This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world，with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7：30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night，but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of problems arise because our sleep patterns are not fixed，and they change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to solve this problem，by ensuring teenagers to get their eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their body’s natural rhythms. There has been a general shift over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks，which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Supervising(监管) hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing. And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are thrust into ancient history. And teaching staff also transit from one class to another，with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone involved. Anyway，it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less ofa struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers，it could also mean a less stressful day all around—and what could be better than that?4．How do schools often shorten the school day?A．They increase more holidays. B．They reduce the teaching time.英语试卷第2页（共8页）C．They properly adjust children’s natural rhythms.D．They reduce children’s lunch time and lesson breaks.5．What’s the purpose of the children’s short lesson breaks according to the text?A．To reduce children’s excitement.B．To make children quickly take in what they learned.C．To supervise children more easily.D．To make children behave better in class.6．What can we learn about later school start time from the text?A．It will add to the teachers’ pressure. B．It has always been there for 25 years.C．It benefits the students only. D．Parents may support it.7．What can be the best title for the text?A．The Benefits of a Less Stressful Day B．How to Solve Teenagers’Sleep ProblemC．The Benefits of Later School Start TimeD．The Reasons Why Teenagers Sleep DifferentlyCAs a child, I was generally happy, singing and dancing to my favorite songs, smiling and laughing with my friends and family. But as far back as second grade, I noticed a “darkness” about me. I didn’t enjoy participating in many things.In middle school things in my life began to get even worse. I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed. I was always tired. Everything was horrible. Finally, midway through eighth grade, I was told I had a chemical imbalance, diagnosed (诊断) with clinical depression, and had to take medicine. It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine.When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself, rather than relying on medicine. Aristotle said, “To live happily is an inward power of the soul,”and I believe that this quote describes what I had to do to achieve happiness. Happiness is a journey. Everyone seems to need different things to be happy.“The essentials (要素) to happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for,” a quote from William Blake sums up what I believe people need to realize to be truly happy in life. People need love; I feel they need their family and their friends more than anything else in the world. People need work to do, something to make them feel they are making adifference in the world. People need to know that mo re good is to come in the future, so they continue to live for “now” instead of constantly worrying about the b ad that could come. Love and hope are happiness.英语试卷第3页（共8页）8.

Ways to Overcome ShortcomingsDNeil Jordan, a conservation biologist, has come up with a novel method for protecting cattle from African lions: paint eyes on their behinds. The lions will think their intended prey（猎物）has seen them and will give up, since they've lost the element of surprise.This psychological trickery has been called "iCow", which is actually not as strange as it sounds. The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear masks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers. The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a village in Botswana, when two lionesses were killed by local farmers towith numbers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today.Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds."Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise. They move slowly, quietly, and carefully to their prey, get close, and jump on them unseen," he said. When Jordan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day, he noticed the lion gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study, painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the cattle returned each night, they took a head count to see how many had survived. Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds. And all the painted cows survived. However, Jordan warned that so far this is just a英语试卷第4页（共8页）promising idea. He is now back in Botswana for a more ambitious study, equipped with GPS devices to better monitor the movement of predators（捕食者）and prey.A．kill the lions B．scare off PredatorsC．identify cattle D．have funA．give up halfway B．hesitate to take actionC．chase their prey steadily D．launch surprising attacks14. What does the underlined word "vulnerable" mean in the third paragraph?A．badly behaved B．likely to attackC．easily cheated D．easily damaged15. What can be inferred from the passage?A．Neil Jordan got the inspiration from the patterns on butterfly wings.B．In the 10-week trial study, more cattle were killed.C．The iCow strategy is likely to bring great benefit.D．The farmers will continue to take their revenge on the lions.第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。

AFour books that will inspire you to travel the worldThere's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess W alterThis book by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood's screen.

Because it's about ancient buildings.D. Because it exposes yourself to other cultures.BIt was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then I realized that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked(轻抚) her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. Y ou just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.24. What is the author's wish to his daughter?A. Getting a good job in the future.B. Making many friends in her school.C. Traveling around the world in her life.D. Having a happy life ever after.25. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.B. Living happily ever after seemed out of question to the author.C. There are times that life goes against us.D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.26. How to get happiness in author's opinion?A. Reward yourself once a day.B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.C. Get rid of those disturbing things.D. Take charge of your life independently.27. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To show the significance of love.B. To describe a daughter's growth.C. To introduce the definition of love.D. To tell a young father's experience.CTablets（平板电脑）are useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a b urden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone withthe powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable（可折叠的）phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The V erge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”28. What do we know about foldable devices?A. They are too big to fit into the pocket.B. They could bring us much convenience.C. They have become available in January.D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag.29. What can we learn from Denison’s words?A. The foldable screen has great potential.B. The technology could change other devices too.C. There must be many problems with the technology.D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease.30. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. completeB. properC. imperfectD. normal31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Types of foldable phones.B. The coming of foldable devices.C. Popular devices on the market.D. Difficulties in producing foldable phones.DBlue Planet II's latest episode(一集) focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench，haveplastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic．Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics，plastics used by consumers are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science．We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent．And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者）, at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system．This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage．Anyone can do it．We know how to dispose （处理）of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use plastic products. Things may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag. But when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference．32.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult．B.

集美高中高二英语月考卷（4月）ATower Bridge ExhibitionThis must-see London attraction invites you to step inside the most famous bridge in the world to exp lore,its structure,wonderful views and.glass floor,modern exhibitions and splendid Victorian Engine Rooms!Tower Bridge was built120years ago to ease road traffic while maintaining river access to the busy Pool of London docks（码头）.Built with giant moveable roadways that lift up for passing ships,it is to this day considered an engineering wonder and beyond being,one of London's favourite symbols.It is arguably one of the most famous and industry recognizable structures in the entire world.Since1982,Tower Bridge Exhibition has told the history of the bridge and why it came into existence through fascinating exhibition content.Visitors can also experience the exciting new glass floor and spectacular panoramic（全景的）views from the high level Walkways as well as the Victorian Engine Rooms,which house the beautiful steam engines that once powered the bridge lifts.This must-see attraction is the only way to explore the most famous bridge in the world!Admissions：£9.8for an adult；£4.2for a childAge Restrictions:Child ages：5-15.Children aged4and below are free.Opening Hours:April-September：10:00a.m.-5:30p.m.October-March：9<30a.m.-5:00p.m.Important Info：You can take pictures anywhere on the Bridge or in the Engine Rooms.Visitors areadvised to allow additional time for security checks and lift access up to the Walkways. Entry into the Walkways cannot be guaranteed for a specific time at peak times or during bridge lifts.21.Why was Tower Bridge built120years ago?A.To reduce road traffic jam problems.B.To attract the tourists all over the world.C.To allow passing ships to unload some goods.D.To let passers-by pass through the river more safely.22.What can visitors do while in the Exhibition?A.Run on the Walkways at will.B.Visit the room of Queen Victoria.C.Take photos in the Engine Rooms.D.Visit the exhibition at8:00a.m.in November.23.How much should a couple with their5-year-old son pay for the Exhibition?A.£14.B.£18.2.C.£19.6.D.£23.8BWhen John was growing up,other kids felt sorry for him.His parents always had him weeding the garden,carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers.But when John reached adulthood，he was better off than his childhood companions.He had more job satisfaction,a better marriage and was healthier.Most of all,he was happier.Far happier.These are the findings of a40-year study that followed the lives of456teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not.“Boys who worked in the home or community gained abilities and skills and came tofeel they were worthwhile members of society,”said George Vaillant，the psychologist(心理学家)who made the discovery.“And because they felt good about themselves,others fell good about them,too.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail.Interviews were repeated at ages25,31and47. Under Vaillant,the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores.Points were awarded for part-time jobs,housework,effort in school,and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp.Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people,five times as likely to be well paid and16times less likely to have been unemployed The researchers also found that IQ(智商)and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important.Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility,independence,confidence and ability—the base of emotional health.They also help him understand that people must work together with others and work toward common goals.The most able adults are those who know how to do this.Yet work isn’t everything.As Tolstoy once said,“One can live magnificently(辉煌地)in this world if one knows how to work and how to love,to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”24.Vaillant’s words in Paragraph2serve as________.A.an analysis of how work was related to abilityB.a description of personal values and social valuesC.an explanation why some boys grew into happy menD.an example for parents’expectations of their children25.Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by________.paring different sets of scoresB.evaluating the men’s mental healthC.recording the boys’effort in schoolD.measuring the men’s problem solving ability26.What does the underlined word"sharps probably mean in Paragraph4?A.quick to reactB.sudden and rapidC.clear and definiteD.having a thin edge27.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Independence is the key to one’s success.B.Able adults know more about love than work.C.Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.CComparing ourselves with others isn’t a recent phenomenon—it’s part of our culture*As soon as we’re able to form our own thoughts and opinions,we start comparing.Who’s taller?Who’s better at sports?Who has more friends?Unlike other childish habits,the urge to measure up(攀比)doesn’t ever really go away.In fact,it only increases when we become teens.“At a younger age,I found myself wanting to be cool and wondering why I wasn’t that cool,”said a junior student Michael Torres.“So I began doing what they did in order to fit in with my own friends.”We are flooded with the message that we should compare ourselves with others.Magazines, advertisements,stores—it becomes all about what other people have or what they’ve achieved.Social media adds another layer to the problem.Facebook,Twitter and QQ offer a constant stream of updates about the people around us.She got accepted to Harvard!He bought the brand new Nikes!They’re going to get married!“If I go on Facebook or Twitter and read about how wonderful everyone else is,I’m not feeling good about myself.It’s going to make me feel worse,said Mike Robbins,a senior student.“I try not to let things like that affect me,but in the modem world of technology,it’s hard not to take notice of what others are doing,and sometimes you want to be just like them,”Before you get caught up in the comparison game,keep in mind one very important detail:When itcomes to social media,we often present only the things we want people to see—the good fortunes,happy moments,delicious desserts and best smiles.The deeper question is:Are people really posting things on social media that are true or are they simply doing it to present something to other people?It’s what we do in our culture:“Look!How great I am!”，“Look!How smart I am!”or“Look!How happy I am!”.And sometimes that’s true,but in a lot of cases,it’s not.While comparing ourselves to others can inspire us to get ahead and work harder,it can also drive us crazy.Next time you find yourself wondering if you measure up,remember this:What we have is not a measure of who we are.We already have worth as an individual when we’re born.Everything else is what people think of us.28.When do we start to compare ourselves with others?A.When we go to junior schools.B.When we were born into the world.C.When we have Facebook or Tweeter.D.When we have thoughts and opinions.29.According to the author,why would people like to post wonderful things on social media?A.To show off their lives.B.To get advice from readers.C.To share happiness with others.D.To communicate useful information.30.The author presents the phenomenon of the comparison by________.A.listing a lot of figuresB.giving facts and examplesC.providing scientific findings D,comparing famous people’s opinions31.From the passage,we learn that the author________comparison with others.A.supportsB.opposesC.ignoresD.respectsDIn2015,a man named Nigel Richards memorized386,000words in the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks.However,he does not speak French.Richards’impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works—real AI.Both of Richard and AI take in massiveamounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting.Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next15years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI.In fact,four types of jobs are not at risk at all.First,there are creative jobs.AI needs to be given a goal to optimize.It cannot invent,like scientists,novelists and artists can.Second,the complex,strategic jobs—executives,diplomats,economists—go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data.Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace?Not to worry,as the fourth type is much larger:jobs where emotions are needed,such as teachers,nannies and doctors.These jobs require compassion,trust and sympathy—which AI does not have.And even if AI tried to fake it,nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer,or a robot to babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI.The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them.This must be the responsibility not just of the government,which can provide funds,but also of corporations and those who benefit most.32.What is the main purpose of paragraph1?A.To introduce the topic.B.To mention Nigel’s feat.C.To stress the importance of good memory.D.To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.33.Which of the following best explains“outperform”underlined in paragraph2?A.Be superior toB.Be equal toC.Be similar toD.Be related to34.Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?A.The writer.B.The shop assistant.C.The babysitter.D.The psychologist.35.What does the text suggest people do about job replacement of AI?A.Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B.Get more support from the government.C.Apply for the donation from companies.D.Upgrade themselves all the time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
