A study found a(an) 36 result in young children: the more stories read to them, the 37 their “theory of mind,” or mental model of other peoples intentions.“Deep reading” as 38 to the superficial reading we do on the Web is an 39 practice, one we should take steps to 40 as we would a historic building or a significant work of art. Its 41 would put in danger the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online, as well as literature that can be 42 _42_ only by readers whose brains, quite 43 , have been trained to understand them.Recent research has demonstrated that deep reading is a 44 experience, different from the mere decoding of words. 45 deep reading does not, strictly speaking, require a _46_ book, the built-in limits of the printed page are uniquely conducive(有助于) to the deep reading experience. A books lack of hyperlinks, for example, 47 the reader from making decisions Should I click on this link or not 48 her to remain fully immersed in the narrative.The deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are different, both 49 the experience they produce and the 50 they develop. A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less 51 and less satisfying, even for the “digital natives” for whom it is so familiar. When readers are enjoying the experience the most, the 52 of their reading actually slows. The 53 of fast, fluent decoding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with 54 , analysis, and opinions. It gives them time to establish an close relationship with the author, the two of them engaged in an extended 55 like people falling in love. 36. A. different B. unbelievable C. efficient D. similar 37. A. quicker B. stronger C. keener D. higher38. A. contradicted B. equal C. opposed D. relevant39. A. interesting B. endangered C. authentic D. unconscious40. A. preserve B. prevent C. reserve D. promote41. A. practice B. disappearance C. appearance D. existence42.

Conversation第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题, 每小题2分, 满分30分）阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 AFrom the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now Im going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enough for me. Also Im not going to ask you what words mean. “The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just e to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It cant be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, “Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. “This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is, an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.56. According to the passage, childrens fear and dislike of books may result from_.A. reading little and thinking little B. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too much D. being made to read aloud before others57. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D. She turned out to be a top student after ing to this school.58. From the teachers point of view,_ _ .A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB. children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolD. reading involves understanding every little piece of information B As Internet users bee more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your puter will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a puter. The first group of people understood that the puter would save the information. The second group understood that the puter would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific puter folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory (交互记忆). According to Sparrow, we are not being people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, puter users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are being either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.59. The passage begins with two questions to _. A. introduce the main topic B. show the authors altitudeC. describe how to use the Internet. D. explain how to store information60. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrows team typed the information into a puter. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. D. The second group did not understand the information.61. In transactive memory, people _.A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a puter D. remember how to find the information62. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? A. We are using memory differently.B. We are being more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.2019-2020年高三上学期第一次学情检测（期中）英语试题含答案 Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feetas far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.” And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal bee see-through? Its trickier than you might think. The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily. But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water. You dont see it -you see the things behind it. To bee transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering. Animals are built of many different materials-skin, fat, and more-and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seethrough. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it . Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how theyre doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.63. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means_. A. silently B. gradually C. regularly D. pletely64. One way for an animal to bee transparent is to _. A. change the direction of light travel B. gather materials to scatter light. C. avoid the absorption of light D. grow bigger to stop light.65. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals_. A. move more slowly in deep water B. stay see-through even after death C. produce more tissues for their survival D. take effective action to reduce light spreading DNo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rocknroll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled then across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what theyre proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And theres no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way , who led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , Why dont they just try rolling the things? “A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized . That , he notes , should make a block of stone” a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.66.Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by _.A. rolling them on roads B. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth paths D. dragging them on some poles67.The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means_.A. made the path wet B. made the path hardC. made the path wide D. made the path slippery68.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached. B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C. Rolling poles to move the blocks. D. Rolling the blocks with fat.69.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ? A. Because more force is needed for sliding. B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle. C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous. D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.70.What is the text mainly about ? A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site. B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site. C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site. D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。 The Internet has bee a way of life for many people around the world.
