We can probably read this passage from ______.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ A. a textbook B. a school website C. a travel guide D. a science magazine B Scientists have been studying Antarctica for over a century, but details as basic as what it looks like beneath all that ice have largely remained a mystery. Now, Earther reports that a team of scientists from Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and the UK has published the most detailed data on the continent’s subglacial topography（冰川下的地形）near the South Pole. As they report in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, central Antarctica is home to three large canyons（峡谷）, one of which is deeper than the Grand Canyon and nearly as wide at some points. The researchers made the discovery by flying a plane with radar over the South Pole, a spot that isn’t covered by imaging satellites. They expected to find mountains beneath the ice sheet, but the wide canyons they found between the mountains came as a surprise. Of the three canyons, two hadn’t been documented previously. The largest, the Foundation Trough, measures 218 miles long, up to 22 miles wide, and 6,260 feet deep, putting it up there with the planet’s most impressive canyons. The discoveries are significant on their own, but the real purpose behind the research is to better understand how the West and East Antarctic Ice Sheets will react to rising temperatures. Human-caused climate change has destabilized some of the continent’s ice, and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet 英语·第 9 页 英语·第 10 页 especially has been slowly crumbling （崩塌） into the sea. If patterns continue, the coastal glaciers supporting the large ice sheets could fall down, causing sea levels to rise a minimum of 10 feet. If this happens, the canyons could be a major factor in the speed and direction of ice flow from central Antarctica to the coast. The event isn’t likely to happen in the near future, but further study of Antarctica’s topography will help scientists to better predict when it might. 4. According to the text, the researchers found the new canyons ________. A. as planned B. by accident C. in the sea D. with satellites 5. What can be known about the canyons according to paragraph 4? A. They are likely to affect ice flow. B. They cause ice sheets to crumble. C. They stop ice flowing into the sea. D. They help to cool ice sheets down. 6. What does the author think of the further study of Antarctica’s topography? A. It’s confusing. B. It’s quite easy. C. It’s meaningful. D. It’s challenging. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Rising Temperatures Cause Sea Levels to Rise B. Massive Canyons Are Found Beneath Ice Sheets C. Antarctica Still Remains Unknown to the Public D. Antarctica’s Topography Will Be Predicted Soon C The Trades Union Congress(TUC) has urged the government to use high productivity from the greater use of robots and artificial intelligence to reverse(推翻) planned changes to the state retirement age. Before its annual congress in Brighton, the TUC said higher productivity thanks to technological 英语·第 11 页 英语·第 12 页 innovation(革新) ought to bring greater benefits for working people. It said recent progress had mainly benefited business owners, rather than being shared across the workforce through better wages and working conditions. Frances O'Grady, the TUC general secretary, said: "Robots and Al could let us produce more for less, promoting national prosperity. But we need a debate about who benefits from this wealth, and how workers get a fair share." There have been previous waves of technological advances since the first Industrial Revolution, when inefficient jobs have been replaced by machines or the number of people required to do work has been reduced. Such advances have not led to a total loss of jobs, but have disturbed the type of work people do. There are concerns that the current stage of innovation could be more damaging, while the rewards from higher productivity have not necessarily led to higher wages. The latest available figures show low unemployment unseen since the mid-1970s, but growth in real wages remains negative. In 1950, almost one in three workers worked in manufacturing, while one in twelve worked in professional and technical services. By 2016 the proportions(比例) had changed completely, but in the communities which were affected, the jobs lost in manufacturing were not replaced by jobs of similar or better quality. Wages in former industrial areas were still 10% below the national average. The increase in the state retirement age by seven years, which was controversially(有争议的) brought forward by the Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke, is expected to affect about 7 million people in their late 30s and early 40s. As well as reversing the proposal on the retirement age, the TUC said workers should be given the right to a midlife career review, while firms should invest more in workplace training. At present, the UK invests just half of the EU average, it said. O'Grady said: "Robots are not just terminators. Some of today's jobs will not survive, but new jobs will be created. We must make sure that tomorrow's jobs are no worse than today's." 8. According to the TUC, the use of robots and artificial intelligence should result in ______. A. technological advances B. higher levels of productivity C. benefits for working people D. more wealth of business owners 9. It can be inferred that the waves of technological advances ______. 英语·第 13 页 英语·第 14 页 A. had a great influence on the labor structure B. tended to be more damaging than constructive C. were the outcome of the Industrial Revolution D. slowly raised the real income of working people 10. What can we learn about the proposal of David Gauke? A. It is strongly opposed by the TUC. B. It will help to create new types of jobs. C. It has produced a widespread influence. D. It reflects the real needs of economic growth. 11. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Technological innovation has contributed to people's wage increases. B. The government plans to delay retirement age, from which 7 million people will suffer. C. The use of robots and artificial intelligence is only beneficial to the national prosperity. D. O'Grady holds an idea that new jobs in the future must be ensured to be at least as good as today's. D In New York City public schools, 176 different languages are spoken among the more than 1 million students. For 160,000 children, English is not their first language. New York's Department of Education makes learning better for these students by providing dual-language(双语) programmes. Students are taught in two languages, English and another one, like Russian or Chinese. Maths, social studies, science and all other regular courses are taught in both languages so that they could learn about the culture of the other countries. Milady Baez is Deputy Chancellor of English Language Learners and Student Support. She says, "The jobs of the future require that our students know more than one language. They are going to be travelling abroad; they are going to be communicating with people from all over the world. This will open doors for them." Middle-schoolers might not have jobs on their minds yet. For Kequing Jaing, she likes keeping up her first language, Mandarin. "It makes me feel that I am home because I can speak in Chinese and learn in 英语·第 15 页 英语·第 16 页 Chinese, while learning in English. So it makes me feel better and makes me understand more about the task I'm learning." Anastasia Hudikova came to the United States when she was two years old. She says the Russian-English programme keeps her connected to her heritage(文化遗产) and her parents. The New York schools also offer dual-language programmes in seven other languages: Arabi, French, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Korean, Polish and Spanish. There are plans to add even more languages in the future. While these dual-language programmes are popular, educators in the US say that teaching English comes first. Anyway English is the official language of the United States. Studies show that children who learn English early will be more successful later. 12. Why are many courses of public schools in New York City taught in both languages？ A. To get the students to know about the cultures of other countries. B. To encourage more students to go abroad to study further. C. To attract more students to study in the public schools. D. To show the advantages of studying in the public schools. 13. How does the text introduce the fact that it's important to learn different languages？ A. By making comparisons B. By listing people's attitudes. C. By making the situation clear. D. By giving some numbers. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph？ A. More languages have been added to the New York City schools. B. It's unnecessary to learn more languages in New York City. C. English should be a must though different languages are taught. D. English is spoken by the largest number of people in the world. 15. What is the best title of the passage？ A. English, Out of Date？ B. The Newest Fashion in New York City C. The Education in New York City 英语·第 17 页 英语·第 18 页 D. Dual-language, to Be or Not？ 二、阅读七选五（本大题共 5 小题，共 10.0 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Childhood obesity puts kids at risk for cardiovascular disease, bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and potential social and psychological problems. (1) Of course, the CDC recommends healthy lifestyle choices—healthy eating, physical exercise. (2) That is to provide a safe and supportive environment where healthy lifestyle choices can be made. What don't kids need? (3) Too much focus on overweight leads toward more weight gain. A new data analysis of two studies found that children whose parents considered them to be “overweight” tended to gain more weight over 10 years than children whose parents considered them “normal weight”. Children whose parents label them as “overweight” had a negative self-perception about their bodies. They were engaged in more attempts to lose weight. (4) he clear message from this study is that dieting is more likely to lead to weight gain, not weight loss, in both children and adults. Psychology researchers Eric Robinson and Angelina Sutin argue that the stigma of being labeled overweight as a child might actually gain weight in the future. (5) For the study, children's height and weight were measured at age 4 or 5,and parents were asked to describe whether they thought the children were best described as underweight, normal weight, overweight or very overweight. When the children were 12 or 13,they used images to best depict what they perceived their bodies to look like and were asked whether or not they engaged in any dieting behavior. Height and weight measurements were taken again when the children were 14 or 15 years old. A. Labels and pressure around weight and weight gain. B. Left untreated, these problems can continue into adulthood. C. They also point out another important way to keep kids healthy. 英语·第 19 页 英语·第 20 页 D. The researchers cannot be certain about what is driving. E. They analyzed the data from a study of Australian children. F. But it actually contributed to weight gain over the 10-year period. G.

It was clear to Frank that the family inside was in danger. Would the man have a weapon? Would he be strong enough to overpower him before he could harm the people inside? Frank's heart was racing with fear. He reached for his cellphone to call the police, but found it out of power. If only he had charged his phone before leaving the office, but it was too late. Paragraph 2: 英语·第 41 页 英语·第 42 页 Frank couldn't just stand in the dark and wait. He had to do something, even if it meant risking his own life.

The clatter woke up the people inside the house and a light came on upstairs. The man froze, not quite knowing what had just happened. Lights came on everywhere in the house and within a minute the night was filled with sounds of police sirens screaming towards Oakfield House. 【解析】【试题解析】 【原文大意】本文以时间为线索展开。午夜时分 Frank 走在路上，总感觉有人跟着自己，他放慢脚 步，发现一个身穿大衣，帽檐遮脸的人，Frank 与其交谈，试图表现出镇定的样子，而那人并不理 睬，只顾着问 Oakfield House 怎么走。Frank 好奇陌生人为什么这么晚要去 Oakfield House，并且住 在那里的人非常富有。想到这些，Frank 决定悄悄跟随谋生人看他到底要做什么，在 Oakfield House 外，Frank 看到陌生人等灯全熄灭后翻墙进入了 Oakfield House 里面…… 【段落续写】 第一段开头是：现在 Frank 知道这个男人要干什么了。可能 Frank 猜出这个男子是盗贼。接下来 Frank 会做什么呢？ 第二段开头是：Frank 不能站在那里干等。他又在等什么呢？很有可能 Frank 报了案，他认为不能 干等着警察来。所以第一段续写 Frank 报案，第二段 Frank 接下来采取了什么措施，最后盗贼被擒 住。 【续写线索】 Frank 想知道陌生人做什么——Frank 害怕地思索着——想拿手机——发现手机没电——发现石头 ——扔出窗外——引起注意——警察来了 【词汇激活】 行为类： ①拿：reached for /get ②发现：found/discovered/knew ③扔：throw/toss 情绪类： 英语·第 43 页 英语·第 44 页 ①害怕：fear/scared/frightened 【高分句型】 ①Everyone knew that Oakfield House was filled with artwork worth millions of dollars. （that 引导宾语 从句） ②It was clear to Frank that the family inside was in danger.（that 引导主语从句，it 作形式主语） 42.【答案】Dear Linda, ①Knowing that you are interested in Chinese silk, I am writing to invite you to a Chinese Silk Culture Festival to be held from April 20th to 26th in the City Hall.
