came up with a pair my mother used for gardening and took them along.We hopped (跳)in the car and headed into Boston.Guided by my directions,Dad was somehow able to get us to our destination:a row of two-story houses.They were in the process of being built,mostly by volunteers like us.After grabbing a huge leather tool belt,I met the people I would be workingwith.Virginia,James and Wilbur were all more than twice my age but treated me likea peer (同龄人).We got to work nailing the frames of walls.By lunch break I hadhit what seemed like every tough spot in the whole house,and pried (撬起)countless bent nails.The rest of the day went by quickly,as I gained efficiency with myhammer.Soon it was time to pack up.As I was leaving,a woman came into the house.She saw the progress we'd made upstairs and started looking around the rooms.Then I realized who the woman was - her family would be living in the house.As she walked through each room,I could see her planning where furniture would go.Even

Habitat for Humanity.29.When a disaster strikes,humanitarian agencies (人道主义机构)like The World FoodProgramme (WFP)need information more than anything else.They need a clear picture of the damage to roads and bridges,for example,to be able to take quick action.WFP has published a picture of damage to the epicenter (震中)of the earthquake which struck Haiti.The picture,which has been produced in the form of a satellite-based map,shows great damage to the epicenter,where 90% of the buildings were destroyed.In the map,one pixel ((像素)stands for half a meter of la nd.That's a very close look of how things are on the ground.It helped rescue teams a lot.WFP's Emergency Preparedness and Response Branch produced a series of clear maps showing the damage of Haiti.The maps have been produced in partnership with aresearch and development institute called In formation Technology for HumanitarianAssistance,Cooperati on and Action (ITHACA).The organization was set up years ago especially to work with WFP in bringing developments of satellite technology into its response to disasters.Just a few years ago,this would have meant having to wait for helicopters to overfly areas and for human beings to physically see the damage.The satellites which operate around high above our heads are of great help.They are able to see through clouds,which is helpful when weather conditions prevent the use of optical instruments (光学仪器).Now both WFP and ITHACA have teams working around the clock to make use of more new technologies to help people actively deal with natural disasters."Deaths and injuries from natural disasters can be reduced if the disaster can be predicted.Several disaster prediction technologies have been developed over the years.We are also working hard to provide a more effective

satellites compared with optical instruments?______ A.They can be used as the substitution of helicopters.B.They can reduce deaths and injuries from natural disasters.C.They can be operated around high above our heads.D.They can see through clouds in bad weather conditions.What can we learn from Riccardo Roscelli's words in the last paragraph?______A.It is not easy for people to predict natural disasters.B.Natural disasters can cause more terrible consequences.C.They are trying to find out a better disaster prediction instrument.D.They have studied disaster prediction technologies for years.30.The alarm sounds.Students swing their backpack over their shoulders,board the schoolbus,make their way to their homeroom and the bell rings -- school is back.But for more homes in America,school looks more like students waking up,making their way to the dining room or home office,setting up laptops and learning in the comfort of home.Virtual (虚拟的)schooling,defined as "a public school that offers only instruction in which students and teachers are separated by time and/or location,and interaction occursvia computers and/or telecommunications (电信)technologies'',has increased over the past decade.According to the National Education Policy Center,enrollments (入学)in virtual schools increased by 17,000 students between 2015-16 and 2016-17 to 295,51 8 students.For Arizona Virtual Academy.a fullonline public K-12 charter school,they use K12 Inc.curriculum.K12 serves students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries with digital leaming platforms and technology,providing on line education."We always are improving our platforms and the technology that we use to make sure that we're keeping up with the changing trends,not only with education but also with technology,''Dr.Kelly Van Sande said.Another piece of new technology they've rolled out is a new app where parents can find virtual schools available in their area.Carrie Faulkner chose to enroll two of her children in Arizona Virtual Academy.She says they've done schooling online in Chicago,in California,at restaurants,and on her cousin's floor in Kansas."It doesn't matter whether he (her son)is on the couch,in his bed or at the kitchen table 一he can do schooling wherever he wants to," Faulkner said."I wish they had it for me back when I was in school.That would have been awesome."What's the purpose of paragraph 1?______A.To give an example of virtual schooling.B.To introduce the topic "virtual schooling"C.To describe vividly students,going to school.D.To compare real schooling with virtual schooling.How many students enrolled virtual schools during the 2015-2016 school year?______ A.17,000B.147,759C.278,518D.295,518What can we infer about Arizona Virtual Academy?______A.They provide both online and offline education.B.They're intended for students in the United Stated.C.Their new app lets people find school nationwide.D.Their platforms and technology

高考英语五模试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共12小题,共24.0分)AKieron Graham has known from a young age that he was adopted.While he loves his adoptive family,he has always wondered about his birth mother and brother.When his adoptive mom gave him a DNA test tool,they both hoped it might lead to his birth family.But neither guessed it would work so quickly,or that when it did,Graham would learn he and his long-lost brother may have crossed paths every day.It took just one week from the time Graham,a college student at Georgia's Kennesaw State University,received his DNA results on Ancestry.com for him to connect with his brother.Graham's DNA results showed that his closest match was a man named Vincent Ghant,and it turned out Ghant lived just a few minutes away.Graham reached out and learned that the two were in fact long-lost brothers.Their mother,Shawn Ghant,made the difficult decision to place Kieron in adoptive care when he was just a baby.And she has worried and wondered about her youngest son ever since.Graham has since been reunited with his mother and both of his brothers on his mother's side."It's all surreal(离奇的),too many emotions to describe exactly what I'm feeling about the entire situation,but it's a good situation," Graham tells MNN.As fate would have it,Kieron and Vincent are both students at Kennesaw State.They even have the same major:political science.So it's a safe bet the two crossed paths many times over the past three years.And now,thanks to some DNA sleuthing(筛查),the two will cross paths many more times in the years to come."We're getting together on Christmas with everyone,birth mother included," Graham says."That's sure to be a very indelible Christmas indeed,which will always be treasured by us."1.According to the passage,Graham ______ .A. is quite familiar with his birth familyB. relied on a website to find his birth familyC. happens to be working in Ancestry.comD. is studying engineering in the state university2.What can we infer from the third paragraph?______A. It was hard for Shawn to place her son in adoptive care.B. Graham has three adoptive brothers on his mother's side.C. It was too difficult for the whole family to get united.D. Shawn Ghant loves her older sons more.3.What does Graham probably think of his experience?______A. Unbelievable and exciting.B. Surprising but common.C. Undoubted and inspiring.D. Moving but painful.4.What does the underlined word "indelible" in the last paragraph mean?______A. Normal.B. Silent.C. Traditional.D. Unforgettable.BAn international group of coffee experts has considered Ethiopia's coffee as the best in the world.Coffee is a top export of the country.But at home,it is seen as national pride.Ethiopians feel good about their coffee,and enjoying a drink with friends is a long tradition.International coffee experts travel the world to find the best coffee.They keep returning to Ethiopia.Some people say the climate produces quality beans.Morton Wenner is a coffee importer.He said,"Ethiopia has different ancient types of coffee.They are planted in places with perfect soil,perfect altitude,and climates that are really suitable for coffee processing,such as drying and things like that."Finding the best quality beans is often an issue of taste.The process is known as cupping - tasting and comparing coffee from different roasted beans,grading and then pricing them.But before international experts come to taste,coffee beans are studied in small coffee laboratories.Helen Assefa,a lab technician,describes the process,"When the coffee comes to the lab,we assess its quality first by recording the details.Then we weigh the wetness level and screen the beans for analysis.After that we polish the coffee beans and taste the samples.At the end we check for imperfect beans."Ethiopia is making big profits on its coffee reputation by exporting coffee to more than 120countries.The country has an export income of more than ﹩840 million a year.But not allthe best coffee leaves Ethiopia.Forty percent of the coffee grown in the country stays there.It remains an important part of everyday life at work,at home and at ceremonies just to celebrate that special cup.5.Where does the Ethiopian's pride mainly come from?______A. Traditional practices.B. Food export.C. International experts.D. Best coffee.6.Ethiopia produces best coffee because of ______ .A. the special coffee tasteB. the long-standing traditionC. the satisfactory mild climateD. the favorable growing environment7.Which of the following describes the process of studying coffee beans in the lab?______a.polish and tasteb.weigh the dampness levelc.record quality factsd.analyze the beanse.check for imperfectionA. d-c-b-a-eB. c-b-d-a-eC. e-c-a-b-dD. c-d-a-b-e8.What can we learn from the last paragraph?______A. Coffee is essential in Ethiopians' daily lives.B. Coffee is the most profitable industry in Ethiopia.C. Most of the coffee production remains in Ethiopia.D. Ethiopians often hold ceremonies to celebrate harvest.CWhen you think of a jungle adventure, what comes to mind? Are they gorgeous birds flying through the air or monkeys jumping through the forest? Do you think of plants? Probably not. After all, plants aren't the most exciting living things in the world. They just sit there and absorbwater and nutrients from the soil and the sun. But actually there are also some plants that eat insects and even small animals from time to time. We call these unusual things carnivorous (食肉性) plants. Although most carnivorous plants eat small insects, larger carnivorous plants in some hot and wet areas have been known to capture rats, birds, and frogs.One carnivorous plant many people are familiar with is the Venus flytrap. Its unique "jaws" will function when flies and other small insects touch it. Once its jaws close on its victim, it produces a chemical substance that breaks down the insect and absorbs the insect's nutrients.There are several other examples of carnivorous plants. For example, some plants can catch insects with their leaves, which are like a tall narrow wineglass, while some trap their victims with sticky tentacles (触手). And some growing in ponds and streams absorb their victims like underwater cleaners. Carnivorous plants tend to grow in areas where the soil is very thin and lacks necessary nutrients. These plants must find other sources for the nutrients they need.Trapping and eating insects allows these unique plants to survive. Unfortunately, human and environmental factors continue to threaten the limited environments where you can find wild carnivorous plants.Still for many people, the thought of a plant eating an animal seems very strange. In fact, more than one person has turned the idea into a scary story or movie. Carnivorous plants don't pose any danger to humans, though. Unless you're the size of a tiny insect, you don't have to worry about falling prey to a Venus flytrap.9.What can we learn about the Venus flytrap?A. It produces a special smell to attract insects.B. It is the most important carnivorous plant.C. It catches insects with its unique "jaws".D. It is a kind of poisonous plant.10.Why do carnivorous plants hunt animals for food?A. They try to reduce the harmful insects.B. They help keep the balance of nature.C. They need some nutrients to survive.D. They enjoy the taste of animals.11.What's the challenge faced by carnivorous plants?A. Trapping and eating them from human beings.B. Poorer environments to live in.C. Threats from bigger animals.D. Limited choices of food.12.What can be the best title for the passage?A. Human's influence towards insectsB. Potential dangers in the jungleC. Plants that eat living thingsD. Various survival skills of plants二、阅读七选五(本大题共7小题,共16.0分)Springtime In ParisDeparture:May 5,12,19 and June 94 days for £129 per personParis in the springtime was,is and always will be something rather special.Why not experience it for yourself with this excellent break for four days?This attractive city has something to offer everyone and with prices at just £129,it's great value too.Your break begins with executive coach transfer from regional pickup points and travel to Paris is via cross-channel ferry,arriving at your hotel in the evening.The hotel is an excellent quality one with private facilities in all rooms:satellite TV,radio,telephone and alarmclock.It has a bar and restaurant and is situated about two miles south of Notre Dame enabling you to explore Paris with ease.The following day,after continental breakfast(included),the coach takes you on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city,during which you will see the Eiffel Tower,Champs Elysees,L'Arc de Triomphe,the Louvre,and in fact almost every famous landmark you have ever heard of.You then leave Paris and take a short drive to the magnificent Palace of Versailles,the home of Louis XIV.The tour ends mid-afternoon back in Paris where you will have the remainder of the day at your leisure.In the evening there is a "Paris By Night" tour showing you the beautiful buildings with bright lights.Day three takes you to Montmartre,perhaps the most picturesque of Paris and home of the Saere Coeur and the Moulin Rouge.In the afternoon you are free to explore this beautiful city as you wish,perhaps a pleasure voyage on the River Seine,wander around the picturesque gardens or look through among the antique shops.In the evening you will have the opportunity to visit the best nightclub in the city,the splendid Paradis Latin.On the final day we're back to the U.K.via channel ferry.Included in the price of £129 per personReturn executive coach travel to ParisReturn ferry crossings3 nights accommodation in a twin bedded room in a Central Paris hotel with private facilities Continental breakfast during your stayGuided sightseeing tour of "Paris By Day" and "Paris By Night"Visit to Chateau of Versailles (admission not included)Tour on MontmartreServices of an experienced bi-lingual tour guide at all times(1)During the stay in Paris,the tourists will have ______ .A.free time for more than half a dayB.a "Paris By Night" tour on the first eveningC.a pleasure voyage on the River Seine togetherD.a chance to live in a hotel two miles away from Paris(2)Which of the following can we learn about the travel schedule from the text?______ A.The tourists will return on June 9.B.The tourists may set off on May 12.C.The tourists may explore Notre Dame in depth.D.The tourists will spend one night in Paradis Latin.(3)After paying £129,the tourists will have to pay ______ .A.the continental breakfastsB.the tour on MontmartreC.admission ticket to Chateau of VersaillesD.services of a bi-lingual tour guide13.

A Moving StoryD. My New BookCWith a flock of birds,a group member can often be seen high in the tree acting as a lookout while the rest feed on the ground below.When a predator approaches,the lookout sounds the alarm.To the casual observer,it may appear that the lookout is acting for the good of the greater group,but a new study suggests that the lookout - called a sentinel(哨兵)- may actually be working for itself.While sentinel behavior among groups of birds has been observed,Dr.Roni Ostreiher and Professor Aviad Heifetz recently began researching the sentinel behavior of floaters -birds that have either been cast out or for other reasons decide to go it alone.What they found was that floaters also have similar lookout activities and will sound an alarm call if an enemy approaches.This suggests that while the group benefits from having a lookout,the instinct to act as the lookout is motivated not by the group but by self-preservation.The sentinel may simply be trying to scare away its enemy instead of warning other birds down below.It might be easy to understand that when a floater displays sentinel behavior,the bird is acting for itself.However,birds in groups may have less selfish motives since the birds appear to alternate as lookouts."There are some adult group members who act as sentinelsmore often than others.As far as we understand,acting as a sentinel is not a duty.Those who sentinel less often are not punished," Ostreiher said.He also noted that the sentinel's primary purpose is to gather information about its surroundings - the presence of a neighboring group,changes in food sources and even weather - not keeping lookout for approaching enemies."We do not know what motivates them to stop eating and climb up to a tree branch and start to sentinel," Ostreiher added.He and Heifetz are now focused on understanding what happens after an alarm call is sounded.8.What is the finding of the study?______A. Birds look out just for their own safety.B. Sentinel behavior is unique to birds.C. Birds have a strong sense of danger.D. Birds react quickly when hearing an alarm.9.What can we infer about a floater?______A. It is often a selfish bird.B. It benefits from other birds.C. It lives and feeds on its own.D. Its duty is to protect other birds.10.What is Ostreiher's opinion on birds' sentinel behavior?______A. It is unnecessary for a floater.B. It is every bird's responsibility.C. Birds seem to watch out in turn.D. It is completely selfless behavior.11.In which part of a newspaper can you find this passage?______A. Life.B. Health.C. Technology.D. Nature.DIn New York,students at 18schools participate in a program called We Future Cycle.Started by Anna Giordano in 2014,it teaches kids to recycle,compost(堆肥),and reduce food waste.Lunch areas at the participating schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins - compost ,recycle and share.While the first two are common in schools,the third is rare,where kids can put their unwanted drinks,fruits,and even untouched sandwiches.Items in the container are available for any student that wants them.Whatever remains at the end of the day is donated to the food bank.Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the number of trash bags from an average of 22 to just 2!To ensure kids adopt similar habits at home,the non-profit has created extensive curriculum to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling,composting,trash and food to donate They also urge parents to have open conversations with their kids about food choices.But,as we're all aware,kids aren't the only ones that waste food - Adults are equally bad,if not worse! To prevent that,Josh Treuhaft founded Salvage Supper club in 2014.The occasionally organized dinners promise people a tasty multi-course meal for a mere $50USD per person.It is also a plan to save waste because the delicious food is made from vegetables that are past their prime and,therefore,headed for the trash bin.The other catch?Customers have to eat their meals inside a dumpster(大型垃圾装卸车)! The place,of course,is totally clean.It is just a symbolic gesture.In addition to helpingpeople rethink their actions,Treuhaft also helps them do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste.12.What is the aim of We Future Cycle?______A. To collect money and food for poor children.B. To educate children to treasure and save food.C. To encourage children to share food with others.D. To inspire children to learn agriculture knowledge.13.Which word can be used to describe We Future Cycle?______A. Successful.B. Official.C. Impractical.D. World-famous.14.What do we know about Salvage Supper club?______A. It is mainly aimed for adults.B. It is founded by Anna Giordano.C. It provides free supper for people.D. It has enjoyed great success in many schools.15.What is the reason for people eating in a dumpster?______A. It is money- saving.B. People like to be unique.C. It can remind people of food waste problem.D. A dumpster is much cleaner than a restaurant.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Ways to teach kindness to kids There is lots of information about teaching children about kindness.(1) Children may or may not listen to what we say,but they commit just about everything we do to memory - for better or worse.The best thing that we can do for our children is to be our best selves.(2) It means paying attention to little opportunities to treat other people with care and respect.Here are several suggestions to get you started:(3) Make a habit of tipping servers 20 percent or more.Talk with your child about how servers are often not paid enough to live well.Make a math lesson of figuring out the tip.Model saying please and thank-you,to teach servers are people not robots.Invite someone who deserves appreciation to dinner - a school crossing guard,a soccer coach,or so on.(4)Have a letter-writing or card-making night,when everyone in the family sends warm wishes to an elderly or sick relative - or strangers who live in a nursing facility in your town.Talk about what makes people tick.(5) When it is over,ask your child what might have been going on.Was the person in a bad mood because his boss yelled at him?Was he impatient because he was worried about a sick friend?Also talk about how the person could have handled the situation better,to teach that it is possible to be kind,even when you are in a bad mood.A.Develop a good habit.B.Tip and talk about it.C.Discuss how to deal with different people.D.This doesn't mean turning your life inside out.E.Have your child help prepare meals and make a thank -you card.F.However,I think that kindness is best taught by example.G.When someone's behavior makes you angry,breathe deeply.16.

It sustains and develops students' abilities and interests over a ten﹣week period and offers an opportunity for contemporary Fine Art practice. Entry is open to students of all levels and experience.Course StructureThe course begins with a structured introduction to Fine Art. We begin by exploring the nature of drawing and its fundamental use for the artist and follow this with an in﹣depth investigation into processes of making and the application of ideas. Initially as agroup, then individually, students will generate work from supplied and found materials.Each student will have a space in the Woburn studios for individual studio﹣based enquiry. WorkshopsAlongside individual research and practice there will be a number of optional specialist workshops taught by invited artists as the course develops. These include subjects such as: order in space, color and light, technical research, etc.MaterialsFor the introductory period and for the later workshops, most of the basic materials are provided, however, as independent working progresses students will be expected to provide their own materials.Please note:This year's Foundation course will be taking place at Slade School of Fine Art, Woburn Studios in Bloomsbury, close to the British Museum and the galleries of Soho and the West End.

For an entire decade, the award for Best FIFA Men's Player of the Year was quite predictable: It either went to Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo or Argentina's Lionel Messi. After all, they are the "legends(传奇)" of soccer.This years recipient(获奖者), however, came as a surprise: Croatian player Luka Modric.For those who aren't soccer fans, Modric's name is probably unfamiliar, mostly due to the fact that he rarely appears in TV commercials, and that he's not a striker(前锋)﹣things that apply to both Ronaldo and Messi﹣but a midfielder.But Modric, 33, has certainly had a fruitful year. As a key member of RealMadrid, Modric helped the Spanish club win their third straight Champions League title in May. And as the captain of his national team of Croatia, Modric led the team to its first ever World Cup final in July.And Modric's hard childhood makes his achievements even more remarkable.He grew up during the war following the break﹣up of Yugoslavia and the independence of Croatia. When he was 6, his grandfather was shot dead and his family had to live as refugees (难民) in a warzone. When playing soccer was an after﹣school hobby for kids of his age in other countries, it was an escape for Modric﹣he played soccer as a way to take his mind off the hardship his family was facing.But it was this experience that gave Modric the mental toughness to push forward on his path to becoming one of the top soccer players in the world."The war made me stronger, " Modric told CNN. "We are not easy people to break. And there is a determination to show that, to show that we can succeed."It may be true that Modric wasn't seen as a legend before. But by winning the Best Men's Player award on Sept 24, he joined Ronaldo and Messi at the top of the list of the world's best soccer players. And what could be more legendary than that? So, the man who defeated legends must be something even bigger.(1)Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are mentioned in the passage to________.A distinguish their differencesB show their contribution to soccerC highlight Modric's achievementsD arouse the readers interest in soccer.(2)Why did Modric start playing soccer?________A Playing soccer was his hobby.B He wanted to help his family out oftrouble. C Playing soccer was required by his school. D He expected to forget his family's tough situation..(3)What can we learn about Modric from the passage?________A He is captain of Real Madrid.B He often works as an advertising spokesperson.C He plays the same position as Cristiano Ronaldo.D He has made history for Croatia on the soccer field..(4)What does the passage intend to tell us?________A Where there is life, there is hope.B Hardship makes a determined person stronger.C Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.D A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.3. Many research groups are testing "ink" made from silk proteins to print human tissues, even organs. The process is a less costly alternative to conventional 3﹣D printing with collagen, a key protein mainly existing in the mammal's(哺乳动物)cells. Researchers in Assam, a state in India, are investigating using local silkworm species for the task﹣they recently submitted a patent for ________ using a combination of proteins obtained from local silkworms. The scientists have woven them into tissue structures ranging from ears to heart.Silk is a natural substance which is strong and completely biodegradable (可生物降解的), well suited for applications in tissue engineering. For instance, to bio﹣print an ear, researchers dissolve silk fibers.They carefully mix the sticky liquid with a patient's stem cells, then build structures layer by layer with a 3﹣D printer. Finally, the cells grow and replace the silken proteins and finally change into a natural substance in human body. Compared with common﹣used chemicals as adhesive(黏合剂), wild silk is also perfect to cross﹣link silky tissues, which helps to maintain a 3﹣D structure. Also, the wild silk has spots that cells naturally attach to, which allows cells to stick to the silk structure rapidly. "These silks are ideal candidates for bioinks because they can be combined to build strong human tissues" says Mandal, the lab's lead investigator."This is important, for example, when making bones, " he add."Obtaining and purifying collagen from animal remains is complex and expensive." says David Kaplan, an expert in biomedical engineering, when asked about the advantages. Compared with collagen, silks have an immense advantage in terms of supply and processing. Local sourcing is also a clear plus in their use in India."Mandal and his colleagues have already created original structures, including bone and soft tissues of the heart and liver. Reconstructing a human knee complex tissue at the ends of a bone will be next.(1)What does the underlined word "bioinks" refer to?________A Silk proteins.B Collagens.C Certain chemical.D Tissues..(2)What will a patient eventually get after an ear﹣bioprinting?________A An artificial ear.B A silken ear.C A real ear.D An original ear..(3)What are the advantages of silk proteins over collagen according to David Kaplan?________A They are biodegradable and strong.B They are inexpensive and uncomplicated.C They are harmless and attachable.D They are pure and available..(4)What is the best title for the text?________A Final Solution﹣Wild Worms for Medical Treatment.B Silky Tissue﹣Worm Proteins Ready for 3﹣D Bioprinting.C Bioink﹣Cheap Alternative for Conventional Operations.D Protein﹣Key to Repairing Human Organs.4. Six supporters of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), including one inside a cat costume and another dressed as a pig, marched on the sidewalk outside High School District 113 in Highland Park, Illinois, US. Their goal was to get the district to end animal dissection(解剖) in science classes.Animal dissection has always divided people: Is it right to dissect frogs, pigs or other animals in school science classes, particularly when computers can show detailed images of the parts of animals?"Especially with all the violence in the US, it is important we teach children compassion for all living beings, said Mysti Lee, assistant campaign manager for PETA.The American Anti﹣Vivisection Society reports that 18 states, including Illinois, have laws allowing students to choose alternatives to dissection. And in recent years, biology classes have moved toward the study of cells, molecules(分子) and genetics. "Dissection is horrific (可怕的) and unnecessary, " protester Victor Przysiezny said.However, most biology teachers believe that dissection is an important part of education when done right. "It's one thing to see it on a computer screen, " said Jaclyn Reeves. "Its another to see the size and scale. Science is about ________." She added that dissection can inspire students to take up a career in biology or put them off.At its recent protest in Highland Park, PET A singled out Bio Corp., a company that provides frogs, pigs, turtles, rabbits, cats and other animals and their parts for educational purposes. Following the charges of animal cruelty, Bill Wadd, co﹣owner of Bio Corp., invited city officials to tour Bio Corp. He said that more than 98 percent of the animals Bio Corp received last year were already dead. "We just take what people would throw away, " Wadd said. "Instead of throwing it in the trash, why not have students learn from it? "District 113 spokeswoman Christine Gonzales said that district officials would think about using computer images in class instead. "We are always looking for new and innovative methods, because we do want to ensure our kids get the best instruction and are kind to all creatures, " she said.(1)Who opposes animal dissection?________A Illinois' local residents.B Victor Przysiezny.C Jaclyn Reeves.D Bill Wadd..(2)What does the underlined phrase in Pharaoh 5 mean?________A Getting personally involved in a task.B Becoming involved with something illegal.C Observing an operation on a computer screen.D Making your hands unclean by hard work..(3)What do we know about Bio Corp.?________A B It is a member company of PET C It gets along very well with local officials. D It offers mostly dead animals for research..(4)What is the attitude of District 113 to ending animal dissection?________A Supportive.B Cautious.C Disapproving.D Doubtful.第二节(共1小题;每小题10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.5.Team BuildingAlmost no one can get away from "teams" that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team:(1)_______There must be a clear reason for the team to exist. And all the members should realize the value and significance of their functions. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive.Open Communication(2)_______For example, they may discuss a sensitive topic. Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees? In the case, any individual voice is by no means a sure thing. So an honest discussion is expected to make sure all the members agree on.Respect to All Team MembersIt is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones.(3)_______People that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have become members of your team,you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.Conflict SolvingDisagreements are natural and, in fact, heated debate should be encouraged.(4)_______ Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled. For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a dispute that involves only two people, so "under﹣the﹣table" method may be effective.Leadership(5)_______A good organizer should be able to play to individuals' strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. He must be skilled in motivating people, sharing responsibility and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went. Successful team working is marked by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride.A. Measuring Progress against Goals.B. Common Goals with Challenging Target.C. Most high﹣performing teams are well organized.D. This is not only discouraging, it also makes no sense.E. A team made up only of "yes men" can make disastrous decisions.F. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths.G. Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.6.

In 2012, he and hisfamily were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there werelocal children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community,Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful lifechanged course.Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around theholiday. As word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along withThe nextMickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he sa year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapidgrowth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latterand went from making “great money to zero money”.

They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.to the nonprofit?7. What is Mickelson’s attitudeA. AmbiguousB. Defensive.C. Cautious.D. Positive.CLearning how to face silence in conversation is an important skill especially when working acrosscultures.In international negotiations, experienced negotiator (谈判者) stay silent and impassive on purposebecause that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to doanything. Americans especially can’t stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So what’s the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Don’t offer a compromise just becauseare not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “What’s your in to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Let’s come back to t and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, lookat the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “I’m in control. I know what I’m confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduceds. Because silence makes us nervous, our naturalwith many pauses so that you didn’t miss his key pointreaction is that we’d better pay attention, there’s something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If youspoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional responsekeep talking you’reand to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourselfthe time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence inFinland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US,we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing.Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, fordeveloping better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies to business,politics, education, law, medicine, every area of human life.8. What is most likely to be Americans idea?A. Speaking less gives the upper handB. The shorter talking gaps are, the better.C. A silent man is the best one to listen toD. Speak out what you have in your mind.9. What is the purpose of the example of Steve Jobs?A. To show the wisdom of Steve Jobs.B. To explain silence can be more effective.C. To introduce how to make a presentation.D. To prove silence can ease one’s nervousness.10. What is the meaning of the underlined words “spoon feeding” in Paragraph 6?A. Supporting some person with any selfless help.B. Feeding somebody patiently with a small spoon.C. Giving others some new ideas to think over carefully.D. Using a way that discourages independent thought.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Silence is the best defense.B. Silence in negotiations is of great help.C. Learning the skills about silence is important.D. Silence has different meanings in difficult culture.DBritish people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Nowsome companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Fridayoff, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operatelike this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found thatthey achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success, Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime eachweek (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their Europeanneighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. Mo than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year.Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on thelabor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and worklonger ho urs. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers inits from new technology, not allowing those at thethe form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the beneftop to grab them for themselves.” she says.12. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. British people are the least productive in the worldB. Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day weekC. PR company has witnessed a rise in employees’ happinessD. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries13. Which is the proper description of British working practices?A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.B. In terms of productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States.C. Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.D.

It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation.B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.D. Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?-day working week.A.

AWhy don’t quiet carriages work, and how might they be make to? Quiet carriages on trains are a nice idea: travelers voluntarily make their phones silent, turn stereos off and keep chatter to a minimum. However, in reality, there is usually at least one silly babbler(喋喋不休的人) to break the silence.A couple of problems prevent peaceful trips. First, there is a sorting problem: some passengers end up in the quiet carriage by accident and are not aware of the rules. Second, there is a commitment problem: noise is sometimes made by travelers who choose the quiet carriage but find an important call hard to ignore.The train operators are trying to find answers. Trains in Queensland Australia, are having permanent signs added to show exactly what is expected; a British operator has invested in some technology to prevent phone calls.Microeconomics suggests another approach. Fining people for making a noise would surely dissuade(劝阻) the polluter and is a neat solution in theory, but it requires costly monitoring and enforcement. Another way would be to use prices to separate quiet and noisy passengers-in effect, creating a market for silence. A simple idea would be to sell access to the quiet carriage as an optional extra when the ticket is bought. Making the quiet coach both an active choice and a costly one would dissuade many of those who don’t value a peaceful ride.Charging may also solve the commitment problem. This is particularly tricky, as attitudes to noise canchange during the journey. Some passengers would pay the quiet premium but still chatter away when some vital news arrives. Schemes that reward the silent-a rating system among fellow passengers, for example -could help. The idea is that losing your hard-won reputation offsets the short-term gain from using the phone. But such a system also fails the simplicity test.A 2010 book by George Akerlof and Rachel Kranton argues that “norms”-feelings about how everyone should behave-also play a role in decision-making. Charging a price, even if just a token amount, means the quiet carriage becomes a service that fellow passengers have bought, not just a preference they have expressed. Perhaps different norms would come into play, encouraging calm. If not, a personal bubble is always an option: noise-canceling headphones start at around $50.1. According to the passage, what does microeconomics suggest?A. Finding the source of noise.B. Putting a price on noise.C. Avoid using a phone in the carriage.D. Investing more money in monitoring and enforcement.2. By “a personal bubble is always an option,” the author means ________.A. one can make his own choiceB. one sh ould respect others’ privacyC. one can create his own personal spaceD. one should stick to his personal budget3. This passage is mainly about ________.A. people’s favoured transportationB. effective methods of monitoring noise levelsC. possible solutions to noise in train carriagesD. common forms of misbehavior of passengersBThe great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91. She hopes to use the language at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamiz awa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo’s 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. “Whe n I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, ‘It’s not too late. We will teach you one word a day’ ”. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmother’s phone every day. They al so often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. “Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wa nted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. It’s my joy now.”The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.4. Why couldn’t Takamizawa learn English when she was young?A. Because English was useless.B. Because she was too young to learn English.C. Because English was forbidden to learn.D. Because she was unwilling to learn English.5. What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Takamizawa gets strong support from her family.B. Takamizawa’s grandchildren love her a lot.C. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and only Engl ish teacher.D. Natsuko teaches Takamizawa English mainly by talking with her.6. What does the underlined phrase “This situation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. English is not the first language in Japan.B. The level of English spoken in Japan is relatively low.C. Younger generations in Japan welcome English.D. Japanese people become open to the rest of the world.7. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Where there is a will, there is a way.B. It is never too late to learn.C. The early bird catches the worm.D. Two heads are better than one.CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged hom e environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child,s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child,s development was the poor quality ofparent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.8. What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ?A. The large number of poor families.B. The disapproval from children.C. The late start of the program.D. The long period of time.9. What do we know about the “Missouri” program ?A. It focused on the children,s first school teachers.B. It helped the children return to the same home.C. It made the children improved in many aspects.D. It gave the parents advice on their development.10. According to the passage, what is likely to influence children,s performance ?A. The number of family members.B. The parent-child communication.C. The intelligence of their parents.D. The teacher-student relationship.11. How does the author develop the passage ?A. By listing figures.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving examples.D. By drawing conclusions.DWe’ve all been there: those times you need to argue your point of view to someone who you know disagrees with you. You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet, the Facebook reply, or a paragraphs-long email. Surely the reason, logic, and strong power of your written words will convince whoever it is who disagrees with you to see your point of view. But new research suggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant professor of University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeder’s study of almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch, listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge the character of the communicator and the quality of the argument. Schroeder’s team found that the participants who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive (抵触的)of their claims than when they read that communicator’s same argument.The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician. One of us read a speech that was printed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed. The next week, he heard the exact same speech playing on a radio station. He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward the politician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it. When he read the statement, the politician seemed idiotic, but when he heard it spoken, the politician actually sounded reasonable.So in the workplace, speaking to someone in person often involves nothing more than walking a few doors down to their office. And that’s exactly what you should do if you need to con vince that boss or colleague of why your blueprint for the company or project is the right one.Only as a last way should you try to communicate with someone who you disagree with over social media. Twitter’s limited text allowance and social media users’ short attention make arguing your point anuphill battle.12. What’s the result of the research?A. Written words are more logical and reasonable.B. People prefer to communicate with key board.C. When reading an argument, the participants were less dismissive than hearing it.D. Oral, not written, communication works better.13. Why is the politician mentioned in paragraph3?A. To introduce the topic for discussion.B. To summarize the previous paragraphs.C. To explain why Schroeder conducted the research.D. To introduce the politician’s speech.14. What does the underlined word “idiotic’’in paragraph 3 mean?A. Wise.B. Practical.C. Silly.D. Special.15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. To persuade your boss, you need to walk to his office and leave a message.B. It’s difficult to fully explain your points due to social media’s limitation.C. Arguing over social media is more convenient than speaking in person.D. Communicating with others over social media is encouraged.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 only 2 degrees outside, but the cold wind made it feel like it was 15 below zero. Still, I was kneeling in the snow alongside my house trying to open a tiny door, so I eoukl get in. 1 had forgotten to leave my water dripping the night before and now my water pipes were frozen and my faucets(水龙头)were dry.The wind cut into me like a knife while I struggled to get two electric heaters in place around the section of frozen pipes. The waterlines were buried except for a small piece that connected up to my house.I put a heater on each side of it, ran the extension cords(软线)into my house and plugged them in. Both heaters roared to life and started blowing hot air on the frozen water pipes. My fingers had already started to go numb, so I stayed inside to wait. I could only hope that this bit of warmth could get my water flowing again. Finally, after twenty minutes, the water started flowing through my faucets again. I went back outside into the biller cold and gathered my heaters up. I looked at the weak January sun shining on the frozen snow and smiled. Then I sent a joy filled with "Thank you" heavenward and returned inside to make myself a hot breakfast.Sometimes the coldness of this life can get to us as well. It can make our hearts feel icy and frozen. It can keep our kindness and love from flowing out to others. Sometimes, though, all we need is a bit of warnth to get us going again. It can be a simple smile, a kind word, a heart-felt hug, a morning sunrise, abird's song or any gentle reminder of just how much God loves us. Let us all be grateful for those bits of warmth that gel us going again. And let us all try to be that bit of wannth for others every chance we get.24.

She now serves as president,and TJ oversees public relations for the foundation full time.They offer medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness.As for President Austin,he continues to give out food,smiles,and his inspirational message of love.“It makes me feel like I’m saving the day,”he said proudly.28. Why has Austin become well—known to the entire country?A. He has super power to fill the stomachs of the homeless.B. He fights hunger and homelessness at such a young age.C. He has removed the poverty of the local community.D. He has chosen an impressive and unique name.29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“dedicated”in Paragraph 5?A. Exposed.B. Opposed.C. Devoted.D. Addicted.30. Why does the author introduce the example of Raymont in Paragraph 4?A. To show Austin’s positive influence.B. To persuade people to live off their own.C. To prove the personal ability of Austin’s father.D. To describe the difficult situation of poor people.31. What is the author’s attitude towards what Austin does?A. Sympathetic.B. Humorous.C. Approving.D. Considerate.DShop with Your Doc is part of a broader and still growing movement in US medicine to shift the focus away from simply treating disease toward caring for the whole person. It is meant to help people make educated, healthy choices one grocery cart at a time. Across the country, hospitals are setting up food banks and medical schools are putting cooking classes on the curriculum. Nonprofits are connecting medical centers with community resources to ensure that low-income Americans have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.For centuries, Western medicine’s mission was to cure disease. But over the past generation, two generation, two significant trends are of concern to the medical community, says Timothy Harlan, executive director of Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans.Healthcare costs began to soar(激增), and relatively inexpensive, poor-quality food became more common. “There’s a very straightforward link between people improving their diets and improving the condition that they have,” Dr. Harlan says.The connection drove the medical and nonprofit communities to rethink their approach to health. What emerged was the concept of the “social determinants of health”-the notion of taking into account the biological, physical, and socioeconomic circumstances surrounding a patient. A healthy person isn’t just someone who is free from disease, the theory goes; he or she also enjoys “a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being.”The question the medical community now faces is how to get patients-especially low-income families-to recognize these determinants and make it possible for them to eat and live healthier. In Boston, medical experts responded by creating an on-site pantry(食品室) at Boston Medical Center. Since its founding in 2002, the pantry has evolved into a kind of nutrition center where primary care providers at BMC send patients for food. Today the pantry, which gets 95 percent of its stock from the Greater Boston Food bank, hosts free cooking classes and serves about 7,000 people a month. The Greater Boston Food Bank has also launched its own initiatives, striking partnerships with four community health centers across the state to offer free mobile produce markets. The organization also helped develop toolkits(软件包) that map local pantries, markets that accept government food vouchers, and other resources.At Tulane in New Orleans, Harlan is leading the development of a curriculum that combines medicine with the art of food preparation. His philosophy: Doctors who know their way around a kitchen are better at helping their patients. And empowering patients to take charge of their own diets is one way to help them deal with the incredible costs of health care, Harlan says. The curriculum has since been adopted at 35 medical schools around the United States. Chipping away at bad habits is a good place to start getting patients to think about the choices they make for themselves and their families, say Dr Maureen Villasenor, the Orange County pediatrician(儿科医生).32. The aim of Shop with Your Doc is to _______.A. help patients relax before an operationB. assist patients in finding food fit for themC. control people’s food consumption in supermarketsD. persuade low-income families to take more fruits and vegetables33. Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly talk about _______.A. the role Western medicine has been playingB. how a new concept of health came into beingC. medical communities’ worries about food safetyD. why low-income families are less reliable on healthcare34. What do we know about the Greater Boston Food Bank?A. Its cooking classes are free of charge.B. It was founded at the beginning of the 21st century.C. It helps people locate pantries and markets.D. It treats many a patient from BMC.35. What can be inferred about the curriculum developed by Harlan?A. It appeals to a number of US medical schools.B. It is specially designed for doctors in communities.C. Its content has little to do with medicine.D. Its philosophy is questioned by Dr. Maureen Villasenor.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。

2020年辽宁省辽阳市高考英语三模试卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共4小题;每小题6分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.1. ACTIVITY SCHEDULE FOR THE COMING WEEK(1)We can infer that the school in the text is nearest to________.A LondonB SussexC LewesD Brighton.(2)Students will come to Clifftonville inn________.A for a gathering to start a short tourB to prepare for the partyC to give the new students a warm welcomeD to celebrate the fancy dress Halloween party.(3)If you go on the trip to Lewes for the bonfire, which route will you take?________a. Seven Sistersb. Middle Farmc. a country pubd. Brightone. Beachy HeadA daebcB adecbC dacebD adebc.2. What is a family? Why does it matter? What does it teach us that we can't learn on our own? These questions seem especially relevant in the holiday season when it is often our tradition to gather as families and celebrate together.My mother was one of twelve children. As they grew up, married and had children of their own, most of them lived near enough to gather for holidays at my grandparents' home in a small town in the mountains of North Carolina.I don't recall getting many gifts from them.I remember the sense of belonging, of being part of something that assured me I was loved and not alone.I delighted in the laughing, playing and fighting with my crazy cousins. I watched my granddad and uncles sit on the porch, rain or shine, smoking and joking, arguing about politics and trying to solve the problems of the world. I listened to mygrandmother, mother and aunts stir (搅拌) pots on the stove and talk about their lives, hopes, dreams and disappointments, and gossip about any sister who failed to show up.The food was always plentiful and delicious﹣country ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, biscuits and my grandmother's banana pudding. But for me, the food was never the highlight. The highlight was simply being together. A family.However, they're all gone now. My parents and grandparents, my aunts and uncles have left this world for the next. My cousins are scattered here and there. And yet the memories ________, along with the love that we shared.I treasure those memories and the things they taught me. They told me that families aren't perfect, but they prepare us to find our way in an imperfect world. They made me realize that all families are crazy in their own particular ways.My husband and I are growing a new family, while keeping close to the surviving members of the families. It's a beautiful blend (混合) of kindness, traditions, nurturing (养育)and friendships, which grows year after year.I hope this holiday season will fill you with lovely memories of the family that raised you, and surround you with all the people who mean "family" to you now.(1)What do we know about the author's family according to the article?________A She didn't get on well with her cousins.B Her grandpa and uncles were politicians.C Her family delighted in their gatherings.D The female members liked to show off..(2)The author appreciated the gatherings mainly because________.A there was a lot of inviting foodB special gifts were selected thoughtfullyC they brought the family closer togetherD she got to see relatives who seldom visited.(3)What does the underlined word "linger" in paragraph 6 probably mean?________A Disappear.B Remain.C Increase.D Fade..(4)What did the author learn from her family?________A Good families should live together.B Imperfect families may help us adjust to the world.C Memories of perfect families deserve treasuring.D It's necessary to create crazy family traditions.3. During the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this "open science" is already making a difference.Soon after the epidemic (流行病) started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn't keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open﹣access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.Due to this openness, companies producing drugs across the globe are now able to workat the same time to develop a vaccine(疫苗). "There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different age groups, " Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. "The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more flexible we'll be when fighting against coronavirus outbreaks in the future."Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their studyresults. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soonas April, according to The Verge.This openness in science is going to be even more important in the future. "With climate change, increasing globalization, and population shifts, epidemics will not go away, and might even become more frequent, " Dan Barouch, a Harvard Medical School professor, told Harvard Magazine.He said, "No one group can do everything. It has to be a cooperative approach. But I do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to developknowledge, drugs, and treatment very rapidly."Every epidemic is indeed a crisis, but it can also be a learning opportunity. One redeeming (补偿的) factor of the COVID﹣19 outbreak is that it is helping science adaptfor the better.(1)What does the article mainly talk about?________A Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic in Africa.B Some scientific knowledgewe've learned from the epidemic. C The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge. D What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics..(2)The positive effect of what the research team from Fudan University did is that________.A they alerted the world to the danger of the virus B they helped remove people's fearof the virus C they showed the world how to produce a vaccine D they invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine.(3)What is the author's purpose of mentioning remdesivir in paragraph 4?________A To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic.B To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus.C To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries.D To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained..(4)Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with?________A Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to climate change.B The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics.C No single group can fight against the epidemics independently.D The increase in globalization may bring about more epidemics.4. Calling someone a "birdbrain" is considered rude. It implies that someone has a small brain and thus is not smart. A new study found that the expression doesn't do birds justice either. Birds' brains are much bigger than we thought﹣at least compared to their small bodies.An international team of 37 scientists measured the brain volume of hundreds of dinosaurs and extinct birds by scanning fossils of their skulls. The readings were compared to a large database containing the brain sizes of modern birds. These measurements were then analyzed, taking into consideration each bird's body size﹣resulting in something called "relative brain size". The results showed that a dramatic change of birds' body size happened right after the mass extinction of dinosaurs 66 million years ago.According to the study, published on April 23 in the journal Current Biology, birds and non﹣avian (非鸟类的) dinosaurs had similar brain sizes before the extinction. After the extinction of the dinosaurs, however, birds had to find a way to survive, so they shrank their bodies﹣since smaller animals need less food﹣but they kept their big brains."The changed landscape may have caused the rapid evolution of new brain﹣body scaling patterns (缩放比例) by favoring both larger brains and smaller bodies, " US paleontologist (古生物学家) Daniel Ksepka, who is the lead author of the study, told CNN.This "evolutionary brain leap"﹣as scientists call it﹣also happened veryrapidly. Without dinosaurs, birds quickly repopulated. They came in all types and sizes, which contributed to the diverse species of birds we see today.But among all the bird species, certain ones "show above average rates of brain and body size evolution", study co﹣author Adam Smith at Clemson University, US, said in a statement﹣with crows and parrots being the most evident. In fact, previous studies have already discovered that these birds have an amazing cognitive ability. They are able to use tools, imitate human speech and even remember human faces.So, in the words of Smith, "calling someone 'bird﹣brained' is actually quite a compliment!"(1)How did scientists learn the brain sizes of dinosaurs and extinct birds?________A By referring to a database.B By analyzing their body size.C By studying their fossil skulls.D By examining the brain size of modern birds..(2)What were birds' brains like after the extinction of the dinosaurs?________A They were the same size as non﹣avian dinosaurs.B They shrank to adapt to theenvironment. C They kept growing to avoid extinction. D They remained as bigas they were before..(3)According to Adam Smith, what do we know about birds?________A Their brain evolution happened very rapidly.B Some species evolved to be smarter than others.C Crows and parrots have the largest bird brains.D Birds have amazing abilities to copy human speech..(4)What is the purpose of this text?________A To explain the origin of the word "birdbrain".B To describe how a bird evolved through history.C To present a new study on birds' brain size.D To reveal reasons for the rapid growth of bird populations.第二节(共1小题;每小题10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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.选项中有两项为多余选项.5. If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following golden rules for meeting management.Assign a note﹣taker or arrange to have the meeting audio﹣taped. You may need to refer back to an issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date.(1)_______(2)_______ So many times we think we are going to say and, in the process, block out valid points that other group members may be contributing. Additionally, we often hear only what we want to hear, rather than really listening to other people. Meetings that are characterized by effective listening are successful meetings.Give everyone an opportunity to be heard.(3)_______ As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.(4)_______ Many times important issues can get sidetracked in a meeting, especiallywhen everyone has a different opinion about the topic. If you anticipate a conflict prior to the meeting, discuss the issue with participants in advance. If an unanticipated (未预料到的) conflict develops once the meeting is in progress, ask participants involved in the conflict to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will minimize the chances of wasting participants' valuable time.End on time. If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting last for an hour.(5)_______ Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that members will mentally leave the meeting,and reduces your credibility (可靠性) as an effective meeting manager.A. Learn to listen.B. Start the meeting on time.C. Keep the discussion on track.D. Good record﹣keeping is a sign of good meeting manager as well.E. Some people tend to monopolize (独占) meetings, while others wait to be asked.F. You can appoint a sub committee to look into the problem in order to save time.G. Meeting participants tend to plan the rest of their day according to the meeting schedule.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分;满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.6.

As the world froze and melted and sea levels rose and fell over30, 000 years, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, which is roughly the size of Italy, died and revived five times. But now, thanks to human activity, corals face the most complex mixture of conditions they have yet had to deal with.According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a rise in global temperatures of 1.5°C relative to pre﹣industrial times could cause coral reefs to decline by 70﹣90%. When waters become unusually warm, corals throw out the algae, leaving reefs a ghostly white. This ________ is happening five times as often as it did in the 1970s.Corals need protection from local sources of harm. Their ecosystems suffer from coastal currents, whether dirty water or waste from farms. Plastic and other rubbish block sunlight and spread aggressive bacteria. Governments need to carry out tighter rules on these industries, such as tougher local building codes, and to put more effort into strengthening rules against overfishing.Many reefs that have been damaged could benefit from restoration. Coral's biodiversity offers hope, because the same coral will grow differently under different conditions. Corals of the western Pacific near Indonesia, for example, can survive higher temperatures than the same species in the eastern Pacific near Hawaii.Stronger measures to fight against the larger threats corals face should also attract more research. Shading reefs using a polymer film as a sunscreen to cool them is under discussion for parts of the Great Barrier Reef. Other schemes to help corals involve genetic engineering, selective breeding and brightening the clouds in the sky above an area of the reef by spraying salt into the lowest ones, so that they turn away more of the sun's energy. These measures may sound extreme, but people need to get used to thinking big. Dealing with the problems caused by climate change will call for some far﹣reaching ideas.(1)Thorough thinking is needed to save the coral reefs because________.A corals have come back in the Great Barrier Reef in AustraliaB corals are frozen and melted five times over 30,000 yearsC corals are strong enough to survive human activityD human activity are threatening the condition of coral reefs.(2)The underlined word ''bleaching'' most probably means________.A warmingB throwing outC whiteningD dying.(3)Corals are being damaged by the following local sources EXCEPT________.A coastal water flowsB more sunlightC waste from farmsD bad bacteria.(4)Some extreme solutions to saving corals are mentioned in the passage in orderto________.A encourage people to come up with more ideasB introduce some advanced technological progressC raise people's awareness of protecting theenvironment D warn people of the threats and risks corals are facing.3. Decision﹣making can be extremely difficult. Decision﹣making styles are significantly different in different cultures.In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations, the Western world turns to the "I to you" approach while Japan, the "you to you" approach. The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view. Naturally, often comes a confrontation (冲突) situation, which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person's point ofview. Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual (相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.Besides, Western decision﹣making goes mostly from top management and often does not consult middle management or the worker. However, in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels. Based on "bottom﹣up direction", ideas can be created at the lowest levels, travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.Difference in decision﹣making also comes from different communication styles. The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony, even if the deal fails, and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a "you to you" approach, communicating personal views only indirectly. They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings. Thus Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a specific decision, the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.On the other hand, once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners carry out the decision. The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners, perhaps, lag behind as they take the time for in﹣depth planning.(1)A Japanese business bases its decision________.A on top﹣down directionB on nothing but its workers' viewsC on bottom﹣up directionD only on its top leaders' opinions.(2)The text mainly tells us that Japan and the Western world________.A face great difficulty in making decisionsB are different in decision﹣makingstyles C have all members contribute to a decision D have two approaches:"I to you" and "you to I".(3)Which of the following is TRUE of the Westerners?________A They carry out the decision once it is made.B There are many meetings in their businesses.C They work to achieve harmony in doing business.D They are good at handling confrontation situation..(4)The author's attitude towards Japanese decision﹣making is________.A positiveB criticalC negativeD casual.4. The San Francisco Giants added a special pitcher(投球手)for the day. It was small﹣yet fierce﹣Hailey Dawson, who has a 3D﹣printed hand.The energetic 8﹣year﹣old from Nevada was invited to throw out the first pitch at the Giants game on Sunday. Dawson was born with Poland syndrome(综合症), a disorder in which affected individuals are born with missing or underdeveloped muscles on one side of the body. It affected her hand.With a traditional prosthetic(假肢)potentially costing thousands of dollars, Hailey's mom, Yong Dawson turned to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for help. She emailed UNLV engineering, and they accepted the challenge. Brendan O'Toole, chairman of the mechanical engineering department, said he and his team had got a lot of requests, "but this one was different." They got to work using a 3D﹣printer.Several prototypes(原型)and fittings later, Dawson got her first hand about four years ago.Hailey's mother said the hand had given her daughter a wonderful lift. "When she puts this robotic hand on, it changes her personality and confidence level, " Yong Dawson told CBS San Francisco. "I love seeing that. I just wanted her to have an even playing field." When she arrived at AT&T Park on Sunday, Hailey got to hang out with players in the shelter at the side of the sports field. They even let her try on their World Series rings.Using her 3D﹣printed hand, Dawson threw out the perfect first pitch. Then with a wave and a smile, she headed into the stands to cheer on her newfound friends on the Giants.(1)What caused the function loss of Hailey's hand?________A A serious brain disorder.B A born physical problem.C An awful game accident.D An unexpected infection..(2)Why did Yong Dawson ask the University of Nevada for help?________A She couldn't find a suitable hospital.B She knew it had the advanced 3D﹣printer.C She couldn't afford a traditional prosthetic.D She was forced to accept the tough challenge..(3)What is Hailey's mother's attitude towards the 3D﹣printed hand?________A Skeptical.B Positive.C Ambiguous.D Cautious..(4)Which of the following is the best title for the text?________A Mother's love makes a huge differenceB A talented young pitcher gets a great futureC The 3D﹣printing technology is changing our lifeD A girl with a 3D﹣printed hand throws her first pitch.第二节(共1小题;每小题10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.并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.选项中有两项为多余选项.5.

A72 hours in BeijingTraveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders.

Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked – it was a househol d name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime.

Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message —“K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few wordshere. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediate ly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32.
