I know that this is good news. I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school. I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can stop crying.Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment. "Pull yourself together!" I tell myself. There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shattered?One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys, Matthew and Johnowea. Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my parents' divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was unable to enjoy the day's activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.Now, standing among Matthew's accumulation of possessions, I realize it's me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, "Daddy, I don't think I need a blanket tonight."I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I'll never have to worry about that again, I realize.For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office. And I'm glad. After all, someone's got to be strong. I'm proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.(1) What is the probable meaning of underlined phrase "Pull yourself together"?A. Get up.B. Cheer up.C. Pull up.D. Wake up.(2) What can we infer about Mathew from the text?A. He hates sleeping early.B. He doesn't get on well with his father.C. He is ready for the new life.D. He doesn't value his father's love for him.(3) How does the writer feel about his son's leaving for college?A. WorriedB. ProudC. BittersweetD. Relieved(4) Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Unavoidable GoodbyeB. Sweet MemoriesC. Glorious MomentD. Unconditional Love3、【来源】 2018年四川成都高三二模第28~31题8分CBeethoven famously composed several masterpieces while he was deaf, but surely even he would be impressed with this piece of research.A group led by BCI expert Gemot Mullei Putz shows that experiences of quite a different tone can be sounded from BCI. Adapting from an established BCI method which mainly enables disabled people to write, the team has developed a new application by which music can be composed and transferred (转录) onto a musical score (乐谱), just through the power of thought. All you need is a special cap which measures brain waves, the adapted BCI, a software for composing music, and of course a bit of musical knowledge.The basic principle of the BCI method used can be briefly described:various options, such as letters or notes, pauses, chords, etc. flash by one after another in a table. If you've received some training and can focus on the desired option while it lights up on a screen in front of you, you cause a minute change in your brain waves. The BCI recognises this change and draws conclusions about the chosen option.Eighteen test persons had to "think" melodies onto a musical score. All test subjects were of sound bodily health during the study and had a certain degree of basic musical and compositional knowledge. Following user-centered design guidelines, researchers investigated the efficiency, the effectiveness and subjective criteria. The subjective criteria evaluation revealed that users were highly satisfied with the application. "The results of the BCI compositions can really be heard. And what is more important:the test persons enjoyed TAL#NBSP it. The very positive results of the study with bodily healthy test persons are the first step in a possible expansion of the BCI composition to patients," stresses Mullei-Putz."Twenty years ago, the idea of composing a piece of music using the power of the mind was unimaginable. Now we can do it, but we still need a bit more time before BCI is mature enough for daily applications. "(1) What do we know about the new application?A. It consists of four parts.B. It's impractical for daily use.C. It's based on a new method.D. It's hard for users to handle.(2) What should the test subjects do during the test?A. Watch a screen attentively.B. Listen to the composed melodies.C. Make options by moving their eyes.D. Record their feelings while composing.(3) What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The test.B. The musical score.C. The study.D. The BCI application.(4) Who will benefit most from the new application?A. BCI experts.B. Disabled musiciansC. Music studios.D. Learners of music.4、【来源】 2018年四川成都高三二模第32~35题8分DMany years ago in a zoo, I was shocked by finding that chimpanzees(大猩猩)could behave in a more civil manner than youths while youths could behave worse than them. Great apes(类人猿)are always one of the favourite attractions in any zoo. The main reason for this is that they are so similar to us.This similarity has persuaded a group called the Great Ape Project(GAP) to campaign for these animals to be afforded "human rights" .This has resulted in legislation in New Zealand, which could mean that great apes would become the first animals in the world with basic rights protected by the law.Not everybody is happy with this idea, however. Scientists using animals for scientific research fear that this is just the first stage in a process that will lead to a ban on using all animals for research.The GAP declaration claims great apes should have "human" rights due to scientific evidence about their abilities. But if we compare the abilities of humans and great apes, then why not the abilities of greatapes and monkeys, monkeys and lemurs, and so on until insects are granted “ human rights". This is not foolish. There are people without fundamental human rights. How long ago, for example, did women not have the right to vote?Yet another argument by those who don't support GAP is that the human-like qualities of the great apes have been exaggerated for certain reasons, and that this has led people to exaggerate the similarities but ignore the differences between humans and other great apes.In a fascinating article entitled "What It Really Means To Be 99% Chimpanzee" ,Jonathan Marks points out that, although a human and a daffodil (水仙花) share common ancestry and their DNA matches more than 25% of the time, it is plainly ridiculous to claim that we are one-quarter daffodils.He goes on to demonstrate that, if looked at from one angle, it is true that we are phylogenetically (动植物演化史)apes. But also fish from phylogenetically another angle! "Doesn't sound quite so profound now, does it?"(1) What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A. The experience was unforgettable.B. Chimpanzees are similar to humans.C. Chimpanzees are very popular in the zoo.D. Animals could behave better than humans.(2) Which of the following would the Great Ape Project most probably agree with?A. Animals should be free from any scientific research.B. New Zealand should do more to protect the rights of apes.C. The differences between humans and apes have been ignored.D. Apes have adequate characteristics to be included as our equals.(3) How does the author develop his idea mainly in Paragraph 5?A. By reasoning.B. By giving examples.C. By making a comparison.D. By providing scientific evidence.(4) What point does Jonathon Marks try to make in his article?A. Humans are more than one-quarter daffodil.B. Great apes and fish are phylogenetically similar.C. Humans are as similar to fish as they are to great apes.D. Being 99% genetically identical matters less than thought.第二节、七选五 ( 共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分 )5、【来源】 2018年四川成都高三二模10分(每题2分)2018年四川成都高三二模第36~40题10分Confidence is a skill that many folks want to master, but have a hard time acquiring. Have you ever wondered why? Possibly you were born confident. You were talked to negatively as a child or maybe you were rejected many times.

模拟组合练(十五)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018湖南张家界三模,B)Sometimes we experience pain that seems just too big to feel,too frightening to face—it looks like a tsunami.So,we run.My tsunami came when I was nine years old.I was woken up by my mother’s screams—“Bob!Bob!Bob!”I ran to my parents’bedroom. My father was on all fours,unconscious.My mother was crazy—desperately trying to figure out how to stop what was happening.I ran to the phone—911,the neighbors,anyone—“Helpus!”Soon rescue came,but my father didn’t come back to life.When my friends came to comfort me,I remembered“pulling myself together”as I walked toward them,determining to show them that I was fine.The more I denied my pain,the more I was praised by the adults around me—“Oh,look how strong he is!” So,I kept saying“I’m fine”over and over.I said it enough—performed it enough—that I even fooled myself.I believed that I was okay.But pain doesn’t just“go away”—that whole“time heals” thing is a total crock.30years after my father died,when I looked around for an explanation for all the years of destructive behavior, I couldn’t find the root of the pain in my life because I had covered it up so well.All the“I’m fine”—30years of them—buried the pain of that nine-year-old boy.My pain had been trying to come out,to be heard,to be healed.And,finally,it was.After years of treatment,I found my way back to that night where the pain started,back to the tsunami.This time,I didn’t run.It hurt—it still hurts—but now,when it hurts,I let the pain come.I’m not scared to say,“I’m not fine”—because I know,eventually,I will be.1.What did the author do when his father was in danger?A.He ran out to look for rescue.B.He kept calm and asked for help.C.He offered first aid to him at once.D.He was too afraid to do anything.2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word“crock”in Paragraph5?A.Fact.B.Theory.C.Experiment.D.Lie.3.Why was the author praised?A.He behaved politely.B.He seemed to be confident.C.He could look after himself.D.He could handle the blow properly.4.What lesson can we get from the author’s experience?A.Hiding our pain can be harmful.B.Expressing pain is not very easy.C.Being strong means hiding one’s pain.D.Children are good at covering up their pain.Ⅱ.七选五(2018四川四市第二次诊断,D)Natural sites and historic buildings,when left alone,can slowly be in bad condition.1For these reasons we must protect them.“World Heritage” is the title given to places chosen from natural sites and buildings around the world.These places are considered special and valuable and require protection.They may be places of nature or cultural heritage that are the pride of the people in the country.2Each is a treasure of our planet that must be protected for us and our future generations.Even extremely beautiful natural environments can be in bad condition if they are left alone. 3For instance,the Galapagos Islands are now protected by rules that stop people from bringing or removing plants and animals to or from the islands,moving rocks and touching the animals.Inthe US,people are not allowed to visit Grand Canyon National Park by vehicle.It aims to protect the park’s environment from the gas produced by cars.4Australia is making stricter laws to prevent agricultural chemicals from flowing into the ocean near the Great Barrier Reef.Efforts are also being made to protect Natural Heritage sites in Japan.In Shiretoko National Park,only a small number of people are allowed to walk on its nature path at the same time.5A.They may also be home to endangered species(物种).B.Today there are183Natural Heritage sites around the world.C.People can change these places too,just as the wind and rain can.D.Natural Heritage is valued for geographical characteristics and beautiful scenery.E.That’s why measures are being taken around the world to protect them.F.It can reduce the risk of people accidentally stepping on valuable plants.G.There are even security guards there who can arrest people that break the rules.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.Ⅲ.语法填空(2018四川成都七中高三二诊)Keeping a diary in English is one of the1(effect)ways to improve our English writing ability.2(compare)with other forms of writing,it is3(short)and takes less time.It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English.4we persist in this practice,gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English.In keeping a diary in English,we certainly run up against many5(difficult).In the first place,6often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind.Secondly,there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese.And it is7(extreme)hard for us to put them into English properly.As far as I8(concern),my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach.Whenever something beats us,we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary.We can also turn to our English teacher for help,if necessary.In short,I believe that it is9great use to keep a diary in English for10 development of our writing skills.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6.7.8.9.10.Ⅳ.书面表达(2018吉林长春高三四模)假定你是李华,你校将在暑假期间开办一个留学生京剧训练营(Peking Opera Training Camp),请给你班的美国交换生Peter 写封邮件,告诉他相关信息。

They are almost never recycled, and simply contribute to the great problem of plastic pollution; eight million tons of plastic is dumped into the oceans every year.Plastic straws are now the target of a growing movement to reduce their use. Possibly the first of such campaigns, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only nine years old at the lime.“I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restau rant, it would usually come with a straw in it, and I don’ I usually need a straw,” he said. “This seemed like a huge waste. Straws are made of oil, a precious and finite resource. Is making single - use plastic straws, which will be used for a matter of minutes before being tossed away, really what we want to do with this resource?”Cress started asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived at the time, to stop providing straws automatically to customer and make them optional instead. Many agreed and his request made ripples(涟漪) nationwide. The restaurants that make the switch report a reduction in the number of straws they use between 50 and 80%.The anti - straw sentiment has crossed borders into the UK, where straws have been included in a government plan to ban ail plastic waste by 2042.Last year large pub chain Wetherspoons announced that it would replace plastic straws with paper alternatives across 900 outlets. After theannouncement, many smaller chains and pubs across the country followed suit. According to Wetherspoons CEO John Hutson, the move will save 70 million plastic straws a year and the reaction from patrons has been “very positive”.Offering alternatives or making plastic straws optional, rather than banning them completely, is a common trait among these campaigns. “There are man y other viable alternatives to single - use plastic drinking straws that are less harmful to the environment, wildlife and humans,” said Jackie Nunez, founder of The Last Plastic Straw.24. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Plastic straws are too costly to produce.B. All plastic straws are dumped into the sea.C. Plastic straws are too small to be recycled.D. Plastic straws cause great pollution.25. What did Milo Cress ask his local restaurants to do?A. To make plastic straws optional.B. To stop the use of plastic straws.C. To charge the use of plastic straws.D. To reject the request for plastic straws.26. What is the Wetherspoons’ effort to reduce the use of plastic straws?A. To ban the use of plastic straws.B. To close some of its outlets.C. To offer customers alternatives.D. To seek the government’s support.27. What is the Wetherspoons customers’ attitude towards the move?A. Uncaring.B. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.CNowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel use- less, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many societies.That’s why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organisations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.One successful scheme in France is combining a residential home for the elderly with a creche/nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunchtogether andshare activities such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stones to the childrenand, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (依偎). There are trips out and birthday parties too.The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individualattention and respond well because someone has lime, for them. They also learn that old people are not different or frightening in any way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.28. What is the social problem talked about in Paragraph 1?A. A generation gap.B. Caring for children.C. Intergenerational contact.D. The support for the aged.29. What do the programmes mentioned in Paragraph 2 aim to do?A. Make the old take care of children.B. Help the old people learn new things.C. Encourage the young to care for the old.D. Increase contact between the old and the young.30. What is special about the scheme in France?A. Joining an elderly house with a kindergarten.B. Hiring old people as child - care workers.C. Helping children face misfortunes bravely.D. Using children to accompany the old.31. In which aspect does the scheme benefit the old?A. It builds up their strength.B. They live a healthier life.C. It creates a family atmosphere.D. They are closer to their relatives.DAs self — driving cars come closer to being common on American roads, much of the rhetoric (说辞) promoting them has to do with safety. About 40,000 people die on U. S. roads every year, and driver errors are linked to more than 90 percent of crashes. But many of the biggest advocates of autonomous vehicles aren’t car companies looking to improve the safety of their existing products. Huge backing for self - driving technologies is coming from Silicon Valley giants like Google and Apple.Those of us who have studied the relationship between technology and society tend to look more carefully at the motivations behind any technological push. In this case, it’s clea r that in addition to addressing safety concerns, Silicon Valley firms have a strong incentive (动机)to create a new venue for increasing the use of their digital devices. Every minute people spend on their mobile phones provides data - and often money - to tech companies.At present, digital devices and driving are in conflict: There are serious, often fatal, consequences when drivers use smartphones to talk or to text. Regulators and safety advocates look to resolve dial conflictby banning phone use while driving - as has happened in virtually every state. But the tech companies are taking a different approach. The obvious answer for Silicon Valley is creating an antomobile in which continuous cellphone use no longer poses a threat to anyone.In recent years, the amount of time adults spend on their mobile devices has grown rapidly. At the moment, it’s around four hours a day for the average adult in the U. S. However, that rapid growth is likely to slow down as people run out of time that ’ s available for them to use their devices. Unless, of course, there’s a new block of time that suddenly opens up. The average American now spends about 48 minutes in a car every day, a sizable opportunity for increased cellphone use.So as the public conversation around a utonomous cars highlights the safety advantages, don’t forget the tech industry ’ s powerful desire for more profits, which goes well beyond simply saving us from ourselves.32. Who are responsible for most traffic accidents in America?A. Car companies.B. Tech companies.C. Drivers.D. Self - driving cars.33. What is Sil icon Valley’s motive for promoting self - driving technologies?A. To make more money.B. To reduce traffic accidents.C. To limit the use of digital devices.D. To support car companies.34. What is the present - day solution to the conflict between digital devices and driving?A. Teaching people traffic rules.B. Improving self-driving technologies.B. Fixing digital devices in cars. D. Banning phone use while driving.35. What does the underlined phrase “a new block of time” possibly refer to?A. The working time.B. People’s spare time.C.The time spent in the car.D. The time spent on mobile devices.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。
