AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking myset.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase〞signed off〞in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.4. How does the another sound when telling the story ?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious〔难为情〕when the y’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories〔卡路里〕per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake〔摄入〕 jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass thana tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people_________.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.8. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore student than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the “year off〞 between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,〞 he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,〞 he said.9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.10. According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year______.A. arc better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.B. Make plans for the new term.C. Earn money for their education.D. Prepare for their graduate studies.DChoose Your One-Day ToursTour A—Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathroomsand Stonehenge —￡until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

（13）Unit 3 Fit for life一、阅读理解1. Darek Fidyka, a 38-year-old Bulgarian, had been paralysed from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted them into his back and regrew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step on a long journey.The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal(鼻子的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly regrows. "The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself, and put it into an area that doesn't repair itself," Professor Raisman said.Polish doctors injected the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka's spinal cord above and below the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appeared to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s, but this is his greatest success. "I think the moment of discovery for me was when I first saw a rat that couldn't control its hand put its hand out to me in 1997. That was an exciting moment, because I realized then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true."Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt — it might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realized.David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe."What you've got to understand is that for three million paralysed people in the world today, the world looks like a totally brighter place than it did yesterday," he said.1.Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A.The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.B.Cells in the nose can be easily transplanted.C.Cells in the nose reproduce rapidly.D.He just wanted to give it a try.2.Why did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?A.The nasal cells reproduced and spread quickly.B.The nerves from his ankle cured the injury.C.The nervous system in the spinal cord can repair itself.D.The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.3.What made Professor Geoff Raisman believe the nervous system can be repaired?A.His study on animals.B.His operation on a paralysed patient.C.His sudden thoughts about cells.D.His unusual experience with a sick rat.4.What do David Nicholls' words suggest?A.The world is becoming better and brighter.B.Paralysed people have the hope of recovery.C.The report of the breakthrough will be published soon.D.Researchers across the globe will carry out the operation immediately.2. The gut-brain connection is mostly known for its role in controlling the amount of food we eat, with the gut signaling to the brain when we've had enough. But a new study published on June 5 in a journal suggests that the gut-brain connection may also play an important role in forming memories about where places and objects are located in our environment. The new study was done in rats, but the findings could translate to humans.The gut and the brain mainly communicate through the vagus(迷走神经) nerve. Because this gut-brain axis is typically engaged only when an animal is eating, the researchers thought that this function could serve animals in remembering where good food was in their environment. This could be important for the animals to remember where they were, so that they could find that food again. Researchers set up several tasks that challenged the rats to find and remember either locations or objects around them. In one experiment, for example, the researchers shone a bright light that would be annoying enough to lead a rat to search for an escape. With a complete vagus nerve, the rats were able to remember where the location was if they'd previously found it and gone there.But if the gut-brain connection was surgically altered, the rats had trouble remembering where an escape location was, even though they had previously been there, the researchers found. Similarly, when the scientists had the rats try to find objects that the animals had previouslylocated, they had difficulty if their vagus nerve was blocked from sending signals.When the researchers looked at the brains of the rats that had altered vagus nerves, they found that there was decreased activity in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with specific types of memory. That includes helping the animal figure out its own position and that of other rats and objects. Specifically, the rats had decreased numbers of several proteins in the hippocampus that are responsible for creating new neurons (神经元) and connections between neurons. These proteins therefore also play a role in forming memories.1.What does the new study published on June 5 find?A.The gut-brain connection communicates through vagus nerves.B.The gut-brain connection helps you remember whereyou had a good meal.C.The gut-brain connection helps you remember youreally had a good meal.D.The gut-brain connection translates to humans.2.Why is a bright light used?A.To force a rat to find a way out.B.To frighten a rat to eat less food.C.To scare a rat to forget the location.D.To help a rat remember the objects.3.Which of the following best explains "altered" underlined in paragraph 3?A.Connected.B.Changed.C.Located.D.Found.4.Which of the following are responsible for forming memories?A.Guts.B.Hippocampus.C.Vagus nerves.D.New neurons.3. Belly (腹部) fat has long been thought to be particularly bad for our heart, but now, a new study adds more evidence to the idea that it may also be bad for our brain.The study, from the United Kingdom, found that people who are obese and have a high waist-to-hip ratio had slightly lower brain volume, on average, compared with people who have a healthy weight. Specifically, belly fat is linked with lower volume of gray matter, the brain tissue that contains nerve cells."Our research looked at a large group of people and found obesity, specifically around the middle, may be linked with brain shrinkage," lead study author Mark Hamer, a professor at Loughborough University's School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences in Leicestershire, England, said in a statement. Lower brain volume, or brain shrinkage, has been linked with an increased risk of memory decline.The new findings, published on Jan. 9 in the journal Neurology, suggest that the combination of obesity (as measured by body mass index, or BMI) and a high waist-to-hip ratio may be a risk factor for brain shrinkage, the researchers said. However, the study found only an association between belly fat and lower brain volume, and cannot prove that carrying more fat around the waist actually causes brain shrinkage. It could be that people with lower volume of gray matter in certain brain areas are at a higher risk of obesity. Future studies are needed to tease out the reasons for the link.A limitation of the study is that people who agreed to take part in the study tended to be healthier than people who did not want to take part, so the results may not apply to the general population as a whole, the researchers noted.1.What does the waist-to-hip ratio refer to according to the text?A.A measure of belly fat.B.A brain tissue of nerve cells.C.A calculation of body weight.D.An evaluation of brain volume.2.What does the underlined word "shrinkage" in the third paragraph mean?A.Risk.B.Development.C.Decrease.D.Recovery.3.What can we conclude from the research?A.Good physical health is important for good brain health.B.Unhealthy people are active in taking part in the study.C.Obesity of the old is closer linked with brain shrinkage.D.Gray matter is the brain tissue that contains nerve cells.4.Where does this text probably come from?A.Science fiction.B.Children's literature.C.An advertisement.D.A science report.4. Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extramoney set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. "Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers," she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family — and that's pretty powerful.1.What did Jennifer do after high school?A.She helped her dad with his work.B.She ran the family farm on her own.C.She supported herself through college.D.She taught her sisters and brothers at home.2.Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield?A.To take care of her kids easily.B.To learn from the best nurses.C.To save money for her parents.D.To find a well-paid job there.3.What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A.Her health.B.Her time with family.C.Her reputation.D.Her chance of promotion.4.What can we learn from Jennifer's story?A.Time is money.B.Love breaks down barriers.C.Hard work pays off.cation is the key to success.二、七选五5.Keeping Safe in Your House During a FireThough you may not think you'll ever fall victim to a house fire, it's better to be prepared toavoid panicking.

By using chopsticks before all the teachers．B. By writing a paper about chopsticks．C. By picking up and moving challenging articles．D. By being asked to take some written tests．52．The underlined word "versed" in the third paragraph probably means A．skilled B．delighted C．interested D．involved 53．The use of the knife and fork is increasingly common in Japan mainly because A．children are not taught how to use chopsticksB．Japan's eating habits are being westernizedC．it's convenient for kids to use the fork and knifeD．no celebrities use chopsticks correctly54．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The school pays much attention to traditional culture．B．Etiquette is more important than intelligence．C．The teenagers enjoy practicing chopsticks．D．The school is proud of their students' entering famous universities．55．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Chopsticks at Japanese Dining TablesB．Traditions over Stressed in JapanC．Traditional Chopsticks EtiquetteD．Some Japanese Students Faced with New TestsBMy elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gaveme important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult.For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I founda shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on the shoulder.Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should ever think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.56. What is the main subject of the passage?A. The relationship between Mark and Steve.B. The important lesson Mark learned in school.C. Steve’s important role in Mark’s growing process.D. Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.57. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach hisbrother?A. Respect for personal property.B. Respect for life.C. Sympathy for people with problems.D. The value of honesty.58. According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught hisyoung brother?A. Respect for living things.B. Responsibility for one’s actions.C. The value of honesty.D. Care for the property of others.59. The underlined word “knocked” in the second paragraph means ______.A. tappedB. beatC. struckD. trembled60. From the passage, we can infer the following statements EXCEPT that ______.A. Mark benefited a lot from Steve after their father passed away.B. Mark was not as excellent as his elder brother Steve.C. The small wood dog carved by his father meant a lot to Mark.D. Mark used to be a naughty boy in his childhood.CThe United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers are across or otherwise made to feel special.However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Roses are the Father’s Day flowers, red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.61. The United St ates is special in Father’s Day because .A. many people celebrate the dayB. only America celebrates the dayC. America makes it an official dayD. all men are honored in America62. At first, Father’s Day was fixed on June 19th because .A. Sonora honored her father’s birthdayB. Sonora’s birthday was June19C. It was decided by the president at that timeD. her mother died on June1963. How many years has passed before Father’s Day became an offi cial day since the father’s day was celebrated?A. 4B.10C.64. According to the passage, on Father’s Day, .A. people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathersB. only daughters wear red flowers to honors their fathersC. Children must go home to honor their fathersD. fathers are often honored in different ways四、汉译英1. 现在人们在许多方面摆脱了传统的思维方式。

How can she be in such good shape? Is it her good genes? (Her mother lived to 98.) Her daily salads and three-times-a-week workouts? Or might it have so mething to do with the retired lawyer’s second career as founder of a nonprofit organization?Scientists increasingly are finding that the answer—call it living with purpose, finding meaning in life or just engaging with something larger than yourself can be a particularly healthy pursuit. Living with a sense of purpose can improve the quality of those final years. Murray offers a vivid example of how to create a sense of meaning.Murray’s story began in 1984, after she had work ed 37 years as a lawyer and was starting to think about retirement. At 59, while traveling in Nepal, Murray found herself amazed by the children there. “They were poor beyond anything I had ever experienced,” she recalled in a self-published memoir(自传) years later. “Yet they were the most joyful little kids anywhere on earth.” She wanted to put the rest of her life into helping educate Nepalese children.Returning to Nepal the next year, she met Allan Aistrope, then a volunteer English teacher at the country’s only orphanage(孤儿院). The two combined forces, beginning with organizing college scholarships for four of the orphans. After another five years, they had launched the Nepal Youth Foundation (NYF), which by then was supporting several hundred scholarship students and raising 60 homeless children. In 1994, the two hired Som Paneru, a former scholarship student, as executive director. Murray has taken several steps to make sure the NYF will survive after the unavoidable loss of her presence. She handed over the presidency to Paneru in 2012. Now, she is busy as usual, leading lots of fundraising campaigns.4. How did Nepalese children impress Murray when she traveled in Nepal at 59?A. They were eager to receive education.B. They lived a very poor but happy life.C. They liked to communicate with foreigners.D. They were terribly interested in her memoir.5. What did Murray do first when she travelled to Nepal the second time?A. She helped four orphans go to college.B. She started the Nepal Youth Foundation.C. She volunteered to act as an English teacher.D. She sent 60 homeless children to the orphanage.6. Which best describes Murray?A. Confident and helpful.B. Energetic and selfless.C. Creative and professional.D. Kind-hearted and flexible.7. What’s the best title of this text?A. Exercise Regularly.B. Change Your Jobs.C. Travel to Nepal.D. Live a Purposeful Life.CNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, a teacher or a student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, eventually, the most concrete “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhymes, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it and “exchanging of views”, if there isn't ti me for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of life”. It is “a most appropriate approach to the truth of feeli ng”, and it “can transform your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must try out poetry-teaching. Those who don't like it should not be forced to convey that negative feeling to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.8. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ________.A. discuss it with othersB. analyze it by oneselfC. copy it down in a notebookD. practise reading it aloud9. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ________.A. to understand lifeB. to enjoy poetryC. to become teachersD. to become poets10. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A. More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.B. Poetry is more important than any other literature genre.C. One cannot enjoy life fully without a good understanding of poetry.D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.11. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best r eplaced by “________”．A. build a boothB. provide equipmentC. leave a certain amount of timeD. set aside enough spaceDWhich is better for Earth: an electric or gas-powered vehicle? The answer to this question might seem blindingly obvious. Of course electric cars must be better for the environment, because they don’t give off greenhouse gases as people drive. However, electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t perfect, and they come with their own set of polluting problems. Their batteries require a large amount of energy to produce.Batte ry production is just one part of an electric car’s life span. A study looked at the entire life cycle of an EV’s emissions(排放)，from mining the metals for the batteries to producing the electricity needed to power them, and then compared this with the average emissions of a gas-powered vehicle. The team found that when EVs are charged with coal-powered electricity, they’re actu ally worse for the environment than gas-powered cars.“Only when connected to the clean energy do EVs have an advantage over the gas-powered cars on a greenhouse gas basis,” said Colin Sheppard, an expert in energy and transportation systems. That’s why mo re and more countries are decreasing the power supply from coal. In China, the national grid is improving with more efforts in renewable energy. For example, it has twice as much wind energy capacity as the U.S. and it builds more solar panels per year than any other countries.Sheppard has modelled a future in which all cars are electric. “We want to understand what it might be like i f all passenger vehicles were electrified.” The model suggests that if all vehicles in the U.S. were electric, greenhouse-gas emissions would be 46% less every year. This reduction could be increased even further if those vehicles were using a technique kn own as “smart charging” in which cars are recharged at chosen times (often at night) to reduce the cost of electricity.In s hort, it’s far easier to argue for buying an EV than a gas-powered vehicle. But what about the cost? Aren’t electric vehicles too ex pensive for most people?12. In which case do EVs get more heavy-polluted than gas-powered cars?A Being powered only by batteries. B. Using coal-powered electricity.C. Starting to give off greenhouse gases.D. Replacing gas-powered vehicles entirely.13. How does Sheppard’s model show the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions?A. With a discussion.B. With an examination.C. With a comparison.D. With a questionnaire.14. What can be inferred from the text?A. China is making advances in renewable energy.B. Compared with gas-powered cars, EVs are at an advantage.C. There is still room for the development of EVs.D. It’s not a challenge to choose between EVs and gas-powered cars.15. What might the paragraph following the passage be about?A. Inventing green gas-powered vehicles.B. Developing environment-friendly grids.C. Getting rid of fossil energy like coal and oil.D. Making electric vehicles more affordable.第二节：七选五（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。

第三天一．美文晨读As a teenager，I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious outside，but I wanted to be liked inside.Once I left home to hitch-hike to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t easy，and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home，I was different，not so outwardly sure of myself.I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope，who was staying with us，was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren’t there. I told my mom，and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl，no one could replace me. I pointed out，“She is more patient and is neater than I ha ve ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful qualities，but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults—and there were many－I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.I became a searcher，wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure to act in ways that I didn’t like any more，and I was delighted who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place.Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special，no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be replaced.二．词汇训练1. Ba Jin was one of the best _____________ (当代的)writers.2. The oil market is enjoying a _______ (迅速增长).3.

That college students are mainly concerned about is employment and their dream is to have well-paid jobs which they can live their lives to the fullest. As for the farmers, they hope we can enjoy good and affordable medical care and that their children can receive good education. In my view, my dream is to be admitted to a good university and that I can be a person who make contributions to my country.四.阅读理解AAll plant cells are capable of taking up water. Even dead ones do to a certain degree. Absorption（吸收）of water by dead cell walls makes wood become larger. In common land plants, the living cells of roots take up most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist, however. Those greenish-yellow lichens（苔藓）you see on rocks in the high mountains have no roots. Half a billion years ago, when water plants started to enter the land, the first land plants did not have roots.Even among the flowering plants, one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are “the higher plants” because they evolved（进化）recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale（进化度）. In the Peruvian desert, there grows one of these rootless higher plants, a bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots, they would be of no use, because where the plant grows, it never rains. The plant gets its water only from the dew（露水）it collects at night, when its leaves cool off. Such rootless plants, of course, can be moved with ease, but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house, the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and so prevents dew from forming, and the plant dies. In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico, one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the insulation（绝缘物）of electric wires. These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they ever come in contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.1．Wood becomes larger because of _____.A．dead cell walls B．water entering dead cells C．the growth of cells D．the death of cells2．The “bromeliad” is a plant that ______.A．has useless roots B．is a pineapple C．can grow anywhere D．takes up water through its leaves 3．The most suitable title for this passage is “______”.A．Absorption of water by plants B．Rootless plantsC．Plants in the desert D．Higher plantsBSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support —money aid, material resources, and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.4. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can _______.A. make people live more easilyB. smooth away daily problemsC. deal with life changesD. cure types of illnesses5. The researches show that people's physical and mental health _______.A. lies in the social medical care systems which support themB. has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersC. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesD. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes6.Which of the fo llowing is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions” ?A. takes place ofB. makes up ofC. lessens the effect ofD. gets rid of7. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of_______.A. instrumental supportB. informational supportC. social companionshipD. the strengthening ofself-respectCThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．By contrast , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt (适应) change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．These feelings of insecurity (不安全) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing．We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．8．In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______．A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder B．grow up from his own achievementsC．face difficulties and take up challenges D．aim high and reach his goal each time9．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．D．Father’s salary rose from $5, 000 to $7,000．10．For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT _______．A．being curious about more changes B．being quick in self-adaptation C．having an open mind to new experiences D．staying away from failures and challenges11．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．It is not so easy to measure personal growth．B．To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable．C．There are only two ways to see a person’s growth．D．If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up．12．The best title for this passage should be ______．A．Facing New Challenges B．Growth—Product or ProcessC．Two Basic Ways of Growth D．Overcoming Internal Fears五．翻译句子1. 住得离商店这么远非常不便。

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L'Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist's showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). " From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras," explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.1.Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1 ?A.Optimistic.B.Productive.C.Generous.D.Traditional.2.What is Dali's The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A.One of his masterworks.B.A successful screen adaptation.C.An artistic creation for the stage.D.One of the best TV programmes.3.How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A.By popularity.B.By importance.C.By size and shape.D.By time and subject.4.What does the word "contributions" in the last paragraph refer to?A.Artworks.B.Projects.C.Donations.D.Documents.CAlthough there are filters (滤镜) which can change digital photographs to make them similar to a painting, obvious differences still exist.A brand-new painting AI has been made public recently. Much like the pupils of the old masters, the new AI studies the work of great painters like Vermeer and Van Gogh and learns to reproduce their works.The AI, named "PaintBot,,", is the creation of a team of researchers from the University of Maryland, the Bytedance AI Lab and Adobe Research.PaintBot can not only reproduce the work of different artists but create new works based on photographs in the chosen painter's characteristic style.To train the AI to imitate(模仿) a given artist's technique, the researchers would present it with between 3 and 10 reference paintings. With each reference painting it studies, the AI gradually learns to recognize the various characteristics of the given artist's technique, including the stroke(笔画) colour, position and size—along with the order in which each brushstroke should be made.PaintBot uses a technique known as reinforcement learning (强化学习). During the learning process, the AI would practice reproducing reference paintings, which it would then compare with the original work to see how similar the two were and if it was improving its imitation of the artist's style. It takes around six hours for the AI to learn to imitate a given painter.Once the AI has mastered a particular artist's technique, the researchers could present it with a new image to reproduce in the same style. The AI then uses what it has learnt to produce a new painting, putting down each brushstroke one at a time.After being trained in a given style, PaintBot takes only around five minutes to produce each of its digital masterpieces.The way that PaintBot's compositions are built up from thousands of individual brushstrokes makes the AI's works more realistic than those online filters.1.What does the author say about filters used to change digital photos?A.They do amazing work.B.They are out of date.C.They have different uses.D.They are not good enough.2.What does PaintBot need to do first before imitating a certain artist's painting?A.Learn the artist's techniques.B.Recognize the value of the painting.pare the painting with other works.D.Understand the artist's family background.3.How does PaintBot create works?A.It follows the given style.B.It learns from the researchers.C.It just imitates the reference paintings.D.It mixes techniques of different artists.4.Which of the following best describes PaintBot's paintings according to the author?A.Popular.B.Valuable.C.Advanced.D.Lifelike.DWinslow Homer was a famous American painter. Since Art History class in college, I had always admired his works and I was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting Snap the Whip. It always hung in my classroom until I retired from teaching.I thought it truly captured the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting, a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on the grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes!During my last year of teaching, there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends. She had been an art student before taking up education. Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she entered my room. So on my last day of teaching, after the students had left, I took the painting off the wall and walked next door and gave it to her.She was really surprised, but very glad to have it. I was delighted that she liked it and all thestudents she would have would treasure it as much as I had. We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. I was happy that she brought back this wonderful memory for me.1.Why did the author admire the painting Snap the Whip so much?A.He had a deep love for children and students.B.It was bought from a famous American painter.C.He appreciated the freedom and fun in the painting.D.It had also drawn the attention of the young woman.2.What is the painting about?A.Homeless children.B.The nature of children.C.Hard-working farmers.D.The pleasure of working.3.What does the underlined word "captured" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Recognized.B.Controlled.C.Caught.D.Influenced.4.How did the author feel when seeing the painting hung in the woman's room?A.Regretful.B.Painful.C.Proud.D.Pleased.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

（14）Unit 3 Fit for life一、阅读理解1. We are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation(突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation—not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they've also built houses on stilts (支柱) in coastal waters. "They are simply a stranger to the land," said Rodney C. Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. "We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders," Dr. Jubilado said. "I could see them actually walking under the sea."In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. "It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population," said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.1.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in Paragraph 1 ?A.Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.B.New knowledge of human evolution.C.Recent findings of human origin.D.Significance of food selection.2.Where do the Bajau build their houses?A.In valleys.B.Near rivers.C.On the beach.D.Off the coast.3.Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?A.They could walk on stilts all day.B.They had a superb way of fishing.C.They could stay long underwater.D.They lived on both land and water.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Bodies Remodeled for a Life at SeaB.Highlanders' Survival SkillsC.Basic Methods of Genetic ResearchD.The World's Best Divers2. Tom Macdonald would describe himself as pretty relaxed — unless he sees the doctor. Then, suddenly, his blood pressure(血压) rises."I was a truck driver, and I would be under pressure all day, dealing with traffic and long journeys to make sure we were on time," said Tom. "But I never got worried about work. Yet medical settings made me very nervous."This wasn't a problem until last year when Tom developed an umbilical hernia (疝气). His doctor told him although it was not serious, if left untreated, a hernia can cause bad results. However, Tom's situation created problems. "When I had my blood pressure taken in hospital, the doctor told me that I wouldn't be able to have the surgery because it was so high."Surgery for patients with high blood pressure can be risky. But when Tom's blood pressure was taken later, the top number fell to below 140 high, but not high enough to prevent surgery. "Soon afterwards, my doctor told me that I suffered from white coat syndrome(综合征). He explained it was seeing a doctor or being in a hospital that caused my blood pressure to rise even if it is usually normal.""The main difficulty with white coat syndrome is that it only happens in a medical setting, which means you can't really treat it," says Professor Peter Sever. "You can't send a patient away with medicine because once he gets home and takes it, his blood pressure is going to fall through the floor." The good news is that many people do gain control over the syndrome; knowledge can make a difference. "For some people, if they know they have it, they do seem to be able to take some control over it and it can improve," says Professor Sever.Many hospitals now have methods of solving the problem of white coat syndrome. They include the Will Adams NHS Treatment Centre in Gillingham, Kent, where Tom finally had his hernia repaired earlier this year.1.What caused Tom to get worried?A.Traffic jams.B.Long journeys.C.Medical settings.D.Heavy work.2.What prevented Tom having the surgery at first?A.His white coat syndrome.B.His doubt about his doctor.C.The seriousness of his hernia.D.The fall of his blood pressure.3.What's the best way to deal with white coat syndrome?A.Taking some medicine.B.Avoiding going to hospitals.C.Getting treatment at home.D.Fully knowing the syndrome.4.What can we know about the result of Tom's treatment?A.It's creative.B.It's satisfying.C.It's unexpected.D.It's disappointing.3. We have a sweet teeth. That makes sense. All animals need sugar to live. It's the fuel that powers our cells. So it's not surprising that we're born to want the sweet stuff.Sugar stores energy like a battery. After a meal, your body breaks down foods. It uses some sugar for energy right away. The rest gets stored for the body to break down later. It's a myth that sugar makes you extremely excited, but having a sugary snack can give you a quick burst of energy. That's because the sugar in sweet foods is easy for your body to turn into fuel. When you eat other kinds of foods, like vegetables, it takes longer for your body to break the sugars down.These days it's easy to find sweet snacks. Sodas, candies, cakes and even foods that seem healthy, such as yogurt, can be packed with sugar. Food makers add sugar, because they know that to humans, sweet makes everything taste better. Americans eat about 20 teaspoons of extra sugar every day. That's more than what is good for us.Eating too much sugar can cause more than a stomachache. It can make people overweight, decay the teeth and even cause diabetes. However, experts aren't worried about naturally sweet foods — the problem is added sugar. So go ahead and enjoy a sweet apple or even a sugar-rich carrot that is also full of vitamins and other good stuff.Even cake is great once in a while, as long as you don't overeat it. After all, no one wants life to be dull. And your body needs its fuel!1.Why may people be tricked into eating too much sugar?A.Because no one wants life to be boring.B.Because we're born to want the sweet stuff.C.Because so-called healthy food can be packed with sugar.D.Because sugar is the fuel for the plants and animals on the Earth.2.What does the author want to stress in Para. 4?A.We'd better say no to sweet foods.B.Experts are worried about added sugar.C.Eating too much sugar is bad for our health.D.We'd better consume sugar from natural sources.3.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Be Smart about SugarB.Sugar Brings HappinessC.Why Does Sugar Taste So Good?D.Why Does Sugar Make Us Fat?4. As early as 2005, there were a number of new stories about dog cloning and cat cloning. Animal cloning had been old news for nearly a decade by then, with the revolutionary(革命性的) cloning of Dolly the sheep in Scotland.However, Snuppy was the first pet, a dog, to be cloned. Since the cloning of Snuppy, there has been some very successful cloning of pets and other animals. Lou Hawthorne started BioArts while cloning his beloved mixed-breed dog Missy. Hawthorne was very pleased with the results of the cloning, producing three successful clones that were very alike to the original in character and behaviour. In January, 2009, a Florida couple, Ed and Nina Otto, announced that they had paid to have their dog cloned by BioArts.All new technology is overpriced. For example, personal computers were not very affordable at first. Only after the producing process was improved was it possible for every family to have a computer. How much room there will be for organizations to reduce the price point on pet cloning without broad demand is of course questionable.There are many great dogs and cats that can be found at the local pound(收容所) or are given away for "free to good homes" in classified ads(分类广告). However, there is no limit to the value people place on a beloved pet. The Ottos are a good example of that. If people can buy a dog or cat with predictable behaviour and characteristics, there is value in that. There is a predictable market here, though it may always be limited in size.While pet cloning has not taken off as some hoped, it's clear that it will become a bigger market in the future and it will be increasingly possible for people to try this out. With the inevitable(不可避免的) success that cloned pet owners will have, the practice will become more widely accepted and it seems inevitable that there is a future for cloned dogs and cats.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.The brief introduction of pet cloning.B.The behaviour of cloned animals.C.The cases of pet cloning.D.The history of pet cloning.2.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Pet cloning will be accepted by everyone.B.New technology of pet cloning will be invented.C.Human cloning may one day become a reality.D.The price of pet cloning may not be cheap.3.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in the third paragraph?A.Cheap.B.Wonderful.C.Expensive.D.Various.4.What does the author think of the market of pet cloning?A.Negative.B.Unclear.C.Indifferent.D.Optimistic.二、七选五5.

The stranger saved her 7-month-old daughter, Calli, from 1 while her family was eating dinner at Golden Corral. According to Hannah's post, a quick-thinking woman named Debra acted fast when she saw Calli choking on a bite of potatoes."I immediately 2 my daughter out of her high chair and started pounding (反复击打) on her 3 , but I wasn't doing it right and so I started to 4 ," Hannah told POPSUGAR.
