When I left Calgary, I wondered what I would find, what I would learn and who I would meet. On the trip to Ottawa I was wrapped in a blanket of uncertainty and excitement. But when I first met the group of students. Scientists and leaders. I knew that I didn’t have anything to worry about. The group was amazingly receptive and I was soon part of a b ig family setting out on an amazing adventure—an adventure of a lifetime!When we reached the Arctic, I saw a vast land that a ppeared untouched a nd original.I was surprised by its great size and beauty and my senses were repeatedly shocked and amazed. I stood on the Kapitan Khlebnikov and saw twelve polar bears. They walked in search of seal holes and patiently waited for a meal. I learned that polar bears are successful only one out of every twenty hunting attempts.However, I learned that the Arctic and its people are being threatened by pollution and global warming. I learned that p ollutants are carried b y ocean and air and have a bad effect on all Arctic people. I learned that global warming has put polar bears at risk because a warmer climate means that they have a shorter time to hunt seals on the ice. The trip was a feast (盛宴) for the senses. I have learned more about our environment and particularly how alive and interesting the Arctic is and why it is so important to take care of it. I learned pollution ignorance of individual and global problems need to be solved. The Arctic deserves to be preserved. My trip with Students On Ice has made me more determined to try to ensure that I do not leave harmful footprints on either Earth or its people.24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.

How did the writer feel about the trip according to the last paragraph?A. Surprising.B. Alarming.C. Appealing.D. Rewarding.27. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Global Warming and Canada’s ArcticB. The Arctic Is under Severe ThreatC. My Trip to the Canadian ArcticD. Polar Bears and MecScientists have found an unexpected use for virtual reality headsets (耳机).The devices(装置).widely used by computer gamers, show pictures that can be used to test the navigational(导航)skills of people! Who were thought to be at risk of dementia (痴呆).Those who do worse in the tests will be the ones more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease later in life. scientists now believe.The discovery that the loss of navigational skills was associated with Alzheimer’s was made several years ago by Dennis m Chan and his colleagues based at several centers in the UK. These studies used computers to test navigational tasks. But now scientists plan to take their tests to a new level with the use of the virtual reality headsets in which wearers are placed in man-made environments through which they must navigate.Around 300 people aged between 40 and 60. Will be arranged to participate in the study. Some will have a gene that puts them at risk of the condition or will come from a family with a history of Alzheimer’s. Not all will certainly be affected by the disease. However,Chan’s project aims to find out who will. Wearing the headsets. Participants will be asked to navigate their way through a series of different environments and then remember the details.Researchers recently pointed out the significance of a tiny area of the brain known as theentorliinal cortex (an important memory center in the brain). It acts as a center in a widespread brain network that controls navigation. This now appears to be the first part of the brain that seems to be easily harmed by Alzheimer’s. The goal of the work is to help people as they develop the disease. ( So far, drug trials for Alzheimer‘s have been applied when people have already got dementi. by which time considerable damage to the brain has already occurred.)Chan told the Obsenver. “If we can develop drugs and use them earlier,for example. before the disease has spread beyond the entorhinal cortex. then this would have the potential to prevent the dementia.)28. What does the unexpected use of VR headsets mentioned in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Making games more interesting for computer gamers.B. Testing one’s potential to develop dementia.C. Helping people suffering Alzhei mer’s recover.D. Reducing the risk of having dementia.29. What are the participants required t o do in the study?A. Know unfamiliar environments by using tablet computers.B. Identify directions in some man-made environments.C. Play computer games by using navigational skills.D. Create special environments by using navigational skills.30. What’s implied (暗示)about the entorhinal cortex in the brain?A. Its functions have been known for years.B. It can be expanded by using VR headsets.C. It can directly affect one’s navigational skills.D. Its size depends on that of one’s memory center.31. From Chan’s words! we can know&A. he will spread the new drugB. he will try out the drugC. the study helps to prevent dementiaD. the study still needs to be improvedDAfter decades of cat-and-mouse between athletes and the world anti-doping agency(WADA) ! athletes found what t hey must have believed to be t he ultimate (终极的)doping agent: their own blood. To enhance a thletic performance with your own blood!You draw your blood and store it in a freezer. Your body compensates by creating more blood. Then,months later, just before a competition, you can re-inject (注射)the old blood for a boost. As the red-blood-cell count goes up,so does an athlete’s ability to absorb oxygen. The more oxygen you get with each breath , the more energy your body is able to burn and the better you are able to perform.Although the enhancement is small to actual drugs, it can be the difference between a gold medal and a silver medal. Best of all,“extra blood”was never something WADA tested for .But WADA wasn’t going to sit by and be fooled. What it came up with in response might be a solution to stop doping once and for all: an athlete biological passport ( ABP ) .The idea is to record some biological features of an athlete through testing done at regular intervals. The biological passport’s partial implementation (实施)-recording blood and steroid levels—began in January 2014.When all necessary biological features are finally combined,WADA will no longer need to worry about finding new methods to detect a drug. It will only have to detect (检测)resulting changes in the body. In the case of blood doping,if the athlete’s normal red-blood-cell count is,say,47%,but then is found to be 51 % after a competition, cheating may have been involved.WADA is confident that the biological passport could even prevent genetic changes—the ultimate,ever-lasting enhancement—which are surely coming next. If an athlete inserts a performance enhancing gene,it will probably leave detectable changes in the body,t hat would differ from the athlete’s feature in the biological passport.32. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Treatment.B. Test.C. Promotion.D. Recovery.33. What words can be used to describe the athlete biological passport?A. Complex and expensive.B. Simple and thorough.C. Flexible and popular.D. Controversial and confusing.34. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the solution of anti-doping mentioned in the text?A. Suspicious.B. Positive.C. Worried.D. Unconcerned.35. What can we infer about the athlete biological passport?A. It can only be used to test blood doping.B. It has been completely adopted by WADA.C. It is the excellent alternative of many athletes.D. It’s a good choice to ensure fairness in sports.第二节(共5小题;每小题!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。

Unit 3 Back to the past能力提升题组训练(A)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018 Learning English 48期) The Pantheon(万神殿)is one of the greatest achievements of the ancient Romans. The ancient Romans were good architects and they built numerous great buildings,many of which are still in good condition today.The Roman architectural style has been borrowed by many of the western countries.The architecture of the Pantheon is unique.In Latin and Greek,pantheon means “Temple of all the Gods”.It is believed that a Roman general built the original Pantheon in 27 BC.It was built to celebrate the victory of a historic battle.The Pantheon was completely destroyed in a big fire in 80 AD.The Pantheon that we see today was actually reconstructed in 125 AD by a Roman emperor.Many historians think that the Pantheon was a place of worship(敬奉), because it housed all the gods and goddesses of ancient Romans.The Pantheon is a splendid example of ancient Roman architecture.This building has been in use for over 2,000 years.The Pantheon is famous for its design,size and its huge dome.The most amazing feature of this building is its huge dome.The Pantheon dome was thought to be the largest in Italy,and even in the whole world.The doors are made of metal and are over 26 feet high.The doorway of the Pantheon is about 40 feet high and 20 feet wide.The columns,weighing 60 tons each,were made of the stones transported from Egypt.A point worthy of mention is that the Greeks greatly influenced the Roman art and architecture.There is an oculus(圆窗) in the center of the dome known as the “Great Eye”,which opens to the sky.The “Great Eye” is the source of light and also serves as a ventilator (通风口).If snow or rain falls inside the Pantheon through the oculus,there are pipes that help draw off the water.On special occasions,religious celebrations were held here.Under Papal rule,it was used as a burial ground for kings and other famous people,including painters who followed Christianity.There are tombs of Raphael,the painter(died in 1520),King Victor Emmanuel Ⅱ (died in 1878),and many more in the Pantheon.1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.There were numerous architectural styles in Rome.B.The Pantheon is the only well-preserved ancient building in Rome.C.The Pantheon is the oldest as well as the largest building in the world.D.Roman architecture has had a great influence on many western countries.2.The Pantheon was thought highly of especially because of its .A.huge sizeB.heavy doorsC.tall columnsD.big dome3.What is the passage mainly about?A.Building styles in ancient Rome.B.How the Pantheon was built.C.Some facts about the Pantheon.D.Ancient buildings in Rome.语篇解读:本文是说明文,介绍了罗马的万神殿,它是意大利乃至整个欧洲建筑史上的杰作,我们可以通过它来了解古罗马的建筑风格。

必修第三册Unit1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(安徽合肥二模)City parks have long been a place for urban residents to get a small amount of green.As cities increasingly feel the impacts of rising seas and temperatures,people are rethinking the roles of urban parks.All of the dark-gray asphalt (沥青) in cities collect heat.Dallas is one of the country’s fastest-warming cities thanks in part to its epervious (不透水的) surfaces,but with a new $312 million bond package,the city is hoping to change ing satellite data,the city is able to see what neighborhoods most need—the cooling effect of green spaces.Cities are increasingly flooding and city planners think parks can help with this issue too.A report published in February by The Nature Conservancy looked at the best ways to deal with flooding in Houston,a city with many neighborhoods built on floodplains andregularly flooded by rising waters.Offering affected homeowners buyouts and transforming homes into green spaces would save more money than installing infrastructure (基础设施) like pipes,they found.Brendan Shane,a climate program director,says parks can create opportunities for people to exercise and play,in addition to cooling neighborhoods and absorbing floodwater.“The stronger the bonds are from neighbor to neighbor,the better they are able to react to a shock,” he says.“Not a single solution by itself will avoid the climate crisis.We see parks as an important part of it,but there isn’t a silver bullet,” says Diane Regas,CEO of The Trust for Public Land.“Parks are an eental community need to do to reach solutions that address climate change and at the same time make people’s lives better.”1.What does the city Dallas want to deal with?A.The lack of green spaces.B.The way of collecting heat.C.The effect of rising seas.D.The bond between neighborhoods.2.What can be inferred from the report by The Nature Conservancy?A.Cities in the world are frequently flooded.B.City parks may help prevent city flooding.C.Cities needn’t invest much money in infrastructure.D.City parks affect peo ple’s choice of a neighborhood.3.What does Brendan Shane say about parks?A.They can enable people to get over a shock.B.They can reduce air pollution effectively.C.They can perform positive social functions.D.They can help people to keep a cool head.4.What does the underlined phrase “a sliver bullet” in paragraph5 mean?A.A fast and effective solution.B.A successful emediate and clear cause.D.An impractical method.B(山东济南学情检测)When people hear “Artificial Intelligence (AI)”,many think of big data.The reason is that some of the most significant AI breakthroughs have relied on enormous data sets.But AI is not only about large data sets,and research in small data approaches in the past decade has grown extensively,with Transfer Learning (TL) (迁移学习) as an especially promising example,which is helpful in settings where you have few data on the task of interest but sufficient data on a related problem.Small data approaches like TL offer numerous advantages over more data-intensive methods.By the use of AI with fewer data,they can facilitate progress in areas where few or no data exist,such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely.More importantly,TL is of great help in terms of generalization.A challenge in the use of AI is that models need to generalize beyond their training data — that is,to give good “answers” to a more general set of “questions” than what they were specifically trained in.TL models work by transferringknowledge from one task to another,so they are very helpful in improving generalization in the new task,even if only limited data are available.AI experts such as Andrew Ng have stated that the approach will be the neachine learning success in industry.There are some early signs of successful adoption and it has been applied to cancer discovery and much more.Despite the increase in research,TL has received relatively little visibility.While many machine learning eiliar withit,techniques such as TL do not seem to have reached the awareness of the broader space of policymakers and business leaders in positions of making important decisions about AI funding and adoption.By acknowledging the success of small data techniques like TL and supporting their widespread use,we can help overcome some widespread misconceptions regarding the role of data in AI and promote innovation in new directions.5.What does the author think of TL?A.It is a potential technique.B.It is of help in large data sets.C.It is an important AI breakthrough.D.It is a reliable

能力提升题组训练(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018江苏苏州一模) In English the sky is blue,and the grass is green.But in Vietnamese there is just one color category for both sky and grass:xanh.For decades cognitive(认知的) scientists have pointed to such examples as evidence that language largely determines how we see color.But new research with four-to six-month-old babies indicates that long before we learn language,we see up to five basic categories of color—a finding that suggests a stronger biological element to perceive(感知) color than previously thought.The study,published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA,tested the color-discrimination abilities of more than 170 British babies.Researchers at the University of Sussex in England measured how long babies spent staring at color swatches,a system known as looking time.First babies were showed one swatch repeatedly until their looking time decreased—a sign they had grown bored with it.Then the researchers showed them a different sample and noted their reaction.Longer looking times were explained to mean the babies considered the second sample to be a new color.Their increasing responses showed that they distinguished among five colors:red,green,blue,purple and yellow.“The finding suggests you come by nature to make color distinctions,but given your culture and language,certain distinctions may or may not be used,”explains lead author Alice Skelton,a doctoral student at Sussex.The study systematically explored babies’ color perception,revealing how we perceive colors before we have the words to describe them,says Angela M.Brown,an experimental psychologist at the Ohio State University’s College of Optometry,who was not involved with the new research.The results add a new challenge to the long nature-versus-nurture debate and the so-called Sapir Whorf hypothesis(假设)—the idea that the way we see the world is shaped by language.In future work,Skelton and her colleagues are interested in testing babies from other cultures.“The way language and culture interact is a really interesting question,”she says.“We don’t yet know the exact systems,but we do know how we start off.”1.What’s the finding of the new research?A.It clarifies what makes babies perceive colors.B.It proves human color recognition is inborn.C.It finds how many colors babies can perceive.D.It shows the color culture is shaped by language.2.According to the new research,we can learn that .A.swatches affect babies in memory and attentionB.longer looking times are based on the psychologyC.researchers determine babies’ color perceptionD.babies can tell the differences of some colors3.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Rainbow in the Baby’s WorldB.A Journey to the World of ColorsC.A New Challenge:Language vs.CultureD.Different Babies,Different Color Perception 语篇解读:本文是说明文。
