There is now a museum for pizza lovers in America’s pizza capital, New York City． The Museum of Pizza is devoted to pizza, cheese and sauce, but there’s more to it than meets the tougue．“It’s often that the simplest ideas are the best．And we wanted to use pizza’s appeal to get people through the door and to look at art and hear about history in a different forms, ” said Alexandra Serio, Chief Content Officer at Nameless Network, the group that baked the Museum of Pizza idea． Another instantly recognizable characteristic of the space is the bright colors that are weaved （穿行） throughout the exhibits﹣perfect for taking social media﹣ready pictures．Located on the street level of Brooklyn’s William Vale hotel, the museum is a large, one﹣floor space that houses a wide variety of art, from giant photographs to sculptures that surround visitors．Serio said exhibits of this kind are becoming an advantage for museums as they try to get younger legs to walk through their doors．“It’s a kind of change,” she said．“You’ll see it in the next few years because of museums like the Museum of Ice Cream, and multiple pop ﹣ups （出现） of this kind of museums suiting a younger audience and seeing how they can make their exhibitions more attractive, touch and photography friendly．”“Honestly, I thought it would be like more of a museum in the beginning, with the pizza boxes and it tells you when it was developed and things like that, ” said Nene Raye, visitor from New Jersey．Lydia Melendez, a self﹣described “pizza fan”, bought her tickets in April and for her, this experience was worth the wait．“I thought it was going to be kind of boring, like I’m going to walk in and there’s just going to be a book about pizza and how to make it, but this is definitely one for the books．” she said．（1）What’s a noticeable attraction of the pizza﹣themed museum according to Serio？________A.

If we want a fair shot at transitioning to renewable energy, we’ll need one critical thing: technologies that can change electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice versa （反之亦然）． Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the expectation． Now, researchers have created small lab ﹣scale devices that do both jobs． If larger versions work as well, they would help make it possible﹣or at least more affordable﹣to run the world on renewables．The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States: in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the U． S． Energy Information Administration． But the demand for electricity often doesn’t match the supply from solar and wind． In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return home．Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra energy and balancing the financial sheet． But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to back up the power system for a few hours at most． Another option is to store the energy by transforming it into hydrogen fuel． Devices called electrolyzers （电解器） do this by using electricity﹣ideally from solar and wind power﹣to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a carbon﹣free fuel． A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to electricity to power cars, trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system． But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts （催化剂） to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can t do both jobs． The researchers must conquer this．“They did a really good job with that．” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston． Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from the O’Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations． For the technology to have a societal impact, researchers will need to scale up the button﹣size devices, a process that typically reduces performance．（1）What can we learn about the new device from the first paragraph？________A. Its universal use remains to be seen．B. It is more expensive but more practical．C. It can transform more renewable energy．D. It is the most advanced around the world．．（2）What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about？________A. The rapid development of American technologies．B. The potential market for energy transformation technologies．C. The history of energy transformation technologies．D. The lack of power in California．．（3）What may the researchers focus on next？________A. Lessening costly batteries．B. Increasing the efficiency of the two reactions．C. Looking for one shared catalysts for the two reactions．D.Breaking down water into a carbon﹣free fuel without using electricity．．（4）What is Haile’s attitude to the future of the new device？________A. Positive．B. Negative．C. Critical．D. Cautious．4. It is a question that has long puzzled scientists﹣exactly why are tigers orange? One might think it makes them more obvious﹣particularly against a leafy green forest background． William Blake summed it up in his famous poem known by generations of schoolchildren: “Tyger, tyger, burning bright / In the forest of the night．” But now the answer is at hand．While obvious to us, computer simulations （模拟） of what the big cats look to the main animals they hunt for, deer, show a different picture． Humans with normal colour vision, can see red, blue and green colours． But deer can only pick up blue and green light, they are effectively colourblind to the colour red, like some humans． It means the tigers’ orange colouration looks green to them, allowing them to mix perfectly into the background, new research claims．Dr John Fennell at the University of Bristol and colleagues said that they used computers to estimate how noticeable a given animal was． They did this by using images of the environment in which the animal lives, and then creating images to see whether the________ helps the animal to mix in．Dr Fennell writes that by simulating what the world looks like to animals who are “two﹣colour vision”﹣someone who cannot discover the difference between red and green﹣“we also identify the most suitable colours for hiding and visibility”．Dr Fennell writes in the Royal Society Journal Inter face: “Considering the coat of a tiger, it has fur that appears orange to a three﹣colour vision observer rather than some shade of green, though the latter should be more appropriate color for an attack hunter in forests． However, when viewed as a two﹣colour vision observer, the tiger’s colou r is very effective．”The question then arises as to why tigers don’t grow green coats． Dr Fennell and colleagues write that mammals （哺乳动物） are not able to produce green fur． To do so would “require a significant change to mammalian biochemistry”． There is only one mammal known to have green fur but this is achieved through what might be considered as, well, cheating, not exactly real．（1）Why does the author mention the poem in paragraph 1？________A. To arouse reader s interest in poems．B. To show the authors respect to the poet．C. To answer the question of the color of the tigerD. To stress the noticeable color of the tiger to us．．（2）What color is inexistent in the eyes of deer？________A. Black．B. Red．C. Blue．D. Green．．（3）What does the underlined word “camouflage” mean in paragraph 3？________A. The cover of something．B. The images of something．C. The way of hiding something．D. The way of hunting for something．．（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？________A. The colour of tigers sometimes cheats people．B. Getting green may prevent tigers from being extinct．C. There are no mammals with real green fur in the world．D. The tigers’ fur will probably evolve into green in the future．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Food will become healthier and the food choices will become smarter and promote healthy eating once your kitchen is well organized．（1）_______． They also give you a head startto start establishing a kitchen that encourages you to eat quality food．Keep fresh spices and herbs within reachable distance． When you add fresh herbs to your food， you can make it not only healthy but also delicious， which will help you in actively avoiding unhealthy foods like salt， butter， etc． These foods are known to raise the deliciousness． This is why it is hard for us to let it go initially．（2）_______， it becomes much easier to form good eating habits．Keep all your healthy items close at hand． Place all the low﹣calorie snacks easy to reachso that your first response is to grab something healthy when you have a hunger pang．（3）_______． They can be accessed only when you are facing extreme desire． This way， you can avoid the evil thought of grabbing one every time you enter the storeroom．Keep all your small appliances （电器） handy．（4）_______， chances are that they will end up at the back of the cabinet， never to be used again． Bring out all your small appliances like a juicer that has been eating dirt in your storage cupboards．（5）_______． Remove all the items from the fridge and clean it properly． You can also organize it in such a way that all your healthy food and produce are in the front and theother items are at the back．A． Keep your fridge organizedB． Make your fridge easy to cleanC． You can also add an iPad station in the kitchenD． These ideas will be helpful in better organizing your kitchenE． But once there are tastier and healthier alternatives within reachF． When you have to put in far too much effort to locate the small itemsG． You can also hide all your chocolates in a place where they are not visible to you第二节（每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式．Tied to skis （滑雪板） and pulled around a（1）________（freeze） lake by a thoroughbred racehorse﹣skijö ring is a sport like no other． The hardy skiers travel at frightening speeds， using just their voice and a set of rules to guide the horses around theicy track． The（2）________（usual） sport is considered the showpiece event of the White Turf races﹣a wintery festival held at the upmarket ski resort of St． Moritz．The sport requires the ability to mix skiing talent（3）________ a high﹣level of horsemanship．“During the race you need a really strong voice，” two﹣time race winner Valeria Holinger told CNN Sport． "Only by shouting can you make the horse go（4）________（fast） than others"．Competitors must wait until they’re 18 before（5）________（allow） to participate in the event． Even then， driver﹣as they’re known﹣must pass fitness tests（6）________hard theory exams﹣for good reason， too． Not only（7）________（be） they traveling at incredible speeds， there is also the added danger of （8）________（full） grown racehorses trampling （踩） on the skis． In addition， the speeding hooves （马蹄） kick up huge amounts of snow and ice （9）________ crash into the legs of the skiers behind．Such unique threats call for unique （10）________（protect）． Drivers are required touse face masks to keep the snow out of their eyes and wear body armor under their ski suits．第四部分写作（共两节）第一节短文改错（满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文．文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处．每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改．增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词．删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉．修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词．注意：1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分．Our School Environment Club organized an activity naming Green Hometown on March 12.0n that special day， our teachers as well as students gathered on the wasteland of the schoolyard when we would plant trees． We planted trees joyfully together， digging holes with tool． With the warmer weather there， everyone enjoyed the happiness of labor and sow seeds of expectations for the future． This tree planting activity provided with a good platform for the communication between teachers and us students． They enabled us to contribute to build a beautiful and green hometown together． At same time， we felt the new concept of contemporary China personal．第二节书面表达（满分25分）假定你是李华，你的新西兰笔友Lessie即将来中国做交换生，来信请你给他推荐几个中文名字．请你给他写一封电子邮件，内容包括：1．表示欢迎并乐于推荐；2．介绍中文名字的特点；3．告知他查看邮箱附件中所建议的名字．注意：1．词数100左右；2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯．邮箱附件E﹣mail attachment。

2019-2020学年河南省平顶山市第一中学高三英语上学期期末考试试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BWhen rescuers were called to rescue a “little owl”, they did not expect to find one that was too fat to fly. A concerned citizen first spotted the poor bird lying helplessly. Even Rufus Samkin, whose team then took the team in on Jan.3, believed the bird to be injured. There were no wounds to be found, however, causing experts to believe the female owl was simply too wet to fly.But it was only after a thorough drying-off and complete checkup that they noted the real issue. The rescuers weighed the owl and concluded that she was “simply extremely obese” and couldn’t take off. This additional weight left her unable to fly, though experts began to wonder how she got so fat in the first place. Because it’s rather unusual for wild birds to reach such a state, they decided to keep her a few weeks and monitor her.In the end, the rescuers assessed that it was simply a case of “natural obesity”. December 2019 was quite warm, which meant that there were many insects for the bird to feast upon. Indeed, the owl was discovered in a field that was “filled with field mice” due to the usual climate. “It’s been very mild here, and the owl is able to find foods easily,” Samkin explained. With the sudden food, “she ly ate much and got very fat. She had a lovely time, but went too far.”The researchers consequently put the owl on a “strict diet” so she could shrink to a more “natural weight”. She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around. In the end, the bird was sent flying gracefully off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight. Hopefully, this owl won’t come upon another feast of field mice—unless she wants another few weeks at the fat camp.4. What did people think happened to the owl at first?A. She was hurt.B. She was trapped.C. She was hungry.D. She was wet.5. Why was the bird unable to fly?A. She needed a thorough checkup.B. She should be given a drying-off.C. She was completed overweight.D. She was simply extremely strong.6. What made the owl have enough foods?A. The especially warm weather.B. The reducing number of insects.C. The rich fields growing crops.D. The lovely time the bird enjoyed.7. How did the owl loseits weight?A. Going on a diet and exercising.B. Flying in the British countryside.C. Visiting that fat camp again.D. Enjoying her wonderful feast freely.CIt’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% said they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely. Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting（晒娃）– the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintendedconsequences further down the line.”8.What’s most pupils’ attitude towards sharing posts about children?A. Skeptical.B. Unconcerned.C. Tolerant.D. Unwilling.9.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Summarize the previous paragraph.B. Provide some advice for parents.C. Predict the consequence of sharing posts.D. Give reasons for the result of the survey.10.What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock?A. Safety.B. Consequence.C. Wisdom.D. Health.11.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Parents should take children’s opinions into account.B. Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.C. Children must make sure to listen to their parents.D. Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.DRecently, I read about a promotion from a home builder in San Diego where consumers (消费者) could buy a 4,000 square foot house for $1.6 million and get a smaller home bythe developer valued at $400 thousand for free. This sounds like a fantastic deal, but I am alwayswary ofany promotion labeled (给……加标签) with“buy one get one free”, and here is why.Oftentimes, “buy one get one free” ends up being “buy two at the regularprice”. For example, I often see “buy one get one free” ads for orange juice at the supermarket, but the first box always costs over $5.00. At the same time, the juices not in the promotion are selling for $2.50 to $2.99 a box.Another problem with “buy one get one free” is that oftentimes you do not need the second item. I only consume one gallon of milk every two weeks. If I were talked into buying a second gallon in a “buy one get one free” promotion, then the second gallon would go bad before I have time to consume it. That creates waste instead of savings.In the case of theSan Diegodeveloper, so far they have received one offer on their expensive houses, but the buyer does not want the cheaper house for free. Instead, he wants the value of the smaller home taken away from his purchase price. I think this guy is quite wise because he saw right through the marketing of “buy one get one free”.Finally, it is up to you to see how much you need and how much you are willing to spend. Knowing the regular price of things also helps you in deciding whether a “buy one get one free” promotion is truly a great deal.12. What does the underlined part “wary of” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. annoyed atB. careful aboutC. familiar withD. puzzled about13. Why does the author mention milk in Paragraph 3?A. To show that there are many promotions of food.B.To suggest that people think twice before they shop.C. To prove that the second item isn’t always as good as the first one.D. To show that people often buy more than they need in the promotion.14. What does the house buyer want to do?A. Buy the smaller house only.B. Get the smaller house for free.C. Buy the larger house for $1.2 million.D. Buy both the larger and smaller houses for $2 million.15. How does the author organize the text?(P: Paragraph)A. B. C. D.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年河南省平顶山市第一中学高三英语期末考试试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ATheatre reflects the values of the civilization out of which it grows. The following are the types of theatre performances an ancient Roman might have witnessed then.Fescennine VerseFescennine Verse was a pioneer of Roman comedy. Ironic and improvisational（即兴的）, it was used mainly at festivals or weddings, and as invective. With early native Italian funny dialogues in Latin verse, it was thought to have combined with a tradition of performances by masked dancers and musicians from Etruria.Fabula AtellanaFabula Atellana relied on common characters, masks, direct humor, and simple plots. They were performed by actors improvising. Fabula Atellana came from the Oscan city of Atella. There were 4 main types of characters: the braggart, the greedy blockhead, the clever hunchback and the stupid old man, like modern Punch and Judy shows.Fabula TogataNamed for the clothing symbolic of the Roman people Fabula Togata had various subtypes. One was the Fabula Tabernaria, named for the tavern（酒馆）where the comedy’s preferred characters, lowlifes, might be found. One describing more middle-class types, and continuing the Roman clothing theme, was the Fabula Trabeata.Fabula PraetextaFabula Praetexta is the name for Roman tragedies on Roman themes, Roman history or current politics. Fabula Praetexta was less popular than tragedies on Greek themes. During the Golden Age of drama in the Middle Republic, there were four great Roman writers of tragedy, Naevius, Ennius, Pacuvius, and Accius. Of their surviving tragedies, 90 titles remain.All the performances above began as a translation of Greek forms, even to the extent of their being performed in Greek costume.1.Where might an ancient Roman witness Fescennine Verse?A.At a party.B.At a funeral.C.At a wedding.D.At a concert.2.Which type of performance describes the middle-class life?A.Fabula Atellana.B.Fabula Tabernaria.C.Fabula Trabeata.D.Fabula Praetexta.3.What do the listed types of performances have in common?A.They copy Latin dramas.B.They take on Greek forms.C.They reflect Roman themes.D.They refer to Italian stories.BImagine that youare a superhero. Your superpowers are activated by a special suit. The suit communicates with your brain. It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought. By concentrating on strength, for example, you can kick a soccer ball across a field. By focusing on swift actions, you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy. To scientists, though, it is a very real goal. They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk. These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same. Unlike other bionic devices, these robotic “super suits” do not communicate with muscles and nerves. Instead, they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005, doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson, who had lost her right arm in an accident. Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex (大脑皮层运动区). Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head. After she recovered, researchers pluggedHutchinson’s receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers. Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers. The computerscould interpretHutchinson’s brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson, the computer, and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup. “She smiled when she put down that drink—that’s everything.” says Donoghue, a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success. One of those scientists is Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who designed a whole-body bionic equipment. In 2014, a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguel’s full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the man’s cap. By thinking about kicking, he sent signals to a computer on his back. The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick. Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.4.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A. Narrative and serious.B. Persuasive and critical.C. Informative and objective.D. Descriptive and imaginative.5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Reason of the experiment.B. Results of the experiment.C. Process of the experiment.D. Significance of the experiment.6. Why is Dr. Miguel’s exoskeleton special?A. It can be used on animals.B. It can move the whole body.C. It was supported by computers.D. It was connected directly to the brain.7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B. Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinson’s bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D. Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.CRecently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still meana lot. My brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to gel supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully.Immediately, I was grateful that I had done that___4___It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle's Registration fees. I put myself in his or her shoes and thought: no one would throw this away. I looked over the receipt for any personal data, perhaps a license plate (车牌) or telephone number, but failed. How could I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid and the name of the owner, who must live in our town. I decided that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.By the end of the week, I received a beautiful “thank you” letter from a woman including a handwrittenmessage and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind took her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that seemed little and unimportant.8. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A. He was lucky to learn the lesson.B. It was a good idea to do shopping that day.C. He was right to pick up the paper.D. It turned out the paper belonged to the writer.9. What information did the writer get from the paper?A The woman's license plate number.B. The woman's phone number.C. The woman's name.D. The woman's address.10. How did the woman lose the receipt?A. She forgot where she had put it.B. A strong wind blew it away.C. It fell onto the floor.D. She left it in the parking lot.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Lesson I Will Never ForgetB. Never Lose Heart or Give upC. Little Things Still Mean a LotD. Think Carefully Before You ActDLast summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn’t have Wi-Fi. I wasn’t looking forward to it.I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think , though , how unnecessary it can be , how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhapsrely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.12. What was the writer’s first feeling when finding her house had no Wi-Fi?A. Unexpected.B. Angry.C. Shocked.D. Depressed.13. How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi-Fi?A. By writing regularly.B. By text message.C. By video calls.D. By telegram.14. What was the writer’s life like without Wi-Fi?A. Dull.B. Lonely.C. Active.D. Relaxing.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A life without Wi-FiB. Different views on the InternetC. The disadvantages of Wi-FiD. How to use the Internet第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.4. Why may problems with friendships appear?A. One is selfish.B. One is alone.C. One is too anxious.D. One is too busy.5. What's the first and most important thing to be other people's friend?A. Not to hurt your friends' feelings.B. To give your friends whatever you have.C. To treat your friends as fairly as possible.D. Not to think of your own needs any more.6. What is the text mainly about?A. The Meaning of FriendshipsB. The Importance of FriendshipsC. The Advantages of FriendshipsD. The Problems with Friendships7. What may follow the last paragraph of the text?A. How to make many friends.B. How to keep friends happy.C. How to treat friends correctly.D. How to solve friendship issues.CA student had to get his long hair cut off in a middle school in GuangDong Province. It was talked a lot among teachers and students.In fact, all schools have their own rules. In most schools, boy students are not allowed to have long hair while girls are not allowed to dye their hair. And most school rules say that students should wear their school uniforms at school. And students must obey these rules so that they can get healthy development at school.But some students have disagreements. They think that boy students having long hair doesn't mean that they are not good students. They want to show their own personality. They think that they would look cool too if they had long hair and the hairstyles like their favorite stars.A girl student thought that she would look much more beautiful if she had brown hair. So she had her dark hair dyed brown one day. When she went back to school the next day, the teacher was very angry with her. She said that she worked hard at her lessons and did well in every subject. She just didn't know why the teacher didn't allow her to dye her hair while women teachers can.It is not wrong for teenagers to love stars' hairstyles or wear their favorite clothes. However, a school has its own rules for all the students to obey so that the school can be in good order. Students should not break the rules at school.8. What aren't boy students allowed to do in most middle schools according to this passage?A. To have long hair.B. To wear uniforms.C. To like famous stars.D. To show their own personalities.9. Why did the girl make her hair brown?A. Because she wanted to be cool.B. Because she thought that she would look much more beautiful.C.

It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene（干预）if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees （针叶树）produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at theUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.12. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A. Lack of wood supplies.B. Where to plant new trees best.C. How to save the burned trees.D. Loss of trees and wild animals.13. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The function of the tool.B. The disadvantages of the tool.C. The improvement of the tool.D. The development of the tool.14. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.15. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年河南省平顶山市第一中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding, It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you seesomeone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also prettycontagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you arc mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.1. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Powerful to show one's feelings.B. Affecting each other.C. Attractive to the others.D. Being gentle to people around.2. When copying others, body language, one usually can ______.A. send wrong messagesB. hide true feelingsC. avoid misunderstandingD. win others, acceptance3. What might happen if you try to mirror your boss's body language?A. You will appear very attractive.B. It will help to soften his position.C. You will seem unacceptably proud.D. It willbe a good way to build trust.BAt first glance, there is nothing unusual about BingoBox’s convenience store–shelves packed with snacks line the walls, attracting passers-by through the glass windows. But upon closer look, BingoBox is no ordinary store. The door unlocks only after customers scan (扫描) aQR code to enter, and there is no cashier — just a lone checkout counter (柜台) in a corner. The Shanghai-based company is one of many unmanned store operators (运营者) opening outlets all over China, hoping to improve slim profit by reducing staff costs.“Ifstaff costs rise quickly, that puts greater pressure on low-profit businesses like convenience stores and supermarkets,” said Andrew Song, an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities. “InChina, manpower costs have been rising ly quickly.”However, the future vision of shopping without a check-out person is still a work in progress. A Post reporter who visited a BingoBox store inShanghaiwas briefly locked in when trying to exit without buying anything. Although a sign near the exit stated that empty-handed customers can leave by scanning a QR code, no QR code was to be found. Repeated calls to the customer service hotline went unanswered.The idea of unmanned stores first caught the world’s attention in December last year. Equipped with technology such as RFID tags, mobile payment systems and facial and movement recognition, such stores collect large amounts of data that give operators a better idea of consumer preferences and buying habits, which can then be used to optimize (使最优化) operations and make more efficient inventory decisions. For companies like BingoBox, lower operating costs also mean it can afford to expand its reach to areas with less foot traffic or fewer people, according to its founder and chief executive ChenZilin.4. What makes BingoBox store look like an ordinary convenience store?A. No cashier to check out.B. A lone checkout counter.C. Shelves packed with goods.D. Entering by scanning a QR code.5. Why are unmanned stores popular with operators?A. The customers prefer mobile payment systems.B. The unmanned stores help improve profit with lower labor costs.C. The employees focus on consumer preferences and buying habits.D. The operators care more about operations and inventory decisions.6. Why is the reporter’s case mentioned in the passage?A. To show his anger and dissatisfaction.B. To warn people not to go to a BingoBox store.C. To explain unmanned stores still have a long way to go.D. To complain that QR code service is not convenient at all..7. What can we infer from the chief executive Chen Zilin?A. Nowadays all stores should be equipped with advanced technology.B. The operators collect data about consumer preferences and buying habits.C. BingoBox made wiser decisions based on the data collected in those unmanned stores.D. The operators can open unmanned supermarkets in more distant places with low cost.CLearning to say “yes, and”When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However,I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable andeven started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end upidentifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth findingout whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support a preconceived (先入为主的) story, but to say “yes, and.”8. Why did the author attend the improvisation class?A. To get a different experience.B. To finish her Ph.D. at university.C. To give up her job as a science communicator.D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.9. What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class?A. She formed her own idea quickly.B. She came up with lots of creative responses.C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.10. The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ______.A. explain the process of using the methodB. prove the benefits of the improvisation classC. share her own research experiences with readersD. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class11. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?A. They should attend the improvisation class.B. They should question all preconceived ideas.C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.D. They should try to improve their professional knowledge.DFirst grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32­year­old Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at hisschool to help them understand the condition.In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”12. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome?A. It can be treated with drugs.B. It is usually found at an early age.C. People with it will say dirty words.D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.13. Because of the disease, others often _________.A. take pity on GavinB. give a hand to GavinC. keep away from GavinD. look down upon Gavin14. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________.A. explains her brother’s diseaseB. expresses her love for her brotherC. complains about unkind commentsD. encourages others to donate money15. What can be used to best describe Gavin?A. Lucky.B. Helpless.C. Optimistic.D. Stubborn.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Every year in May, art galleries and museums often prepare shows to honor the life and works of he artist they call Leonardo, who died in France on May 2． 1519． He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and creative thinkers of all time． Among his most famous paintings are The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper．Recently, researchers have been studying what they think is da Vinci's earliest﹣known artwork． They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images, not one, One drawing was on the back of the piece, which is dated on August5, 1473．The drawing on the front, made when Leonardo was 21 years old, shows a river valleyand a castle outside the city of Florence． There is little left of the drawing on theback, perhaps because it was rubbed off． Only a bridge over a river can be seen． But there is writing on both sides．The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left． Some people would call this "mirror﹣writing "． Leonardo often wrote this way in his notebooks． On the back, the handwriting goes from left to right, and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art．Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian． She said． Leonardo was born left﹣handed． but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age． By looking at his writings, including from this drawing, one can see his right﹣handed calligraphy is educated and well done．"Experts compared the two handwriting samples and said they were both by Leonardo． They show he could write well using both his left hand and his right hand．The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art catalogue． It will be part of an exhibit at Italy 's Uffizi Gallery． The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers give us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing technique and his abilities in writing．（1）Which of the following is studied by researchers？________A The Mona Lisa．B The Last Supper．C Mirror﹣writingD Landscape 8P．（2）What can we know about Leonardo from the text？________A He can only write with his left handB He can only write with his right handC He can write well with either of his handsD He was born with an undeveloped left hand．（3）How can Leonardo write in his notebooks？________A His handwriting goes from right to left．B His handwriting goes from left toright C His handwriting goes from bottom to top D His handwriting goes from top to bottom．（4）What's Eike Schmidt s attitude towards researchers？________A Vague．B PositiveC DoubtfulD Indifferent．4. Don't let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space． Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area ﹣think of a star ten times bigger than the sun squeezed into a ball approximately the diameter（直径）of New York City． The result produces such a strong gravitational field that nothing, not even light, can escape． In recent years, NASA instruments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects I space．The idea of an object in space so massive and dense（密度大的） that light could not escape it has been around for centuries． Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, the center of the star falls in upon itself, or falls apart． When this happens, it explodes part of the star into space and leaves behind a small core with its great density． If the core's mass is more than about three times the mass of the sun, then the force of gravity is greater than all other forces and produces a black hole．Scientists can't directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect （探测）x﹣rays, light, or other forms of radiation． We can, however, infer the presence of black holesand study them by detecting their influence on other matter nearby． If a black hole passes through a cloud of matter, for example, it will draw matter inside in a process known as addition． A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole． In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it towards itself． As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it gives off x﹣rays that radiate into space． Recent discoveries offer some evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them﹣giving off powerful gamma ray bursts, swallowing nearby stars, and accelerating the growth of new stars in some areas while postponing it in others．（1）Why does a black hole have such a powerful gravity？________A Its area is smallB It is empty spaceC Its density is greatD It contains much light．（2）How many stages are there from a massive star to a black hole？________A TwoB ThreeC FourD Five．．（3）How do scientists research black holes？________A By studying matter nearby themB By observing them with telescopesC By collecting some light from them．D By receiving powerful gamma ray bursts．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？________A The Birth of a Black HoleB The First Picture of a Black HoleC Some Unknown Secrets of Black HolesD A New Scientific Discovery： Black Holes．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.

河南省平顶山一中2019-2020学年高三开学检测（线上)英语试题第I卷（选择题)一、阅读理解August is one of the most popular months to travel for Chinese. Choosing the perfect destination for an August vacation isn't easy. We looked at airfare trends, climate data, and cultural calendars to select 4 vacation spots that are some of the best places to visit this August.Mackinac Island, MichiganVisitors can enjoy the sunny weather while boating, fishing, and sailing. On land, you can hop between historic sites like Fort Mackinac and Fort Holmes, both key sites in the War of 1812.And sweet teeth will have something to celebrate too: the Fudge（软糖）Festival, which takes place every August and allows the many fudge shops on the island to show off their best work.Martha's Vineyard, MassachusettsMartha's Vineyard is praised as one of the most classic summer getaways in the United States.The charming island south of Cape Cod is dotted with simple and elegant New England homes, relaxing sandy beaches. The sunny summer weather in August sets the perfect stage for a boat outing or a shopping trip to the town's shops of all kinds.Krakow, PolandKrakow, Poland, is the perfect mixture of history and nightlife.Tourist favorites in Krakow include Wawel Cathedral, St. Mary's Basilica, and the Schindler's Factory museum, each of which gives a glance into Poland's religious and political history. After the sun sets, enjoy Krakow's world——famous bar and restaurant scene, and don't forget to pop into a cafe for a late-night snack.Maasai Mara National Reserve, KenyaEvery year, one of the grandest wonders in nature is performed here—the GreatMigration.The annual migration sees more than 2 million wildebeest(羚羊), zebras make the dangerous journey across the Serengeti in search of greener fields. Along the way, predators(食肉动物) such as lions and crocodiles lie in wait for the incoming foods, providing tense scene for brave sightseers and nature lovers.1．What do you enjoy when you go to Krakow?A．Boating. B．Bars and restaurants.C．The Fudge Festival. D．The Great Migration.2．If you are a nature lover, which place do you prefer to travel?A．Mackinac Island. B．Martha's Vineyard.C．Krakow. D．Maasai Mara National Reserve. 3．What do these four tourist destinations have in common?A．They are some of the best places to visit this August for Chinese.B．The total cost of going to these places is roughly the same.C．They all have historical scenes to visit.D．They are all the favorite seaside of tourists.There has been a lot of publicity recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology for the world. But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. 4G was the replacement for 3G, which came after 2G, and so on. Earlier "G" systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity（容量）. The new 5G system promises more of the same. However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different than the earlier systems. It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other "G" versions.Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future "smart cities" by connecting sensor （传感器）networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality. Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.Every coin has two sides. Much of the data could contain private details about individuals, businesses or government organizations. The increased data flow would give internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity. 4．What is the significant difference between 5G and the early “G” systems?A．It will affect more devices and industries.B．It will change the way people communicate.C．It will reform the pattern of information system.D．It will improve internet speed and network capacity.5．What can we learn about "smart cities" from the passage?A．Smart city is a city full of intelligent people.B．Now many smart cities have been built all over the world.C．As long as there is a wireless network, you can build a smart city.D．The development of 5G accelerates the construction of smart cities.6．Why can 5G allow doctors to perform long-range medical operations?A．Because of the low cost of 5G.B．Because of the wide range of 5G.C．Because of the high speed of 5G.D．Because of the ability of 5G to collect information.7．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Possible risks of 5G technology.B．The advantages of 5G technology.C．The influence of 5G technology on the world.D．The importance of information security in the 5G era.HEMLOCK, MI --When classes resume at Hemlock's K.C．Ling Elementary School next week, the students will have a brand new playground complete with gaga ballpit(坑), Boogie Board, slides and more.About 50 volunteers worked together to build the new playground Sunday, Aug. 19. The "community build" was the culmination of nearly a year of fundraising, said Sarah Baird, a parent and chairwoman of the playground committee."It felt amazing yesterday to see everybody come together," Baird said Monday. "It will be all set and ready for them for their first day of school."The school year begins Aug. 27. A ribbon-cutting(剪彩) ceremony and open house are planned for Wednesday, Aug. 22.K.C．Ling houses the district's first- through fourth-graders. Hemlock Elementary School, the district's other elementary school, offers preschool, young fives and kindergarten.Baird said the former playground equipment at K.C．Ling Elementary was 30 years old, unsafe and beginning to rust(生锈). A few years ago, the Richland Township Fire Department gave the parent-teacher organization $2,500 to build a new playground. The equipment they originally wanted would have cost $100,000."We formed a committee and we started doing some fundraising," Baird said. "I did some things and we really tried to do something with the playground."In the end, with the support of the community, Hemlock Semiconductor, Saginaw Community Foundation, Morley Family Foundation, Dow Corning Foundation and other donors, the group raised $70,000."It felt amazing yesterday to see everybody come together," Baird said of the community build. "(We had) huge support from the community and we're very thankful."8．What does the underlined word " culmination " in paragraph 2 refer to？A．Flag. B．Key.C．Name. D．Result.9．What difficulty did they meet when a new playground needs rebuilding?A．There is not enough money to build the playground.B．There is not enough space to build the playground.C．There is no support for doing it.D．There is no time to do it.10．What do we know from the passage?A．The day of the school's start is Monday.B．The first grade goes to school in K.C．Ling.C．K.C．Ling Elementary has a history of 30 years.D．Most of the playground construction fund is provided by Richland Township Fire Department.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？A．Entertainment. B．Health.C．Education. D．Science.Electric vehicle sales will likely jump over the next two to three years as prices fall and more choices are made available, according to BlackRock’s global head of department investing.Customers will have more opportunities to move away from traditional combustion engines(内燃机) to electric vehicles and their choices will not be restricted to only certain auto suppliers, Evy Hambro told CNBC’s “Squawk Box ” on Thursday.“I think we’re at this tipping point of change,” Hambro said. “Over the next two years, we’re going to see price point of entry(入口) drop . We’re expecting to see a big lift in electric vehicle sales over the next two to three years.”Different countries are at various stages of adopting electric vehicles, depending on regulatory environments and consumer preferences, according to Hambro. For its part, China is leading the way in many new business models around automation and electric vehicles, including in battery technology, he said.In a bid to curb(遏制) air pollution, Beijing has aggressively pushed for new energy vehicles — that run partially or fully on electricity — through preferential policies, providing subsidies and by exercising its manufacturing(制造) power. It is also exploring autonomous driving technology.On Wednesday, American chipmaker Nvidia signed separate deals with Chinese electric vehicle start-ups XPeng Motors, Singulato Motors and SF Motors to develop the self-driving technology, despite the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.“We’re seeing China increasingly open up to international business,” Hambro said.“We’re now seeing high levels of ownership, majority ownership in some industries. We’re seeing licenses being given out to specific groups ... I think really we’re seeing some change there, maybe some of these trade tensions are starting to soften.” BMW also said Wednesday that it has obtained a license to provide ride-hailing services in the Chinese city of Chengdu, making the German automaker the first foreign company to do so in China. It will face heavy competition from local players including Didi Chuxing and Meituan Dache.12．How will electric vehicle develop in the next two or three years?A．Decline in sales. B．Price fall.C．Decline in ownership. D．Reduction in suppliers.13．Why does Beijing actively promote the use of new energy vehicles?A．To get high profits. B．For transport development.C．To protect the environment. D．For the development of the city. 14．How does the author introduce the increasing openness of China in the last Paragraph ？A．By making a comparison. B．By giving an example.C．By telling a story. D．By asking questions.15．What is the best title for the text?A．New Development Trend of Electric Vehicles in ChinaB．Electric Vehicle Technology Looks Forward to New Progress.C．New Trends of International Electric Vehicle Trade.D．Electric Vehicle Sales to ‘See a Big Lift’ Over the Next 2 to 3 Years.二、完形填空Susan Boyle spent her early life faithfully attending her 16 Catholic church, taking singing lessons and performing in small karaoke venues, and 17 her aging mother, whom she promised that she would someday enter a 18 contest.

And then, as if the world stopped for just a moment, she caught the audience and 21 the judges as she sang “I Dreamed a Dream.” Her 22 swiftly became reality as tens of millions of viewers around the world became acquainted with her 23 performance, via the live broadcast and a 24 popular online videoWho was she, where did she come from, and the most often heard question—where has she been?! Boyle never sought stardom. Over the years, she had quietly 25 her dreams from the small village of Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland, 26 just a bit of local reputation by performing at church and community events. As a child, she 27 with learning differences and, she reports, was bullied(欺侮) in school.By the end of 2009, 28 , the world was very aware of Boyle. After she came insecond on Britains Got Talent, her first 29 , released(发行) in November 2009, became the 30 album of all time in the UK. Her following albums have been extremely 31 as well. She has toured widely, collaborated(合作) with household names, and 32 before the Queen of England.In addition to showing her great 33 , Susan Boyle has been an inspiration to many.

You may hear it from a parent, a friend, in your place of worship, on tv or in a book.36．You may use the word love about a song, a food or your family pet. You may tell family members you love them. As you can see, there are many kinds of love! But not all kinds of love are created equal.So what does love mean to you?37．Love gives life meaning and purpose. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Where there is love there is life.” In the dictionary, love is defined as a strong, positive feeling you have for someone or something. 38．People show their love not just with what they say or feel, but by what they do.At it’s core, love is about being kind and doing good things for others. A famous verse from the bible describes how love is more than just a feeling, but the way you act and treat others. “39．It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”40．This allows us to love others no matter what. Showing love allows us to put the needs of others before our own.So what are some ways that you could show love? It could be as simple as volunteering at a local soup kitchen. Maybe telling those we love how important they are! Consistently showing love will build a habit and fulfill you as well.A．Love is patient, love is kind.B．But it is also a lot more than that.C．And what kind of love is most important?D．You may even say the word love a lot yourself!E.So what are some ways that you could show love?F.Before we can show love though, we must first love ourselves.G.Consistently showing love will build a habit and fulfill you as well.四、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式Amazon exposed some customers’ names and emails due to a “41．(technique) error,” according to emails the company sent to 42．(affect) customers.

They are directed by Chinese directors.BAs a basic food in the Asian diet，soybeans（大豆）have been used to make tofu and soy milk for hundreds of years．But now，they are also being turned into an alternative to plastic wrap．William Chen，a professor of foodscience and technology at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University，invented the environmentally﹣friendly food wrap．It's made of cellulose（纤维素），a form of fiber，obtained from the waste generated by soy bean product producers．The beans are pressed tosqueeze out juice that's used to make tofu and soy milk．And what's left is usually thrown away，but Chen takes the waste and puts it through a fermentation（发酵）process，during which cellulose is produced．Cellulose﹣based plastic wraps have been on the market for a few years，but Chen says that most are made from wood or corn，grown for that purpose．By contrast，his wrap is made from a waste product，which doesn't compete with other crops for land and is more sustainable．Chen's technology could help to solve two problems at once：cutting plastic production and reducing the amount of food waste．"In Singapore，the amount of food waste generated every year could fill up 15，000 Olympic﹣sized swimming pools，" Chen says．F&N，a soy﹣based drinks producer，has partnered with Chen's lab and provides the product，straight from the factory．The company is conducting a study to assess whether the food wrap could complete commercially with conventional products．Chen adds，"The soy﹣based wrap costs almost nothing to makein the lab becausethe raw materials are free．Commercial production would involve additional expenses，such as storage and quality control，however，we have not calculated those costs yet．"Chen hopes neighboring soy﹣loving countries will be inspired bySingapore to adopt his innovation．"My dream is that our technology，which is cheap and simple，will cut plastic and food waste and create a cleaner environment，" Chen says．4. What is the second paragraph mainly about？A. The introduction to William Chen．B. The process of producing soy milk．C. The way to make soy﹣based wrap．D. The benefit of eating soy products．5. What's the biggest difference of Chen's wrap from other cellulose﹣based plastic wraps？A. It saves land for industry．B. It's more easilybroken down．C. It is made from the food waste．D. It has been put into practice for many years．6. What will commercial production of the food wrap cause？A. A lack of competitiveness．B. Poor quality of the wraps．C. A shortage of raw material．D. An increase in production costs．7. From which is the text probably taken？A. A personal diary．B. A travel guide．C. A book review．D. A scientific magazine．CThere are similarities and differences between high school life and college life.For one thing, there are several similarities between high school life and collegelife. First, the most important task in high school and college is both studying. Studying is the most important as a student. Second, we need a goal to fight for in both high school life and college life. To lead a meaningful life, we have to set up a goal toachieve.For another, there are also some differences between high school life and college life. First, our studying is also the biggest difference. In high school, we are required to follow our teachers' steps and finish theirassignmentsevery day. While in college, there are no teachers giving such detailed requirements to us and we can choose study or not according to our own willing. What and how to study totally depends on us. Therefore, the ability of self-control is very important in college life. Second, the flexibility (灵活性) of time is another difference. In high school, we have no much leisure except for our time of study. However, in college, we have much controlled by ourselves except the time of classes. And we have more time to do what we like. Finally, college lifeis much more various and richer. Besides study, we can attend many other activities, which make our college life more wonderful.In brief, there are both similarities and differences between high school life and college life. However, no matter we are in which period, we need to make full use of every day so that we will never feel regretful.8. Why do students need a goal to fight in high school and college?A. To enter a good college.B. To avoid living a meaningless life.C. To develop the ability of control.D. To meet their parents’ satisfaction.9. What does the underlined word “assignments” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Projects.B. Tasks.C. Goals.D. Dreams.10. Which is the correct structure of the passage?A. ①-②③-④B. ①②-③-④C. ①-②③④D.①②-③④11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. College LifeB. High School LifeC. High School and CollegeD. High School Life and College LifeDEven as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains abit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions ofpeople,” said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google’s headquarters inMountain View,California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype (雏形) is the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can’t drive because of age or illness.Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don’t own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, includingDelphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.12. According to Chris Urmson, __________.A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humansB. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderlyC. software and sensors are vital for self-driving carsD. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars13. Paragraph 4 is meant to tell us that __________.A. many traffic accidents are caused by human errorB. some people can’t drive because of illness or ageC. Urmson has promised to create safer roads in the futureD. self-driving cars will probably help to make safer roads and decrease traffic jams14. The underlined word “issued” in the last paragraph can probably bereplaced by__________.A. givenB. claimedC. awardedD. prohibited15. What’s the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars?A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Subjective.D. Favorable.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ＡAugust is one of the most popular months to travel for Chinese. Choosing the perfect destination for an August vacation isn't easy. We looked at airfare trends, climate data, and cultural calendars to select 4 vacation spots that are some of the best places to visit this August.Mackinac Island, MichiganVisitors can enjoy the sunny weather while boating, fishing, and sailing. On land, you can hop between historic sites like Fort Mackinac and Fort Holmes, both key sites in the War of 1812.And sweet teeth will have something to celebrate too: the Fudge（软糖）Festival, which takes place every August and allows the many fudge shops on the island to show off their best work.Martha's Vineyard, MassachusettsMartha's Vineyard is praised as one of the most classic summer getaways in the United States.The charming island south of Cape Cod is dotted with simple and elegant New England homes, relaxing sandy beaches. The sunny summer weather in August sets the perfect stage for a boat outing or a shopping trip to the town's shops of all kinds.Krakow, PolandKrakow, Poland, is the perfect mixture of history and nightlife.Tourist favorites in Krakow include Wawel Cathedral, St. Mary's Basilica, and the Schindler's Factory museum, each of which gives a glance into Poland's religious and political history. After the sun sets, enjoy Krakow's world——famous bar and restaurant scene, and don't forget to pop into a cafe for a late-night snack.Maasai Mara National Reserve, KenyaEvery year, one of the grandest wonders in nature is performed here—the Great Migration.The annual migration sees more than 2 million wildebeest(羚羊), zebras make the dangerous journey across the Serengeti in search of greener fields. Along the way, predators(食肉动物) such as lions and crocodiles lie in wait for the incoming foods, providing tense scene for brave sightseers and nature lovers.21.What do you enjoy when you go to Krakow?A. Boating.B. Bars and restaurants.C. The Fudge Festival.D. The Great Migration.22. If you are a nature lover, which place do you prefer to travel?A. Mackinac Island.B. Martha's Vineyard.C. Krakow.D. Maasai Mara National Reserve.23.What do these four tourist destinations have in common?A. They are some of the best places to visit this August for Chinese.B. The total cost of going to these places is roughly the same.C. They all have historical scenes to visit.D. They are all the favorite seaside of tourists.BThere has been a lot of publicity recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology for the world. But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. 4G was the replacement for 3G, which came after 2G, and so on. Earlier "G" systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity（容量）. The new 5G system promises more of the same. However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different than the earlier systems. It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other "G" versions.Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future "smart cities" by connecting sensor（传感器） networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality. Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.Every coin has two sides. Much of the data could contain private details about individuals, businesses or government organizations. The increased data flow would give internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity.24. What is the significant difference between 5G and t he early “G” systems?A. It will affect more devices and industries.B. It will change the way people communicate.C. It will reform the pattern of information system.D. It will improve internet speed and network capacity.25.What can we learn about "smart cities" from the passage?A. Smart city is a city full of intelligent people.B. Now many smart cities have been built all over the world.C. As long as there is a wireless network, you can build a smart city.D. The development of 5G accelerates the construction of smart cities.26.Why can 5G allow doctors to perform long-range medical operations?A. Because of the low cost of 5G.B. Because of the wide range of 5G.C. Because of the high speed of 5G.D. Because of the ability of 5G to collect information.27.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Possible risks of 5G technology.B. The advantages of 5G technology.C. The influence of 5G technology on the world.D. The importance of information security in the 5G era.CHEMLOCK, MI --When classes resume at Hemlock's K.C. Ling Elementary School next week, the students will have a brand new playground complete with gaga ball pit(坑), Boogie Board, slides and more.About 50 volunteers worked together to build the new playground Sunday, Aug. 19. The "community build" was the culmination of nearly a year of fundraising, said Sarah Baird, a parent and chairwoman of the playground committee."It felt amazing yesterday to see everybody come together," Baird said Monday. "It will be all set and ready for them for their first day of school."The school year begins Aug. 27. A ribbon-cutting(剪彩) ceremony and open house are planned for Wednesday, Aug. 22.K.C. Ling houses the district's first- through fourth-graders. Hemlock Elementary School, the district's other elementary school, offers preschool, young fives and kindergarten.Baird said the former playground equipment at K.C. Ling Elementary was 30 years old, unsafe and beginning to rust(生锈). A few years ago, the Richland Township Fire Department gave the parent-teacher organization $2,500 to build a new playground. The equipment they originally wanted would have cost $100,000."We formed a committee and we started doing some fundraising," Baird said. "I did some things and we really tried to do something with the playground."In the end, with the support of the community, Hemlock Semiconductor, Saginaw Community Foundation, Morley Family Foundation, Dow Corning Foundation and other donors, the group raised $70,000."It felt amazing yesterday to see everybody come together," Baird said of the community build. "(We had) huge support from the community and we're very thankful."28. What does the underlined word " culmination " in paragraph 2 refer to？A. Flag.B. Key.C. Name.D. Result.29.What difficulty did they meet when a new playground needs rebuilding?A. There is not enough money to build the playground.B. There is not enough space to build the playground.C. There is no support for doing it.D. There is no time to do it.30. What do we know from the passage?A. The day of the school's start is Monday.B. The first grade goes to school in K.C.Ling.C. K.C. Ling Elementary has a history of 30 years.D. Most of the playground construction fund is provided by Richland Township Fire Department.31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Science.DElectric vehicle sales will likely jump over the next two to three years as prices fall and more choices are made a vailable, according to BlackRock’s global head of department investing.Customers will have more opportunities to move away from traditional combustion engines(内燃机) to electric vehicles and their choices will not be restricted to only certain auto supplier s, Evy Hambro told CNBC’s“Squawk Box ” on Thursday.“I think we’re at this tipping point of change,” Hambro said. “Over the next two years, we’re going to see price point of entry(入口) drop . We’re expecting to see a big lift in electric vehicle sales over the next two to three years.”Different countries are at various stages of adopting electric vehicles, depending on regulatory environments and consumer preferences, according to Hambro. For its part, China is leading the way in many new business models around automation and electric vehicles, including in battery technology, he said.In a bid to curb(遏制) air pollution, Beijing has aggressively pushed for new energy vehicles —that run partially or fully on electricity —through preferential policies, providing subsidies and by exercising its manufacturing(制造) power. It is also exploring autonomous driving technology.On Wednesday, American chipmaker Nvidia signed separate deals with Chinese electric vehicle start-ups XPeng Motors, Singulato Motors and SF Motors to develop the self-driving technology, despite the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.“We’re seeing China increasingly open up to international business,” Hambro said. “We’re now seeing high levels of ownership, majority ownership in some industries. We’re seeing licenses being given out to specific groups ... I t hink really we’re seeing some change there, maybe some of these trade tensions are starting to soften.” BMW also said Wednesday that it has obtained a license to provide ride-hailing services in the Chinese city of Chengdu, making the German automaker the first foreign company to do so in China. It will face heavy competition from local players including Didi Chuxing and Meituan Dache.32. How will electric vehicle develop in the next two or three years?A. Decline in sales.B. Price fall.C. Decline in ownership.D. Reduction in suppliers.33. Why does Beijing actively promote the use of new energy vehicles?A. To get high profits.B. For transport development.C. To protect the environment.D. For the development of the city.34. How does the author introduce the increasing openness of China in the last Paragraph ？A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By telling a story.D. By asking questions.35. What is the best title for the text?A. New Development Trend of Electric Vehicles in ChinaB. Electric Vehicle Technology Looks Forward to New Progress.C. New Trends of International Electric Vehicle Trade.D. Electric Vehicle S ales to ‘See a Big L ift’ Over the Next 2 to 3 Years.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。

They say these defects result from epigenetic changes that can potentially affect multiple generations.The study, published in theAmerican Journal of Stem Cells, suggest both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring — a common sense conclusion which science is only now beginning to demonstrate, says the study's senior investigator, Joanna Kitlinska, PhD, an associate professor in biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology.“We know the nutritional, hormonal and psychological environment provided by the mother permanently influences organ structure, cellular response and gene expression in her offspring,” she says.“But our study shows the same thing to be true with fathers — his lifestyle, and how old he is, can be reflected in molecules that control gene function,” she says. “In this way, a father can affect not only his immediate offspring, but future generations as well.”For example, a newborn can be diagnosed with fetal (胎儿的) alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), even though the mother has never consumed alcohol, Kitlinska says. “Up to 75 percent of children with FASD have biological fathers who are alcoholics, suggesting that preconceptual paternal alcohol consumption negatively impacts their offspring.”Advanced age of a father is correlated with elevated rates of certain diseases, and birth defects in his children.A limited diet during a father’s preadolescence has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular death in his children and grandchildren. Paternal obesity is linked to enlarged fat cells, changes in metabolic regulation, diabetes, obesity and development of brain cancer. Psychosocial stress on the father is linked to defective behavioral traits in his offspring. And paternal alcohol use leads to decreased newborn birth weight, marked reduction in overall brain size and impaired cognitive function.“This new field of inherited paternal epigenetics needs to be organized into clinically applicable recommendations and lifestyle alternations,” Kitlinska says. “And to really understand the epigenetic influences of a child, we need to study the interplay between maternal and paternal effects, as opposed to considering each in isolation.”4. What’s the message the writer conveys in the passage?A. Both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring.B. Father’s age and lifestyle are tied to birth defects.C. Father plays a more critical role in birth defects.D. Birth defects can potentially affect multiple generations.5. What can we infer from the example in Paragraph 5?A. FASD can only be diagnosed in a newborn whose father is addicted to alcohol.B. A newborn will not contract FASD if his mother has never consumed alcohol.C. A father’s lifestyle can negatively impact his offspring.D. Most children have biological fathers who are alcoholics.6. Which of the following situations is less likely to lead to children’s birth defects?A. Having a father with a limited diet.B. Having a father who is an alcoholic.C. Having an overweight father.D. Having a father with psychosocial stress.7. What will the research probably continue to focus on in the part that follows?A. The maternal epigenetic influences of a child.B. The ways to avoid negative paternal influence on children.C. The clinical application of the research findings.D. The interaction between maternal and paternal effects.CBabies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at theage of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to new research.In the study, researchers looked at 11-and 12-month-od babies' vocalisations. gestures and gaze behaviours ,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions ,the researchers videoed infants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the universityThe scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words."The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort; noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development." said McGillion, a co-author of the work."The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context... across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when you're doing the laundry,for example—when you're taking out the socks, you can talk about socks...in the park, in the car, at mealtimes,at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,"added McGillion."This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life, but children are constantly growing and changing and so are their behaviours. It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there,"said Donnellan,the lead author on the study.8. How did the researchers get the findings?A. By interacting with babies.B. By asking babies to vocalize.C. By analyzing relevant recordings.D. By referring to the previous statistics.9. What does he underlined word "it"in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Infants' eye contact.B. Infants' larger vocabulary.C. The response from caregivers.D. The best predictor of vocabulary.10. What did McGilion say about infants' interactive behaviour?A. I's easy to perform.B. It's complex to understand.C. It's difficult to copy.D. It's interesting to video.11. What might further studies be on?A. Children's academic progress.B. Children's growing environment.C. Children's potential physical development.D. Children's behaviours across more age ranges.DBrown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms（蚕）do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce pre-dyed silk-silk that comes color1 ed, straight from the source-the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry（桑树）leaves that had been sprayed（喷洒）with fabric（织物）dyes（染色剂）. Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.And yes, the worms themselves take on some color1 before they produce silk. Their color1 ful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journalACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because color1 ing fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others color1 ed the worms and their silk but the color1 disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named "direct acid fast red", showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.12. The text is most probably a(n) ________.A. science reportB. tourist guideC. animal experimentD. fashion advertisement13. Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________.A. they are born pinkB. they are dyed pinkC. they grow in pink waterD. they are fed dyed food14. Where is the experiment carried out?A. In America.B. In India.C. In Israel.D. In China.15. How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?A. One.B. Three.C. Five.D. Seven.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
