Ed and I, plus his parents and sister Doris and eight-year-old niece Alisha, are on a road trip to Yosemite. Ed wants Subway, I want. In-N-Out Burger, Doris wants Son ic. In the end, we compromise on McDonald’s, where Alisha will get an action figure.It’s a three-hour drive to Yosemite, but we’re taking a little longer, as we’re working in a tour of Highway 80’s public restrooms. As the saying goes, “Not one bladder（膀胱）empties but another fills.” Many of these restrooms belong to gas stations. I prefer them to the high-tech ones on planes.We get back on the road. Ed is driving now. When all the tabloids（小报）have been read, the travel has grown tedious and anyone under a ge 12 asks “Are we there yet?” atever-shortening internals. Just outside Manteca, California, we stop for coffee. At a Starbucks checkout, Ed buys a CD of Joni Mitchell’s favorite musical picks. The hope is that it will have a calming effect.As we pull back onto the highway, it starts to pour. Then something amazing happens. As we climb the mountain, the rain turns to snow. The pines are spotted with white. We’re struck dumb（说不出话）by the scene outside. For a solid 15 minutes, everyone forgets about their bladder, their blood sugar and the temperature. Alisha has never seen snow, so we pull over to make snowmen and catch snowflakes on our tongues. Then Ed realizes we need tire chains, and we have to turn back and drive 30miles to Oakhurst. “Good,” says Doris. “There was a verynice restroom there.”4．Where does the family have lunch?A．At Sonic.

Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems（茎）hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell-if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear-even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check tomake sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.8．Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?A．To analyze the content of some food.B．To describe tie shape of dodder plants.C．To explain where the dodder plants come from.D．To argue that dodder plants can be used.9．What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around? A．It will die sooner or later.B．It will grow deep roots.C．It will attract other plants.D．It will cover the entire area of soil.10．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Dodder does not produce its own food.B．Dodder can affect farmers’ income.C．Dodder can only survive in the shade.D．Dodder only grows in the warm areas.11．What is the main topic of the passage?A．A new variety of farm crops.B．Plants that are harmful to humans.C．The special abilities of a dangerous plant.D．Recent improvements in farming methods.Anki has introduced Cozmo, a little robot powered by an advanced artificial intelligence. Cozmo promises to be far more interactive（互动的）than any toy robot.Cozmo, which can lie in your hand, has a “brain”—technically its CPU—that can process data amazingly fast. In addition Cozmo has a playful personality. He’s designed to react to emotions and even ask users to play with him.Cozmo is not the first interactive toy to reach the market nor is it the first robot toy. What sets Cozmo apart from the other “smart toys” is that it has greater play value than those toys, which can become repetitious all too quickly.“Every interaction with Cozmo is dif ferent, so you do not put up with repetitive patternsand responses typically found with other preprogrammed robots,” explained Anki spokesperson Peter Nguyen. Because it has functionality that is similar to that of video games, Cozmo also can receive regular updates, which could extend its playability. Still, Anki has designed this toy to be just that: a toy. It’s not an advanced computerized robot. Its software is app-based.Cozmo lacks the “traditional” human-like robot form factor of legs, arms and a head. But Cozmo does have an OLED screen / face with blue eyes, which in fact were designed to help it connect with its user.“I’m glad my kids are already raised,” said Roger L. Kay, analyst an Endpoint Technologies Associates. “Otherwise, they might become more antisocial if their relationship with Cozmo is more satisfying than those with real people,” said Kay. “Cozmo might encourage kids to learn more about technology or even inspire them to try programming and similar studies,” said Charles King, analyst at Pund-IT.Yet this technology does promise to be more than a toy. “It’s a pretty cool invention and might have further applications, for example in elder care,” suggested Kay.12．What do we know about the appearance of Cozmo?A．It is small-sized. B．It is hand-shaped.C．It has colorful eyes. D．It looks similar to a traditional robot. 13．What makes Cozmo different from other “smart toys”?A．It avoids repetition. B．It is first robot toy.C．It can interact with users. D．It has app-based software.14．How might Cozmo help kids?A．By encouraging them to value toys.B．By exciting their interest in technology.C．By reminding them to take care of seniors.D．By help them communicate with others.15．What is the best title for the text?A．A new way of inspiring kids. B．An advanced computer robot.C．The development of toy robots. D．A playmate wanting to know you.二、七选五Are you suffering from FOMO—that is, Fear Of Missing Out? Research shows that agrowing number of young people are with worrying reasons for their sleep and schoolwork.16．You aren’t able to do your best unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that the optimum（最适宜）number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and know most of you get much less sleep than that.I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently.17．Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at appropriate times, but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack, but because of FOMO.According to the article, the number of students waking up during the night to check social media is growing. Afraid of missing a comment or opportunity to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved.18．Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report reveals some worrying statistics: 23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media.19．One in third of the students are constantly tired and unable to function to their full capacity.So I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Switch off your devices at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning!20．.A．But things are getting out of hand.B．I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important.C．Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.D．They did a study of 848 students in Wales.E.FOMO is the fear that everyone else is having more fun and more excitement than you.F.All happens when they should be sound asleep.G.Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night.三、完形填空It was an evening in September when I landed in Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak in Malaysia. I was a 19-year-old Dubai-raised kid away from home for the first time to 21 my undergraduate studies.I had never travelled alone before.

One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 21 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was 22 that they could, at any time, break free, 23 strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the 24 for this.He said, “When they were very young we used the 25 size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, theybelieve the rope can 26 hold them, so they never try.”Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 27 once before？Do you often tell 28 “I cannot dance”or “I’m not good at math”？These are 29 of self limiting beliefs.You must realize you’re 30 for them. A limiting belief that saysyou’re poor at math may have 31 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 32 you.The cool thing is that because you create the 33 you can choose to change it！Here is how:First, 34 it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your 35 , your subconsciousness (潜意识) will make this come true by driving you to 36 . That might be to take a math course or to go online 37 help, etc.Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are 38 .This is such a simple process that you can 39 it today. Don’t be like the poor elephants and make your life 40 at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.21. A.excited B.confusedC.discouragedD.worried22.

This voyage changed his life.He decided to stay when Columbus returned. Ponce was named governor of Puerto Rico (then called Boriquien) in 1508. While there, he heard many stories of a magical water source. People called it the Fountain of Youth and said that drinking its water kept you young.For the next few years, Ponce tried to find out where the Fountain of Youth was. He asked permission from Spain's King Charles V to go in search of it. The king consented, as long as Ponce paid for the ships and crew himself.The young explorer did so readily, and they set off. It was March 1513. They sailed for days but didn't see the fountain. On March 27, he came within sight of the Florida coast. On April 2, he landed at what he named St. Augustine. This was the first Spanish settlement on the mainland of North America.He had several adventures along the way. He did not, however, find the Fountain of Youth. He returned to Boriquien.He continued to govern tile island, and he continued to hear stories of the Fountain of Youth. Finally, in 1521, he set out again.This time, he landed on the Florida coast again. While he and his men were building houses for a new settlement, they were attacked by native tribesmen（部落成员）. Many of his men died, but Ponce escaped, although he was injured. He reached Cuba and entered a hospital, where he died of wounds from the attack in Florida. Juan Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth. Neither did anyone else, at least as far as we know.41.

Where can children attend the largest number of programs with low cost?A. Christian Brothers AcademyB. Rosamond Gifford ZooC. The Sheldon InstituteD. Syracuse UniversityCSchools are still free to pass the potato. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted to block a proposal(提议) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would have limited the amount of potatoes and other starchy(富含淀粉的) vegetables served in schools. And those vegetables high in carbohydrates(碳⽔化合物) would also have been banned from school breakfast. The USDA had wanted to make the changes to the federal school lunch program.The Senate’s amendment(修正案) blocks the USDA from putting any limits on amount of servings of potatoes or othervegetables in school lunches. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a potato—growing state, supported amendment. “USDA’s proposed rule would have put significant and needless costs on our nation’s school districts at a time when they can least afford it,”Collins said.Those in favor of potato limit say that children getenough potatoes already and should be encouraged to try other vegetables. The centre for science in the Public Interest pushed for the restrictions. “USDA’s proposal was about helping kids to eat a very wide variety of vegetables, and I think that opinion has been lost in all this,”said the Center’s Margo Wootan, “Other vegetables have a hard time competing with potatoes.”The proposed change upset potato growers, who believed potatoes were being unfairly targeted. Some schools have criticized the USDA’s attempt to tell them exactly what foods they can or can’t serve. Critics say the USDA should focus on advising schools on how to prepare the potato instead. Potatoes can be a good source of fiber. Many schools already prepare French fries with less grease(油脂) and serve potatoes in healthier ways.The USDA is expected to release a final list of guidelines for the federal school lunch program next year. Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, another potato—growing state, also supported the amendment that blocked the potato limit. “This amendment seeks to ensure flexibility for schools to provide nutritious and affordable school meals.”he said.48. What is the content of the proposal put forward by the USDA?A. Reducing the amount of starch vegetables served in schools.B. Reducing the amount of vegetables served in schools.C. Supporting serving potatoes in school.D. Stopping serving starchy vegetables in schools.49.

What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Food supplies in America affect students.B. Potatoes served in school will be limited.C.

From the Euro-Asian Silk Road to Columbus's Discovery of the New World, migrants have brought about cultural communications and economic exchanges across the world. Migration has become an important driving force for social progress.53. _______________________Nowadays, economic globalization has considerably improved the freedom and increased the attractiveness of migration from one country to another.A certain degree of Chinese emigration can not only offer more opportunities in personal life, employment and investment but also boost（促进）the exchange and cooperation between China and other countries.54._______________________However, the factors of the emigration wave should also be figured out.The topic of emigration seems serious because this new wave has to some extent reflected some “unlivable”factors in China. The reasons provided by Chinese emigrants include helping their children to avoid domestic exam-oriented education, obtaining a healthy living environment and sound social security, seeking a sounder investment environment and getting rid of the "anti-rich" atmosphere arising from the inequality in wealth.55. _______________________In order to curb（控制）the wave of emigration, China should further deepen social and economic reforms, improve its educational system to guarantee children'shealth and happiness, as well as strengthen the protection of private wealth through legislation. Furthermore, China shouldalso improve the social security system to increase people's happiness, crack down on corruption and promote social justice and equity so as to uphold the dignity of ordinary citizens. Only in this way can China retain its wealth, talent and confidence and curb the overheated immigration wave.第II卷第三部分：写作(共三节, 满分40分)第⼀节单词拼写(共10⼩题；每⼩题1分，满分10分) 根据下列各句句意和空⽩之后的汉语提⽰词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写⼀词。

江西省抚州市临川区第一中学2020-2021学年高二12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Pollution-sensitive DressDon’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress—which is actually quite pretty—looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients.Eco-friendly UmbrellaTraditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton(骨架) without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.Eco-friendly Moss (苔藓) CarpetIt is said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.1．Why is EPA Dress designed?A．To advise people to stay at home as often as possibleB．To stop people from meeting their clients if necessary.C．To make women look pretty even in the polluted air.D．To keep users informed of the polluted levels in the air.2．Compared with traditional umbrellas, the Eco-friendly Umbrella _____A．is changeable B．hasn’t any surfaceC．can be folded D．is made of newspapers3．Where does the text probably come from?A．A science report B．A personal blogC．A health report D．An official documentMary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her first week at Penn State University, after spotting them running around and idly(漫不经心地) wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Mary started bringing them food and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that she could do something to lift up peo ple’s spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside the state college, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperger syndrome(阿斯伯格综合征), but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we just start feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said. “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop(道具), and they’ll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Mary is graduating with degrees in English and Widlife Sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.4．What kind of change do squirrels bring to Mary?A．She is sicker than before. B．She is more interested in animals. C．She is more sociable than before. D．She is less willing to go to college. 5．How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats?A．By putting them in cages. B．By playing music to them.C．By attracting them with colorful food. D．By building a close relationship with them.6．Which words can best describe Mary?A．Patient and caring. B．Confident and strong.C．Sociable and healthy. D．Traditional and hard-working. 7．What can be the best title for the text?A．Mary’s experience in university.B．Making friends with wild animals C．The “Squirrel Girl” of Penn State University D．The bridge between Mary and squirrelsWhat are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the new age? There re diseases like AIDS and cancer. There’s climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the world’s growing population? Who’s going to solve all these terrible problems? Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But who’s going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change. It’s going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems. If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist? It doesn’t mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of amazing things that are actually interesting!Military scientists develop not only new weapons but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to catch criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrow’s scientists. Don’t think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking? You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing? Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order or improve their performance? You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world.Looking for something to do for the rest of your life? My advice? Take a long and hard look at science. It is interesting and ever.8．Many problems are mentioned in the first paragraph to .A．suggest they are impossible to be solvedB．introduce the causes of these problemsC．show the writer’s worry about the future worldD．show scientists play an important part in solving them9．What is needed to solve these problems? .A．Advanced weapons B．Enough energyC．New technologies D．A growing population10．Most people think the life of scientists is .A．amazing B．boringC．colorful D．unreal11．Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?A．Owing to military technologies, there has been no warsB．For those interested in cooking, food technologies may be a choiceC．Forensic scientists play an important part in dealing with crimesD．Most athletes can achieve greater achievement with the help of sports scientistsIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the mostcool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drive rs can’t even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all roadusers. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.12．According to the passage, trouble on the road are often caused by ____________. A．road conditions B．the speed of modern lifeC．the large number of car D．the behavior of the drivers13．In the writer’s opinion, ___________.A．drivers should show road politeness properlyB．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．unskillful drivers should be punishedD．drivers should avoid traffic jams14．The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means __________. A．politeness and impoliteness B．willingness to give in to each other’s wishesC．offering help to others as much as possible D．good manners and bad manners 15．What is the best title of the passage?A．Road Politeness B．Traffic ProblemsC．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad Driver二、七选五Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie(自拍). It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.16．Some selfies are extreme close-ups(特写镜头), and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends. 17．.There are also kinds of psychological (心理上的)actors driving people to take a selife and upload it to a social networking site. 18．. A quick and easy way to attract other’s attention is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies. 19．That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last butnot least, social media is about being social. If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so it be. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.Finally, there are t hings to be mindful of when you’re posting. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people. 20．So don’t post anything online, selife especially. A．There are lots of selfie styles.B．The rise of selfies has become universal.C．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selife activity.D．The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior.E.But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it.F.There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to doG.The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.三、完形填空Life is a series of choices and we can’t always foresee the consequences. Harr y Saleen, an obese man with too much money and power, faced a(n) 21 . Outside his office waited his personal doctor, 22 him and important news about the 23 medicine that could save his life.

【全国百强校】江西省临川第一中学2020-2021学年高二下学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择What’s best to read this year?Secrets I Know(Random House Children’s Books, ages 3-7)This tale written by Kallie George and pictured by Paola Zakimi follows a young girl and her little friend as they move from rain to sunshine, from pleasant loneliness to sweet friendship, and finally from adventures on earth to an exploration of the sky above. The colors of Zakimi’s pencildrawings are calming a nd George’s poetic text tells her story with simple language.Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3-7)The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora. Pandora lives alone. She makes herself a handsome home, but no one ever comes to visit. Then one day something falls from the sky -- a bird with a broken wing. Little by little, the bird helps Pandora feel less lonely. Turnbull’s watercolor and colored pencil drawings make this story of friendship and growth an atmospheric delight.Prince and Pirate(G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5-8)A different kind of friendship is described in this book, by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery. Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put into the same aquarium（水族馆). At first it seems that they’ll never learn to be friends. It’s only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3-5)The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson. When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing（吼叫）threateningly from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do. But it’s Mama Frog who fearlessly co nfronts（面对）the unknown creature. Helen Oxenbury’s soft watercolors creat a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive.1．Who pictured the book Pandora?A．Kallie George. B．Victoria Turnbull.C．Paola Zakimi. D．Charlotte Gunnufson.2．Which book tells a story about courage?A．Pandora. B．Secrets I Know.C．Prince and Pirate. D．The Giant Jumperee.3．What do the four books have in common?A．Their publishers are the same one. B．Their characters are all animals. C．They all have pencil drawings. D．They are all for younger readersEverybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run - this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that death seemed the preferable option.4．The first paragraph is intended to ________A．present an argumentB．make preparations for statementC．arouse readers' interestD．function as a brief introduction5．What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn?A．Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort.B．Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.C．There was a slim chance that Glenn could survive.D．Glenn could live a normal life with the upper halt" of his body.6．What do we know about Glenn?A．Glenn took recovery exercise in hospital.B．Glenn inspired people with his moving story.C．Glenn won the first place in Marathon.D．Glenn organized a track team in college.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Strengthen determinationB．Stand up after failureC．Go after dreamsD．Face difficulty bravelyAfter finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A．, is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless.In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day —— an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the coo kie was cited for being “too American.”So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.8．What do we know about fortune cookies?A．They are as popular in China as in America.B．They contain slips of paper with good wishes.C．They first appeared in America during WWII.D．They are often charged to the customers’ bill.9．Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A．To make profit.B．To express gratitude.C．To uplift people’s spirits.D．To help people out of hardship.10．Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’ s cookies?A．The fortune you seek is in another cookie.B．Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.C．I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.D．Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Symbol of Chinese CultureB．Chinese Restaurants in AmericaC．Can fortune cookie tell your fortune?D．Fortune cookie, Chinese or American?Last week, V odafone started a test of the UK’s first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, V odafone used its bit of the range to display the UK’s first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It i sn’t all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access. with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.The wider application is to support connected equipment on the “internet of things” -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a cas e of the emperor’s new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5G phone well before 5G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.12．Why does Prof William Webb say “the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes”?A．He is in favor of the application of the new technology.B．5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.C．5G helps people communicate better with each other.D．He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.13．The un derlined word “addressing” in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaningto .A．making a speech to B．trying to solveC．managing to decrease D．responding to14．The last paragraph indicates that .A．it’ll take several years to make 5G acc essible to the public in the UKB．5G service shows huge development potential and a broad marketC．customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G onesD．it’s probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain15．What do we know about the text?A．V odafone is successful in spreading the 5G service.B．Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G .C．The application of 5G will make life much easier.D．5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.二、七选五Lemon water is pretty popular. It’s offered as a free upgrade to regular water at pretty many restaurants.16．, others are devotees of the possible health benefits. Here’s what may happen if you take up the lemon water habit.Easier weight lossStudies in mice indicate that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in lemons can reduce weight gain despite a high-fat diet. More studies are needed to determine if the results can be applied to humans, but anecdotal evidence is favorable. People who drink lemon water regularlyreport easier weight loss, though it is unclear if the combination of lemon and water is the fundamental driver.17．.Get enough vitamin CVitamin C is an important antioxidant that has a ton of health benefits. It can only be gotten from food as our bodies don’t produce it alone. Getting y our RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of vitamin C can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Vitamin C is good for your skin and bonds with free radicals (自由电子) that accelerate aging.18．, but they’re a great source nevertheless.Stabilized moodsStudies have found that smelling lemon scent reduces stress hormones that regulate mood. Drinking lemon water offers this benefit as well as the vitamins and potassium(钾) in the fruit.19．, and high blood pressure is related to stress, so not getting enough potassium cancertainly affect your mood. All in all, lemon water can be a calming drink.In the end, drinking water is never a bad call, and there is absolutely no reason not to add lemon to it. Drinking lemon water provides some helpful nutrients and antioxidants. Give it a try!20．.A．Lemon is a common smell in all manner of cleaning productsB．Potassium plays a huge part in regulating blood pressureC．There is nothing to loseD．Lemons aren’t the highest in vitamin CE.While some people drink it simply because of its tasteF.If adding lemon to water can encourage people to drink moreG.It could be that drinking more water helps dieters to feel full and avoid overeating三、完形填空Many families usually take their children to travel during school breaks.
