meals．There's a catch，however．You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week．There are no books or television or radio for amusement．You can't leave until the week is up．And a camera will be recording your every move．Two people actually took the job．The idea came from Rob Thompson，a video artist．He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated．His goal was to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．He decided to pay $5，000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week．To Rob's surprise，quite a few people answered his advertisement．He had interviewed and selected Eric，a 24﹣year﹣old restaurant worker，and Para，a 24﹣year﹣old chemist．The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide．A camera would record their experiences，which would take place in an art museum．The week was long and difficult．They slept on a hard wooden floor．They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads．They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe．Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain．There were no sinks，mirrors，or toothbrushes in the cage．Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage．Visitors who came here were warned，"Do not feed the humans．"Finally it was over，and Para and Eric appeared from their cage．They had survived the week，and they each had a $2，500 check in their hands．When RobThompson opened the cage，Eric came out，changed into clean clothes，and ate a chocolate bar right away．"It's great to be able to stand up，"he said．Para just changed her clothes and left．After a week of visitors and reporters watching her，she didn't want to

they have maintained a Body Mass Index （BMI）of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show．That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds．"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders，"said physician Adatto．"Underweight models，"he explained，"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny．"But some critics in this country say it is misguided，focusing on weight instead of health．They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry．"I think it's an approach that isn't going to work．"said eating disorder expert Susan Ice，who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models．But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized．He said．"I realized that only legislation（立法）can change the situation．There was no time to waste；so many girls were dieting to death．"However，the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health．Still，folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with．"Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders，but it makes it harder，"she says．"It's a difficult recovery environment，worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal．"64．One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is．A．to change the working conditions of modelsB．to lower the chance of skinny models'deathC．to provide guidance for women worshiping thinnessD．to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders65．In the opinion of the critics，the law won't succeed because．A．it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit．B．it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well．C．it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models．D．the fashion industry is much too influential．66．What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation？A．Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model．B．Establishing his fashion model agent．C．Being interviewed by a reporter．D．Seeing a model die from eating disorders．67．（8分）In face of global warming，much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies．But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less﹣polluting energy alternatives，it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs．In the meantime，the amount of CO2in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）．"As long as we're consuming fossil fuels，we're putting out CO2，"says Klaus Lackner，a geophysicist at Columbia University，"We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely．"That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2，which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming．"We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral （基本的）role in reducing emissions，"says Kim Corley，Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs．That forward thinking strategy is gaining support．The U．S．Department of Energy recently proposed putting 1billionintoanew2.4billion coal ﹣burning energy plant．The plant's carbon﹣capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal﹣burning plants．But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it？One option is to put it to new uses．Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts （转换）coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas．It then ships the gas 200miles by pipeline to Canada，where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations．In the Netherlands，Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses，increasing their production of fruits and vegetables．However，scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long﹣term storage．Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean，Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline （盐的）formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world．67．What does the author intend to tell readers？A．How to find more oil and natural gases．B．How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions．C．How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively．D．How to make good use of solar and wind energy．68．According to the passage，the following statements are true EXCEPT that．A．the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government B．it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological structuresC．capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming D．long﹣term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2emissions 69．By using CO2，Dutch farmers have been able to．A．increase their production of fruits and vegetables B．convert coal into synthetic natural gasC．pump it underground in oil recovery operations D．make exhausted oil and gas fields productive70．How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph？A．It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy．B．It refers to the coal﹣burning energy plant that U．S government sponsors．C．It implies the carbon﹣capture technologies will be popular once successful．D．It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2emissions needs a large sum of investment．第四部分：任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．71．（10分）Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life，and we should keep learning something new every day．To become a lifelong learner，first of all you should learn where your talents and interests lie．You can try many different things so that you'll find you're not only good at a few things．Be careful of past memories that tell you to stay away from certain things．This can soon prevent you seizing chances to try many new things．Anyway，be careful not to let past experiences like these cut off opportunities for you now．To make learning fun，you need to see learning as an exploration，not a chore （杂事）．Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary．Instead，learn things you need to learn and you love to learn．Follow your heart，as well as your sense of duty．Even when you're learning the things you have to，seek to go beyond what you're being asked to learn．Look at the history，case studies，different applications，etc．，to make your learning experience much more colorful．Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful．So make friends with local new and used book sellers．Through reading you'll never stop learning．Wise people read lots of books all the time；it's as simple as that．And reading will help you know the discoveries and mistakes of others so that you don't have to learn things the hard way．So remember that books，newspapers，and magazines are all reading，and as are websites，reviews and other online sources of information．Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers．So be sure to listen closely and understand the response．Sometimes a response is difficult to understand．Feel free to take notes，ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components （成分）to make sense of it．You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have．Questions can teach as much as，or more than，answers．To be a lifelong learner，often evaluate （评估）and apply what you learn．Does it make sense？Is it true？Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you're learning．In addition，applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it'll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer．How to become a lifelong learner．ParagraphoutlinesSupporting detailsKnow what you are good at and（71）By trying many different things，you can be aware of your possible （72）to do many things well．You should overcome your past memories and don't（73）any chance to tryin．something new．View learningas an exploration．Don't force yourself to learn something．Instead，be eager to learn what（74）to you．When learning the things you have to，also try to make it（75）．Do more reading．Try your best to read various books because reading can help you avoid something（76）．You can read books，newspapers，magazines as well as different（77）information．Ask right questions．When you have（78）understanding the response，take notes and ask more questions to help yourself．You can（79）your learning and problems in a

broadcast．强调的为时间状语，故选C．【点评】题目中含有It is/was…that…这样的结构，首先要考虑它是不是强调句．如果把这种句型结构划掉后，应该是一个完整无缺的句子，这就是强调句；这也是判断强调句型与其它从句的方法．24．（1分）_______ a child's parents die，UNICEF would have special projects to help the child even if he or she lives in the remotest area．（）A．Could B．Should C．Might D．Would【分析】如果孩子的父母死了UNICEF会有特殊的项目来帮助他/她，哪怕他/她生活在遥远的地方．【解答】答案：B解析：根据后面主句"UNICEF would have special projects…"中的would可知此题使用了虚拟语气，故从句应该借助should来表示虚拟．拓展：一般现在时情况下。

2017-2018学年河南省濮阳市高二上学期期末考试（A卷）语文试题2018年2月注意事项：本试卷共8页。

全卷共150分。

考试时间150分钟。

本试卷包括第I卷（阅读题）和第II卷（表达题）两部分，均为必考题。

考生作答时，将全部答案写在答题卡上，在本试卷上作答无效。

考试结束后，只交答题卡。

第I卷阅读题（90分）一、现代文阅读（49分）（一）论述类文本阅读（本题共3小题，9分）阅读下面的文字，完成1-3题。

“独立不迁”是屈原人格美的核心。

它包含两方面：一是对养育了自己的故乡的热爱与依恋；二是在政治斗争中坚持原则，决不随波逐流。

屈原的一生便是“独立不迁”的最好诠释。

他始终坚持自己的“美政”理想，屡遭打击，毫不动摇，正如他在《离骚》中所说的：“虽体解吾犹未变兮，岂余心之可惩！”他也曾打算像战国时代一般士大夫那样周游列国。

去寻找了解自己的君主。

但是，对于自小生于斯、长于斯的乡土的深挚感情，使屈原不能他迁，最后只好身投汨罗，以死来殉自己的祖国和一生为之奋斗的理想。

与“独立不迁”相联系着，屈原在诗歌《橘颂》中还提出两条为人的准则：无求与苏世。

《橘颂》中说：“深固难徙，廓其无求兮”一个人胸怀坦荡，不图私利，不干人，不屈己，才能顶天立地，保持独立的人格。

《橘颂》又说：“苏世独立，横而不流兮。

”必须头脑清醒，是非明辨，才能保持自己的独立而不至于随波逐流。

无求与苏世浸透在屈原“独立不迁”的人格里，使之臻于更坚实、更完美的境地。

《渔父》的中心思想也是“独立不迁”。

不过这首诗人们多以为伪作。

王逸既说是“屈原之所作”，又说是楚人追记屈原与渔父的对话，本来就自相矛盾。

但司马迁在《屈原列传》中已采用它的内容作为事实来叙述，因此可以设想，这篇作品的文字虽然不一定出自屈原之手，而渔父与屈原的问答却实有其事。

屈原的答话可以作为了解屈原思想的可靠资料。

渔父问屈原何以被放逐，他答曰：举世混浊而我独清，众人皆醉我独醒，是以见放。

渔父又问他：“举世混浊，何不随其流而扬其波？众人皆醉，何不哺其糟而啜其醨？”他答曰：宁赴常流而葬乎江鱼腹中，又安能以皓皓之白，而蒙世俗之温蠖乎？渔父和屈原对话代表了两种不同的人生观。

AWhile beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).Lake SevanLake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to partake in such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. While there, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments, the Sevanavank Monastery, and it offers a great view of the lake as well.Lake ParavaniLake Paravani, located at 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the Javakheti plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes.Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are notaware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here. It’s situated at 5, 380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content. 1．If you want to visit some historic sites during your travel by a lake, you can go to_______ .A. Lake CildirB. Lake ParvaniC. Lake SevanD. Lake Van2．What is special about Lake Van?A. Its water is high in salt.B. It is a volcanic lake.C. It is globally the largest lake.D. It is surrounded by mountains. 3．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?A. Lack of medicine.B. V olcano eruptions.C. Altitude sickness.D. Low temperature all the year. 4．Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?A. Lake Sevan and Lake Pa ravani.B. Lake Pravani and Lake Cildir.C. Lake Cildir and Lake Van.D. Lake Sevan and Lake Van.BIt is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和……相符) the ＂boy code＂of hiding their emotions to be a ＂real man＂.Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teach ers can adjust lessons to boys’learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote thestudy’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with ＂boy-focused＂approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given ＂hands-on＂lessons where they are allowed to walk around. ＂Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes,＂James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be ＂masterful and in charge＂in relationships. ＂In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,＂the study reported. 5．The writer argues that a single-sex school would __________.A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. help boys to be more competitive in schoolsC. force boys to be their emotions to be ＂real men＂D. naturally strengthen boys’traditional image of a man6．Traditionally, in a mixed school boys __________.A. behave more responsiblyB. perform relatively betterC. grow up more healthilyD. receive a better education7．In Abigail James’opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boysD. teaching can be designed to promote boys’team spirit8．The underlined word ＂acute＂in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. lovelyB. seriousC. sharpD. dullC＂BANG!＂the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. ＂Never set foot in this house again!＂stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: ＂Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？＂In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. ＂Am I wrong＂I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none.9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.B. The author and his father lacked communication.C. The author’s father didn’t approve of his stamp collecting.D. The author’s father opened the door for him when he came back.10．According to the author, why did his father often shout at him ?A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.B. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.C. Perhaps the son had already grown up.D. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.11．What wa s the author’s attitude towards his father at the end of the story?A. He was frustrated with his father.B. He loved his father.C. He was afraid of his father.D. He was dissatisfied with his father.DScientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure.Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.12．What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.B. Removing the destructive sp ecies for ever.C. Having changed genes in their next generations.D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.13．As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?A. They may become weaker or die out.B. They may be more productive.C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.D. Their genes may spread to later generations.14．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.B. Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision.C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stop research on gene controlB. How to change genetic structureC. Power and danger of gene controlD. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants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。

Architects plan to complete the project in2026,the centenary of Gaudi's death.As Barcelona's most popular tourist site,Sagrada Familia attracts three million visitors every year for one good reason:It's a masterpiece unlike anything else in the world which is largely responsible for the city's lively personality.A setting that could steal the spotlight from any storybook heroWith its valleys surrounded by lakes,rivers,hills and peaks,the Lake District in England's northwest is quite literally taken out of fairy tales.This place was Beatrix Potter's inspiration for Peter Rabbit and the residence（居所）of the Lake Poets,including William Wordsworth,Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey.One of nature's most magical illusionsOnce upon a time in the faraway land of the Faroe Islands,Lake Leitisvatn became known as the most striking of all the islands'lakes.At more than6km long,it is the biggest in the Faroe Islands.In reality, Lake Leitisvatn is actually no more than about30m above sea level.A steep cliff in front of the lake and a clever camera angle make the lake appear to be much higher than it really is.（1）（2分）From the first paragraph,we know Quora is a site where you can________. A．release your stress of lifeB．ask your teachers questionsC．get different views about somethingD．find guides to any magical attractions（2）（2分）What do you know about Sagrada Familia?A．It hasn't been fully built yetB．It is a museum about Antoni GaudiC．It was built in honor of Antoni GaudiD．It tells much about Spain's history（3）（2分）Where did Beatrix Potter create the fairy tale character Peter Rabbit?A．On Lake Leitisvatn.B．In the Lake District.C．From Sagrada Familia.D．At certain hills and peaks.2．（8分）阅读理解When I was younger,I was too shy to the point where I could not even make eye contact（接触）with people I didn't know.If someone greeted me in the hallway,I would lower my head and hurried passed.Funnily enough,this would not have been such a big deal if I had connected with their values and interests.However,everyone in my school was much wealthier than me,and focused on partying and fashion which were contrary to my interests.Although I had a few acquaintances（熟人）,no one seemed to understand me,unable to share my sometimes dark humor and interest in science fiction.Halfway through ninth grade,I was once again thrown into a school of strangers.Making friends was difficult,and I sat alone at lunch for the rest of the year.In tenth grade,however,I took part in my school's theatre program,where I met some of my closest friends.The theatre forced me to overcome my shyness and taught me to speak up for myself.Furthermore,pretending to be someone else gave me a sense of previously unknown confidence.Although I have a lot going for me right now,I will never forget the struggles I had to overcome when I was younger.This is why,whenever I see someone struggling or standing by themselves,I always invite them to sit with my friends and me.I may not be able to give them my full attention all of the time,but the main point is to let them know someone recognizes their existence and is willing to connect with them.（1）（2分）Which of the following is true about the author according to the first two paragraphs? A．Others couldn't understand him.B．He argued with others often.C．He envied the rich very much.D．He had many interesting hobbies.（2）（2分）When did the author begin to feel self-confident?A．In Grade Seven.B．In Grade Eight.C．In Grade Ninth.D．In Grade Ten.（3）（2分）How does the author help those struggling or standing by themselves?A．By inviting his friends to accompany them.B．By asking them to sit with his friends and him.C．By persuading them to overcome their problems.D．By giving them his full attention all of the time.（4）（2分）What does the author intend to tell us?A．How to get on well with othersB．How to make friends with others.C．How to get rid of shyness gradually.D．How to grow up in a healthy way.3．（8分）阅读理解Lawns（草坪）are some of the most common things in the world until you really start thinking about them.That's when you realize that they make no sense.Why do people keep these uninteresting,pointless little plants outside their homes?They're not beautiful like flowers,they don't provide food and you have to take care of them constantly.Israeli bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari thought these deeds were weird too.He looked into their history and ended up with an interesting story.No one considered putting patches of grass outside their homes in ancient times.That changed in the Middle Ages,when French and English kings and nobles started putting patches of grass at their castle entrances.“Well-kept lawns demand land and a lot of work,”wrote Harari in his book.“In exchange,they produce nothing of value.”Peasants could never afford to waste their time or land on lawns,so these lawns were a perfect status symbol（身份的象征）for nobility（高贵）.When the Industrial Revolution began in the18th and19th centuries,the middle classes started being able to afford their own suburban（郊区的）houses.And guess what became the suburban status symbol?A perfectly kept lawn.The popularity of lawns continued to grow,taking over public event spaces and sports.In the past, people played sports on all kinds of surfaces—dirt,ice,sand.But in the last couple centuries,they made the switch to green grass.“Grass is nowadays the most widespread crop in the USA after corn and wheat,”Harari continued. Lawns spread beyond Europe and the U.S,and they're now status symbols around the world.Suburban people may not realize it,but they care for lawns just because centuries ago,French and English kings wanted to show off by intentionally planting something useless.It's strange that people should continue to spend so much time and money on what's really a leftover（遗留物）from the Middle Ages.When you plan your house,you can shake off（摆脱）the cultural leftover and imagine for yourself a rock garden or some other new creation.（1）（2分）What does the underlined word“weird”in paragraph2probably mean?A．strange B．ordinary C．beneficial D．attractive（2）（2分）What could lawns indicate in the19th century?A．Environmental awareness.B．People's taste.C．Cultural background.D．Personal wealth.（3）（2分）What is the author's attitude towards keeping lawns?A．Uncaring.B．Disapproving.C．Favorable.D．unclear.（4）（2分）What might be the best title for the text?A．The Function of Lawns B．The Value of LawnsC．The History of Lawns D．The Management of Lawns4．（8分）阅读理解As more and more schools rush to put digital devices（数码设备）in the hands of every student,many parents are becoming increasingly concerned about the quality of their children's education.The promise of increased student academic（学业上的）achievement through the use of technology hasn't produced any significant results in the past20years.Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles conducted a study in2014to determine if the social skills of elementary students were blocked by screen time.Two groups of sixth grade students were compared.One group was sent to an outdoor camp for one week with no screen time,while the control group live life as normal.After one week,the students at camp had made significant improvements over their peers（同龄人）.The good news is that when we limit access to screen time and give children the opportunity to interact face to face,they quickly become better at reading the emotional state of others.The bad news is that we have a generation of children that struggle with this basic emotional intelligence skill.Too much screen time has been linked to childhood obesity,sleep disorders,behavior problems,andacademic challenges.But is there a difference between schoolwork and entertainment media?When students are using technology for academic work they are more likely to be communicating with peers,working cooperatively,and developing other important skills.However,all these are impossible when students watch entertainment media.They just sit and watch!Parents have right to be concerned about their children's screen time at school,but they should begin by discussing the use of digital media at home.Some parents are continuously engaged in their own devices, responding to every ring of their phones,receiving and sending messages.How can they expect their children to do better?（1）（2分）What was the schools'initial（最初的）intention of using digital devices?A．To improve students academicallyB．To help students develop socially.C．To make school life more entertaining and colorful.D．To make sure students get technological education.（2）（2分）What aspect of children worries the writer a lot?A．Lacking guidance on proper screen time.B．Lacking chances to communicate with others.C．Lacking interest in improving their study.D．Lacking skills in reading others'emotional state.（3）（2分）What attitude does the writer have to the use of digital devices in schoolwork? A．Positive.B．Concerned.C．Negative.D．Uncertain.（4）（2分）From the passage,we can learn that________.A．parents shouldn't oppose schools in their educational approachesB．some parents may set a bad example to their children in using digital mediaC．the screen watching time shouldn't be longer than2hours for studentsD．it's wrong for schools to focus on technological education二、任务型阅读(共1题；共10分)5．（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。
