effects of the two treatment groups are nearly the same, suggesting that even allowing students to use computer devices in a manner that is controlled by the professor can have harmful effects on classroom performance.The researchers say that both unrestricted and restricted use may affect students in a number of ways. It could lead to distractions, in which students are checking social media or even doing homework for another class, and it may reduce students’abilities to effectively take notes.28.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph may refer to ______.A.the deviceB.the debateC.the classroomD.the study29.Who suffered from the use of smart devices most in the study?A.The male students with higher GPAs.B.The students with poor academic performance.C.The students who could use laptops or tablets freely.D.The male students who could use laptops or tablets under control.30.What conclusion did the study draw?A.The professors had no effect on students’ scores.B.The first treatment group had a rise of the scores.C.The second treatment group did better than the first.D.The two treatment groups both saw a drop in the scores.31.What can be inferred from the text?ing laptops could help students perform better in a course.B.The negative effects of computer devices depended on gender.C.The distraction caused the drop of the students’ scores.D.Restricted use of laptops aided students in taking notes.DEverybody seeks happiness in the world. We will be really happy when we get a new car or a big house or get married… The thing is, if we are continually searching for happiness in the outside world, we will be very disappointed. It seems as if we are forever chasing it and it is always just one step away.Happiness is a short state of mind, just like the state of sadness or joy or anger. It would hardly be possible for us to be in a happy state 24 hours a day. If you think that sounds laughable, think about being at a funeral when everyone is mourning. Would it feel right to go about with a huge smile on your face?What we go through in our lives helps us grow and understand the value of happiness. We need to be able to respond in all manner of ways according to what we are dealing with at any given time. All emotions and states are part of the life.Happiness can be found in reaching out and being in relationship with people. Though time or money may be lost in helping others, these will become our happy memories. Happiness is a dance with whatever in front of you. It is a deep connection to everything around you. It does not come from expecting others to bring you joy but from how you can create joy for others.If you want to experience happiness more often, see what you can do to put a smile on someone else’s face each day and notice how much happier you feel when you have achieved that. Happiness is not to be found in material possessions. It is freely available to everyone at any time. All that is required to experience happiness is that you place your focus on moments in your life that make you smile.32.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A.You may smile at a funeral.B.We should only keep happiness in mind.C.Expression must be fit for the proper situation.D.We can be in happy state 24 hours a day.33.The underlined phrase “reaching out” in Paragraph 4 means ______.A.stretching one’s handB.realizing one’s dreamC.trying to get somethingD.offering help to someone34.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Smiling to others is rarely available to everyone.B.Experiencing happiness is to smile at others.C.Having possessions leads to one’s own satisfaction.D.Making others smile can create one’s own happiness.35. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By listing examples.C. By giving explanations.D. By making classifications.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ATravelling by car in Switzerland is very easy, as villages and towns are very well marked and accessible. All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads.*LimitationThe speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently. Roadside automatic radar-triggered cameras help enforce these limits. Police are empowered to collect fines on the spot. The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca. 250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Trafficgoing up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads.*FuelFuel stations along expressways are usually open from 6:00 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF(瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards like Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on the oil price.21.What can you know from the text?A. The mountain roads are wide enough for motor-homes or trucks to go through.B. Travelers should try to save time to cover the places of interest in Switzerland.C. Travelers can ride motor-homes to visit Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt.D. In Switzerland people over 16 are permitted to drive.22.What might NOT be available for travelers to pay fuel in Switzerland?A. Swiss FrancsB. Ali-payC. MasterCardD. American Express23. What type of writing is this text?A. Geography posterB. An activity announcementC. Travel journalD. Travel guideBSince I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wonde red “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came across my first Mobike: “Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thought as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that China’s rapid develo pment is bringing out.24.According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.A. Chinese cultureB. Chinese foodC. Chinese peopleD. Chinese history25. The underlined words holy grail in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A. something preciousB. something deliciousC. something expensiveD. something unavailable26. What might be the author’s attitude towards Mobike after it boomed?A. Doubtful.B. CuriousC. Shocked.D. Regretful.27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Chinese ancient wisdom has been replaced by new ideas.B. China is changing steadily and slowly.C. China will always stay as what it was.D. People in China will live a more convenient life in the future.CWith a starting price of $999, the iPhone X has the highest-price of any iPhone ever offered. Yet Apple said demand for its latest smartphone has so far been "off the charts."One of the most-talked about features of the iPhone X is the new front and back-facing cameras. Apple says its TrueDepth technology greatly improves performance for photographs and video. The camera is also trained to recognize faces and expressions. The company says this gives users powerto open up the phone just by looking at it.The new Face ID recognition system replaces the Touch ID on other Apple devices that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone. It works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face of users to create a kind of map. An infrared (红外线的) camera then reads these marks to create an image that can be confirmed as having the same appearance.Apple says the system is also designed to continually learn. Each time the face is used to unlock the phone, it is supposed to note any changes, such as facial hair or the person getting older. The system can then remember the changes to keep recognizing the person over time.Reviewers reported successful tests in which the phone recognized the face in different situations and unlocked the device. But most reviewers also said the feature did not work perfectly all the time.One fairly common failure was that the Face ID sometimes did not unlock the iPhone X if the user wore a certain kind of sunglasses. Not surprisingly, wearing any kind of disguise – even one covering just part of the face – caused Face ID to fail. It was found to work correctly when the user was wearing headphones or a hat.Apple has also admitted that Face ID could fail when used with young people who look very much alike. But Apple says its research shows there is only a one in a million chance of another person being able to unlock someone else's iPhone X with Face ID. The company has promised the system will become "the new gold standard" for all facial recognition.28. How can users unlock an iPhone X?A. By using a fingerprint.B. By taking a picture.C. By looking at the iPhone X .D. By recognizing user’s faces.29. From the text, we know the new Face ID recognition ________.A. will recognize users by reading the dots projected on their facesB. will recognize users by using the dots on their facesC. won’t recognize users when they get olderD. is no better than the Touch ID technology30. Users can’t unlock an iPhone X if they wear ________.A. glassesB. masksC. hatsD. headphones31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Young people can’t use the Face ID successfully.B. The system has become “the new gold standard”.C. A million people are using the iPhone X.D. Apple thinks the Face ID system is very successful.DWhen ordering food only takes a few minutes using a smartphone, it’s only natural that food deliveries have become part of college life. However, a university in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus.On Nov 1, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boxes, both to its campus and dormitories.The ban immediately received fierce criticism from the university’s students, as well as internet users. Some complained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded. “There are not enough seats in the canteen, which forces us to eat s tanding up or squatting,” a student in the university surnamed Tan told Guangxi Television.The crowded canteens also mean that extra time is spent dining, which could have been used to nap during the lunch break. Some even complained that the canteen only provides a few dishes, most of which don’t taste so great.Su Junlv, from the university’s student affairs office, explained that the ban was carried out because off-campus food posed safety risks for students. It’s believed that take-away food had created a serious garbage problem, as there were often a large number of used food boxes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals.According to Su, the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lifestyle. “While food delivery services bring convenience, they let students form some lazy habits,” Su told Xinhua. “They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games, watching TV soap operas and ordering food online.”However, in the eyes of Liu Junhai, a professor at Renmin University of China, there are other approaches that universities could take to improve their students’ meal times. “Universities should explore how to improve the dining experience in the canteens, such as the queuing and variety of dishes,” he told Xinhua.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The convenience brought by food delivery.B. The effect of crowded canteens on students.C. A solution to stop students becoming lazy.D. A ban on food delivery in campus.33. In students’ opini on, what would be caused after the ban was carried out?A. It would take students less time to eat in the canteen.B. Students would enjoy various tasty dishes in the canteen.C. Some students may have their meals without seats in the canteen.D. Students would have a longer nap during lunch break.34. According to Su Junlv, the ban is intended to ________.A. tell the students all off-campus food is unhealthy.B. rid the campus of used food boxes.C. force students to spend less time on entertainment.D. improve the dining experience in the canteens.35. What can we infer about Liu Junhai’s attitude to the ban?A. NegativeB. SupportiveC. IndifferentD. Skeptical第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AQuestioning the existence of aliens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best chances at finding life in the universe.◆TRAPPIST-1TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an "ultra-cool" star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond our own solar system.◆TitanTitan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone.Titan has water, and it has liquid. It just doesn't have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature.◆EuropaEuropa is one of Jupiter's moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up.◆MarsThe Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial life on Mars really is a serious possibility.We know by now that we won't find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.1. The common point of these celestial bodies is that _______.A. solid water exists on them respectivelyB. life might exist on each of themC. they all contain liquid waterD. each of them has living things on it2. Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination?A. TRAPPIST-1.B. Titan.C. Europa.D. Mars.3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Europa is the most talked-about potential candidate for extraterrestrial life.B. TRAPPIST-1 is the only body that contains life beyond the solar system.C. All the scientists do believe that aliens exist in some manner.D. There is proof that life existed on the celestial body Mars.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a busi ness call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I respo nded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.4. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.5. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.CCareers in zoology are extremely varied and unique, and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare. Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary (兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation, breeding programs, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals, or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves. .Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.8. What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A. To help governments make laws.B. To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.C. To create safe and effective products for humans.D. To educate people to protect animals.9. What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A. Better understand animals.B. P rotect animals’ health.C. C lean the animals’ cages.D. Increase the number of animals.10. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole passage?(P1=paragraph 1; P2= paragraph 2; P3= paragraph 3; P4= paragraph 1; P5= paragraph 5;)11. What does the passage mainly present?A. V olunteers’ passion for zoology.B. A new idea of careers in zoology.C. Different types of careers in zoology.D. Effective measures of animal protection.DNEW YORK－A massive winter storm paralyzed much of the US East Coast on Thursday and Friday, dumping as much as 46 centimeters of snow from the Carolinas to Maine.
