参考范文
Good afternoon,everyone!
It is my privilege to stand here to give you a speech on how to adjust to the senior school life and get along well with others.When stepping into the high school,we are likely to meet various difficulties,but there is no need to be anxious about it.
Among all matters we will meet is how to get along well with our classmates and teachers who will make the biggest difference during this period.If you had no friends in high school,you would feel school life as boring as dead water.As a consequence,I make an appeal that you should be honest and avoid conflicting with your classmates and teachers.Besides,once you’ve come into conflict with others,you should be brave enough to make a sincere apology first.Most importantly,we must show respect,concern and sympathy for others,never hesitating to lend a hand to those in need.
Above are my thoughts and suggestions.I hope they will be beneficial to you.Thanks for your listening.

Researchers at North Carolina State University are proposing an additional white traffic light that will act as a sign to human drivers and passengers that they should follow the lead of self-driving vehicles moving through intersections (十字路口).
Driving is fundamentally changing.In the future,human drivers will be sharing the road with autonomous vehicles.The transition to autonomous vehicles is progressing with each passing year and humans are no longer the only ones sitting behind an automobile’s steering wheel.This makes it urgent for traffic lights with a fourth color to become a reality.
The white traffic light would be equipped with wireless Bluetooth technology and would engage when the number of autonomous vehicles driving on the road at any given time exceeds a certain threshold (阈值).Autonomous vehicles would be in communication with each other and with the traffic lights at intersections,within a certain range.Any human drivers in the mix would be informed to follow the lead of the vehicle in front of them via the white light: stop if it stops,continue if it continues.
In simulation models,autonomous vehicles were shown to improve traffic flow on their own.The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at an intersection,the faster the traffic moved,with improvements of about 40 to 99 percent in terms of total delay reductions possible.“The white light can be used to coordinate (协调) traffic in any situation involving autonomous vehicles and tell human drivers what’s going on,so that they know what they are supposed to do as they approach the intersection,” says civil engineer Ali Hajbabaie.
As an example,most recently,Tesla’s problematic full-self-driving vehicles have been at the forefront of public criticism after a car crashed into a fire truck.Consequently,the potential risks linked to autonomous driving are what made North Carolina State University researchers suggest adding a fourth color to traffic lights in the coming years.

In conversations with strangers,people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable.But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong.Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new.However,it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.
In our research,we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%,40%,50%,60% of the time in a conversation with someone new.We found that the more they spoke,the more they were liked by their new partners.This was only one study with 116 participants,but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings.For example,a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener”.After engaging in 12-minute interactions,listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners.This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up:Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.
Further,we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time.The result shows it is not an ideal strategy.Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression.It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time.However,it does not reflect more natural conversations.Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.
5.What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers?
A.Speaking a little less is preferred.
B.Speaking half the time is the best.
C.Listeners are more likable than speakers.
D.Listeners fail to control the conversations.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In conversations with strangers,people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable.”可知,关于与陌生人交谈的普遍看法是“少说一点是更好的”。故选A。
6.How was the research carried out?
A.By analyzing speaking habits.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By listing examples.
D.By collecting data.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In our research,we randomly assigned...they spoke,the more they were liked by their new partners.”可知,该研究是通过比较不同说话时长对受欢迎程度的影响来实施的。故选B。
7.What is the disadvantage of the research?
A.The conversation time is limited.
B.Further study is hard to continue.
C.The findings are less widely applicable.
D.Interactions with strangers are missing.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However,it does not reflect...generalize to more natural interactions.”可知,这项研究的缺点是“这些研究发现的适用性不够广泛”。故选C。
8.In which situation can the research finding be applied?
A.Attending a family gathering.
B.Partying with your friends.
C.Meeting a new teacher.
D.Making a public speech.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了一项关于如何与陌生人互动交往的研究,所以该研究发现可以应用于“与一位新老师初次见面”的情境,其中new是关键词。故选C。
C
Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans,after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought.This discovery has changed what we know of human history.
The skull,which scientists have named “Mrs Ples”,is from an ape-like human relative from a species called Australopithecus africanus(南方古猿非洲种).It was found near Johannesburg in 1947 and,based on evidence from its surroundings,was thought to be between 2.1 and 2.6 million years old.This puzzled scientists,because although Mrs Ples looks like a possible early ancestor of early humans,the first true humans had already evolved by the time she apparently lived.For this reason,scientists had decided that Australopithecus afarensis,a similar species from East Africa that lived about 3.5 million years ago,was our most likely ancestor instead.
To get a more accurate age for Mrs Ples,a team led by Professor Darryl Granger of Purdue University in Indiana,US,used a new method to date the sandy rocks where the skull lay.They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks,which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays (宇宙射线) on Earth’s surface.Once rocks are buried,these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear;the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rocks (or bones) were on the surface.
The new study shows that Mrs Ples and other australopithecine bones nearby are between 3.4 and 3.7 million years old.This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives,so that either group could have given rise to modern humans.However,team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years,at only 2,500 miles away,these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other.In other words,the groups could quite easily have met,had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,在南非发现的一个著名的人类祖先头骨的年代比专家们认为的要早100万年。这一发现改变了我们对人类历史的认识。
9.What can we learn about Mrs Ples from the first two paragraphs?
A.It is a skull found in East Africa.
B.It is the most possible ancestor of humans.
C.It is a million years older than scientists expected.
D.It is proved to live between 2.1 and 2.6 million years ago.
答案 C

10.How did scientists get the accurate age of “Mrs Ples”?
A.By studying the effect of cosmic rays.
B.By calculating the forming rate of chemicals.
C.By locating the sandy rocks where the skull lay.
D.By measuring the surviving amount of chemicals.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段的“They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks...the surviving amount reveals...on the surface.”可知,科学家通过测量保存下来的化学物质的含量来得到“Ples夫人”的准确年龄。故选D。
11.What can we infer from the new study?
A.Modern humans came into being in East Africa.
B.Mrs Ples travelled and had children with East African relatives.
C.The history of modern humans might begin 3.5 million years ago.
D.Ape-like species from Africa could have interacted with each other.

Moran works at the California Academy of Sciences,which is capped by 2.5 acres of living roof where nearly 1.7 million plants,insects and birds flourish.The building has been painstakingly designed to be among one of the most environment-friendly in the world.Solar panels that surround the living roof provide 5% of the building’s energy,while water flowing through pipes in the bathrooms also generates power.Automatic skylights open and close to help regulate the temperature inside the building while natural sunlight is used to light the building as much as possible.During his 15 years at the academy(研究院),Moran has helped design,build and now maintain the building’s green systems.
Constructing new environment-friendly buildings like the one Moran works in is expected to generate more than 6.5 million jobs by 2030,according to predictions by the International Labor Organization.Next to energy,it will be the second fastest growing sector for green jobs in the coming decades.This jobs growth comes from a growing need for buildings that can deal with multiple problems:meeting tough climate-change targets;rising energy costs,water shortages and an increased risk of extreme weather conditions.This is driving a movement known as green building.
In 2000,just 41 new construction projects were officially rated as green buildings in the US.Last year,that figure had grown to more than 65,000.Elsewhere in the world there have been similar increases and it is a trend that is expected to continue.In China the government has set an ambitious goal as part of its five-year plan that requires 50% of all new urban buildings to be green certified.
Moran sees green building as requiring new skills that have not featured much in the building sector in the past.“It takes a different skill set to look after a living roof compared to normal landscaping,” he says.“You need to understand the environment,how the direction of the sun and wind will affect it.But we are also seeing technology being integrated into everything.”

“Towards thee I roll,thou all-destroying but unconquering whale;to the last I grapple with thee;from hell’s heart I stab at thee;for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.” Captain Ahab’s dying declaration of defiance(抗争) is among the most famous passages in Herman Melville’s novel.
In reality,such victories of the hunted over the hunter were a fantasy in the cruel world of industrial whaling.The biggest cetacean of them all,the blue whale,had all but disappeared from the Southern Ocean(南冰洋) by the time a ban on hunting it was introduced in 1967.
Sightings of the largest mammal ever to live on the earth had been rare in the region since then.Not any more.A survey of coastal waters around the island of South Georgia in the sub-Antarctic has had remarkable results.
In just over three weeks,in the krill-rich waters of what was once their main feeding ground,the movements of 55 Antarctic blues were recorded by the British Antarctic Survey.The finding was described as “truly,truly amazing” by one cetacean specialist.It suggests that when a comprehensive audit(审计),due in 2021,is carried out,there is a good chance that the species will prove to be in full recovery mode,as are humpbacks and other whales in the southern hemisphere.
In 2017,the Natural History Museum established a 25m skeleton(骨架) of a blue whale and named it Hope,intending to inspire new generations to build a sustainable future.
The return of the world’s most splendid ocean travellers to southern waters should serve as an example for wider possibilities of conservation.Ecological wrongs can be righted,or at least mitigated,with sufficient will and organisations.
The more general comeback of the whale—for which environmental campaigners should take a great deal of credit—can be an inspiration for victories yet to be won.It could also act as an added motivation to action on the climate emergency.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了经过人类多年的努力,蓝鲸正在逐步回归海洋。
5.What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning the famous passage in Herman Melville’s novel?
A.To describe a hunter’s bravery.

解析 推理判断题。根据第一段末句以及第二段首句可知,小说中猎物的胜利令人激动,而现实中鲸鱼被工业化捕杀迫害严重,由此可推知,作者提到赫尔曼·麦尔维尔的小说中的这一桥段是为了引出本文要讨论的话题。故选B。
6.Why was a 25m skeleton of a blue whale named Hope?
A.To attract tourists to visit the museum.
B.To show the unkindness of whale hunters.
C.To motivate humans to live harmoniously with nature.
D.To call on people to pay attention to the blue whales’ habitat.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段可知,一具25米长的蓝鲸骨架被命名为“希望”是为了激励人类与自然和谐相处,建设可持续发展的未来。故选C。
7.What does the underlined word “mitigated” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Developed. B.Promoted.
C.Reduced. D.Solved.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Ecological wrongs can be righted,or at least”以及后文“with sufficient will and organisations”可知,只要有足够的意愿和组织,生态错误是可以被纠正的,或者至少是可以减轻的。由此推断画线词“mitigated”意为“减少”,与reduced同义,故选C。

A.The Blue Whales’ Comeback
B.The Cruelty of Industrial Whaling
C.The Importance of Protecting Whales
D.The Sustainable Development of the Antarctic Area
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文尤其是第四段和最后一段可知,文章主要介绍了经过多年的努力,蓝鲸正在逐步回归海洋,这也激励人类继续保护环境。A选项“蓝鲸的回归”为本文最佳标题。故选A。
