ABeard Telling the TruthA Jihadist attempted to flee Mosul in a disguise (假扮) similar to a dumb madam but was caught. The ISIS fighter was trying to get away from the former militant stronghold (基地) as the city was recaptured, but didn’t get his escape plan right. Dressed in women’s clothes and with cautious make-up, the bearded man forgot to get rid of his facial hair. In photos released by the Iraqi army after his capture, the man can be seen to have slathered on(厚厚地涂抹) powder, eyeshadow and lipstick, and even added some beauty spots.Fall in UK University ApplicantsThe number of people applying for UK university places has fallen by more than 25,000 (4%) in 2016 compared with that of 2015, data from the admissions service UCAS show. The figures show a sharp decline in those applying to study nursing courses —down 19%—and a continued fall in the number of mature students, notably in England and Northern Ireland. The number of EU students planning to study in the UK has fallen by 5%. It is the first decline since fees were last increased in England in 2012.Unusual Homework AssignmentsStudents at a university in Southwest China’s Sichuan province received a very unusual homework assignment for the summer: convey their affection for someone they like. The eye-catching assignment was posted on the website of the Chengdu College of Arts and Sciences, together with other assignments, such as traveling to another city, attending a concert, and drawing a self-portrait. Posts related to the creative homework assignment have been forwarded over 10,000 times and liked by close to 28,000 people on Weibo.21. Why did the fighter fail to make the escape plan a reality?A. Because he forgot to shave off his beard.B. Because he made up himself as a dumb lady.C. Because his careless make-up betrayed him.D. Because his beauty spots made him eye-catching.22. The number of applicants for UK university places in 2015 is approximately .A. 25,000B. 26,402C. 408,500D. 625,00023. Students in the college are not required to .A. pay a visit to another cityB. show love for their beloved onesC. take some photos for themselvesD. be the audience in a musical performanceBMaybe you paint, keep a journal or knit. Or maybe you play bass in a punk rock band. Whatever hobby you have, keep at it. A little study published this week suggests that having a creative outlet outside the office might help people perform better at work.Psychologists from San Francisco State University found that the more people engaged in their hobbies, the more likely they were to come up with creative solutions to problems on the job. And no matter what the hobby was, these were also more likely to go out of their way to help co-workers.The researchers also surveyed a second group of 90 U.S. Air Force captains. The psychologists knew that these folks were already trained to solve tough problems, and help others-so they wanted to see if having a hobby affected their performance in any way. In addition to asking the officers about their own work performance, the researchers checked performance reviews from the captains’ co-workers and bosses.It turned out that for both groups, having a creative outlet boosted work performance. And that’s after the scientists took into account other things that might influence performance—like personality.“Some people have a personality that’s more creative,” Eschleman says. To judgehow naturally creative participants were, the researchers asked them, for example, to rate how open they are to new experiences and how much they value art.Behaviors at work and home strengthen each other. “It’s very possible that those who are performing better at their jobs also have more energy to pursue these creative activities,” he says. And, in turn, participating in creative activities may help people feel more energized and engaged at work.And while the paper doesn’t pin down exactly how or why your weekend comes into the wonderful world of soap-making might help your professional life, Eschleman says it’s likely because hobbies can help people learn more about their own strengths and weaknesses. “Creative activities really can provide you with the opportunity to learn something new about yourself.”Hobbies can also provide an escape from everyday stresses. “You’re using that time to recharge,” he says.So bosses should encourage employees to take up hobbies, Eschleman says. Maybe even consider hooking workers up with discount coupons for a pottery class.24. According to Eschleman, people with hobbies .A. will make efforts to improve their hobbiesB. are willing to offer their hands to othersC. like to do work in their own wayD. tend to avoid solving problems at work25. In the survey on some captains, researchers .A. trained them to solve tough problemsB. considered the personality of their co-workersC. asked their colleagues to comment on the captains’ workD. required them to solve some practical problems26. What Eschleman said in Paragraph 6 implies hobbies .A. engage more people in workB. need a lot of energy to pursueC. are the causes of creative activitiesD. help people move forward in a positive direction27. According to Eschleman, hobbies can make people .A. have a better understanding of themselvesB. create the opportunity to escape from learningC. take advantage of stresses from their workD. know the strengths and weaknesses of their workC“Sugar, alcohol and tobacco,” economist Adam Smith once wrote, “are commodities which are necessaries of life, which have become objects of almost universal consumption, and which are, therefore, extremely popular subjects of taxation.”Two and a half centuries on, most countries impose(征税) sort of tax on alcohol and tobacco. With obesity levels putting increasing pressure on public health systems, governments around the world have begun to toy with the idea of taxing sugar as well.Whether such taxes work is a matter of debate. A review of Mexico’s taxation found a fall in purchases of taxed drinks as well as a rise in sales of untaxed and healthier drinks. By contrast, a Danish tax on foods high in fats was abandoned a year after its introduction, during claims that consumers were avoiding it by crossing the border to Germany to satisfy their desire for cheaper, fattier foods.The food industry has, in general, been firmly opposed to such direct government action. Nonetheless, the renewed focus on waistlines means that industry groups are under pressure to demonstrate their products are healthy as well as tasty.Over the past three decades, the industry has made some efforts to improve the quality of its offerings. For example, some drink manufactures have cut the amount of sugar in their beverages（饮料）.Many of the reductions over the past 30 years have been achieved either by reducing the amount of sugar, salt or fat in a product, or by finding an alternative ingredient. More recently, however, some companies have been investing money in a more ambitious undertaking: learning how to adjust the fundamental make-up of the food they sell. For example, having salt on the outside, but none on the inside, reduces the salt content without changing the taste.While reformulating（再制定） recipes is one way to improve public health, itshould be part of a multisided（多边的） approach. The key is to remember that there is not just one solution. To deal with obesity, a mixture of approaches-including reformulation, taxation and adjusting portion sizes-will be needed. There is no silver bullet.28. According to Adam Smith, sugar, alcohol and tobacco were .A. profitable to manufactureB. in ever-increasing demandC. no longer considered necessities of lifeD. subjects of taxation almost everywhere29. What do we learn about Danish taxation on fat-rich foods?A. It brought a lot of problems on the border.B. It did not work out as well as it was expected.C. It could not succeed without German cooperation.D. It met with firm opposition from the food industry.30. What does the underlined part “silver bullet” in the last paragraph mean?A. A successful but complex solution.B. An effective and hopeful solution.C. A single easy quick way.D. A long way.31. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Efforts to make sugar healthy and tasty.B. Approaches to adapting to consumers’ needs.C. Different ways to cope with health problems.D. Government taxation on sugar, alcohol and tobacco.DThe three Asia Pacific airlines with the highest customer expectations of high quality in-flight Wi-Fi are all from China—Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines.A report released last month by Inmarsat, a London-based leading provider of global satellite communication services, said these airlines would lead the industryas they recognize the value of making in-flight broadband（宽带） available to passengers, who are increasingly seeing it as a necessity and a major factor when choosing an airline.“In order for Chinese airlines to win the competition and lead the connectivity market in the Asia-Pacific region, ensuring the availability of high quality onboard Wi-Fi is essential. This would differentiate customer experience and develop loyal customer relationships.”Currently, adults in China spend an average of 1 hour and 38 minutes daily, with their smartphones, according to data provided by consultancy eMarketer.The report found that 55 percent of respondents（应答者） from China said they were willing to give up their preferred airline in the next year if poor quality in-flight connectivity was offered.With airlines in every market racing to install or upgrade their Wi-Fi offering, passengers will have a choice for an airline that offers high-quality broadband, and will soon turn their back on airlines not offering this, according to the report, which surveyed more than 9,000 passengers worldwide in February.“Specifically, passengers in China are most conscious of the quality of in-flight Wi-Fi. Passengers in China look forward to the flexibility and freedom to continue the lifestyle on the plane as they would on the ground,” Gergye said.“Good quality Wi-Fi in the air is changing the way people think about flying. Whether using the time to work, to connect with friends and family, or to pass the time shopping or viewing entertainment, the availability of in-flight broadband has become a major factor when choosing an airline. It’s clear the opportunity that connectivity presents to airlines cannot be underestimated.”Meanwhile, passengers in the Asia-Pacific region are among the mostwilling-to-pay group globally for in-flight Wi-Fi, with 91 percent of them willing to pay on long-distance flights and 79 percent on short-distance flights. The report also found that more than half of passengers in the Asia-Pacific region would take advantage of the ability to purchase items from the plane and collect them on arrival at the airport, and one third of respondents said they would choose to have in-flightpurchases delivered to their home.Finnair has enjoyed the benefits of its onboard connectivity. Since June, passengers have been able to use Alipay and Wi-Fi on all routes between China and Finland.32. In which section of a newspaper can we read such a passage?A. History.B. Science.C. Fiction.D. Agriculture.33. What is the passage mainly about?A. A vital service: In-flight Wi-Fi.B. The introduction of the three Asia Pacific airlines.C. Comments of every aspect about the three Asia Pacific airlines.D. The preference of Chinese customers for airlines.34. While choosing an airline, passengers would take the following into accountexcept .A. the quality of in-flight Wi-FiB. the flexibility and freedomC. the lifestyle on the planeD. the appearance of the crew35. What does the second paragraph from the bottom imply about the passengers?A. They would choose to receive their deliveries at home.B. Over half of them will use the ability to buy items aboard.C. They may be affordable and ready to buy items while travelling.D. 91% of them will prefer to pay on long-distance flights; 79% on short.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。

ACountries may be rated by many various categories, such as how expensive or interesting they are to foreign tourists. Theycan also be rated by their openness and friendliness toward v isitors. You might be shocked to find out that, for example, the USA is number 102 on the list of the least welcoming places, 140 being the most unfriendly land.MongoliaMongolia was closed for quite a long time and opened up to f oreigners only 20 years ago. That's probably the major reaso n why it is not yet experienced enough in hosting tourists. The country is beautiful, with broad land that is low populated. Th e local people are not used to being visited by foreign guests. IranIran is not the best place to travel to. It is located close to Paki stan with its negative political atmosphere.

T he people, contrary to the country’s government, are very frie ndly and welcome visitors.KuwaitIn Kuwait people are warm and friendly. It has a unique histor y, plenty of traditions and customs. It is a Muslim country, whi ch means that you are not allowed to drink alcohol. If you hap pen to visit Kuwait during Ramadan(斋月), you will not be allowed to eat in public places, either.RussiaRussia is truly a special place. It is worth visiting it. However, one point that you might dislike is the corruption and bureaucr acy(官僚主义) in some certain official circles. Another point you should b e ready for is that, as a visitor, you'll be asked to receive an in vitation. Only then will you be able to apply for a visa. Once y ou arrive in Russia, you'll be warmly greeted and accepted. ( 292 words)1. What is the most important reason leading to Mongolia lack ing of experience in hosting tourists?A.

But apart from othe r small towns, it’s home to 1,400 people and hundreds of thou sands of books, making it the largest center for secondhand b ooks in the entire world.You won’t find a Barnes and Noble in Hay-on-Wye, but what you will find is over 30 charming and comfortab le secondhand bookshops rich with the smell of old books. Th ere’s a bookstore specializing in out-of-print children’s books. A shop called “Murder and Mayhem” se lls mainly crime and detective literature. And one outdoor boo kshop, the Hay Castle Bookshop, is built around the walls of a castle. How could a book lover possibly ask for anything mor e?One of the town’s most unique features is its “honesty books hops.” These are basically just bookshelves fitting out in the O pen, without a cashier or employee to speak of. A sign annou nces the prices of the books which are often less than one U. S. dollar and a collection box for money sits nearby. Custome rs are trusted to pay on their honor. There are no security ca meras or anything; just good old-fashioned trust.Apart from being a popular tourist destination for literary fanati cs throughout the entire year, Hay-on-Wye also throws a literary festival each year at the end of Ma y. Bookworms from all over the world come to this tiny village to hear famous writers speak, attend book signings, and, of c ourse, stock up(囤货) on reading material. And there’s plenty for the kids to read too! Here, your child grows up loving to read. (277words)5. What can be the best title of the passage?A. A small town with more books than people.B. Honest people in a British town.C. The most unique bookshops in the world.D. Bookshops — a good place for tired travelers.6. The small town has the following features except _______.A. It’s the largest center for secondhand books.B. All the bookshops there have no security cameras.C. There is a literary festival each year for book-lovers throughout the world.D. Customers to the honesty bookshops help themselves buyi ng books.7. In which column of a magazine can you probably find the p assage?A. FinanceB. FashionC. TravelD. HealthCIt is only praise or punishment that determines a child’s level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shap e our kids---particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negativeor positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a chil d “Don’t run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.”In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and ac t positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situation s, because they know what to do, and aren’t scaring themselv es about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference? It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预演). For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn’t be abl e to do it. When a child is told “Don’t fall off the tree,” he will th ink of two things: “don’t” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his min d. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tr ee ca refully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right w ay to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or h ow to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don’t y ou dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think I’ll feel if you drown?” The changes are small but the differe nce is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.8. Positive choice of words helps kids to __________.A. do things carefullyB. build up their c onfidenceC. improve their imaginationD. learn in diffe rent situations9. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. A child will act on what is instructedB. One can’t help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One won’t think of a blue monkey when given money.10. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?A. Fasten your seat belt.B. Don’t play by the lake.C. How do you think I’ll feel if you get hurt?D. Don’t you dare to walk through the red light?11. The main idea of the passage is that __________.A. praise makes kids confidentB. right instructions keep kids safeC. clear commands make kids differentD. choice of words can make a differenceDA customer waits to pay in an unmanned supermarket. With t he use of advanced digital payment technology, including biol ogical recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. There’s no cashie r in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym. Th ose people are using “smart machines” which identify people by their physical characteristics. These new devices use finge rs, hands, faces, eyes and voices. Some machines may even use smells. This new technology, called biometrics, gets infor mation from parts of the body.In the past, biometric machines were used mainly in governm ent agencies or in prisons. But now that the cost of the techno logy is lower, these machines are starting to be used everywh ere, from border services to schools.Some people, however, are concerned that these machines w ill mean the destruction of personal privacy. They worry that t he machines will get personal information about them. “I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy, but actually, biometric machines help to protect it,” says Jay Tarkett, who works at a company that develops the machines. “They can be used instead of passwords on a computer, for exampl e. They can also identify criminals at airports. So, really, they help to promote public safety, and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”Some people don’t like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals, and feel like they are bein g accused of something. In addition, they don’t work for some people, such as bricklayers(砖瓦工), who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition do es work well because the subject doesn’t really have to do an ything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an a utomatic teller. If the face matches the picture kept on file, the customer gets the money with no problems. The need to carr y identification with you from place to place, then, would all bu t cease. It has been found that the hand scan works well in th e college gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. T he problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new, and there can be problems. Fo r example, voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise, and can be tricked. Another restriction（限制）we notice, with machines that use face recognition in particula r, is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a l ot of weight. However, this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person’s iris(虹膜), the colored part of the eye. It can even identify the person from a few feet away, recognizing a customer as he or she a pproaches the ATM. (506words)12. What’s the author’s intention by presenting some example s in Paragraph 1?A. To stress how smart machines work.B. To bring in the topic of the passage.C. To show the popularity of smart machines.D. To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.13. Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fi elds?A. They are not as expensive as they were.B. They no longer invade people’s privacy.C. People enjoy face and voice recognition.D. Criminals are often hidden at airports.14. Why don’t people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A. They want to keep their mistakes a secret.B. They don’t want to damage their fingers.C. They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D. They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.15. What is the author’s attitude towards the new technology?A. Worried.B. Bitter.C. Optimistic.D. Satisfied.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。

辽宁省最新高三12月月考英语试卷后附答案第Ⅰ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,满分30分）阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AJoey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others’interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he’s an ideal friend and a heroic character.Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg’s new film War Horse.It is based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play.The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that’s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine) after Albert’s drunk father Ted (Peter Mullan) overpays for the animal at auction (拍卖会).Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe.Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astoundingand impressive.And with Spielberg’s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians—Saving Private Ryan.While that film shocked us with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes.Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not only Albert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane.Although none of this covers the fact that we’ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart.And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece—there will be tears.Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film “Saving Private Joey”, is entirely justifiable.21．In common with “Saving Private Ryan”, the film War Horse _________.A．is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killingB．received the title of Tony Awards Winning PlayC．tells the story happening in the Second World WarD．covers a lot of characters22．Which statement is true according to the passage? _________. A．War Horse is based on the same-titled novel by Steven Spielberg. B．Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people’s lives. C．Joey came to Albert’s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it. D．Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe.23．According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean? _________.A．confusingB．astonishingC．inspiringD．disappointing24．What is the best title for the passage? _________.A．Joey—a heroic race horseB．Albert and JoeyC．Spielberg’s JoeyD．Saving Private JoeyBLast July, we asked what you dream of doing as an adult. Thanks foryour great responses! We wish we had room to print them all. Here are just a few.Work and playMy ideal job is being a construction worker, but only on an amusement park.James Martian, Age 9 AlaskaRoyal Fashion DesignerIn the future, I want to sew dresses for a queen. I could make whatever design I wanted. Her breakfast dress would be blue and long. Her lunch dress is purple and medium. Her dinner dress is red and short. They would all have sparkles. I think they would be pretty. I like my dream job.Jenna Suchyta, Age 6 WashingtonA “Police Law Fireman”When I grow up, I want to be a policeman or a fireman or a lawyer because they help people. Maybe I will combine all three and become a “Police Law Fireman”. I can work as a policeman in the morning. I can do law things in the afternoon. I can do fireman things in the evening. But for now, I want to be a boxer to build up my muscles. I will need my strength!Avi Samuels, Age 7 IllinoisPlaying in the BandMy dream job is to become a professional guitarist and singer for my future five-member rock band.

The reason why I want to be a guitarist and singer is that I am very interested in music itself, so I want to create some of my own.Jake Francis, Age 12 Ohio25．What do you think is the best title for the passage? ________ A．Your dream job.B．Your dream.C．Your future job.D．Your great chance.26．Who has done something for his or her future? ________A．James MartianB．Avi SamuelsC．Jake FrancisD．Jenna Suchyta27．Where can you find this passage? ________A．In a fashion magazine.B．In a children’s magazine.C．In an entertainment newspaper.D．On a website.CJust saw the superhero movie, Kick-Ass, and it raised an interesting question: just because we are not superhuman, can we lead a super-heroiclife? I believe we can do it in some easy steps!Activate(刺激) our super powers.Superheroes are all good at different things. Some are really fast, some can see things others can’t, and some can move things with their mind. Also we all have special talents and passions. We just have to know what they are and develop them.Try this. List several things you’re especially good at—we’ll say these are your core super powers. Next, write down what makes each of your core super powers and look for chances to use them and improve them.Get a sidekick or two.Superheroes are out there all day, fighting the good fight. And who’s there to help? Every superhero has teamed up with someone else to defeat some enemies they couldn’t deal with alone.We need a support team: one or more who can be trusted and will help us when necessary. Our team members should bring different, constructive perspectives(观点)and all kinds of super powers. But we must choose wisely.Be brave and bold.Does it take more courage to venture(冒险) down a dark road or to face a life of no ventures at all? Both can be pretty scary. But we should be brave and bold just as some successful person said: “Have the courage tofollow your heart and intuition(直觉). ”Live the code.Superheroes die to protect others. They don’t cheat or lie or steal. They’re good role models, and they do the right things even when nobody is watching.Though nobody’s perfect, yet we should learn from superheroes and struggle not to disobey the superhero code. Turn a friend down who trusts me? Of course I won’t.28．One of the similarities between superheroes and human beings is that both of them________.A．are very clever and passionateB．have their strong pointsC．try to remove their own weak pointsD．know how to be clever and bold29．The underlined word “siedkick”in the passage refers to a person who________.A．tries to watch you all the timeB．is much cleverer than youC．has super powers to support youD．is ready to help you anytime30．What is the superhero code? ________.A．Don’t be a bad person.B．Be willing to lose everything for others.C．Try to be a perfect person.D．Satisfy the needs of the friend you trust.31．What is the passage mostly about? ________.A．How we can become a superhero.B．What a superhero should be like.C．How we can live like a superhero.D．Why we should learn from a superhero.DI have two kids, a boy and a girl. I don’t worry about my girl; I’m sure she’ll be well trained in mixed martial arts. I worry about my son. I’m pretty sure he’s going to be feminine (女性化的). Sorry to say that, but let’s face it. No dad wants his son to go feminine.At the rate we’re moving in a couple of years you won’t be able to tell the difference between boys and girls. Sound extreme? Think about this. In every movie where advanced time-traveling beings come to our planet, there’s one constant: You can’t tell the male aliens from the female aliens!But that’s the future. Kids today are soft and fat. People ask why. Is it junk food? No. Junk food has been around for fifty years. Is it video games? No. Video games have been around for thirty years. None of the kids playing them back in the day were terribly obese. We’re all scratching our heads trying to figure out what we’ve introduced to society to ruin our kids.But it’s not anything we’ve added that has ruined our kids. It’s stuff we’ve gotten rid of.Take the gym rope for example. Remember that thing that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in your gym class that you could never climb? Most of the kids couldn’t make it to the top. But that wasn’t the point; the point was you had to try while some middle-aged guy who couldn’t make it up a flight of stairs shouted at you. We should have put our son on that rope, and given him a head start. But we didn’t want to shame the boy, so we took it down.Taking down the rope would be a good idea if there were no ropes in life. But they’re everywhere. You just can’t see them. They’re in every goal unrealized and expectation not met. The point everyone missed about the rope is you weren’t supposed to make it to the top. It was there to create a fire that burned in the oversize belly of every kid.32．What is the example of aliens used to show? ________A．Girls are growing like boys.B．Boys are going feminine.C．There are really time-traveling beings.D．Alien movies are popular with children.33．What causes kids today to be soft and fat? ________A．Junk food.B．Video games.C．Stuff introduced to society.D．Things removed from society.34．How does the author find teenagers today? ________A．They have too much dignity.B．They are overprotected.C．They are less independent.D．They are thought too highly of.35．What does the rope probably symbolize? ________A．Goals.B．Expectations.C．Competition.D．Assistance.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.Starting university can be a costly experience for most people.

It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.W e were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” father stormed. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me” In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second to none.28. Which of the following can replace the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. shouted in relief.B. Burst into anger.C. Burst our crying.D. Jumped in sadness.29. What does the iron door between “us” actually refer to?A. Their misunderstandings.B. Their different characters.C. Their ways of thinking.D. The father’s rudeness.30. In the author’s eyes which of the following can be used to describe his father?A. Inconsiderate.B. Indifferent.C. Stubborn.D. Uninterested.31. What actually contributed to the opening of the iron door in the end?A. The son’s giving in to his father.B. The regret undertaken by the son.C. The affection between the father and the son.D. The light that was on until late in the night.DAlmost all children want to become a good student.But what makes a good student?Usually,a good student shows many characteristics.For example,a good student possesses knowledge that is not just about books but also about present affairs and others.This allows him/her to draw from whatever he/she possesses and use it in his/her studies.A good student can plan and organize not only his/her things but his/her thoughts as well.Moreover,he/she's also someone who is sincere and does his/her work well and smartly.Most importantly,a good student has strong academic resilience（韧性）.Namely,he/she's willing to stick to academic tasks even when problems arise.Let's say that 10-year-old Roger and Tory have nearly the same math skills.Roger,however,has higher academic resilience.So,when their teacher introduces a challenging new type of math problem,Roger is more likely than Tory to fight to master the new math skill due to his character.Being academically resilient is an important key in academic ing the previous example,Roger's success in the math skill isn't based on some natural "intelligence" or "talent" with math,but occurs because he has greater fortitude to learn the skill.So,when it comes to being a good student,one of the things you must do is develop your academic resilience.To achieve this,you should learn to ask for help.Actually,an important part of learning includes getting answers wrong. This offers a chance to clarify understanding.So,if something doesn't make sense to you,connect with your teacher, find a study partner in class or borrow notes from someone doing well in the class.Besides,developing a plan for academic and personal success is important as well.32.What plays the most significant role in making a good student?A.Possessing rich knowledge.B.Knowing how to organize thoughts.C.Doing work well and smartly.D.Owning strong academicresilience.33.How does the text explain academic resilience?A.By telling a story.B.By giving an example.C.By listing some facts.D.By analyzing causes.34.What does the underlined word "fortitude" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.Will.B.Access.C.Instruction.D.Decision.35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.A good student doesn't take notes in class.B.A good student doesn't need to ask for help.C.A good student should learn to develop a study schedule.D.Getting answers wrong is a must in making a good student.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。

When half of the population had got themselves out, the wooden staircases broke down. The remaining residents rushed to the roof of the third floor, which had not been touched by the flames yet, waiting for the firemen to rescue them. Firemen did arrive in a short while. But the fire engines and ladders could not reach the building as the alley was too narrow to allow the passage. The situation was critical, since the fire might burn the roof at any moment.

They can also take part in class from wherever they are recovering.Anyone who has had a long-term illness knows that recovering at h ome can be lonely. This can be especially true of children. They may feel left out. Now, these children may have a high-tech friend to help feel less alone. And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.The child can take part in classroom activities from wherever they are recovering—whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communication easy. It was designed to be tough. It is water resistant and can take a fall from a desk without damage.Inside AV1 there is a small computer connected to a 4G network. A small camera hooked up to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully, AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.28. How do children control the robot’s movements?A. By talking with the robot.B.

Easy Communication with ClassmatesD. The Function of a Little RobotDWhile dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately, scientists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing evidence.For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That’s because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not onlyon a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer “game” that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a hard time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies—dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.32. How did the scientists conduct the experiment?A. By mixing the selected dogs together.B. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.C. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.D. By showing digital pictures of women’s happy or angry faces.33. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dogs in the study?A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.B. The dogs couldn’t read strangers’ facial expressions.C. The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.D. According to their size, the dogs were given either upper or lower faces.34. The underli ned word “trepidation” in paragraph 5 probably means ______.A. curiosityB. horrorC. excitementD. doubt35. How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?A. They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.B. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.C. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.D. They would only tell the emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.第二节阅读填句（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。
