It includes small businesses, old homes on tree-lined streets, and new townhouses along the highway. It is about an hour's drive away from Washington, D．C.. But on the way to the capital, the highway passes the remains of closed businesses. The shops failed largely because of competition from shopping centers in larger cities.Mr. Paulin says when some people drive into Indian Head and see the empty buildings, they just turn around and leave. He hopes to return the town to a friendly, successful place with natural beauty where people want to live and visit. “Many years ago, Indian Head was a booming(繁荣的) town, and that's what I want to get back，” he said.Right now, the people who own the old, empty buildings are permitted to use their properties to reduce their taxes. Mr. Paulin wants to change the situation. He plans to charge owners a fee for empty buildings, and to increase the cost every year.The owner of a local health food store where Mr. Paulin buys fruit drinks is also happy about the young mayor. Kelly Murphy says, “His age doesn't bother me. I know he's excited, and I feel when we get around him, we will feel excited too. We've lost that for many years in this town.”Mr. Paulin began taking part in city politics at the age of 10. At that time, he urged town officials to put in signs urging drivers to be aware of pedestrians (行人). Mr. Paulin succeeded. Since then, he has been involved in the town government.As a mayor, Mr. Paulin earns only $6,000 a year. Mr. Paulin lives at home and takes college classes online. His mother, Wendy Paulin, says her son accepts challenges and works on problems until he has a solution.1．We can learn from the passage that Brandon Paulin's goal is to ________.A. rescue the remains of closed businessesB. develop Indian Head into a shopping townC. bring Indian Head back to a booming townD. become an extraordinary leader in America2．The business in Indian Head has failed mainly because ________.A. many shop owners moved to Washington, D．C.B. many customers preferred to buy things in large citiesC. fewer visitors chose to go there because of the highwayD. many shop owners became unfriendly to their customers3．How does Brandon Paulin encourage the recovery of Indian Head?A. By helping the owners to decorate their empty buildings.B. By charging those who don't use their empty buildings.C. By reducing taxes the owners should pay every year.D. By setting a good example of buying fruit drinks.4.What attitude does Kelly Murphy hold towards Brandon Paulin?A. Supportive.B. Critical.C. Tolerant.D. Worried.5．We can conclude from the passage that Brandon Paulin ________.A. takes his income as a mayor seriouslyB. cares for the local's food safety very muchC. always has a solution to the town's problemsD. became active in politics as a boy本文是一篇记叙文。

According to statistics,you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term,about78years for men in Australia,you'll die on average five years before a woman.There're many reasons for this—typically,men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly,men don't go to the doctor.“Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr.Gullotta.“This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike.According to a recent survey,95%of women aged between15and early40s see a doctor once a year, compared to70%of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they're unbeatable,” Gullotta says.“They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think,‘Geez,if it could happen to him...’”Then there's the ostrich(鸵鸟)approach.“Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr.Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says.He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.“Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases.Besides,the final cost is far greater,it's called premature death.”1.Why does the author congratulate male readers at the beginning of the passage?A.They can live longer than they expected.B.They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.C.They have lived long enough to read this article.D.They are more likely to survive serious diseases now.2.Which of the author's statements is the most important reason that men die five years earlier on average than women according to the passage?A.Men drink and smoke much more than women.B.Men don't seek medical care as often as women.C.Men are more likely to suffer from deadly diseases.D.Men aren't as cautious as women in the face of danger.3.Which of the following best completes the underlined sentence“Geez,if it could happen to him...” in Paragraph4?A.it could happen to me,too.B.it would be a big misfortune.C.I should avoid playing golf.D.I should consider myself lucky.4.What does Dr.Ross Cartmill mean by“the ostrich approach” in Paragraph5?A.A casual attitude towards one's health conditions.B.A new treatment for certain psychological problems.C.Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.D.Unwillingness to find out about one's disease because of fear.Ⅱ.完形填空(2020湖北宜昌一中、荆州中学高二联考)It was4o'clock in the morning when I received the phone call.“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just1in with serious burns on his face,neck and arms.” The doctor described the2,which caused the burns.At6a.m.,our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment.Unfortunately,the charcoal(木炭)burst into flames because they had sprayed too much petrol.The flames3my son's shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.Fortunately,one of the boys was quick-minded,grasped my son,and4him on the grass.While it saved his life,there was not enough5to save him from fearful burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).After he recovered from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整形手术)for6months6it took that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So he had to return to college with typical scars of burns.When I was a child,my mother told my sister who had a very710-inch scar on her arm,“Nancy,if you ignore the scar,other people will ignore it.It does not mean they will not8it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn't matter to you.”I9this wisdom on to my son.He took my advice to10and returned to school with his head held high—glad he was alive.By the end of the six-month waiting period,he decided that the scars did not11,so he made the12to give up any plastic surgery.We all have“scars” that we believe will13people to keep away from us.

Life may well have been troubled by these killer species since its very beginning, over 3.4 billion years ago, and they have been described as death and destruction. When people imagine paradise （天堂），it normally doesn^t have any predators in it.But this understanding misses something important: yes they destroy things, but at the same time they may have helped build today's world. Predators may have played a big role in the history of life, forcing human beings to become wiser.These ideas are not easy to prove. But whenever biologists try to explain big progress forward in evolution^ predators appear as a possible reason. It may be that: What doeskill you makes you stronger 一and wiserThe beginning of life on Earth remains a mystery. The life story might have begun at the bottom of the ocean, or in hot, dry valleys on the earliest continents, or even from Mars. What we do know is that, by 3.43 billion years ago, biological cells （细胞）had appeared.All living things are made of cells, so the appearance of cells was one of the most important events in the history of life. And that event might have been started by the threat of predators.Before cells, life probably consisted of single molecules （分子）floating around in water. But these molecules were not in peace. Some of them behaved like predators. They attacked and broke down 一“killed" — other molecules. The best way to keep them safe was to get together as bigger and powerful groups, which gradually grew into the first cells.46.According to the first paragraph, what do people think of predators?A.They not only fear but also love predators.B.They have been troubled by predators for 3.4 billion years.C.They describe predators as death and destruction.D.They can be friends with predators only in the paradise.47.The author thinks that people do not realize that _______ ・A.predators kill and destroy thingsB.predators develop faster than other animalsC.predators are part of the world we are living inD.predators help human beings become better48.The underlined word "evolution^ probably means ______ .A.the development of life B・ the beginning of lifeC. the appearance of predatorsD. the important role of predators49.Biological cells appeared probably because _______ .A.life began at the bottom of the oceanB. life began in hot, dry valleysC. life came from MarsD. life was threatened by "predators^50.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Predators are a big threat to life on the earth.B.Predators play an important role in the history of life.C.The beginning of life on earth remains a mystery.D.Life started from single molecules to cells.DA well-known scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth goes around the sun and how the sun, in turn, goes around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy （星系）.At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said, "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a huge tortoise?9 The scientist gave a broad smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?'，"Youle very clever, young man, very clever/9said the old lady. “But there9re tortoises all the way down!"Most people would find the picture of our universe as a tower of tortoises rather ridiculous （可笑的），but why do we think we know better? What do we know about the universe, and how do we know it? Where did the universe come from, and where is it going? Did the universe have a beginning, and if so, what happened before then? What is the nature of time? Will it ever come to an end? Can we go back in time? Recent breakthroughs （突破）in physics, made possible in part by new technologies, suggestanswers to some of these long-standing questions. Someday these answers may seem as obvious to us as the earth going around the sun - or perhaps as ridiculous as a tower of tortoises.

It comes from a country called Chad，which is north of the Central African Republic. The basenji was well－known as the “silent dog” because for centuries no basen jis had ever been known to bark. Then at a dog show in London in 1953, a basenji actually barked.As well as being clever, basenjis are known for their natural courage and are still popular hunting dogs in Africa. But in America people keep them mainly because they are gentle and full of fun. The basenji has an unusual habit: it washes itself all over like a cat. It is a middle－sized dog，16 or 17 inches high from the shoulder. It weighs about 20 pounds. A basenji's coat is short and silky. It may be brown, white, or gold, or a mixture of these three colours.1．Basenjis were first found________．A．in Africa, Europe and AmericaB．in both Africa and AmericaC．in central AfricaD．in North Africa2．What made Basenjis so special?A．They were born quiet dogs.B．They were a true friend of man.C．One of them barked at a dog show in London.D．They were funny enough to make people laugh.3．In what way are basenjis like cats?A．They make gentle sounds instead of barking.B．They are fond of people and look like cats.C．They clean themselves all over.D．They have short，silky fur.4．Basenjis are good hunters because they are ________．A．strong B．fearlessC．the right color D．the right weightBWhether it's a carol (圣诞颂歌)service or an evening of karaoke in the pub，many people will enjoy a good old sing－song this Christmas .Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits—it's good for your physical health as well. Filling the lungs with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.For the past few years Heart Research UK has been running a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring. The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy. “Singing is linked to long l ife, stress reduction, and general health protection. It also brings a great amount of happiness. It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch(音高)．”Professor Graham Welch，who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing. He says that singing is a form of exercise. It means we're also having a strong aerobic activity (有氧运动) when we're singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.“And communal singing—like in a singing group，a church service or even a sing－song in the pub—helps improve our sense of self－respect. It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sen se of feeling included.”Helen Astrid，a singing teacher，also sees the great effects that singing brings. “It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self－respect ，and it's great for all ages from small kids to grannies—you can have a good sing and let_your_hair_down.”But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.5．Heart Research UK holds a campaign to________．A．encourage people to sing for God at ChristmasB．study the effects of singing on peopleC．get people to sing and improve their healthD．bring happiness to people during holidays6．The underlined part “let your hair down” probably means________．A．feel at ease B．protect yourselfC. dress casuallyD. cover your nervousness7．What can we infer from the passage?A．Singing at Christmas is good for health.B．One in a low mood is not able to sing well.C. Experts have disagreement on singing.D. Singing is the same as other aerobic activities.8．Which is the best title of the passage?A．Karaoke—Best Place for Singing!B．Christmas—Best Time for Singing!C．Singing—Healthy but Difficult!D．For Health—Let's Sing!_______参考答案一、1.A in addition另外；in general总的说来，大体上；in return作为回报；in brief简言之。
