11、读理解（满分40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。21（6分）No spacecraft will ever land on the sun. the sun is a flaming ball of gas that reaches thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. But next year, a ship from Earth will fly closer to it than any man made craft has flown before. The mission(任务)is a big developmen

12、t for scientists and, maybe, for everyone else.In September 2018, NASA plans to launch the Parker Solar Probe. After a journey of nearly 90 million miles, it will fly within 3.8 million miles of the sun. within two months of launching, the probe is expected to reach the suns corona(日冕). Thats the su

13、ns outer atmosphere of gases.Getting there wont be easy. Designing a spacecraft tough enough to hold up to the suns heat has proved difficult. But that hasnt stopped engineers from trying. Temperatures in the corona can reach millions of degrees. The probe will limit itself to regions where things g

14、et no hotter than 2,500oF. Thats still a heavy heat load for a spacecraft. 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, it

15、s rather common. So the better we understand how it works, the better we understand all stars of its mass and color.Perhaps the most important is what the probe may show us about solar storms. During solar storms, charged particles stream through the solar system. They can disable communications sat

16、ellites and shut down powder systems. One study has found that a very intense solar storm could cause up to $2 trillion in damage in the US alone. It could also black out the East Coast for a year.Understanding solar storms might allow us to predict them and protect ourselves. That could make even a

17、 mission with a billion-plus price tag one of NASAs great bargains.1、What can we learn about the probe?AItll fly closer to the sun that the previous onesBIts the first man made instrument to fly to the sunCItll get to the core of the sun in nearly two monthsDItll fly about 3.8 million miles to reach

18、 the corona.2、What is the challenge for the engineers?ADirecting the probe to collect dataBReducing the temperature of the probeCBuilding a shield against the heatDLimiting the probe to proper regions3、What might be the best title?AExploring the stars BGetting close to the sunCDesigning a spaceship

19、DProtecting the earth4、Where does the value of the mission lie?AMonitoring satellites BExploring solar energyCDeveloping scientific instruments DForecasting solar storms22（8分） Clyde, a small-clawed otter, was moved from Auckland Zoo to Wellington Zoo two months ago. The zookeepers hoped he and the o

20、ther otter Bonnie might start a family together.But only two days after he arrived, Clyde went missing. He had dug his way under one of the walls and was nowhere to be seen.The zookeepers set up cages inside the zoo, with plates of Clydes favorite fish in them, hoping to catch him.Two days went by a

21、nd still there was no sign of Clyde.At last a couple saw Clyde at their house a whole kilometer away in Newtown. Clyde was hiding in an out-of-reach hole outside their laundry.The zookeepers arrived and set up some more traps to try to catch him. But Clyde is a pretty smart otter. Twice he managed t

22、o get the fish out of a trap without being caught.Five days after hed escaped Clyde s days on the run came to an end when he was finally caught in one of the traps.It was no good putting Clyde back in his old home-hed only dig his way out again. So he and Bonnie were put into the zoo hospital. There

23、 was no chance of their escaping from there.Meanwhile, the zookeepers were working hard to make Clydes old home safer. They put an iron barrier underground to stop him digging his way out. Then Bonnie and Clyde went home again.But a month after his first escape, Clyde was out again. Once more the zo

24、okeepers came hurrying to catch Clyde. They found him by following the bubbles he made in the river nearby.Nobody knew how Clyde had escaped. But this time he was only out for an hour. So back he went to the hospital again.Poor Clyde. It seemed that he wasnt happy at Wellington Zoo, even though he a

25、nd Bonnie were getting on well together. The keepers didnt like seeing him unhappy, so they planned to look for a home for him somewhere else.1、Where was Clyde found after his first escape?ABack in Auckland Zoo.BIn a river nearby.CAt a house a kilometer away.DIn the zoo hospital.2、How did zookeepers

26、 catch Clyde after his second escape?AThey set up cages in the zoo.BThey attracted Clyde with fish.CThey dug a hole outside his home.DThey followed the bubbles in the water.3、What do we know about Clyde?AHe often gets ill.BHe is good at digging.CHe likes hiding in a hole.DHe escaped to meet Bonnie.4

27、、Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?AA news report.BAn advertisement.CA book review.DA research paper.23（8分） Have you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard, maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phra

28、se “calm before the storm”, often used in a situation-a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm?A period of calm happens in a particula

29、r kind of storm, the simplest kind of storm-a single-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main stream of current, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrou

30、nding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low-pressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already e

31、xisted in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapor in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles(颗粒) like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keep

32、s moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air is squeezed out at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers

33、 a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Thats because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before

34、 the storm, it might be really windy!1、Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?AA thunderstorm with a single shape.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA storm with air drawn from every direction.DA storm fueled by moving air from the ground.2、What does the underlined word “it

35、” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AWarm and wet air.BWarm and dry air.CCold and wet air.DCold and dry air.3、Which does the writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable air.BAll thunderstorms dont start with the calm.CThe drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DStorm happens wit

36、hout air moving up and down.4、What is the passage mainly about?AA brief introduction of a peaceful storm.BA personal experience of a heavy storm.CAn explanation of the calm before a storm.DAn analysis of causes and effects of a storm.24（8分） A large body of research has been developed in recent years

37、 to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effe

38、ctive method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited rese

39、rvoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation al

40、lows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study sel

41、f-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of

42、 self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Years Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single go

43、al at a time. In other words, dont try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventual

44、ly healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.1、From the studies in the passage we learn that .Apeople have unlimited self-controlBhigh motivation ensures ones successCwillpower is hardly completely exhaustedDtoo many temptations often lead to failure2、The underline

45、d phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .Amake use ofBrun out ofCbuildDincrease3、The author compares self control to muscles .Ato prove the long-term effect of willpowerBto show the significance of regular exerciseCto argue that self-control can he easily used upDto explain the benefi

46、ts of practicing self-control4、To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A“I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B“I will set three goals this new semester.”C“I will read an English novel every month.”D“I will keep myself from any temptation.”25（10分） Each year，millions

47、 of children around the world are unable to go to school. To draw attention to this widespread problem，the United Nations（UN）is putting education first. Recently，the UN screened a documentary film called Back to School. The film is the second in a series of documentaries（纪录片）for the project Time for School. These films follow seven children f
