英语学科试题
第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：（共15小题，每题2分，满分30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。
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抰 揷aught up to standard Western web design practices. But I don抰 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梖oreigners 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抯 easier to just click the link you want, instead of typing what you抮e 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. Because they are based on the use of the Roman alphabet.
C. To make them easier to use for Chinese speakers.
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
Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to 搇ook at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范围) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
4. The writer thinks that one must ___________.
A. read as many books as he can
B. read books on the subjects that interest him
C. read and absorb a lot
D. try to read books on all the different subjects
5. A cultured man is similar to a camel because __________.
A. neither of them is interested in knowledge
B. both of them have the ability to select
C. neither of them can be considered wise
D. the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
6. The term 搈ental food refers to ____________-.
A. grassland B. subjects
C. books D. brain
7. In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses___________.
A. how to compare furniture with books B. why books must be absorbed
C. how to select reading materials D. why students go to a library
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抯 natural resources manager. He works to protect and improve Arlington抯 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. 揂nd we抳e only begun to understand exactly how those ecosystems contribute to our food system, or human health梐ll 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. 揑f you just open up your eyes to the natural world, you抎 be amazed at what抯 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 directly helps professional scientists to gather data.
C. It gets wildlife information and data from all over the world.
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
A US girl's dream to end poverty started with a walk down a street in downtown Fresno in California, US. Kaitlin Riffel was visiting her father at work -the Fresno Rescue Mission, a shelter for the homeless and those in need.
"I never realized there were people in the world who didn't have a home or food before," recalled Kaitlin, who is now 16. "I knew there was something I had to do about that." At age 8. she started raising money to build a playground at Rescue the Children, an organization in Fresno for women and children in need. "It took me two years, but my sisters and I raised S365（2,520vuan）," Kaitlin said. 揥e started small. We knew we wanted to do something to make a difference."
The amount jumped to $80,000 the following year after the girls worked with friends, and the playground was built in 2013. It inspired Kaitlin to found Kids on a Mission, a kid-powered nonprofit organization that has helped hundreds of people living in poverty in the US and abroad.
The work overseas started when Kaitlin, then 13, visited El Salvador in Central America. There, she saw people starving and families living in shelters made of cardboard. "The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one," Kaitlin recalled. "We also got to see the rivers that these people were drinking out of, and the water was dirty."
Providing clean drinking water for people living in poverty is now a focus for Kids on a Mission. Children and adult volunteers dig wells and also help orphans（孤儿）by providing food and clothes.
Kids on a Mission is giving children larger leadership roles within the organization. Now that Kaitlin is a junior in high school, she may not play as big of a role in the organization if she moves away for college.
"This young lady just understands that by giving and having a huge heart, she's not only changing the hearts of people in this community, but she's changing the world," said Jim Yovino, Fresno County Superintendent of Schools.
12. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Kaitlin was inspired to help the poor when she worked at her father's organization.
B. Kaitlin succeeded in raising enough money for a playground with other people's help.
C. It took Kaitlin and her sister two years to raise $80,000 for Rescue the Children.
D. Kaitlin started volunteering at Rescue the Children when she was 8 years old.
13. What can we learn about Kids on a Mission?
A. It was founded by Kaitlin and her sister in 2013.
B. It is a nonprofit organization aiming to end poverty in the US.
C. Only children from Kaitlin's community can join in it.
D. It is now focusing on providing clean drinking water to the poor.
14. According to the passage, Kaitlin________.
A. will continue to lead Kids on a Mission when in college
B. is now working on improving her leadership skill:
C. has a good effect on people in her community
D. has received much financial support for her work from her family
15. The article is mainly written to________.
A. call on readers to help people in need
B. introduce the work of Kids on a Mission
C. show that everyone can make a difference
D. share Kaitlin's story of helping the poor

英语学科试题
第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：（共15小题，每题2分，满分30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。
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抰 揷aught up to standard Western web design practices. But I don抰 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梖oreigners 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抯 easier to just click the link you want, instead of typing what you抮e 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. Because they are based on the use of the Roman alphabet.
C. To make them easier to use for Chinese speakers.
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
Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to 搇ook at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范围) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
4. The writer thinks that one must ___________.
A. read as many books as he can
B. read books on the subjects that interest him
C. read and absorb a lot
D. try to read books on all the different subjects
5. A cultured man is similar to a camel because __________.
A. neither of them is interested in knowledge
B. both of them have the ability to select
C. neither of them can be considered wise
D. the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
6. The term 搈ental food refers to ____________-.
A. grassland B. subjects
C. books D. brain
7. In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses___________.
A. how to compare furniture with books B. why books must be absorbed
C. how to select reading materials D. why students go to a library

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抯 natural resources manager. He works to protect and improve Arlington抯 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. 揂nd we抳e only begun to understand exactly how those ecosystems contribute to our food system, or human health梐ll 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. 揑f you just open up your eyes to the natural world, you抎 be amazed at what抯 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 directly helps professional scientists to gather data.
C. It gets wildlife information and data from all over the world.
D. It lets professional scientists pay attention to humans behaviors.
11. What can be the best title for the text?

A US girl's dream to end poverty started with a walk down a street in downtown Fresno in California, US. Kaitlin Riffel was visiting her father at work -the Fresno Rescue Mission, a shelter for the homeless and those in need.
"I never realized there were people in the world who didn't have a home or food before," recalled Kaitlin, who is now 16. "I knew there was something I had to do about that." At age 8. she started raising money to build a playground at Rescue the Children, an organization in Fresno for women and children in need. "It took me two years, but my sisters and I raised S365（2,520vuan）," Kaitlin said. 揥e started small. We knew we wanted to do something to make a difference."
The amount jumped to $80,000 the following year after the girls worked with friends, and the playground was built in 2013. It inspired Kaitlin to found Kids on a Mission, a kid-powered nonprofit organization that has helped hundreds of people living in poverty in the US and abroad.
The work overseas started when Kaitlin, then 13, visited El Salvador in Central America. There, she saw people starving and families living in shelters made of cardboard. "The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one," Kaitlin recalled. "We also got to see the rivers that these people were drinking out of, and the water was dirty."
Providing clean drinking water for people living in poverty is now a focus for Kids on a Mission. Children and adult volunteers dig wells and also help orphans（孤儿）by providing food and clothes.
Kids on a Mission is giving children larger leadership roles within the organization. Now that Kaitlin is a junior in high school, she may not play as big of a role in the organization if she moves away for college.
"This young lady just understands that by giving and having a huge heart, she's not only changing the hearts of people in this community, but she's changing the world," said Jim Yovino, Fresno County Superintendent of Schools.
12. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Kaitlin was inspired to help the poor when she worked at her father's organization.
B. Kaitlin succeeded in raising enough money for a playground with other people's help.
C. It took Kaitlin and her sister two years to raise $80,000 for Rescue the Children.
D. Kaitlin started volunteering at Rescue the Children when she was 8 years old.
13. What can we learn about Kids on a Mission?
A. It was founded by Kaitlin and her sister in 2013.
B. It is a nonprofit organization aiming to end poverty in the US.
C. Only children from Kaitlin's community can join in it.
D. It is now focusing on providing clean drinking water to the poor.
14. According to the passage, Kaitlin________.
A. will continue to lead Kids on a Mission when in college
B. is now working on improving her leadership skill:
C. has a good effect on people in her community
D. has received much financial support for her work from her family
15. The article is mainly written to________.
A. call on readers to help people in need
B. introduce the work of Kids on a Mission
C. show that everyone can make a difference
D. share Kaitlin's story of helping the poor
