2020西城一模It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station; she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son. She’d just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route many times before. She practically 11 on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then—wham! Out of nowhere a car T-boned Esposito’s minivan, 12 her to move backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She 13 in the minivan, bruised ( 撞伤) but mostly just knocked out by the 14 and the airbags.As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for 15 . He’d just closed his book and was getting under the covers when he heard the sound of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window. A volunteer 16 and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never 17 to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still dressed in his pajamas (睡衣), ran out the door. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he told Newsday. “We’re always on 18 .”The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had 19_ Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and 20Esposito’s minivan positioned on the railroad tracks. And then he heard a terrible sound: the bells signaling an oncoming 21.“The gates were starting to come down,” he told Newsday. “I see the headlight of the train.” DiPinto ran quickly to Esposito’s minivan and knocked on the driver’s side window. She 22 looked at him, her eyes unfocused. “I don’t know where I am,” she said. She seemed unhurt. “Honey, you’re on the railroad 23 ,” DiPinto shouted. “We have to get you off right now!” He pulled hard on the 24 , but the door was crashed in and 25 . The heavy diesel train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was moving fast toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the 26 . “Please, don’t let her be 27 ,” he thought. He pushed aside the deflating ( 瘪了的) airbags, grabbed Esposito’s arms, and 28 her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and quickly get her to 29 behind a signal box a few feet away. Within six seconds, he estimated, the train crashed into the minivan. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.But this one had a twist. “Last night,” South Country Ambulance chief Greg Miglino toldCBS New York, “the 30___ arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck.11.

We were in an economic crisis and she'd recently been 11 off. She said a polite “no".That didn't 12 me. I drew a keyboard onto a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would 13___notes on an online keyboard and "play" them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without 14 a real piano. As my mum found I was 15 about it, she bought me 10 lessons with borrowed money.I still remember the first one. I was 16 by how organic the sound of the piano was, as I had become familiar with the 17 electronic sound. The teacher was trying to explain where middle C was, but I could 18 play all the major and minor scales.I 19 my grade one after eight lessons and got distinction. By the time I started secondary school, we couldn't20 lessons again, so I returned to my paper keyboard. I passed grade three, then grade five, practising only on my piece of paper.For the grades above that, there’ s an 21 that you add a certain sensitivity into your playing. The music teacher at my school said I could practise on the school's grand piano. I would wake up at 5:30 am to get there in time and play until lessons started. I'd 22 lunch and then practise after school until the caretaker kicked me out. At home, I'd have dinner, do three hours of revision, and then 23 practice until 1:00 am.My school didn't offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. The audition （试镜）was extremely24 , and I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement, I was offered a25 .I had been told I had started playing too 26 to reach conservatoire （音乐学院）level, but when I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize. That was the point when I realized I wasn't behind everyone else. I am now at the Guildhall School in London, where I was offered a scholarship. I feel 27 : ifs been 10 years since I drew my paper piano and I'm at one of the world's 28 conservatoires.The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano~what we call mental practice.

He told me he was eager to join in our track team and believed he could make an important___12___.

So he did his best in trying discus(铁饼), shot pu t…, only to find out these events were not ___14___ for him at all. So Bobby intended to try another more difficult event: two-mile race.

Every teammate ___25___him very much and felt lucky to have him in the team.Bobby had been right when he told me he felt he could make a significant contribution. He had joined a good team and made it into a great ___26___.Since then, I've seen many top athletes ___27___the track when they knew they weren't going to win a race. Bobby, on the contrary, never once ___28___ leaving that two-mile race. Once he___29___, quitting was not an option.

2020西城一模Fashion and IdentityFor hundreds of years people have put some message in the type of clothing they wore. Long ago people started wanting to stand out from the “crowd” and be different from other people by means of changing their clothing. Some examples of these “standing out” became very popular and were followed by more people. 46 Nowadays, fashion has become a necessary part of one’s self-realization and clothing is basically a covering designed to be worn on a person’s body. This covering is a “necessity”, which brings a lot of variety into the lives of people and makes their image more complete.The type of clothing completely depends on the person wearing it and becomes a reflection of personal identity. Lately, a lot is being heard about its meaning in the life of every single person on the planet. The choice of clothing is as important as identification through the color of hair, skin and gender. As every piece of clothing carries a strong message about its owner, every owner “nests” a certain value in it depending on his mindset or today’s mood. Therefore, the clothing of a person is a means of communication with the outside world. 47Clothes have a significant impact on the understanding of the people nearby as well as the person wearing them. For instance, a suit can make a person feel more confident and organized, which would eventually change even the gestures of the person. 48 Sometimes, fashion may play a vital role in a person’s life, especially when the person is applying for the job he wants. Fashion also creates a message that is required by a situation the person finds himself in. This can be simply proved by analyzing one’s reaction on people wearing different types of clothing. 49___ Thus, even the smallest companies make wearing a suit one of the requirements for their employees.50 Fashion, with all its symbolism and features, form an outstanding base for personal and cultural identification. It is a part of the self-realization that is required for finding a place in life and has become a tool for achieving harmony with the inner world. The more diverse the society around us, the more fashion-trend will appear and surprise us.A.Fashion helps us realize our dreams.B.This was the moment when fashion appeared.C.Fashion and identity are inseparable companions.D.Clothing was designed to serve people in their daily life.E.The preference is always given to people dressed in “business style”.F.It is the way of telling people about the “state” and the “status” of its owner.G.Wearing jeans after a suit may change the conduct of a person to a very casual one2020海淀一模Is there a link between social media and depression? Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? Ifs complicated.1In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.46 Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64-point higher depression score.A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes f o r people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. 47There's one important thing to remember about survey research because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. 48 For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.49 If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.Ifs certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad f o r your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. 50 Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch f o r coping with other stressors and mental health problems.A.It's the same with social media.B.Social media can be a double-edged sword.C.People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.D.They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.E.They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.F.The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying sociallyconnected.G.For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn'tmean social media use causes depression.2020朝阳一模What Your Nose KnowsY our sense of smell enriches your experience of the world around you. Different scents can change your mood or transport you back to a distant memory. Y our ability to smell also plays a key role in your health. 46The things we smell are actually the tiny molecules(分子) released by substances all around us. When we breathe in these molecules, they stimulate specialized sensory cells high inside the nose.47 But a given molecule can stimulate a combination of these receptors, creating a unique representation in the brain. W e perceive that representation as a smell.248 A stuffy(不通气的) nose or a harmless growth in the nose can block air and thus scents from reaching the sensory cells. Certain medications, like some blood pressure pills, can change smell, but these effects are usually temporary. Y our smell should come back once you’ve recovered or stopped the medication. But some things can cause a long-lasting loss of smell. A head injury or virus, for example, can sometimes damage the nerves related to smell. 49 According to Dr. Davangere Devanand, an expert on neurodegenerative(神经变性的) diseases and smell loss, the main reason appears to be that the functioning of the brain regions involved in smell and memory becomes damaged as we grow older.But problems with your ability to smell may be more than normal aging. They can sometimes be an early sign of serious health conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. Devanand’s group is studying the relationships between smell dysfunction and certain disease.Researchers are also looking for ways to avoid smell loss. Some studies suggest that smell training may help you improve your ability to distinguish and identify scents. 50 But the question remains as to whether and how this might work.A. Many things can cause smell loss.B. People may have lost their ability to smell before they notice it.C. Each of these sensory cells has only one type of scent receptor.D. It may improve your brain’s ability to interpret low levels of scents.E. As people get older, many of them couldn’t identify certain kind of smell.F. If your ability to smell declines, it can affect your physical well-being and everyday safety.G. And with age, there is a decline in the ability to smell to some extent in the nose, but much more in the brain itself.2020丰台一模For serious birders who regularly observe birds in the wild, ignoring climate change isn’t possible. We have been seeing and documenting the effects of a warming climate since at least the 1950s.46 Glossy black great-tailed grackles (美洲黑羽椋鸟), for example, previously found primarily in the tropics (热带), first reached southeastern California in 1964. They are now found throughout most of the state.New research from the National Audubon Society highlights the dangers of the trend. For its new report, “Survival by Degrees,” Audubon scientists analyzed the current geographic ranges of 604 North American bird species, and modeled how those ranges would change at different levels of warming. At a global temperature rise of three degrees Celsius, they found that 389 of those species—or nearly two-thirds of those studied—would become endangered, losing much of their current habitat. 473Why does this matter to anyone who’s not a bird watcher? For one thing, birds play a crucial role in the ecology, keeping down insect populations and serving as food themselves for larger predators (食肉动物). 48 Their shifting ranges warn of increasing droughts, floods, fires, rising seas and unlivable cities.49 Audubon scientists modeled what would happen at lesser levels of warming, and the results are striking. Limiting warming to 1.5 degrees would reduce the danger for three-quarters of those threatened birds. Audubon’s report “Survival by Degrees” is not a depressing forecast but rather a call to action. It stresses the need for action at every level, by individuals and governments alike, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.As a lifelong birder, I’m proud of the role my tribe has played in documenting the effects of climate change. When local conditions change, particular types of frogs or wildflowers may decrease and disappear, few will notice. 50 I hope people can pay close attention to the urgent message in this new report and work together for solutions. Birds tell us we don’t have time to wait.A. We still have time to do something about it, however.B. But they also serve as a visible symbol of broader environmental shifts.C. This would greatly benefit humans, reducing the potential suffering for people.D. But when a bird species disappears, we dedicated birders document the change.E. In recent decades, that has meant a consistent northward shift in where species are found.F. The changes will make birding exciting, with birders finding new species in unexpected places.G. Even if some could shift their range northward, they would soon start to run out of room on the map.2020延庆一模Where do you think the world’s happiest people live? Somewhere hot with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the university of Leicester. Who are the happiest people on Earth? 46 Surprised? Well you’ll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some of the highest taxes in the world. So what is the secret of their success?Let’s start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capital(人均) than other country. .47 Because a shop assistant’s final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank, for example, Danes don’t choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want to do. There’s a philosophy in Denmark known as4“Jante-lov”, which translates as “you’re no better than anybody else.” 48 But workers in other countries are not used to looking at life in this way.Money doesn’t seem as important in Denmark. It has been called a “post consumerist” society.49 What is more important is the sense of society and it’s no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing. 92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid for by the government.50 They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government. You can see sighs of this all over the country. You’ll find vegetable stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in a basket. perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark. The Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes—simple, economical, non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.A. In a list ranking countries by the happiness of their citizens, it put tropical Fiji 50 places below freezing Iceland.B. The street sweeper can hold his head up high as he proudly does his job.C. Danish people aren’t as suspicious as many other nations.D. Most Danes are used to seeing between 50-70% of their salary going to the government!E. Those 5.5 million people who call Denmark their home.F. People have nice things in their houses, but they’re not mad about shopping and spending.G. And there’s another advantage to those high taxes.2020门头沟一模How to Automate New Habits So That You’ll Keep to ThemAnyone who’s tried to add something new to their routine knows one thing: Building new habits isn’t easy. 46The good news: There’s a solution, and it’s called automation. 47 For example: If you want to save more but it seems difficult to achieve, try transferring five dollars to your savings account each time you buy lunch during the week. If you want to do more sports but aren’t motivated to go to the gym every day, try doing 5 pushups after each time you use the restroom.That sounds easy. 48 “Automation works well in developing new behavior patterns because it involves the use of positive reinforcement(强化), which is one of the most powerful tools for behavior change,” Kahina Louis, a psychologist, tells Shine.“As you’re engaging in gradual steps toward your goals, you may quickly start to experience feelings of accomplishment and pride that you’re making the changes you wanted to make,” she says. “Those positive feelings are forms of reinforcement, and you are more likely to continue doing things that reinforce you.”Along with its positive reinforcement, automation emphasizes the impact of small changes in5making a big difference. Though we all love the major successes, the small changes along the way are what get us there in the first step. 49 “As you show yourself each small change you’ve made, you’re giving yourself the message that you are capable of accomplishment,” Louis says. “That feeling and self-belief are extremely helpful to have as you continue toward creating new behavior change.”50 Take a look at what things you keep doing throughout the day or course of the week to decide when to add new automation. Louis says, “For example: If you know that you’re always extremely tired after work, then you might consider picking an auto habit that occurs in your morning routine rather than in the evening.”Louis also explains that although you should pick a behavior that occurs frequently enough to maximize the opportunities to build towards your goal, try not to choose an already existing behavior that occurs too often—like checking your phone or drinking of water. “You might not even realize you’re doing it, and may then miss a lot of chances to perform the new habit,” she says.A. Find your auto habits.B. It takes time and insistence.C. But it turns out to be efficient while trying.D. Consider auto habits that occur at times or places.E. It’s the small steps that fuel your motivation and self-belief.F. It is when you add what you’d like to be your new habit onto an existing habit.G. Building a new habit requires strong mind to help the process go along smoothly.2020密云一模Mystery of EvolutionFollowing the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP), also named COVID-19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing-the NCP's symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu. but it's potentially more dangerous.Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola (埃博拉) . But what are viruses? How can they cause so much trouble? Viruses are non-living organisms (有机体) approximately one-millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can't reproduce on their own. 46Viruses can infect every living thing-from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections cause no noticeable reaction. Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can eater our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. 47 For example, HIV, which causes AIDS. attacks the T-cells of the immune system.But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? 48 "Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult. " Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told6Scientific American, "because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they've invaded."49 First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者) . Second. viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped" from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. 50 Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.A. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect.B. Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists.C. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.D. There's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.E. However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses.F. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.G. Bat is a flying mammal with a long lifespan, whose temperature is high, similar to a fever.2020平谷一模The World Water Day has been celebrated annually on 22 March since1992. Each year has a different theme, looking at things like the role of clean water in the world of work, ways to stop wasting water, finding ways to supply water to underprivileged groups and so on.46 But it is also vital for sanitation(卫生). It is estimated that more than 700 children under the age of seven die every day from illnesses linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation. The right to water and sanitation was recognized as a human right. 47 These include rural communities, people who have been displaced due to war and local conflicts and areas where climate change is making water more and more scarcer.Apart from the obvious health issues, a lack of accessible clean water means that people —often women and children — spend hours every day walking to and from distant water supplies.This means they don’ t have time to dedicate to work, studies and other domestic duties.48 And people who are not able to walk to get their own water are particularly vulnerable.There are many charities working on creating sustainable supplies of clean water for different communities around the world. 49 But the fundamental problem of increasing demand for a limited resource can only be addressed by more efficient use of water, especially in industry and agriculture. Waste-water recycling, capturing rainwater, more efficient irrigation techniques and reforestation are all examples of how water can be used more efficiently.50 We should support charities, raise awareness, take part in the World Water Day events that are happening all around the world and, of course, be careful with how we use water in our own lives. Visit the UN World Water Day website to find out about an event near us. Follow world water day on social media and help spread the word about this incredibly important issue.A. Clean drinking water is fundamental.B. As individuals, what can we do to help the issue?C. The search for water becomes their main occupation.D. This important work needs to continue and to expand.E. Every living cell in the body needs water to keep functioning.F. In normal conditions, the human body can only survive three or four days without water.G. However, there are still at least 2. 1 billion people around the world living without safe water.2020石景山一模How Smartphone Adds to Your WeightUsing a smartphone at mealtimes can lead to an expanding waistline. Researchers have found that men and women consumed 15% more calories when looking at their phones while eating. 467The groundbreaking study suggests that staring at a phone screen may distract (分心) dinners from how much food and what they are actually eating.“It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the amount of food ingested,” said researchers who filmed 62 volunteers eating alone.The volunteers, aged 18 to 28, were divided in to three groups and invited to help themselves to a choice of food—ranging from healthy options to soft drinks and chocolate—until they were satisfied.47 On average, the volunteers ate 535 calories without the distraction of a smartphone but 591 when using a mobile. Those in the sample who were classed as overweight ate 616 calories while using their phones. When in possession of their mobiles, the volunteers also consumed 10 percent more fatty foods. 48“Smartphone use during a meal increased calorie and fat intake,” said Márcio Gilberto Zangeronimoa, a lead author of the study—carried out at the Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. He added: “Tablets and smartphones have become the main ‘distracters’ during meals, even early in childhood. 49A distracter prevents the brain correctly understanding the amount of food a ccepted.”50 A more detailed analysis can be found in the journal.A. They also eat more fatty food.B. They also ate more when reading a magazine.C. Distracted or hurried eating can add to weight gain.D. The study is published in Physiology And Behavior.E. It is important to pay attention to how this may impact food intakes.F. Hunger isn’t the only thing that influences how much we eat during the day.G. They were recorded eating with no distractions, using a smartphone or reading a magazine.2020高三适应性考试An interview is a discussion with someone in which you try to get information from them. 46 There are three basic sub-types of interview: structured interviews, unstructured interviews and semi-structured interviews. 47 Incidentally, “respondent” and “informant” are words that are sometimes used instead of “interviewee”.A great deal is provided by this personal contact: you are another human being, and interviewees will respond to you, in bodily presence, in an entirely different way from the way that they would have reacted to questionnaires that came through their letterboxes or to emails. 48 Most people want to help and give their opinions, and they will usually be energized to help by your physical presence.If you take the trouble to schedule a visit, you can be more or less guaranteed of a response. Most importantly, though, you will be able to relate to interviewees while you are talking to them.49 Y ou will be able to watch their behaviour which will give you important clues about how they feel about a topic. Because of the primacy of the personal contact, your appearance and tone are important—how do you want to be seen? As “one of us”? As a person in authority? As an observer? …Or what?50 However you decide to present yourself, it is good practice of course to try to put the interviewee at ease before the interview begins—to talk about the weather, about your journey, about anything that will break the ice.8A.This is a ready-made support for you.B.Its nature varies with the nature of the interviews.C.You will be able to hear and understand what they are saying.D.Your decision should influence the way that you look, sound and behave.E.The information may be facts or opinions or attitudes or any combination of these.F.Each involves the interviewer in fact-to-face contact or telephone contact with another person.G.You will be using these clues to make informed guesses about what the interviewees might reallymean.9西城一模: 46.B 47．F 48．G 49．E 50．C海淀一模：46.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Most people admit extreme nervousness at even the thought of giving a speech. 35 Through speaking, we gain the power to share what we are thinking with others.Actually, not only do most beginning speakers suffer anxiety at the thought of speaking in public, but even powerful speakers like Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt were nervous before speaking. 36 Some people tremble, sweat, and experience shortness of breath and increased heartbeat. As they go through their speech, they may be so preoccupied with themselves that they lose contact with the audience, jump back and forth from point to point, and on occasion forget what they have planned to say. 37 And they still go on to deliver a strong speech. The secret is not to get rid of all of your feelings but to learn to channel and control your nervousness.Very few people are so bothered by anxiety that they are unable to proceed with the speech. 38 Why? Because you must be a little more aroused than usual to do your best. A bit of nervousness gets the adrenaline （‘肾上腺素）flowing---and that brings you to speaking readiness.Many speakers worry that others will notice how nervous they are——and that makes them even more self-conscious and nervous. A young woman reported that she broke out at home before each speech. She was amazed when other students said to her, “You seem so calm when you speak. " 39 Once you realize that your audience does not perceive your nervousness to the degree that you imagine, you will remove one unnecessary source of anxiety.The more experience you get in speaking, the better you become at coping with nervousness. As time goes on, you will come to find that having a group of people listening to you alone is a very satisfying experience.A. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.B. In fact, it would be harmful if you were not nervous.C. Try getting feedback from your listeners after a speech.D. The difference in nervousness among people is a matter of degree.E. Yet you must learn to cope with nervousness because speaking is important.F. Others, however, may get butterflies in their stomachs and feel weak in the knees.G. Perhaps the most important time for coping with nervousness is shortly before the speech.西城区2020-2021学年度第一学期期末统一检测高三英语 2021.1第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Have you ever been labeled a “perfectionist”? Or do you consider yourself to be one? It’s attractive to see perfectionism as a positive quality—it shows that we pay close attention to detail and get things right! And, it is often viewed as a strength that helps people to produce high-quality work. 35 It can damage self-esteem, cause relationship problems, and, in extreme cases, it may even lead to serious health problems. If you think that you have a problem with perfectionism, the following strategies can help you to lessen its negative effects.Set realistic goals. 36 Instead, learn to think about your most important life and career goals. Then, break them down into smaller steps. Not only will this make it easier to reach your objectives, but you’ll also experience the thrill of achieving them.37 If you’re feeling anxious or unhappy about a task, they may be telling you that you’re trying to achieve the impossible. And adjust your targets accordingly! Perfectionists are often likely to start negative self-talk. If you catch yourself doing this, stop! Try using thought awareness to question your negative thoughts and add some positivity!Focus on the bigger picture. Perfectionism can cause “tunnel vision”—when you focus on one small part of something but ignore the rest. You might, for instance, focus on getting a minor part of a presentation right, like the special effects, instead of concentrating on the meaning that you are trying to deliver. Remember to keep your focus on the bigger picture. 38Relax and go with the flow. The pursuit of perfection can make it extremely difficult to relax. And perfectionists prefer to maintain focus and to stick to their carefully laid plans. But relaxation isn’t just necessary for a healthy life. It can also improve your productivity and well-being. And you’ll be better at keeping perfectionism under control if you’re feeling rested, clear-headed and happy. 39 Get outside, be open to new experiences and new people, make use of relaxation techniques, andrecognize when you need to switch off.Most of all, don’t allow perfectionism or fear of failure to stop you from experiencing new things. Be open to new ways of thinking, new people, and new experiences. You might just find that letting go actually boosts your well-being, your relationships, and your performance.A. Listen to your emotions.B. So, take regular breaks at work.C. Seek advice from qualified health professionals.D. Your failings will seem less significant and you’ll reduce the urge to be perf ect.E. However, when perfectionism gets out of control, it can do more harm than good.F. Perfectionists often set objectives so high that there’s little hope of ever achieving them.G. If you’re afraid to make mistakes, it’s difficult to generate new i deas and seize opportunities.海淀区2020-2021学年度第一学期期末统一检测高三英语 2021.1第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020西城一模AWhat it doesThe self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic ( 光催化) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space. How it worksThe working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively decompose bacteria ( 细菌) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source—inside a transparent glass door handle—is required to activate the door’s handle coatingon the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.Design processWe made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.How it is differentOur innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.Future plansIn the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher. AwardsIn addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.31.How does the self-cleaning door handle function?A.It controls the door movement automatically.B.It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.C.Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.D.The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.pared with the first version of the product, the present one is .A. safer and cheaperB. cleaner and easierC. less heavy and more effectiveD. more attractive and expensive33.What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?A.It has been widely used in public areas.B.It has received recognition for its innovation.C.It is quite competitive among similar products.D.It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.BThis little South American Magellanic penguin swims5,000 miles, to a beach in Brazil, every year in order to bereunited with the man who saved its life. It sounds likesomething out of a fairy tale, but it’s true!71-year-old retired brick worker Joao, who lives in anisland village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, found the small Magellanic penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in 2011. The penguin was covered in oil and running out of time fast. Joao rescued the penguin, naming it Din, cleaned the oil off its feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to rebuild its strength. After a week of recovery, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the wild. However, Din had already formed a family bond with his rescuer and wouldn’t leave.“He stayed with me for 11 months and then, just after he changed his coat with new feathers, he disappeared,” Joao recalls. “I love the penguin like it’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,” Joao told Globo TV. “No one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks (啄) them if they do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, and allows me to feed him.”Professor Krajewski, a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV, told The Independent: “I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.”However, environmentalists warn that, while hundreds of the Magellanic species are known to naturally migrate (迁徙) thousands of miles north in search of food, there has been a worrying rise in the phenomenon of oceanic creatures washing up on Brazil’s beaches. Professor David Zee from Rio de Janeiro’s State University, said the increase is due in part to global climatic changes. Professor Zee added that sea animals face increased danger from leaked tanker oil.Luckily the ending for Joao and Din has been a happy one, even though it is illegal in Brazil to keep wild animals as pets.Professor Krajewski said: “Professionals who work with animals try to avoid relationships like this occurring so they are able to reintroduce the animal into the wild. But in this single case the authorities allowed Din to stay with Joao because of his kindness.”34.Every year Din swims a long distance to a beach in Brazil to .A. avoid being killedB. meet his rescuerC. escape from ocean currentsD. find much more fish35.When Din was found in 2011, .A. he was dyingB. he was running on the beachC. he was resting on a rockD. he was cleaning oil off his feathers36.What can we learn about Joao from the passage?A.He is not allowed to keep the penguin as a pet by the authorities.B.He overprotects the penguin by keeping him away from others.C.His contact with the penguin is encouraged by professionals.D.His kindness wins the penguin’s trust.37.The story in the passage mainly shows .A.the environmental impact on wildlifeB.the love between humans and wildlifeC.the tendency of wildlife to bond with humansD.the protection of threatened wildlife by mankind31．D32．C33．B34．B35．A36．D37．B2020海淀一模AWhat are some of your favourite memories of the University?In preparation for each falfs 50th reunion, members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.Here's a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.Phyllis Jo Baunach"...I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals fbr student-written-and- directed plays, and the thrill of audiences5 responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.,,Paul Boehm"... many sweet and lasting memories一five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at Hylie Morris's Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 48 years, Ellen Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972, when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five-year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, 'How about oceanography?9 So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi （the famous climatescientist（, which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.,,Farel Vella McClure"...I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact, Iloved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master's degree! I was very fortunate tohave been totally immersed in student life on campus.

Well prepared, I had everything in my favour一fuel for five hours, charts in order, my flight plan on my lap, and a beautiful clear sky.I was wrong.I had heard about Alberta Clippers coming out of Canada. I knew all about them―how an entire air mass was streaming along at over sixty miles an hour.That morning, the Weather Briefer informed me that an Alberta Clipper was going over Chicago about,the time I got to the airport. Chicago was some 400 miles from my destination—not a factor, or so I thought. That was the first hint I missed.The controller called and asked if I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I did the check and everything was in the green. So I told him no. Twenty minutes later the controller called again asking whether I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I checked everything. All was fine. I ignored that hint. I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently. The Alberta Clipper was clipping along.The first blast of turbulence （气流）struck my plane. I got slammed into the roof, and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.After a 2-hour flight of 100 miles, I realized fuel was now an issue. So was landing. I called Flight Following. We figured out the airport I could land.The engine stopped. So did my heart. There is no quiet as quietly stunning as this one at such an altitude. I had run out of fuel in the left tank, and only a little in my right tank. The engine quit f o r a second time. I declared an emergency. I was told that I might get another few minutes of fuel if I gently banked the airplane. Luckily, it worked. Then, the engine quit for the last time. I was a glider now. I made a long lazy spiral descent. Down I went. I stopped at the very end of the runway.I made so many mistakes, missed so many clues, and showed my ignorance so much that I beat myself up over and over again in my mind. I learned textbook descriptions of Alberta Clippers and real-life experience with one are totally different. I will never forget the sound of that silence.I flew home the next day. Older. Wiser. Humbler.

W e have open days when new pupils who are unsure which instrument to choose can come to the centre. They are able to speak to teachers about which instrument might be best for them, and they can also see and hear classes in action.Who is responsible for buying the instruments?Parents usually have to provide instruments. But parents of beginners are advised not to buy an instrument until they are told that a place is available. They should also find out from the teacher the most suitable type of instrument to get.When and where do lessons take place?Lessons are available in many schools, usually during the day. If there is no lesson available for a particular instrument in a particular school, other arrangements can be made at one of our music centres for lessons on Saturday afternoons or weekday evenings.How are pupils taught?Pupils can learn in small groups, in classes or individually, depending on their needs. Small groups of three pupils have lessons that last thirty minutes. Class lessons last forty-five minutesand have at least ten pupils. Individual lessons are offered only to pupils who have some experience.Starting young: when can pupils begin?Children are never too young to become interested in music. W e have special “Musical Youth” classes for children from the age of 3 to 8. These are designed to encourage young children to enjoy music through a variety of activities including singing, musical games, listening and movement. “Musical Y outh” classes take place on Saturday mornings with groups of about 18 children. A parent or other adult must attend each session, and they are encouraged to sit with their children and help them with the activities.31. What can we learn from the passage?A. New pupils can see classes on an open day.B. Pupils can learn special instruments on Sundays.C. Parents must accompany pupils during the learning process.D. Teachers at the centre can provide the right instruments for pupils.32. What is the best choice for children with some experience?A. Lessons for groups of ten.B. Individual lessons.C. Lessons for small groups of three.D. Special “Musical Youth” classes.33. The passage is intended for _.A. teachersB. parentsC. musiciansD. pupilsBNenad Sestan was working in his office one afternoon in 2016, when he heard his lab members whispering with excitement over a microscope. He realized something beyond their expectations was happening.The researchers, at Y ale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, had found electrical activity in brains taken from dead pigs. With that shocking result, Sestan realized what had started as a side project to find ways to better preserve brain tissue for research had changed into a discovery that could redefine our understanding of life and death.The excitement soon turned to concern, when the researchers thought they saw widespread, consistent electrical activity which can indicate consciousness( 意识 ). Sestan brought in a neurologist, who determined the readout was actually an error, but the possibility had frightened them.Sestan kept his cool and immediately did two things: he shut down the experiment and contacted the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as a Y ale bioethicist(生物伦理学家).Over the next few months, experts discussed the potential ethical implications, such as whether the brains could become conscious and whether physicians needed to reconsider the definition of brain death.They submitted the work to Nature. But before the final paper was published, Sestan met sharp criticism from the press. Some even suggested that the researchers were engineering immortality(永生), or maintaining a room full of living brains in jars. Neither he nor his team wanted to discuss the results until the paper was out, but as their inboxes filled with concerns and anger from animal rights activists and futurists, Sestan became depressed. He felt all they could do, however, was to hold off on correcting public misunderstandings until the expert review process had run its course.Since the paper was published in April, 2019, the team has been so busy fielding questions from the media and scientists that it hasn’t performed any further experiments. Sestan wants to focus on his original questions and explore how long the brains can be maintained and whether the technology can preserve other organs.“We want to get outside opinion before we do anything,” Sestan says. “When you explore uncharted territory, you have to be extremely thoughtful.”34. What happened in the lab at Y ale School of Medicine in 2016?A. A better method was found to maintain brain tissue.B. Researchers discovered how to redefine brain death.C. Brains from dead pigs were accidentally discovered alive.D. Researchers arrived at the expected results of the experiment.35. Why did Nenad Sestan stop the experiment?A. He needed assistance with the final paper.B. He spotted a major mistake in the final result.C. He was frightened by the possibility of failure.D. He was concerned about the related moral issues.36. What was people’s reaction towards Nenad Sestan’s experiment?A. The press were strongly opposed to the experiment.B. Some people supported the research on immortality.C. Nobody wanted to discuss the final result in advance.D. The public took a positive attitude towards the experiment.37.How could we best describe Nenad Sestan?A. Responsible and reliable.B.

AQUILA is intended for ________.A. foreign language learnersB. children with learning difficultiesC. parent-child reading loversD. curious kids with good comprehensionBThe spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16, 2018. He walked toward it and found a balloon attached to a piece of paper. “Dayami,” it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Heiss flipped the paper over. It was a numbered list in Spanish. His Spanish isn’t very good, but he could see it was a Christmas list.He was charmed and wondered whether he could find the child. About 20 miles to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. Based on the prevailing wind, he was pretty sure that’s where it came from.Back home, Heiss’s wife who is fluent in Spanish translated the list. Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and art supplies.Heiss then posted about his quest on Facebook, attaching photos, hoping someone might know the girl’s family.A few days passed with no leads; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, he decided to send a private Facebook message to Radio XENY based in Nogales. The next morning, Heiss awoke to a message: The staff had located Dayami, who indeed lived in Nogales and would be willing to arrange a get-together at the radio station.Heiss and his wife rushed to buy everything on Dayami’s list. Then they drove for 45 minutes, crossing the border into Nogales. They finally met the very excited girl. “Her eyes were wide open with wonder. Like, ‘Oh my gosh, this really did work!’ It was a beautiful experience,” Heiss said. “Quite healing for us.”Heiss, 61, has lived in Bisbee, Arizona for more than three decades. Ten years ago, he and his wife lost their only child. They have no grandchildren. Now they split their time between Nogales and Bisbee.“Being around children at Christmastime has been absent in our lives,” Heiss said. “It’s been kind of a gaping hole in our Christmas experience.” He has since reflected on what a miracle it was that he spotted the balloon at all, let alone that he was able to locate Dayami and her family.34. On December 16, Heiss ________.A. planned to go to NogalesB. found a wish list by accidentC. spotted a card attached to a balloonD. read a story about Dayami on Facebook35.

First he lost his dad when he was four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep.“I tried and I tried and I tried to get her awake — I couldn't,” said Jaden.Jaden was understandably heartbroken.But there was another side to his grief. A side he first made public a few weeks ago when he told his aunt, and now guardian, Barbara DiCola, that he was sick and tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. And he had a plan to fix it.“And that was the beginning of it,” said Barbara. “That’s where the adventure began.”Jaden asked his aunt Barbara to buy a bunch of little toys and bring him to downtown Savannah, Georgia near where he lives, so he could give them away.Jaden targeted people who weren’t already smiling and then turned their day around. He’d go out on four different occasions now and he was always successful. Even if sometimes he didn’t get exactly the reaction he was hoping for.It was just so overwhelming to some people that a six-year-old orphan would give away a toy — expecting nothing in return — except a smile.“I’m counting on it to be 33, 000,” said Jaden. When asked if he thought he could make that goal, he answered, “I think I can.”31. Why did Jaden give the toys to other people?A. Because he wanted to fix the toys.B. Because he wanted to see more people.C. Because he wanted to give the toys away.D. Because he wanted to make people happy.32. What can we learn from the passage?A. Jaden lived with his aunt.B.

It is not for the car, but for the cellphone.The device, which is sold on Tesla’s website alongside hats and the company’s existing desktop and portable chargers, is a small, Apple-like device that costs $65. It has an integrated USB-C cable for when you want to plug it directly into your device, and a USB-A port for non-USB-C devices. You can get it in black or white, but it only comes with 6,000mAh of juice and 5W of output charging (The wired charging method gets you 7.5W).For about half the price, you can get Anker’s 10,000mAh Power Core charger, which has 12W of output charging but no wireless charging capabilities. For $50, you can get an RA V Power 10,400mAh wireless charger with 10W of output.Of course, nobody is really buying this for the functions. They’re buying it because it has a Tesla logo on it and it looks really nice, which is totally fair for $65 and the ease of use wireless charging allows. It’s not a bad purchase for a big Tesla fan.34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Wired Charging MethodB. A New Wireless ChargerC. A New Tesla CarD.

2020西城一模Fashion and IdentityFor hundreds of years people have put some message in the type of clothing they wore. Long ago people started wanting to stand out from the “crowd” and be different from other people by means of changing their clothing. Some examples of these “standing out” became very popular and were followed by more people. 46 Nowadays, fashion has become a necessary part of one’s self-realization and clothing is basically a covering designed to be worn on a person’s body. This covering is a “necessity”, which brings a lot of variety into the lives of people and makes their image more complete.By means of 以。

方式covering 覆盖物The type of clothing completely depends on the person wearing it and becomes a reflection of personal identity. Lately, a lot is being heard about its meaning in the life of every single person on the planet. The choice of clothing is as important as identification through the color of hair, skin and gender. As every piece of clothing carries a strong message about its owner, every owner “nests” a certain value in it depending on his mindset or today’s mood. Therefore, the clothing of a person is a means of communication with the outside world. 47Nest 嵌套，拥有For exampleClothes have a significant impact on the understanding of the people nearby as well as the person wearing them. For instance, a suit can make a person feel more confident and organized, which would eventually change even the gestures of the person. 48 Sometimes, fashion may play a vital role in a person’s life, especially when the person is applying for the job he wants. Fashion also creates a message that is required by a situation the person finds himself in. This can be simply proved by analyzing one’s reaction on people wearing different types of clothing. 49 Thus, even the smallest companies make wearing a suit one of the requirements for their employees.50 Fashion, with all its symbolism and features, form an outstanding base for personal and cultural identification. It is a part of the self-realization that is required for finding a place in life and has become a tool for achieving harmony with the inner world. The more diverse the society around us, the more fashion-trend will appear and surprise us.Separate A from B inseparableA.Fashion helps us realize our dreams. 时尚助我们实现梦想B.This was the moment when fashion appeared. 这是时尚出现的时候C.Fashion and identity are inseparable companions. 时尚和身份是不可以分割的伴侣D.Clothing was designed to serve people in their daily life.衣服是用来服务人的E.The preference is always given to people dressed in “business style”.人们喜欢穿商务风格的衣服F.It is the way of telling people about the “state” and the “status” of its owner.通过过穿着得知主人的状态和身份G.Wearing jeans after a suit may change the conduct of a person to a very casual one.穿牛仔改变了人的行为到一种自由形式西城一模: 46.B 47．F 48．G 49．E 50．C2020海淀一模Is there a link between social media and depression? Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? Ifs complicated.In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.46 Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a0.64-point higher depression score.A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes f o r people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. 47There's one important thing to remember about survey research because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. 48 For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.49 If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.Ifs certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad f o r your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. 50 Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch f o r coping with other stressors and mental health problems.A.It's the same with social media.B.Social media can be a double-edged sword.C.People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.D.They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.E.They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.F.The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.G.For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression.答案：46.

Different scents can change your mood or transport you back to a distant memory. Y our ability to smell also plays a key role in your health. 46The things we smell are actually the tiny molecules(分子) released by substances all around us. When we breathe in these molecules, they stimulate specialized sensory cells high inside the nose. 47 But a given molecule can stimulate a combination of these receptors, creating a unique representation in the brain. W e perceive that representation as a smell.48 A stuffy(不通气的) nose or a harmless growth in the nose can block air and thus scents from reaching the sensory cells. Certain medications, like some blood pressure pills, can change smell, but these effects are usually temporary. Y our smell should come back once you’ve recovered or stopped the medication. But some things can causea long-lasting loss of smell. A head injury or virus, for example, can sometimes damage the nerves related to smell.49 According to Dr. Davangere Devanand, an expert on neurodegenerative(神经变性的) diseases and smell loss, the main reason appears to be that the functioning of the brain regions involved in smell and memory becomes damaged as we grow older.But problems with your ability to smell may be more than normal aging. They can sometimes be an early sign of serious health conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. Devanand’s group is studying the relationships between smell dysfunction and certain disease.Researchers are also looking for ways to avoid smell loss. Some studies suggest that smell training may help you improve your ability to distinguish and identify scents. 50 But the question remains as to whether and how this might work.A. Many things can cause smell loss.B. People may have lost their ability to smell before they notice it.C. Each of these sensory cells has only one type of scent receptor.D. It may improve your brain’s ability to interpret low levels of scents.E. As people get older, many of them couldn’t identify certain kind of smell.F. If your ability to smell declines, it can affect your physical well-being and everyday safety.G. And with age, there is a decline in the ability to smell to some extent in the nose, but much more in the brain itself.46．F47．C48．A49．G50．D2020丰台一模For serious birders who regularly observe birds in the wild, ignoring climate change isn’t possible. We have been seeing and documenting the effects of a warming climate since at least the 1950s.46 Glossy black great-tailed grackles (美洲黑羽椋鸟), for example, previously found primarily in the tropics (热带), first reached southeastern California in 1964. They are now found throughout most of the state.New research from the National Audubon Society highlights the dangers of the trend. For its new report, “Survival by Degrees,” Audubon scientists analyzed the current geographic ranges of 604 North American bird species, and modeled how those ranges would change at different levels of warming. At a global temperature rise of three degrees Celsius, they found that 389 of those species—or nearlytwo-thirds of those studied—would become endangered, losing much of their current habitat. 47 Why does this matter to anyone who’s not a bird watcher? For one thing, birds play a crucial role in the ecology, keeping down insect populations and serving as food themselves for larger predators (食肉动物). 48 Their shifting ranges warn of increasing droughts, floods, fires, rising seas and unlivable cities.49 Audubon scientists modeled what would happen at lesser levels of warming, and the results are striking. Limiting warming to 1.5 degrees would reduce the danger for three-quarters of those threatened birds. Audubon’s report “Survival by Degrees” is not a depressing forecast but rather a call to action. It stresses the need for action at every level, by individuals and governments alike, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.As a lifelong birder, I’m proud of the role my tribe has played in documenting the effects of climate change. When local conditions change, particular types of frogs or wildflowers may decrease and disappear, few will notice. 50 I hope people can pay close attention to the urgent message in this new report and work together for solutions.

Somewhere hot with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the university of Leicester. Who are the happiest people on Earth? 46 Surprised? Well you’ll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some of the highest taxes in the world. So what is the secret of their success?Let’s start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capital(人均) than other country. .47 Because a shop assistant’s final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank, for example, Danes don’t choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want to do. There’s a philosophy in Denmark known as “Jante-lov”, which translates as “you’re no better than anybody else.” 48 But workers in other countries are not used to looking at life in this way.Money doesn’t seem as important in Denmark. It has been called a “post consumerist” society.49 What is more important is the sense of society and it’s no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing. 92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid for by the government.50 They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government. You can see sighs of this all over the country. You’ll find vegetable stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in a basket. perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark.

If you want to do more sports but aren’t motivated to go to the gym every day, try doing 5 pushups after each time you use the restroom.That sounds easy. 48 “Automation works well in developing new behavior patterns because it involves the use of positive reinforcement(强化), which is one of the most powerful tools for behavior change,” Kahina Louis, a psychologist, tells Shine.“As you’re engaging in gradual steps toward your goals, you may quickly start to experience feelings of accomplishment and pride that you’re making the changes you wanted to make,” she says. “Those positive feelings are forms of reinforcement, and you are more likely to continue doing things that reinforce you.”Along with its positive reinforcement, automation emphasizes the impact of small changes in making a big difference. Though we all love the major successes, the small changes along the way are what get us there in the first step. 49 “As you show yourself each small change you’ve made, you’re giving yourself the message that you are capable of accomplishment,” Louis says. “That feeling and self-belief are extremely helpful to have as you continue toward creating new behavior change.”50 Take a look at what things you keep doing throughout the day or course of the week to decide when to add new automation. Louis says, “For example: If you know that you’re always extremely tired after work, then you might consider picking an auto habit that occurs in your morning routine rather than in the evening.”Louis also explains that although you should pick a behavior that occurs frequently enough to maximize the opportunities to build towards your goal, try not to choose an already existing behavior that occurs too often—like checking your phone or drinking of water. “You might not even realize you’re doing it, and may then miss a lot of chances to perform the new habit,” she says.A. Find your auto habits.B. It takes time and insistence.C. But it turns out to be efficient while trying.D. Consider auto habits that occur at times or places.E. It’s the small steps that fuel your motivation and self-belief.F. It is when you add what you’d like to be your new habit onto an existing habit.G. Building a new habit requires strong mind to help the process go along smoothly.门头沟一模：46．B 47．F 48．C 49．E 50．A2020密云一模6Mystery of EvolutionFollowing the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP), also named COVID-19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing-the NCP's symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu. but it's potentially more dangerous.Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola (埃博拉) . But what are viruses? How can they cause so much trouble? Viruses are non-living organisms (有机体) approximately one-millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can't reproduce on their own. 46 Viruses can infect every living thing-from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections cause no noticeable reaction. Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can enter our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. 47 For example, HIV, which causes AIDS. attacks the T-cells of the immune system.But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? 48 "Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult. " Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, "because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they've invaded."49 First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者) . Second. viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped" from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. 50 Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.A. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect.B. Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists.C. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.D. There's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.E. However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses.F. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.G. Bat is a flying mammal with a long lifespan, whose temperature is high, similar to a fever.密云一模：46-50 FABEC2020平谷一模The World Water Day has been celebrated annually on 22 March since1992. Each year has a different theme, looking at things like the role of clean water in the world of work, ways to stop wasting water, finding ways to supply water to underprivileged groups and so on.46 But it is also vital for sanitation(卫生). It is estimated that more than 700 children under the age of seven die every day from illnesses linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation. The right to water and sanitation was recognized as a human right. 47 These include rural communities, people who have been displaced due to war and local conflicts and areas where climate change is making water more and more scarcer.Apart from the obvious health issues, a lack of accessible clean water means that people —often women and children — spend hours every day walking to and from distant water supplies.This means they don’ t have time to dedicate to work, studies and other domestic duties.48 And people who are not able to walk to get their own water are particularly vulnerable.There are many charities working on creating sustainable supplies of clean water for different communities around the world. 49 But the fundamental problem of increasing demand for a limited resource can only be addressed by more efficient use of water, especially in industry and agriculture. Waste-water recycling, capturing rainwater, more efficient irrigation techniques and reforestation are all examples of how water can be used more efficiently.50 We should support charities, raise awareness, take part in the World Water Day7events that are happening all around the world and, of course, be careful with how we use water in our own lives. Visit the UN World Water Day website to find out about an event near us. Follow world water day on social media and help spread the word about this incredibly important issue.A. Clean drinking water is fundamental.B. As individuals, what can we do to help the issue?C. The search for water becomes their main occupation.D. This important work needs to continue and to expand.E. Every living cell in the body needs water to keep functioning.F. In normal conditions, the human body can only survive three or four days without water.G. However, there are still at least 2. 1 billion people around the world living without safe water.平谷一模：46. A；47. G；48. C；49. D；50.

Researchers have found that men and women consumed 15% more calories when looking at their phones while eating. 46 The groundbreaking study suggests that staring at a phone screen may distract (分心) dinners from how much food and what they are actually eating.“It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the amount of food ingested,” said researchers who filmed 62 volunteers eating alone.The volunteers, aged 18 to 28, were divided in to three groups and invited to help themselves to a choice of food—ranging from healthy options to soft drinks and chocolate—until they were satisfied.47 On average, the volunteers ate 535 calories without the distraction of a smartphone but 591 when using a mobile.Those in the sample who were classed as overweight ate 616 calories while using their phones. When in possession of their mobiles, the volunteers also consumed 10 percent more fatty foods. 48“Smartphone use during a meal increased calorie and fat intake,” said Márcio Gilberto Zangeronimoa, a lead author of the study—carried out at the Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands.He added: “Tablets and smartphones have become the main ‘distracters’ during meals, even early in childho od. 49A distracter prevents the brain correctly understanding the amount of food a ccepted.”50 A more detailed analysis can be found in the journal.A. They also eat more fatty food.B. They also ate more when reading a magazine.C. Distracted or hurried eating can add to weight gain.D. The study is published in Physiology And Behavior.E.

Most importantly, though, you will be able to relate to interviewees while you are talking to them.49 Y ou will be able to watch their behaviour which will give you important clues about how they feel about a topic. Because of the primacy of the personal contact, your appearance and tone are important—how do you want to be seen? As “one of us”? As a person in authority? As an observer? …Or what?50 However you decide to present yourself, it is good practice of course to try to put the interviewee at ease before the interview begins—to talk about the weather, about your journey, about anything that will break the ice.A.This is a ready-made support for you.B.Its nature varies with the nature of the interviews.C.You will be able to hear and understand what they are saying.D.Your decision should influence the way that you look, sound and behave.E.The information may be facts or opinions or attitudes or any combination of these.F.Each involves the interviewer in fact-to-face contact or telephone contact with another person.G.You will be using these clues to make informed guesses about what the interviewees mightreally mean.高三英语适应性考试：46．E 47．F 48．A 49．C 50．D910西城一模: 46.B 47．F 48．G 49．E 50．C延庆一模：46.

Ever say to yourself：Hey, I wish that I could do more to help the environment? Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it? Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.●Turn off your computer. By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would, driving to and from work in one day.● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.● Recycle. You had to see this coming. But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.● Don't run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.● Rechargeable batteries.

To make more tall buildings in different big cities．B. To help more skiers to ski in high mountains．C. There will be more green power factories in the world．D. More and more people will ski in the power factory．6. Where do the skiers ski in the power factory?A. On man-made snow．B. On man-made ice．C. On plastic grass．D. On real sand．7. The underlined part “it might be all 'downhill' from here" means that________.A. they will soon reach their final goalB. they will soon draw many visitorsC. they will produce more electricityD. they have difficulties reaching the goalCIf you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them findyou. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝). Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing to do is to stay in one place.8.

What’s the meaning of the last paragraph?A. Use branches to make a bed.B. Drop branches to look for water.C. Pick off branches to build another house.D. Leave branches to help you find your way back.DNowadays medical technology seems to be advanced enough for doctors to perform brain transplants (移植). Though this procedure (程序) has only been successfully performed on animals so far, doctors are still hopingto perform this procedure on humans. However, in my opinion, brain transplants should not be performed at all, especially not on humans because of the large number of problems and side effects that could come along with. Hopefully these dangerous side effects will convince doctors not to perform this procedure on humans.Despite many benefits technology brings. I do not think this medical technology of brain transplants will help. We were all born with one brain and through childhood to adults our mind developed into who we are, so if with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would be. No one should steal our identity from us, even if we are seriously injured, and change it to a completely new one. Also for the people who have died with healthy brains, that was their identity and it should not be given to anyone else.Another problem with brain transplants is how doctors can choose what are “healthy” or “normal” brains. An elderly person who has died would have an aged brain that would not be as efficient as younger person’s brain. Then would doctors have to find healthy brains of the same age as the person who needs it? This could also bring up other factors such as intelligence, sex, or physical problems that a person might have had before death. Also another problem might be how long a brain can be kept “alive” after death and how it can be kept “alive” without damage.Overall. my feelings about this operation are that it should not be done on humans until doctors have overcome all the problems and challenges that stand in their way of making human brain transplants successful.12. Why does the author think brain transplants should not be performed at all?A. The cost of the operation is extremely high.B. Doctors are not able to perform brain transplants.C. A good many problems and side effects may arise.D. This procedure has only been successful on animals13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. People shouldn’t give their healthy brains to others.B. Having a brain transplant means losing one’s identity.C. Transplanting brains is changing old brains into new ones.D. Having brain transplants indicates stealing identity from others.14. What is the writers’ attitude towards brain transplants an humans?A. indifferentB. favorableC. disapprovingD. objective15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To encourage brain donation.B. To stress the importance of brain operation.C. Toargue against brain transplants on humans.D. To introduce the technology of brain transplants.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs through her life, including 20 years as a secretary at a hospital until her retirement at age 77.Fein has had a full life. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology because she felt it was “substantial.”Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texasand kept going to class even as her health conditions worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she required oxygen. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.Sheila Rollerson, Fein' scollege advisor, and Carol, the professor told the media that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. She would speak up a lot in class and it just made for a more interesting class.Fein has also inspired Renee Brown, one of Fein's caregivers. At 53, Renee plans to begin nursing school to further her career. “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you can do it, and you will feel so good about it,” Brown remembers what Fein told her.8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Janet Fein's growthB. Janet Fein's aimC. Janet Fein's job experiencesD. Janet Fein's regrets9.

The good health helped Fein get her bachelor's degree.11. What is Janet Fein like according to the passage?A. Hardworking and humorous.B. Determined and generous.C. Positive and patient.D. Inspiring and perseverant.DWe all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall encourage purposeful learning.But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said: “Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once，you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Othersrepeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent:“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthenthe ideas even further.”People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.12. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.B. The fresher the information isthe easier to remember.C. Thinking is more important than remembering in study.D. The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.13. How does the writer prove his opinion?A.By giving examples.B. By listing numbers.C. By borrowing words of experts.D. By providing scientific finding.14. What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book?A. You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.B. Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.C. Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.D. Regular repetition helps to form good habits.15. Which do you think is the best title of the passage?A. How the Brain WorksB. Reading for MoreC. Fighting Against ForgettingD. Repeat to Remember第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

1、（2020北京朝阳一模）What Your Nose KnowsYour sense of smell enriches your experience of the world around you.Different scents can change your mood or transport you back to a distant memory.Your ability to smell also plays a key role in your health.46The things we smell are actually the tiny molecules(分子)released by substances all around us.When webreathe in these molecules,they stimulate specialized sensory cells high inside the nose.47But a given molecule can stimulate a combination of these receptors,creating a unique representation in the brain.We perceive that representation as a smell.48A stuffy(不通气的)nose or a harmless growth in the nose can block air and thus scents from reachingthe sensory cells.Certain medications,like some blood pressure pills,can change smell,but these effects are usually temporary.Your smell should come back once you’ve recovered or stopped the medication.But some things can cause a long-lasting loss of smell.A head injury or virus,for example,can sometimes damage the nerves related to smell.49According to Dr.Davangere Devanand,an expert on neurodegenerative(神经变性的)diseases and smell loss,the main reason appears to be that the functioning of the brain regions involved in smell and memory becomes damaged as we grow older.But problems with your ability to smell may be more than normal aging.They can sometimes be an early sign of serious health conditions,such as Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease.Devanand’s group is studying the relationships between smell dysfunction and certain disease.Researchers are also looking for ways to avoid smell loss.Some studies suggest that smell training may help you improve your ability to distinguish and identify scents.50But the question remains as to whether and how this might work.A.Many things can cause smell loss.B.People may have lost their ability to smell before they notice it.C.Each of these sensory cells has only one type of scent receptor.D.It may improve your brain’s ability to interpret low levels of scents.E.As people get older,many of them couldn’t identify certain kind of smell.F.If your ability to smell declines,it can affect your physical well-being and everyday safety.G.And with age,there is a decline in the ability to smell to some extent in the nose,but much more in the brain itself.2、（2020北京东城一模）As the higher education sector faces mounting pressures to provide value for money,it’s now often assumed that universities will provide its students with much more than just a degree.Most prospectuses（宣传册）introductionpresent institutions as being the“leaders”in academic research,student satisfaction,graduate employability and contact hours.46Visiting a university“in the flesh”on the open day is the only way you can truly get a feel for the place,and ensures you won’t get any unpleasant surprises when you start your course.47Remember that there is no such thing as the best university–only the best fit for you.Before your visit,conduct some online research and decide on a few universities you’d like to visit.Plan your day, booking any relevant sessions,and noting down any talks you would like to attend.Prepare a list of questions about all the aspects of university life.During your visit,you need to make plenty of notes!48You’ll start to forget important things unless you put them down.Note which accommodation you like as well as how much it costs and where it is located.Bear in mind that you might not get your first choice of accommodation,so have a few others in mind as a back-up.49Go along to application sessions and you can get the answers there.You could even show the admissions tutor a draft of your personal statement and ask for some direct feedback.Ask the experts–not only the admissions team and course tutors,but also the current students.While it might be tempting to let mum and dad take over,it’s you who will be going to university,not them,so don’t be afraid to speak up!Write down what you like about the university and compare it to others.Remember to make sure you prioritise your course over the university.50If you don’t enjoy your course,then chances are you will fail to maximise your potential.It’s your choice,so make the best of it!A.Avoid being misled by claims and statistics.B.It doesn’t matter how famous the university is.C.It is important to find out the selection criteria.D.With so many choices,how can you make an informed decision?E.Faced with all the information,what you need to do is to get the most out of it.F.The conversations and experiences you’ve had will mix together after a few visits.G.Determine your own criteria–especially if you’re unsure about which subjects to study.3、（2020北京房山一模）Suppose you were promised$1,440each day that comes to$525,600a year.That could never be reduced or changed in your whole life.Sounds great,doesn’t it?Actually,we all do get1,440a day—but in minutes,not dollars. 46It’s possible to get more money,but you can’t make more time.Many of the management practices that help people make good use of their money can also be applied to your “time currency”.But the question is,are you a good manager of your time?47Find out where your time is going now.Write down everything you do in a day.Include work,study,cooking and meals,cleaning and household maintenance,sleep,family time and mindless activities such as watching TV and getting lost in social media.48Ten minutes of planning can save you an hour of time and helps stretch the time you have,and you’ll see pockets of time you can use for things you want to do.“Once people have a clear picture,they actually do have a lot more time than they realize.”Clark,the founder of the Purposeful Planner says.You can also set e kitchen timers,phone reminders,apps or other timing devices to stay focused and work more productively,suggests Janine Adams,certified professional organizer of Peace of Mind Organizing.49When you have missions to run,instead of making three separate trips on three different days to buy groceries,office supplies or home store products,integrate them—visit all three stores in one trip.It’s more efficient to finish“little one-off”tasks together rather than deal with one at a time throughout the day.At the end of the day,week,month and year,take a look at how well you’ve managed your time.You’ll see where you could do better and where you’ve completed what you set out to do.Booren compares this progress check to reviewing your annual“financial statement”.50Do that over and over and“it forms habit and becomes natural.”Booren says.A.Try these simple steps to take control of your clock and calendar.B.Time is one of the most precious and limited resources for people.C.Grouping small tasks into one job proves to be helpful in daily practice.D.The most important tasks are not always the same as the most pressing tasks.E.Focus on what you’re doing and avoid having to repeat the same process twice.F.Invest a few minutes at the beginning of each day or week to plan and organize.G.Take time each day to reflect on your achievements and set goals for tomorrow.4、（2020北京丰台一模）For serious birders who regularly observe birds in the wild,ignoring climate change isn’t possible.We have been seeing and documenting the effects of a warming climate since at least the1950s.46Glossy black great-tailed grackles(美洲黑羽椋鸟),for example,previously found primarily in the tropics(热带),first reached southeastern California in1964.They are now found throughout most of the state.New research from the National Audubon Society highlights the dangers of the trend.For its new report,“Survival by Degrees,”Audubon scientists analyzed the current geographic ranges of604North American bird species,and modeled how those ranges would change at different levels of warming.At a global temperature rise of three degrees Celsius,they found that389of those species—or nearly two-thirds of those studied—would become endangered,losing much of their current habitat.47Why does this matter to anyone who’s not a bird watcher?For one thing,birds play a crucial role in the ecology, keeping down insect populations and serving as food themselves for larger predators(食肉动物).48Their shifting ranges warn of increasing droughts,floods,fires,rising seas and unlivable cities.49Audubon scientists modeled what would happen at lesser levels of warming,and the results are striking. Limiting warming to1.5degrees would reduce the danger for three-quarters of those threatened birds.Audubon’s report“Survival by Degrees”is not a depressing forecast but rather a call to action.It stresses the need for action at every level,by individuals and governments alike,to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.As a lifelong birder,I’m proud of the role my tribe has played in documenting the effects of climate change. When local conditions change,particular types of frogs or wildflowers may decrease and disappear,few will notice. 50I hope people can pay close attention to the urgent message in this new report and work together for solutions. Birds tell us we don’t have time to wait.A.We still have time to do something about it,however.B.But they also serve as a visible symbol of broader environmental shifts.C.This would greatly benefit humans,reducing the potential suffering for people.D.But when a bird species disappears,we dedicated birders document the change.E.In recent decades,that has meant a consistent northward shift in where species are found.F.The changes will make birding exciting,with birders finding new species in unexpected places.G.Even if some could shift their range northward,they would soon start to run out of room on the map.5、（2020北京适应一模）An interview is a discussion with someone in which you try to get information from them.46There are three basic sub-types of interview:structured interviews,unstructured interviews and semi-structured interviews. 47Incidentally,“respondent”and“informant”are words that are sometimes used instead of“interviewee”.A great deal is provided by this personal contact:you are another human being,and interviewees will respond to you,in bodily presence,in an entirely different way from the way that they would have reacted to questionnaires that came through their letterboxes or to emails.48Most people want to help and give their opinions,and they will usually be energized to help by your physical presence.If you take the trouble to schedule a visit,you can be more or less guaranteed of a response.Most importantly, though,you will be able to relate to interviewees while you are talking to them.49You will be able to watch their behaviour which will give you important clues about how they feel about a topic.Because of the primacy of the personal contact,your appearance and tone are important—how do you want to be seen?As“one of us”?As a person in authority?As an observer?…Or what?50However you decide to present yourself,it is good practice of course to try to put the interviewee at ease before the interview begins—to talk about the weather,about your journey,about anything that will break the ice.A.This is a ready-made support for you.B.Its nature varies with the nature of the interviews.C.You will be able to hear and understand what they are saying.D.Your decision should influence the way that you look,sound and behave.E.The information may be facts or opinions or attitudes or any combination of these.F.Each involves the interviewer in fact-to-face contact or telephone contact with another person.G.You will be using these clues to make informed guesses about what the interviewees might really mean.6、（2020北京海淀一模）Is there a link between social media and depression?Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health?It's complicated.In a recent study,the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.46Specifically,for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers,she likely had a 0.64-point higher depression score.A different study published in2018identified five distinct types of social media users.The finding was that "problematic social media use"was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media.You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem,or your alcohol use may become problematic.47There's one important thing to remember about survey research-just because two things happen together,it's not necessarily true that one causes the other.48For all we know,it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.49If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush,you're on the right track.On the one hand,participants often described social media as avaluable way to cope with stress.On the other hand,cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants.Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.It's certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying,comparing yourself to idealized images,and constantly monitoring your profile,are bad for your mood.It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages.Given the inconclusive research,it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether.50Anyway,you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.A.It's the same with social media.B.Social media can be a double-edged sword.C.People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.D.They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.E.They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.F.The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.G.For example,just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean socialmedia use causes depression.7、（2020北京门头沟一模）How to Automate New Habits So That You’ll Keep to ThemAnyone who’s tried to add something new to their routine knows one thing:Building new habits isn’t easy.46The good news:There’s a solution,and it’s called automation.47For example:If you want to save more but it seems difficult to achieve,try transferring five dollars to your savings account each time you buy lunch during the week.If you want to do more sports but aren’t motivated to go to the gym every day,try doing5pushups after each time you use the restroom.That sounds easy.48“Automation works well in developing new behavior patterns because it involves the use of positive reinforcement(强化),which is one of the most powerful tools for behavior change,”Kahina Louis,a psychologist,tells Shine.“As you’re engaging in gradual steps toward your goals,you may quickly start to experience feelings of accomplishment and pride that you’re making the changes you wanted to make,”she says.“Those positive feelings are forms of reinforcement,and you are more likely to continue doing things that reinforce you.”Along with its positive reinforcement,automation emphasizes the impact of small changes in making a big difference.Though we all love the major successes,the small changes along the way are what get us there in the first step.49“As you show yourself each small change you’ve made,you’re giving yourself the message that you arecapable of accomplishment,”Louis says.“That feeling and self-belief are extremely helpful to have as you continue toward creating new behavior change.”50Take a look at what things you keep doing throughout the day or course of the week to decide when to add new automation.Louis says,“For example:If you know that you’re always extremely tired after work,then you might consider picking an auto habit that occurs in your morning routine rather than in the evening.”Louis also explains that although you should pick a behavior that occurs frequently enough to maximize the opportunities to build towards your goal,try not to choose an already existing behavior that occurs too often—like checking your phone or drinking of water.“You might not even realize you’re doing it,and may then miss a lot of chances to perform the new habit,”she says.A.Find your auto habits.B.It takes time and insistence.C.But it turns out to be efficient while trying.D.Consider auto habits that occur at times or places.E.It’s the small steps that fuel your motivation and self-belief.F.It is when you add what you’d like to be your new habit onto an existing habit.G.Building a new habit requires strong mind to help the process go along smoothly.8、（2020北京密云一模）Mystery of EvolutionFollowing the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP),also named COVID-19by WHO,there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen.Fever,coughing,sore throat,difficulty breathing-the NCP's symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu.but it's potentially more dangerous.Viruses could be deadly,like HIV and Ebola(埃博拉).But what are viruses?How can they cause so muchtrouble?Viruses are non-living organisms(有机体)approximately one-millionth of an inch long.Unlike human cells or bacteria,they can't reproduce on their own.46Viruses can infect every living thing-from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria.For this reason,they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life.Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal.Other viral infections cause no noticeable reaction.Viruses lie around our environment all of the time,waiting for a host cell to come along.They can eater our bodies by the nose,mouth,eyes or breaks in the skin.47For example,HIV,which causes AIDS.attacks the T-cells of the immune system.But the basic question is,where did viruses first come from?48"Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult." Ed Rybicki,a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa,told Scientific American,"because viruses don't leave fossils(化石)and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they'veinvaded."49First,viruses started as independent organisms,then became parasites(寄生者).Second.virusesevolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that"escaped"from larger organisms.Third,viruses co-evolved with their host cells,which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being,these are only theories.The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation.50Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier(含糊不清的)than it now appears.A.Once inside,they try to find a host cell to infect.B.Until now,no clear explanation for their origin exists.C.Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.D.There's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.E.However,there are three main hypotheses(假说)to explain the origin of viruses.F.Instead,they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce,spread and take over.G.Bat is a flying mammal with a long lifespan,whose temperature is high,similar to a fever.9、（2020北京平谷一模）The World Water Day has been celebrated annually on22March since1992.Each year has a different theme, looking at things like the role of clean water in the world of work,ways to stop wasting water,finding ways to supply water to underprivileged groups and so on.46But it is also vital for sanitation(卫生).It is estimated that more than700children under the age ofseven die every day from illnesses linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation.The right to water and sanitation was recognized as a human right.47These include rural communities,people who have been displaced due to war and local conflicts and areas where climate change is making water more and more scarcer.Apart from the obvious health issues,a lack of accessible clean water means that people—often women and children—spend hours every day walking to and from distant water supplies.This means they don’t have time to dedicate to work,studies and other domestic duties.48And people who are not able to walk to get their own water are particularly vulnerable.There are many charities working on creating sustainable supplies of clean water for different communities around the world.49But the fundamental problem of increasing demand for a limited resource can only beaddressed by more efficient use of water,especially in industry and agriculture.Waste-water recycling,capturing rainwater,more efficient irrigation techniques and reforestation are all examples of how water can be used more efficiently.50We should support charities,raise awareness,take part in the World Water Day events that are happening all around the world and,of course,be careful with how we use water in our own lives.Visit the UN World Water Day website to find out about an event near us.Follow world water day on social media and help spread the word about this incredibly important issue.A.Clean drinking water is fundamental.B.As individuals,what can we do to help the issue?C.The search for water becomes their main occupation.D.This important work needs to continue and to expand.E.Every living cell in the body needs water to keep functioning.F.In normal conditions,the human body can only survive three or four days without water.G.However,there are still at least2.1billion people around the world living without safe water.10、（2020北京人大附一模）Why do some people have many friends while others do not?46However,it is not so.Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the“Hawthorne effect”after Hawthorne,Illinois,where the experiment took place.A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company.47.The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone.They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups.They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management.It had increased their motivation(积极性)and so they had worked harder.In other words,if you take an interest in others,they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.48After Martin Luther King,Jr was killed in the1960s,a teacher,Jane Elliott,living in an all–white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups:one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes.Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise.Then she told the class that brown–eyed people were cleverer than blue–eyed ones because of an agent(化学作用)for brown colour found in their blood.Blue–eyed people were stupid,lazy and not to be trusted.Jane Elliott did not need to say any more.The brown–eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class.The blue–eyed students became quiet and withdrawn.Then shediscovered something very interesting.Four poor brown–eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before.49.So if you want to be successful and happy,take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates.Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(同情)with them in their troubles. 50.A.Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B.Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behavior to you.C.The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others.D.The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E.Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance.F.You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G.The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students.11、（2020北京石景山一模）How Smartphone Adds to Your WeightUsing a smartphone at mealtimes can lead to an expanding waistline.Researchers have found that men and women consumed15%more calories when looking at their phones while eating.46The groundbreaking study suggests that staring at a phone screen may distract(分心)dinners from how much food and what they are actually eating.“It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the amount of food ingested,”said researchers who filmed62volunteers eating alone.The volunteers,aged18to28,were divided in to three groups and invited to help themselves to a choice of food—ranging from healthy options to soft drinks and chocolate—until they were satisfied.47On average,the volunteers ate535calories without the distraction of a smartphone but591when using a mobile.Those in the sample who were classed as overweight ate616calories while using their phones.When in possession of their mobiles,the volunteers also consumed10percent more fatty foods.48“Smartphone use during a meal increased calorie and fat intake,”said Márcio Gilberto Zangeronimoa,a lead author of the study—carried out at the Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands.He added:“Tablets and smartphones have become the main‘distracters’during meals,even early in childhood.49A distracter prevents the brain correctly understanding the amount of food accepted.”50A more detailed analysis can be found in the journal.A.They also eat more fatty food.B.They also ate more when reading a magazine.C.Distracted or hurried eating can add to weight gain.D.The study is published in Physiology And Behavior.E.It is important to pay attention to how this may impact food intakes.F.Hunger isn’t the only thing that influences how much we eat during the day.G.They were recorded eating with no distractions,using a smartphone or reading a magazine.12、（2020北京顺义一模）Sustainable Fabrics（织物）of the FutureChoosing what to wear can be a difficult problem,especially if you5re a fashion victim.Trying to keep up with the latest styles involves regular visits to the shopping malls and sometimes paying for expensive designer clothes.But the fashion often changes.46Many stores now offer cheap“fast fashion”一low-price items that copy the styles of more expensive designer brands.Environmentalists are angered by the amount of energy involved in making these clothes and that many of them are made from non-recyclable materials.47Eleanor Lawrie,a BBC reporter,says that people in the UK are the worst in Europe for getting rid of unwanted clothes every year.And she says,"On top of often poor labour conditions for workers,the fashion industry is also responsible for20%of the world's waste water,and10%of carbon emissions（丹F放）.”This is something the fashion industry is becoming more aware of and has tried to find new crops of biomaterials to replace wasteful fabrics like cotton and leather.Examples include Pinatex,a leather-like material made from pineapple leaves.It's been used in collections by Hugo Boss and H&M.48It is being used to create food,packaging and clothes.49The current farming practice requires a massive amount of water and insect killer.Eleanor says,"About 15,000litres of water are required to make one pair of jeans,while95%of its material is cotton."So,buying organic cotton is a better choice.And there is also Tencel,a natural product becoming increasingly popular.It's made by taking cellulose fiber（木质纤维素）from trees and its production is thought to use95%less water than cotton processing.Professor Richard Blackbum from Leeds School of Design tells the BBC that creating sustainable fabrics is only part of the battle一buying reasonably,buying second hand and buying fewer clothes are obviously the more environmentally friendly choices for people.50If one can do that,he is starting to be sustainable.。

A tiger was recently seen on the Siner Russian border（边界），but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same tiger or that it had lost its way from Russia.Wherever it may have come from, cross-border protection of endangered species is a problem. According to Ma Jianzhang, a senior wild animal researcher in China, tigers know no borders, which have been built to stop humans from illegally crossing over. However, these borders also stop the free movement of tigers, thus preventing their breeding（繁殖）and exchange of genes.The Sino-Russian border alsocomes in the way ofprotecting tigers in the region. Data show about 500 to 550 Siberian tigers, or over 90 percent of the species, live in the wild in Russia; 27 live in the wild in China, and 50 inthe border region. Sometimes tigers lose their way across the border and that is hindering（妨碍）efforts to stop illegal hunting and protecting them.Fortunately, both China and Russia have realized this problem and are working toward solving it. As early as 2010, the two countries established a cross-border protection network aimed at strengthening communication on protecting tigers in the northeast. The countries have also held anti-poaching（反偷猎）activities together. In 2019, two national parks from the two countries signed a three-year deal to share research data on tigers, greatly improving the living conditions of Siberian tigers in the wild.However, much more needs to be done to protect the species. It is necessary to combine the tiger protection areas in the two countries. That will require greater efforts from both sides and some difficulties might remain even then. Fortunately, both countries have been taking effective measures to provide the endangered species a better home.4. What's the original purpose of setting up the Sino-Russian borders?A. To ban people from illegal crossings.B. To help protect tigers in the region.C. To protect tigers from losing their way.D. To stop tigers' breeding and exchange of genes.5. What does the underlined phrase “comes in the way of” probably mean?A. keeps from.B. is on the way toC. is aimed atD. keeps up6. What is the focus of Paragraph 4 ?A. Recent studies and researches on tigers.B. Joint efforts by China and Russia to protect tigers.C. The possible effects of establishing a networkD. Reasons for improving the living conditions of tigers.7. What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To inform the possible dangers of tiger protection.B.

To report the problems and measures of cross-border tiger protection.CImprovements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of research suggests that arebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistent estimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.“We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hoped­for savingsdates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carbon­capture technology than is currently being planned for.But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.8. Which of the following is a rebound effect?A. A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.B. A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.C. A family saves money by using energy­saving devices.D. A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.9. How did Paul Brockway's team carry out their research?A. By interviewing economists.B. By analyzing former studies.C. By modeling the rebound effect.D. By debating about the Jevons paradox.10. What would Paul Brockway probably agree with?A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment.D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.11. What's the author's attitude towards limiting the rebound effect?A. Positive.B. Pessimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.DThis is a true story. Tristin Saghin enjoyed themovie “Black Hawk Down” very much, which is about the conflict inSomalia. The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying interested him greatly.There was just one problem: Tristin was only 9 years old, and it was thought that movie was not for children. When his parents caught him watching it on TV, they made him turn it off, though he had finished his homework and it was not late. Then one day, Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother inMesa,Arizona. Tristin’s 2-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool. Realizing the little girl was missing, the family ran outside, only to find the girl had fallen into the water.Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground, the child wasn’t breathing. The family called the ambulance, but no one knew how to do first aid. No one, that is, except for Tristin. A scene in “Black Hawk Down” describes a doctor giving first aid. Tristin remembered it. Then the 9-year-old gave first aid to his sister at once and saved her life.His parents don’t stop him seeing the movies he likes any more.Tristin taught himself how to do first aid but he had never thought he could use it to save his little sister’s life.

Like many people, I've needed the curing effects of reading more than ever. As scientists and psychologists will tell you, books are good for the brain and their benefits are particularly vital now.Books expand our world, providing an escape and offering novelty, surprise and excitement. They broaden our view and help us connect with others. Books can also distract us and help reduce ourmental chatter.When we hit the “flow state" of reading where we're fully lost in a book, our brain's mode network calms down. It's a network of brain that is active and gets absorbed in thinking and worrying endlessly when we are not doing anything else.There is so much noise in the world right now and the very act of reading is kind of meditation. You disconnect from the chaos around you.You reconnect with yourself when you are reading. And there's no more noise.In 2020, the NPD Group recorded the best year of book sales since 2004. Yet even as people are buying more books,many are reporting they're having a harder time getting through them. It's difficult for your brain to focus on a book when it's constantly scanning for threats to keep you alive.Our fight-or-flight response has been consistently activated.Sometimes I picture my brain as a cartoon brain with little arms and legs, fighting with a book I am holding and screaming: “Can't you see I'm busy!” Anxiety causes our brain to produce a flood of stress,which consumes our energy and makes it harder to concentrate.Then one day in December sitting on my couch, I remembered how much I like to read"The House of Mirth" every few years around the holidays. The memory inspired me to pick up the familiar book, opened it up and started reading.I just kept going.The comfort and distraction and brain-opening experience gave me peace.So return to something familiar.4. What does the underlined part “mental chatter” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Getting lost in a book.B. Non-stop inner anxiety.C. Chatting with the author.D. Powerful network of brain.5. What do we know about reading according to the text?A. It can treat our headache.B. It can calm down the noisy people.C. It forces us to concentrate.on thinking.D. It makes us communicate with ourselves.6. Why was it difficult for people to finish reading books in 2020?A. People bought too many books.B. The books were too difficult to understand.C. People just wanted to escape from the threat.D. The life threat disturbed people's focus on books.7. Why is the author's experience mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To rid people of concern for safety.B. To present an effective reading way.C. To wake up memories of an old book.D. To recommend the book he/she reads.CTrue friend from a distant landInternational friends can come in many shapes and sizes. However they arrive on the scene, they are always appreciated, especially in times ofturbulence. Michael Lindsay (1909 — 94) is a case in point.After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1931, Lindsay arrived in China in 1937 on a ship from Canada intending merely to teach economics at Beiping Yenching University, the current Peking University. He traveled with Norman Bethune the Canadian doctor who dedicated his life to medicine in China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931 — 45).Lindsay left Beijing at the end of 1941, and went to the Communist-led Jinchaji base(晋察冀边区)together with his wife Li Xiaoli, who was a Shanxi local and a former student of his.“Lindsay was inspired by the hard work local Chinesepeople made in fighting against Japanese aggression. After learning that Chinese armies on the frontlines were suffering supply shortages, Lindsay was determined to lend a hand," says Yan Juhai, a retired official from Shanxi's Lyuliang city. "In the Jinchaji base, NieRongzhen( 1899— 1992), the base's top commander, appointed him to work as the communications expert, where he became a full-time radio technician contributing greatly in communication technology innovation and training," says Yan.In 1944 Lindsay and his wife arrived in Yan'an in Shaanxi province and helped fix its telecommunication equipment. They stayed for 18 months in Yan'an, and after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they decided to return to the United Kingdom to visit their parents.8. Which word in the following can best replace the underlined word?A. peaceB. warC. stressD. sorrow9. Why did Lindsay go to the Communist-led Jinchaji base according to Yan Juhai?A. Because his wife was a Shanxi local.B. Because he was warmly invited by NieRongzhen.C. Because he was touched by Chinese people's effortsD. Because he was more interested in communications.10. What can we learn from the article?A. Lindsay and his wife stayed in China for over 8 years.B. Lindsay's wife was also skilled in communication technology.C. Lindsay was appointed as the communications consultant in Shanxi province.D. Lindsay taught economics in the Jinchaji base besides his work as a radio expert.11. Where is the text probably from?A. a guidebookB. a novelC. a diaryD. a newspaperDThe World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost, whichthe conservation group says has placed the health of the planet at risk.The WWF recently released its 10th Flagship Living Planet Report. The group warns the condition of the world's animals is worse than its earlier reports showed, indicating worldwide action is needed.The WWF is worried about the loss of and damage to Earth’s environment. The report provides information about more than 10,000 animal populations from 1970 to 2010. These populations are called “vertebrate species,” or animals with backbones — like fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The report shows these populations have dropped by 52 percent in just 40 years. It warns freshwater species have fallen by 76 percent, which is almosttwice the loss of land and ocean species. Most of these losses are in the tropics, with the biggest drop inLatin America.Marco Lambertini, the WWF’s International Director-General said, “This is about losing natural habitats. This is aboutconvertingforests, grasslands, and wetlands into agriculture mainly, and it is about unsustainable use of wildlife. Illegal hunting has been actually increasing over the last 10 years, which definitely a driving force for extinction, particularly of large species.”The report also notes what it calls the world’s “Ecological Footprint”, that is, the effect of human activities on the planet. Mr. Lambertini says there has been an increase in carbon dioxide gases and the pouring of nitrogen into oceans and rivers from fertilizers used in agriculture, which certainly cannot continue.“We are consuming on average every year about the equivalent of about 1.5, one and a half times the resources available to the planet. That means we are cutting trees more quickly than they can be restored. We are fishing the oceans more quickly than fishing stocks can reproduce, and we are emitting in the atmosphere more CO2than the natural systems can actually absorb, which is clearly not sustainable.”Mr. Lambertini warns climate change affects almost everyone on the planet and that whole species may disappear if the world does not reduce the effects of humans on the climate.12. According to the passage, what kind of species faces the biggest drop in population?A. Land and ocean species.B. Animals with backbones.C. Freshwater species inLatin America.D. Freshwater species in the tropics.13. All the following can contribute to the loss of world’s wildlife population EXCEPT ________.A. turning wildlife habitats into agriculture land.B. making sustainable use of wildlife.C. hunting illegally.D. emitting CO2 gases and pouring nitrogen.14. Which does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Conserving.B. Conveying.C. Exchanging.D. Transforming.15. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. Marco is much concerned about human’s current behaviors towards wildlife.B. what the planet provides now can satisfy human’s sustainable development.C. more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost.D. if humans reduce the effects on the climate, the whole species will not disappear.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
