This warming will likely benefit some sea species at the expense of others. A study in the May 20 issue of the journal Nature confirmed that there has been a warming trend in the worlds oceans since 1993, as the waters have absorbed much of the extra energy in the planets atmosphere. The warming that has already occurred, and is expected to continue in the ing decades, will likely spell bad news for many ocean species, such as corals and species that live in the cold waters of the planets poles. But some creatures beneath the ocean surface might actually have an advantage in the newly wanned waters. A 2008 study, for example, said that a warming of just a few degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctic waters could make them suitable to sharks,which havent lived in the area for about 40 million years. Its easier for sharks to keep their high metabolism in warmer waters. If sharks do move into the area,they could cause damage to the existing ecosystems of the oceans around Antarctica. A study of starfish found these typical ocean creatures grew faster in water at warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels ( another result of all the extra greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) than at normal conditionswhich is bad news for the shellfishes they live on. Work by Jeremy Jackson, a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego, suggests that ocean warmingalong with other threats such as overfishing and habitat destructioncould change once plex ocean ecosystems into ones that favor simpler species, such as microbes, toxic algal blooms and jellyfishes.1.How is Paragraph 3 developed?A.By giving examples.B.By analyzing causes.C.By making parisons.D.By making classifications.2.What can we know about sharks from the fourth paragraph?A.They are native to Antarctic waters.B.They do harm to the whole ecosystem.C.Theyre adaptable to warmer water conditions.D.They threaten simpler species in Antarctic waters.3.What will ocean warming likely bring about?A.Promoting the growth of starfish.B.An ecosystem of smaller creatures.C.Different food sources for sea creatures.D.Damaging living places of deep-sea species.4.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To explain why ocean warming benefit some species.B.To introduce how creatures survive in warmer oceans.C.To clarify some misunderstandings about ocean warming.D.To show which creatures will benefit from warmer oceans.7、 The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them being more isolated(隔绝) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life. These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.” But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to. Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems. For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that. We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”1.What is the purpose of the Drive LAB?A.To explore new means of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older drivers problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.2.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologles.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.D.Organize regular physical checkups.4.What is the best title for the text?A.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC.Driving Services for EldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road8、 When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. Shed watch me ing down her street, and by the time Id biked up to her doorstep, thered be a cold drink waiting. Id sit and drink while she talked.

At the heart of the shops popularity is its 1 staff: Almost everyone who works there has an intellectual or developmental disability, ranging from Down syndrome(唐氏综合征) to autism(自闭症). For many 2 ,its their first job, and their3 fills the air. Its the vision(远见) of Amy Wright,4 by two of her four children, Beau and Bitty, who have Down syndrome. When Wright and her husband5 that nearly 70% of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities do not have 6 , they decided to do something about it. “It 7 me like a lightning bolt(闪电): a coffee shop!” Wright said.“I realized it would be the perfect environment for bringing people8 . In this place, taking9 and serving coffee, theyd realize how 10 they are.” The shop opened in January 2016 and immediately had 11 outside the door. National press attention 12 , and six months later, it had to move to a 13 space. Today, the Wilmington store employs 40 people with 14 , as well as two managers who have degrees in special education. The team works like a 15 machine. “Well, our 16 time is no longer than any of our petitors,” Wright said. “Theyve all gotten really good at their jobs and step up 17 somebody else needs help.” All the money made from the coffee shop goes to Wrights nonprofit, Able to Work USA. But shes most proud of the 18 its built in the munity. “Creating this has given people a way to municate with people with disabilities,” she said. “This is a place where people can realize how much more 19 we are than different. And thats20 its all about.”1.A.warm-heartedB.uniqueC.hard-workingD.innovative2.A.employeesB.managersC.crewD.assistants3.A.petitivenessB.coldnessC.joyD.loneliness4.A.taughtB.touchedC.inspiredD.invited5.A.discoveredB.assumedC.concludedD.pretended6.A.interestsB.talentsC.desiresD.jobs7.A.slidB.hitC.beatD.crossed8.A.roundB.upC.outD.together9.A.picturesB.billsC.ordersD.tips10.A.patientB.usefulC.gratefulD.friendly11.A.linesB.branchesC.bargainsD.cries12.A.returnedB.dividedC.advertisedD.followed13.A.largerB.quieterC.remoterD.safer14.A.experiencesB.disabilitiesC.degreesD.brains15.A.newly-designedB.time-consumingC.cost-savingD.well-oiled16.A.waitB.freeC.spareD.plan17.A.soB.sinceC.whenD.unless18.A.shopsB.bridgesC.modelsD.houses19.A.awakeB.aliveC.alikeD.alone20.A.becauseB.whyC.howD.what短文改错10、假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(),并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改:在错的词下画一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2. 只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。 In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructors orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank. I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road. 答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：D 2答案及解析：答案：A 3答案及解析：答案：A 4答案及解析：答案：A 5答案及解析：答案：C 6答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.C; 3.A; 4.D解析：1.推理判断题。根据第三段的内容,尤其是“But”的转折可知, 本段主要是通过对比海洋变暖对哪些生物有利,对哪些生物有害来行文的。故选C。2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的make them suitable to sharks以及 Its easier for sharks to keep their high metabolism in warmer waters可知,鲨鱼能够适应温度更高的环境中的生活.故选C.3.细节理解题. 根据第五段可知,海星在水温比较高的水域会生长得更快,即海洋变暖会促进海星的生长,故选A. 误解分析:不能误选B项。根据最后一段可知,诸多因素会将复杂的生态系统变为适应简单生物的一些生态系统。这些因素中不只是气候变暖.4.写作意图题. 纵观全文可知,作者写作本文主要是为了告诉我们哪些生物能在海洋变暖中继续发展,即从中获益。故选D。 7答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.B; 4.D解析：1.细节理解题。由第一段中的in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers 和第六段中的 is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are for older drivers 可知,研究人员研究的目的是了解老年司机面临的挑战和发现关键的问题在哪里。答案选C。2.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句中的preserving their independence可以得知开车对于保持老年人的独立性是非常重要的,这也给了老年人不依赖于别人而出行的自由,因此A项正确。3.推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句的use technology to address these problems. ” 和文章最后一句可知,研究人员这样做是为了发明帮助老年人驾驶的技术,因此B项正确。文章不是说老年人的驾驶技术不好,而是说老年人因为年龄问题在开车时会遇到一些困难,因此A项错误。4.主旨大意题。综合全文可知,文章讲述的是研究人员正在研究如何保证老年人开车安全的问题,因此D项是最佳答案。全文翻译 纽卡斯尔大学的智能交通团队已经将一辆电动汽车变成了一个名为“ DriveLAB”的移动实验室,以了解老龄司机所面临的挑战,并发现关键的压力点。 研究表明放弃驾驶导致他们变得更加孤立、不活跃,是老年人健康和福祉下降的关键原因之一。 在菲尔布莱斯教授的带领下,纽卡斯尔团队正在为老龄司机开发车载式汽车技术,他们希望这些技术能帮助老年人一直到晚年也能继续开车。 这些技术包括定制的导航工具、夜视系统和智能速度适应。菲尔布莱斯解释说:“对于许多老年人, 尤其是那些独自生活或在乡村生活的老年人来说,开车对保持他们的独立性以及不必依赖他人而出行的自由都很重要。” “但我们都必须承认,随着年龄的增长,我们的反应会慢下来,这往往会导致人们回避任何具有潜在挑战性的驾驶状况,并对驾驶技能失去信心。结果是,人们在真正需要之前就停止开车了。” 老年驾驶研究的首席研究员艾米郭博士解释说:“DriveLAB正帮助我们了解老年驾驶者的主要压力和困难,以及我们如何利用技术来解决这些问题。” “例如,我们大多数人都认为老龄司机开车总是比其他人慢,但令人惊讶的是,我们发现,在时速30英里的区域,他们很难保持恒定的速度,因此更有可能打破限速,并有面临被罚款的风险。我们关注的是控制其速度的系统的好处,以防止这种情况的出现。” “我们希望我们的工作将帮助找到技术解决方案,确保老龄司机行车更安全。” 8答案及解析：答案：1.B; 2.B; 3.A; 4.D解析：1.推理判断题.根据第二段Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband. Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” shed say.可推测,作者第一次听到Mrs. Stanley说这些话时是极为震惊的。 故选B。2.推理判断题:根据第三段Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile 可知,作者倾听Mrs. Stanley 说话是为了帮助她。故选B.3.词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地)可知,Mrs. Stanley看来已从失去丈夫的悲痛中走了出来,说明画线部分的意思“从悲伤中恢复过来”。故选A。4.推理判断题。根据最后一段You find it whenever people ask how youre doing because they care,and not because theyre getting paid to do so,以及本文所讲的故事作者以前关心Mrs. Stanley,后来又被自家的送报员所关心,由此可推断作者想要表明的观点:社区邻里间应该相互关心。故选D。 误解分析:不能误选A项。open up to others意为 “对别人敞开心扉”。心扉指的是心的门扇,比喻人的内心。敞开心扉是指在一个人面前把自己的心毫无隐瞒地表现出来,也指分享自己的心情,是一种乐观开朗的表现。而文中作者通过自身的经历告诉我们要相互关心。全文翻译 四年级的时候,我兼职做报童。斯坦利太太是我的顾客之一。她会看着我走到她所居住的大街,走到她家门前时,会给我准备一杯冷饮。她讲话时我总会坐着喝冷饮。 斯坦利太太讲述的内容多是关于她死去的丈夫。 “今天早上斯坦利先生和我去购物了。”她说道。她第一次这样说时,我大为吃惊。我告诉父亲,斯坦利太太说话的样子似乎斯坦利先生还活着。爸爸说她可能很孤独,我应该坐着听, 还得不时地点头微笑,这样也许她会从失去丈夫的悲痛中恢复过来。于是我那样做了,结果证明爸爸是对的。不久后,斯坦利太太似乎把丈夫遗忘在了墓地。 我终于不再送报纸了,几年来也没见过斯坦利太太。然后在一个教堂募捐活动的现场,斯坦利太太和我不期而遇。她正在舀土豆泥,看起来很高兴。四年前,为了与人交谈,她还不得已为报童提供一杯饮料。 现在,她有朋友了。她的丈夫去世了,但生活还得继续。 现在,我住在城里,我的报童是一个叫埃德娜的女士,她有三个孩子。她问我近况怎样。当我没有说 “好”的时候,她就会坚持倾听我的问题。她一生大部分时间都住在城市,但她了解社区。与其说社区是一个地方,倒不如说它是一种心境。每当有人因为关心而问你日子过得怎么样而不是因为要得到报酬而做这些时,你会感到这一点。有时只是笑一笑,点点头, 听一听就好了。 9答案及解析：答案：1.B; 2.A; 3.C; 4.C; 5.A; 6.D; 7.B; 8.D; 9.C; 10.B; 11.A; 12.D; 13.A; 14.B; 15.D; 16.A; 17.C; 18.B; 19.C; 20.D解析：1.根据本空后的Almost everyone who works there has an intellectual or developmental disability可知,该咖啡厅雇用的员工都很“特别(unique)”,无一例外都患有某种残疾。2.根据its their first job可知,对于很多“员工(employees)”来说,这是他们的第一份工作,连空气中都弥漫着他们的“喜悦(joy)”之情。3.解释同上。4.根据本空后的two of her four children, Beau and Bitty, who have Down syndrome可知,Amy Wright两个患有唐氏综合征的孩子赋予她开这间咖啡店的灵感。inspire意为“赋予灵感”。5.Wright和丈夫“发现(discovered)”70%的成年残疾人都没有“工作(jobs)”,于是决定针对此事做点儿什么。上文的its their first job提示了jobs。6.解释同上。7.根据本空后的like a lightning bolt(闪电): a coffee shop可知,开咖啡店的念头是Amy Wright灵光一现的结果。hit sb that. 意为“使某人突然想起”。类似的说话还有strike sb that.8.根据本空前的I realized it would be the perfect environment可知,Wright认为咖啡店提供了一处残疾人士可以一起做事的绝佳场所。bring.round说服(某人);使恢复知觉; bring.up提出;教育;养育;呕出; bring.out出版,生产;使显示;说出; bring . together集合;使团结起来。9.在咖啡店里“下单(taking orders)”,为顾客上咖啡,做这些事情会使得这些残疾人士明白他们自己有多“能干(useful)”。10.解释同上。11.根据The shop opened in January 2016 and immediately和National press attention及Today, the Wilmington store employs 40 people可知,该咖啡店2016年1月份开业,很快,门外就排起了“长队(lines)”,随后,媒体报道纷至沓来,六个月后,咖啡店不得不搬到一个“更大的(larger)”地方。follow意为“跟随,跟着”。12.解释同上。13.解释同上。其他几个形容词意思quieter(更安静的), remoter(更偏远的), safer(更安全的)在此均不符合语境。14.第二段中的Almost everyone who works there has an intellectual or developmental disability是本空的提示。15.根据下文的Theyve all gotten really good at their jobs可知,咖啡店的员工团队工作劲头十足,像一台“上足了油的(well-oiled)”机器一样。16.Wright说道:“我们店的等待(wait)时间与别家店相差无几,员工们干起自己的工作来都游刃有余,当(when)有人有需要时,他们会上前帮忙。”17.解释同上。18.根据下文的Creating this has given people a way to municate with people with disabilities可知,Wright最引以为傲的是她的咖啡店在社区里起了“桥梁式(bridges)”的作用,使得身体健全者有机会与残疾人士进行交流与沟通。19.Wright说道:“有了这间咖啡店,人们逐渐意识到,我们彼此之间同(alike)大于异,这也是这间咖啡店的全部意义所在。”20.解释同上。根据此句语法分析可知what为about的宾语。 10答案及解析：答案： In the summer holiday following my birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructors orders, once I started the car, my mind blank. I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the , “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “ left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes , the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a stop just in the middle the road.解析：第一处:eighteen改为eighteenth,考查数次,句意:在我十八岁生日后的那个暑假,eighteen意思为“十八,十八个”,表示数量,eighteenth表示“第十八个的”,故将eighteen改为eighteenth。第二处:first前加the或my,考查冠词。句意:我依然记得第一天使多么艰难。句中特指开始学驾照的第一天,所以在first前加the或my,my first day表示“我(学驾照)的第一天”。故在first前加the或my。第二处:so改为but 考查连词。根据句意可知作者本以为自己已经掌握了教练的话,结果一发动车,脑中一片空白。所以前后文为转折关系。故将so改为but。第四处:goes改为went 考查时态。根据前文中的started可知时态为一般过去时,故将goes改为went。第五处:word改为words 考查单复数。句意教练一直喊“加速”,“减速”,“左转”,word的意思主要是“单词,消息”,words可以表示为word的复数,也表示某人说的话。这里指教练说的那些话,故将word改为words。第六处:Turning改为Turn。考查非谓语动词。分析语境可知教练的话“加速”,“减速”,“左转”都是祈使句,根据前文“Speed up!”也可以看得出来。祈使句应该用动词原形,故将Turning改为Turn。第七处:much去掉。考查固定句型。句型:我如此紧张以至于无法分辨哪个方向是左。固定句型sothat表示“如此以至于”,much为多于成分。故将much去掉。第八处:late改为later 考查副词。做形容词的时候,later是late的比较级,如Their deadline is quite late.Ours is even later.(他们的截止日期很迟.我们的更迟.)做副词的时候,late是迟的意思,later是稍后、随后的意思。句意几分钟之后 故将late改为later。第九处:suddenly改为sudden 考查形容词。句意我来了个紧急刹车。suddenly是副词,表示“意外地,忽然地”。sudden为形容词,表示“突然的;迅速的”。a sudden stop表示“急刹车”。故将suddenly改为sudden。第十处:on改为of 考查介词。分析语境可知作者表示“在路中间急刹车”,on the road表示“在路上”,the middle of the road表示“路的中央”,强调的是“the middle”。故将on改为of。
