2018年高考英语五月预测押题精选（一）（全国Ⅱ卷适用）第1卷一、阅读理解1 “I would say, no matter what people tell you, anything can happen.”That’s the message Internet singer Austin Mahone says at We Day, an event for young people in Canada.When he was 14,Austin and a friend began uploading pop songs to musical websites.“I was just doing it because we had nothing to do, living in a small town.”“I’d check different websites for the hottest songs, and I’d record my own videos,” he explains. “That’s how people began to find me online.”His videos got millions of hits and he signed with a record company. The result was the release of Austin’s first album, Junior Year. While it seems like a sudden rise for the teenager, Austin admits the early days were not always fun. He says a lot of people thought badly of him for posting his videos online. Yet this didn’t put him off.“I kept working hard. ”And the hits on his videos kept coming.Austin’s achievement and spirit make him a perfect fit for the message of We Day. After all, Free the Children, the creator of the event, was founded to “enable youth to make changes.” Even Austin’s unusual rise by way of the Internet fits with the way Free The children works and raises money.Because of Austin, his four million followers will learn about Free the Children. While Austin’s presence certainly helps We Day, it’s good for him, too. Austin gets to show himself as someone who volunteers his time and talent for a worthy cause and show that he cares about making the world a better place.1.Why did Austin put pop songs on musical websites?A.He was bored with his life there.B.To attract people’s attention.C.To help advertise the songs.D.His friend asked him to do so.2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?A.Austin’s sudden rise.B.People’s dissatisfaction.C.The release of Junior Year.D.Signing with a record company.3.What Austin did at We Day ___________.A.was a win-win situationB.set an example for all the singersC.first made him become known to the publicD.led many young people to be volunteers2A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the “Nobel Prize” of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize - the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation - for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel from becoming the next Great Auk.When the 61-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding(人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds’ nests and hatching(孵化) them under incubators, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.Prof Jones, was awarded the $250,000 (£172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn't enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received,” Reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Maurutius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.1.What does the underlined word “accolade” mean in Paragraph2?A.returnB.levelC.honorD.research2.According to the passage, Great Auk is ________.A.an endangered birdB.an extinct birdC.a popular birdD.a fierce bird3.What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 4?A.Taking eggs from the nests has worked well.B.The wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot.C.Kestrel has adapted to the life in the wild.D.It’s difficult to protect kestrel.4.Prof Jones’ idea of taking eggs from the birds’ nests ________.A.was proved of no useB.was widely acceptedC.was promoted officiallyD.was criticized by some people3. One form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for th e youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned (皱眉) upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I find it very relaxing. It’s not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored “grey gamers” is a change in the type of video games available on the market. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy(策略)and simulation(模拟)games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply don’t have the skills requ ired for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.1.What is the common attitude like towards the old in using modern technology?A.Objective.B.Prejudiced.C.Supportive.D.Doubtful.2.What does the “grey gamers” refer to in the text?A.The old who don’t like computer games.B.The teenagers skilled in computer games.C.The aged computer game players.D.The young computer game lovers3.What is “the truth” in the last paragraph?puter games are not suitable for the elder.B.The teenagers are surely better in games skills.C.The old are much less skilled in games.D.The old are better in some games skills.4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Who are Better Gamers, the Old or the Young?B.What “Grey Gamers” Like and Dislikeputer Games Unfit for the Old?D.How Computer Games Develop4. Find native English speakers who are willing to spend some time speaking English with you--you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them.Even if you have an acceptable grasp of the English language, with good grammar and an extensive vocabulary, native English speakers may find you very difficult to understand if you don’t work on your pronunciation. So start speaki ng English today.Correct, clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your level of English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them. Be aware that the pronunciation of certain English words changes greatly depending on the part of the world it’s spoken in.The wider vocabulary and the more phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence--this is the best way to put it in your memory. You should also start a notebook of phrases that English speakers use all the time.Another great way to add some more English conversations into your weekly routine is to sign up for a class in discussion. Attending an English class is a great way to pay attention to some of the more formal aspects of speaking English.A class will teach you the correct way of speaking.1.What is the best title of the passage?A.Ways of improving your speaking English.B.English is an excellent language to learn.C.English is useful business and travel.D.How to learn English grammar clearly.2.The writer advises people to start practising when_______.A.they feel uncomfortable.B.they meet surprising things.C.they have time.D.they buy a notebook.3.What is the best way to learn correct and clear pronunciation?A.Finding the place where English originated.B.Making sure how native speakers pronounce words and imitating them.C.Trying the best to use the words in business.D.Starting a notebook of phrases people use all the time.4.People can remember words well by_______.ing them in sentence.B.putting them in the book.C.starting a new notebook.二、七选五项。

2018年高考英语五月预测押题精选（二）（全国Ⅱ卷适用）第1卷一、阅读理解1. Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel use- less, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many societies.That’s why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organisations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.One successful scheme in France is combining a residential home for the elderly with a creche/nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stones to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (依偎). There are trips out and birthday parties too.The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention and respond well because someone has lime, for them. They also learn that old people are not different or frightening in any way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.1.What is the social problem talked about in Paragraph 1?A.A generation gap.B.Caring for children.C.Intergenerational contactD.The support for the aged.2.What do the programmes mentioned in Paragraph 2 aim to do?A.Make the old take care of children.B.Help the old people learn new things.C.Encourage the young to care for the old.D.Increase contact between the old and the young.3.What is special about the scheme in France?A.Joining an elderly house with a kindergarten.B.Hiring old people as child - care workers.C.Helping children face misfortunes bravely.ing children to accompany the old.4.In which aspect does the scheme benefit the old?A.It builds up their strength.B.They live a healthier life.C.It creates a family atmosphere.D.They are closer to their relatives.2. When Mark Levine, an English-language instructor at Beijing’s Minzu University of China, was f irst invited to attend a Chinese colleague’s wedding in Jiangsu province in 2017, his second year inChina, the California native was ready to present a small decorative gift for the new couple as he used to do in theUnited States.However, his gesture suddenly seemed inappropriate as he realized the Chinese at the ceremony had red envelopes filled with cash to present rather than a packed gift.“It’s a little bit embarrassing when you present something that people didn’t expect to receive on certain occasions,” Levine, who used to be a social worker in the US, told China Daily recently.“In theUS, people do that as well but only for close relatives. People would normally give things as presents, while here inChinared envelopes are more commonly wel comed.”It was the first time the 66-year-old discovered the etiquette-including taboos(禁忌)-in gift giving. He was not alone, as the recent controversy following a British minister’s visit to Taipei,Taiwan, revealed.British Minister of State for Transport Baroness Susan Kramer presented a watch in January to Ko Wen-je, mayor of Taipei, when she visited the city, immediately sparking headlines as she broke a long-held taboo in Chinese culture.A clock or watch, or zhong in Mandarin, signifies “the end” in Chinese, and many associate it with death. Therefore, giving someone, especially an elder, a clock or watch implies “your time is up”.Kramer later apologized for the gaffe(失礼), but Ko also came under fire for his “rude” response as he told reporters that he had no use for the watch and would sell it for cash.However, some expats inChina, such as Mark Dreyer, stand by Ko in this particular debate. “When I heard about the story, I felt embarrassed,” said Dreyer, a British citizen who has lived and worked inChinasince 2007. “After all, ‘don’t give clocks or watches to your hosts’ is on page 1 of mostChinatravel guides. I’m embarrassed by the lack of respect shown by the British for not even reading about the customs beforehand.”"1.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph3 refer to?A.Giving cash.B.Presenting gifts.C.Receiving money.D.Attending weddings.2.How did the pub lic view Ko’s response to the gift?A.They thought it appropriate.B.They believed he had no other choice.C.They considered it a smart move.D.They saw it as a rudeness.3.What was Dreyer’s attitude to the British Minister’s gift?A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Negative.D.Supportive.4.What can we learn from the passage?A.Americans don’t expect to receive cashes as gifts.B.Chinese don’t expect to receive clocks as gifts.C.Presenting red envelopes is a bad custom in China.D.British know nothing about Chinese customs.3. Asia is such a vast and diverse continent for anyone dreaming of an escape. Here are some best destinations to visit over the next 12 months.Xi’an,ChinaXi’an, China is supreme and then there’s the biggie (重要的事物)-the Army of Terracotta Warriors, celebrating 30 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.Xi’an is vast, but a relaxed way of living and recent openings have boosted an already superb accommodation market. A crop of new bars and cafes are thrown in here. There’s n ever been a better time to visit.South of Tokyo, JapanTwo cities in south of Tokyo are well worth visiting.Yokohama is just a 20-mixinte train journey from the capital and packs considerable appeal with its bayside location, architecture, beer and tasty cuisine.Less than an hour from Tokyo, fantastic seaside town Kamakura »s known for its surfing scene, but also offers an attractive selection of relaxed cafes and restaurants.Sri Lanka’s Hill CountrySri Lanka may be “so hot right now”, but Lonely Planet recommends a different experience.Try getting ahead of (and away from) the pack by taking a scenic train to Sri Lanka’s Hill Country for a wonderfully temperate escape from the nation’s humid coasts.This island owns a mountainous interior that is every bit as scenic as the coast, blessed by pleasantly cool temperatures that rarely above 21℃.Raja Ampat,Indonesia“Raja” means “king” and this grand title is apparent. Packed with white-sand beaches, lush jungle and unusual mushroom-shaped small islands. Raja Ampat is a biological hotspot.Home to some of the richest, most diverse coral reefs on the planet—over 200 diving spots are still in a state of nature—and this, paired with a growing ecotourism (生态旅游) offering, means Raja Ampat will no doubt remain king of the islands.1.What can visitors do in Xi’an?A.Shop in a fantastic seaside town.B.Appreciate diverse heritage.C.Enjoy mushroom-shaped small islands.D.Experience planting crops by themselves.2.Where is a surfer most likely to go?A.Yokohama.B.Raja Ampat.C.Kamakura.D. Sri Lanka’s Hill Country.3.Where is this text probably taken from?A.A fiction book.B.A private letter.C.A science report.D.A travel guidebook.4. Homeless people face a lot of challenges. Some of the most basic challenges, however, spring from not having regular access to clean water and cleaning stuff such as soap and shampoo. And poor personal hygiene(卫生) can be particularly troubling for homeless teens.That challenge inspired a young researcher, Leia Glunckman, to invent a multi-purpose product. It would need to absorb sweat and oil from skin and hair. It would need to clean teeth. Plus, it would need to kill bacteria without being harmful to people. She wanted her ingredients to be natural and biodegradable(可降解的).Leia started by going to stores and looking at the ingredient(原料) lists for tooth powders, body powders and dry shampoos. Then she put together eight different trial recipes of her own. She tested each mixture to see how well it absorbed body oil and cleaned hair. To find out how these might work as a toothpaste, she tested them at removing coffee stains from eggshells.Eventually, Leia settled on three working recipes. Each contains salt and baking powder. The salt helps clean teeth and remove dirt, she notes. Baking powder helps absorb smells. Her three recipes’ other ingredients differ. Some of those ingredients included cloves, cinnamon and chamomile. Those sorts of things give her products different tastes and smells. That would let teens choose a product based on personal preferences.Leia wants to develop her products further. “Could it be used to drive off mosquitoes?” she asks. “Or does it attract them? These are questions I want to answer next,” she note s.Science offers a way to go about “solving problems and helping people,” says Leia. And she thinks her products could benefit a broad range of people, not just the homeless. Anyone in an area with little or no access to clean water could find her products useful, she says.1.What made Leia make the product according to the text?A.Her personal experience.B.The suffering of homeless people.C.Poor personal hygiene for homeless people.D.Her curiosity about invention and helping others.2.The third paragraph mainly tells us ______________.A.how Leia made the productB.how effective the product isC.what functions the product hasD.what ingredients the product has3.What can we learn about the product from the fourth paragraph?A.People can buy it in the market now.B.The product only has three varieties.C.Salt is used to clear smells and remove dirt.D.It can be custom-made to suit personal taste.4.How does Leia feel about her invention?A.It has some faults.B.It is quite satisfactory.C.It still needs improving.二、七选五way.①__________However, the vast majority of successful students achieve their success by developing and applying effective study habits.1. ②__________Successful students typically space their work out over shorter periods of time and rarely try to crowd all of their studying into just one or two sessions. If you want to become a successful student, then you must have regular, yet shorter, study periods.2. Plan when you’re going to study.Successful students schedule specific time throughout the week when they are going to complete their studying —and then they stick with their schedule.③__________3. Study at the same time.Not only is it important that you plan when you’re going to study but also that you create a consistent daily study routine and stick with it. Thus, you’ll be mentally and emotionally more prepared for each study session and each study session will become more productive.4.Have a specific goal in each study time④__________You need to know exactly what you need to accomplish during each study session. Before you start studying, set a study session goal that supports your overall academic goal.5. Never delay your planned study session.It ’s very easy to put off your study session because of lack of interest in the subject, because you have other things you need to get done first or just because the assignment is hard. ⑤__________If you delay your study session, your studying will become much less effective. Delay also leads to rushing, and rushing is the number one cause of errors.A. Students who study occasionally don’t perform as well as students who have a set study schedule.B. Use study groups effectively.C. Start with the most difficult subject first.D. Don`t try to crowd all your studying into one session.E. True, some students are able to finish school with little effort.F. Successful students DO NOT put off studying.三、完形填空to the railing(栏杆) as she walks down the stairs.

Beijing’s Forbidden City, once home to royal families of the Ming and Qing dynasties, isa place full of wonder．From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts（工艺品）, no wonder it’s one of China’s most popular tourist destinations now．But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises．Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s estimated that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes．And while most structures aren’t made t o survive natural disasters, let alone ones built hundreds of years ago, it seems that the Forbidden City was built to stand anything．A recent television documentary（纪录片）by UK broadcaster Channel 4explored the skills of the ancient building’s designer s．A group of Chinese carpenters and engineers were shown building a model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one fifth of the size．To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to the test．It was subjected to a simulated（模拟的）earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale（里氏震级）﹣the largest ever recorded quake﹣and survived．Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test．According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in brackets or dougong﹣a centuries﹣old building method invented in China．Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets rough．“Dougong design is an important earthquake﹣resistant feature of classical Chinese structures because the framework changes in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers（减震器）of a car．”according to Chinese National Geography．“Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures that were both strong and pleasing to theeye, showing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science．”The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and cultural significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter．（1）What happened to the model during the test？________A.It fell apart．B.It was destroyed．C.It moved slightly．D.It remained unchanged．（2）What made the Forbidden City resist earthquake？________A.The shock absorbers．B.Special building materials．C.Beautiful artifacts．D.Dougong design．（3）What can be inferred from the text？________A.Dougong design was thought highly of by the author．B.The Forbidden City will serve as an earthquake shelter soon．C.Dougong design can date back to the Ming Dynasty．D.The Forbidden City has been a tourist destination since it was built．【答案】CDA【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文介绍了紫禁城可以抵御地震侵袭而保持结构稳定的原因﹣﹣一种斗拱的建筑方法．【解答】（1）C．细节理解题．由第四段Instead of falling apart，the model was just moved gently during the test．．模型在测试期间只是轻轻地移动，而不是分崩离析．故选C．（2）D．细节理解题．由第五段the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength，as well as other ancient Chinese structures’，lies in brackets or dougong﹣a centuries﹣old building method invented in China．紫禁城的力量，以及其它中国古代建筑抗震的答案，都在中国发明的一种有几百年历史的建筑方法﹣﹣斗拱中．故选D．（3）A．理解推断题．由倒数第二段Dougong design is an important earthquake﹣resistant feature of classical Chinese structures ，斗拱设计是中国古典建筑的重要抗震特征．可知斗拱设计深受作者推崇，故选A．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．Nothing is more important to academic achievement than being a good

Zhou Haiyan is happy that up to 1, 200 endangered white cranes, a third of the global population, spend winter in lotus root fields near Poyang Lake, China’s largest freshwater lake．Zhou, a photography enthusiast, nearly missed the cranes this winter as local farmers at Nanchang Wuxing Farm planned to plant rice to replace lotus root（莲藕）last spring to avoid damage caused by the cranes．“If the farmers made it into reality, the cranes would lose an ideal place for finding foods, ” said the 46﹣year﹣old former TV host．“Lotus root contains large amounts of starch（淀粉）, a favorite food of the cranes who strive to find food in the lake, ” said Dai Nianhua, a researcher with the Jiangxi Provincial Academy of Sciences． Yet, farmers regard the cranes as a threat as they will have no harvest next year if the cranes eat the lotus root under the water．To help the cranes stay at the farm, Zhou, together with many bird﹣lovers, launched an online crowd﹣funding campaign on WeChat in March last year． They collected 2.1 million yuan from 100 donors, including overseas Chinese from the United States and Canada．“We rented 498 mu （33 hectares） of lotus root fields and bought 75, 000kg of lotus root for the birds, ” Zhou said．“We also strengthened the farmland, built new roads and a water control system．”Before the cranes arrived in November, bird﹣lovers managed to build the country’s first privately funded white crane protection zone that combines the functions of scientific research, education and photography．“The white crane protection zone did not sp end a single penny of the government’s, but it effectively protects the habitat, ” said Dai, adding that the government should give more policy and financial support to the crane protectors． For Zhou, funding is still the biggest problem． They have only 180, 000 yuan left in their coffers（金库）, far from enough to pay the rent and buy lotus root for next winter．“We are see﹣king more funding, ” Zhou said．“We must keep this habitat, so humans and cranes can interact closely．”（1）What is the author’s main purpose of writing the 2nd paragraph？________A.To explain to us why lotus roots are cranes’ best﹣loved food．B.To remind us that cranes are a danger to farmers’ harvest of lotus roots．C.To tell us why the local farmers planned to plant rice to replace lotus roots．D.To warn us that the white cranes

2018年高考英语五月预测押题精选（二）（全国Ⅰ卷适用）第1卷一、阅读理解1. As self —driving cars come closer to being common on American roads, much of the rhetoric (说辞) promoting them has to do with safety. About 40,000 people die on U. S. roads every year, and driver errors are linked to more than 90 percent of crashes. But many of the biggest advocates of autonomous vehicles aren’t car companies looking to improve the safety of their existing products. Huge backing for self - driving technologies is coming from Silicon Valley giants like Google and Apple.Those of us who have studied the relationship between technology and society tend to look more carefully at the motivations behind any technological push. In this case, it’s clear that in addition to addressing safety concerns, Silicon Valley firms have a strong incentive (动机) to create a new venue for increasing the use of their digital devices. Every minute people spend on their mobile phones provides data - and often money - to tech companies.At present, digital devices and driving are in conflict: There are serious, often fatal, consequences when drivers use smartphones to talk or to text. Regulators and safety advocates look to resolve dial conflict by banning phone use while driving - as has happened in virtually every state. But the tech companies are taking a different approach. The obvious answer for Silicon Valley is creating an antomobile in which continuous cellphone use no longer poses a threat to anyone.In recent years, the amount of time adults spend on their mobile devices has grown rapidly. At the moment, it’s around four hours a day for the average adult in the U. S. However, that rapid growth is likely to slow down as people run out of time that ’ s available for them to use their devices. Unless, of course, there’sa new block of time that suddenly opens up. The average American now spends about48 minutes in a car every day, a sizable opportunity for increased cellphone use.So as the public conversation around autonomous cars highlights the safety advantages, don’t forget the tech industry ’ s powerful desire for more profits, which goes well beyond simply saving us from ourselves.1.Who are responsible for most traffic accidents in America?A.Car companies.B.Tech companies.C.Drivers.D.Self - driving cars.2.What is Silicon Valley’s motive for promoting self - driving technologies?A.To make more money.B.To reduce traffic accidents.C.To limit the use of digital devices.D.To support car companies.3.What is the present - day solution to the conflict between digital devices and driving?A.Teaching people traffic rules.B.Improving self-driving technologies.C.Fixing digital devices in cars.D.Banning phone use while driving.4.What does the underlined phrase “a new block of time” p ossibly refer to?A.The working time.B.People’s spare time.C.The time spent in the car.D.The time spent on mobile devices.2.Two in three Americans shower once a day or more, according to a YouGov poll. Here’s why you might be better off showering less frequently(and here are other ways you might be showering wrong)1.What’s the whole passage mainly about?A.Reasons you can probably get away with showering less.B.Advice you can take on how to shower more and better.C.Harmful effects made on you through showering less.D.Benefits you can get from showering on a daily basis.2.This passage provides us with the following further detailed information Except ___.A.the best time of day to showerB.the proper temperature for your showerC.the other ways you shower wrongD.the other ways to cut your water bill3.Which of the following is Not a reason why you should shower less?A.Showering gets rid of good bacteria.B.You’re absolutely as dirty as you think.C.Towel drying causes damage to your skin.D.You only really need to wash your smelly parts3. The “24 solar terms” was firstly used in China. It was created thousands of years ago on the basis of practical needs of agriculture. Ancient Chinese people used it to guide agriculture production, special climate signs and even healthy living tips. Last year, the 24 solar terms was added to UNESCO’s world intangible cultural heritage list. Now, it has been brought to life thanks to a creative designer from Southwest China’s Guizhou province.On the eve of this year’s Qingming Festival, Shi Changhong released(发布) his version of re-produced and pack-aged characters for each solar term in the form of “moving art” of gifs (动画). Since their first release on Zccol on March 29, the gifs have won great praise among the general public and quickly swept social media with millions of hits during the festival period.To maximize publicity, Shi released his work in three forms: video, cartoon and picture, while, the background sounds add to the brilliance.“When I watch the short video, I can strongly feel the Chinese-style elements(元素) hidden in them. And it is really cool to refresh Chinese traditional culture in such a unique way.” WeChat user Xiao Feifei said.“It is really a comfort to me to see so many p eople like my latest work. To be honest, it would really surprise me if the work does not awaken a sensation among Chinese people. The 24 solar items is a concept that sums up the essence(精髓) of Chinese wisdom. However, only a small percentage of people know all the names or the correct order of those terms. My intention is to increase Chinese people’s self awareness to learn more about our traditional fine culture. Actually, the 24 solar items work is only a part of my whole design program ‘Charm China’, w hichI started over a year ago.” Shi told China Daily.1.What do you think the underlined word “Zccol” refers to?A.A magazine.B.A website.C.A radio broadcast.D.A daily newspaper.2.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce a creative designer.B.To introduce the origin of the 24 solar terms.C.To introduce a design program “Charm China”.D.To introduce the 24 solar items work.3.What can we know from the text?A.The background sounds of the work make the video more attractive.B.It really surprised Shi Changhong to see so many people like his latest work.C.Most old people know all the names of the correct order of the 24 solar termsD.The 24 solar items work by Shi Changhong was added to UN4.Which part of the newspaper does the text probably belong to?A.Travel.B.Business.C.Culture.cation4. It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk,a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is another sit uation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally inc reases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.1.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To remind readers of their own special food.B.To deepen the understanding of hunger.C.To report the discovery of craving study.D.To lead to the topic of the whole passage2.What do we learn about food craving?A.It shows food is linked to feelings.B.It ensures a person survives hunger.C.It means the stomach functions well.D.It proves the brain decides your appetite.3.What’s the likely result of dieting?A.The decrease of chemicals.B.The increase of food desire.C.The refusal of fat and sugar.D.The disappearance of appetite.4.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The functions of brain areas.B.What hunger is all about.C.The findings of food craving.二、七选五项。
