2019年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AThe Castle of MonteriggioniLocated in central Tuscany, the Castle of Monteriggioni was built by the Republic of Siena at the beginning of the 13th century in order to defend its southern border against Florence. With their impressive towers, they feature in Dante’s Divine Comedy.Main SightsInside the town are the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, the battlements on the town walls and the small “ Monteriggioni in Arme” museum, whe re there are models and life-size armors(铠甲).Every July within the wall of the town a special event is celebrated: the Medieval Festival of Monteriggioni, one of the most beautiful festivals in the region. The city goes back in time to the Middle Ages, the streets are filled up with people in period costume creating a real atmos phere. Dances, live performances, music, theatre, kids entertainment, storytellers and more entertain the public.The surrounding areaThe townlands of Monteriggioni, with the walled town as their capital, cover an area of about 100km²directly to the north of Siena, full of woods, hills, vineyards and olive groves(小树林). The townlands also take in a large area of unspoiled nature that has been declared a Site of Community Importance(SCI). The area is crossed by a network of trails, including the Via Francigena, which can be travelled on foot which we highly recommended, you can also have a tour by bicycle or on horse-back.How to get to MonteriggioniBY CARTake the “Monteriggioni” exit on the Florence-Siena motorway link.BY BUSLine 130 from Siena for Colle di Val d’ Els a-Poggibonsi-SanGimignano.BY TRAINThe closest station is “Castellina inChianti- Monteriggioni”.Tourist OfficePiazza Roma, 2353035 Monteriggioni(SI)-ItalyTel./fax+39 0577 304834info@ Monteriggioniturism to.it21.

The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancy's house, just one-half block away, paralyzed（麻痹）my legs, making me unable to move when I neared the end of our driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancy's house was one of them.I tried to call out for my daughters hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but my voice was also stuck --- stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two little girls I loved more than even I had realized.Although trapped in a body that couldn't move or speak, I could still hear. I could hear other mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, "We're on our way," it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe.As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street. They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garage next to Nancy's house. Not only did my feet andvoice work now, but my eyes were also in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.24. Why was the author stuck to her driveway?A. She was too tired to move her legs.B. Thick black smoke blocked her view.C. The cement on the driveway was still wet.D. The fear for her daughters' safety struck her.25. What made the author able to move and speak again?A. Shouting from other anxious mothers.B. Strange silence in the neighborhood.C. The alarm of the coming fire engine.D. The courage to protect her daughters.26. What does the author suggest at the end of the story?A. She burst into tears of relief and happiness.B. She was really thankful to see her girls saved.C. She was too excited to believe what she saw.D. She overcame her fear and fully recovered,27. What is the best title for the text?A. Love in FireB. The Power of FearC. A Narrow EscapeD. The Price of FearCMOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere in the world. The courses are flexible – normally three to five hours of study a week – done at any time, short (5 to 10 weeks) and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums(论坛), discussion boards and peer review. Students don't have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certificate of participation.The Open University launched Future Learn, the UK's answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in 2012, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera's partnership, including 13 universities. “We already run 50 online master's degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburgh's vice-president. “It's an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? That's what I call educational R&D.” He adds “If you look ahead 10 years, you'd expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so you've got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they don't carry credits.”Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (专门技能) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, Future Learn's academic lead, goes further: “We've tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You won't just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each other's assignments.”Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with Future Learn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. "There's no reason why someone doing GCSEs should not look at our MOOCs and get quite a way through them, or someone at PhD level and beyond," says Professor Bernie Morley, expert for learning and teaching.28. MOOCs have these features EXCEPT that_______.A. MOOCs are free of charge for anyoneB. MOOCs can be adjusted according to people’s learning paceC. MOOCs provide teachers’ instructions if you have some difficultyD. MOOCs have a platform for learners to share their learning experience29. The response to Future Learn has been thought to be unbelievable because ______.A. all the courses on the platform are available to anyone in the worldB. Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join itC. the number of people registering in the platform is beyond expectationD. students can get a certification of participation without passing assessments30. What can be inferred from Professor Bernie Morley in the last paragraph?A. People with various learning levels will probably show interest in MOOCs.B. People at PhD level have already known everything about MOOCs.C. Inside Cancer will be the most popular course for someone doing GCSEs.D. MOOCs are not so competitive as lifelong learning courses due to credits.31. The passage mainly deals with _____.A. the various opinions on Future LearnB. the advantages of online teaching methodsC. the popularity of no-credit coursesD. the emergence of a new learning platformD“Heaven is where the police are English, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell (地狱) is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.”Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化), but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason”. Is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them? Not likely, an international research team now says.“National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselv es and others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,” said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Aging. “These are in fact unfounded stereotypes. They don’t come from looking around you,” McCrae said.If nation al stereotypes aren’t rooted in real experiences, then where do they come from? One possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. For example, many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism (个人主义) has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.We may be “hard-wired”, to some degree, to keep incorrect stereotypes, since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes. Generally, according to Robins, when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.32. The stereotype about Italians is ______.A. romantic but disorganizedB.friendly and good-temperedC. dreamy and impracticalD. strict but thoughtful33. According to social scientists, National stereotypes are not always correct because______.A. they are formed by individual historiansB. what was true in the past may not be true at the presentC. generalizations are made through personal experienceD. people tend to have false idea about other cultures34. According to the research team led by McCrae, national stereotypes are ______.A. interestingB. harmfulC. humorousD. unreliable35. The underlined word “hard-wired” in the last paragraph probably means______.A. forgetfulB. anxiousC. fixedD. helpless第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019年高考英语模拟试卷第一部分听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AAttractions in Hong KongHong Kong IslandThe site of the original British settlement and the main focus of most tourists.Most of Hong Kong’s highest skyscrapers and the financial center can be found here.Overall，Hong Kong Island is more modern and wealthy and dramatically less dirty than the other areas of Hong Kong.The Peak is the tallest point on the island，with the best views and highest real estate values in the world.KowloonThe peninsula(半岛) to the north of Hong Kong Island，with great views of the island.It offers a chaotic mix of malls，street markets，and residential houses.It has a great view of Hong Kong Island.With over 2.1 million people living in an area of less than 47 square kilometres，Kowloon is one of the most densely populated places in the world.Kowloon includes TsimShaTsui，the location of many budget hotels and MongKok，a shopping district.New TerritoriesNamed by British officials when leased from the Chinese government in 1898，the New Territories contain a curious mix of small farms，villages，industrial installations，mountainous country parks and towns that have the size of populations in some cities.Lantau IslandA large island west of Hong Kong Island.You will not find many peaceful villages，but once you get over the stray dogs and the ramshackle buildings you will find beautiful mountains and beaches.The airport，Disneyland，and the Ngong Ping cable car are located here.Outlying IslandsWell-known weekend destinations for the locals，the Outlying Islands are most of the islands surrounding Hong Kong Island.Highlights include Lamma，well known for its seafood and Cheung Chau，a small island that used to be a pirates’ den(贼窝)，but now attracts seafood aficionados，windsurfers and sunbathing day trippers.21．Where should you go if you want to have seafood?A．Kowloon. B．New Territories.C．Lantau Island. D．Outlying Islands.22．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．New Territories has towns with a large population.B．Kowloon has many expensive hotels and a shopping district.C．Lantau Island has most of the islands surrounding Hong Kong Island.D．Hong Kong Island has the highest skyscraper of Hong Kong.23．Where can this article probably be found?A．A story book. B．A news report.C．A travel guide. D．A science magazine.BMy husband and I used to think we had all we had ever wanted.A beautiful house，three healthy children and one more on the way，two cars，a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment—We really had them all and we loved them.Then，the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone.The company was closing down forever.We both started looking for jobs right away，but there weren’t any to be found.With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through.The more we pulled together，the closer we got.I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt for years.That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation.I continually asked him to stop but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.Finally，one afternoon I pulled him aside and said，“We have four healthy children and each other.That’s what’s important.That makes you a rich man.”“But what if we lose the house？They will hate me—you’ll hate me，” he replied.I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye.“No matter where we live I will be happy—as long as I have you，”I smiled again as I realized that I wasn’t just saying that.In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”．I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed.He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time.It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.We are still struggling for our better life，but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.24．We know from the story that .A．they both found good jobs at lastB．her husband was out of work for his not working hardC．both of them felt anxious about their unemploymentD．they didn’t love each other any longer after they got married25．By saying “The more we pulled together，the closer we got.”，the wife means . A．her husband worked harder for being closerB．they had closer affection as they struggled togetherC．their house was closer to the company than beforeD．they were closer to another employment as time went by26．What is their present life like?A．Hard but warm.B．Wealthy but annoying.C．Hard and disturbing.D．Comfortable and admiring.27．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A．Better Life Comes B．Hard Time GoesC．We Have It All D．We Lose It AllCStudents should be able to show what they know.Many folks take this as a self-evident truth.But I think it demands closer examination.Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it.This is why many smart young people hate school.Understanding，figuring out，and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge is really exciting，but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a big fat pain in the neck.Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of a teacher’s job，and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teacher’s effectiveness.There is a huge difference between “How do I figure out if this student understands” and “How do I make this student prove to me he gets it”. The first is a valuable approach；the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybody’s time.And there’s the problem.If we start with the assumption that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction，we will be traveling down the wrong road.The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff，the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from the skills and knowledge we really want to measure.As a classroom teacher，I have to remember that the burden is on me to find a way to see what my students know；the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show I design for my own ease and convenience.It may not be the worst thing ever to say “Students should be able to show what they know.”But I think it’s far more useful to say，“Teachers should be able to discover what students know.”28．What does the underlined part in the second paragraph mean?A．Very dangerous. B．Very annoying.C．Very difficult. D．Very frequent.29．According to the third paragraph，a teacher should have the ability to . A．discover whether his students knowB．avoid wasting the precious time in classC．apply various approaches while teachingD．give students the chance to prove themselves30．What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test students’ learning? A．They should be limited in number.B．They are a huge burden on teachers.C．They should mainly focus on effectiveness.D．They slide away from their original purpose.31．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Students should be able to show what they know.B．There are many ways to find proof of student learning.C．Teachers should be able to discover what students know.D．There should be better understanding between teachers and students.DResearchers studied the responses of the biggest living animals on the planet to stimulated mid-frequency military sonar(声呐)，which is used by military to detect submarines.By studying 17 blue whales，which feed on large groups of krill(磷虾) in the ocean，the scientists found the giant sea animals would cut short dives for food after a sonar “ping”．The animals also tried to avoid areas where the sonar had been used for some time afterwards.They found that the whales stopped feeding for more than an hour after the sonar，resulting in a loss of around 1,000kg of krill for the animals.The researchers say their findings disagree with the idea that military sonar has no influence on blue whales and other related species of whale.A second study by the same researchers also showed that military sonar caused another species of whale，the Cuvier’s beaked whale，to stop feeding and swim away from the sound.Dr Brandon Southhall，from the Long Marine Laboratory at the University of California who led the project，said，“These findings help us to understand risks to these animals from humansound and inform timely protection and management decisions.”The scientists argue that the influence of “active”military sonar on blue whales must be considered in environmental assessments before military tests.They said they hoped the US Navy，which funded the work，would use the findings to search for ways of reducing the influence of sonar on whale species.Dr Stacy DeRuiter，from the University of St Andrews，who also took part in the studies，said，“While military tests have been said to be linked to whale strandings(搁浅)，we don’t really understand the chain of events that lead to that.The number of strandings also does not match the number of military tests and sonar events，so the Navy wants to understand this more.”32．What did the new studies find about whales?A．They were forced to leave their habitats.B．They were starving because of military sonar.C．They would stop feeding for some time because of military sonar.D．They would find new feeding areas once hearing sonar.33．What is the researchers’ attitude towards the influence of military sonar on whales? A．Worried. B．Helpless.C．Shocked. D．Puzzled.34．According to Dr Stacy DeRuiter，.A．military tests in the sea should be stoppedB．military sonar leads to the death of many whalesC．the US Navy should take action to protect whalesD．further study should be done to find out why whales were stranded35．Where does the text probably come from?A．A book review. B．A science fiction.C．A science report. D．An official document.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

When people adopt domesticated ( 家养的) animals into their families as pets, animals give humans the blessings of companionship and fun in return. In the wild, animals sometimes carry out dramatic rescues of people in dangerous situations, miraculously ( 奇迹般地) sensing human needs and jumping in without fear to help.In 2000, a 6-year-old boy named Elian Gonzalez left Cuba on a boat bound for Florida in the United States, but the boat sank and everyone aboard drowned except Elian and two adults. Elian and the other two survivors held onto inner tube for 48 hours to try to stay afloat in the sea. After a while, however, Elian began to lose strength, slipping under the water and then grabbing the tube again as he fought to stay alive.A small group of dolphins noticed Elian struggling and swan over to him to help. The dolphins formed a circle around the inner tube and took turns using their noses to lift Elian until fishermen working in the area discovered and rescued Elian and the two adults who floated nearby. The fishermen reported that, when they discovered Elian, he was repeating a prayer that his mother had taught him before drowning, asking guardian angels to protect him.Miraculously, the dolphins knew that a child would need more help than adults, so they focused on Elian — and they figured out exactly what needed to be done and cooperated to carry out that plan successfully. T hey made it!4.Why did Elian slip off the tube?A. He was tired out.B. A wave pushed him.C. The two adults dragged him.D. The tube was too smooth to grab.5.How did the dolphins save Elian Conzalez?A.They informed the fishermen.B.They formed a circle around him.C.They supported the inner tube by turns.D.They stopped Elian slipping under the water.6.Which of the following words can be used to describe Elian Gonzalez?A.

The dolphins.D. The guardian angels.CThey say the average person makes 35,000 decisions a day.Yet in her new book,How Woman Decide,Therese Huston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fail to notice.“There’s a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers,”explains Therese,a psychologist from Seattle University.Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf：At one end,there were bestselling books about how to be a brilliant decision maker—all written by men and featuring interviews with men like athletes.At the other end were books aimed at women on gaining leadership skills and confidence.“Once those women are at the table,will their decisions be taken as seriously as men’s?”Therese wondered.“Men are respected as decision makers more than women,especially in the workplace,largely because there’s this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work.”So,Therese set out to pick apart the stereotypes(固有印象)to see what scientific research had found.“Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision-making equally.The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years-teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys.Otherwise,there’s little difference between the genders(性别).”However,there are some differences.“Women are more collaborative(协作的),”says Therese.“A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice.Women ask for input,which helps make better decisions.However,this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength.”Therese also found that during times of stress,men and women make different choices,and the outcomes are often better when women are involved.Study after study backs this view up.Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress,they react very differently.During their study,which involved playing a virtual gambling(赌博)game,they found that when the females became stressed,they made smart decisions—quitting while they were ahead or taking safe bets.But when the men became stressed,they did the opposite,risking everything for a slim chance of a big win.8.W hy did Therese Huston write her book How Women Decide?A.Women are less respected as decision makers.B.Women are not equally treated in workplaces.C.Women are unable to make smart choices.D.Women are poor at making big decisions.9.W hat is women’s weakness in decision—making according to Therese Huston?A.Men can make quicker decisions than women.B.Women easily get stressed when making decisions.C.Women are likely to ask for input when making decisions.D.Teenage girls are 1ess able to make decisions than teenage boys.10.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Women show less confidence in times of stress.B.Men tend to make risky in times of stress.C.Men demonstrate great bravery in times of stress.D.Women quit making decisions when ahead in games.11.What’s Therese’s final conclusion according to the text?A.Women are brilliant as decision makers.B.Men are weaker in making smart decisions.C.We should give up all cultural beliefs about gender.D.Great difference exists between the two genders in decision—making.DAre you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame, not your parents.This is according to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US. They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions — West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3D facial imaging technology.“People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,” Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead a uthors of the study, told the Guardian. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls( 头骨), Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates. That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages (鼻道) help to increase the wet content of air and warm it, which is easier on our lungs. This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator (赤道).More study is still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issue. “As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climates that we are not adapted to,” he told the Guardian. This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems.However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modern medicine and the fact that o ur current climate is very different from what it used to be.”12.According to the passage, people from China might have noses than those from Norway.A. widerB. narrowerC. smallerD. bigger13.Narrower noses are helpful to .A. cool the airB. warm the airC. take in more oxygenD. dry the air14.What can be learned about the study?A.Shapes of our noses are determined by our parents.B.Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment.C.Zaidi’s team measured human skull using 3D technology.D.It’s certain that people living nearby equator will suffer from more breathing problems.15.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What factors shape nosesB. How to make your nose attractiveC. Nose shapes cause breathing problemsD. Climate shapes noses第二节（共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. Th is personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socialising with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modestyoungster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “I n my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’ promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an e ffect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared toconventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternatives available to consumers.32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC. productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling.

Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips —ofthose, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box becauseI've got two ice packs and that's how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cellsare harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we've got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I'mreally sorry, I've got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.”So Itook my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this box are some stem cells that are urgentlyneeded for a patient—please, please, you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”Shejust dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originallyscheduled.For this courier job,you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“courier”in Paragraph 1?2 / 15A.providerB.delivery manD.medical doctorC.collector26.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A.He cannot stay away from his job too long.B.The donor can only wait for that long.C.The operation needs that much time.D.The ice won't last any longer.27.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A.To London.B.To Newark.D.To Washington.C.To Providence.C,D)(2018课标全国Ⅱpeople by on an airplane, surrounded or been there:in a lift, in line at the bank We've allwho are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What's the problem?It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence.

Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it's an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carrythe necessary equipment with you, since it's all but impossible to find natural substitutes.The only components required, though, are a 5'×5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water.These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher's4 / 15productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place sothat one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out —the sideof the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet's center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over,and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates(蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and falloff into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through thetube, and won't have to break down the still every time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.It's delicate.B.It's expensive.D.It's portable. C.It's complex.33.What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher”in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The tube.B.The still.D.The cup.C.The hole.34.What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheet's center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from .A.the plastic tubeB.outside the holeD.beneath the sheetC.the open air第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(2018课标全国Ⅱ)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
