Employees can get high salaries．BWe've all had cases where we've waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or speeding ticket． But one man， from California by reasonable assumption， who goes by "Dave"， recently took procrastination （拖延） one step further， by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given．In December 2018， the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail． Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown， so he put the return address as "Wayward Road， Anytown California" under the name "Feeling guilty"．When the officers opened the envelope， they found a brief letter， along with a ﹩5 bill， and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974． The note read，"Dear PD， I've been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay． Forgive me if I don't give you my info． With respect， Dave．"Even though the initial parking ticket was only for﹩2， "Dave" must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent， or﹩3， in interest．Michael Combs， the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department， stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about﹩20 if it were given today． Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate．Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then，"Dave" could have gotten away with never paying the﹩2 fine． But apparently， guilt got the best of him， and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date．4.How much do we know about "Dave"？ ______A.

He didn't find it until almost half a century later．C. He failed to find out who he should pay the money to．D. He didn't pay for it just because of procrastination．6.What drove "Dave" to pay for the parking ticket at last？ ______A. A strong sense of guilt．B. Fear of being tracked by the police．C. Worry about being fined more．D. Sudden change of his financial situation．7.Which of the following can be the best title？ ______A. Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a StoryB. Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44-Year-Old Parking TicketC. Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road， Anytown CaliforniaD. Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from OhioCOne day when I was 12， my mother gave me an order： I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer． This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability to read．In the library， I found my way into the "Children's Room．" I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random． The cover of a book caught my eye． It presented a picture of a beagle． I had recently had a beagle， the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child． He was my secret sharer， but one morning，he was gone， given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him． I never forgot my beagle．There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical （相同的）to my dog． Iran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover． My eyes ran across the title，Amos， the Beagle with a Plan． Unknowingly， I had read the title． Without opening the book， I borrowed it from the library for the summer．Under the shade of a bush， I started to read about Amos． I read very， very slowly with difficulty． Though pages were turned slowly， I got the main idea of the story about a dog who， like mine， had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home． That dog was my dog， and I was the little boy in the book． At the end of the story， my mind continued the final scene of reunion， on and on，until my own lost dog and I were， in my mind， running together．My mother's call returned me to the real world． I suddenly realized something： I had read a book， and I had loved reading that book． Everyone knew I could not read． But I had read it． Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them．I never told my mother about my "miraculous" （奇迹般的） experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year． And years later， she was proud that her son had read thousands of books，was awarded a PhD in literature， and authored his own books， articles， poetry and fiction． The power of the words has held．8.The book caught the author's eye because ______ ．A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understandD. he liked children's stories very much9.Why could the author manage to read the book through？ ______A. He was forced by his mother to read it．B. He identified with the story in the book．C. The book told the story of his pet dog．D. The happy ending of the story attracted him．10.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？ ______A. The author has become a successful writer．B. The author's mother read the same book．C. The author's mother rewarded him with books．D. The author has had happy summers ever since．11.Which one could be the best title of the passage？ ______A. The Charm of a BookB. Mum's Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. My Passion for ReadingDAlmost every second of every day an older adult falls in the United States． That's approximately 29 million falls per year and nearly 27，000 deaths． according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention．Still in the stating stage， the Active Pelvis Orthosis （APO） system in Switzerland wants to make a lightweight， wearable exoskeleton （外骨骼） that could detect signs of balance loss and assist with balance recovery to keep the elderly wearer from falling， only when needed．Other exoskeletons， either in development or on the market today， assist with movement and make heavy objects feel lighter． Mobility-impaired people can walk again． But none of these devices predict what the wearer is going to do next and take measures to correct an unsteady move．The 3 kilogram （6.7 pound） exoskeleton was built entirely from scratch by the research team and is designed to be worn on the lower half of the． body． A waistband connects to two movable carbon fiber braces （支架）， each one positioned on the outer side of a leg． Tiny motors and so-called "adaptive oscillators" （适配振荡器） in the computer circuits use a special process to detect the， wearer's unique paces． That part takes just a few minutes．While wearing the exoskeleton， a person may feel the braces and the motors pushing slightly on their legs． If their paces go against normal， the motors create a force in the braces that cause them to stiffen up and push a little more strongly against the legs， which provides stability．In the next three years， the APO hopes to develop something that is commercially available．12.Why is the new exoskeleton invented？ ______A. To slower users' walking paces．B. To improve users' walking abilityC. To promote users' sense of balance．D. To prevent users from falling13.What's the feature of the new exoskeleton？ ______A. It keeps users warm．B. It is worn on the back．C. It helps users move around．D. It corrects an unsteady move．14.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about？ ______A. How the new exoskeleton works．B. Where the braces are positioned．C. How long it takes to detect the user's pacesD. What the new exoskeleton was built from．15.What is the purpose of the author in writing this text？ ______A. To call on care for the elderly．B. To introduce a new invention．C. To advertise new deviceD. To bring hope for the elderly．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you ever draw？ Most of us don't． The reason we usually leave drawing to the artists is that we're not very good at it． Who wants to do anything they're bad at？(1) ． Studies have found drawing has many benefits， artist or not． Here are justa few reasons for picking up a pen or pencil of any kind．It pushes you to be patient． We're used to things happening fast these days． Drawing is not fast． (2) That's OK． and as something comes together over time， you'll be reminded of the value of patience． Drawing is an object lesson that not everything good comes quickly， which is an easy thing to forget．(3) A few of my drawings are really kind of great．Í can look at them with pride． But plenty of my little drawings ate nonsense Or unfinished． It doesn't matter． I still have the experience of drawing and the benefits that brings． Even if you're not naturally "good" at drawing， you'll get better over time if you practice． (4) Your drawing doesn't have to mean anything or do anything useful， Sometimes you will even fail． No big deal．It makes memories stick， I draw in order to capture （捕获） moments from my life． I'm not great at drawing， but that's not the point． Sometimes I draw the view from the window of my hotel room-whether it's a great view or not． Remember， the idea is to capture the moment， not create a masterpiece． Other times I draw from my dinner table． (5)A． Take the pressure off．B． It's a good reminder that failure is OK．C． It is something that can show your talents．D． It takes time to create something interestingE． If you draw fast， you might ruin your drawing．F． But maybe we should rethink this assumption．G． These drawings can always bring me back to that moment．16.

【小题2】conveniently【小题3】that【小题4】wasinvented【小题5】which【小题6】improvements 【小题7】written【小题8】or【小题9】todesign【小题10】using【解析】（1）allows．考查时态．句意：印刷机使我们可以方便地分享大量的信息．分析句子结构可知，此句缺少谓语，allow sb． to do sth．固定短语，"允许某人做某事"，再结合语境可知，此处应该使用一般现在时，故填allows．（2）conveniently．考查副词．句意：印刷机使我们可以方便地分享大量的信息．分析句子结构并结合句意可知，空处填副词修饰前文的share，故填conveniently．（3）that．考查状语从句．句意：事实上，印刷机是如此的重要，它已经成为我们这个时代最重要的发明之一．分析句子结构并结合句意可知，so…that…固定短语，"如此……以至于……"引导结果状语从句，故填that．（4）was invented．考查时态语态．分析句子结构可知，从句中缺少谓语动词，且the printing press和invent（发明）是被动关系，再结合句意"在印刷术被发明之前…"，可知此处是一般过去时的被动语态，故填was invented．（5）which．考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是"Johannes

design．（10）using．考查非谓语动词．分析句子结构可知，空前是介词，后接动名词，故填using．本文是一篇说明文，介绍了印刷机的发明对社会和文化的影响．语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析，逐题解答．扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解是解答语法填空题的关键．42.【答案】applications【解析】答案：applications；考查单词填空．根据空格前的many可知应该用名词复数．故填applications．这项工作有许多申请表．对于用所给词的适当形式填空，答题时要做到：A．明确所给词的词性；B．弄清所给句子的意思；C．确定空白处所需的词性D．正确写出所填的词．43.【答案】punishment【解析】答案：punishment；考查单词填空．根据空格前的形容词可知应该用名词，且punishment是不可数名词．故填punishment．那些有魅力的罪犯会受到不那么严厉的惩罚．对于用所给词的适当形式填空，答题时要做到：A．明确所给词的词性；B．弄清所给句子的意思；C．确定空白处所需的词性D．正确写出所填的词．44.【答案】luggage。

英语仿真试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ANEW HAVEN，Connecticut-A surprise awaited students in Yale who showed up for Professor Laurie Santo's class．They got slips of paper that said，"No class today．" There was only one rule for the students' unexpected free time-They were not allowed to study，but to relax．Since exams and papers were coming up，everyone was tired and stressed．At this moment they were touched．With around applause，nine students hugged Santos，and two burst into tears．Yet，cancelling class was not just a break．It was also a challenge，as she was asking them to stop worrying about their grades，even if it was just an hour．One student went to the Yale University Art Gallery for the first time in her four years at Yale．A group of students went to a recording studio and played a new song．More people were outside，and more were smiling．That's why about 1，200 students were taking Santo's class，called "Psychology and the Good Life，" the largest class in Yale's 317-year history．Even non-Yale students had the chance to take Santo's class．It was offered as an online course and she immediately became an Internet hit．Skyler Robinson，one of her students，was at a loss for a while about what to do during his break，and then decided to take a nap．"It was a great nap，" he commented．Santos designed the class after she realized that her students kept busy through long days that seemed far more depressing and joyless than her own college years．"They feel they're in this crazy rat race．They're working so hard that they can't take a single hour off．That's awful．"The ideas behind the class are simple．Santos said，"It is the hope that science can help students find peace among all the stresses and difficulties they face at college．" The lessons include showing more gratitude，performing acts of kindness and increasing social connections．The students really wanted to learn to lead a happy life in a science-driven way．Santos also noted the psychological happening of "mis-wanting"，which led people to work towards the wrong goals in life．One week，Santo asked students to exercise．Another week，she wanted them to get more sleep．They worked hard to keep some new habits．Social science research led to many new understandings of how people find happiness．She thinks her class can change Yale，or rather，not just Yale．1.How did students respond to the cancelling class？A. They expressed their concern．B. They were at a loss what to do．C. They showed gratitude to the teacher．D. They were eager to study individually．2.How can we know Santo's class was popular？A. From the attendance in her class．B. From the subject she taught．C. From the long history of Yale．D. From the release of the online course．3.What can students learn from Santo's class？A. To develop good study habits．B. To let exercise become their routine．C. To better understand how to find happiness．D. To do something joyful during the stressful time．4.What can we infer from the text？A. Santos had a more stressful time in her college．B. Students would be in rat race after Santo's class．C. Santo's influence can reach a wider range of people．D. Santos is going to cancel more classes for better effects．BAs unpleasant emotions go，anxiety is the roughest．It's a vague，pit-of-the-stomach fear that sneaks up to you -- that unease you get when your boss says that she needs to talk to you right away，when the phone rings at 4：00 a．m．，or when your dentist looks into your mouth and says "Hmm" for the third time．Lasting anxiety can keep you up at night，make you bad-tempered，weaken your ability to concentrate，and ruin your appetite．And the constant state of readiness generated by anxiety-- heart racing，palms sweating -- may contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease．How to prevent anxiety then？Meditate．Maybe you're just anxious．If so，meditation（冥想）is worth a try．It cultivates a calmness that eases anxious feelings and offers a sense of control．A study at the University of Massachusetts found that volunteers who took an 8-week meditation course were considerably less anxious afterward．People who are anxious find that they are dramatically calmer with 20 minutes of meditation in the morning and another 20 minutes after dinner．Jog，walk，swim，or cycle．If you can't make time for meditation，be sure to make time for regular exercise．Exercise can have the same calming effect as meditation，particularly if it's something repetitive like running or swimming laps．Treatment？Remember to breathe．When you're anxious，you tend to hold your breath or breathe too shallowly．That makes you feel more anxious．Breathing slowly and deeply can have a calming effect．To make sure that you're breathing correctly，place your hand on your diaphragm（横膈膜），just below your rib cage（胸腔）．Feel it rise with each breath in and fall with each breath out．Let's say you are anxious about your competence on the job．Ask yourself "What，in particular，am I afraid that I'll mess up？" Maybe you're afraid that you get further behind and miss your deadlines．Or maybe you're worried that you're blowing it whenever you present your ideas in meetings．Have you had several near misses with deadlines？Are your suggestions routinely rejected？If not，the anxiety is needless．If there is a real problem，work on a solution：Pace yourself to better meet deadlines，or join a public speaking class．5.Which of the following symptoms is NOT directly caused by anxiety？______A. Lower in concentration．B. No appetite．C. Heart racing．D. High blood pressure．6.According to the passage，what can be done to avoid anxiety？______A. Exercising regularly．B. Keeping breath steady．C. Breathing shallowly with the help of hands．D. Adjusting the pace of life．7.What is the last paragraph about？______A. Anxiety at work and its solutions．B. People's anxiety about their capabilities．C. The reason for someone's incompetence．D. The function of public speaking class．COne man's white bread is another man's green vegetables．That's the key from The Personalised Diet，a new book from Israeli authors Eran Segal and Eran Elinav．The authors say it's time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets don't work，and when it comes to nutrition，it's about doing what works best for your body，not catching the latest diet fashion．"For years，we've been trying to search for that silver-bullet diet and we've been miserably failing，" Segal said．"And that's because the best diet for each person really has to be tailored to that individual．"They conducted a personalised nutrition project at Weizmann，where hundreds of volunteers agreed to have their blood sugar tested after meals．One participant in the study，a woman named Ruti，said she was surprised that it was tomatoes -- not ice cream or candies -- that were raising her blood sugar level．Ruti recalled，"I have now significantly reduced my intake of tomato and I'm feeling much more energetic，which still surprises me．I have already lost a couple of pounds，and I have high hopes that I have finally found the answer to my weight struggle，too．"The Israeli scientists found that some people can consume traditionally unhealthy foods with little or no rise in their blood sugar levels，while others have a stronger response，and therefore shouldn't eat those foods．It's those kinds of results that you can only find from a personalised diet．"What we were surprised to find out was just like any other food，there is no such thing as good bread，" Elinav said．"The response to bread was completely individualised．"8.What is suggested in the first sentence？A. Everyone has their own tastes．B. Nutrition serves your body best．C. People's response to the same food is different．D. The latest diet doesn't fit each person．9.What does "that silver-bullet diet" refer to？A. A diet that is low in fat．B. A diet that begins a new diet trend．C. A diet that works best for everyone．D. A diet that provides all the nutrition．10.Ruti's example suggests that to control weight，one needs to ______．A. eat much fewer tomatoesB. control their blood sugar levelsC. struggle for weight loss constantlyD. eat according to his or her blood sugar level11.Why is Elinav's opinion on bread mentioned in the last paragraph？A. To advise people not to eat unhealthy food．B. To stress the need of the personalised diet．C. To explain the popularity of white bread．D. To show the importance of good bread．DArchaeologists used DNA taken from a broken clay pipe stem found in Maryland to build a picture of an enslaved woman who died around 200 years ago and had origins in modern-day Sierra Leone．One researcher called the work " a mind-blower．""In this particular context，and from that time period，I think it's a first，" team member Hannes Schroeder told The Washington Post．"To be able to get DNA from an object like a pipe stem is quite exciting．Also it is exciting for descendant（后裔）communities．Through this technology，they're able to make a connection not only to the site but potentially back to Africa．"The pipe stem was found at the Belvoir plantation in Crownsville，Maryland，where enslaved people lived until 1864 and where a likely slave cemetery was recently found．DNA taken from the pipe linked back to a woman either directly from or descended from the Mende people，who lived in west Africa，in an area now part of Sierra Leone．Julie Schablitsky，the chief archaeologist with the Maryland state highway administration，told The Post the discovery，based on saliva（唾液）absorbed into the clay pipe，was a"mind-blower"．She also said records show the existence of a slave trade route Sierra Leone to Annapolis，plied（定期往来）by British and American ships．"As soon as people stepped on those slave ships in Africa，" she said，"whether they were from Benin or whether they were from Sierra Leone，wherever they were from，that identity was lost．Their humanity is robbed．Who they are as a people has gone．"The new analysis is part of ongoing research around Belvoir that has given descendants of the people enslaved there new insight into the lives of their ancestors．Speaking to The Post，Nancy Daniels，a genealogist from Laurel，Maryland，who thinks she is a descendant of enslaved families from Belvoir but was not linked to the research on the pipe，called the discovery "overwhelming．" "I'm sitting here about ready to cry，" she said．"I'm sorry．I'm sohappy …Thank God for the DNA．"This year，events and ceremonies are being held to mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved people in America，at Jamestown，Virginia，in 1619．12.What does the phrase "a mind-blower" in paragraphs 1 and 4 refer to？A. A surprise.B. A confusion.C. An excitement.D. A fascination.13.According to Hannes Schroeder，the pipe stem was of great significance because ______ ．A. it was the first direct evidence that slaves living in Maryland were originally from AfricaB. it helped the archaeologists to draw a portrait of the enslaved womanC. it might contribute to identifying the birthplace of the descendant communitiesD. it contained genetic clues to the ancestral background of its owner14.What can be inferred from the passage？A. The owner of the pipe once lived in what is now an area in west Africa．B. The history of slavery in America is an ongoing topic of concern．C. African slaves lost their identities when they arrived at the Belvoir plantation．D. Nancy Daniels，a genealogist was sorry for not being involved in the research．15.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？A. DNA from an old pipe throws lights on the origins of the enslavedB. A new research reveals the origins of enslaved African womanC. The descendants of enslaved people seek their identitiesD. DNA contributes to the breakthrough of a new research二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Art galleries are places in which artists can display all types of works of art，including paintings，drawings，photographs，sculptures，etc．(1) At the same time，however，each artwork must be protected from exposure to too much light since that can cause works to fade and therefore get ruined．(2)The most common form of lighting used to light up artwork is indoor spotlights on tracks attached to the ceiling near where the work is being displayed．(3) It permits the lights to be moved more easily when the light patterns require adjusting．Recessed（嵌入的）lights in walls and ceilings can be useful so long as they are not fixed in place but can instead be easily moved to create ideal light patterns．Most art gallery directors state that a combination of tracked and recessed light equipment is ideal because the tracked lights focus directly on the artwork while the recessed lights are used on the nearby walls to provide a surrounding light source．(4)How to angle the lights depends upon the height of the ceiling and the size of the artwork．Caution must be taken to avoid creating too many areas with shadows or to have the lights cause a glare on the artwork．Besides，the lights should not be bare bulbs burning directly on the artwork but should be made in some way to make the lighting softer．According to experts，low voltage（电压）bulbs are the best to use when lighting artwork．(5) Thus artwork should be placed三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）It started on a Friday (21) when the 5-year-old and his older brother were playing (22) their home near the resort town of Aspen，Colorado．Hearing the sound of(23)，the mother raced to her front yard to find a (24) sight：A mountain lion was bent over her 5-year-old son，biting him．The poor boy was completely under the cat and was (25) to get free．So the mother (26) she charged the animal，pulled away one of its(27) suddenly with a lot of force and discovered her son's whole head was in its mouth．She didn't back down．The mother(28) the lion's mouth and got it open，(29) the boy．She then quickly picked him up and ran away．The boy's father had just returned from a run when the(30) occurred．He(31)into the car with his wife and son and called 911 shortly before 8 p．m．As they (32) to a hospital in Aspen．The boy suffered cuts to his (33)，face and neck．The mother (34) bite marks on her hand and scratches on her leg．Aspen valley Hospital reported that the child was not seriously injured and in(35) condition and has since been (36) to children's Hospital in Denver for his recovery．The mountain lion was estimated to be about 2 years old and was not fully grown．It was，perhaps，forced out to hunt on its own．Young lions may be keen on easy (37)，like pets and small children．(38)，it wasn't a big cat．Had it been a 110-pound lion- which was once seen around there - this would have been a much(39) story．The mother，who had to physically remove the lion's paws from her son's face，is creditedwith(40)his life．She's a real hero．16.

Miles has had some health problems. Though he had received more than thirty operations in a Jewish Hospital in New York, he would be back for more.Miles enjoyed spending his time in our VIP lounge looking at the entire wall filled with the pictures of many celebrities (名人) who often came to our office. We soon added Miles' picture to the wall among those celebrities.Among the celebrities, Miles like the country singer Garth Brooks best. Miles would just sit and stare at Garth's picture,Oneday, Mr. Brooks was waiting in the lounge for his flight. As he looked at the collection of photographs, Garth asked about the youngster with the big smile. We told him about Miles. We also told him how much Miles loved and respected (尊重) him. He nodded and left.About six months later, Garth was going to be performing in Kansas City and he asked our workers to help him get in touch with the family. He wanted Miles to be his guest. That evening, not only did Miles sit in the front row, but he and Garth also had a private meeting after the performance.Although Miles would receive many more treatments after that special evening, his smile greeted us with every following visit.

A Helpless MotherCThere are 8.8 million blind people in India. In fact, there are 36 million blind people worldwide and a quarter of them are in India; however, many cases of blindness in India are curable. The poor in India have limited access to primary eye healthcare and often do not eat foods rich in micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in maintaining good eye health.Many people worldwide are not even aware that they may have a vision (视力) problem simply because they do not get their eyes tested every year with a doctor, who tests for the functioning of the eye muscles (肌肉), as well as common diseases like night blindness. This exam is strongly recommended by experts because somechanges in vision, which the patient may take longer to notice, can be found easily in this way.Certain simple changes in diet and lifestyle can ensure better eye health for you. These include drinking plenty-of water, not smoking, and eating brightly color1 ed and leafy fruit and vegetables. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun, which damages otherwise healthy eyes. Learn about your family's eye disease history, and be on the lookout for any problem about your vision. Make sure that you see a doctor immediately for early intervention(干预) if you see any of these signs of worsening eye health.If you or a loved one needs to cure blindness or other eye diseases, turn to a crowdfunding (众筹) platform. A group of eye health caregivers have fundraised with crowdfunding platform ImpactGuru to raise money to perform operations on the eyes of blind women in south Asia. Running an online fundraiser enables both doctors and patients to find a way out of the dark. If you want eye care to develop, start a fundraiser today.8.

However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successful with females — have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?12. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________.A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC. red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red13. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. achieveB. advanceC. keepD. change14. The example of the blue footed booby proves that ________.A. male birds use different body parts to draw attentionB. red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC. blue gives female birds the same advantageD. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B. Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C. Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年张家口宣化区第一中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890. When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1. What do the four paintings have in common?A. They are oil paintings.B. They are kept inNew York.C. They show different people’s lives.D. They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2. What do we know about The Starry Night?A. It shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B. Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C. A private collector gave it away to the museum.D. It was not famous before 1941.3. Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A. Jan van Eyck.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Pieter Bruegel.D. Pablo Picasso.BFor fishermen and sailors in the seaside town of Shangpan in Linhai, Zhejiang province, where recently 12 stranded（搁浅的）whales were found, it is not unusual to spot whales or dolphins in the sea — they would always call them haizi, or “son of the ocean”. And if the local fishermen spot such intelligent sea creatures in need, they will save them from danger without hesitation.In the recent rescue of melon-headed whales, they tried their best to help as a 37-second video of a young man sleeping in the water holding a whale soon went viral online, with netizens applauding his constant efforts and caring heart in trying to keep the whale alive. “The melon-headed whale knew I was trying to save it and would be more cooperative and wouldn’t move.” said Lu Wenhui, a 21-year-old diver from Hangzhou Changqiao Polar Ocean Park, who held up the whale’s head so it could breathe easily. Lu had been staying in the water for 10 hours by 4 a.m. Wednesday after coming for the rescue work on Tuesday, when the stranded whales were first spotted.“Whales are mammals and need to breathe in air — that’s why I had to hold its head, to ensure it could breathe smoothly the whole time,” Lu said. The stranded whales, after the struggling of being transported, were worn out when they arrived at the fish farm and might have drowned if they were left unattended.The reason why the whales were stranded is still not clear. And these stranded whales were returned to the ocean because they are not adapted to artificial breeding environments on land.4. What do local fishermen usually do after finding haizi in danger?A. Ignore them.B. Feed them.C. Transport them.D. Protect them.5. Why does the author describe Lu’s rescue work?A. To introduce the whales in detail.B. To voice his views on the diver.C. To praise the efforts made by rescuers.D. To explain the value of the whales.6. What can we say about the melon-headed whales according to the text?A. They are rarely seen by locals.B. They are used to breathing in the sea.C. They aren’t suited to artificial surroundings.D. They are fond of swimming near the seaside.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Melon-headed Whales Were StrandedB. Rescuers Went All out to Help WhalesC. Fishermen Transported Stranded WhalesD. Witnesses Voiced Opinions on Rescue WorkCIt’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD andmedical degree.8. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. instant passion.B. continuous efforts.C. great patience.D. selfless ambitions.9. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?A. Sad and disappointed.B. Stressed and defeated.C. Determined and confident.D. Joyous and contented.10. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. From Homeless to YaleB. Meet American’s Top GirlC. Disabled but not DefeatedD. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many TalentsDAbout a billion birds die from flying into buildings each year inNorth America. Suspicions havebeen that birds may regard the open areas behind glass as safe passageways. Or they may mistake the reflected trees for the real thing.Researchers would like to reduce collisions, which requires a solid understanding about what makes a bird more or less likely to die by crashing into a building in the first place.“There was ly little known at a broad scale. Previous studies were at one small study site.'' Jared Elmore, a graduate student in natural resource ecology and management atOklahomaStateUniversity. So he and his colleagues used a previously created data set of building collisions for birds at 40 sites throughoutMexico,Canadaand theU.S.The first finding was obvious: bigger buildings with more glass kill more birds. But the details were more remarkable. "We found that life history predicted collisions. Migrants(候鸟), insect-eaters and woodland-inhabiting species collided more than their counterparts(同类).”Most migratory species travel at night, when lights near buildings can distract or disorient(使迷失方向)them. And Elmore thinks that insect-eating birds might be attracted to buildings because their insect prey(猎物)is attracted to the lights. He suspects that woodland species get tooled by the reflections of trees and bushes in the windows. The results are in the journal Conservation Biology.By understanding which birds are more likely to collide with buildings, researchers can perhaps determine the best way to adapt buildings, or their lighting, to help prevent such accidents. And by knowing risks, along with migration timing and behavior, building managers can better predict when birds are at their greatest danger - and improve lighting strategics accordingly.Elmore's next project will use radar to help predict bird migrations. " I think that would maybe go a long way in terms of providing information to people, to the public, to building managers, on when they can get the most benefit in terms of lights-out policies."12. What is the possible reason for birds' crashing into buildings?A. They didn't see the buildings.B. They took reflections for reality.C. They assumed the windows to be open.D. They considered buildings as safe routes.13. What is Jared Elmore's study different from the previous ones?A. It created a new data set.B. It went beyond national borders.C. It covered a wider range of sites.D. I’ll studied some specific bird species.14. What was the most noticeable finding of Jared Elmore's study?A. Migratory species travel at night.B. Birds tend to be misled by glasses.C. Bigger buildings cause more collisions.D. Birds living habits give rise to collisions.15. Which of the following can help reduce bird collision?A. Adjust the lightening system.B. Attach radars to each building.C. Adopt strict lights-out policies.D. Ban using glasses on buildings.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
