英语试题
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)
第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
When I first started using Chinese websites, I was a bit confused by their design. Popular sites like Taobao and Jingdong are very “busy”—they are covered in dozens of links and flashing banners(闪烁的横幅广告). They often include a wide variety of bright colors as well, contrasting with the simple colors of most Western websites
So why are Chinese sites designed this way Some say that Chinese web design hasn’t “caught up” to standard Western web design practices. But I don’t think this quite explains it. Some Chinese sites are starting to look more minimal, such as Baidu, which are quite clean-looking.
A more convincing theory has to do with the Chinese language. There are no capital letters or spaces in Chinese writing—foreigners who are used to seeing these things might think that Chinese text looks very crowded.
Another thing that makes Chinese website look so busy is the large number of links. Some sites might have hundreds of links on their front page. Again, there is a language-related explanation.
It is difficult to type Chinese characters on a Roman alphabet-based keyboard. You have to type out each character using pinyin, which can be inconvenient. So it’s easier to just click the link you want, instead of typing what you’re looking for.
Or perhaps it could just be that sometimes people prefer flashy, busy websites. Browsing Jingdong is like stepping into a noisy, brightly-lit street market. So in this way, Chinese internet users might feel right at home when using these sites.
1．How does the author describe most Chinese websites
A．They have many links. B．They have simple designs.
C．They have simple colors. D．They are quite clean-looking.
2．According to the author, why are Chinese sites designed this way
A．Because they haven't caught up with Western standards.
B．To make them easier to use for Chinese speakers.
C．Because they are based on the use of the Roman alphabet.
D．To create a noisy online street market.
3．What does the underline word "minimal" in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Relaxing. B．Popular. C．Simple. D．Flashy.
B
They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.
The next day, after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon—by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, "STOP, TAKE US BACK!" When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I'd suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.
4．Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph
A．They made a careful preparation before the trip.
B．The children were more joyful than their parents.
C．Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
D．The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.
5．The underlined expression "Our legs were like jelly" probably means ______.
A．we were unhappy B．we were weak
C．we were dissatisfied D．we were disappointed
6．Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air
A．It proved to be frightening. B．It was more comfortable.
C．It turned out to be exciting. D．It made each of them tired.
7．We can infer from the passage that ____.
A．experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way
B．one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon
C．the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion
D．the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident
C
A smartphone program is helping scientists learn about changes taking place in nature. More than
100,000 citizen-scientists around the world are taking pictures of many kinds of plants and animals using a program called iNaturalist. The program gives researchers much information about where plants and animals live, and how a growing human population is changing plant and animal life.
In Arlington, Virginia, naturalists are making a record of the plants and animals that live in the heavily populated area.
Alonso Abugattas is the local government’s natural resources manager. He works to protect and improve Arlington’s natural spaces. The group is using the iNaturalist smartphone program to record its observations. Then iNaturalist users throughout the world can look at the images and try to help recognize them. The program records where and when the picture was taken. This lets experts like Abugattas and others create maps that show where plants and animals are living, and how that changes because of development and climate change. That is important in Arlington and around the world.
Scott Loarie is co-director of iNaturalist. He said species are dying at a faster speed than ever, and the mix of life on Earth is threatened. “And we’ve only begun to understand exactly how those ecosystems contribute to our food system, or human health—all these things that we depend on.”
Loarie says iNaturalist lets citizen-scientists help professional (专业的) scientists gather data of the wild plants and animals in the world. More than 100,000 iNaturalist observers on all seven continents have made more than four-and-a-half million observations. The information has been used in studies of other animals.
Alonso Abugattas says the group in Arlington recorded more than 450 kinds of animals and plants. “If you just open up your eyes to the natural world, you’d be amazed at what’s out there.”
8．Which of the following is the function of the iNaturalist smartphone program
A．Creating maps to show climate change.
B．Reminding experts to make out the photos.
C．Marking the time and places of the photos.
D．Writing down the names of species in the photos.
9．What did Scott Loarie want to tell us
A．The goal of iNaturalist.
B．The regret for dying species.
C．The importance of scientists.
D．The value of species to humans.
10．What do we know about the iNaturalist smartphone program
A．It calls on people in the world to change nature.
B．It gets wildlife information and data from all over the world.
C．It directly helps professional scientists to gather data.
D．It lets professional scientists pay attention to humans’ behaviors.
11．What can be the best title for the text
A．Two Heads Are Better Than One
B．A Cheap Way to Study Plants and Animals
C．Measures Are Being Taken to Protect Plants and Animals
D．Naturalists Use a Smartphone Programme to Take Photos of Wildlife
D
Forty-nine years ago, on April 22, 1970, twenty million Americans took to the streets to voice their concern about the deteriorating environment. The movement led to Earth Day.
Unfortunately, our planet is in worse shape now than it was when Earth Day was first celebrated. The good news is that it's still not too late to reverse（转变）climate change if we all do our part. This Earth Day, take the first step towards helping our planet by participating in one of these fun activities.
NASA is putting our planet up for adoption so you and your friend can apply for a portion（份额）of the planet as your own. The space agency has divided the globe into 64,000 sections, each about 55 miles wide. All you have to do is type your name into NASA's “Adopt the Planet” site and you will be offered the location of your “slice of paradise（天堂）”complete with details of its environment and climate. NASA hopes that this activity will inspire interest and care about our planet.
Search giant Google is also trying to engage the public with an updated Google Earth focused on Earth Day events. Through a new Voyager feature, users will be able to discover stories from around the world, learn about new places by reading “Knowledge Cards” and send postcards.
If you happen to be anywhere near the nation's capital on April 22, join the millions that are expected to participate in the Earth Day March at the National Mail. The mission of the event that will feature guest speakers and musical performances is to mobilize（动员）citizens into taking action by promoting this year's Earth Day theme；climate and environmental science literacy.
While participating in the above-mentioned activities is a great idea, it is just the beginning. All that is required are small lifestyle changes. Planting a tree or two, going meatless just one day a week, or switching your plastic water bottle for a reusable one will go a long way to help reverse the damage we have caused.
12．The underlined word “deteriorating" is the closest in meaning to____________.
A．cleaner B. worse C. better D．colder
13．In Adopt the Planet，you will be probably provided with the information about____________.
A．air quality B．ancient history C．local customs D．tourist attractions

B．They can participate in the Earth Day March.
C．They can gain more information on new places.
D．They can receive postcards coming from Google.
15．What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage
A．To point out the importance of Earth Day.
B．To inform people about several fun activities.
C．To express his concern about the environment.
D．To call on people to take action to protect our planet.

If something that you're doing doesn't challenge you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. ___16___ So challenge the following limits:
Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.

Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I'm not scared!”

With the development of society and economy, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can't see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. We can go to school on foot or by bike. Besides, we can use shopping baskets instead of plastic bags when we go shopping and we can use both sides of the paper when we write. In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our lives will be better.

If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. ___17___ But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I'm not scared!”
___18___ Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. So some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise. ___19___ A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people. Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the local people. You never know what kind of people they're going to be. ___20___
A．You should do it continuously.
B．Someone may hang up on you.
C．You don't need to go to the gym.
D．Running in the gym may be a better choice.
E．Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
F．Take a class for a hobby you've been wanting to develop.
G．You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.

With the development of society and economy, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can't see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. We can go to school on foot or by bike. Besides, we can use shopping baskets instead of plastic bags when we go shopping and we can use both sides of the paper when we write. In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our lives will be better.
