A. believes both of the stories Bdoesnt believe a word of the stories Cis not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for fun52.According to the passage，President Jackson_. Acouldnt draw up any documents at all B. didnt like to read important papers by himselfCoften had his assistants sign documents for him D .wasnt good at reading，writing or spelling53According to the first story, the term “OK”_. A. was approved of by President Jackson Bwas the title of some Official documents Cwas first used by President Jackson Dwas an old way to spell “all correct”54 .According to the second story，the term “K”_. Awas the short way to say“ld Kinderhook Club” Bmeant the place where President Van Buren was born Cwas the name of Van Burens club Dwas used to call Van Burens supporters in the election55According to the second story, the term “OK” was first used _Aby Van Buren Bin a presidential electionCto organize the Old Kinderhook Club Dby the members of the “ld Kinderhook Club”BRowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year，Rowena will be attending Harvard UniversityBilly，her younger brother，hopes to go to CornellWhat makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they dont go to schoolIn fact，theyve never been to schoolSince kindergarten，theyve studied at homeLike many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if theyve gotten a good educationThe home-schooling trend began in the U.Sin the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today，as the home-schooling trend continues to grow，parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools dont do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous placesBut can parents really do a better job?The answer in many cases is yesIn many studies，students taught at home ranked average or above average when pared to students who went to public schoolsMore importantly，these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledgeThey were well prepared for academic challengesOne such student，Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schoolingStill, not every student is as successful as Robert“For every home-schooling success story，there are an equal number of failures”states Henry Lipsb，an educational researcher“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overe”For example，they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own ageConsequently，they sometimes lack the usual social skills“No matter what，though，”states Lipsb，“home-schooling is a growing trendI think well be seeing more and more of this”61pared with other students, Rowena and Billy are most different in the fact that .Athey preferred to teach themselvesBthey do extremely well on achievement testsCthey dont go to school as other teenagersDthey feel they have gotten a good education62At first in the 1980s parents gave home-schooling to children for .Abetter education Breligious education Csafety D. good behavior63According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?AHome is a safer place for childrenBStudents taught at home are more self-directedCStudents taught at home have a greater depth of knowledgeDStudents taught at home can go to good universities64The writer thinks .Aparents can do a better job than schoolsBhome-schooling will be more and more usefulChome-schooling is good in some aspectsDstudents taught at home make greater achievements65The best title of this text might be .AHome-schooling：A Growing TrendBHome-schooling：A Better ChoiceCHome-schooling：A Way to SuccessDHome-schooling：A New Method of Education C It is a matter of mon observation that although money ine keeps going up over the years, we never seem to bee richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is being inflated so that each unit of it bees less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money ines go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesnt matter. But it does -.When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good moneystability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it bees an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply stimulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.66From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which_.A. everyones ines rise B. money will hold its valueC. we can watch our money grow D. money constantly loses its value67In the writers view, if ines and prices rise at the same rate, _.A. inflation maybe still be a problem B. we have nothing to worry aboutC. inflation is no longer a problem D. we will bee richer and richer68Under inflation people are likely to _.A. go to the bank more often than usual B. save more money since their ines riseC. spend money quickly rather than to save it D. keep money at home instead of going to banks69We can conclude according to the passage that _.A. the writer is a government official B. the writer is worried about inflationC. the writer encourages people to spend money D. the writer has bee richer because of inflation70. Which of the following words is omitted at the end of the underlined sentence “But it does”?A. matter,B. goes. C.rises D.fall DThis morning, a Virgin Atantin 747 Jumbo Jet became the first mercial airplane to fly on biofuel. The short flight from London to Amsterdam used a blend of 20% babassu(棕榈) oil mixed with 80% conventional jet fuel.What was really exciting about the flight was the fact that the engine did not have to be altered in any way for the biofuel to work While this is a great initial step in trying to reduce CO2(carbon-dioxide)emissions(排放)from airplanes. there are a lot of hurdles (障碍)that still need to be overe.First and foremost, unlike the normal fuel used to run airplanes (known as Jet A),biofuel freezes at high altitudes. Also, JetAfuel burns consistently (at the same pace),which means it provides a safe and reliable fuel for long flights-engineers are not sure if biofuel will be able to do the same.The biggest hurdle to a full biofuel switch is our ability to be able to grow enough crops that can be converted to biofuel. There are two concerns that scientists have in this matter the first is thatthe land to grow the extra crops will e from clearing more of our forests and the second is that since it petes with what we eat, the price of food will go up.However, Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines, envisions that if biofuel starts to replace oil on a greater basis, it will be manufactured from algae（藻类）produced in sewage treatment plants, not from food sources.Birgin Airlines is not the only one trying to look for alternative fuel sources. Earlier this year, an Airbus A380 used another alternative fuela man-made mix of gas-to-liquid, in one of its four engines. The flight was tested by Rolls Royce (manufacturer of jet engines), in partnership with Shell (an oil pany). Rolls Royce is also working with Air New Zealand on a similar project.While a plete switch to alternative fuel may take years, it is very encouraging to see airlines, oil panies and airplane manufacturers all ing together to try to make it happen!71Why does Virgin Airlines try to replace normal fuel with biofuel?ATo cut down the flight cost of the pany.BTo remove some hurdles for the biofuel to work.CTo reduce CO2 emissions from airplanes. DTo test plane engines on biofuel.72Which is NOT true for a full biofuel switch of airplanes?A Biofuel cannot run for long flights. BBiofuel cannot work at high altitudes.CMan has not enough land to grow extra crops for biofuel. DIts not easy for sewage treatment plants to manufacture biofuel.73One of the hurdles to be overe for a full biofuel switch is to .Aalter the engine for airplanes Bmake biofuel burn consistentlyCopen more land to grow more crops Ddevelop sewage treatment plants74We can infer from the last paragraph that .Athere is a long way to go for a plete switch to alternative fuel Bit wont be long before alternative fuel es into useCairlines, oil panies and airplane manufacturers are reliable Dalternative fuel has a bright future75Which of the following can best serves as the title of this passage?ABiofuel-Alternative Fuel Sources. BThe First mercial Flight Powered by Biofuel.CHow to Reduce CO2 Emissions from Airplanes. DVigin Airlines Trying to Alter Fuel Sources.2019-2020年高三第一次阶段测试（10月月考）英语试题第四部分 书面表达(共两节，满分45分)第一节 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。Modern inventions have speeded up peoples lives amazinglyMotor cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour，aircraft cross the world inside a day，while puters operate at lightning speedIndeed，this love of speed seems never endingEvery year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new puter boasts(吹嘘)of saving precious seconds in handling tasksAll this saves time，but at a priceWhen we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane，our bodies tell us soWe get the unfortable feeling known as jet lag； our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zoneAgain，spending too long at puters results in painful wrists and fingersMobile phones also ，according to some scientists；too much use may put harmful radiation into our brains，a consequence we do not like to think aboutHowever，what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax，or so it seemsWe are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a timePerhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio，letting imagination take us into another worldThere was a time
