2019-2020学年广西某校高二（上）期末英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）第一节（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，共计 30 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑．1. According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do．It does not help them build self﹣confidence．Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children's self﹣confidence﹣the more, the better．However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children．If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best．"Teachers should not say things like'good job'or'nicework'whenever a child does anything．They should encourage them to continue to improve, "some researchers advise．Another idea is that children with high self﹣confidence are happier, and do better at school．About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self﹣confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able todo more．Finding a child's advantages （强项） and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can．"Praise also loses its effect （影响） if it is given equally to all students．"It's important to tell children the truth about what they've done．Honest feedback （反馈） is far better than empty praise, "Duke adds．"People have got into the habit of not telling children when they're wrong．That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up．That's just how the world is．"（1）According to some researchers，if parents praise their children too much，their children will________．A always look for praiseB increase self﹣confidenceC become strongD do better in their studies．（2）In order to help children build self﹣confidence，some researchers advise parentsto________．A make them live more happilyB let them do more difficult workC help them do better in schoolD encourage them to improve．（3）Which of the following is TRUE，according to the passage？________A Praise makes children become successful．B Children don't know what they're really good at．C The same praise for all children has no meaning．D Duke thinks praiseis more important than finding children's strengths．．（4）What is the last paragraph about？________A It's important to have the habit of praising children．B Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible．C We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes．D What children with high self﹣confidence are like．2. Two weeks ago, a 5﹣year﹣old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank（存钱罐） onto the living room floor and immediately started counting． Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack．"That aroused my curiosity, " Jackie told CBS News． "Nobody messes with the piggy bank．" After observing Sunshine at work a few minutes longer, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings．"What are you doing with that money? " Jackie asked her granddaughter．"I'm taking it to school, " Sunshine replied． The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money． "I'm going to take it for milk money． My friend Layla doesn't get milk﹣her mom doesn't have milk money and I do．"Jackie's heart melted （融化） at Sunshine's words． Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms．Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the ﹩30 the kindergartner had saved． There are 20 kids in Sunshine's class and about half don't get milk． It costs ﹩0.45 a carton （纸盒）． The total adds up to about ﹩180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day． After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter's plan． To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate （捐赠） toward the cause． Within a week, Jackie raised more than ﹩1, 000． Now every student in Sunshine's class can get free milk for the rest of the year．Jackie said Sunshine doesn't see her kind act as a big deal． She was just trying to look out for her friends． "She doesn't understand the effect she's brought about, " Jackie said． "But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to．"（1）Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank？________A She wanted to play with the coins．B She needed to train her countingskills． C She intended to pay for her friend's milk． D She hoped to show off her savings in class．．（2）How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine's words？________A Touched．B Curious．C Proud．D Sad．．（3）In Jackie's eyes， what did Sunshine learn from the experience？________A Many hands make light work．B Two heads are better than one．C A friend in need is a friend indeed．D Nothing is impossible to a willing heart．．（4）What is the best title for this passage？________A Jackie's Piggy BankB Small Coins， Big DeedsC A MovedGrandmother D Piggy Bank and Carton Milk．3. Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java． Many people on the island had a disease called beri﹣beri． He was going there to try and find a ________．At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ （细菌） caused beri﹣beri． He raised some chickens．He didn't eat them, but made experiments on them． The local people were quite surprised at that． One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate ﹣ refined white rice（精炼米）． When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered． Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery ﹣ that some things in food could prevent disease． These things were named vitamins． The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins． Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person's food．Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat． If they don't, they can also take vitamin pills．（1）The underlined word "cure" in Paragragh 1 probably means________．A a medical treatmentB a kind of vitaminC a kind of germD a kind of rice．（2）Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens？________A To eat them．B To carry out his experiments．C To give the Javanese a surprise．D To make money by selling them．．（3）We can learn from the passage that________．A beri﹣beri was caused by chickensB the Javanese didn't like vitaminsC Christian Eijkman's experiment was successfulD the Javanese's disease was caused by a kind of germ．4. Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area ofa city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area． Not all historical buildings areattractive． However, there may be other reasons﹣for example, economic reasons﹣why they should be preserved． So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people． What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural （建筑上的） styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style． Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings． As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not influence its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area．It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt （破坏） the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too． Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas． I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative （保守的） and do not like change．Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to________． If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves． Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice．（1）What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph？________A Some of them are not attractive．B Most of them are too expensive topreserve． C They are more pleasing than modern buildings． D They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area．．（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the author？________A We should reproduce the same old buildings．B Buildings should not dominate their surroundings．C Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in．D No one understands why people speak against new buildings．．（3）By "move things forward" in the last paragraph， the author probably means "________"．A put things in a different place B choose new architectural style C rebuild old buildings in a new style D respect people's feelings for historical buildings．（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？________A To explain why people dislike change．B To warn that we could end up living in caves．C To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings．D To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas．第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分．满分 10 分）根据短文的内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Remembering names is an important social skill． Here are some ways to master it．●Recite and repeat in conversation．When you hear a person's name， repeat it． Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．（1）_______．●Ask the other person to recite and repeat．（2）_______．After you've been introduced to someone， ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you． Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names．●（3）_______Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make peoplerelaxed． Most of them will feel sympathy if you say． "I'm working to remember names better． Yours is right on the tip of my tongue． What is it again？"●Use associations．（4）_______．For example， you could make a mental note："Vicki Cheng﹣tall， black hair．" To reinforce （增强） your associations， write them on a small card as soon as possible．●Limit the number of new names you learn at one time．When meeting a group of people， concentrate on remembering just two or three names． Free yourself from remembering every one． Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names．（5）_______． Last names can come later．A．Go early．B．Admit you don't knowC．Sometimes just a few people show up on timeD．You can let other people help you remember their namesE．Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first namesF．Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusualG．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial第三部分语言知识运用（共三节；满分 45 分）第一节完形填空（满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A， B， C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑．6.

Harris, who at present serves as a defensive back for her school's team in California, has signed a letter with the intention of playing for Central Methodist University in Missouri. making her one of just a handful of women to be offered a scholarship to play a sport historically mainly for men."I had a coach who told me before that I would never get to the next level because I was a lot smaller and not as fast as the boys, so that moment taught me to never give up," Harris tells CNN.In fact, compared to what she's been fighting off the field, facing sex discrimination（性别歧视）in the sport doesn't seem like such a big conundrum for Harris.The athlete was diagnosed（诊断）with ovarian cancer when she was 18. She felt better two years ago, yet not before losing half her body weight and having her dream of playing at the professional level nearly destroyed."I always try to push myself every single day to let me go as far as I want to go," she explains. During last month's Super Bowl, Harris appeared in a Toyota commercial（商业广告）. In it, she worked on the field, fighting against players twice her size, lifting tires in the air, racing against the clock, as a voiceover（画外音）listed all of the things people had told the young star she couldn't do. It's inspiring, but for Harris, the attention she's receiving after making history is just more motivation to perform well."In the end, you've got to push yourself," Harris says."I'm going to focus on my goals. My final goal is to be excellent at a four-year university and become the first female NFI （National Football League）player. I know I can get there."（1）Harris's coach doubted her because of________．A the school's refusal to accept herB men's mental advantage over hersC her lack of determination to hold onD her physical disadvantage as a woman．（2）Which of the following best explains "conundrum" underlined in paragraph 4？A Problem．B Choice．C Weakness．D Disagreement．（3）What did Harris do in the Toyota commercial？A She fought against those players of her size．B She made herself praised all around the world．C She did something more than people had expected．D She inspired many young people to become ball stars．（4）What can we say about Harris according to the last paragraph？A She is excellent at university．B She is energetic and smart．C She is too proud to set her goals．D She is purposeful and confident．5.Antoinette "Toni" Harris is making history, on the field and off.The 22-year-old student from East Los Angeles College has become the first woman to be offered a {ull football scholarship.

One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of the group.（Other marks are used for ceremonies such as wedding and during times of war. Let's look at some different examples of body painting.Red is a common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life. Among the Masai of East Africa when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they join in a special ceremony（仪式）in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for joining in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks pretty.The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave. To show that he has killed a lion a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment（成就）. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men. The men paint their faces yellow and red. Then they add white and black circles and lines.

The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won't find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity's appeal to aid postwar Greece bad been so successful it had been flooded with donations. They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the RedCross shop, where I always find children's books, all 10 or 20 pence each.Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don't encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than £110 million a year, funding medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.（1）The author loves the charity shop mainly because of ______.A its convenient locationB its great variety of goodsC its spirit of goodwillD its nice shopping environment（2）The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ______.A sell cheap productsB deal with unwanted thingsC raise money forpatients D help a foreign country（3）Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?A The operating costs are very low.B The staff are usually well paid.C 90% of the donations are second-hand.D They are open twenty-four hours a day.（4）Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A What to Buy in a Charity ShopB Charity Shop: Its Origin & DevelopmentC Charity Shop: Where You Buy to DonateD The Public's Concern about Charity Shops3.There is no question that fewer teenagers are on the roads in the US.In 1978, 50% of 16-year-olds had got their first driving licences. In 2008, according to the US Transportation Department, it was just 30%. The number of those aged 19 and under with driving licences has also been declining since 1978, when 11,989,000 had licences. In 2010, it was 9,932,441, or 4.1% of American drivers.In the UK, 683,273 teenagers have driving licences—just 1.85% of total licence holders, according to Department of Transport figures from September 2010.But the decline in the US may have more to do with tougher tests and the introduction of the new rule in many states, which force drivers aged under 16 to be with licensed drivers of 21 years and older when driving.In recent years, the annual number of journeys being made by American drivers of all ages has declined clearly for the first time ever. Car use began falling in 2007, when average petrol prices almost doubled to ＄4.12 a gallon, and the economy became worse.But there are signs that it is getting back to normal and America remains a country on wheels. It has a higher number of cars per head of population than any other country in the world."Cars will always be a popular means of transportation in America. You have to take intoconsideration some places don't have access to public transportation. Cars are the only way some people can get around," says Kristin Nevels. This makes driving necessary in some rural states, where about twice as many teenagers are on the road than in big cities.（1）The underlined word "declining" in the second paragraph most probably means"______".A risingB droppingC improvingD holding（2）In recent years cars are used less than before mainly because of ______.A traffic jamsB harder testsC expensive petrolD worst economy（3） We can learn from the last paragraph that Kristin Nevels ______.A doubts the popularity of the car use in the futureB thinks American people cannot live without CarsC holds a confident attitude to the cars' future in AmericaD believes America should build up its public transportation（4）What can be inferred from the text?A The UK has more teenager drivers than the US.B A 15-year-old boy cannot drive alone in the US.C The US has very developed bus transportation systems.D Big cities have more teenager drivers than rural areas in the US.4.Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice's genes are so similar to humans', their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.Scientists at the University of California, Davis studied information from a data bank of mice's genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining—and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent."This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease," said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. "All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn't know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable." Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby's parents!Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7,000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mice's genes to those of patients.（1）How many hereditary-sight-loss-related genes were newly found?A 86.B 261.C 300.D 347.（2）Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems mentioned in paragraph 3?A To show the significance of studying mice's genes.B To prove mice's genes are similar to humans'.C To warn the high risk level of suffering them.D To explain how common they are among people.（3）What should scientists do first to unlock secrets of genetic blindness?A Compare humans' genes with mice's.B Recognize each gene's role ofhumans. C Set apart a gene of a mouse each time. D Figure out each gene 's function of a mouse.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A New Ways to Cure Sight LossB Genes Found Behind Eye ProblemsC Genetic Diseases Discovered in MiceD Humans Genes Causing Eye Disease二、七选五阅读5.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。

2019-2020学年北大附中实验学校高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhen it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didn’t know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BEven plant can run a fever，especially when they're under attack by insects or disease．But unlike human，plants can have their temperature taken from 3，000 feet away straight up．A decade ago，adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites，physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick wayto take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress．The goal was to let farmers precisely（精确的）target pesticide（杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field，which always includes plants that don't have pest problems．Evenbetter，Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye．Fixed on a plane flown at 3，000 feet at night，an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops．The data were transformed into a color﹣coded map showing where plants were running "fevers"．Farmers could then spot﹣spray，using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would．The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984，after only three years．Farmers resisted thenew technology and long﹣term supporters were hard to find．But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements（改进）in infrared scanning，Paley hopes to get back into operation．Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works．"This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States，" says George Oerther of Texas A& M，who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture，thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade．But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10years ago．4. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are ．A. facing an infrared scannerB. sprayed with pesticidesC. exposed to extreme sun raysD. inpoor physical condition5. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely，we can use infrared scanning to ．A draw a color1﹣coded mapB evaluate the damage to the cropsC. locate the problem areaD. measure the size of the affected area6. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of ．A. the lack of official supportB. its high costC. the lack of financial supportD. its failure to help increase production7. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ．A. full support from agricultural expertsB. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureC. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceD. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on cropsCOnce small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot.However, a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers to access far-off, larger markets. More time forfresh produce on grocers’ shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land, they developed cutin(蜡质), a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you’ll still find it across the plant kingdom. SmartTech discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the surface. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plantmaterial-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn’t require refrigeration.“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.8. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to ________.A. stress their need for preserving produceB. show their challenge in harvesting cropsC. express their wish to reach larger marketsD. evaluate their loss caused by slow transport9. What can we learn about SmartTech’s product?A. It is financially supported by FAO.B. It is intended to replace refrigeration.C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin.D. It is based on plants’own defence system.10. What will James Rogers probably focus on next?A. How to expand farms.B. How to earn more money.C. How to produce more tasty food.D. How to profit farmers in remote area.11. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. promote a productB. present a technologyC. advertise SmartTechD. introduce James RogersDIt is that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’ s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’ s because of the good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it full of zucchini(西葫芦).My sister-in-law, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red. That ’ s when she decided it was time to shareherblessings.She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began to ask everyone in the neighborhood like a politician, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “ Feel free to take whatever you want,”Sharontold her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later,Sharonanswered the door. There was the neighbor, holding some bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, “I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldn’t mind.”Sharoncouldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharonwas confused. Zucchini in her garden? They hadn’ t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables,Sharonsmiled, “ Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating or canning.”The neighbor looked atSharon, shock written all over her face.

I was in the middle of a sweet dream when a noise startled me． Bam! Bam! It sounded like a hammer pounding on a tough nail． Bam! Bam! Bam! Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again, making another invention．Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes, the noise changed． I sat at the edge of my bed and listened． Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch． Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep．I started dozing off, dangerously leaning to the left, when the ticking stopped． It was now replaced by a buzz, similar to the noise coming from a beehive in midsummer, only louder． I shivered． I'm allergic to bees! Even just thinking about it or hearing a bee﹣like sound makes me swell．"That's it!" I shouted, now wide awake． "I can't take it anymore!" I marched to the next apartment and knocked． My neighbor immediately opened the door． His curly brown hair tumbled every which way． He wore baggy striped pants and a loose raspberry shirt．"Hi, Lucy! What's up? " he asked．I pointed at my noiseless watch． "Do you know what time it is? "He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece． "Oh, my God! I didn't realize it was that late． I'm busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia（失眠）． It's almost finished． You want to see it? "I should have known． His last invention was supposed to ________ bad smells, but it was powered by rotten eggs．（1）What made the author sleepy again？________A The ticking sound．B His neighbor's silence．C The coming of thebees． D The smell of the rotten eggs．．（2）What was Charlie doing？________A He was fixing a broken clock．B He was inventing a wristwatch．C He was making a new machine．D He was working with the bees．．（3）How did Charlie feel when he saw the author？________A Frightened．B Surprised．C Disappointed．D Annoyed．．（4）What does the underlined word "annihilate" in the last paragraph mean？________A Tell apart．B Make use of．C Give off．D Get rid of．3. Researchers in Singapore found that eating mushrooms over twice per week could help prevent memory and language problems later in life．According to the study, published in The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, there is a unique antioxidant （抗氧化物质） present in mushrooms that helps protect certain brain functions．Researchers observed 663 Chinese adults aged over 60 whose diets and lifestyles were tracked from 2011 to 2017． In the study, the participants were asked how often they ate six different types of mushrooms: oyster, shiitake, white button, dried, golden and tinned． The findings showed that eating more than two shares of mushrooms per week somehow lowered the chances of mild cognitive impairment （MCI） by 50% against those who ate fewer than one share．MCI is a condition that can make people forgetful, affect their memory and cause problems with language, attention and finding the exact position of objects in space． Changes in behavior can be not very noticeable and not serious enough to be known as dementia （痴呆）．The scientists pointed out, however, that they have yet to put up a direct link between the fungi（蘑菇） and brain function．The researchers also acknowledged that since this study mainly relied on self﹣reported information on mushroom intake and other dietary factors, further studies may be required． Still, the lead study author Lei Feng is encouraged by their findings． "This relevance is surprising and encouraging, " Lei said．Mushrooms are one of the richest dietary sources of ergothioneine （麦角硫茵氨基酸）﹣ a substance which we humans can't make on our own．（1）What aspect of research did researchers mainly do in paragraph 3？________A Culture of diets．B Existence of MCI．C The types of mushrooms．D The benefit of eating mushrooms．．（2）What can we know about MCI？________A It can affect memory seriously．B It can result in language problems．C It can make people easy to be lost．D It can reduce the chance of forgetfulness．．（3）What is the result if students often eat more mushrooms？________A They love communicating with others．B Their thinking ability is quicker than the majority．C Their processing speed will be faster．D Their academic performance improves significantly．．（4）Where is this passage most likely from？________A A science report．B An advertisement．C Adult's literature．D Scientific fiction．4. BluePlanetII's latest episode （情节） focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures． Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs． Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic．Though it seems that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention． The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States． This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change． Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science．We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be． What we do know, though, is disturbing． Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year． Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it． One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies． Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis． By2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent．And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas． Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat． I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change． But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change． There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者）, at least so far． To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system．This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is． We know how to pick up garbage． Anyone can do it． We know how to deal with it． We know how to recycle． We can all start by thinking twice before we use single﹣use plastic products． Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag﹣when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference．（1）Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science？________A The plastics pollution research is too difficult．B Plastics have produced less pollution than coal．C The world couldn't possibly function withoutplastics． D Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up．．（2）How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3？________A By presenting solid statistics．B By citing quotes from leading experts．C By making a comparison and contrast．D By listing examples from his own experience．．（3）What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph？________A We reap what we sow．B The shortest answer is doing．C All things are difficult before they are easy．D Actions speak louder than words．．（4）What is the main idea of the passage？________A Ocean plastic is a global issue．B The oceans become choked withplastic． C BluePlanetII has left viewers heartbroken． D Plastics gain in popularity all over the world．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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Tai Chi is on the rise as more and more people discover the health benefits that come from regular practice．（1）_______ It's also a relaxing exercise that calms the mind while it energizes and strengthens the body． Many Westerners love Tai Chi because it provides a low﹣impact （低强度） workout that strengthens the belly and thigh muscles withoutputting any tension on the joints．Tai Chi is quite easy to learn． Many recreation centers and community groups offer classes，sometimes in parks and other public places．（2）_______ Wear loose﹣fitting，comfortable clothing when you go to class， and tennis shoes or shoes you don't mind standing and moving in．One of the major benefits of Tai Chi is that it's a sport you can practice for life．（3）_______ The strengthening and balance moves are hugely beneficial to their continuedmobility． Also， the slow pace of Tai Chi makes it a great stress﹣reliever． As you focuson your breathing and posture （姿势）， your mind can clear itself of its worries， and that does your whole body good．（4）_______ All you need is your own body and enough room to stand in． You can do Tai Chi on a mountaintop， in the desert， on an ocean beach， or in the middle of a forest．（5）_______ And it's a lot of fun． So next time you see someone doing Tai Chi， ask them about it． They just might offer to teach you the forms of this fascinating sport．A．It's a perfect outdoor activity．B．Finally， you'll keep a low center of gravity．C．Best of all， Tai Chi can be performed anywhere．D．Often these classes are free and open to anyone who shows up．E．It's the focus on energy that sets Tai Chi apart from other sports．F．With its gentle movements and focus on forms， Tai Chi is more than just a sport．G．In China， many elderly people continue to do Tai Chi well into their eighties and nineties．第三部分：英语知识运用（共三节，满分50 分）第一节完形填空（共20 小题，每小题1.5 分，满分30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．6.

But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. "A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety." Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. "It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking." Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident."To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders." Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.（1）People in Los Angeles are known for their love of ________.A carsB busesC subwaysD bicycles（2）Devon Fitzgerald finds it ________ to ride his bike in the streets.A safeB dangerousC boringD exciting（3）Devon Fitzgerald likes riding a bike better because ________.A it's much cheaperB it is full of funC it's safer everywhereD it's much easier（4）From the passage we know that ________.A riding in a "bike train" can help people feel saferB Devon Fitzgerald helped to create L.A.

It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties（朝代）in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred（神圣的）that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in. The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations（代）.Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques（古董）andtreasures in it.I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City.

People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices（香料）, cloth, valuable stones and gold.There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers（士兵）travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas.
