Grammar and Vocabulary Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the

14、 passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Science fiction often presents us with planets that speak a single language. However, 21 humans can e

15、xpress themselves in several thousand languages is a delight. Few would welcome the loss of this variety, and, along with it, a multiplicity of nations and cultures.Unfortunately, the days _22 English shares the planet with thousands of other languages are numbered. A traveler to the future is likel

16、y to notice two things about the language landscape of Earth. One, there will be vastly fewer languages. Two, languages will be_23 (complicated) than they are today.By 2115, its possible that only about 600 languages will be left on the planet as opposed to todays 6,000. Too often, colonization has

17、led to the disappearance of languages: Native speakers are punished _24 using their own languages. Urbanization has only furthered the destruction by bringing people away from their homelands to cities where a single language dominates.In addition, it is easy for speakers to associate larger languag

18、es with opportunities and smaller ones with backwardness. Consequently, people stop passing on smaller languages to their children.There are diligent efforts _25 (keep) endangered languages from dying. Sadly, few are likely to lead to communities _26 (raise) children in the languages, which is the o

19、nly way the languages exist as their full selves.Instead, many communities create new versions of the languages, with smaller vocabularies and simpler grammar. The Irish Gaelic ( 盖 尔 语 ) proudly spoken by todays English-Gaelic bilinguals is an example, something that one might call a “New Gaelic.”Li

20、nguists have no single term yet for these new speech varieties, _27 from Germanys “Kiezdeutsch” to Singapores “Singlish,” the world is witnessing the birth of more optimized versions of old languages. This simplification should not be taken as a sign of decline. All of the “optimized” languages rema

21、in full languages in every sense of the term.We _28 regret the eclipse of a world where 6,000 different languages_29 (speak), but fortunately, it seems a decent amount of linguistic diversity will be preserved. Besides, _30 languages become easier to pick up, the future may promise even more mutual

Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank

29、in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A new phone app uses vibrations from smart phones to warn people about earthquakes.The phone app _41 sudden shaking of the earths surface through sens

30、ors in smart phones. It is called MyShake. It is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. They said they created a worldwide warning system that would _42 people and give them time to prepare. The MyShake app is _43 only for Android phones.Smart phones are _44 accelero

31、meters (加速度感应器). These instruments measuremovement, like that of a car or airplane. MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity. It has been _45 to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent o

33、ake in real time. MyShake can record magnitude 5.0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less.MyShake uses very _48 power, according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is _49 by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resti

34、ng on a _50 surface, like a table.The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. That U.S. agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also_51 EEW. The EEW has deployed (部署) sensors for measuring quakes in many areas.In places where no su

The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.“Our goal is to build a worldwide seismic network and use the data to _54 the effects of earthquak

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information

40、given in the passage you have just read.(A)Learning how to cope with death has always been a central part of human existence. Even the Pixar movie Coco bases its story on the Mexican traditions of Dia de los Muertos. In this article, you will find out why and how Mexicans celebrate the Day of the De

41、ad.I once visited the Museum of Mummies in the Mexican city of Guanajuato with a Swedish friend. The mummies were displayed among fake cobwebs ( 蜘 蛛 网 ), and other cheap adornments (装饰物). Confronted with this seeming lack of respect for the dead, I explained to my shocked companion that Mexicans hav

42、e a peculiarly different relationship with death to other cultures. As the Nobel Prize-winning Mexican writer Octavio Paz explained in his work:“The Mexican . is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it, and celebrates it. True, there is as much fear in his attitude as in tha

43、t of others, but at least death is not hidden away: he looks at it face to face, with impatience, disdain (鄙视) or irony.”The celebration of the Day of the Dead a week of festivities from 28 October to 2 November is an essential part of this embracement of death that is particular to Mexican national

44、 identity. The popular belief is that the dead have divine permission to visit friends and relatives on earth and enjoy once again the pleasures of life. Therefore, Mexicans visit the graves of families and friends and adorn them with colorful flowers and offerings of food. The period is a joyous ce

45、lebration of life, rather than a sober mourning of its passing.The origins of the festival lie in the 16th-century fusion of the Aztecs belief in death as merely one part in the wider cycle of existence, their ritual venerations (仪式崇拜) and offerings to the goddess Mictecacihuatl (“Lady of the Dead”)

46、 for the deceased, and the Spanishconquerors desire to accommodate these festivities within the Catholic celebrations of All Saints Day and All Souls Day.In a country as socially and geographically diverse as Mexico, there is significant regional variation in the nature of festivities: the southern

47、state of Chiapas is far more likely to focus its efforts on processions ( 队 伍 ) and public commemorations( 纪 念 ) of death than the valley ofMexico, where the decoration of altars ( 供 坛 ) in homes and tombs of the deceased is morepopular. Urbanization, too, plays a large role in regional variations.

48、For the south and rural areas the period holds far greater social and cultural significance than in the north and large cities; families and communities in rural areas will often spend large parts of the year preparing for the occasion.56. Why does the author say “Mexicans have a peculiarly differen

49、t relationship with death to other cultures?”A. Because Mexicans always show their respect for death in the form of mummies.B. Because Mexicans do not fear death or respect it.C. Because adornments like flowers can be seen everywhere during the Day of the Dead.D. Mexicans face death bravely rather t

50、han hide it away.57. Which statement is NOT true according to the origins of the Day of the Dead?A. It was the Aztecs who determined how to celebrate the Day of the Dead.B. The Aztecs believed death was part of the wider cycle of existence.C. The Aztecs would give offerings to the goddess of death f

51、or their lost loved ones.D. The Spanish conquerors wanted to fit the festivities into some of their Catholic celebrations.58. Why do Mexicans visit the graves of families and friends and offer colorful flowers and food?A. Because they can ask God to permit the dead to visit them in this way.B. To ce

52、lebrate the joy of new life in spring.C. Because the dead will be permitted to visit their families and enjoy the pleasure of life again.D. Because this is an essential part of embracement of death.59. Which of the following explains the role that urbanization plays in the regional variations of cel

53、ebrating the Day of the Dead?A. People in the south and rural areas put more emphasis on the occasion.B. People in the valleys usually decorate the alters in homes and the tombs of the dead.C. People in the north and big cities spend large part of the year preparing for the celebration.D. The southe

54、rn states do not care about the decoration of alters at home.(B)This booklet, prepared by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), provides an overview on depression. It will help you learn the things that everyone should know about depression.This booklet is intended for informational purpos

55、es only and should not be considered a guide for making medical decisions. For more information on depression, please visit the NIMH website at www.nimh.nih.gov.1. Depression is a real illness.Sadness is something we all experience. It is a normal reaction to difficult times in life and usually pass

56、es with a little time. When a person has depression, however, it interferes with daily life and normal functioning. Doctors call this condition “depressive disorder.” It is a real illness. Many factors may play a role in depression.Causes of Depression(1) Genetics, brain biology and chemistry(2) Lif

57、e events such as trauma, loss of a loved one(3) A difficult relationship(4) Early childhood experience(5) Chronic illness, drug and alcohol abuse(6) Any stressful situation2. Depression affects people in different ways.Not everyone who is depressed experiences every symptom. Some people experience o

58、nly a few symptoms; others have many. The seriousness and frequency of symptoms, and how long they last, vary depending on the individual and the stage of the illness.Symptoms of Depression(1) Feelings of guilt, sadness, worthlessness, helplessness or hopelessness(2) Loss of interest or pleasure in

59、hobbies and activities(3) Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions(4) Persistent aches or pains(5) Insomnia(6) Appetite and/ or weight changes(7) Consistent fatigue and decreased energy(8) Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts3. Depression is treatable.Depression, even the mo

60、st serious cases, can be treated. The earlier treatment begins, the more effective it will be.Dealing With Depression Reach out and stay connected: Make real-life communication a priority! Spend time with other people and confide in a trusted friend or relative. Let them help you. Try to be active a

61、nd exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. This does not have to be all at once. A ten-minute walk can improve your mood for two hours. Eat a healthy and mood-boosting diet: Reduce foods that contain caffeine, alcohol, trans fats, and foods with high levels of chemical preservat

62、ives as well as sugars. Get a daily dose of sunlight: Sunlight can help improve your mood. Whenever possible, get outside during daylight hours and expose yourself to the sun. Challenge negative thinking: Nothing is as bad as it seems at first. Try to move your focus away from concentrating on what

63、is bad in your life. Find professional help: If none of the above tips help, do not wait for the symptoms to disappear. Seek professional help.4. You are not alone.In addition to your treatment, you could also join a support group. At the meetings, people share experiences, feelings, information, an

64、d coping strategies for living with depression.Depression Around the WorldNearly seven percent of American teens and adults are currently living with depression.About 300 million people around the world are suffering from depression.60. According to the article, depression is NOT something that . ma

65、kes a person feel a little bit sad always has a clear cause a person can get rid of happens to a small group of peopleA. B. C. D. 61. According to the article, who might be suffering from depression?A. A teenager who frequently complained of stomachaches before going to school and preferred to stay

66、in her room alone.B. A firefighter who had a sleepless night after a tough task.C. A mother who felt really exhausted after helping her child with her homework.D. An old man who had no appetite for his favorite food and decided to try a new diet.62. If you had a friend who was living with depression

67、, you should probably suggest he .A. make an overseas trip all by himselfB. stay at the gym and work out day and nightC. concentrate on the negative feelings and try to overcome themD. take professional advice and accept medical intervention(C)On Wednesday, two things happened. In Syria, 80 people w

68、ere killed by government airstrikes. Meanwhile, in Florida, Elon Musks SpaceX successfully launched and fired a sports car into space. Guess which story has dominated mainstream news sites?The launch of Musks Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful ever launched by a private company, went off success

69、fully. Musk sent his cherry-red Tesla roadster running toward Mars, launching “a new space age”. The event attracted phenomenal publicity and made the rocket launch a masterstroke of advertising for Tesla.Meanwhile, in Syria, where hundreds of thousands of refugees may be forced to return to unsafe

70、homes, a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention: He wondered what level of violence it would take to make the world care.There is, perhaps, no better way to appreciat

71、e the tragedy of 21st-century global inequality than by watching a billionaire spend $90m launching a $100,000 car into space.Musk said he wanted to participate in a space race because “races are exciting” and that while strapping his car to a rocket may be “silly and fun silly and fun things are im

72、portant”. Thus, anyone who mentions the huge waste the project involves, or the various social uses to which these resources could be put, can be dismissed as a killjoy.But one doesnt have to hate fun to question the justification for pursuing a costly newspace race at exactly this moment. If we exa

73、mine the situation honestly, it becomes hard to defend a project like this.A mission to Mars does indeed sound exciting, but its important to have our priorities straight. First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the leve

74、l of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars.Many might think that what Elon Musk chooses to do with his billions is Elon Mus

75、ks business alone. If he wanted to spend all his money on medicine for children, that would be nice, but if hed like to spend it making big explosions and sending his convertible on a million-mile space voyage, thats his right.But Musk is only rich enough to afford these money-consuming projects bec

76、ause we have allowed social inequalities to arise in the first place. If wealth were actually distributed fairly in this country, nobody would be in a position to fund his own private space program.Elon Musk is right: silly and fun things are important. But some of them are an indefensible waste of

77、resources. While there are still humanitarian crises such as that in Syria, nobody can justify vast spending on rocketry experiments.63. Why does the writer mention the two pieces of news at the beginning of the passage?A. To highlight the significance of SpaceXs successful launch of a rocket and a

78、car into space.B. To illustrate the inequality of wealth distribution and the consequent inequality of attention distribution.C. To appeal to the government for more attention to the air strikes and refugee crisis in Syria.D. To find out which news dominated the mainstream news sites.64. Why did the

79、 UN human rights coordinator for Syria feel disappointed?A. Because nobody appreciated his work and all the efforts he made.B. Because the violence in Syria is not serious enough to make the world care.C. Because however hard he tried, nobody seemed to care about the situation in Syria.D. Because he

80、 had great difficulty videotaping the effects of bombing.65. What is implied in paragraph in 6 and 7?A. The space project of SpaceX cost the government too much money.B. Addressing problems of violence, poverty and diseases should be our top priority.C. Space programs are a waste of money that canno

81、t be justified.D. It kills the fun to question the justification of the pursuit of space programs.66. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. We should pay equal attention to space projects and solving social problems.B. No private companies should be allowed to spend money in rocketry experi

82、ments.C. The successful launch of SpaceX has distracted the world from more important things.D. The money and resources used in space projects could have been used to deal with various social problems.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentenc

83、e can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A. He inspired our imagination and hoped we could use it to make the world a better place.B. If all these entertainment products can be traced to one person, it would be Stan Lee, who died last November at the age of 95.C.

84、 Lee also appeared in a number of Marvel movies, watering his lawn, delivering the mail, and so on.D. In order to keep multiple stories going at the same time, Lee wove them together into a seamless(无缝的) fictional world.E. Under Lee, Marvel transformed the comic book world by humanizing its characte

85、rs.F. Through the honesty of guys like Spider-Man, we learn about different aspects of human nature.Think of Spider-Man, Iron Man and Ant-Man. Think of Black Panther, the Mighty Thor and the X-Men. Think of the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four and all the other superheroes that have stimulated th

86、e popular imagination. 67 . From a small office in Manhattan in the 1960s, he helped create a lineup of fictional heroes that have crossed from page to screen in a series of TV and movie adaptations and changed the face of popular culture.For many, he was the face of Marvel, if not comic books in ge

87、neral, witnessing the companys rise to become an international media giant. As a writer, editor, publisher and Hollywood executive, he played a critical role in what comic fans call one of the mediums golden ages. 68 . Lee gave the heroes flaws and insecurities, as well as an awareness of trends, so

88、cial causes and a sense of humor, trying to “make them real flesh-and-blood characters with personality,” he told The Washington Post in 1992. “Thats what any story should have, but comics didnt have it until that point. They were all cardboard figures.” 69 . Iron Man, for example, could join forces

89、 with the Fantastic Four, and Captain America could find himself a wedding guest alongside Doctor Strange. Lee created a fictional universe for readers to explore one that made readers buy multiple series to get the whole story.“I used to think what I did was not very important,” Lee told the Chicag

90、o Tribune in 2014. “People are building bridges and participating in medical research, and here I was working on stories about fictional people who do crazy things and wear costumes. But I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed.”Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the

91、 characters he created, said Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger. Indeed, Lee worked tirelessly his whole life creating great characters for the world to enjoy. 70 . His legacy will outlive us all.IV. Summary Writing (71)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point

92、(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Standing desks have been praised for their positive effects on physical health, reducing sitting time and lowering certain health risks linked to a sedentary( 久坐的) lifestyle. But could standing desks have positive men

93、tal effects?10高考资源网() 您身边的高考专家New research suggests that students may think best when they are on their feet. It offers some of the first evidence of mental benefits of standing desks in classrooms.Testing was done on high school freshmen who used standing desks, evaluating them at the beginning and

94、 end of the school year. Dr. Ranjana Mehta, an assistant professor at the Texas A&M School of Public Health, led the experiments aiming to assess standing desks mental benefits.Through computerized tests, students executive functions were evaluated. Executive functions are the cognitive skills used

95、to analyze tasks and break them into steps, and are directly related to academic needs like time management, memorizing facts and solving multi-stepproblems. These functions are largely controlled by frontal(前额的) brain regions, so researchersused a portable brain-imaging device to examine any relate

96、d changes.“Test results indicated that continued use of standing desks was associated with significant improvements in executive functions and working memory abilities,” Mehta said. “Changes in corresponding brain activation patterns were also observed.”“Interestingly, our research showed the use of

97、 standing desks improved mental function, which is consistent with results from previous studies on school-based exercise programs,” Mehta noted.Policymakers, public health professionals and school administrators should consider the positive effects of standing desks and make some simple changes in
