Vocabulary The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary.For example,Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays;New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats.There are far more examples than we can talk about here.Fortunately,most Americans and Brits can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence. Past Tense Verbs You'll also find some differences with past forms of irregular verbs.The past tense of “leam”in American English is“learned'”.British English has the option(选择)of"learned'" or“learnt'.The same rule applies to“dreamed'and“dreamt'”,“burned''and“bumt,and "leaned"and"leant".Americans tend to use the -ed ending;Brits tend to use the-t ending Spelling There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American English. Noah Webster,an author,politician and teacher,made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s.Webster wanted to spell words the way they sounded.You can see Webster's legacy (in the American spelling of words like color (from colour),honor (from CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP honour),and labor(from labour). Not So Different After All British and American English have far more similarities than differences.With the exception of some regional dialects(),most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty. They watch each other's TV shows,sing each other's songs and read each other's books.They even make fun of each other's accents. 21.Which of the following is a group of American words? A.Vacation;holiday;learnt B.Apartment;flat;dreamed C.Vacation;apartment;learned D.Holiday;flat;dreamt 22.What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph? A.They both have some strange words. B.They are affecting people using them C.They connect people of the two countries.D.Their differences have little effect on communication. 23.Where is the text most likely from? A.A diary. B.A magazine. C.A guidebook. D.A novel. B A farmer,Isaiah Hofer in Manitoba,Canada,faced a big challenge earlier this year.With nearly 100,000 bags unsold potatoes,each weighing 100 pounds,Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food.He was dysphoric and couldn't think of a better way.It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste. Luckily,some public service organizations knew about his situation and came to help in time.The Farmlink Project was the first to offer help.It turned the potential waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America.The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since it was founded four years ago.It has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce to those in need across the United States and beyond. Hofer's difficult situation also caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association.It quickly got in touch with Hofer and the Farmlink Project.They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes.To everyone's surprise,Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return.After that,115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto,British Columbia, San Diego,and New Mexico. Kate Nelson,chief marketing officer and co-founder of the Farmlink Project,took part in the event and saw the whole process.He said this was one of the largest contributions the project has ever met. 第2页共6页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP Reflecting on the experience,Hofer expressed his gratitude to these public service organizations and his happiness in being able to give back."When you are blessed with so much, it's just good to give back...and I'm just glad we could do that,"he shared. 24.What does the underlined word "dysphoric"in the first paragraph mean? A.Curious. B.Amazed. C.Anxious. D.Confident. 25.How did public service organizations manage to deal with Hofer's potatoes? A.By contributing them to other countries. B.By providing money to give them out. C.By selling them to other areas of the country. D.By transporting them to other organizations. 26.What does Hofer try to convey in the last paragraph? A.His decision to help others. B.His excitement and thanks. C.His regret about the potatoes. D.His lesson learnt from the experience. 27.Which can be the best title for the text? A.A Poor Farmer B.Always Be Ready to Help Others C.Manitoba Great Potato Rescue D.Ways to Deal with Waste Potatoes Q California researchers developed a glove with built-in electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language(ASL)into English in real time through an app on your smartphone. Unlike its past counterparts,the new glove is lightweight,inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully,this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them. The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device,simultaneously teaching a machine how to recognize them. The glove has thin,stretchable sensors made from"electrically conducting yarns"that run up each finger and change the movements into signals.These signals are sent to a "dollar-coin- sized"circuit board placed on the person's wrist,which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone. The system was able to recognize 660 hand motions and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet,different phrases and each number.The program recognized the correct signs about 99%of the time,and in less than one second-or about a tone word per second. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants'eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to "capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL".The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it.Take the word MUCH for instance.The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same. Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores. 28.Who is the new glove intended for? A.Translators.B.Deaf people. C.English learners. D.Sign language users. 29.What does Paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove? A.Its reliability.B.Its compositions.C.Its working principle. D.Its broad applications. 30.How do researchers improve the glove's correctness of recognition? A.By connecting it wirelessly to smartphones. B.By integrating facial expressions into gestures. C.By lengthening the time of catching gestures. D.By inputting more letters and words in English. 31.What will researchers do with the glove in the future? A.Bring it to market. B.Update its outlook. C.Extend its service life. D.Improve its performance. D One of the key necessary things needed for life is phosphorus ()and a large number of lightning strikes that happened when Earth was young 4 billion years ago may have unlocked the necessary amount of phosphorus to create the foundation for life,according to a new study. Phosphorus is needed in the molecules (that form basic cell structures,said Benjamin Hess, study author from Yale University.However,"most phosphorus on early Earth was trapped in minerals that aren't dissolved (in water,meaning they couldn't be used to make molecules needed for life," Hess said."Lightning strikes provide a new mechanism for creating phosphorus in a form that's crucial to life.” It's long thought that meteorites (delivered the necessary elements for life to appear on Earth. Meteorites have been known to contain schreibersite ()a phosphorus mineral that can be dissolved in water.If enough of them crashed into Earth,that schreibersite could have provided the right amount of phosphorus.However,life began between 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago,and that's when fewer meteorites were impacting Earth. 第3页共6页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP Fortunately,schreibersite has another source in fulgurite(闪电熔岩)，a kind of glass that forms when lightning strikes the ground.Fulgurite has been found to contain phosphorus and it can be dissolved. Hess and his fellow researchers studied the rate of lightning on early Earth,and found that,on Earth today,we experience about 560 million lightning flashes per year,while on early Earth,that number was anywhere between 1 and 5 billion annually.Over a billion years, that could have caused one quintillion lightning strikes and much phosphorus. Lightning was more prevalent on early Earth because there was more Co2 in the atmosphere.Carbon dioxide contributes to the global temperature,and a higher global temperature causes more frequent and intense thunderstorms,Hess said. Understanding the role of lightning strikes has implications in the search for life beyond Earth."Our findings are likely applicable to any planet with an atmosphere that produces lightning.So long as a planet has a significant amount of lightning,it'd have a source of phosphorus needed for the birth of life,"Hess said. 32.What can we know about phosphorus on early Earth? A.It was very difficult to access. B.It was impossible to produce. C.It was enough for life to form. D.It existed mainly in water. 33.What's the main idea of paragraph 3? A.How life on Earth came into being B.How often meteorites impacted the Earth. C.Why life on Earth doesn't originate from meteorites. D.What people's opinions on the origin of life on Earth are. 34.What can be inferred from the passage? A.The rate of lightning on early Earth is less than today. B.Carbon dioxide results in the higher global temperature. C.More CO2 in the atmosphere accounted for more lightning D.Thunderstorms have almost nothing to do with global temperature. 35.What can we know from Hess's words in the last paragraph? A.He is showing the results of their study. B.He is explaining the significance of their findings. C.He is suggesting a way to find the origin of life on Earth. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP D.He is commenting on the research methods of his team. 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。 Are you a student who always feels stressed?If the answer is yes,you are not alonc.School can be stressful unless you know how to manage your stress. Learn to deal with your tasks. 36 But the biggest one is the tasks and learning materials students need to deal with continually. This is why one of the simplest ways to reduce stress for students is to deal with some of the work.The best choice for students is the job writing service Edubirdie.At the company,students can find expert writers who will take over some of their tasks. Make changes in your food. Stress management for students starts with what they eat.This might come as a surprise.37What you need to manage stress and keep yourself focused on your school tasks is a proper diet.We are talking about food rich in vegetables,fruits,meat and whole grains. Find a way to exercise properly. When asked why they aren't exercising often,most students say that they don't have the time or energy for it.38And the best part is,you don't need'to exercise for hours every day.You can try easier activities.For example,after a long day of study,taking a walk at night can make up your energy.Take the stairs instead of the lift every day.39 Don't cut down on your sleep. When you are too worried,you cannot act at your best.The tasks have taken you more time than they should,and you simply have no time left to study or write.When this happens,most students will reduce their sleep to focus on their duties.40 If you keep reducing sleep,this will make you more worried. A.This is a great mistake. B.Walk to school or other places. C.Ty to avoid fatty food and sugar. D.School is stressful for a number of reasons. E.But your food is one of the keys to your energy levels. F:But exercise is what will actually raise your energy levels.
