I decided to think of free or really cheap ways to make people smile. I knew I’d also have to deal with my shyness, or just create acts of kindness, but it was a challenge that I was willing to accept! When I was on the bus, the seat I sat on next to the window was wet; somehow the rain had gotten in. I left a note on the seat, with the Smile Card, saying, “This seat is wet: sit with caution (谨慎) !” Later, while waiting at the road crossing, I held my card over the woman standing in front of me. She didn’t notice but obviously those extra moments of dryness would help! After the interview I’d devised a few more ways to create smiles. I checked my purse for change and put 50 pence and a Smile Card on top of a child’s automatic ride. I allowed an elderly gentleman to go in front of me as he was having trouble standing. At this point, I was really beginning to accept my day of kindness! Before getting on the bus home. I had one more idea: I went and bought a small bag of chocolates and attached a Smile Card. When I got back to my street, I left the sweets and the Smile Card at a neighbour’s door. This neighbour had taken in a parcel (包裹) for me last week, so he deserved a treat. After all this, my day of giving wasn’t yet over! I was so pleased that I managed to do all these little things for others today. It didn’t take much effort on my part, but I definitely had to push myself to overcome (克服) my lack of confidence, and I’m proud of myself. 4. What difficulty does the writer have to overcome? A. The job interview. B. The terrible weather. C. Poor ability to pay. D. The shyness character. 5. What does the underlined word “devised” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Thought up. B. Focused on. C. Cut out. D. Looked forward to. 6. Why did the writer give the sweets and the Smile Card to the neighbour? A. To please the neighbour’s children. B. To thank the neighbour for the help last week. C. To receive a welcome treat from the neighbour. D. To try to trouble the neighbour to take in his parcel. 7. What message does the writer convey? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Any act of kindness matters. C. Shyness makes it difficult to succeed. D. Believe in yourself first, then others will believe you. C The African continent has seen its average monthly temperatures rise by 0.5 — 2 degrees Celsius over the past century, with up to another two degrees of warming projected for the next 100 years. The changing climate will break historical rainfall patterns, but which of these, temperature or rainfall, will have the most impact on a species, like rhinos (犀牛) ? “Generally speaking, most, if not all, species will. in one way or another, be affected by the changing climate,” says lead author Hlelowenkhosi S. Mamba, who completed this research. It is therefore important to catch tendency (趋势) and model futures for some of the world’s weakest species. It can help prepare to reduce climate change’s effects, hence reducing global biodiversity losses. To understand how our changing climate will affect rhino populations, Mamba and Timothy Randhir, professor of environmental protection, focused their efforts on the five large national parks that are home to most of the rhinos. Mamba and Randhir then modeled two scenes for each of the parks: the IPCC’s high-emissions (排放) scenes and a more moderate (适度的) emissions scenes. They projected temperature and rainfall for each of the scenes out to 2055 and 2085 to arrive at a possibility that each park would remain suitable for the rhinos. Nearly every park will become increasingly drier as emissions increase. This is all very bad news for the rhinos, because the team also found that, though the change in rainfall will not be most suitable for the rhinos, the changes in temperature are greater than what the species can bear. “The temperature conditions in all study parks will become increasingly unsuitable for the species. And under the high-emissions scenes, the possibility of occurrence of the species falls to zero by 2085,” the authors write. But to be forewarned is to be prepared in advance. “We propose that park managers think now about increasing water supplies, tree cover, watching for stress and planning to allow rhinos to move from one place to another place as the world warms,” says Randhir. 8. Why does the author ask a question in Paragraph 1? A. To show an evidence. B. To stress the main idea. C. To lead in the topic. D. To offer some background. 9. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on? A. The means of the research. B. The content of the research. C. The process of the research. D. The significance of the research. 10. What can we know about the research from the text? A. Changes in rainfall have a greater effect on rhinos. B. Each park will have no rhinos in 2055. C. Changes in temperature affect rhinos more. D. Each park will be warmer by 4. 5℃ in 2085. 11. What does Randhir mean in the last paragraph? A. Rhinos are better suited to natural growth. B. Rhinos are in great danger in the five parks. C. Park managers should plan to protect rhinos. D. Park managers must pay more attention to nature. D Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that conducts itself with three behaviours at the same time: rolling (翻滚) forward. turning like a record and following a path that goes around a central point. The equipment, which operates without human or computer control, holds promise for developing soft robots that can be used to AA-head and map unknown environments. The new soft robots are called twisted ring-bots (扭曲环机器人) . They are made of something like the ribbon (缎带) and then joined together at the end to form a ring. When the robots are placed on a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surrounding air, one part of the ribbon touching the surface becomes smaller, while one part in the air does not. This induces a rolling movement: the warmer the surface, the faster the robot rolls. “The ribbon rolls on its horizontal axis (横轴) , giving the ring forward strength,” says Jie Yin, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. The twisted ring-bot also turns along its central axis. And as the twisted ring-bot moves forward it travels in a path around a central point, basically moving in a large circle. However, if the twisted ring-bot meets a boundary- like the wall of a box-it will travel along the boundary. The twisted ring-bots are examples of equipment whose behaviour is governed by physical intelligence, meaning their actions are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made of, rather than being directed by a computer or human. “Soft robotics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways to control the movement of soft robots in a repeatable and engineered way moves the field forward. And advancing our understanding of what is possible is exciting.” 12. What makes the robot roll faster and faster? A. The ribbon. B. The central axis. C. The shape and material. D. The higher surface temperature. 13. How does the author introduce the new soft robots? A. By explaining the robot’s working ways. B. By quoting experts’ opinions. C. By making some comparisons. D. By offering reasons and results. 14. What is Yin’s attitude towards twisted ring-bots? A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Negative. D. Doubtful. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The New Soft Robots B. Ribbons and Their Rolling C. Three Creative Movements D. Twisted Rings and the Axis 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5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。 4 Reasons Why Wild Animals Are So Important As we know, the earth gives us food, medicines and materials, often through wild animals.

He was a black-letter sight, standing at the front of our second-grade class. He shifted (转换) from foot to foot as our teacher, Mrs. Lydia wrote his name in the roll book. We weren’t sure what to make of the newcomer in worn-out clothes. “Attention! This is Mike Duncan,” Mrs. Lydia said with as much enthusiasm (热情) as possible. Looking around and smiling, Mike hoped somebody would smile back. Although nobody did, he kept on laughing from ear to ear anyway. Unfortunately, Mike had found a firm footing at the bottom of our school’s social ladder (阶梯) by the end of his first week. In fact he was pleasant to be around and was by far the most energetic boy I knew. After lunch each day, we joined forces to conquer (征服) the playground, moving from monkey bars to swing set to sandbox. As we lined up behind Mrs. Lydia for the march back to class, I made up my mind that Mike would remain friendless no longer. I said one night as Mother pushed me into bed, “Mum, tomorrow is his birthday; and he’s not going to get anything. Mike’s mother worked all day in the orchards (果园) . His special day would go unnoticed.” “Don’t worry,” Mum said as she kissed me good night. I wished Mike a happy birthday in the next morning; and his smile showed me that he was glad I had remembered. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a terrible day after all. By mid-afternoon I had almost decided that birthdays weren’t that big a deal. Then, as Mrs. Lydia was writing on the blackboard, I heard a familiar sound coming from the hallway. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A voice I knew was singing the birthday song. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mike generously shared his cake with the class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高一英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前、先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答;字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5. 本卷主要考查内容：北师大版必修第一册～选择性必修第一册Unit 1 Lesson 3。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

To begin with, some students are weak in English, including listening and speaking. Please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides. we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for important points that make us confused, would you please give us more practice in class in case we forget? Meanwhile, it would help a lot if you could assign us less homework so that we can do it more efficiently. We would appreciate it if you would consider our suggestions and make some adjustments. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】 A voice I knew was singing the birthday song. Moments later, Mother came through the door with a basket of cupcakes. Under her arm was a smartly wrapped present with a red bow on top. Mrs. Lydia’s high-pitched voice joined in while the class stared at me for an explanation. The class felt amazed at first and then excitedly sang along. Mother found Mike, put the cupcakes and gift on his desk and said, “Happy birthday, Mike.” So grateful was Mike that he smiled with tears in his eyes. Mike generously shared his cake with the class. Offering cupcakes proudly and accepting sincere wishes from everyone, he could not conceal his happiness with a wave of applause and cheer erupting from the class. Never before had I seen such a moving scene in my life! Happy for Mike, I cast a thankful glimpse at Mother, who smiled and winked at me in return. Years having melted by, I remember the day vividly: the soft tones of my mother’s voice, the flash in a boy’s eyes and the taste of the sweetest cupcake. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
