A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75.And at Farringdon,a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London,Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune,especially at weekends and during big events.As an alternative,consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile,available for £420 for five days in late September,with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London's ‘Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention,but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your ownpace,saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for twohours)and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes,or £5 per day).The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ______ .A.help travelers pass timeB.attract lots of travelers to the UKC.allow travelers to make flexible plansD.cause travelers to pay more for accommodation"Farringdon" in Paragraph 3 is most probably ______ .A. a hotel away from the train stationB.the tube line to Covent GardenC.an ideal holiday destinationD.the name of a travel agencyThe passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ______ .A.lies on the ground floorB.is located in central LondonC.provides cooking facilities for touristsD.costs over £100 on average per day in late SeptemberCardiff's program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ______ .A.half an hourB.one hourC.one hour and a halfD.two hoursThe main purpose of the passage is ______ .A.to tell visitors how to book in advanceB.to supply visitors with hotel informationC.to show visitors the importance of self-helpD.to offer visitors some money-saving tips37.I was at my parent's dinner table.Before me was a worn journal of thin and discoloredpages.It was my grandfather's journal and now belonged to my father.My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth.I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life's journey.I was now about to enter his world,through the words he had left behind.Withinminutes,I was captivated by the power of the written words.In the magical script before me,I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art,planned,prepared and enjoyed in the company of others,and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱)each other's struggles.All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer's mind andunderstand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today.We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment,and hungry for information.No wonder,there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second.Instead of adding to our collective wisdom,most of these writings reflect the superficiality (肤浅)and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays,but also prevents us from exploring what is truly important.Writing humbles (使谦卑)us in a way that is vital for our character growth,by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life.Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we truly open up to the magic of the world around us.I saw all of this in the writings of my grandfather.And I've seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity.Their writings reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.The author begins the text with her grandfather's journal in order to ______ .A.recall the days she spent with her grandfatherB.present her grandfather's good habitC.introduce the topic of good writingsD.express her great interest in the journalThe underlined word "captivated" in the second paragraph can be replaced by " ______ ".A.puzzledB.frightenedC.attractedD.defeatedIn the author's grandfather's age,people used to ______ .A.live a hard lifeB.care about each otherC.be fond of writingD.teach kids how to cookThe third paragraph mainly discusses ______ .A.the information age we are living inB.the large number of blogs on the netC.people's lack of wisdom nowadaysD.the current situation of public writingIn the last paragraph,the author is trying to ______ .A.discuss what good writings should be likeB.show her reflection on humanity in her ageC.express her eagerness to learn writing skillsD.stress the effects of her grandfather on her life38.For two months,I have been trying to decide who makes the best ice cream.I havenarrowed it down to my four favorite manufacturers:Randolph Farms,Goodies,Disco,and Twinkle.Let's start with Randolph Farms.Randolph Farms makes very good ice cream.They have lots of different flavors,but this doesn't really matter to me.That's because I always get coffee flavor.They make the best coffee ice cream in the world.I've never had hot coffee (the drink)but people tell me that Randolph Farms coffee ice cream tastes just like the real thing.Also,Randolph Farms uses all natural ingredients to make their ice cream.This is a good idea,I think.Second,we have Goodies.Goodies makes excellent ice cream.Like Randolph Farms,Goodies uses all natural ingredients.They only make three different flavors-strawberry,vanilla,and chocolate- but they make them very well.The strawberry isamazing.Every bite of it reminds me of the strawberries that I used to pick behind my old house.The vanilla is wonderful.It is very smooth and has a refreshing,creamy taste.The chocolate is outstanding.It is made with real cocoa beans from Bolivia.I didn't know where Bolivia is so I decided to look for it on a map.After hunting a while,I discovered that it is in South America! That's a long way to go to get cocoa,so it mustbe good.I would say that the only drawback to Goodies ice cream is that they only make three different flavors.Third,we have Disco.Disco ice cream is okay.They don't have many goodflavors.Actually,the only Disco flavor I like is Bubblegum.It is vanilla ice cream with little chunks of bubblegum in it.After you eat the ice cream,you can blow bubbles with the gum.That's pretty fun.Finally,there is Twinkle.Twinkle ice cream is ordinary.The only good thing about Twinkle is that it is relatively inexpensive.You can buy a whole carton of twinkle icecream for ﹩4.50.According to the passage,the author likes Randolph Farms ice cream because it ______ .A.is all naturalB.is made in BoliviaC.comes in many flavorsD.is inexpensiveIn the author's point of view,the only disadvantage of Goodies ice cream is ______ .A.cheap ingredientsB.expensive priceC.ordinary qualityD. a lack of flavorsIn paragraph 3,the underlined sentence "That's a long way to go to get cocoa,so it must be good." implies that ______ .A.Goodies loses money on sales of chocolate ice creamB.Bolivia makes the best cocoa in the worldC.things that are hard to get must be of high qualityD.cocoa from the United States is not very goodAccording to the passage,the author would most likely agree that ______ .A.each manufacturer has its strengths and weaknessesB.the best manufacturers are the ones with the most flavorsC.Goodies is certainly not the best manufacturer,as they only have three flavors D.each manufacturer is good for different reasonsIf the author did decide that one manufacturer is best,which one would he or she probably choose?______A.Randolph Farms.B.Goodies.C.Disco.D.Twinkle.39.Smartphones have been blamed for everything from taking drivers' attention away fromdriving to keeping people on the sofa scrolling (滚屏)videos.But the smartphone that seems to be everywhere could just as easily increase physical activity if it pushes itsowner's buttons in the right way.New research shows that making social connections through activity-tracking apps gets people to move more.And a separate study on this summer's "Pokemon Go"phenomenon shows that the smartphone game got players to take thousands more steps than usual.Together,the studies show the potential for smartphones to push a range of people to be more active.People who linked with friends on the activity-tracking app increase their steps by 400 a day on average over the next week,compared with people who made no socialconnections,according to Tim Althoff and two other computer scientists at StanfordUniversity.The effect of social connections declined,but remained significant for five months before the numbers fell back even with users who made no connections.Such insights show the promise of smartphones and games to help with one of the most stubborn public health problems-that even people who want to be active have troublestaying active.An NBA videogame,for example,gives players extra powers in the game if they reacha step goal in real life.The app "Zomies,Run!" uses audio stories to push people to runmore or run faster.Still,there is room for growth;Only about 4% of all health apps use "gamification," such as point-scoring or competition,according to a study published in October in BM] Open."Gamification is actually quite closely linked with behavior change techniques," says Dr Elizabeth Ann Edwards,the study's lead author and a doctor and researcher at Queen Mary University of London.What does the author think of smartphones?______A.They lead to people's lack of physical activity.B.They do harm to human relationships.C.They can have videogames more interesting.D.They can involve their users in more exercise.According to "Pokemon Go" phenomenon,smartphone users become more active because ______ .A.they have more social connectionsB.they get extra powers in lifeC.the games increase physical activityD. a life goal has been set step by stepWho are most likely to exercise more______A.Video watchers on the sofa.B.Smartphone game lovers.C.People with no social connections.D.People with trouble staying active.How does the author try to argue the ease of smartphones______A.By showing the results of some researches.B.By explaining the functions of smartphones.C.By giving vivid description of some games.D.By analyzing the causes of public health problems.What would be the best title for the passage______A.Smartphones:to Push You to Be More ActiveB.Smartphones:to Take Away Your Valuable TimeC.Smartphones:to Make Your Life EasierD.Smartphones:to Keep You in a Good Mood40.Nathan and Madison Donovan were in the market for a car to drive so she could beginworking at a downtown call center.Nathan has been unable to work since breaking his back in a car accident several years ago,and since the bus system in Moncton,New Brunswick doesn't run at night,Madison needed the car to go back to work and get the small family out of social assistance.When they found an online loan company,they applied for a car loan of﹩7,000.The company required ﹩600 as collateral(抵押品),and the couple spent all their savings in the hope of being one step closer to getting an automobile.Days after they made the﹩600 payment,however,the company's website was takendown.and the couple's calls went unanswered.Heartbroken,they contacted CBC News telling their story as a means of preventing other families from making the samemistake.Fortunately,their willingness to save others "from the scam (骗局)ended up paying off; A man named Denis LeBlanc had been in the middle of trying to sell his 2007 Volkswagen Jetta when he heard Nathan' s story on the radio.Denis and his wife had been trying to sell the car for at least﹩3,700,but they had onlyreceived several lowball(低报价)offers from online buyers.By that time,they had already been considering simply giving the car away to charity - so when they heard about Nathan's situation,they knew just what to do.Nathan was hesitant to visit a stranger giving away a perfectly good car,but when he showed up,the LeBlancs were true to their word.With great gratitude,Nathan simply got in the Jetta and drove away.The good deed had entirely changed his family's fortunes for the better.LeBlanc,meanwhile,was able to teach his kids a valuable lesson about helping others who are less fortunate.What happened to Nathan in the car accident several years ago(no more than 5 words)______Why did Nathan and Madison tell their story to CBC News(no more than 10 words)______What did Denis LeBlanc intend to do after receiving lowball offers for his car from onlinebuyers(no more than 10 words)______What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean(no more than 10 words)______ Would you give away your valuable things to less fortunate people?Please explain.(no more than 20 words)______四、书面表达(本大题共1小题,共25.0分)41.假设你是晨光中学高三学生李津,从校园网上得知你校将在暑假举办去英国牛津大学的夏令营.请写一封电子邮件申请参加.内容主要包括:1.自我介绍(突出特长);2.参加原因(文化交流、心仪大学等);3.希望获批.注意:1.词数不少于100字;2.可适当增加细节以使行文连贯;3.开头结尾已给出,不计入总词数.Dear Sir or

B【解析】考查过去分词,句子已有谓语动词,carry out使用其非谓语形式,与逻辑主语study构成被动的关系,因此使用过去分词,D选项to be carried out表示研究还没执行,因此错误.故选:B.最近北京大学执行的研究表明60%的学生考前焦虑.考查非谓语形式,应判断其与主语是主动还是被动的关系,再确定答案.12.【答案】 D【解析】答案是D.考查不定式作方式状语.句意是:--一切都太美好了,尤其是那里的新鲜空气,呼吸着很舒服.it is pleasant是主系表结构,后面用不定式短语to breathe 作方式状语,来修饰"pleasant",表示令人愉快的,舒服的.故选D.--你认为你的云南之旅怎么样?--一切都太美好了,尤其是那里的新鲜空气,呼吸着很舒服.解答此类题目,首先要明确不定式的用法,然后根据相关语法和句意选择正确的答案.13.【答案】 A【解析】本题考察动词的时态和语态.根据时间状语in the last five years可知应该使用现在完成时,而tall buildings和build之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以使用被动语态.故选:A.我们的城市正在成为一个现代化的城市.在过去的五年里越来越多的高楼已经建成.考查现在完成时的被动语态的用法,分析时间状语成分,判断动词的相关形式是关键14.【答案】 B【解析】强调句型为It is+被强调部分+that….去掉it is和that,剩余两部分加起来应该为一个完整的句子,否则强调句型不成立.见到It is开头的句子,可以假设其为强调句型,用that代入,然后去掉it is和that,剩余部分构成完整的句子则强调句型成立,故选B.当我到家的时候,我才意识到帮助了陷入麻烦的人的感觉是多么美好啊.本题考查强调句型,被强调部分为时间状语,其结构为It is+时间状语+that+剩余部分.15.【答案】 D【解析】答案:D根据"but actually the weather forecast has removed our worry"可知,明天不会下雨,故此处应表示与将来事实相反的假设,因此If从句的谓语部分应使用should+动词原形,故选D---我很担心这次运动会,你认为它被会推迟吗?---如果明天下雨的话.但是实际上,天气预报已经消除了我们的担忧.本题考查了情态动词在虚拟条件句中的用法.在虚拟条件句中,当表示与将来事实相反的假设时,If从句的谓语部分可以是一般过去时形式或were to/should+动词原形.在做本题时,首先应根据句意,判断出此处是虚拟条件句,然后结合以上的用法,选出正确答案.16.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】C 【小题4】A 【小题5】D 【小题6】B 【小题7】C 【小题8】D 【小题9】D 【小题10】A 【小题11】C 【小题12】B 【小题13】A 【小题14】C 【小题15】D 【小题16】B 【小题17】C 【小题18】A

away on the top floors of city centre buildings.

"It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I'll never forget. ”Susan soon learned the artist was her son's surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980 s during his internship (实习期)at a children's medical center, where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages."My first reaction was, ' What is he doing? Hey, that's kind of neat,’ ” Parry recalled. I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork. The smiles took everyone’s attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit. ”.Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients' personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn’t much he hasn't drawn. Most kids want superheroes sports teamlogos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers trees and seacreatures .During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches(伤口缝线) of more than 10,000 children."During a time of stress for families, it's nice to be able to help them smile and laugh, "Parry said. " This is something positive that I can do for them, which is what I like most about it. ”For Parry, the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child’s life, and except for his drawings on bandages, “they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it. ” he said.He's not ready to retire, but he's found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come.“I’ve taken up knitting(编织)," Parry said. "Hats, sweaters, gloves--I enjoy it all. But mostly, I enjoy giving everything away . ”40.Susan burst into tears after her baby's operation because she was_________. A.moved B.amusedC.stressed D.heartbroken41.How did Parry get the idea of decorating children’s bandages?A.He was motivated by his patients.B.He was inspired by his colleague.C.He was required to learn the skill during his internship.D.He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.42.Parry 's artworks during the last 30 years show that he________.A.devoted himself more to art than to medicine.B.knew more about his patients than their parents.C.took into consideration the tastes of individual patients.D.created a large number of works beyond his expectations.43.What does Parry expect to achieve with his artworks?A.To get a reward from the artistic circle.B.To win the admiration of his colleagues.C.To make a difference in his dull medical career.D.To lift the spirits of his patients and their parents.44.What can we learn about Parry from the last two paragraphs of the passage?A.He is eager to show others his new skills.B.He enjoys trying new ways to help others.C.He is looking forward to life after retirement.D.He is more interested in knitting than drawing.Transport has a lot to answer for when it comes to harming the planet. While cars and trains are moving towards greener, electric power, emissions from air travel are expected to increase massively by 2050. If we want big green sky solutions, we need blue sky thinking. Fortunately, there's plenty of that happening right now, particularly the short-haul flights powered by batteries.Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America, flying 30, 000 commercial flights in 40 seaplanes each year. Significantly, all Harbour Air routes last less than 30 minutes, making it perfectly fit for electric engines. “As an airline, were currently in the process of turning all our planes into electric airplanes. ” says CEO Greg McDougall. To make this happen, the airline has partnered up with MagniX to create the world's first commercial flight with an electric engine.Making the skies electric isn't just good for the environment, it also makes sound financial sense: a small aircraft uses $400 on conventional fuel for a 100-mile flight, while an electric one costs $8-12 for the same distance, and that's before you factor in the higher maintenance costs of a traditional engine. There's also the added bonus that electric planes are just much more pleasant to fly in. No loud engine noise, no smell of fuel, just environmentally friendly peace and quiet.While there has been real progress in the e-plane industry, the technical challenges that remain are keeping everyone's feet firmly on the ground. A battery, even a lithium one, only provides 250 watt-hours per kilogram; compare this to liquid fuel, which has a specific energy of 11, 890 watt-hours per kilogram. Carrying adequate batteries, however, would make theplane too heavy to get off the ground. In aircraft, where every bit of weight counts, this can't just be ignored.The transition (过渡) from gas to electric in the automobile industry has been made easier by hybrids-vehicles powered by both fuel and electricity. Many believe the same patter could be followed in the air. Fuel consumption could be reduced as the electric component is switched on at key parts of the journey, especially on take-off and landing.It's certainly an exciting time for electric flying. With companies like Harbour Air taking the lead, battery-powered planes, especially on short-haul journeys, are set to become a reality in the next few years.45.According to Para. 1, what is happening in air transport?A.New explorations of the sky are being launched.B.Pollution caused by batteries is being controlled.C.Efforts are being made to make air travel greener.D.Demand for short-haul flights is increasing massively.46.Why is Harbour Air fit for electric flights?A.It runs short routes.B.It has a strong partner.C.Its planes can land on the sea.D.It has planes with powerful engines.47.The expression "added bonus" refers to the fact that electric planes_________.A.give passengers more pleasant viewsB.bring airlines more financial benefitsC.offer more enjoyable flying experiencesD.cost less in maintenance than traditional ones48.What might be the biggest challenge of electric flying?A.To improve the ground service for e-planes.B.To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry.C.To calculate the energy needed to power e-planes.D.To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes.49.What could be done during the transition from gas to electric in air flight?A.To produce new electric components.B.To increase battery consumption.C.To use mixed-power technology.D.To expand the landing field.50.What is the author's attitude towards the prospect of electric flying?A.Short-sighted. B.Wait-and-see.C.Optimistic. D.Skeptical.Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history, asking yourself the question "why is history important" is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse(一瞥)into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide.History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.History makes us more empathetic.(具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight(洞察力)into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance(无知). We're scared of the things that we don't understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.History can inspire us to learn more. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism.

and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals.Rooms will be cleaned and bed covers changed at least once a week.You will be given the house key and the host is there to offerhelp and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2,3 and 4 of the transport system.Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的).Zones3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area.It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available◇Continental Breakfast◇Breakfast and Dinner◇Breakfast,Packed Lunch and DinnerIt's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice,cereal(谷物类食品),bread and tea or coffee.Cheese,fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England.Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert,fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit,you must first ask your host's for permission.You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self﹣Catering Accommodation in Private Homes Accommodation on a room﹣only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long﹣stay student.However,it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.(1)The passage is probably written for.A.hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB.foreigners hoping to build British cultureC.travelers planning to visit families in LondonD.English learners applying to live in English homes(2)Which of the following will the host provide?A.Room cleaning.B.Medical care.C.Free transport.D.Physical training.(3)What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Zone 4 is more

projects of the South Bronx,Schone Malliet never ever dreamed of skiing﹣﹣﹣a sport typically associated with wealthy people.Then in his 20s,he found himself at the top of a ski slope in Park City,Utah,having been "dragged there" by his mate of the Marine Corps(海军陆战队),in which Malliet was doing a seven﹣year stint(兵役)that he ultimately parlayed(成功地获得)intoa college education and also an MBA.Despite his strong athleticism,Malliet experienced whatmany adults who weren't exposed to skiing as children:awkwardness,discouragement,embarrassment,and a feeling of not quite belonging.Nevertheless,after Malliet left the Corps for a successful career in business and finance,he gave skiing another shot,and this time,he took hold along with a powerful idea:what ifpeople of color,and especially children of color,had no reason to feel out of place on a ski mountain?Nice idea,but who was going to believe it right?And who was going to pay for all those kids to get to the mountains,let alone have access to the necessary gear,clothing,and equipment?And who was going to pay for the lessons,because anyone who had skied even once knows that you can't do it without lessons?Well,fast﹣forward to 2010,when Malliet a successful businessman,was finally ready to do something to make it happen.To that end,he co﹣founded the National Winter Sports Education Foundation whose mission is to encourage teens,especially teens of color,to get over their fear for ski and go beyond their limitations.Malliet also founded the National Winter﹣Activity Center in Vernonm New Jersey,one of the nation's first non﹣profit outdoor winter environment dedicated to improving the lives of youth through winter activity.Through its program the Center provides instruction,healthy meals,equipment,and role model.Through partnerships with YMCAs,Boys&Girls Clubs,Schools,and other youth﹣serving agencies,the Center served more than 1160 children this past year and expects that number to increase to 2200 in 2018."I know that would not be where I am in life without the guidance i received from those who protected or sheltered me from things that could have gotten in my way growing up.I've invested all my heart in the Center.To be able to run a business and be in the industry I have passion for,while also giving back and actually seeing the excitement and changes in the kids,makes this experience truly mean the world to me."(1)From the first paragraph,we can learn.A.Malliet was excited for his first skiingB.Malliet was a loser without experiencing skiingC.Malliet thought skiing was a sport for rich peopleD.Malliet thought his poor family caused his failure(2)The underlined phrase "out of place" in the passage probably means.A.uncontroversialB.immediateC.dramaticD.unsuitable(3)The main idea of the second paragraph is that.A.Money is likely to be the main reason for teens not going skiingB.Skiing is fundamental for teens academic performanceC.Teens should take lessons in class to learn skiingD.Children of color are smarter than others in skiing(4)What is the mission of the National Winter Sports Education Foundation?A.To encourage teens to enjoy outdoor games.B.To overcome teens' fears and limitations.C.To earn money by holding sports events.D.To provide teens with food and clothing.(5)What is the writing purpose of the passage?A.To analyze the reason why teens are afraid of skiing.B.To emphasize what people should do to change the teens attitude.C.To introduce how Malliet helped teens gain access to winter sport.D.To present a way how non﹣profit organizations are evaluated.27.(12.5分)The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past.With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phones,writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill.However,while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching,many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful﹣﹣﹣both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger,professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington,says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks﹣﹣﹣both on a computer and by hand.The study,published in 2009,found that when writing with a pen and paper,participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study,Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write."Spellingmakes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary,word meaning and concepts.It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas." Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换)"those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen," the study said,Seeing the words in the "mind's eye" helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,says Berninger,but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time."In our computer age,some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks," she said."But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level,they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer."(1)What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?A.The absence of blackboard in classroom.B.The use of new technologies in teaching.C.The lack of practice in handwriting.D.The popular use of smart phones.(2)Berninger's study published in 2009.A.focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.B.indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.C.found that good essays are made up of long sentences.D.discussed the importance of writing speed.(3)Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A.Spelling improves one's memory of words.B.Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.C.Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D.Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.(4)What does "mind's eye" in paragraph 5 mean?A.Window.B.Soul.C.Picture.D.Imagination.(5)What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A.Computers can help people with their choice of words.B.Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C.Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms.D.Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.28.(12.5分)As we grow old,we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to,Yet re﹣readers are everywhere around us.For certain fans,re﹣reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually.One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him,despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re﹣reading.Journalist Rebecca Mead,a long﹣time Englishwoman in New York,first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17.Since then,she has read it again every five years.With each re﹣reading,it has opened up further;in each chapter of her life,it has resonated(引起共鸣)differently.Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads,but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines.These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re﹣reading.Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading,we are concerned with the "what" and the "why".Second time round,we're able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express.As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained,returning to a book "brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers."It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books,if we're fond of making notes on the pages).These texts can carry us back to a time and place,and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.We're changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience﹣by the books that we've discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician,the writer calls upon our imaginations,using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life.A book is a joint project between writers and readers,and we mustpour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what's really strange is that we don't re﹣read more often.After all,we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn't think of listening to an album only once.We treasure messy old paintings as objects,yet of all art forms,literature alone is a largely one﹣time delight.A book,of course,takes up more time,but as Mead confirms,the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.(1)The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to.A.attract the attention of readersB.introduce the topic of the passageC.provide some background informationD.show the similarity between re﹣readers(2)The underlined expression "crack their spines" in Paragraph 2 refers to.A.recite themB.re﹣read themC.recall themD.retell them(3)It can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4 that.A.reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB.readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC.we know ourselves better through re﹣reading experienceD.we will change writers by reading the books(4)The writer indicates in paragraph 5 that.A.reading is an interaction between writers and readersB.writers inspire less imaginations than film directors doC.writers describe the story by using picturesD.reading calls for readers' little attention(5)The writing purpose of the passage is to.A.call on different understandings of re﹣reading old booksB.argue against the mental health benefits of re﹣readingC.bring awareness to the significance of re﹣readingD.introduce the effective ways of re﹣reading old books第III卷非选择题(本卷共1小题,满分10分)第一节:阅读表达(共1小题;每题2分,满分10分)阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求).29.(10分)Six days a week,up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia,my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there.At age 68,he retired from the post office,but he never stopped serving the community.On his 80th birthday,I sent him a letter,noting the things we all should be thankful for ﹣good health,good friends and good outcomes.By most measurements he was a happy man.Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down.At long last,in a comfortable home,with a generous pension,he should learn to take things easy."Thank you for your nice words,"he wrote in his letter back,"and I know what you meant,but slowing down scares me.Life isn't having it made;it's getting it made.""The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid,and all difficult experiences had passed,and we had settled into a comfortable home.No.I go back years ago,when we lived in a three﹣room house,when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet.I rarely had more than four hours of sleep.But what I still can't figure out is why I never got tired,never felt better in my life.I guess the answer is,we were fighting for survival,protecting and providing for those we loved.What matters are not the great moments,but the partial victories,the waiting,and even the defeats.It's the journey,not the arrival,that counts."The letter ended with a personal request:"Boy,on my next birthday,just tell me to wake up and get going,because I will have one less year to do things﹣and there are ten million things waiting to be done."Christina Rossctti,an English poet,once said:"Does the road wind uphill all the way?Yes,to the very end."Today,at 96,my grandfather is still on that long road,climbing.(1)What was the author's grandfather before he retired?(no more than 5 words)(2)What did the author

2020年滨海第二高级中学高三英语二模试卷及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AEver wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth? Ever say to yourself:Hey, I wish that I could do more to help the environment? Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it? Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.●Turn off your computer. By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would, driving to and from work in one day.● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.● Recycle. You had to see this coming. But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.● Don't run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.● Rechargeable batteries. You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries. Do yourself a favor. Save some money and some energy.1. If you don't want to create more CO2, you may_______.A. turn off your computer or open the curtainsB. turn off your computer or ride your bike or carpoolC. make a garden or open the curtainsD. use rechargeable batteries or make a garden2. Which of the following can best describe the function of the first paragraph?A. Main body.B. Argument.C. Lead - in.D. Conclusion.3. The main idea of the passage is about________.A. the importance of environmental protectionB. some ways about how to prevent pollutionC. some suggestions about how to save energyD. some suggestions about environmental protectionBByteDance(字节跳动)Group’s TikTok, an overseas version of Chinese short video sharing app Douyin, faces an existential crisis in the United States, as murmurs of a “crackdown”(强制取缔)from the White House forced the Chinese company toengage in talks on selling its US business to Microsoft.TikTok is the fastest-growing registered global mobile internet app, with more than 100 million users, and its rapid growth, especially in the US, is seen as a threat to Facebook. The US government has long viewed globally competitive Chinese high-tech companies including Huawei as a threat and done whatever it could to crack down on(打击)them in the name of “national security”.The US government has not introduced any specific policy against TikTok only threatened it through a number of unclear statements.According to the latest media reports, Microsoft is prepared to press ahead withthe negotiations to take over TikTok’s US operations and complete the negotiations by Sept 15, following talks between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and US President Donald Trump.This means that TikTok will have to hand its fate over to some unpredictable power, and even have to sell its assets without the option of setting a price.The US government has failed to find a reasonable legal excuse to deal with TikTok. All private data of TikTok’s US users are stored in the US and are unlikely to be transferred. Considering the US government is trying to deal with TikTok in a political way, TikTok should consider incorporating(合并)the dispute into the US legal process to assert(坚持)its legal rights and interests.TiKTok’s core value lies in its unique algorithms,a product of artificial intelligence that represents the expertise of Chinese engineers and programmers with high-value intellectual property.The US government’s move, which has forced ByteDance to sell TikTok to a US company, is similar to a forced technology transfer and an example of the US’ openseizureof Chinese intellectual property.If ByteDance sells TikTok to a US company for “security reasons", that would set a dangerous precedent, motivating other countries where TikTok operates to follow the US administration's example and cause a chain reaction.ByteDance is a young Chinese private company that cannot deal with a political game played by the US. But as a Chinese company that has gone global, ByteDance has reasons to take up legal means to defend its legal rights. The Chinese government can also consider examining whether the technology transfer in the deal violates China’s law and harms the country’s national interests.4. What is the most valuable as for TikTok?A. Its global popularity.B. Its artificial intelligence.C. Its registered global mobile internet app.D. Its private data of TikTok’s worldwide users.5. Why does the American government force the Chinese company to hand over TikTok’s US operations to a US company?A. Out of so-called political reasons.B. Out of so-called debt reasons.C. Out of so-called technical reasons.D. Out of so-called security reasons.6. What does the underlined word “seizure”probably mean in Para. 8?A. An untrue spoken statement about someone.B. The use of legal authority to take sth from sb.C. The crime of stealing sth from a person or place.D. The act of trying to hurt somebody using physical violence.7. What can be the best title for the news report?A. TikTok must defend its rights legallyB. TikTok is seen as a threat to FacebookC. ByteDance has to sell TikTok to a US companyD. ByteDance agrees to transfer technologyCWhy isn’t science better? Look at career incentive(激励).There are oftensubstantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good. Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents. Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis. And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.All too often, however, what should be just isn’t so. In a number of scientific fields, published findings turnout not toreplicate(复制), or to have smaller effects than, what was initially claimed. Plenty of science does replicate — meaning the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them -but the amount that doesn’t is too much for comfort.But there are also waysin which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong. Running studies with small samples, mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment’s results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.It’s not like we don't know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls ondeaf ears.Why? Why aren't scientific methods better than they are? In a word: incentives. But perhaps not in the way you think.In the 1970s, psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making. For example, when public schools are evaluated by students’ performance on standardized tests, teachers respond by teaching “to the test”. In turn, the test serves largely as of how well the school can prepare students for the test.We can see this principle—often summarized as “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”—playing out in the realm of research. Science is a competitive enterprise. There are far more credentialed (授以证书的) scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions. Once someone acquires a research position, there is additional competition for tenure grant funding, and support and placement for graduate students. Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. How do you tell if someone is a good scientist?An oft-used metric is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different. Unfortunately, this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals, we might expect them to actively try to game the system. And certainly, some do—as seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud(欺诈). If malicious fraud is the prime concern, then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest. The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.8. Which of the following is TRUE about the general trend in scientific field?A. Scientists are persistently devoted to exploration of reality.B. The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.C. Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments' results.D. The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.9. What doesdeaf earsin the fourth paragraph probably refer to?A. The public.B. The incentive initiators.C. The peer researchers.D. The high-impact journal editors.10. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.B. Competition for resources inspires researchers to work in a more skeptical way.C. All the credentialed scholars and researchers will not take up university professorships.D. The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.11. According to the author, what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research?A. High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.B. The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud.C. Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.D. Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.DAlaska—The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged public buildings, homes and roads.The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to slake. But there have been no reports of deaths, serious injuries or damage. Officials say the quake has not affected transportation of food and her supplies. “The ships are coming in on schedule, the supply lines are at this point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake. It connects the state's largest city to other parts in the north. Traffic has been heavy and slow—moving since the quake. Drivers are being guided. Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1, 700 aftershocks. “Anything that moves, you feel terrified”said David, whose home suffered structural(结构)damage, including a sunken foundation(地基). Actually, Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9. 2 earthquake in 1964. That was the second most powerful earthquake on record.Government officials said a public health center promises that moneyfor medical treatment will continue to come. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week. "The chance is very small, but its not impossible, ” said the expert, Paul Caruso.12. What was the result of the earthquake?A. Buildings were damaged.B. Food supply was cut off.C. Many people were killedD. The ships could not come in.13. Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?A. Because small quakes hit the city.B. Because falling rocks are a danger.C.

It will be safe in the 1th week after the quake.D. There is no possibility for more quakes.15. Where can your possibly read the passage?A. Ina story book.B. In a travel journal.C. In a poster.D. In a newspaper.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020年滨海第一中学高三英语模拟试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you had the opportunity to live forever, would you take it? Keeping your body alive indefinitely still seems like an impossibility, but some scientists think that digital technology may have the answer: creating a digital copy of your “self” and keeping it “alive” online long after your physical body has ceased to function.In effect, the proposal is to clone a person electronically. Unlike the familiar physical clones — children that have identical features as their parents, but that are completely separate organisms with a separate life — your electronic clone would believe itself to be you. How might this be possible? The first step would be to mapthe brain.How? One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology (纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil — one of the kings of artificial intelligence — predicts that within two or three decades we will have nano transmitters that can be put into the bloodstream. Inthe capillaries (毛细血管) of the brain, they would line up alongside the neurons and detect the details of the cerebral (大脑的) electronic activity. They would be able to send that information to a receiver inside a special helmet, so there would be no need for any wires sticking out of the head.As a further step, Ray Kurzweil also imagines the nano transmitters being able to connect you to a world of virtual reality on the Internet, similar to what was shown in the film “Matrix”. With the nano transmitters in place, by thought alone, you could log on to the Internet and instead of the pictures coming up on your screen, they would play inside your mind. Rather than send your friends e-mails you would agree to meet up on some virtual tropical beach.Some peoplebelieve that they can enjoy life after death. But why wait for that when you could have a shot of nanobots (纳米机器人) and upload your brain onto the Internet and live forever as a virtual surfer?One snag: to exist on the net you will have to have your neural network parked on the computer of a web-hosting company. These companies want real money in real bank accounts every year or they will wipe your bit of the hard disc and sell the space to someone else. With your body six feet underground how will you pay?1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Nano transmitters can help map the human brain.B. Electronic clones recreate the original human body.C. Electronic clones may put their physical selves into movies.D. Nano transmitters use a helmet to detect the cerebral activities.2. What is the author’s attitude towards electronic clones?A. Optimistic and careful.B. Interested and unconvinced.C. Excited and confused.D. Assured and critical.3. The author asks “how will you pay?” at the end of the article, because ________.A. you can’t pay to exist on the Internet if you are physically deadB. you can’t pay for hard disc space if you don’t have a bank accountC. you can’t pay for a special service if too many people want to use itD.you can’t pay the web-hosting company if you don’t have a neural networkBSimply being quiet is a growing appeal. Lots of business have appeared to meet a rising demand for quiet time, from silent weekend getaways to silent dining, silent reading parties and even silent dating. Silence can mean different things to different people. We are usually silent only with those closest to us. So there is something almost radical(不同凡响的)about the recent trend towards enjoying silence with strangers.Mariel started a regular silent reading party inDundeejust under a year ago. Readers bring their books and meet in a bar, where they read together in silence for an hour or sometimes two and then put their books away to chat and have a drink. “When the reading party starts, everything goes quiet,” says Mariel, “ It’s a little bit surreal (超现实的), especially in what is usually a noisy bar. However, there is something special about sharing the silence with others. It offers a chance to escape from reality; everyone is so busy with work and with technology being ever present. An event like thisgives people the opportunity to escape these things for a while.”Honi Ryan is an artist based inBerlinwho began hosting silent dinner back in 2006. The rules of the dinner are: no talking, no using your voice, no reading or writing, trying to make as little noise as possible, not connecting with technology, and staying for at least two hours. So far she has taken her silent dinner project toMexico, theUS,AustraliaandChina. “It’s evident that the age-old connections we make over food do not depend on the words around it. Silence creates the space for the people and places involved to fill with whatever is needed;itis quite different from our usual social behaviors.”4. Why have lots of silent businesses appeared?A. To satisfy people’s demand for silence.B. To make people get close to each other.C. To appeal to young people.D. To change people’s old way of life.5. What can we learn about Mariel’s silent reading parties?A. Readers can use their voice while reading.B. Readers can be busy with their work.C. Readers can connect with technology.D. Readers can chat and drink after reading.6. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. noiseB. spaceC. silenceD. food7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Escape from Reality.B. Enjoying Being Quiet.C. Silent Reading Parties.D. Silent Dining Projects.CYour house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less selfconscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the color1 s. Research suggests warm color1 s fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm color1 s like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold color1 s make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makesyou less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12inch plate instead of a 10inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.8. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD.healthy diets9. A home environment in blue can help people ______________.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites10. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Waysof Serving DinnerC. Effects of SelfConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?DThe idea came to him when he least expected it. Alvin Irby was at a barbershop when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a bored look on his face. That’s when Irby realized that by pairing barbershops and books, he might be able to inspire young boys to read.Alvin Irby, a former kindergarten and first-grade teacher, knows how important it is for young children to read. He also knows that young boys in particular often don’t have adult male role models who inspire them to read. “Many young boys may literally never see a man reading in school during the years when they’re learning to read because there are so few male elementary school teachers,” Irby toldMashable.That’s where the barbershops come in. Four years ago, Irby launched Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the hands of young boys, but also to create community reading spaces in a place where kids go frequently. Since itsinceptionin 2013, the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states throughout the United States.Irby isn’t the first person to see the connection between barbershops and books and boys. Hair stylist Courtney Holmes, launched a program a few years ago offering free haircuts to kids as long as they read to him while he cuts their hair.That’s the kind of environment that Irby wants to promote with his program. The reading spaces created by Barbershop Books help to spark an interest in books by showing kids that reading is about more than just spelling and vocabulary skills, it’s about making reading a low-stress activity that can help them relax, laugh and have fun.“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading experiences early and often for young boys, then they will choose to read for fun,” Irby noted, adding, “This is really what Barbershop Books is about, getting young boys to say three words: I’m a reader.”12. What happened to Alvin when he was at a barbershop?A. He found it easy for young people to get bored.B. He offered a barbershop to his former student.C. He thought of a way to encourage young readers.D. He realized the importance of reading for young boys.13. What is the function of Barbershop Books?A. To attract more customers who love films.B. To provide free haircuts to book lovers.C. To show the influence of reading on children.D. To create a reading environment fbr children.14. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. reading is a low-stress activity that is relaxingB. Barbershop Books is only suitable for young boysC. Irby attaches great importance to school educationD. Barbershop Books can arouse (引起) young people’s interest in reading15. What does the underlined word “inception” in the 3rdparagraph mean?A. discovery.B. success.C. popularity.D. beginning.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年天津市滨海七所重点学校联考高考英语模拟试卷(1月份)一、阅读理解(本大题共20小题,共40.0分)AAs the Nation's Capital City,Washington,DC has hundreds of wonderful museums to visit.Here are some of the most famous ones.Smithsonian National Museum of Natural HistoryThere is something for everyone at this world-known museum.Natural history is good for all ages and there are so many artifacts (史前古器物)that you can't possibly see them all in one visit.The dinosaur exhibits are fascinating and great for kids.Address:10th Street and Constitution Ave.,NW Washington,DC;Phone:(202)633-1000Smithsonian National Air and Space MuseumThis museum gives visitors a close-up view of air and space travel with 22 exhibition galleries,displaying hundreds of artifacts including the Wright 1903 Flyer,the "Spirit of St.Louis",and part of the Apollo 11.Address:Independence Ave.at 7th St.SW Washington,DC;Phone:(202)357-2700.U.S.Holocaust Memorial MuseumThe museum is a memorial to the millions of Jews who died during the Nazi regime (政权)in Germany during World War II.The exhibits tell us the terrible history.There is a separate exhibit for kids,which tells the story of the cruelty of the Nazi through the eyes and voice of a young boy.Address:100 Raoul Wallenberg Place,SW,Washington,DC;Phone:(800)400-9373.Mount Vernon Estate and GardensFew people went to the home of George Washington because it is located outside of the city.In fact,it is a must-see attraction.The museum and education center features 25 state-of-the-art galleries and theaters that tell the story of Washington's life.Address:George Washington Parkway,Mount Vernon,VA;Phone:(703)780-2000.Prices:Adults - ﹩18.00;Children aged 6 through 11 - 50% discount off the price.1.If you are interested in airplanes,you can probably go to ______ .A. 10th Street and Constitution AveB.

I said,"When you turn nine,I'll buy you the 3D doll on your birthday." Sondra played with her flat doll for months,makingclothes and furniture for her.She learned creativity.I saved ﹩88.00.6.The passage is mainly about ______ .A. various means of growing upB. funny experiences of a momC. humorous stories about parentsD. different styles of parenting7.The underlined phrase "hover over" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to " ______ ".A. leave behindB. fly awayC. watch overD. set aside8.Which of the following is TRUE of helicopter parents?______A. They give their children proper guidance.B. They try to do everything for their children.C. They teach their children how to face failures.D. They help their children explore by themselves.9.It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that Mom ______ .A. has good parenting skillsB. is always making promisesC. is strict with her daughterD. tries her best to save money10.The author supports her point of view mainly by ______ .A. stating facts and offering adviceB. using figures and giving evidenceC. analyzing data and drawing conclusionsD. making comparisons and giving examplesCIt is always difficult when we are exposed to someone who has a different opinion than our own.When opinions differ,there is often a conflict.This is where much of the conflict with adults and teens begins.Therefore,it is important to always make the difference clear between fact and opinion.Opinions change,facts always remain the same.I have found that it does absolutely no good to tell someone they're wrong.I have found that to be more effective is to help someone see the consequences of their behavior for themselves.If you don't know there is the cliff,why would you ever be concerned about being close to the edge?I dealt with a teen today who was involved in some gangster (歹徒)activities.This girl was raised in a good home with concerned parents.However,other interests have taken over in her life.Friends have become everything.These friends come from different families with different values.This is where the conflict has appeared in her life.The challenge for the rest of us is helping this girl see how and where her new interests will take her.We have felt mild success as relationships of trust are built and improved.In the end,however,the teen has to make a choice regarding this conflict.It is important for adults to remember how serious this choice is.For some this can feel like a choice between life and death.It's easy for the rest of us to be casual about this because the right choice seems so obvious to us.It is important to know it is much different to this young person who is still developing and searching.Therefore,it is important that the adult should do everything possible to help the teen be fully informed about the choice before them.Provide choices and show how making different choices will improve things and provide security for the teen now and in the future.The choice to go with the crowd or with the few can be a very difficult one to make.I believe it is absolutely essential that we never give up on these kids.Our very own future is absolutely at key point any time we advise and guide the youth.11.From paragraph 1 we know the gap between father and son lies in that ______ .A. facts always remain the sameB. opinions are always different from factsC. different opinions result from their conflictD. they have a disagreement about the same fact12.What contributes to the girl's crime according to the text?______A. Different values.B. Unconcerned parents.C. Her poor family.D. Gangster activities13.Adults should try their best to help teens make a choice regarding the conflict because______ .A. the wrong choice will lead to complete failure in the futureB. the choice is difficult to make for still developing teensC. the right choice is easy for adults to see and understandD. the choice made by teens determines their life or death14.Why should the adult never stop helping the teen according to the last paragraph?______A. Because the teen won't give up themselves.B. Because the adults' future depends on the youth.C. Because the adult can give advice and guidance.D. Because the teen's future is in danger.15.It can be inferred from the text that ______ .A. showing the results of their behavior is a good way to help peopleB. helping teenagers always means meeting troubleC. it's quite easy to keep a good relationship with othersD. it's hard to make wise choices in our lifeDI used to spend the second half of Sunday fearing Monday morning.Over the years,little tweaks to my routine and changes in my ideas have changed things to the point that I am in the "I Love Mondays" camp.Here's what I've found that works:Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday.Get everything you need for the morning ready to go.If mornings are a struggle…give it a try at least for Mondays and see if it makes a difference.Once that's done,consider a special "Sunday Night Only" calming down ritual (惯例).It might be tea and a favorite TV show,or it might be a long hot bath and reading until you're ready for sleep.Whatever it is,enjoy this Monday morning warm-up,and consider sleeping a little earlier than you're used to,in order to help with the second step.One of my favorite parts of the weekend is sleeping in and waking up when I'm ready instead of fighting with the alarm for "Just five more minutes!" Sleeping a little early on Sunday night can help with getting up a little early on Monday morning - not to pack more into your morning to-do list,but to give yourself time to take it slowly.When you have a little extra time in the morning,you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week.Find a theme for the week.Every Monday,I post an inspiring quote or saying.These are intentional! Each week,as part of my Sunday night calming down time,I consider what I'd like to focus on in the coming week,and look for a quote that's a good fit to strengthen it.What are you excited about for the new week?What problem-solving opportunities do you have?What's been hanging over your head undone from last week?During your preparation time on Sunday night,think about the week ahead and mark a few things that you want to get done and can reasonably accomplish.If possible,schedule at least one of them for Monday,so you've started your week off feeling successful,instead of feeling like there's a mountain of tasks ahead of you.The work is the same either way,but our attitudes are always within our control.When you are intentionally creating a life you love,Mondays begin to feel less like drudgery (单调乏味的苦差事),and more like a beautiful start!16.The underlined word "tweaks" is the nearest in meaning to ______ .A. mistakesB. adjustmentsC. encouragementsD. problems17.You had better start Monday morning ______ .A. with some morning exercisesB. with a morning to-do listC. by getting thing ready on Sunday nightsD. by getting up early to do more things18.What's the benefit of getting up early enough on Monday morning?______A. It can help you get to your office and start work in time.B. You can have enough time to make a to-do list for the week.C. You can have enough time to sit with your tea or coffee.D. It can make you feel the weekend feeling a little longer by starting slowly.19.What does the author want to indicate in Para.5?______A. Be confident to solve the problems.B. Look for opportunities for the week.C. Positive attitude means a happy Monday.D. Arrange your tasks well for the week.20.What might be the best title for this passage?______A. How to Love Your MondaysB. How Do You Spend MondaysC. Troublesome Monday DiseaseD.

The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein. The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems. Using a small land and giving out less carbon, they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein. Ynsect SAS, a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets, attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie actor Robert Downey Jr. in a round of fund-raising last year.The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed, which is traditionally bought from abroad. The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030. It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then. Presently, less than 20 per cent of Singapore's food waste is recycled.As part of the partnership, Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed seafood for its catering service.4.

Comedy Time.D.Hi, Mom-China’s Latest Hit.DPaper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two important ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills, where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素),which can be used repeatedly in papermaking. Unfortunately, it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills. So far, trees are the only source(来源) of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees. Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be developed.The need is real. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!12. What can we infer from the text?A. The use of recycled paper will double in 40 years.B. Recycling paper helps relieve global climate change.C. Wastepaper can easily break down in landfills.D. There are not enough landfills for wastepaper.13. What makes recycled paper more acceptable?A. The great demand of trees.B. The low processing cost.C. Its dark-color1 ed feature.D. Its improved print performance.14. What does the author propose?A. Punishing the act of cutting trees.B. Recycling paper.C. Improving recycling system.D. Promoting paper industry.15. How is the text mainly developed?A. By analyzing causes and effects.B. By offering research plans and data.C. By discussing problems and solutions.D. By comparing strengths and weaknesses.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

So she set out to work.The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App. Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited lo attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, program and test the app. As for her next app? Medha's notcertain. She temporarily has her app-development ambitionson holdbecause she's busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”8.

To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur.My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxiand volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.12. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?A. Protecting the animals can make money.B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves.C. He is not fond of protecting the animals.D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals.13. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?A. Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes.B. Why antelopes' living places changed.C. Why antelopes' number dropped greatly.D. Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual.14. What does the underlined word “removed” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Deleted.B. Changed.C. Migrated.D. Recognized.15. What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last paragraph?A. They will be over-populated.B. They will be a threat to man and other wildlife.C. They will be on the endangered species list again.D. They will be in harmony with nature and humans.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals.Rooms will be cleaned and bed covers changed at least once a week.You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2,3 and 4 of the transport system.Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的).Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area.It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available♢Continental Breakfast♢Breakfast and Dinner♢Breakfast,Packed Lunch and DinnerIt's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice,cereal(谷物类食品),bread and tea or coffee.Cheese,fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England.Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert,fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit,you must first ask your host's for permission.You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self﹣Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room﹣only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long﹣stay student.However,it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.(1)The passage is probably written for.A.hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB.foreigners hoping to build British cultureC.travelers planning to visit families in LondonD.English learners applying to live in English homes(2)Which of the following will the host provide?A.Room cleaning.B.Medical care.C.Free transport.D.Physical training.(3)What can be inferred from Paragraph3?A.Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.B.The business centre of London is in Zone 1.C.Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre.D.Accommodation in the city center is not provided.(4)According to the passage,what does continental Breakfast include?A.Dessert and coffee.B.Fruit and vegetables.C.Bread and fruit juice.D.Cereal and cold meat.(5)Why do some people choose self﹣catering accommodation?A.To experience a warmer family atmosphere.B.To enrich their knowledge of English.C.To entertain friends as they like.D.To enjoy much more freedom.26.(12.5分)Barditch High School decided to have an All﹣School Reunion.Over 450 people came to the event.There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park.Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days.Ms.Mabel Yates,the English teacher for over fifty years,was wheeled to the Park.Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groan (嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak.Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.Then Ms.Yates started to speak:"I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here.I haven't seen many of you since your graduation,but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies.I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students.AlthoughI haven't appeared in person,I have attended your college graduations,weddings and eventhe births of your children,in my imagination."Ms.Yates paused and started crying a bit.Then she continued:"It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could,some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me.Regardless of our motives,I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.""There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work.You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart."There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping.The clapping turned into cheering,then into a deafening roar(呼喊).Lawyers,truck drivers,bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.(1)What activity was organized for the school reunion?A.Sightseeing in the park.B.Picnic on the school playground.C.Telling stories about past events.D.Graduates' reports in the old building.(2)What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A.Some graduates were too busy to listen to Ms.Yates' speech.B.Many graduates disliked Ms.Yates' ways of teaching.C.Some people got tired from the reunion activities.D.Most people had little interest in the reunion.(3)We can learn from Ms.Yates' speech that she.A.kept track of her students' progressB.gave her students advice on their careersC.attended her students' college graduationsD.went to her students' wedding ceremonies(4)What was Ms.Yates' belief in teaching teenagers?A.Teachers' knowledge is the key to students' achievements.B.Pressure on students from teachers should be reduced.C.Hard﹣pushed students are more likely to succeed.D.Students' respect is the best reward for teachers.(5)Which of the following can best describe Ms.Yates?A.Reliable and devoted.B.Tough and generous.C.Proud but patient.D.Strict but caring.27.(12.5分)The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past.With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones,writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill.However,while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching,many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful﹣﹣﹣both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger,professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington,says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks﹣﹣﹣both on a computer and by hand.The study,published in 2009,found that when writing with a pen and paper,participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study,Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write."Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary,word meaning and concepts.It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas."Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换)"those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen," the study said.Seeing the words in the "mind's eye" helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,says Berninger,but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time."In our computer age,some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks," she said."But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level,they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer."(1)What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?A.The absence of blackboard in classroom.B.The use of new technologies in teaching.C.The lack of practice in handwriting.D.The popular use of smartphones.(2)Berninger's study published in 2009.A.focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.B.indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.C.found that good essays are made up of long sentences.D.discussed the importance of writing speed.(3)Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A.Spelling improves one's memory of words.B.Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.C.Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D.Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.(4)What does "mind's eye" in paragraph 5 mean?A.Window.B.Soul.C.Picture.D.Imagination.(5)What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A.Computers can help people with their choice of words.B.Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C.Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms.D.Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.28.(12.5分)When it comes to friends,I desire those who will share my happiness,who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me.I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮)me and train me up for love.It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours,too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade,I had a friend.We were shy and "too serious" about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors.We said little at school,but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper,and one of us would say:"Let's start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the end of that school year,we,too,were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London,I had a friend.He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair.But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine.We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears,sometimes in a funny way,in the other's dreams.She and I agree that,at certain times,we seem to be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments,I often think:"Yes,I must tell…." We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist,who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.(1)In the eighth grade,what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to.A.become serious about her studyB.go to her friend's house regularlyC.learn from her classmates at schoolD.share poems and stories with her friend(2)In Paragraph 3,"We gave London to each other" probably means.A.our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB.we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC.our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD.we parted with each other in London(3)According to Paragraph 4,the author and her friend.A.call each other regularlyB.have similar personalitiesC.enjoy writing to each otherD.dream of meeting each other(4)In the darkest moments,the author would prefer to.A.seek professional helpB.be left aloneC.stay with her best friendD.break the silence(5)What is the best title for the passage?A.Unforgettable ExperiencesB.Remarkable ImaginationC.Lifelong FriendshipD.Noble Companions第III卷非选择题(本卷共1小题,满分10分)第一节:阅读表达(共1小题;每题2分,满分10分)阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求).29.(10分)A happy person has a longer life,collects more friends and has greater chances of developing successful relationships with people around him.So happiness is an important aspect of a person's life,and how to achieve happiness in life has become an important issue.If you want to find lasting happiness,you must first be at peace with yourself.Are you contented with yourself?Are you pleased with your job?There are probably a number of answers to these questions,but what is the most important here is that you accept yourself for who you are.Think positively.Thinking in a positive manner is also a good idea to achieve happiness in life.Start filling your mind with positive thoughts the moment you wake up.If negative thoughts come to your mind,drive them out at once,and then look for the positive side inevery situation.Stay away from negative﹣minded people,for they will frustrate your mood.You will notice that all the great things are happening around you.Make others happy.Another way to achieve happiness in life is to cheer someone up or make somebody happy.It does not matter whether it is someone you know or a stranger on the street.What is important is the feeling that you get after making others smile and giving them happiness.You will be happy when you see other people smile.It is good that these days,more people start learning how to achieve happiness in life.After all,in the end,a life filled with happiness and wonderful memories is much better than that filled with disappointment and anger.(1)What's the main topic of the text?(no more than 8 words)(2)What is the most important point for being at peace with yourself?(no more than 8 words)(3)What should you do if negative thoughts come to your mind?(no more than 16 words)(4)What's the meaning of the underlined word

increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.)cost £169.15 at Booking.com.A week later,the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid-or you're looking for a big event to pass your time-check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com,which allow you to search for events in the UK by city,date and category.STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train,you may want to find a good base close to the station,but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booking two months in advance,the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95.A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75.And at Farringdon,a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London,Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune,especially at weekends and during big events.As an alternative,consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile,available for £420 for five days in late September,with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London's ‘Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention,but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace,saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for twohours)and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes,or £5 per day).The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ______ .A.help travelers pass timeB.attract lots of travelers to the UKC.allow travelers to make flexible plansD.cause travelers to pay more for accommodation"Farringdon" in Paragraph 3 is most probably ______ .A.a hotel away from the train stationB.the tube line to Covent GardenC.an ideal holiday destinationD.the name of a travel agencyThe passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ______ .A.lies on the ground floorB.is located in central LondonC.provides cooking facilities for touristsD.costs over £100 on average per day in late SeptemberCardiff's program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ______ .A.half an hourB.one hourC.one hour and a halfD.two hoursThe main purpose of the passage is ______ .A.to tell visitors how to book in advanceB.to supply visitors with hotel informationC.to show visitors the importance of self-helpD.to offer visitors some money-saving tips37.I was at my parent's dinner table.Before me was a worn journal of thin and discoloredpages.It was my grandfather's journal and now belonged to my father.My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth.I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life's journey.I was now about to enter his world,through the words he had left behind.Withinminutes,I was captivated by the power of the written words.In the magical script before me,I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art,planned,prepared and enjoyed in the company of others,and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱)each other's struggles.All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer's mind andunderstand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today.We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment,and hungry for information.No wonder,there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second.Instead of adding to our collective wisdom,most of these writings reflect the superficiality (肤浅)and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays,but also prevents us from exploring what is truly important.Writing humbles (使谦卑)us in a way that is vital for our character growth,by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life.Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we truly open up to the magic of the world around us.I saw all of this in the writings of my grandfather.And I've seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity.Their writings reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.The author begins the text with her grandfather's journal in order to ______ .A.recall the days she spent with her grandfatherB.present her grandfather's good habitC.introduce the topic of good writingsD.express her great interest in the journalThe underlined word "captivated" in the second paragraph can be replaced by " ______ ".A.puzzledB.frightenedC.attractedD.defeatedIn the author's grandfather's age,people used to ______ .A.live a hard lifeB.care about each otherC.be fond of writingD.teach kids how to cookThe third paragraph mainly discusses ______ .A.the information age we are living inB.the large number of blogs on the netC.people's lack of wisdom nowadaysD.the current situation of public writingIn the last paragraph,the author is trying to ______ .A.discuss what good writings should be likeB.show her reflection on humanity in her ageC.express her eagerness to learn writing skillsD.stress the effects of her grandfather on her life38.For two months,I have been trying to decide who makes the best ice cream.I havenarrowed it down to my four favorite manufacturers:Randolph Farms,Goodies,Disco,and Twinkle.Let's start with Randolph Farms.Randolph Farms makes very good ice cream.They have lots of different flavors,but this doesn't really matter to me.That's because I always get coffee flavor.They make the best coffee ice cream in the world.I've never had hot coffee (the drink)but people tell me that Randolph Farms coffee ice cream tastes just like the real thing.Also,Randolph Farms uses all natural ingredients to make their ice cream.This is a good idea,I think.Second,we have Goodies.Goodies makes excellent ice cream.Like Randolph Farms,Goodies uses all natural ingredients.They only make three different flavors-strawberry,vanilla,and chocolate- but they make them very well.The strawberry isamazing.Every bite of it reminds me of the strawberries that I used to pick behind my old house.The vanilla is wonderful.It is very smooth and has a refreshing,creamy taste.The chocolate is outstanding.It is made with real cocoa beans from Bolivia.I didn't know where Bolivia is so I decided to look for it on a map.After hunting a while,I discovered that it is in South America! That's a long way to go to get cocoa,so it mustbe good.I would say that the only drawback to Goodies ice cream is that they only make three different flavors.Third,we have Disco.Disco ice cream is okay.They don't have many goodflavors.Actually,the only Disco flavor I like is Bubblegum.It is vanilla ice cream with little chunks of bubblegum in it.After you eat the ice cream,you can blow bubbles with the gum.That's pretty fun.Finally,there is Twinkle.Twinkle ice cream is ordinary.The only good thing about Twinkle is that it is relatively inexpensive.You can buy a whole carton of twinkle icecream for ﹩4.50.According to the passage,the author likes Randolph Farms ice cream because it ______ .A.is all naturalB.is made in BoliviaC.comes in many flavorsD.is inexpensiveIn the author's point of view,the only disadvantage of Goodies ice cream is ______ .A.cheap ingredientsB.expensive priceC.ordinary qualityD.a lack of flavorsIn paragraph 3,the underlined sentence "That's a long way to go to get cocoa,so it must be good." implies that ______ .A.Goodies loses money on sales of chocolate ice creamB.Bolivia makes the best cocoa in the worldC.things that are hard to get must be of high qualityD.cocoa from the United States is not very goodAccording to the passage,the author would most likely agree that ______ .A.each manufacturer has its strengths and weaknessesB.the best manufacturers are the ones with the most flavorsC.Goodies is certainly not the best manufacturer,as they only have three flavors D.each manufacturer is good for different reasonsIf the author did decide that one manufacturer is best,which one would he or she probably choose?______A.Randolph Farms.B.Goodies.C.Disco.D.Twinkle.39.Smartphones have been blamed for everything from taking drivers' attention away fromdriving to keeping people on the sofa scrolling (滚屏)videos.But the smartphone that seems to be everywhere could just as easily increase physical activity if it pushes itsowner's buttons in the right way.New research shows that making social connections through activity-tracking apps gets people to move more.And a separate study on this summer's "Pokemon Go"phenomenon shows that the smartphone game got players to take thousands more steps than usual.Together,the studies show the potential for smartphones to push a range of people to be more active.People who linked with friends on the activity-tracking app increase their steps by 400 a day on average over the next week,compared with people who made no socialconnections,according to Tim Althoff and two other computer scientists at Stanford University.The effect of social connections declined,but remained significant for five months before the numbers fell back even with users who made no connections.Such insights show the promise of smartphones and games to help with one of the most stubborn public health problems-that even people who want to be active have trouble staying active.An NBA videogame,for example,gives players extra powers in the game if they reacha step goal in real life.The app "Zomies,Run!" uses audio stories to push people to runmore or run faster.Still,there is room for growth;Only about 4% of all health apps use "gamification," such as point-scoring or competition,according to a study published in October in BM] Open."Gamification is actually quite closely linked with behavior change techniques," says Dr Elizabeth Ann Edwards,the study's lead author and a doctor and researcher at Queen Mary University of London.What does the author think of smartphones?______A.They lead to people's lack of physical activity.B.They do harm to human relationships.C.They can have videogames more interesting.D.They can involve their users in more exercise.According to "Pokemon Go" phenomenon,smartphone users become more active because ______ .A.they have more social connectionsB.they get extra powers in lifeC.the games increase physical activityD.a life goal has been set step by stepWho are most likely to exercise more?______A.Video watchers on the sofa.B.Smartphone game lovers.C.People with no social connections.D.People with trouble staying active.How does the author try to argue the ease of smartphones?______A.By showing the results of some researches.B.By explaining the functions of smartphones.C.By giving vivid description of some games.D.By analyzing the causes of public health problems.What would be the best title for the passage?______A.Smartphones:to Push You to Be More ActiveB.Smartphones:to Take Away Your Valuable TimeC.Smartphones:to Make Your Life EasierD.Smartphones:to Keep You in a Good Mood40.Nathan and Madison Donovan were in the market for a car to drive so she could beginworking at a

simply giving the car away to charity - so when they heard about Nathan's situation,they knew just what to do.Nathan was hesitant to visit a stranger giving away a perfectly good car,but when he showed up,the LeBlancs were true to their word.With great gratitude,Nathan simply got in the Jetta and drove away.The good deed had entirely changed his family's fortunes for the better.LeBlanc,meanwhile,was able to teach his kids a valuable lesson about helping others who are less fortunate.What happened to Nathan in the car accident several years ago?(no more than 5

is+时间状语+that+剩余部分.15.【答案】D【解析】答案:D根据"but actually the weather forecast has removed our worry"可知,明天不会下雨,故此处应表示与将来事实相反的假设,因此If从句的谓语部分应使用should+动词原形,故选D---我很担心这次运动会,你认为它被会推迟吗?---如果明天下雨的话.但是实际上,天气预报已经消除了我们的担忧.本题考查了情态动词在虚拟条件句中的用法.在虚拟条件句中,当表示与将来事实相反的假设时,If从句的谓语部分可以是一般过去时形式或were
