10、k in my teeth. But as I took my seat, I heard one student whisper, “Why is a black boy taking Honors?” So, my fly wasnt open. An honors level class had simply been taken by a student whose skin was brown.Many people think my clothes should be big enough for me to live in, or expect me to listen to o
11、nly “black music.” In seventh grade, a group of my classmates fixed their cold stares on my clothes. They called out to me, “Go get your gangsta clothes.” In one of my Spanish classes, the teacher asked me, “Do you like rap music or rock music more?” I replied, “Rock.” The look of shock on my classm
12、ates faces made me uncomfortable.Now I still take all Honors courses. I still wear clothes that fit me. My music library covers from rock to pop to techno, and almost everything in between. When it comes to choosing my friends, I am still colorblind. I continue to do my best to work in school in ord

I believe that I myself should decide who I am and what actions I take in life. In high school, popularity often depends on your willingness to follow trends. And Ive been told th
14、at it doesnt get much easier going into adulthood. But the only other option is to sacrifice my personality for the satisfaction and approval of others. This can be appealing, but Im not going to do that.24.Why did his classmates laugh at him?A. His fly was open.B. Something was stuck in his teeth.C

17、re is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mo
18、ther and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, I love spending time with
19、 my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend. Best friends dont pay for your wedding. Best friends dont remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends dont tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesnt mea
20、n that the mother and daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mother
21、s and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best fr
22、iends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they arent speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not
23、feel responsible for their mothers emotional well-being. It isnt that they dont care deeply about their mothers. Its just that they shouldnt be burdened with their mothers well being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being
24、 mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always trumps(王牌) friend.28.The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. differ B. preventC. benefit D. change29.What do we know from the passage?A.
25、 The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mothers love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.30.The author proves his statement
26、s mainly by _.A. listing data B. giving explanationsC. quoting sayings D. making examples31.What is the best title for the passage?A. How to be a good mother and daughter？ B. Who is a mothers best friend?C. Mother or friend? D. Can a mother be a daughters best friend?D Skeptics are a strange lot. So
27、me of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to
28、 the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much popularity. That book, The Skeptic Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is t
29、he deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.来源:学_科_网Z_X_X_KSo it was strange to see Mr. Lombo
30、rgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”
31、Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”.A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and th
32、e media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blinded before a world partially exhibited by the media
33、. Thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.32.According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of ou

People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.33.Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs book?A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.B. The book challenges view
35、s about the fine state of the world.C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.D. Industryfunded media present confusing information.34.The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_.A. voice a different opinionB. find fault with Lomborgs bookC. challenge the authority of
36、the mediaD. point out the value of scientific views35.What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.B. To warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with reviews.C. To blame the medias lack of responsibility in presenting information.

52、in.However, for many high school students, these great activities may be just a dream. With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams. Of course, study is one of the most important things for teenagers. But life is definitely much more than t
53、hat.Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful. In doing so, we lose the real purpose of life to be a valuable and happy person.

54、to improve your health, talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh（振作）our body and mind.Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work. Chinese craftsman, Lu Ban created a saw to help woodworkers. But if he hadnt w

We could also suppose if Newton hadnt rested under that apple tree, then he wouldnt have been hit by an apple, and his classic（经典的）theories would not have come out.Going out is not only a break from hard work, but a chan

59、t more.B. Nature is power.C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.D. The author isnt happy with our education at all.DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes.
60、 To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus t
61、he limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blo
62、od relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be
63、as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for exampl
64、e, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, b
65、ut who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32.The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him _.A. at birth B. through educationC. both at birth and through education D. through environment of ones family33.If a child is born with high i
66、ntelligence, he can _.A. surely become a geniusB. still become a fool if he isnt given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings34.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately sho

77、n to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter. Now for over a year, the girls have been working after school and over the winter and spring breaks to complete their project. “They have this amazing drive that Ive never seen before, ” said Violet Mardirosian, a math
78、teacher at San Fernando High. “I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up, saying I didnt expect this much work, but they dont. Theyre just working hard and theyre not giving up.”Living in a low-income community (社区), the girls have seen the problem of homelessness first-hand,
79、which is why they chose that population to create a product for. Many of them are also from immigrant families and hope the solar-powered shelter might help refugees(难民). Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no engineering experience, the girls figured out as a team how to create
80、the prototype (雏形), using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important lesson shes learned over the course of the project isnt technical. “Ive learned a lot about helping others, helping the community and showing a better world to other people,” she said.The girls hav
81、e been invited to MIT to show their invention. Mardirosian says all the participating students have expressed interest in going into STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in being involved next year.

82、“Many of them didnt think about engineering before. They thought maybe theyre not made out to be an engineer. But working together, now they realize theyre all needed in this field.

In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids (非洲丽鱼科鱼) to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank
107、again. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fishs movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time tha
108、t African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past fights. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence. Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays
109、an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science. For a long time, fish were placed
110、 far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence. So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them they may remember who you are.25. What is t

C I was at the market at 5 pm, the worst time of day to shop, to pick up a few essentials: cream for coffee, eggs for breakfast and Advil for my headache. Id been rushing all day doing jobs for people. I did not want to
114、 be shopping, to say the least. But I told myself it was my last stop before going home to put my feet up. So I scored a parking place, grabbed a bag from the trunk (后备箱) and found a shopping cart. The market wasnt as crowded as I had expected. I grabbed a package of linguini (意粉) and some pesto (松子
115、青酱). Thats when I saw her. She was sitting in a shopping cart. She looked to be maybe 9 months old. Short blond curls, blue eyes. A white lace dress and shiny black shoes. I couldnt take my eyes off her. Then I did what I always do with children: I gave her my best smile. I may have looked a bit mad
116、, but it came from my heart. That is a habit I formed long ago when I became a mother. It started with my first child, in that unforgettable, life-changing moment of her birth. At times my smile would fade to a look of fear or worry, but it never left my face for long. It always came back, even thro
117、ugh tears. Ive learned that everyone needs a smile sometimes, young and old, friends and strangers, even strangers at the market in a rush to get home.来源:学|科|网 She took her time deciding just what to make of my smile. But finally, she lit up. I laughed and waved goodbye. And she blew me a kiss. That
118、 put a smile on my face that got a smile in return from every shopper I passed. I was still smiling when I got home and realized Id forgotten to get Advil. Luckily, I didnt need it. My headache was gone. Somehow, in that simple exchange of smiles, this weary (使人厌烦的) old world became a better place.

123、oke or a chocolate bar to lift your mood. After all, its popularly believed that a “sugar rush” gives us energy. But a study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews in April suggests that sugar can make us feel worse rather than boost our moods. The German and UK researchers collected da
124、ta from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. They studied the effect of sugar on various aspects of mood, including anger, alertness (警惕性), depression and tiredness. They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour, and that these feelings become mo
125、re intense (强烈的) over time. According to the researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest (消耗) the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feelin
126、g. To remain on a “high”, people are likely to eat more and more sugar until they become addicted to it. As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people feeling tired and less alert. But the study findings neednt make us think we must give up sweet food altogether. According t
127、o the World Health Organization, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so long as these make up less than 5 percent of daily total energy intake.

It sounds crazy, but the practice is common for some of the worlds biggest clothing manufacturers .They argue that it is the most cost-eflective way of maintaining their brands exclusivity （独特性）.The clothes that are burned are those that do not sell at a high enough price. Rather than watch
148、them go on sale, the companies would set fire to them and regain a small amount of energy. Nobody knows exactly how much unsold stock is burnt annually by those fashion houses, but burning clothes has various negative impacts on the environment. For example, burning clothes made from artificial fibe
149、rs may release plastic microfibers into the atmosphere, which worsens global warming. A U.K. parliamentary committee report on sustainability and the fashion industry advises the government to ban the burning of unsold stock if it can be reused or recycled.Actually, there are other approaches.

158、ven cars. But so far, most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair. Crash statistics for human-driven cars arc gathered from all sorts of driving situations. and all types of roads. However, most of the data on self-driving cars safety have been reorded often in goo
159、d weather and on highways, where the most important tasks are staying in the cars own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle-ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks, but so are humans.It is true that self-driving cars dont get tired, angry, frustrated or drunk .But neither can they yet
160、react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive Unaan driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential dangers. They largely drive from moment to moment, rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.To a self-driving car, a bus full
161、 of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited field. Indeed, deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans, but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An automated systems limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evalu
162、ate （评估）a Situation the same way a human would. And machines cant be programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation（航空）shows
163、that as new automated systems are introduced, there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.Therefore, comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to beperformed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety, its important to
164、 ensure the data being presented actually provide a true comparison. After all, choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply a one-for-one exchange.32.What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair?A.

But a 4.5-inch-thick heat shield(罩)will protect the probes camera and scientific instruments.NASA says the data the probe collects could provide knowledge into the physics of stars. Our sun is special to us. But as a star, its rather common. So the

209、ents about the pressure that todays young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.”And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of todays society. In the study, two researchers studied
210、 more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called “socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016.Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of todays young people try to present a perfect appearance online
211、, social media isnt the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people cant avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized
212、testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades mi
213、ght have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties” onto their kids through “excessive (过多的) involvement in their childs routines, activities or emotions.”Those in the mental health community like Malmon say theyre
214、concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generations social justice issue,” she said. “Its our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that its not their fault.”24.What is the article mainly about?A

219、ome communication problems for the two countries first joint Olympic team as it prepares for 2018 Winter Games in Pyeong Chang. South Korea So, the joint womens hockey team has created its own dictionary. The three-page document translates important hockey terms from English into South Korean, and t
220、hen into North Korean.Canadian Sarah Murray is the teams coach. She says the document has helped everybody communicate. Team Korea was formed just two weeks ago after the two Koreas decided to suddenly cooperate during the Olympics. Twelve players from North Korea were then added to the 23-member So
221、uth Korean team.South Korea has incorporated many English words and phrases into its language. North Korea has removed foreign words and created substitutes from Korean words. To many South Koreans, the substitutes sound funny. .Language experts say about one-third of the everyday words used in the
222、two countries are different. The divide is wider with technical language, like that used for medical and sports industries. For example, South Korean hockey players use the English word pass, but their North Korean teammates say yeol lak or communication. North Koreans say nahl gay soo meaning wing
223、player. South Koreans call that position wing, like in English. South Koreans say block shot while North Koreans say buhduh make: or stretching to block.Murray admits that there are still some problems in communication even with the new dictionary. She said her South Korean assistant coach plays an
224、important part in bridging the divide. Some in South Korea have criticized the partnership. They argue that the addition of players from North Korea players may prevent South Korean players from playing as much. One early public opinion study found that about 70 percent of South Koreans opposed the

229、SubjectiveDPolice recently caught the suspected Golden State Killer using a tool they could only have dreamed of decades ago, when a shocking series of murders shook California: a database filled with peoples genetic data (基因数据).Police used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives w
230、ho matched genetic material taken from an old crime scene, then worked backward to identify and catch 72- year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.GEDmatchs 950, 000 users voluntarily upload and share their genetic information, making it accessible to others who share their own data incl
231、uding law enforcement (执法). More than a dozen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can be indirectly tracked through the combination of their DNA and the publicly avail
232、able family history,” says Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist at Harvard Medical School.Data sent to commercial companies like 23andMe, which has over 5 million customers, is much tougher for outsiders to access, but the case has still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy.Although many genet
233、ic-testing companies have been asked to cooperate with legal investigations (调查), and clearly warn customers of this possibility, not all requests are honored. “23andMe has never given customer information to law-enforcement officials, ” a company representative told TIME.The risks of keeping such s
234、ensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists; for example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage (保险项目), Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be working. One is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a 2008 l
235、aw that protects consumers from employment and insurance discrimination related to genetics. As long as thats the case, Green says, the good of genetic tests outweighs the bad.Sharon Zehe, a lawyer for the department of laboratory medicine and pathology at the Mayo Clinic, takes a more cautious appr

So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!Dr. Cho
291、ckalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a smile may be one way to help your heart. When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The chemicals that are released are more positive.” He says smiling is the first step in fitting physical and emotional stress
292、 and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New Age advice.Several studies support his opinion.When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones （荷尔蒙） including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure.
293、 Cortisol is the bodys main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response.However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever present in our bodies
294、. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.Researchers say the connection between stress and heart disease is still unclear; However, they claim that when people are stressed for long periods of time, they may have an unhealthy lifestyle, which can lead to health problems.Dr.
295、Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish:smiling forseemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is f
296、ree and it has no bad side effects.“Once people smile, they are relaxed. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health. And it just may provide a little extra protection to everyones heart he
