Top chefs, stylish hotels, bars, clubs, and shops are all just steps away from the tropical beaches.

Day in Chang'an has been one of the biggest pleasant surprises for fans of TV dramas this summer. Its intense story and well-designed costumes and scenery have captured the attention of viewers, earning it high marks on review platforms.The story takes place during the Lantern Festival in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang dynasty. The story follows Zhang Xiaojing, who has been sentenced to death. Before the execution （处决）, he is appointed by Li Bi, the young chief of the intelligence department, to stop a group of suspected terrorists called the Wolf Squad and protect Chang'an.One of the main attractions of the drama has been its recreation and presentation of the ancient city of Chang'an. To give viewers the feeling that they are traveling in the city, the show's director Cao Dun has been making use of single shot scenes that show what the crowded market would have been like during the Lantern Festival in Chang'an. The cast has also been a major draw. They have been an irreplaceable part of the drama. These experienced actors are the foundation for the drama.The drama includes some impressive and important plot elements, such as watchtowers in the city that are manned by sharpshooters who can hit any target in their range. The production team even came up with a detailed secret communication system that these watchtowers use to communicate with each other. Another innovation is the use of screen notes to explain terms that audiences would be unfamiliar with, such as the term " bu liang ren", which audiences may mistakenly think refers to a villain（坏人）in the drama. An explanation appears on the screen to tell the audience that "bu liang ren" are specialists trained to catch evil guys. It's really helpful.According to Paragraph 2, what do we know about Zhang Xiaojing?A He ends up being killed by suspected terrorists.B He is appointed as the chief of the intelligence departmentby Li Bi.C He is still sentenced to life imprisonment though he isinnocent.D He is chosen to defeat the suspected terrorists though hefaces a death sentence.The drama's director employs the skill of single shot scenes in order to ______.A make viewers experience the feeling of traveling in the cityB let audiences have a good trip in Chang'anC have audiences understand the history wellD show what the Lantern Festival is likeWhat does the term "bu liang ren" refer to?A The people who are thought to have committed a crime.B The people who are expert at arresting bad men.C The people who have no family or possessions.D The people who are referred to as villains.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A The explanation for screen notes.B The introduction of the communication system.C The innovation elements of the drama.D The audience's assessments of the drama.3.Empathy（同理心）is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.What Is Empathy? Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions tames (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.（1）Why are the next generation taught to have empathy?A Everyone needs empathy.B Empathy is a strange quality.C It's better to give than to receive.D People tend to center themselves.（2）Which situation can empathy be used in?A When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.B When a criminal is cheating a victim.C When a dancer is dancing to music.D When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.（3）What does the underlined sentence "An empty jug cannot fill a cup" mean?A It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.B Adults should set an example tokids. C Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first. D An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.（4）What is the best title of the passage?A How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.B How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.C Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.D How to train kids to have empathy.4.ls there a link between social media and depression? Do Facebook and Instagram have a negative impact on your mental health? It's complicated.Sometimes, looking through Instagram just makes you feel bad. You try not to envy your friends, but they always seem to be traveling somewhere cool, eating something fancy, or looking cute in perfect just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. On the other hand, there are times when you laugh at funny memes（表情包）, catch up with old friends, and feel happy to belong to fun social media communities. Clearly, social media isn't all bad.People are increasingly suspect that there're the potential problems of social media. Things like cyberbullying, screen addiction, and being exposed to endless filtered images（美颜）that make it impossible not to make comparisons between yourself and others often make the news. In July, a big study came out in the journal JAMA titled "Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence." This big headline seems to confirm what a lot of people have been saying—screen time is horrible for young people.The study followed over 3800 adolescents over four years as part of a drug and alcohol prevention program. Part of what the investigators measured was the teens' amount of screen time, including time spent on social media, as well as their levels of depression symptoms. One of their main findings was that higher amounts of social media use were associated with higher levels of depression. That was true both when the researches compared between people and compared each person against their own mental health over time.Case closed? Not so fast. Before we end the debate once and for all, let's take a closer look at this and other studies. Let's ask ourselves: what exactly is the relationship between social media use and depression? It turns out there are several warnings.（1）Why do people sometimes feel bad when looking through Instagram?A They feel unbalanced.B They can travel nowhere.C They don't lookperfect. D They lack contact with old friends.（2）Why is the article in journal JAMA mentioned?A To comment.B To suggest.C To prove.D To explore.（3）Which may agree with the findings of the study?A Teens' amount of screen time is limited.B Depression is related to social media use.C It is not easy to tell reasons for depression.D Social media use contributes to mental health.（4）What's the best title of the text?A How to reduce depression?B Shall people reduce screen time?C Does social media cause depression?D Why is it time to give up social media?二、七选五5.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I am very delighted to have won $50,000 for my project. My project came about as 1 was constantly hearing about plastic pollution on the news. And I also see the real effects on our beaches every day. I discovered, to my shock，that at present no filtration (过滤）for microplastics takes place in any European wastewater treatment centres, so I started looking for a solution.Seeing that there was none，I decided to investigate further，finally finding a way to use the ferrofluid(铁磁流体），a liquid which sticks to the plastic allowing it to be removed using magnets. After over 1,000 tests I have proved that my method would remove 87% or higher of microplastics.I grew up in West Cork, Ireland. My hometown is surrounded by untouched nature. This has been my primary inspiration about how nature works. I soon discovered that science really was in everything. The fact that I lived in such a remote place meant that I had to build my own equipment and lab to conduct tests and experiments.Inspired by scientists such as Ben Feringa and his work with organic chemistry and nanotechnology (纳米技术），I would like to study chemistry or chemical engineering when finishing my last year of secondary school. Both of these subjects will be suited to me as I really enjoy problem-solving and experiments.One of the most valuable rewards from the science fair for me is the opportunity to presentmy work to a group of professional judges. Winning the prize is a great honour to me as this is an acknowledgement of my project and ideas. Also, winning the prize will give my project more attention. There is nothing I would like to see more than my project to be used in addressing microplastics in our oceans worldwide.1. What do we know about Fionn?A. He is studying at college.B. He lives by the sea.C. He works for a science fair.D. He was born in America.2. Why did Fionn set up the project?A. To purify the polluted air.B. To recycle microplastics in cities.C. To collect plastic wastes in water.D. To remove microplastics from water.3. Which of the following can be used to describe Fionn?A. Competitive.B. Creative.C. Optimistic.D. Humorous.4. What is Fionn looking forward to?A. Seeing his project applied widely in real life.B. Going to the science fair to get another prize.C. Attracting more attention to his project.D. Getting his project acknowledged by the judges.3、Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders. For example, Google (Sergey Brin and Larry Page), Apple (Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs), and Microsoft (Bill Gates and Paul Allen) and so on. Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with theday-to-day problems. And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.Everybody knows Samsungs Galaxy Note 7. When the phone was launched in 2016, customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well have been a hit if it weren't for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1 billion, and a further $17 billion in lost sales. But remember,based on the lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times—and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example. She credits her business success specifically to her failures. "I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long," she remembered. "People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created I learned that 'no' doesn't always mean 'no', and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years." Spanx is worth just over $1 billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $5 000!(1).What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1?A.Two heads are better than one.B.Constant dropping wears the stone.C.God helps those who help themselves.D.All things are difficult before they are easy.(2).Why does the author mention Samsungs Galaxy Note 7, 8 and 9?A.To suggest customers should follow the new trends.B.To prove Samsung is responsible for customers.C.To show Samsung paid for its product failure.D.To explain that failures don't spell the end.(3).What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely's success?A.Her friends' help.B.Her will power.C.Her good luck.D.Her education background.(4).How does the author develop the passage?A.By making contrast.B.By making classification.C.By giving examples.D.By giving numbers.4、The alarm sounds. Students swing their backpack over their shoulder, board the school bus, make their way to their homeroom and the bell rings — school is back. But for more homes in America, school looks more like students waking up, making their way to the dining room or home office, setting up laptops and learning in the comfort of home.Virtual(虚拟的) schooling, described as “a public school that offers only instruction in which students and teachers are separated by time and/or place, and interaction occurs via computers and/or telecommunications (电信) technologies”, has increased over the past decade. According to the National Education Policy Center, enrollments(注册人数) in virtual schools increased by 17,000 between the 2015 —2016 school year and the 2016—2017 school year to 295,518.For Arizona Virtual Academy, a full-time online public K-12 school, they use K12 Inc. curriculums. K12 Inc. serves students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries with digital learning platfo rms and technology, providing online education. “We always are improving our platforms and the technology that we use to make sure that we've keeping up with the changing trends, not only with education but also with technology," Dr. Kelly Van Sande said. Another piece of new technology they've rolled out is a new app where parents can find virtual schools available in their area.Carrie Faulkner chose to enroll two of her children in Arizona Virtual Academy. She says they’ve done schooling online in Ch icago, in California, at restaurants and on her cousin's floor in Kansas. "It doesn’t matter whether he (her son) is on the couch, in his bed or at the kitchen table, he can do schooling wherever he wants to," Faulkner said. "I wish they had it for me back when I was in school. That would have been awesome."1.What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To give an example of virtual schooling.B.To introduce the topic "virtual schooling".C.To describe vividly students' going to school.D.To compare real schooling with virtual schooling.2.How many students attended virtual schools during the 2015 —2016 school year?A.17,000.B.147,759.C.278,518.D.295,518.3.What can we infer about Arizona Virtual Academy?A.They provide both online and offline education.B.They're intended for students in the United States.C.Their new app lets people find schools nationwide.D.Their platforms and technology are very advanced.4.What is Carrie Faulkner’s attitude to virtual schooling?A.Favorable.B.Doubtful.C.Indifferent.D.Disapproving.5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年沙县三中高三英语二模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BWhen visitors enter Planet Word, a new museum in Washington, D. C , they will see Speaking Willow, a tall art piece representing a tree. As they pass under the artwork, they can hear recordings of speech in hundreds of languages coming from the tree. Most words sound foreign to the listeners. The different voices also speak at the same time. The resultingclamoris similar to that made in a crowded theater before a show begins.Rafael Lozano-Hemmer completed the piece last year. On his website, the artist says that Speaking Willow “reminds us that language is what defines our specific communities and connects our many cultures.” Lozano-Hemmer made the piece specially for the museum.It is the first of many immersive (身临其境的) experiences for visitors at Planet Word, a museum all about words and language. The exhibits playfully explore the lager and complex subject of language.In one room, a video plays, showing babies saying their first words. Another room, called “Where Do Words Come From”, teaches the history of some common English words. The space includes a 22-foot-tali “Wall of Words”, where visitors speak into devices and learn about the roots of the English language.Another room invites listeners to speak and learn about different languages. Native speakers of 28 languages and two sign languages teach people sayings in those languages. They also explain how language shapes their understanding of the world and how words cannot be separated from culture.Other rooms explore the different ways language is used — from humor and song writing to public speaking and advertising. Visitors can sing karaoke while learning about song writing, record a famous speech, play a joke-telling game, and teach a computer how to make cartoons. Almost every exhibit is interactive and most ask visitors to speak aloud.One exhibit room is all about books. It is designed to look like an old, rich library. Books line the shelves. When a book is placed on the table, a recorded reading begins and pictures appear.4. What does the underlined word “clamor” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Scene.B. Noise.C. Language.D. Appearance.5. The SpeakingWillowwas created ______.A specially B. accidentallyC. on requestD. out of curiosity6. What can we learn from the video in the room?A. Words and cultures.B. Different languages.C. The history of words.D. The first words newborns say.7. In which paragraph can you find the methods of using languages?A. 3.B. 4.C. 6.D. 7.CImust have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to writedown what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.8. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands？A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.B. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.C. She couldn’t help but stopmom from reading.D. She was eager to know what had happened.9. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs shows___________.A. her own way to find herselfB. her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC. her growing desire to know the world around herD. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules10. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.A. explore a mysterious landB. develop an interest in learningC. get away from a confusing worldD. learn about the adult world11. What could be the best title for the passage？A The Pleasure of Reading B. Growing Up with ReadingC. The Magic of ReadingD. Reading Makes a Full ManDBarred owls(大林鸮猫头鹰) are a large species native to eastern North America, but they began moving west at the start of the 20th century. By 1973,large numbers of barred owls had arrived in the western state ofWashington. Later they moved south intoOregonandCalifornia.In parts of thePacific Northwest, the owls are now believed to be causing a drop in the population of a smaller, less aggressive bird: the northern spotted owl. In many ways, the barred owl is the spotted owl's worst enemy. The barred owl has more babies per year and eats the same animals, like squirrels and wood rats. And their numbers are now larger in many parts of the spotted owl's traditional territory.David Wiens is a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, a federal agency that studies the Earth and its natural resources. He and other officials are doing something unusual to protect spotted owls: killing barred owls. It is a controversial, experimental program. More than 2,400 barred owls have already been shot.Wiens is the son of a well-known bird expert and grew up with the fascination for birds. He has mixed feelings about the program. "It's a little distasteful, I think, to go out killing barred owls to save another owl species," he says. But he adds, “We knew that barred owls were out competing spotted owls and their numbers were growing too fast."To catch barred owls, officials put digital bird callers on the ground. Then they step back and wait as several sounds from the devices fill the air. All of this happens in the dark of night. Barred owls dislike other birds in their territory, so they will fly down and chase other owls out. That is when Wiens and his team try to shoot them.12. What's the main problem with spotted owls?A. They are being starved to death.B. They have more babies each year.C. They are invaded by another bird.D. They are hunted by man.13. Why are barred owls being killed?A. They are eating the spotted owls.B. They are killing each other to survive.C. They are putting the spotted owls in danger.D. They are destroying large areas of forests.14. Why did the officials release the bird sounds?A. To kill barred owls.B. To puzzle barred owls.C. To protect barred owls.D. To frighten barred owls.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Killing One Animal to Save Another.B. Keeping the Balance of Nature.C. Protecting Birds in Danger.D. Preventing Birds from Playing Fair.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。

Wego to the gym to “work out ” without trying to become better at something specific.We wish that we were more creative,but never work on a particular project.When you commit to a task, however, then thenext step is want to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise?Next step: find a good spot.You've found a good spot? Next step: wake up earlyand drive there.This is perhaps the most shocking thing: if box yourself in, then you'llbegin to break out and achieve something greater than you ever imagined.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

Gee stood beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She told me that she and Tom built their Christmas ornament collection piece by piece each year. She smiled as we left with the box, because her precious heirlooms, gathered over a life time, had found a new home.We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: a man who lived across the street. I baked cookies and left them on a bench outside the garage with a thank-you note. We then found a typed letter from Tom, explaining that he had begun returning cans for people he hardly knew, because neighbors had done this for Gee when he was in hospital. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died, much to our sorrow. Gee told us she still talked to Tom every day. When we left her house with the precious box, I realized how hard it must be for Gee to part with that box, a piece of Tom.These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, b ooks, toys and, of course, people. We know it’s time to go, but soon realize gaining a third bedroom seems like a bad trade for all we stand to lose.This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee and Tom’s ornaments. Maybe I’ll talk to Tom just as Gee s till does. Thank you, I’ll say for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.24. What does the underlined word “heirlooms” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Wooden box.B. Stuffed cats.C. Christmas ornament collection.D. Cartoon characters.25. What did the author do to express her thanks to Tom?A. She typed a thank-you letter.B. She baked some cookies for him.C. She cared for Gee when Tom was ill.D. She started to do the same voluntary work.26. Why are the author’s family planning to leave?A. Their caring neighbor has died.B. Nobody will help them as Tom did.C. Gee wants to move to another place.D. Their house has become too crowded.27. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Gift of a Great Neighbor.B. Returning Garbage Cans.C. An Unforgettable Experience.D. Wonderful Christmas Ornaments.CThere are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents,and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures byartists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields oftechnology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing ontechnology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non-profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, isn’t immune to criticism. It’s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It’s been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference’s host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED’s website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.28. What is the main topic of the article?A. The case against TED.B. What’s on TED today.C. Pros and cons of .D. What is TED.29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The TED conference came after the success of .B. Two TED conferences are now held every year.C. TED talks are available in many languages.D. The Sapling Foundation owns .30. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.A. it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB. the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC. TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD. the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation31. This author probably believes that________.A. TED is elitistB. TED is beneficialC. TED isn’t importantD. TED is the best websiteDLast year in Arizona, 19 firefighters died in an unpredictably fast wildfire. It was the highest firefighter deaths for a single fire since 1933.The same year, Sierra Nevada saw its largest fire ever, which destroyed 402 square miles, and Colorado suffered its most destructive wildfire in state history—nearly 500 homes were destroyed.Why do there seem to be more fires in more places in recent years？The simple answer is us. First, until the 1980s, we didn't know that fire can be good for ecosystems, so firefighters operated under a policy of fire suppression(抑制). By preventing fires, though, they let underbrush build up in forests, fueling bigger fires later on. Then，the increasing average temperatures are responsible for drier，longer，and more extreme fire seasons. Finally，our cities are spreading into fire-prone(易于着火的) areas.To avoid greater losses，experts first need to fully understand wildfires. Starting this year，a team of engineers，including the National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST）and the U.S. Forest Service，has been carrying out controlled burns and using the data to build computer models to improve fire predictions. They are also testing new building materials that can withstand wildfire conditions and make for safer homes.We need a system that warns people against danger even before a fire starts. Scientists at NIST recently developed a hazard scale(危险等级) for marking areas most at risk of wildfires. It would predict the severity and destructiveness of a fire in a particular area. It could also inform building criteria for new construction in fire zones and insurance costs. You pay insurance for deciding to live in the path of quakes and hurricanes，after all，so why not fires？The method is tried and true. When general warnings won't do the job，why not use the market to discourage people from doing stupid things like building in fire zones? Without a hazard scale in place, we're just moving into areas that are more and more likely to burn.32. Why does the author mention the data in paragraph 1?A. To describe a disastrous scene.B. To stress the serious situation.C. To prove the scientificity of the method.D. To show the complexity of ecosystems.33. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. The spreading of cities reduces chances of fires.B. The policy of fire suppression proves to be effective.C. Extreme fires are the main result of global warming.D. Wildfires can be necessary part of ecosystems.34. Why do the engineers carry out controlled burns?A. To monitor the forest fires.B. To predict wildfires more accurately.C. To develop new building materials.D. To assess insurance costs.35. What is "a hazard scale" in the text？A. A computer testing model.B. A set of building criteria.C. A fire warning system.D. A fire loss assessment.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。
