Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the bodyrecovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!1. A good title for this is ____.A. SleepC. DreamsB. Good HealthD. Work and Rest2. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sickC. asleepB. stand upD. a little sleepy3. This suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you_____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly4.

happy you were when you saw my first picture on the screen.The happiness stopped when the doctortold you I was a girl.Your whole body became cold and Papa didn't say a word，either.That night my little world broke down when I heard Papa said that a second girl has no right to be born.I have the right to be born，Mummy.Is being a girl that terrible？What crimes have I done？You cried and shouted“NO”!However，you then gave in with tears.I could feel your pain,Mummy.But,no，Mummy！Don’t kill me！Mummy,I want to be born.I want to live with you.I want you to hug and love me.I want to be your pride.I want to play with my elder sister.Mummy,I want to celebrate my birthday.…Maybe I ask too much.Your cry lasted the whole night and it became louder with my kicking.Once my little movements had given you so much delight but now it causes more pain than happiness.Grandma had told you it’s a man’s world,and she once gave you a detailed description of how girls were ill treated in the real world.Mummy,it is this that you are so scared of？You doubted whether you were able to protect another girl against being hurt?I guess there is only one person who is really eager about my birth.That is my elder sister.She even spent hours thinking of a name for me.Anupriya，isn’t that a beautiful name for a girl.I promise I will be as good as a boy,even better，if you give me a chance，if you let me live.In this waiting room,we have been sitting for quite a long time.My only crime is mysex，and my punishment will be death.1.When you are reading the letter,you can feel a（n）_______atmosphere.

against sex discrimination.C.To state that women and men should have the equal right.D.To compose an imaginary story that can not be true.阅读理解（二）The people in the room were tense.Five young engineers were sitting with their boss. They were trying to settle something about where to set up an important new plant.Suddenly one of the young engineers said what he thought was a good way of dealing with the problem.What he had to say met with an uncomfortable silence.The boss then laughingly pointed out that the same suggestion had been made and rejected some minutes before.The incident seemed funny at the time.But several months later it didn’t.After the work had been successfully finished,most of the engineers who had worked on it were promoted.But the young man who had made a fool of himself at the meeting was passed over.What had happened?The young engineer was sure that he had never heard the suggestion made and rejected.He was right.He was a victim of a bad listening habit that he didn’t know he had.Bad listening habits can hurt you a lot in your daily living. Much of your success,both in your work and social life,is related to how you listen.A number of major industries and more than twenty leading colleges have become very concerned about our bad listening habits.They have set up listening clinics and courses to find out what is wrong----and what to do about it.1.What does the word“rejected”in the second paragraph mean?A.Passed throughB.Passed awayC.RefusedD.Delayed2.Which of the following is NOT the young man’s attitude（态度）towards the trouble that happened to him?A、He wanted to improved his listening habit.B、He didn’t realize that he had a bad listening habit.C、He thought what he had done was right.D、He thought nobody had made the same suggestion as he did.3.The purpose of the text is to show that________.A、the young man didn’t accept suggestions made by othersB、much of your success is related to how well you listenC、much of your success is related to how well you listen to your bossD、the young man’s insistence on his own ideas led to his failure4.From the text we can get the conclusion（结论）that_______.A、the young man’s boss was not a good leaderB、the boss didn’t like the young man from the very beginningC、it was all because of the young man’s bad listening habit that he failed to beD、promoted the young man made the same suggestion as had already been accepted四、书面表达：(满分15分)请你为一个中学参观团起草一份通知，用一段话说明以下要点：参观日期：7月22日，星期六时间：早上8点钟出发。

Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main th ing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervousExactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what youwrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper(1). The topic of the passage is ________A. how to be a good writerB. how to be a good speakerC. how to express yourself with your wordsD. how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2). The public speech course mainly teaches students ______A. how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB. how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC. how to collect data needed and organize itD. how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3). The similarity between making a public speech and writing isthat _______A. you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB. you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC. you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD. both of them have audience(4). In the opinion of the author, public speaking is much easier than writing because _______A. public speaking requires less effort than writingB. it’ s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC. you face the audience directly in public speaking; while writingis otherwiseD. in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5). The author of this passage probably is a ________A. bossB. politicianC. writerD. professor2."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil warwas the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B.

What do you learn about Mrs. Stowe from the passage? ( )A. AShe had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War.B. She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C. She was better as writing as using a sword.D. She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America? ( )A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B. She disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.(5). What can we learn from the passage? ( )A. We needn''t use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".3. The ordinary raindrop is a mighty earth mover with sufficient strength to cut rock. When rainwater collects on the surface of the ground, some of it evaporates and some of it sinks into the earth.The remainder begins to flow downhill, commencing its lengthy journey form brook to stream to lake, or to a river that will carry it to the sea.As water flows along the ground, it picks up sand, pebbles, even boulders. It uses them to gnaw at the sides and bottom of its channel, gradually loosening more earth.By this process enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be worn completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.(1). Flowing water gradually makes its channel ______.A. narrowerB. deeperC. widerD. both B and C(2). The average height of the United States above sea level ___.A. is being raised each yearB. remains constantC. will reach sea level in 9000 yearsD. is being lowered little by little(3).

Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent ( 代表 ) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.(1). From the passage, it can be inferred that ( ).A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems(2). The writer probably used one short sentence in the first paragraph to ( ).A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers'' attention(3). The main idea of paragraph three is that ( ).A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. Problem solving is part of life(4). According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ( ).A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect from problems(5). The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggest that ( ).A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoid答案：一、单项选择题（60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分）1.

2020年全国英语等级三级试题及答案（卷三）I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come —with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.1.In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.A.teenagers to try to pursue their real selvesB.readers to try to be popular with people aroundC.parents to try to control and guide their childrenD.people to try to understand and respect each other2.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.A.growing away from their parentsB.following the popularity trendC.walking a new way on their ownD.turning to their friends for help3.The phrase “larger cocoon”at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.A.the distractive and variable societyB.the dazzling music worldC.the parental care and loveD.the popularity wave in the society4.What does the author think of advertisements?A.Convincing.B.Instructive.C.Influential.D.Authoritative.5.According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?A.He/She falls behind the time.B.He/She loses good friends.C.He/She faces all kinds of criticism.D.He/She gains valuable popularity.答案及解析1.A主旨大意题。

A．should not bee dominant brandsB．have been ignored by many peopleC．cannot be pared with drugsD．shouldn’t have caused so much worry4．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A．Globalization is Standardization（标准化）B．Globalization:Like it or change itC．Globalization:Don’t Worry,Be HappyD．Globalization Brings EqualityBA.The Solaire serves as a model of green high-rise buildingB.Energy shortage calls for building s of new designC.Green buildings help protect environmentD.New definitions about green buildingsE.The way the green buildings worksF.Green buildings will become popular in the future1.______()These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories,and offices.Green buildingmeans“reducing the impact of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington,D.C.,said.2.______()According to Holowka,buildings account for65percent of total US electricity use.But green buildings can reduce energy and water use.Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subway,so that people can drive their cars less.That could be good for the environment,because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land,so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.3.______()Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action.The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building.According to Dettling,“We’ve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by50percent.”4.______()The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power.“On the face ofthe building we have solar panels which change the sun’s energy into electricity,”Dettling explained.The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room.In addition,the building has lots of windows,allowing people to use the sun for light during the day.The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.5._____()Not everyone is eager to move into a green building,however.Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources.Anyhow,Holowka said,“It’s going to be big.”五、书面表达：(满分30分)假如你是小明,即将去国外学习,请你写封信给你的朋友Tom告诉他你已经被伦敦大学录取,内容重点如下:1.告诉这个消息2.请他给你一些建议并给予指导注意:字数应为200字符左右参考答案：一、选择题：1-5:ABBDA6-10:AABCB11-15:ACABC16-20:ACAAC二、单词拼写1、答案:wine2、答案:succeed3、答案:quality4、答案:extra5、答案:progress三、翻译1.She must have cried,which we can see from her eyes.2.In spite of his old age,he never gives up studying English.3.The first problem to be discussed at the meeting tomorrow is what to do next.4.Not knowing how to translate the sentence,she turned to the teacher for help.5.Not until yesterday were they told that all the rooms in the hotel had been fully booked四、阅读理解：阅读理解ABADC阅读理解B参考答案1-5：DCAEF。

Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late1700’s has also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent(经常的)bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health.Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided(避免),and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!By the1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health.They believed that it was good for people to be clean.Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently.During the Victorian Age of the late19th century,taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular.

Bring along your camera and enjoy the wonderful views along this well-surfaced forest path.Date and Time: Sunday, 2nd October, at 11:45Start Point: Kilbrannish Forest Recreation AreaWalk Duration: 1.5 hours1．Which walk takes the shortest time?A．The Natural World. B．Introduction to Hillwalking. C．Moonlight Under the Stars. D．Photographic Walk in Kilbrannish Forest.2．What are participants in Walk 3 required to do?A．Wear proper clothes. B．Join a walking club.C．Get special permits. D．Bring a survival guide.3．What do the four walks have in common?A．They involve difficult climbing. B．They are for experienced walkers. C．They share the same start point. D．They are scheduled for the weekend.BDo you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old schooland read something printed.Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,”says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.4．Why did BART start the kiosk program?A．To promote the local culture. B．To discourage phone use.C．To meet passengers’ needs. D．To reduce its running costs.5．How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A．By popularity. B．By length.C．By theme. D．By language.6．What has Trost been doing recently?A．Organizing a story contest. B．Doing a survey of customers. C．Choosing a print publisher. D．Conducting interviews with artists.7．What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A．It will close down. B．Its profits will decline.C．It will expand nationwide. D．Its ridership will increase.CWe all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.8．What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?A．It guarantees the variety of food. B．It requires day-to-day care.C．It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D．It relies on farmer’s markets. 9．What information does the convenient app offer?A．Real-time weather changes. B．Current condition of the plants. C．Chemical pollutants in the soil. D．Availability of pre-seeded pods. 10．What can be concluded about BMF employees?A．They have a great passion for sports.B．They are devoted to community service.C．They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D．They have a strong environmental awareness.11．What does the text mainly talk about?A．BMF’s major strengths. B．BMF’s general management. C．BMF’s global influence. D．BMF’s technical standards.DGiven the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AIand its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.12．What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．If read by someone poorly educated. B．If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C．If written by someone less competent. D．If translated by someone unacademic.13．What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A．It is packed with complex codes. B．It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C．It provides step-by-step instructions. D．It is intended for AI professionals.14．What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A．Observe existing regulations on it.B．Reconsider expert opinions about it.C．Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D．Learn from prior experience to slow it down.15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To recommend a book on AI. B．To give a brief account of AI history. C．To clarify the definition of AI. D．To honor an outstanding AI expert.第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniquesthat learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them becomebetter learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learningprocess and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, andevaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).A. funB.interestingC.efficientD.exciting(2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.A. thinkingB.evaluationC.performanceD. activities(3). Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( )A. booksB.notesC.tutorsD.themselves(4). Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them ( )A.simplerB.more familiarC.more concreteD. more applicable(5). Which of the following statements is true? ( )A. Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.B.Learning strategies are completely unobservable.C.Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.D.Teache rs are the sole judges of students’ progress.2. Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does goodto both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites （寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they havetiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form the corals and giving inreturn oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.(1). Some birds like to sit ona sheep because ( ).A. they can eat its parasitesB. they depend on the sheep for existenceC. they enjoy traveling with the sheepD. they find the position most comfortable(2). The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ( ).A. birds and parasitesB. birds and sheepC. parasites and sheepD. sheep, birds and parasites(3). What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ( )A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.C. Some plants depend on each other for fooD. Some animals live better together.(4). What does this article talk about? ( )A. Two kinds of animals for a partnership.B. Most animals only have connection with animals.C. The connection between the living things.D. Corals have some connection with plants.3. Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary.A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.(1). According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ( )A. It can help you keep good health.B.It can help you maintain body weight.C. It can help you get rid of illness.D.It can help you find a good job.(2). When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ( )A. To do exercise.B. To try some “light” beer.C. To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread.D. To try both A and C.(3). The following statements are true except ( ).A. If people try some special food such as “light” beer when they want to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight.B. Both the diet and exercise play an important role in losing weight.C. Few American people who were trying to reduce weight would do exercise with their diet.D. If people walk one mile daily, and keep doing so for one year with diet, he would lost tenpounds.(4). The word “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ( ).A. decreaseB. loseC. lessenD. cut down(5). This passage is mainly about ( ).A. the meaning of exerciseB. the way to reduce weightC. the relation between lose weight and exerciseD. the importance of losing weight4. Bill Gates, the head of the world’s biggest computer softwarecompany, the Microsoft Corporation, has a mission: “to put a computer on every office desk and in every home”. Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. This deep personal interest, together with his technical skills and his business marketing skills helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.The central vision of Bill Gates is the “information highway”. This is a network for computers that will link every home, office and shop in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them. But is this communication by computer along the “information highway” really a good thing? Won’t we be sitting at home, only “socializing” with our computer, paying big compani es money so that we can receive information that some large communication corporation somewhere had decided is “acceptable” for us to read? No, says Bill Gates, he thinks that the phrase “information highway” is aterrible phrase. It makes people think that we are all going down the same road, he says. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between the rich and the poor will narrow.In the meantime, however, the gap between the rich and the poor is still there. To be added to this now is the gap between those with computers and those without.(1). Ever since he was a college student, Bill Gates has ________.A. become very interested in the computerB. set up a goal to popularize the computerC. discovered great potentials in computer businessD. dreamed of having a giant computer company(2). Bill Gates’ success depends on the following except__________A. his vision and his travel over the globeB. his technical skills and business marketing skillsC. his deep personal interest in developing computer scienceD. his strong desire to make big money(3). The word “vision” ( para.3) probably means________.A. SightB. ideaC. effortD. daydream(4). The “information highway” will mainly be used _______A. in human communicationB. to help link every home, office and shopC. in business, shopping and educationD. to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor(5). The best title for this passage is probably _________A. Bill Gates, his Vision and MissionB. Computer and InformationC. Advantages of the Computer NetworkD.

ASeptember is the month for fashion, with four international cities hosting Fashion Week. All eyes will turn to New York City, London, Milan and Paris this month to see which city puts on the best show.New YorkNew York Fashion Week, or NYFW, kicks off on September 5th and runs for approximately eight days. NYFW is considered the most commercial and casual of the four. It is also the only event to allow some fashion school students to participate, bringing a fresh look to the runway. LondonLondon Fashion Week （LFW）comes on the heels of NYFW, starting on September 13th and running through September 17th. Once considered a minor player among the Big Four, LFW can now command a list of big names as well as promising new designers. London fashion houses have a reputation for being very experimental and open to new ideas.MilanFashion Week moves to Milan on September 17th. This beautiful Italian city is home to some of the biggest fashion houses and designers in the fashion world, including Armani and Prada. Milan's fashion houses are known for offering glamorous （有魅力的）,yet practical, options. ParisThe chaotic month of fashion makes its way to France as Paris Fashion Week begins onSeptember 23rd. Saving the best for last, Paris never fails to offer some of the most exciting shows of the season. World-famous labels like Chanel and Dior try to outdo one another with their latest designs. The word that best describes Paris Fashion Week is "elegant".21. Which city is likely to attract the new designersA. New YorkB. LondonC. MilanD. Paris22. When does Milan Fashion Week probably endA.

Each offers practical options.D. Each is open to school students.BFire Capt. Kevin Lloyd arrived at the scene of a car accident in West Point, Utah, north of Salt Lake City. A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish, and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.The girl's mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping herdaughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters' nails, and took some photos.The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on Facebook, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job.After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to：the layers of polish on their nails. They bought a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it.24.Why was the 2-year-old girl frightenedA. She was caught in an accident.B. Her mother was badly injured.C. Her nails were hurt by the bottles.D. She was afraid of seeing firefighters.25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word "chuckled” in Paragraph 4A. Sighed.B. Shouted.C. Laughed.D. Hugged.26. Which of the following can best describe the two firefightersA. Knowledgeable.B. Comforting.C. Humorous.D. Courageous.27. What is the purpose of the textA.To ask us to learn to calm down in time of danger.B.To speak highly of the warm-hearted firefighters.C. To introduce the little girl who likes polishing nails.D.To praise the two firefighters who learn to decorate nails.CIn spring, chickens start laying eggs again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others upgrade the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs atevery stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror that I kind of like, the horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, dating back to 300 B.C., was later absorbed into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children.A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.28. What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in RussiaA. They are shaped like jewel cases.B. They are heavily painted in red.C. They are favored as a form of art.D. They are valued by the rich.29. Why have contemporary artists continued the tradition of egg paintingA. Because eggs serve as a symbol of the coming of spring.B. Because eggs provide a source of protein in winter’s end.C. Because eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.D. Because eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.30. Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 5A. Delicateness.B. Technique.C. Fear.D. Anxiety.31. What is the main idea of the textA. Egg painting art preserves traditional and popular symbols.B. Different cultures have different ways of honoring the egg.C. Ukrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists.D. Egg painting art continues and develops in pace with time.DImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedals (踏板). Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it ” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be anenormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S. involve human error. Older drivers and visually-or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displaced by the new technology.New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.32.
