浙江省宁波市2018年高三模拟考试英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
AHere's another reason to get off the couch and start working up a sweat. Time the exercise right and you could improve your ability to remember something new. That's the finding of a new study.But it all comes down to timing. To lock up the new information, start burning those calories roughly four hours after you took in the new information. That's according to researchers at an institute on brain, cognition（认知）and behavior. It's at Radboud University's Medical Center, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Eelco van Dongen and his colleagues shared their new findings in the June 16 Current Biology.This precisely timed memory trick comes from tests with 72 people. Each learned the location of 90 objects on a computer screen. Afterwards, some of the members watched relaxing nature videos. Others worked up a sweat on body-building bikes, changing between hard and easy riding for 35 minutes. Their workouts came either soon after the cram session（考前突击复习）or four hours later.Two days later they were tested again, Those who remembered the objects' sites best were the people who had waited four hours after their learning before riding. Among those who remembered sites correctly, the four-hour delay before biking also led to more consistent activity in an area important for memory. It's known as the hippocampus（海马区）.The consistent activity here suggests that the memories had been strong, the scientists say.Van Dongen's team does not yet know how exercise works its memo magic. They do, however, have a guess. Aerobic exercise leads to me creation of several important chemicals in the brain. One is a protein known as BDNF. The other is dopamine (DO-puh-meen). It can help convey messages between nerve cells. These two chemicals may help strengthen memories by linking brain cells, the researchers suspect.21.The best way to lock up the new information is .A.to get off the couch soon after their learningB.to do sports for four hours and work up a sweatC.to see some nature videos on a computer screenD.to do sports four hours after taking in new information22.Which is NOT right about the experiment?A.There are 90 objects on the screen.B.They were tested again two days later.C.72 people took part in the experiment.D.They all had to do riding for 35minutes.23.How does exercise work its memory magic?A.By the hippocampus.B.No one knows for sure.C.A protein known as BDNF.D.A protein known as dopamine.BFor the Swiss, punctuality is a source of deep satisfaction. They obtain real joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient manner. Whenever I visit Switzerland, I go through several stages of punctuality reaction. At first it delights me, especially if I'm coming from Neighbouring Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to timekeeping. By contrast, life in Switzerland is enthusiastic and dependable. If someone says they will meet me at 2 pm, they arrive at 2 pm not 2:05 (or 1:55,for that matter). I like this, for a while.Then it annoys me. The extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of being mean, and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that "punctuality is the virtue of the bored."That is unfair though, and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is: a deep expression of respect for other people. A punctual person is a considerate one. By showing up on time for everything, a Swiss person is saying, in effect, " I value your time and, by extension, I value you."It's no coincidence that the Swiss are the world's watchmakers. Which came first, the precise clocks and watches or the precise people? Hard to say, but the result is the same: a nation where the trains and everything else really do run on time.How to explain this punctuality? No one knows for sure. But a popular theory is that, historically, it arises from the tough, mountainous area. Either you planted your crops on time andharvested them at the correct time or, well, you starved.Punctuality, sadly, is a dying art in many parts of the world. Mobile phones are partly to blame. We feel less compelled（紧迫的）to arrive on time if we can always text to say we're running a few minutes late. I don't sense that is happening in Switzerland, though.Punctuality is not without its weaknesses. Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation, and if that expectation is not met, disappointment follows. On those rare occasions when things do not function smoothly, the Swiss get nervous, confused and angry.24.What's NOT the author's attitude towards the Swiss punctuality?A.Pleasant.B.Exhausted.C.Annoyed.D.Appreciated.25.What do the Swiss people want to show by arriving on time?A.To show their respect for other people.B.To show that they have the best watches.C.To show that they are considerate persons.D.To show that they are the best watchmakers in the world.26.The passage is probably taken from a .A.A history bookB.A business newspaperC.A cultural guidebookD.An economic magazineCA contest organised by Airbnb is offering three lucky winners the chance to spend a night in the company of sharks. The winners and their guests will get access to a transparent（透明的）glass bedroom in the 33-foot deep Paris Aquarium where 35 sharks are living.Interested applicants, who must be 18 years or older and in good health, can apply for the contest through the Airbnb website. "On the 11th,12th,and 13th of April, the Paris Aquarium will open its doors for a night in a room full of sharks," the website states. "And not just any room: you will sleep in a round bed, with a breathtaking view of the world of sharks."The unusual event will be hosted by a free diver, photographer, and shark enthusiast Fred Buyle, and a biologist will provide the winners with a special course on sharks-their mysterious lives and their role in the ocean's ecosystem, with which the winners can better understand the sharks and thus avoid disturbing their life in the aquarium when they stay there.Upon arrival, the winners will first be taken to their room for presentations, followed by dinner at the shark tunnel and a night stay among the sharks. A twin bed, soap, toilet paper, andshampoo are all included in the package, as well as breakfast the next morning. The stay is completely free, and so is the travel arrangement to and from Paris.Applications must also include a message addressed to the judges. In 50 to 500 characters, applicants must explain why they're the perfect candidate for the event. The choices of languages include English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. In case of Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the word limit is between 50 and 300. Remember that other languages are not allowed. Of course, an Airbnb account is a must requirement for every applicant.If selected, the winners will be forbidden from diving or swimming in the aquarium, and will be required to keep their hands and feet indoors at all times. Photographing is not allowed because sharks are sensitive to light. Besides, the organisers advise against watching movies like Jaws before checking in.27.What will the three winners of the contest be allowed to do?A.Swim along with some sharks.B.Play with sharks for two days.C.View how sharks sleep at night.D.Sleep in a room surrounded by sharks.28.What's the purpose of the special course in Paragraph 3?A.To help the winners develop an interest in sharks.B.To guide the winners how to live in the aquarium.C.To tell the winners about the ecosystem in the ocean.D.To help the winners learn how not to disturb the sharks.29.When people apply for the contest,they don't need to .A.open an account on the Airbnb websiteB.apply for the contest through the Airbnb websiteC.write a message in one of the required languagesD.pay the application fee along with the applying letter30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the winners?A.They can dive in the aquarium.B.They can take photos of the sharks.C.They must stay indoors at all times.D.They must watch movies about sharks before checking in.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。

I recently gave up driving． I passed my test last year, but I stopped voluntarily when I turned 90． I thought that it was finally the right time．Needless to say, my family was relieved﹣﹣﹣they didn't have to have" that talk" with me． My doctor was relieved too． Next to diagnosing an incurable illness, taking away a senior's driving license is probably one of the hardest things he must do． Since my wife passed away years ago, I made this decision alone, although I'm sure my late wife would have approved． I knew I couldn't move as well as I used to, and my vision was getting worse． It hurt to turn my head when backing up, and, after lengthy shopping trips, I was exhausted．As I handed over the keys of the car to my son, I thought of all the cars my wife and I had owned over the years． A car is freedom, independence, and an ________ of your personality． Without one, you feel like less of a person．I have a son who lives close by and we shop together at least once a week． My neighbors also offer me rides, but the idea of being dependent on other people after a lifetime of independence is hard to get used to．I've learned to adapt and change, With my own car, I could go anywhere at a moment's notice． But now, my horizons have shrunk and I must plan ahead for everything． No more popping out for milk or bread or last﹣minute afternoon drives．However, I found a solution to some of those problems． Last year, I decided to buy a nice new four﹣wheel electric scooter． At a top speed of 12 km/h, it takes 20 minutes to get from my house to the grocery store． But now, my route is free from traffic and noise, with trees and greenery replacing cars and street signs．Giving up diving is hard, and some of us never accept the los For me, however, it was just the end result of a long and lucky life． Life in the slow lane （车道） turned out to be so much fun and so much cheaper．（1）What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs？________A He decided to stop driving by persuasion．B He developed an incurable illness at the age of 90．C He checked with his late wife before making the decision．D He realized his health went from bad to worse．．（2）Which one has the same meaning as the undlined word in paragraph 3？________A Guests could get the Food List and ________ numbers in the Room ServiceGuide． B The ________ of the subway will take several months． C How people choose to dress is often an ________ of who they are． D They applied for a visa ________ so that they could stay in that country for one more month．（3）How did the author balance his life without the car？________A He broke away from the traffic and noise．B He got a new vehicle and adapted to driving slowly．C He shared the rides with his son or neighbors every dayD He took his seniors driving license back from his son and drove again．．（4）What is the main purpose of this article？________A To describe the typical life of an old man．B To persuade readers to live a slower life．C To stress the importance of being independentD To show that a change of life may bring positive outcomes．8. With their pipes and lids to avoid spills, coffee cups have long been the substitute for adults． Now Starbucks is going all in on the concept by swearing to get rid of straws by 2020﹣﹣and it's all for a very good reason． This move is an answer to our own partners about what we can do to reduce the need for straws． Not using a straw is the best thing we can do for the environment．In place of plastic straws, Starbucks plans to offer recyclable lids for all iced drinks and per straws for coffee． The ________ is already taking place in Starbucks' hometown of Seattle, where a ban on plastic straws went into place on July I． By rolling his t n l 28, 00 of her ors by 2020, e comp says they are annually removing more than one billion straws from going into circulation﹣and potentially the ocean．Starbucks' decision to gradually stop using single﹣use plastic straws is a shining exampleof the important role that companies can play in stopping the tide of ocean plastic． With eight million metric tons of plastic entering the ocean every year, we cannot afford to let industry sit on the sidelines． Marine life has a 50% death rate when it swallows plastic yet researchers believe there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by the year 2050 if this rate of litter continues． That means there can be an immediate positive impact if we swap plastic straws for environmentally friendly alternatives．The smart design on the cup for cold drinks comes from Starbucks' in﹣house team of designers and has been in development for two years． However, the announcement comes as outcry（倒彩）increases over the dangers that plastic straws can cause to marinelife． Other companies making the eco﹣friendly swap also announced plans last month to test alternatives to plastic straws．（1）Why does Starbucks decide to get rid of plastic straws？________A To decrease its cost．B To satisfy the customers' needs．C To create a greener planet．D To enlarge its business worldwide．．（2）The underlined word "transition" in paragraph 2 refers to________．A courseB changeC circulation．D conflict．．（3）What's the text mainly about？________A Starbucks is throwing away plastic straws for a worthy cause．B A sales promotionof a new brand by Starbucks is being done C Scientists are making efforts to solve ocean plastic pollution． D Environmentally friendly material will replace plastic straws．第二节：（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.9.

2017年浙江省宁波市高考英语模拟试卷（5月份）副标题一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AFor the Swiss，punctuality is a source of deep satisfaction．They obtain real joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient manner．Whenever I visit Switzerland，I go through several stages of punctuality reaction．At first it delights me，especially if I'm coming from Neighbouring Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to timekeeping．By contrast，life in Switzerland is enthusiastic and dependable．If someone says they will meet me at 2 pm，they arrive at 2 pm not 2：05 （or 1：55，for that matter）．I like this，for a while．Then it annoys me．The extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of being mean，and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that "punctuality is the virtue of the bored．"That is unfair though，and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is：a deep expression of respect for other people．A punctual person is a considerate one．By showing up on time for everything，a Swiss person is saying，in effect，"I value your time and，by extension，I value you．"It's no coincidence that the Swiss are the world's watchmakers．Which came first，the precise clocks and watches or the precise people？Hard to say，but the result is the same：a nation where the trains and everything else really do run on time．How to explain this punctuality？No one knows for sure．But a popular theory is that，historically，it arises from the tough，mountainous area．Either you planted your crops on time and harvested them at the correct time or，well，you starved．Punctuality，sadly，is a dying art in many parts of the world．Mobile phones are partly to blame．We feel less compelled（紧迫的）to arrive on time if we can always text to say we're running a few minutes late．I don't sense that is happening in Switzerland，though．Punctuality is not without its weaknesses．Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation，and if that expectation is not met，disappointment follows．On those rare occasions when things do not function smoothly，the Swiss get nervous，confused and angry．1.What's NOT the author's attitude towards the Swiss punctuality？______A. Pleasant．B. Exhausted．C. Annoyed．D. Appreciated．2.What do the Swiss people want to show by arriving on time？______A. To show their respect for other people．B. To show that they have the best watches．C. To show that they are considerate persons．D. To show that they are the best watchmakers in the world．3.The passage is probably taken from a ______ ．A. A history bookB. A business newspaperC. A cultural guidebookD. An economic magazine【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】C【解析】BAC1．B．理解推断题．由第一段punctuality（守时） is a source of deep satisfaction、第二段Then it annoys me、第三段a deep expression of respect for other people可以分别看出我对瑞士守时的态度是满意、恼怒、敬佩的，B选项未提及，故选B．2．A．细节理解题．由第三段and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is：a deep expression of respect for other people，可知瑞士人的守时是为了表达对别人的尊重，故选A．3．C．理解推断题．本文讲述了瑞士人守时的一种文化现象，因此应该是来自文化指南，故选C．本文讲述了在瑞士，人们很守时的文化特点，以及作者对此的评价．阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．BA contest organised by Airbnb is offering three lucky winners the chance to spend a night in the company of sharks．The winners and their guests will get access to a transparent（透明的）glass bedroom in the 33-foot deep Paris Aquarium where 35 sharks are living．Interested applicants，who must be 18 years or older and in good health，can apply for the contest through the Airbnb website．"On the 11th，12th，and 13th of April，the Paris Aquarium will open its doors for a night in a room full of sharks，" the website states．"And not just any room：you will sleep in a round bed，with a breathtaking view of the world of sharks．" The unusual event will be hosted by a free diver，photographer，and shark enthusiast Fred Buyle，and a biologist will provide the winners with a special course on sharks-their mysterious lives and their role in the ocean's ecosystem，with which the winners can better understand the sharks and thus avoid disturbing their life in the aquarium when they stay there．Upon arrival，the winners will first be taken to their room for presentations，followed by dinner at the shark tunnel and a night stay among the sharks．A twin bed，soap，toilet paper，and shampoo are all included in the package，as well as breakfast the next morning．The stay is completely free，and so is the travel arrangement to and from Paris．Applications must also include a message addressed to the judges．In 50 to 500 characters，applicants must explain why they're the perfect candidate for the event．The choices of languages include English，German，Spanish，French，Italian and Portuguese．In case of Chinese，Japanese，and Korean，the word limit is between 50 and 300．Remember that other languages are not allowed．Of course，an Airbnb account is a must requirement for every applicant．If selected，the winners will be forbidden from diving or swimming in the aquarium，and will be required to keep their hands and feet indoors at all times．Photographing is not allowed because sharks are sensitive to light．Besides，the organisers advise against watching movies like Jaws before checking in．4.What will the three winners of the contest be allowed to do？______A. Swim along with some sharks．B. Play with sharks for two days．C. View how sharks sleep at night．D. Sleep in a room surrounded by sharks．5.What's the purpose of the special course in Paragraph 3？______A. To help the winners develop an interest in sharks．B. To guide the winners how to live in the aquarium．C. To tell the winners about the ecosystem in the ocean．D.

There are 90 objects on the screen．B. They were tested again two days later．C. 72 people took part in the experiment．D. They all had to do riding for 35 minutes．10.How does exercise work its memory magic？______A. By the hippocampus．B. No one knows for sure．C. A protein known as BDNF．D. A protein known as dopamine．【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】D 【小题3】B【解析】1．D．细节理解题．根据第二段第二句"To lock up the new information， start burning those calories roughly four hours after you t ook in the new information．"可知，锁定新信息的最佳方法是在获取新信息四小时后进行体育运动．故选D．2．D．细节理解题．根据第三段第三、四句"Afterwards， some of the members watched relaxing nature videos． Others worked up a s weat on bodybuilding bikes …"可知，并不是所有测试者都骑35分钟的自行车，D项错误．故选D．3．B．细节理解题．根据最后一段第一句"Van Dongen's team does not yet know how exercise works its memory magic．"可知，没有人确切知道锻炼是如何增进记忆力的．故选B．本文是一篇社会文化类阅读，属于说明文，主要讲述了一项研究发现锻炼时间正确，可以有效提高记忆力．考查细节理解题和推理判断题．在做细节理解题时，首先根据题目要求迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语．认真比较选项和文中细节的区别，在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）When home is far away，the sense of ease and belonging that so many people feel can transform into painful feelings of longing，commonly known as homesickness．Along with feelings of insecurity，loss of control and nervousness，physical effects，including sleep issues，tiredness and loss of appetite，are also caused by homesickness．（1）______ Check them out below：●Realize that f eeling homesick is 100 percent normal．Almost everyone experiences homesickness when moving to a new place-some people might just be better at hiding it．（2）______ Homesickness is a normal and evolutionarily healthy reaction．●Make connections with new p eople in comfortable settings．Feeling homesick when separated from loved ones motivates people to be with those supportive people．（3）______ When making new connections，it's best to stick to the style that works for you in order to ease homesickness．●（4）______This point is vital and also one of the hardest to accomplish．Self-compassion is loving yourself just as you love the ones you care about．The most important step in practicing self-compassion is substituting negative，critical and，sometimes，automatic thoughts about yourself with thoughts that are more supportive and kind．●Keep tabs on your negativity．It's also useful to ask yourself how much of your homesickness is due to an event，such as being separated from loved ones，and how much is from how you're understanding a situation．（5）______ A positive outlook on a situation can do wonders for your mood，but it often can be hard to practice．You can silence negative thoughts in many ways，including reciting positive mantras（祷文），keeping a journal or even taking a walk in a park．If you're dealing with feelings of homesickness，remember you're not alone．Even though there's no place like home，give yourself some time and care，and you might find yourself falling in love with a new place．A．Learn to help others．B．Practice self-compassion．C．Being homesick is abnormal．D．Being homesick is not a sign of personal shortcoming．E．We gathered a few psychologist-backed tips to help ease homesickness．F．Taking a step back is recommended，instead of falling into the trap of a negative outlook．G．But keep in mind that everyone is different when it comes to forming those new relationships．11.

wrote a children's book Miracle，a fictional story about trying to fit in when you stand out．Since it was released earlier this year，the book （1）______（appear） in classrooms and libraries（2）______the country，bringing with it（3）______ powerful message about the importance of kindness．（4）______ （base）on a true story，the book tells about a boy named Auggie，（5）______was born with a misshapen face that

graphic designer for more than 20 years before she（10）______（inspire）to write Miracle．Now she is using the book to promote the impact of kindness．【答案】has appeared；across/throughout；a；Based；who；operations；After；else；friendship；was inspired【解析】61．has appeared．考查谓语动词的时态．根据时间状语Since it was released earlier this year，可知主句用现在完成时态，所以谓语动词用has appeared．62．across/throughout．考查介词．本句表示"自从今年它出版以后，它出现在全国的教室和图书馆"，所以用across/throughout表示"遍布"．63．a．考查冠词．修饰powerful message，表示"一条强大的信息"用a．64．Based．考查过去分词．做方式状语，和主语the book 是被动关系，所以用Based．65．who．考查定语从句的关系词．代指先行词Auggie，做定语从句的主语用who．66．operations．考查名词．根据修饰词 many可知用可数名词operation的复数operations．67．After．考查介词．本句表示"从幼儿园在家自学以后，五年级开始在公立学校上学"，所以用介词After．68．else．考查不定代词．修饰 everybody表示"其他的任何人"用else．69．friendship．考查派生词．表示"友谊和无怨接受（逆境、困境）"用两个并列的名词friendship and acceptance．70．was inspired．考查谓语动词的语态．和主句Harvey worked as an art director and graphic designer for more than 20 years 呼应，在 before 的时间状语从句里谓语动词inspire和主语she是被动关系，所以用was inspired．S．T．Harvey写了一本儿童书的奇迹，一个试图虚构的故事．自从今年它出版以后，它出现在全国的教室和图书馆．这本书以一个名为Auggie的小男孩真实的故事为基础，他从幼儿园在家自学以后，五年级才开始在公立学校上学，这本书就写了他学会友谊和无怨接受（逆境、困境）的经历．考查语法填空．现在完成时的用法（1）与just连用，表示刚刚完成的动作或状态（just放在have∕has与P．P．之间）．I have just had lunch．He has just finished his homework．（2）表示动作发生在过去，持续到现在，有可能延续到将来，常与since"自从…"（后面跟一点时间）for（后面跟一段时间）连用．I have learned English since 2000．He has lived there for 10 years．五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共40.0分）37.阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要．Many Chinese students have studied English for approximately ten years，but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently．In my opinion，there are several obstacles that have caused this to happen．The main obstacle is fear!A nother is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change th ese thoughts into spoken words and sentences．Many of these difficulties are caused bythe way Chinese people study and learn the language．We must learn to speak as a child does．When we are learning a second language we need to remember how we learned our native language．Learning to understand and sp eak a language is one of the first skills a child develops．How does a child learn the lan guage？He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words．Parents give great praise for t he smallest effort and slightest improvement．Therefore，the child develops courage and is excited about learning．It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar，spelling or formal sentence structures．As for language teachers，they should avoid criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise．Criticis m or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a f ear of speaking．The best way to motivate a student is using praise．The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem．Self-esteem is ho w you feel about yourself．When most Chinese people are asked how their English is，or they are told their English is very good，they immediately respond by saying，"Oh my English is very poor．"If you say this to yourself often enough，you will believe it．When someone compliments（称赞）you，just say"thank you"．______【答案】Caused by their fear and way of learning，many Chinese students cannot speak English fluently even after ten-years'learning．（要点1）Actually we should learn to speak English as a child learns his native language by listening and repeating a lot．（要点2）And teachers should praise and encourage rather than criticize students，just as parents do．（要点3）Finally，having good self-esteem is of vital importance in speaking English..（要点4）【解析】Caused by their fear and way of learning，many Chinese students cannot speak English fluently even after ten-years'learning（高分句型一）．（要点1）Actually we should learn to speak English as a child learns his native language by listening and repeating a lot．（要点2）And teachers should praise and encourage rather than criticize students，just as parents do．（要点3）Finally，having good self-esteem is of vital importance in speaking English（高分句型二）..（要点4）写好这类作文要注意几个步骤：1．认真审题，找准提示语中的关键词或句，确定中心思想．2．依据关键句，草拟提纲，梳理文章的脉络3．准确定位人称、时态．注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次．4．最后还要认真查验是否有漏写情况，有无拼写错误及标点误用等高分句型一：Caused by their fear and way of learning，many Chinese students cannot speak English fluently even after ten-years'learning他们的恐惧和学习方式造成的，很多中国学生不能流利地说英语，即使经过十年的学习．高分句型二：Finally，having good self-esteem is of vital importance in speaking English．最后，拥有良好的自尊对于讲英语是十分重要的．开放性作文给出一定的写作主题，并此为基础进行思维和联想，自由发挥．不仅考查学生在内容、结构安排、语言运用和组织方面的能力，而且对学生的想像力、发散思维、归纳判断能力也有很高的要求．38.假定你是李明．你校邀请了英国伯明翰大学的Elliot
