AMany people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.21. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?A. They find foreign living much easier.B. They have the necessary language skills.C. They love the adventure and exploration.D. They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.22. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?A. Homesickness.B. Culture shock.C. Health problems.D. Lack of employment.23. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?A. Study the local language.B. Go on holidays frequently.C. Learn how to open a bank account.D. Seek out people from their home country.BAustralia loves interesting money. In 1988, it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant.Tilt(使倾斜) the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of “5” changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining, that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them. Their primary purpose was to make it impossible forcriminals to produce their own fake notes.The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money. It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria. To convince the government officials of his idea, Connor started a website that got huge public attention.The government will add this feature to the new $10 bill which comes out in late 2017, as well as the updated $20, $50, and $100 bills that are still being designed.24. Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted ?A. The bird.B. The number.C. The plants.D. The building.25. What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote?A. To make the note more difficult to copy.B. To show the country’s advanced technology.C. To help blind people more easily use money.D. To make the not’s appearance more attractive.26. What can we guess about Australian coins?A. They are different in size or shape.B. They are required in school cafeterias.C. They are more frequently used than notes.D. They are more convenient for young people.27. What did Connor do to persuade the government?A. He wrote a letter to the leaders.B. He organized an online meeting.C. He sought support on the Internet.D. He requested a special Christmas gift.CAt this year’s Technology Forum, speakers include world-famous people, such as Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, and lesser-known individuals with great ideas to change the world. One of the latter is Jonny Cohen, a high school senior, green businessman and creator of GreenShields.Since Cohen was a child, he has been innovating and inventing. When he was 12 and took science classes at Northwestern University, he saw a school bus and had an idea: what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient? This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced. He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents’ garage and placed small metal plates or shields on toy school buses to test them. The result: his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus, decreased wing drag, and produced better fuel economy and less pollution.Cohen went through various experiments to improve his GreenShields invention. With the help of MIT and Cook-Illinois Bus Company, which donated a full-sized bus for Cohen’s experiments, he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach, enabling widespread adoption.How much of an impact can these shields have on climate change? Fuel consumption for the average US school bus is seven miles per gallon. GreenShields increases fuel efficiency by 10-20%, saving about $600 per bus per year, and costs only $30 to attach. Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put GreenShields on all school buses.With almost half-a-million school buses in America using nearly $2.5 billion of fuel per year, a consumption reduction of 10-20% would make a big difference in pollution. Not to mention the roughly $285 million in annual savings on fuel.28. What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text?A. He has produced GreenShields independently.B. He has been employed to improve school buses.C. He is a world-famous businessman and inventor.D. He has a talent for finding and solving problems.29.How does GreenShields make a bus more fuel efficient?A. By reducing the amount of wind drag.B. By improving the quality of fuel used.C. By providing a wind tunnel for the bus.D. By changing the shape of the bus engine.30. Where did Cohen begin testing his shields?A. At Northwestern University.B. In his parents’ garage.C. At a local bus company.D. In an MIT lab.31. What’s the intended benefit of Cohen’s invention?A. To provide school buses with cheaper fuel.B. To reduce the cost of producing school buses.C. To increase the profits of the school bus industry.D. To make school buses more environmentally-friendly.DWe all know the feeling: looking at the computer screen, pretending to be interested in our homework, even though we really feel bored. But such feelings may soon be at an end, says Dr. Harry Witchel, head of the Essex Medical School. He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.Before you get concerned, the machine won’t be reading your mind. It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer. It’s not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一like moving a mouse or touching a screen — but small, barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes，moving in your seat or rubbing your face. Witchel calls these “boredom movements" and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching. The higher the interest level, the less movement!To test his theory, Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks. The activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task) to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.A special video camera followed the participants’ movements as they completed each task. Just as the researcher expected, the “boredom movements" greatly decreased, by as much as 42%，when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately, Dr Witchel isn’t planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school. Instead, he wants “movement sensing” technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students' computer-based learning experience.The scientist says that by measuring the students' interest level as they work, educators will be able to adjust their materials in real-time to keep students focused. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future, help to develop more intelligent robots.32. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Homework.B. A computer.C. Boredom.D. The future.33. Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research?A. To discover how bored people move.B. To find out what makes people bored.C. To see if interested people are more active.D. To test the link between boredom and movement.34. Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to?A. Turning off the machine.B. Typing words on a keyboard.C. Surfing quickly between webpages.D. Moving one’s head from side to side.35. How will the new technology help education, according to Witchel?A. By reducing teachers' workload.B. By maintaining students' learning interest.C. By reporting students' misbehavior in class.D. By making learning more like a computer game.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。

AOne sunny day, an ant went along the bank of a river. It felt very thirsty, so it bent down to drink from the river. But suddenly it slipped and fell into the water. The ant tried to swim back to the bank, but it couldn’t reach it. The current (水流) of the river was too strong.Just when the ant thought all hope was lost, a bird flew by, and saw the ant struggling in the water. Taking pity on the ant, the bird flew down, picked up a leaf, flew over the ant again, and dropped the leaf onto the water. The ant quickly climbed onto the leaf and was saved at last.A few days later, the ant came across the bird who had saved its life. It was resting on the branch of a tree. Suddenly, the ant saw a hunter aiming his gun at the bird. The ant quickly crawled towards the hunter and bit his foot. The hunter cried out in pain. On hearing the cry, the bird flew away. The brave ant saved the bird’s life.6. The ant went to the river to _____.A. play gamesB. drink waterC. have a bathD. have a swim7. What did the bird use to save the ant?A. A branch.B. A bank.C.

Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style.Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it andconnecting it to things we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures.For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to make out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message.Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.·Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing.·Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理).·Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.·Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music.·Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities.·Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences.·Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others.Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.10. From the passage, we know that our brains __________.A. deal with the information in different waysB. send out the information in the same wayC. organize information with our bodiesD. gather information in the same way11. A visual learner usually learns __________.A. through listening and speakingB. by seeing what he is learningC. from movement and physical activitiesD. by linking new information with his experience12. A musical learner will find it easy to learn __________.A. with formulas and principlesB. by working with othersC. through reading and writingD. through music he hears13. The purpose of the passage is to tell us to __________.A. learn more successfullyB. gather more informationC. understand more quicklyD. exchange information betterCZheng He was one of China’s most famous explorers. Towards the end of the fourteenth century, his fleet (舰队) sailed to countries far away.Zheng He had over 300 ships, some of which were over 150 meters long, and could carry up to 1,000 people. Besides, the ships carried gold, silver, silk, china and other treasures to give as gifts to the rulers of other countries. Some ships even had earth on board so that the sailors could grow their crops for food.On Zheng He’s first voyage, he set sail across the Indian Ocean. His fleet travelled many days far away from land. One day, they were hit by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink. Then a strange light appeared and after that, the storm passed. The strange light was probably electricity from the thunderstorm (雷雨), but the sailors in Zheng He’s fleet believed it was a sign of protection from the gods. With the belief, they were happy to follow Zheng He wherever he led them.Zheng He completed seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and strange animals. The most famous of them were a giraffe and a zebra.In 28 years of travelling, Zheng He had managed to share the glory of China with many different countries. When he died in 1435, the stories of h is travels made him one of China’s most famous sailors.14.

It is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States. （36）It is home to nearly 3.000 mural（壁画）painted on the side of homes and buildings around the city. That’s more murals than any other city on Earth.（37）More than 20years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. （38）The teenagers involved helped to create magnificent pieces of art, and there were other, even more important, benefits. The young people learned to cooperate and get along with many different kinds of people during the painting. They learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed. （39）It is hard for anyone to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia and you will find beautiful works of art on the side and fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods, but richer ones as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which show the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.（40）It is also a model for other cities throughout America seeking to help troubled youth.A．How did this come to be?B．What happened to the murals on Earth?C．They also learned to take pride in their community.D．But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known.E．From this some project, something magical happened.F．The program encouraged troubled youth to paint together with their teachers.G．As a result of its success, the murals program has now become the nation’s largest public art program.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空When you give thanks for help, everyone benefits.

But there’s another classical dance form with a long history （61）has only recently burst onto the world scene. It is called classical Chinese dance.Classical Chinese dance is （62）incredibly demanding, refined, and expressive dance form. Alongside ballet, it is also one of the most comprehensive dance systems （63）（know）to humankind.（64）recently, few people outside China had ever heard of classical Chinese dance. One major reason was that when Chinese companies performed abroad, they often mixed Chinese dance with western dance style. And so the audience left the theater not sure exactly （65）they had just seen.In 2006,however,the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company（66）（establish）in New York. Its mission was to promote （67）（tradition）culture, and this included （68）（present）classical Chinese dance in its pure form. Not quite a decade later, classical Chinese dance has become much （69）（well）recognized and is starting to influence western ballet.Although they have significant differences, both ballet and classical Chinese dance have the ability to vividly tell （70）（story）and move us through beautiful art.第四部分写作第一节短文改错（满分10分）71．（10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）,并在其下面写出该加的词.删除:把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉.修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意:1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2．只允许修改10处,多者（从第11处起）不计分.Dear Chris, Are you interested in coming with me to see a famous opera?

AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And vi sitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!Welcome to the Rain Room•The Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away.•This exhibit features advanced technology.

Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region^ governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. £1 Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall,Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding?A. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?A. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27. Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A. It preserves much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building techniques used were very modem.D. It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?.A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced.30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you,you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32. Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. .34. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD. a combination of all three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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

2017年广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试（二）英语2017.4第I卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMany people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas. They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down. However, life overseas is not always easy, and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first, for those who actually decide to move abroad, life is an exciting adventure. They enjoy exploring their new surroundings, and life seems like an extended holiday. They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture. They can even afford to practice their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases, when people consider moving to another country, they often fail to realize how different life will be. As time goes by, they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache. In this stage, the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually, most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them. This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home, such as opening a bank account. This new-found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem. The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country: you will not succeed. If not, you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life youwanted to leave behind.21. Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?A. They find foreign living much easier.B. They have the necessary language skills.C. They love the adventure and exploration.D. They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.22. According to the author, what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?A. Homesickness.B. Culture shock.C. Health problems.D. Lack of employment.23. What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?A. Study the local language.B. Go on holidays frequently.C. Learn how to open a bank account.D. Seek out people from their home country.BAustralia loves interesting money. In 1988, it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes. Now it’s introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!At first glance, the new note looks much like the old one. It has the same pink color and main pictures on the front and back. But look closer, and you will notice a clear window running down the middle, surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses, a type of Australian plant.Tilt (使倾斜) the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill, an Australian bird, beating its wings as if trying to fly away. Turn the bill from side to side, and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins, and the image of “5” changes position. While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining, that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them. Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes.The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money. It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom, enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-oldConnor McLeod. The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas. Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria. To convince the government officials of his idea, Connor started a website that got huge public attention.The government will add this feature to the new $10 bill which comes out in late 2017, as well as the updated $20, $50, and $100 bills that are still being designed.24. Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted ?A. The bird.B. The number.C. The plants.D. The building.25. What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote?A. To make the note more difficult to copy.B. To show the country’s advanced technology.C. To help blind people more easily use money.D. To make the not’s appearance more attractive.26. What can we guess about Australian coins?A. They are different in size or shape.B. They are required in school cafeterias.C. They are more frequently used than notes.D. They are more convenient for young people.27. What did Connor do to persuade the government?A. He wrote a letter to the leaders.B. He organized an online meeting.C. He sought support on the Internet.D. He requested a special Christmas gift.CAt this year’s Technology Forum, speakers include world-famous people, such as Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, and lesser-known individuals with great ideas to change the world. One of the latter is Jonny Cohen, a high school senior, green businessman and creator of GreenShields.Since Cohen was a child, he has been innovating and inventing. When he was 12 and took science classes atNorthwestern University, he saw a school bus and had an idea: what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient? This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced. He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents’ garage and placed small metal plates or s hields on toy school buses to test them. The result: his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus, decreased wing drag, and produced better fuel economy and less pollution.Cohen went through various experiments to improve his GreenShields invention. With the help of MIT and Cook-Illinois Bus Company, which donated a full-sized bus for Cohen’s experiments, he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach, enabling widespread adoption.How much of an impact can these shields have on climate change? Fuel consumption for the average US school bus is seven miles per gallon. GreenShields increases fuel efficiency by 10-20%, saving about $600 per bus per year, and costs only $30 to attach. Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put GreenShields on all school buses.With almost half-a-million school buses in America using nearly $2.5 billion of fuel per year, a consumption reduction of 10-20% would make a big difference in pollution. Not to mention the roughly $285 million in annual savings on fuel.28. What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text?A. He has produced GreenShields independently.B. He has been employed to improve school buses.C. He is a world-famous businessman and inventor.D. He has a talent for finding and solving problems.29. How does GreenShields make a bus more fuel efficient?A. By reducing the amount of wind drag.B. By improving the quality of fuel used.C. By providing a wind tunnel for the bus.D. By changing the shape of the bus engine.30. Where did Cohen begin testing his shields?A. At Northwestern University.B. In his parents’ garage.C. At a local bus company.D. In an MIT lab.31. What’s the intended benefit of Cohen’s invention?A. To provide school buses with cheaper fuel.B. To reduce the cost of producing school buses.C. To increase the profits of the school bus industry.D. To make school buses more environmentally-friendly.DWe all know the feeling: looking at the computer screen, pretending to be interested in our homework, even though we really feel bored. But such feelings may soon be at an end, says Dr. Harry Witchel, head of the Essex Medical School. He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.Before you get concerned, the machine won’t be reading your mind. It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer. It’s not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一like moving a mouse or touching a screen — but small, barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes，moving in your seat or rubbing your face. Witchel calls these “boredom movements" and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching. The higher the interest level, the less movement!To test his theory, Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks. The activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task) to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.A special video camera followed the participants’ movements as they completed each task. Just as the researcher expected, the “boredom movements" greatly decreased, by as much as 42%，when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately, Dr Witchel isn’t planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school. Instead, he wants “movement sensing” technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students' computer-based learning experience.The scientist says that by measuring the students' interest level as they work, educators will be able to adjust their materials in real-time to keep students focused. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future, help to develop more intelligent robots.32. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Homework.B. A computer.C. Boredom.D. The future.33. Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research?A. To discover how bored people move.B. To find out what makes people bored.C. To see if interested people are more active.D. To test the link between boredom and movement.34. Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to?A. Turning off the machine.B. Typing words on a keyboard.C. Surfing quickly between webpages.D. Moving one’s head from side to side.35. How will the new technology help education, according to Witchel?A. By reducing teachers' workload.B. By maintaining students' learning interest.C. By reporting students' misbehavior in class.D. By making learning more like a computer game.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。

It can broaden our horizons, exposing us to ideas and places we never knew before. It’s also a window into history, helping us to understand important events and great minds from the past. Additionally, reading is a great way to entertain ourselves and relax in a way that improves our minds.These are just a few reasons why we should read regularly. I hope that this new reading club will inspire you to read more.Because I want to improve my English, I plan to read three English novels this term. I’ll set aside half an hour’s reading time each day to read at least 10 pages. I’m in no hurry. As they say, “slow and steady wins the race”.Thanks for listening!(130 words)。

Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold．The next scene was a complete contrast(对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen.An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water’s edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”!45. Who is the author?A.A cameramanB. A film directorC. A crowd-scene actorD. A workman for scene setting46. What made the author feel cold?A. The heavy snowfallB. The man-made sceneC. The low temperatureD. The film being shown47. What would happen in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph?A.A new scene would be filmedB. More stars would act in the filmC. The author would leave the studioD. The next scene would be preparedCAt home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, i t’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order t hings like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked ir resistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I tooka gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dugin. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence –“crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little n ervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal?48. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?A. Confusing but amusing.B. Easy to understand.C. Boring and annoying.D. Accurate and helpful.49.

The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________.A. examples and statementsB. comparison and conclusionC. causes and effectsD. time and descriptionDA new effort is being launched to better educate parents about the earliest signs of autism (孤独症). Doctors at Maryland’s Kennedy Krieger Institute, one of the country’s leading autism centers, say they can now ide ntify symptoms in children at a younger age than before.Children with autism withdraw into their own private worlds. Most children are not diagnosed until they are 3 to 5 years old, but the signs can appear as early as 6 months. “Most people use the rule of thumb that if a child is showing developmental delays before the age of 3, they’ll catch up, but children with autism usually can’t,” said researcher Rebecca Landa.Researchers at the institute are showing in a video just what symptoms to look for, even in an infant. In about 30 percent of autism cases, researchers are now documenting what they call “regressive（倒退的）autism”. One boy documented by the Kennedy Krieger Institute was engaged and smiling at his mother at 6 months. When he reached one year, he appeared a little shy, but again, there was no reason for concern. But at the age of 2, he was totally attached to his toys and the signs in him have become more obvious. “Although causes of autism remain unknown, now you can really see autism in its full form,” Landa said.Chloe was diagnosed with autism at 2, when she could not interact with the children around her, and she hated to be touched. But after four months of intensive treatment, her behavior improved significantly.“She is talking now,” Landa said. “She looks to the teacher and shares enjoyment. She looks to others to know what she should be doing.” Chloe will still require many more years of treatment, but these early gains do last.52. Which of the following is NOT a symptom of a child suffering from autism?A. Not speaking to people around him.B. Not making eye contact with others.C. Acting aggressively to people around them.D. Fixing all his attention on the objects.53. What do the underlined words “these early gains” in the last paragraph probably refer to?A. Many years of treatment.B. Researches carried out by Landa.C. The early recognition of signs of autism.D. The cases Landa provided.54. From the passage, we can learn that __________.A. early signs of autism are often unnoticed or ignoredB. more and more children are suffering from autismC. autism can be completely cured if early symptoms are noticedD. children usually develop autism at the age of three55. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Early Symptoms of Autism in Children.B. Parents Should Look for Early Signs of Autism.C. New Effective Way to Treat Autism.D. Researchers Identify New Symptoms of Autism.第二节七选五 (2*5)Do you constantly use the computer, whether for learning or entertainment?
