They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming. But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered.

广东省广州市2017届普通高中毕业班综合测试(二模)英语试题第二部分阅读理解Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life﹣changing adventure overseas．They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down．However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture．The honeymoon periodAt first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure．They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an extended holiday．They don't mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture．They can even afford to practice their foreign﹣language skills without fear of making mistakes．Trouble in paradiseIn many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be．As time goes by，they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache．In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background．The road to recoveryGradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them．This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account．This new﹣found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness．Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem．The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country：you will not succeed．If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind．21．Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first？A．They find foreign living much easier．B．They have the necessary language skills．C．They love the adventure and exploration．D．They enjoy meeting people from different cultures．22．According to the author，what is the main problem many people moving abroad face？A．Homesickness．B．Culture shock．C．Health problems．D．Lack of employment．23．What would the author suggest people moving abroad do？A．Study the local language．B．Go on holidays frequently．C．Learn how to open a bank account．D．Seek out people from their home country．Australia loves interesting money．In 1988，it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes．Now it's introduced a new five﹣dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!At first glance，the new note looks much like the old one．It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back．But look closer，and you will notice a clear window running down the middle，surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses，a type of Australian plant．Tilt（使倾斜）the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill，an Australian bird，beating its wings as if trying to fly away．Turn the bill from side to side，and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins，and the image of"5"changes position．While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining，that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them．Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes．The new five﹣dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money．It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom，enabling blind people to quickly determine its value．The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all﹣important bump goes to 15﹣year﹣old Connor McLeod．The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas．Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria．To convince the government officials of his idea，Connor started a website that got huge public attention．The government will add this feature to the new 10 bill which comes out in late 2017，as well as the updated 20，50，and 100bills that are still being designed．24．Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted？A．The bird．B．The number．C．The plants．D．The building．25．What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote？A．To make the note more difficult to copy．B．To show the country's advanced technology．C．To help blind people more easily use money．D．To make the not's appearance more attractive．26．What can we guess about Australian coins？A．They are different in size or shape．B．They are required in school cafeterias．C．They are more frequently used than notes．D．They are more convenient for young people．27．What did Connor do to persuade the government？A．He wrote a letter to the leaders．B．He organized an online meeting．C．He sought support on the Internet．D．He requested a special Christmas gift．At this year's Technology Forum，speakers include world﹣famous people，such as SteveWozniak，co﹣founder of Apple Computer，and lesser﹣known individuals with great ideas to change the world．One of the latter is Jonny Cohen，a high school senior，green businessman and creator of GreenShields．Since Cohen was a child，he has been innovating and inventing．When he was 12 and took science classes at Northwestern University，he saw a school bus and had an idea：what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient？This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced．He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents'garage and placed small metal plates or shields on toy school buses to test them．The result：his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus，decreased wing drag，and produced better fuel economy and less pollution．Cohen went through various experiments to improve his GreenShields invention．With the help of MIT and Cook﹣Illinois Bus Company，which donated a full﹣sized bus for Cohen's experiments，he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach，enabling widespread adoption．average US school bus is seven miles per gallon．GreenShields increases fuel efficiency by 10﹣20%，saving about 600 per bus per year，and costs only 30 to attach．Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put GreenShields on all school buses．With almost half﹣a﹣million school buses in America using nearly 2.5 billion of fuel per year，a consumption reduction of 10﹣20% would make a big difference in pollution．Not to mention the roughly 285 million in annual savings on fuel．28．What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text？A．He has produced GreenShields independently．B．He has been employed to improve school buses．C．He is a world﹣famous businessman and inventor．D．He has a talent for finding and solving problems．29．How does GreenShields make a bus more fuel efficient？A．By reducing the amount of wind drag．B．By improving the quality of fuel used．C．By providing a wind tunnel for the bus．D．By changing the shape of the bus engine．30．Where did Cohen begin testing his shields？A．At Northwestern University．B．In his parents'garage．C．At a local bus company．D．In an MIT lab．31．What's the intended benefit of Cohen's invention？A．To provide school buses with cheaper fuel．B．To reduce the cost of producing school buses．C．To increase the profits of the school bus industry．D．To make school buses more environmentally﹣friendly．We all know the feeling：looking at the computer screen，pretending to be interested in our homework，even though we really feel bored．But such feelings may soon be at an end，says Dr．Harry Witchel，head of the Essex Medical School．He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it．Before you get concerned，the machine won't be reading your mind．It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer．It's not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一like moving a mouse or touching a screen﹣but small，barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes，moving in your seat or rubbing your face．Witchel calls these"boredom movements"and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching．The higher the interest level，the less movement!activities ranged from playing online games （an interesting task）to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring．A special video camera followed the participants'movements as they completed each task．Just as the researcher expected，the"boredom movements"greatly decreased，by as much as 42%，when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing．Fortunately，Dr Witchel isn't planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school．Instead，he wants"movement sensing"technology to be builtinto future computers in order to improve students'computer﹣based learning experience．The scientist says that by measuring the students'interest level as they work，educators will be able to adjust their materials in real﹣time to keep students focused．Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future，help to develop more intelligent robots．32．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to？A．Homework．B．A computer．C．Boredom．D．The future．33．Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research？A．To discover how bored people move．B．To find out what makes people bored．C．To see if interested people are more active．D．To test the link between boredom and movement．34．Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to？A．Turning off the machine．B．Typing words on a keyboard．C．Surfing quickly between webpages．D．Moving one's head from side to side．35．How will the new technology help education，according to Witchel？A．By reducing teachers'workload．B．By maintaining students'learning interest．C．By reporting students'misbehavior in class．D．By making learning more like a computer game．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．Philadelphia is a city known for many things．It is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776，and it was also the first capital of the United States．（36）It is home to nearly 3.000 mural（壁画）painted on the side of homes and buildings around the city．That's more muralsthan any other city on Earth．（37）More than 20years ago，a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the

kinds of people during the painting．They learned to be responsible，because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed．（39）It is hard for anyone to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia．Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia and you will find beautiful works of art on the side and fronts of buildings．Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods，but richer ones as well．Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals，which show the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home．（40）It is also a model for other cities throughout America seeking to help troubled youth．A．How did this come to be？B．What happened to the murals on Earth？C．They also learned to take pride in their community．D．But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well﹣known．E．From this some project，something magical happened．F．The program encouraged troubled youth to paint together with their teachers．G．As a result of its success，the murals program has now become the nation's largest public art program．第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空When you give thanks for

Lake．But there's another classical dance form with a long history （61）has only recently burst onto the world scene．It is called classical Chinese dance．Classical Chinese dance is （62）incredibly demanding，refined，and expressive dance form．Alongside ballet，it is also one of the most comprehensive dance systems （63）（know）to humankind．（64）recently，few people outside China had ever heard of classical Chinese dance．One major reason was that when Chinese companies performed abroad，they often mixed Chinese dance with western dance style．And so the audience left the theater not sure exactly

If you have then you’re not alone. When and where dogs first began living side-side with humans are questions that have stirred hot debate among scientists. There are a few hard facts that all agree on. These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the first animal to be domesticated(驯养) by humans. They came into lives some 15000 years ago, before the dawn of agriculture.Beyond that, there is little agreement. The earliest bones found that are unquestionable dogs and not wolves date from 14,000 years ago. However, 30,000-year-old skulls have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolf and some scientists think could be dogs.With such puzzling evidence, many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when and where dogs were first domesticated. In one research project, tens of thousands of blood samples have been taken from street dogs around the world. The plan is to compare them with those of wolves. It’s even possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones. Tiny pieces of the 30,000-year-old skulls mentioned earlier are currently being studied, and another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice-fields evolved from Asian wolves, not American ones.Indeed, the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs. Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years, their current distribution may tell us very little of their origins. This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogs variously originated in eastern Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, Europe or Africa.But why were the animals domesticated in the first place? The most recent theory is that dogs domesticated themselves, initially living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out. Today, this is a way of life still shared by three -quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide.28.Which is the only statement generally agreed on by scientists studyingdogs?A. They originally were used as farm animalB. They evolved from wolves found in EuropeC. They helped the development of agricultureD. They were the first animal to be kept as pets29.Why does the writer first mention the 30,000-year-old-animal skulls?A. To show that dogs were much larger in the pastB. To prove that dogs developed from Asian wolvesC. To suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlierD. To argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium30.How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska?A. By examine the animals’ DNAB. By analyzing the age of their bonesC. By studying the shape of their skullsD. By comparing them with modern dogs31.Why did dogs start living with humans?A. Because they were attracted by foodB. Because they were trapped by humansC. Because they couldn’t survive in the wildD. Because they were trained to protect villagesDMany people believe that the only way to make our communities safer is to build more prisons. But there’s a way better protect cities and towns by doing just the opposite.In many countries throughout the world, prison populations have risendramatically over the past decade. One of the main reasons for this is the large number of repeat offenders; that is people who break the law again once freed from jail. Statistics show that about one in four prisoners freed every year return to jail within three years.This is partly because ex-prisoners face huge difficulty finding employment. More than a third of them cannot find any job at all. Data show that having a job greatly reduces the chances that a person will commit a crime again or commit one in the first place. Released prisoners who do manage to find steady employment are 50 percent less likely to return to prison. Rather than harming a community, having a job helps ex-prisoners to change their ways and make a positive and productive contribution to their communities.What’s more, helping these men and women find jobs would also save taxpayers a lot of money. Few prisoners would save governments millions or possibly even billions of dollars annually: the costs of building and operating jails.There are many things that the government can do to help ex-prisoners find work. More job training programs should be introduced to provide prisoners with work skills before they are freed. Companies and factories should also be given tax benefits if they employ ex-prisoners. Such programs have been shown to work in several countries.Such policies of course assure that freed criminals actually want to work. But shouldn’t they be given the chance? Our goal, after all, shouldn’t be toincarcerate as many prisoners as possible, but to build a society that doesn’t need to put such a large percentage of its population in jail. We should take a step in that direction and help prisoners find self-respect and purpose through work.32.What percentage of freed prisoners returns to prison within three years?A. 65%B. 50%C. 33%D. 25%33.Which of the following best describes the content of the fifth paragraph?A. FactsB. ArgumentsC. RecommendationsD. Requirements34.What does the underlined word “incarcerate” in the last paragraph?A. set freeB. lock upC. employD. separate35.Which of the following would be author agree with?A. Tougher punishment will reduce crimeB. Most prisoners do not deserve to be in prisonC. Economic conditions are a major cause of crimeD. Prison populations are likely to increase in the future第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）The Rio GrandeAlthough not the longest in America, the Rio Grande is one of the most important.
