AShanghai Disney Resort has revealed its ticket prices for Disneyland claiming the lowest of all 12 Disney parks and six resorts in the world.Shanghai Disneyland ticket prices are set at 499 yuan (75 dollars) for the grand opening period (June 16-30, 2016) and regular price at 370 yuan. Its regular price for a one-day ticket is lower than its peers in Hong Kong, which is priced at 539 yuan and the Disneyland in Tokyo in Japan at 374 yuan. The regular price for a one-day ticket at the two parks in Los Angeles is $139. Tickets for Shanghai’s Disneyland will be on sale on March 28, 2016.Shanghai’s Disneyland will have it s opening day on June 16, 2016. All tickets will be date-specific and valid for admission only on the date purchased.Peak pricing for high-demand dates, including designated holidays, summer holidays and weekends, is set at 499 yuan. Special pricing will be provided to categorized guests: children (1.4m and below), seniors (65 years old and above) and guests with disabilities will receive discounts of 25 percent, infants (1m and below) receive free admission. A two-day ticket will be available at a five percent discount. On March 28, 2016, guests can obtain information on tickets through several official channels.The project has been under construction for more than six years now. Jun 16-that is, 6-16-2016-has been apparently chosen as the date of opening because the three 6s are believed to be auspicious, foretelling success.Real estate professionals believe any success of Shanghai Disney Resort would entail all-round benefits for the area. For example, visitors in huge numbers would likely spark a retail boom in Shanghai."Supplies of retail properties are really limited now and prices have more than doubled in the past 12 months. Obviously, investors believe that even a 10 square meter space for a noodle stand will be really profitable if it is close enough to Disneyland," said Lu Jianxin, a real estate agent with Shanghai Huayu Property Ltd.21.According to the passage, in which place is the regular price for a one-day ticket highest?A. Shanghai.B. Los Angeles.C. Tokyo.D. Hong Kong.22.According to the passage, how much will the two-day tickets cost if a couple go to ShanghaiDisneyland on July 16, 2016, Saturday?A. About 1900 yuan.B. About 2000 yuan.C. About 1500 yuan.D. About 1400 yuan.23.What does the underlined word “auspicious” mean?A. suspiciousB. successfulC. luckyD. unsuccessful24.What does this passage most probably come from?A. A school textbook.B. A news report.C. An advertisement.D. An introduction of a scenic spot.BGregory Talley used to sleep in a park, at an airport, or under a bridge. The 50-year-old has been homeless for more than 10 years. “It is hard. It’s hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat. If I hadn’t found wonderful Fairfax Coun ty Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn’t know where I would be by now. I might be dead,” Talley said.According to 2015 government data, more than a half-million people in the United States are homeless on any given night. As many homeless shelters across the U.S. remain at or near capacity, the country faces complicated challenges. In his fiscal 2017 budget, President Obama proposed spending $11 billion over the next 10 years to fight family homelessness.The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless families and individuals in the Washington suburbs. Pam Michell has dedicated her life to making the lives of this vulnerable population better as executive director of the nonprofit organization.“I went to Africa in 1985. And I sa w an immense amount of poverty, but I saw so much hope. And I wondered what I was doing at home in my middle-class American life and decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people,” Michell said. “It is convenient, homelessness j ust happened to be what was around me. So I picked that,” she added.When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three shelters had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless people every year. Michell has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night.“We do outreach, we do prevention, we do permanent housing, we do transitional housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness,” she said. “Our Out of Poverty program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility.”25.Gregory Talley is mentioned in the first paragraph in order to __________.A. introduce the topicB. support the main ideaC. draw the reader’s attentionD. raise the reader’s awareness26.From the passage we know that the Kennedy Shelter ____________.A. is a nonprofit organizationB. is a place for the homeless to spend the nightC. is located in WashingtonD.C. D. provides 350 beds for 1500 people27.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. There were homeless people everywhere Michell went.B. New Hope Housing does not just provide beds for the night.C. New Hope Housing has three shelters for the homeless.D. Michell started to work with New Hope Housing in 1985.CAs an English learner, you want to be able to understand and to discuss a subject. You want to have the ability to express your opinions, and to support that opinion with a clear argument. You can learn these skills by learning how to debate.In everyday conversation, Americans use the word debate to talk about discussions among people. When people debate, they give their own opinions about a topic.Another use of the word debate describes a more formal discussion. Debaters work on a team to convince a judge that their opinion about a topic has more value than the opposite side’s.Debate is part of the tradition of forensics started in Ancient Greece. The Greeks thought that, in a democracy, people needed to have certain skills. These skills included speaking in public in favor of an opinion, and providing evidence to support one’s opinion.The Greeks supported the development of these skills by holding contests. Western education today continues the tradition with competitions between debate teams.Charles LeBeau wrote a book with Michael Lubetsky called “Discover Debate” to help teachers understand a simple way to teach debate. The method depends on creating a kind of visual aid known as a graphic organizer. The visual aid reflects the way we talk about critical thinking and developing an argument.Students work with the idea of building their argument just like they would build a house. They would draw their house on paper or a whiteboard and list:•The focus of the discussion or the debate is the roof.•The reasons and arguments are the “pillars” to support the roof.•The data, numbers, examples, and expert opinions provide the concrete foundation.The house approach gives students who have not experienced a debate in their own culture a way to plan what they will say to support their message.28.You are debating when ____________.A. you have an idea and discuss it with your classmates or friendsB. you are learning a foreign language and discussing a subjectC. you speak in protection of your opinions trying to convince othersD. you express your opinions in a competition before a judge29.The book “Discover Debate” is intended for ___________.A. teachersB. debatersC. speech competitorsD. English students30.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Ancient Greeks were fond of debating with opponents.B. Ancient Greeks made speeches in public to express their ideas.C. There are debating lessons in all Western schools today.D. Drawing a house before making a speech helps the speaker a lot.31.What does the underlined sentence (the last paragraph) suggest?A. A house is helpful to planning a speech.B. The house approach is useful for language learners.C. It’s a good idea for English learners to learn the house approach.D. Debate is a must for all students in the world.DThere was daylight. Glass could tell that much without moving, but otherwise he had no idea of the time. He lay where he fell down the day before. His anger had carried him to the edge of the clearing (森林的空地), but his fever stopped him there.The bear had hurt Glass from the outside and now the fever hurt from within. It felt to Glass as if hehad been hollowed out. He trembled uncontrollably, dreaming of the warmth of a fire. Looking around, he saw that no smoke rose from the remains of the fire in the campsite. No fire, no warmth.He wondered if he could at least go back to his blanket, and made a tentative effort to move. The movement caused something deep in his chest. He felt a cough coming on and tensed his stomach muscles to stop it. The muscles were painful from earlier battles, and despite his effort, the cough broke out. It felt like his inside was being torn out through his throat.When the pain of coughing decreased, he focused again on the blanket.I have to get warm. It took all his strength to lift his head. The blanket lay about twenty feet away. He rolled from his side to stomach, moving his left arm out in front of his body. Glass bent his left leg, then straightened it to push. Between his one good arm and his one good leg, he push-dragged himself across the clearing. Each breath drew like a cutting through his throat, and he felt again the trembling in his wounded back. He stretched to grab the blanket when it came within reach. He pulled it around his shoulders, embracing the weighty warmth of the Hudson Bay wool. The he passed out.Through the long morning, Glass’s body fought against the infection of his wounds. He slipped between consciousness, unconsciousness and a confusing state, aware of his surroundings like random pages of a book, scattered glimpses of a story with no continuity to bind them. When conscious, he wished desperately to sleep again, if only to gain respite (暂缓) from the pain. Yet each interlude (中间) of sleep came with a terrifying thought that he might never wake again. Is this what it’s like to die?32.From the passage, we know that __________.A. Glass was a hunter who used to hunt bears in the forestB. Even though Glass was wounded, he killed the bear at lastC. After fighting with a bear, Glass was seriously woundedD. Glass lay in the clearing for a week without being found33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. All the other people were searching for Glass when he was lying in the clearing.B. Glass managed to put the blanket around his shoulders before he passed awayC. With one good arm and one good leg, Glass pushed-dragged himself back homeD. The whole morning Glass was sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious34.Paragraph 5 of this passage mainly tells us ___________.A. how Glass was wounded by a bear and diedB. what happened to Glass before he recoveredC. why Glass tried to get his blanket backD. how Glass struggled to keep himself warm35.We can infer from the passage that ___________.A. a desire for life supported Glass to struggle against hardshipsB. life in the forest used to be hard for both animals and manC. Hudson Bay was a small city where best wool was producedD. Glass wanted to sleep as much as possible to recover soon第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairsand politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building.The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. Thenext day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching bandwas playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his musicloud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did withrude neighbors-grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else areyou going to do?In Los Angles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighborthat he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the headand his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman mightbe wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.4.The man living below where Edward lived was .A.a deaf manB.the owner of the houseC.a tenantD.an old neighbor5.What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A.Grinning and bearing it.B.Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C.Shouting them to dead.D.Moving away from the rude neighbors.6.The woman killed her neighbor because .A.he ignored her advice repeatedlyB.she could not stand his playing the guitar too loudC.she could not put up with him any longerD.he played the drums too often7.The author writes the last paragraph to prove that .A.being in prison means the loss of freedomB.grinning and bearing it is the best policyC.Edward should follow the example of the womanD.the woman was right to kill her neighborCPicture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.8. People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A. appreciate car tires.B. enjoy delicious mealsC. see the new robot chefsD. escape from work9. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. British scientistsB. The robot chef’s armsC. Cooks at restaurantsD. Household wives10. Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A. BreadB. BeefC. SushiD. Sandwich11. What can we infer from the passage?A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.DHas this happened to you? You’re about to drift off to sleep when suddenly you feel like you’re falling or coming down on a roller coaster.You then wake up to realize that you’re safe in your bed. You may have been confused or frightened for a second or two and your heart may be beating faster. You may have also felt the muscles in your body jerk(抽搐) when this all happened. Did you ever wonder why?This falling sensation, together with a body movement known as a “sleep start”, is what doctors and scientists call a myoclonic(肌阵挛的)jerk, and it usually happens right before going into deeper stages of sleep. Here’s why doctors think the falling feeling and myoclonic jerks happen. When you fall asleep, normally your body temperature goes down and your heart start to beat just a little slower. This is because your brain signals your body to relax to prepare for sleep. When your muscles are relaxed, you go into the very first stages of sleep, but you’re not sleeping too deeply yet.This brain activity may cause your larger muscles to contract(收缩) a little bit. In response, another part of your brain will make up a very quick mini-dream to go along with what is happening. You might think this would take a while, but your brain works so fast that it makes up the story almost at the same instant that your muscles jerk.During this light sleep, you can be awakened easily. People who wake up during this light sleep believe they haven’t fallen asleep yet. That’s why you may think that your body jerked right before you were about to fall asleep.Myoclonic jerk are a normal part of sleep. Most people have them at one time or another. But many people don’t realize their muscles are jerking during night sleep if it doesn’t wake them up.So the next time you dream about falling and wake up in a sweat, don’t worry! Your body is just telling your muscles to relax and get some rest!12. People sometimes wake up during a light sleep because______.A. they are disturbed by others.B. they are too tired to fall asleep.C. their bodies are preparing for sleep.D. they believe their lives are in danger.13. What does the underlined part “ what is happening” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The body jerkB. The mini- dreamC. The slow heartbeatD. The falling body temperature14. The author thinks myoclonic jerks during sleep are _____.A. worryingB. usualC. abnormalD. useful15. It can be inferred that myoclonic jerks ________.A. lead to muscle diseaseB. happen in a deep sleepB. are related to brain disease D. don’t always wake people up第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, Can I have a room of my own? I could use Jeff‟s. He won‟t mind.”It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could-or-should know everything about him.It turned out that getting Jeff‟s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won‟t be living at home again —you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here — they had all opened up again.As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff‟s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.4.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “______”.A. Jeff needed his right to privacyB. Jeff finally flew out of the houseC. Jeff got tired of those familiar storiesD. Jeff would have less to do with his family5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. John was moving to live with his brother.B. John was eager to get a room of his own.C. Jeff volunteered to give his room to John.D. Jeff refused to let his brother have his room.6.How did the author feel about her children‟s sense of independence?A. Delighted.B. Jealous.C. Mixed.D. Embarrassed.7.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the children did not like to live with adultsB. all her three kids made the author feel depressedC. none of the members in the family thought the same wayD. the author loved and missed the time together with her kidsCAfter more than 3,000 years, a statue of the Egyptian king Amenhotep III has been erected in the city of Luxor after being knocked down by an earthquake.One of the great figures in the story of ancient Egypt, Amenhotep III was a boy king. He became king of Egypt at the age of only 12 years. He ruled at a time when Egyptian civilization was at its very height.Amenhotep III was given statues in his honor and among them this 13-meter-high statue stood on the bank of the Nile until it was knocked down by an earthquake 3,000 years ago. So for 30 centuries, it lay in pieces in the field, more than 80 pieces. Now the statue has been restored and shown to the public. There is another very similar huge statue of Amenhotep III. It was also damaged by that earthquake. And it, too, has been repaired and put back in its place. These two statues stand at the gates of the famous funerary temple in Luxor, which has another two huge seated figures of the kings.And the background for this is just that tourism is very important to the Egyptian economy after what‟s been happening recently. Years of disturbance (骚乱)has hit the Egyptian economy in many ways and any improvement of that economy will need to be helped by the tourist industry. The legacy(遗产)of ancient Egypt is so much, so important to that tourist industry. And the images coming from Luxor today show just how delighted and proud the archeologists and the local people are for what they‟ve seen today.8. What can we learn about Amenhotep III from the passage?A. He was deeply loved by Egyptians.B. He created the brilliant civilization of Egypt.C. He began to rule Egypt at a young age.D. He had a lot of statues built for himself.9. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 means _______.A. put downB. repairedC. given backD. recreated10. According to Paragraph 3, the two statues of Amenhotep III ________.A. were the same size and shapeB. were put back inside the funerary templeC. were knocked down by different earthquakesD. were both standing before a famous temple in Luxor11. How may repairing the statues benefit Egypt?A. It can promote the economic development of Egypt.B. It drives the development of archeology in Egypt.C. It can help to end the serious disturbance in Egypt.D. It encourages people to build great statues in Egypt.DElectronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as electronic music publishing. By delivering text direct to the reader‟s computer screen, the e-book could cut down costs, and allow creators to deal directly with their audience, by passing(绕开)traditional publishers and traders. But it also raises the possibility of mass piracy(盗版). Phil Rance, founder and managing director of Online Originals, a London-based e-book publisher, sums it up, “No one wants Napster(在线音乐服务)to happen to books.”Indeed, the most popular MP3 may have put the frighteners on an industry that generally operates some way behind the “bleeding edge”. The Meta Group, a leading US-based marketresearcher, says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their rights, “We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a river that is already overflowing. Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with new ways to develop wide electronic distribution, asking the question: How can we use the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage?”At the moment, most publishers would like to limit the use of e-books to the person who bought them, or to the computer used to download them.

His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ The customer is always right.”36. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. earn more money for his familyB. learn something from a salesmanC. get away from the farmD. get enough to eat.37. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap.D. the knives were produced in one factory.38. _____________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.A. His business skills and his wealth.B. The low price of the goods he sold.C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.D. His natural skill for showing things.39. The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that _______________.A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers arealways right.B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way.C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they want to make more money.D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successful.BThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.40. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D. The relation between study and work.41. “What Color is Your Parachute?” is a book which gives tips to those who want to _____.A. work on the airplaneB. buy a parachuteC. publish a bookD. find a suitable job42.

Miller’s company is helping people choose careersD. California Career Services mainly serves university students43. How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.CLanguage is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family areconnected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.44. The early language had ________.A. a lot of problemsB. words and easy grammarC. words but no grammarD. grammar but not many words45. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to _____.A. stay exactly the sameB. change a great dealC. change only a littleD. ask more words and drop some grammar46. What this article shows is that _____.A. languages change fastB. languages really don't want to changeC. language really with changes in societyD.

You’re about to drift off to sleep when suddenly you feel like you’re falling or coming down on a roller coaster.You then wake up to realize that you’re safe in your bed. You may have been confused or frightened for a second or two and your heart may be beating faster. You may have also felt the muscles in your body jerk(抽搐) when this all happened. Did you ever wonder why? This falling sensation, together with a body movement known as a “sleep start”, is what doctors and scientists call a myoclonic(肌阵挛的)jerk, and it usually happens right before going into deeper stages of sleep. Here’s why doctors think the falling feeling and myoclonic jerks happen. When you fall asleep, normally your body temperature goes down and your heart start to beat just a little slower. This is because your brain signals your body to relax to prepare for sleep. When your muscles are relaxed, you go into the very first stages of sleep, but you’re not sleeping too deeply yet.This brain activity may cause your larger muscles to contract(收缩) a little bit. In response, another part of your brain will make up a very quick mini-dream to go along with what is试卷第2页,共10页happening. You might think this would take a while, but your brain works so fast that it makes up the story almost at the same instant that your muscles jerk.During this light sleep, you can be awakened easily. People who wake up during this light sleep believe they haven’t fallen asleep yet. That’s why you may think that your body jerked right before you were about to fall asleep.Myoclonic jerk are a normal part of sleep. Most people have them at one time or another. But many people don’t realize their muscles are jerking during night sleep if it doesn’t wake them up.So the next time you dream about falling and wake up in a sweat, don’t worry! Your body is just telling your muscles to relax and get some rest!1、People sometimes wake up during a light sleep because______. A .they are disturbed by others. B .they are too tired to fall asleep. C .their bodies are preparing for sleep. D .they believe their lives are in danger.2、What does the underlined part “ what is happening” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A .The body jerk B .The mini- dreamC .The slow heartbeatD .The falling body temperature 3、The author thinks myoclonic jerks during sleep are _____. A .worrying B .usual C .abnormal D .useful 4、It can be inferred that myoclonic jerks ________. A. lead to muscle disease B. happen in a deep sleep B. are related to brain disease D. don’t always wake people upPicture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists. Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.5、People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A.appreciate car tires. B.enjoy delicious meals C.see the new robot chefs D.escape from work6、What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.British scientists B.The robot chef’s armsC.Cooks at restaurants D.Household wives7、Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A.Bread B.Beef C.Sushi D.Sandwich8、What can we infer from the passage?A.Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B.Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.C.Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D.It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.The pounding(重击声)was driving Edward crazy. A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereoloud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely toldthe newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down试卷第4页,共10页and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors -grinand bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option. 9、The man living below where Edward lived was .A .a deaf manB .the owner of the houseC .a tenantD .an old neighbor 10、What did Edward always do with rude neighbors? A .Grinning and bearing it.B .Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C .Shouting them to dead.D .Moving away from the rude neighbors.11、The woman killed her neighbor because . A .he ignored her advice repeatedlyB .she could not stand his playing the guitar too loudC .she could not put up with him any longerD .he played the drums too often12、The author writes the last paragraph to prove that . A .being in prison means the loss of freedomB.grinning and bearing it is the best policyC.Edward should follow the example of the womanD.the woman was right to kill her neighborMore than great drinks, great rewardsEnjoy all the benefits and more with your membership to our Loyalty Program!Whenever you pay with your membership account, you’ll earn a Star.Collect more Stars, earn more rewards.Three ways to join usBuy a Starbucks Card handy to create an account.Track your Stars online or through the mobile app, and we’ll send an email when you’ve earned a reward.You can also join from your phone.Download the Starbucks® App.One of the most exciting benefits of being a member is using our mobile app to: pay for purchases; view your Stars and rewards; access iTunes® Pick of the Week; see current offers.

Benjamin Franklin, whose picture is on the US 100-dollar note, was appointed to prepare the Declaration that was eventually signed by the other founding fathers.Franklin was born in 1706 in Boston to a soap maker named Josiah Franklin. His father could not afford full schooling for all his children, but Benjamin loved books and worked in his elder brother's printing business before starting a newspaper called the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729. He wrote and drew cartoons for the newspaper. In addition, he worked to improve living conditions in the city: introducing street lights, cleaning the roads and building libraries. In the 1740s, Franklin retired from his newspaper and turned to science with great success. He was a very smart man and his work on electricity, including the "kite experiment" which confirmed the nature of lightning, made him famous throughout the world.Franklin earned the title of the "First American" for his efforts to unite the 13 American states, and to win their independence. This part of the story starts in London. He was sent to the city to persuade the British to treat the American states more fairly. It was here that he began interacting with important political thinkers and activists of the time and developing his own political ideas.Following his return to America in 1761 he became much more active in American politics and in the battle against British rule.After the United States of America was established, Franklin held several important positions such as the first United States Postmaster General, Ambassador to France and President of Pennsylvania.

We must get used to computers that talk back.Last year, investment bank Deep Ventures attracted much media attention when it announced that it had appointed an AI computer to its board of directors to help make important business decisions. What actually happened was that the company used a program called VITAL to analyse potential investments (授资) in different businesses. But VITAL doesn't attend board meetings or vote —it's just a program. While it's not quite the evil robot we see in science fiction movies, it shows us how far computers and AI have advanced.Soon AI systems will be driving our vehicles, interpreting our facial expressions as we perform complex tasks, translating our voices into different languages and building other machines for us in factories around the world. But they won't look like us or pretend to be human.In the new film Ex Machina, a computer scientist is asked to assess whether a beautiful human-looking robot called Ava has human intelligence. I won't spoil the film for you, but it occurred to me that one of the reasons we believe other human beings are conscious and have intelligence is that we're told they are all the time. Indeed, if you stopped believing other people have minds, you would quickly find yourself unable to function in the world.Google's Eric Schmidt argues that we shouldn't worry about AI, and that we need instead to redesign our education systems so that we learn how to get on with the machines. As powerful computer-based intelligences continue developing, we must let go of the belief that only humans have intelligence and consciousness. Just as we have accepted the reality that the self-awareness that makes minds possible exists within the animal world, we may soon accept that it can also exist within the machine world.(1) According to Professor Stephen Hawking, human beings.A. may be endangered by strong AIB. are still more intelligent than machinesC. will benefit greatly from the advances in AID. will never be able to build a strong AI system(2) According to Paragraph 2, VITAL can.A. attend board meetings to voteB. make final decisions for the bankC. attract more investments to the bankD. assess the value of different businesses(3) The author predicts that AI machines will soon be able to.A. control people's facial expressionsB. construct other intelligent machinesC. have a human-like physical appearanceD. change people's speeches into different languages(4) Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?A. It is too late to stop the danger of artificial intelligence.B. Humans should learn to live with intelligent machines.C. Intelligent machines will eventually control the world.D. Only humans can have intelligence and consciousness.4、【来源】 2016年广东广州高三二模第32~35题8分2019~2020学年9月广东深圳南山区深圳大学附属中学高三上学期月考(深圳科学高中联考)(B)篇第24~27题8分(每题2分)Mature-age university students are annoying, I know. I understand that when you're 18 or 19, and already know everything, there's no need to do the readings or show up prepared for class. I also understand that there are these old people in class who should be doing other things—maybe retiring, or gardening in the backyard. They are eagerly asking questions (or worse, answering them) and generally loud.I understand because I used to be one of TAL#NBSP them. I dropped out of high school in Year 11 and after playing guitar in a band for a few years, I spent the next ten years working different jobs. Then a friend, who thought I was wasting my life, suggested I enroll at his university. Although afraid, I eventually took a university preparation course and a year later became a 35-year-old university freshman.Like many mature-age students, after completing my degree, I continued studying and eventually attained my PhD.Now I'm a lecturer at Toronto University in Canada. In fact, I have just finished preparing a group of mature-age students to annoy next year's young first years. My students come from many different backgrounds. But they all share an enthusiasm for knowledge and learning.I know they are ridiculous and show up to class with folders full of readings, minds overflowing with ideas and concepts they want to discuss. I was the same. But, contrary to the stereotype of the annoying mature-age students occupying the airtime in class, most don't want to control the discussion.They're likely to be waiting, counting away the seconds silently in the hope that someone will want to talk about all of these amazing ideas we're learning about. Only after waiting for younger voices to speak, ( but which often remain silent) do they begin talking.Speaking for myself, I love students who come prepared and ready to discuss stuff. So let's celebrate all of those "annoying" mature-age students.(1) According to the article, a mature-age student is a person.A. who behaves like an adultB. studying for a higher degreeC. not yet qualified to enter universityD. who starts university at an older age(2) In the first paragraph, the author.A. shows that he is opposed to mature-age studentsB. describes the problems mature-age students createC. makes fun of the attitude held by many young studentsD. explains why many teachers dislike mature-age students(3) What does the underlined word "TAL#NBSP them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Retired people.B. Early high school leavers.C. Mature-age university students.D. University students aged below 20.(4) Why do mature-age students often wait before speaking in class?A. They are not very familiar with the topic being discussed.B. They want to give the younger 'students more chances to speak.C. They lack the ability to give their opinions.D. They are more interested in hearing others' opinions.二、七选五5、【来源】 2016年广东广州高三二模第36~40题10分2016~2017学年广东广州高二上学期期末广州市天河外国语学校第16~20题10分Alone But Not LonelyIn today's fast-paced society, we've become uncomfortable with silence. We try to find different types of activities that can help us escape feelings of laziness orboredom.1Solitude(独处)does not have to be uncomfortable or lonely. In fact, solitude and loneliness are very different things.The death of a loved one or the inability to find people who understand you can leave you feeling lonely. Even if you are surrounded by other people, it's natural to experience an emptiness while longing for love or acceptance.2Geoffery F. Fisher once said, "In cities, no one is quiet but many arelonely.3"We often fill loneliness with all types of unsatisfying activities. Young people would rather spend a Friday night out with strangers, than spend the night alone. They're looking for a way to kill time while they await true friendship. Then there are young adults in gangs where they don't really like their companions.4Why does being alone scare us?Do not be afraid of silence.5It teaches you how to truly listen. It teaches you to pay attention to what's going on inside of you. Only when we are alone can we have the space and peace we need to think without being outwardly influenced. It therefore becomes easier to make important decisions as well as to reflect on how we are feeling.A. Loneliness is therefore a feeling that can be experienced whether or not one is physically alone.B. They would rather feel accepted on a shallow level than risk feeling alone.C. The problem of loneliness can be easily solved in a modern world.D. But, when doing so, the main thing we are trying to avoid is loneliness.E. In the country, people are quiet but few are lonely.F.

AAir conditioning, watermelons, and ice cream – we have all kinds of gadgets and food to get us through the summer. But what could be better during the hot months?The following are a few special and well-known water parks around the world. Take a good look, and know what the real water parks look like.Noah’s ArkLocation: Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, USNoah’s Ark offers many water slides. The most notable ride is the Black Anaconda. At more than 400 meters in length, it is the US’ most thrilling water coaster and sends riders spiraling down at speeds of up to 48 kilometers per hour. Plus, with 18 indoor water parks, Wisconsin Dells offers plenty of splashes for water lovers.Tropical Islands ResortLocation: Brandenburg, GermanyThis resort offers the largest indoor water park in the world – at 65,961 square meters. And its indoor pool can accommodate 6,000 visitors at a time. As Europe’s largest tropical holiday world, Tropical Islands is more than a water park. It’s a fully functional resort, featuring a theme park, an artificial rainforest, a lagoon, a beach, steam baths, saunas and many shops and restaurants. There are also several water slides and other activities that people of all ages can enjoy.Las Cascada Water ParkLocation: Aguadilla, Puerto RicoLas Cascada is well known for its incredible beauty. It is surrounded by tropical mountainforests and situated close to the ocean.The water ride, El Rio Pasivo, carries riders through the whole water park. They can see the mountains and waterfalls around it.Chimelong Water ParkLocation: Guangzhou, ChinaIt is one of the largest water parks in Asia. With its advanced technology, it also has many new aquatic facilities (水上设施) in the industry. One of the park’s rides offers a tube conveyor that transports riders up a 19-meter-tall tower. The park has implemented a special water treatment system that ensures safe PH levels and removes harmful germs.1. Which of the following parks most likely has the most thrilling water rides?A. Noah’s Ark.B. Tropical Islands Resort.C. Las Cascada Water Park.D. Chimelong Water Park.2. Which of the following water parks sounds the cleanest?A. Noah’s Ark.B. Tropical Islands Resort.C.

Wales is to become the first part of Britain to ban free carrier bags after deciding that efforts by supermarkets to cut waste have proved ineffective.Jane Davidson, the Welsh Environment Minister, said that the revenue would go to a new independent body, which would spend the money on local environmental projects. She admitted that a small number of people might switch to shops in England, where there are no plans to charge for carrier bags. She said that tough action was necessary. Ms Davidson, a Labor member of the Welsh Assembly’s ruling Labor-Plaid Cymrucoalition, hopes the ban will embarrass hercounterparts in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland into similar action.Wales is planning to use a little-known clause(条款) in last year’s Climate Change Act, which enables the government to outlaw free bags. Ms. Davidson said: “We want to encourage people to think about what they do. All the other ministers are still signed up to the voluntary agen da. You will see a different message from me.”Last week the media revealed that Tesco had published misleading figures giving the impression that it had met a voluntary target to halve the use of plastic bags in three years. Seven supermarket chains reported last month that the total number of free bags they had issued had fallen by 48 percent to 450 million a month in the three years to last May. The figures masked that Marks & Spencer, the only chain to charge for bags, had made much faster progress than its rivals. It cut bag use by 83 percent after introducing a 5p charge last year. Ms. Davidson said that banning free bags would encourage a wider shift to a less wasteful society. She was considering a charge of between 5p and 15p, but indicated that she favored the upper end of the range.4. Which city is the first part of Britain to ban free carrier bags? _______A. WalesB. EnglandC. ScotlandD. Northern Ireland5. A certain amount of purchase will take place in England because_____________.A. the carrier bags are cheaper thereB. the carrier bags are free thereC. the goods there are cheaperD. the goods there are free6. The government cited a little-known clause in last year’s Climate Change Act for the purpose of _________.A. arousing public’s sense of reducing wasteB. reducing the customers’ resistanceC. promoting charging bags with legal meansD. enabling supermarket to cut waste7. According to Ms. Davidson, she preferred a free bag’s charge to be ________.A. 5pB. 15pC. between 5p and 15pD. above 15pCHave you ever imagined that one day everything your body needs will come in powder form and all you have to do is add water?Soylent, a drink developed by a group of US engineers, claims it can do just that. It can provide your body with all the nutrients it needs and for as long as you want, you don’t have to eatany food. This April, Soylent shipped its first batch of products to consumers in the US.Robert Rhinehart is the 25-year-old co-founder and chief executive of the firm selling the drink. He found himself spending too much time and money searching for nutritious meals while he was working in San Francisco.An electrical engineering graduate, Rhinehart began to consider food as an engineering probl em. He was quoted as saying by The New Yorker: “You need carbohydrates (碳水化合物), not bread.” He began to think that food was an inefficient way of getting what he needed to survive.He took a break from work and taught himself about nutrition and nutritional biochemistry. Eventually, Rhinehart came up with a list of nutrients required for survival. Then, he ordered them on the Internet – mostly in powder or pill form – and poured everything into a blender, with some water. The result, according to The New Yorker article, looked like gooey (粘稠的) lemonade. Then, Rhinehart started living on it. In several interviews, Rhinehart said Soylent changed his life and made him healthier than ever before.Soylent may potentially be good for the environment, too. According to a Guardian article, food production is responsible for 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions (排放). But should we completely replace our daily meals with a drink? Not many people are enthusiastic about the idea.After all, most of us see food as not merely fuel, but also a pleasure. New York Times writer Farhad Manjoo lived largely on Soylent for a week and a half. He declared that “Everything about Soylent screams function, not fun”.Lizzie Widdicombe, who wrote The New Yorker’s article on Rhinehart, also tried out Soylent. She said: “Meals provide punctuation to our lives: we’re constantly recoveri ng from them, anticipating them, riding the emotional ups and downs of a good or a bad sandwich. With a bottle of Soylent on your desk, time stretches (延伸) before you, featureless and a little sad.”8. Which of the following is TRUE about Soylent?A. It is perfect to replace daily meals.B. It is a drink developed by a group of nutritionists.C. It has been put on test sales in the US for a very long time.D. It can provide the body with nutrients it needs in the form of powder.9. Why did Robert Rhinehart want to invent Soylent?A. He found that bread didn’t contain enough carbohydrates.B. He was tired of inefficient traditional ways of fueling his body.C. He discovered the lemonade-like drink made people healthier.D. He got inspiration when he was learning nutritional biochemistry.10. What are the advantages of Soylent according to the article?a. It is tasty.b. It is green.c. It saves time.d. It is better absorbed than common food.A. bcB. bdC. abdD. bcd11. What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A. Soylent may not become popular among consumers.B. Using Soylent is beneficial for our changeable emotion.C. It is convenient and fun to use Soylent.D. Soylent is strongly opposed by the two reporters.DAn app that does nothing but send a simple notification of “Yo” to recipients is the most popular app right now in the US.The app, named Yo, reached No 1 on the Apple App Store in the US last week, after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18 that the app has received $1 million (6.23 million yuan) in investment funding.Created in just eight hours by Or Arbel, a 32-year-old app developer from Tel Aviv, Israel, Yo claims to be the “simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world”. With a single tap, users can send the word “Yo” to one another in a voice notification (语音提醒) – and nothing else.Arbel said about his app in an interview with The New Yorker that, “It’s a whole new way of communication. A hundred and forty characters is way too much these days … It’s lightweight, easy, you don’t have to open a message – the notification itself is everything you need.”When Yo was launched on April Fools’ Day this year, the Apple App Store at first rejected it on the grounds that it lacked substance. Many people still see the app as a joke.Arbel calls Yo “context-based (基于语境的) communication” and some people are beginning to “get it”. Jordan Crook, from Tech Crunch, explains why the context of a “Yo” says much more than two little letters: “As with anything, a ‘Yo’ can just be a ‘Yo’. But you’ll feel a very real difference betw een a ‘Yo’ you get in the morning from a friend and a ‘Yo’ you get in the evening from a bored friend. Trust me. And that’s the magic.”But people don’t always want to load their “Yos” with meaning. David Shapiro, from The New Yorker, says now when he thin ks about someone, he just “Yos” them instead of spending time starting and carrying on a conversation. He says it’s a great way of saying: “I’m thinking about you but I don’t have anything in particular to say.” Social media constantly demands our time and attention. Not responding to text messages and e-mails can hurt relationships. But, Shapiro says a “Yo” doesn’t seem to demand a reply. “What a relief,” he says.12. Which of the following is TRUE about the app Yo?A. It is a better type of social media than micro-blogging.B. It was launched on April Fools’ Day this year as a joke.C. Because it is simple to use, it has become an instant success.D. Though it enjoys great popularity in the US, opinions on it are still divided.13. The underlined word “substance” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____.A. adequate investmentB. necessary technique supportC. the quality of being meaningfulD. the quality of being fashionable14. According to David Shapiro, Yo ______.A. has more meanings than two lettersB. is an efficient way to connect with othersC. is the best way to indicate that you’re missing someoneD. is useful when you want to start a conversation but don’t know what to say15. The main purpose of the article is to _____.A. tell the story of how Yo was createdB. present people’s opinions of YoC. give a brief introduction of YoD. attract potential customers to Yo第二节(共5小题;每小题2分;满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
