One of the stories is about a horrible beast. When hungry, it would leave its home and change itself into a beautiful horse waiting for some unlucky travelers to climb on its back. Then it would jump straight into the Loch and feed on its victims.Most people think that the Loch Ness monster first appeared in the 1930's and it is since that time that the Loch has become famous.。

AAmsterdam, the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands, is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museum, cycling culture, and Red Light District. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot. Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South Dis trict, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rental cars before you book.1.Which attraction was built with the original purpose of drawing the rich?A.Albert Cuyp Market.B. The Ann Frank House.C. The Van Gogh Museum.D. The Canal Ring.2. Which means of transportation is not advisable in Amsterdam according to the passage?A. The plane.B. The train.C. The car.D. The bike.3. Which way can help visitors save money in Amsterdam?A.Seeing the tulips blooming in spring.B. Avoiding accommodating downtown.C. Buying car tickets at the machine.D. Hiring a local tour guide.BAn Arizona woman who was attacked by a zo o’s jaguar(美洲虎) over the weekend has apologized and admitted she crossed a safety barrier(栅栏) to snap a photo.The woman Leanne told CBS News that she leaned over the barrier at Lichfield Park’s Wildlife World Zoo on Saturday, but she refused to admit she climbed over it as the zoo has said.“I never passed the barrier, but I do admit to leaning over the barrier,” she told the news network.The woman had injuries that were not life-threatening to her arm after the big cat caught onto her through a fence. A fellow park goer got the cat to release its painful grasp by distracting the animal with a plastic water bottle.Mickey Ollson, the director of Wildlife World Zoo, told ABC that the jaguar won’t be harmed because of “human behavior”. He added that this wasn’t the first time that the animal has injured a guest who got too close, however. It’s not clear whether the park plans to re-evaluate the barrier around the exhibit, which has been described as a 3-foot wall. Leanne hopes that they will.“I was in the w rong for leaning over the barrier, but I do think the zoo should look into moving their fence back,” she told CBS News. “I’m not the first, and if they don’t move the fence, I’m probably not going to be the last.”Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, also urged the zoo and other parks to be cautious enough when it comes to separating the animals from people.“When various types of exhibitors promote all sorts of close meeting with wildlife, people get the mistaken idea that wild animals are approachable,” she said in a statement. “We urge the zoological community exhibitors to set a higher standard to protect people and to respect wildlife from a safe distance by doing away with public contact opportunities with wildlife of all species.”4.How did Leanne free from the danger of the jaguar?A.The zoo director helped her to get away from it.B.The jaguar was attracted by a bottle and let her go.C.Another park goer hurt the jaguar and it ran away.D.Leanne herself struggled with it and scared it away.5. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A. Human behavior cannot have any influences on the jaguar in the zoo.B. The jaguar tends to attack the guests unexpectedly however far they stay.C. Leanne is doubtful whether the barrier around the exhibit is safe enough.D. The zoo has ensured the barrier will be evaluated again after the accident.6.What did Kitty Block advise the zoo and parks to do?A.Be very cautious to separate the animals from people.B.Look into moving their fence back and clear the barrier.C.Set a higher standard to build up a zoological community.D.Encourage people to have frequent meetings with wildlife.CRobot vacuum cleaners aren’t a new concept, having been around for more than 15 years, but they have become greatly more helpful since the days of catching on rug hairs, running out of battery mid-clean and forgetting where they were.But the next generation of disc-shaped floor-cleaners could bring some of the most important upgrades yet, including being more autonomous than ever and knowing exactly where they are in your home and where you need them to be.iRobot’s latest Roombas, the i7 and i7+, shown off at a recent event in Tokyo, will be arriving in Australia in the coming months. Their key new feature: persistent mapping of your home. The ability to map not only makes the robot quicker and more efficient, but lets it integrate(融入) more closely with smart homes. Once it’s explored your house a few times, the i7 will present you with a map via its smart phone app, which Angle says tends to be “maybe 80 per cent right”.As the robot travels around cleaning up dust, it draws a floor plan and uses a sensor(传感器) to identify landmarks and objects. Unlike previous models, the i7 remembers this information, meaning it will learn the most efficient paths around your home over time.If you change the layout of your furniture, it will adapt the existing map rather than having to create a whole new one and if you have a multi-storey house, it simply makes multiple maps, and use s its learned landmarks to determine which floor it’s on (you’ll still need to carry it up the stairs).iRobot’s CEO and founder Colin Angle says the i7 class, the company’s 10th generation Roomba, is the robot he’s always wanted to build; capable of keeping a home’s floors clean with virtually no user input needed.“This robot has 30 times the processing power of its former generation,” he says. “So we’re fully into a situation today where we can be running machine learning and visual object recognition technology and very advanced algorithms(演算法; 运算法则)on the robot, to allow it to continue to work on increasingly complicated code.”7.According to the passage the robot cleaners invented 15 years ago could ______.A. catch on the hairs on the rugB.charge the battery mid-cleanC.draw the map of the homeD. know their exact home position8. The underlined word “layout” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.A.arrangementB. designC. styleD. size9. Which of the following statements about the i7 and i7+ is true?A.i7 remembers the identified landmarks like former models.B.They can enter the room upstairs themselves and clean it.C.They can do better in math than the previous cleaners.D.i7 can present a map exactly via its smart phone app.10.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Technologies in the Cleaner.B. The Future of iRobots.C. The Development of iRobots.D. The Latest Robot Cleaner.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。

太原五中2019—2020学年度第一学期阶段性检测高三英语出题人、校题人：史海玲荆晋慧张旭军王轶芳郝媛(2019.10.9)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）(A)Many of us know about Russia’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lake Baikal. But over the past decade, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions.The 26-mile (41. 84-kilometers) journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent. “Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space,” The New York Times noted.Th e landscape might be beautiful, but it’s also harsh. Strong winds blast (侵袭) across the lake and frostbite (冻伤) can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.“When you are in such an environment, you don’t have cars around you, you don’t have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature,”Alicja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC News.The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon. The finish line is visible from the start. But the endless white offers no progress markers. The race also ends with little fanfare (喧闹). Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping series (自拍) and just ignore the runners.For some runners, the absence of spectators makes the ra ce more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Bai kal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself,” Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.1. What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the text?A. It takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.B. It involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.C. It attracts more and more participants each year.D. It is about 26 kilometers in length.2. How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons?A. Only men are allowed to run in this race.B. The runners can see the finish line from the start.C. The runners are often distracted by tourists.D. There are many progress markers on the ice.3. What is the most difficult part of the race for Messina?A. Loneliness.B. The long distance.C. The cold climate.D. Noisy surroundings.(B)In 1972, a social worker named Sanjit Bunker Roy founded Barefoot College in Tilonia, Rajasthan. Today the college trains women from villages for six months to build and maintain solar panels and other instruments. Barefoot College also offers education to the younger generation both during the day and at its solar bridge schools that meet by lamplight at night.The philosophy of Barefoot College is largely inspired by the principles of Gandhi, starting with equality beyond caste (种姓), gender or religion. As a matter of fact, women are prioritized (优先考虑) as an underserved population that is essential to bringing villages together. Another central principle of the college is self-reliance, teaching students to support and think for themselves.After the college’s female students have completed their half-year of training, they return to their villages where they wait for solar panel parts to arrive from the college. Once they have all the pieces they need, they construct the panels and begin collecting solar energy. For each village, the college also provides solar lamps. Villagers can, in addition, order parts for other solar-powered devices, such as water heaters and cooking stoves. Once assembled, they and the lamps are powered by the solar panels.The effect on the villages is huge. Before the solar panels and lamps arrived, villagers had only candles to light their homes. This prevented adults from doing serious work at night, and it made studying difficult for children as well. As for physicians, they had difficulty treating patients and performing operations at night because they had to rely on flashlights.Now there is power for not only the electrical appliances that the college provides but also devices like televisions, radios and computers. For the first time, the villagers can even connect to the world through the Internet.4. What does this text explain about the college?A. How it accomplishes its goals.B. How its global efforts are funded.C. How its founder hires employees.D. How it works with the government.5. Which idea is communicated by the college to women?A. They should be more involved in politics.B. They don’t have to depend on others.C. They aren’t educating their daughters enough.D. They focus too much on their communities.6. Which role do the women play after they return to their villages?A. They’re merchants.B. They’re composers.C. They’re technicians.D. They’re journalists.7. In the past, what was hard to provide in villages after dark?A. Dry shelterB. Clean waterC. Medical careD. Food supplies(C)高三英语第3页(共22页)高三英语第4页(共22页)Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are that you would prefer Watson, right? But why?“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ” Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study.In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf” and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump”and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加剂) with an easier name as safer and a stock with an easier name as more lucrative (利润丰厚的)，according to Medical Daily.But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone comes from. For example, a native British ma n may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). It’s not just unfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts, and it can sometimes have serious consequences.For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let go of qualified job candidates due to their “difficult” names.Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?8. What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?A. V olunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.B.

Volunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.9. The underlined w ords “this effect” in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect ______.A. names have on peoples judgmentsB. gut feelings have on people from different placesC. of decisions made based on factsD. of people’s biases against certain types of people10. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. We should think twice before we make a decision.B. The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.C.

Names Affect ProductsB. Employers Prefer Shobha BhattacharvaC. Difficult Names are TrustworthyD. Easy Names Win Out(D)Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch”to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment. For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms (5%) of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime.“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the ana lysis, ”US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. “If something unusual happens --- if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock--- you can be alert, even though the intensity of the stimulus (刺激) is quite low.”More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution, and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.12.
