PROBLEMS
Alice: Yesterday, at the beginning of the chemistry exam, I spent more time on a
difficult question than I intended. When I saw the others turning to the next page, I
became so nervous that I couldn’t even work out simple questions. I really want to
know how to control myself in exams. Could you give me some advice?
Rob: I’m trying to review for my exams, but it’s hard to concentrate for long. I sit on
the bed with my books, but then I lie down and fall asleep. And my parents ask me to
do things or my friends call, so I give up studying. I’m starting to panic. What should
I do?
Lara: I get good marks at school, so my friends all want to copy my homework. But I
spend a lot of time working while they’re having fun. It’s not fair, and I’m getting fed
up with this situation. But how do I tell them they can’t copy my work—I don’t want
to lose my friends. Help!

（莆田第七中学2019-2020上学期高一年级期末考试）
A very dangerous situation happened in California last week. More than 12
wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in Northern
California. They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles
per hour and dry air in the area.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have
been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50,000
people have been required to escape. Many left in a hurry, without time to take their
personal things. “All the good stuff(东西)—I’m never going to see it again,” Jeff
Okrepkie said. He escaped from his Santa Rosa home. It was destroyed soon after he
left.
The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡，县). These include Sonoma
and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to
many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园) and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016, California’s
wineries made more than $57 billion.
October is when wildfires usually produce the most ruins in California. But it is
unusual for so many fires to start at once. Up to now, the government has not given a
cause for any of the fires, many of which were still burning.
4. Why did the fires grow quickly?
A. Most of the fires began in October. B. 12 fires happened at the same time.
C. The state government didn’t do anything. D. High-speed wind and dry air.

C
Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, it also increases
pollution and wastes energy and water. Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in
a recycling bin, meaning over $ 1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year.
Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.
It is a convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunken or eaten. To drink it,
you can either peel off the membrane(薄膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your
teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in
your mouth. One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship large amounts of
Ooho bubbles(水泡) without arriving with a very wet truck. However, they have
attempted to package units of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker
membrane. It is targeting large outdoor events, such as marathons, music festivals,
and sporting events, where tons of plastic bottles are used, and frequently left behind
as litter. And too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could
account for their purpose of such a new invention.
The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and
materials needed to produce Ooho; they have recently applied a patent for their new
advancements. The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set
yet, but they cost about two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic
bottles. It has appeared at events in London, San Francisco, Boston, at conferences,
festivals, and so on.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $ 1 million and gained
1,000 investors in only three days. It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to
keep the consumer’s interest while the production machine is getting up and running.
It is quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out this year for these bottles of the future.
8.How is most plastic dealt with in America?
A. It’s sold. B. It’s recycled.
C. It’s buried. D. It’s wasted.
【答案】D
【解析】细节查找题．根据第一段中信息“Only 23% of all plastic in America ends
up in a recycling bin, meaning over $ 1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a
year.”可知和只有23%的塑料杯回收，价值$ 1 billion的塑料都被当做垃圾处理
掉了．故选D．
9.Why did the team invent Ooho?
A. To make a profit for a company. B. To protect the environtnent.
C. To make people eat as they drink. D. To reduce the cost of plastic bottle.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题．第一段先介绍在美国塑料的回收利用并不理想，故有人
研制出环保的材料，B选项和环保有关， 故为正确答案。
10.What can we infer about Ooho from the text?
A. It is easy and safe to ship it in large amounts.
B. It has become popular since it began to be sold.
C. It might be sold at a lower price than plastic bottles.
D. It cost the team a lot of money to develop the technology.
【答案】C
【解析】细节查找题．根据文中信息“…but they cost about two cents to create a
unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles.”可知和新材料 Ooho 并不昂贵．故选
C。
11.What does the author really want to say in the last paragraph?
A. Ooho is to be a success in the future.
B. Ooho is being supported by smart people.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C. Ooho is taking the place of plastic bottles now.
D. Ooho is being produced to attract more investors.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题．根据全文最后一段信息“It is quickly making a rise, so keep
an eye out this year for these bottles of the future.”可知作者很看好这种新材料。故
选A．
D
With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to
clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种). That’s a move similar
to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five
years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of
endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should
become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of
Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to
reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will
become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of
becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells
from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now
trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the
lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,”
Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result
in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could
be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas
at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the
Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar
to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I
certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are
attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
12. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。从第 2段内容可知，“诺亚方舟”工程的目标是把濒临灭
绝的动物的蛋(卵)、胚胎、精液和DNA储存在液体氮中，如果某一种动物濒临
灭绝时，将来可以重现这一动物。
13. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be
the lack of _______.
A. available panda eggs B. host animals
C. qualified researchers D. enough money
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。从第 6段第1句话 The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one
species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used ) panda
eggs could be a major problem 可以做出正确判断。
14. The best title for the passage may be _______.
A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning
B. The First Cloned Panda in the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever
【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。从文章内容来看，无论是中国还是世界克隆熊猫还没有
成功，所以排除A、B项;D项内容明显与文章内容不符，故排除。所以“探索克
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂隆熊猫的可能性”应该是这篇文章的标题。
15. From the passage we know that _______.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。此题B项的干扰性较强，但由于它没有说明是Chinese
scientists，所以应排除。A、C项明显与原文不符。根据文章第3段第1句可知
答案为D
第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sleep advice for kids of all ages
It is important for each child to get enough sleep every day. Here we will learn
more about that.
How much sleep does a child need?
16 Newborns 0 to 3 months should sleep 10 to 18 hours a day. Babies 4 to 11
months should start to sleep through the night, for 9 to 12 hours at a time. Toddlers(初
学走路的孩子) 1 to 2 years need about 11 to 14 hours a day. Children 3 to 5 should
get 11 to 13 hours a night. 17 Teenagers 14 and up need 8 to 10 hours of sleep.
What can parents do?
Set a strict nap(小睡) timetable. 18 Even older children can benefit from late-
afternoon naps if they are not getting enough sleep at night. But keep them short--- 30
minutes at most.
19 Remember to ask your children to turn off the television and the computer
an hour before bed. If possible, get them out of your child’s bedroom since the light
from electronic screens can make sleep a difficult job.
Get them moving. 20 Running around and playing sports is great, but kids can
be active in other ways, too. Take the dog for a walk, or go to the park --- just get
them out of the house and get them moving.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. Pay attention to screen time.
B. It usually depends on their age.
C. It’s OK to go to bed 30 minutes later.
D. Kids 6 to 13 need 9 to 11 hours of sleep.
E. Younger children should take a short sleep during the day.
F. Energy drinks can keep kids from falling or staying asleep.
G. Exercise during the day helps children sleep better at night.

(2017年6月浙江卷)On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary
school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends . One of
his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac
to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled (骑行)
along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters athome . He
hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man, that’s a big dog!” he
thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all,
but a wolf, quickly catching up with him.
Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of hear spray. With one hand on the
bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to
Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again.
Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf
a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase (追赶).
Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful
not to show down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit
the hill, he’d be easy caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh.
At this moment, Paul and Beeky were driving their car on their way to Alaska.
They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the
side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running
alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf.
Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was
catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.

Paragraph 1:
The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Paul and Becky got out of
the carimmediately to give help. But with the bare hands, they didn’t dare to fight
with the wolf. However, they still approached to the wolf bravely. At the same time,
the wolf also noticed them and turned its head back, shouting loudly at Paul and
Becky. Mac then jumped off the bicycle and was ready to fight against the wolf. That
reached deadlock.
Paragraph 2:
A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. They found the dangerous
situation, where three men circled the wolf. Mac’s friends also jumped off their
bicycles and joined the fight with the wolf. More and more cars stopped. Some drivers
took out the sticks from the cars, and some took out the knives, even the guns towards
the wolf. Just at that time, the wolf might feel the threats from the people, starting to
withdraw. Soon, it ran away off the road and disappeared in the distance.
