and you were told that you could do anything and be anyone you wanted Somehow though things haven t been that smooth sailing you wanted them to be The world seems to go against you and the last thing you want to hear is Cheer up Still there re a couple of things you might not notice about your situation Next time you re down maybe the following will provide motivation First not everything is bad It s a well accepted fact that bad news makes for sensational 极好的 television ratings The fact that something is negative catches a lot more attention than something positive and that s because it s easy to see things in a negative light However that shouldn t distract you from the bigger picture Resist the tunnel vision that results from constant negativity Remember that even though there s lots of really nasty stuff going on you re surrounded by some pretty awesome stuff as well You should also remember other people aren t you No one likes being compared to another person What makes it even worse if that s even possible is when you do it to yourself Stop comparing yourself to another person and you ll realize that you re very more awesome than you give yourself credit for Last failure isn t where the game stops So you tried something new but you didn t follow through Frustrated 湖北省部分重点中学 2018 届高三第二次联考高三英语试卷 第 4 页 共 10 页 at yourself you stop trying As a result your quality of life goes down terribly You ve given up on it though because you don t see the point since you failed the first time Now you re an adult The things you are trying are much more complicated than five year old you However your behavior shouldn t change in the slightest when you fail in something that s just more information in your data bank You know that method doesn t work so try another one And another one after that Do this until you figure it out Giving up is for lesser beings and you sure aren t one of those 24 The author mentions bad news in order to show that A bad news makes people see things in a negative light B bad news is more likely to catch people s eyes C bad news attracts people to see positive things D bad news has a negative effect on television rates 25 What does the underlined part nasty stuff in Para 4 probably mean A Unstable emotions C Amazing incidents B Important events D Something unpleasant 26 How should we view failure according to the passage A We should change our behavior B We should keep trying the old method C We should learn from failure D We should think in a more complicated way 27 What is the passage mainly about A It inspires us to learn from negative experiences B It compares negative and positive experiences C It criticizes those who are affected by bad experiences D It discusses how negative experiences affect others C Millions could be saved by the recently developed universal vaccine 疫苗 scientists claim According to Science Daily there were two universal vaccines developed by an international team of scientists a USA specific vaccine with coverage of 95 percent of known U S influenza 流感 strains and a universal vaccine with coverage of 88 percent of known flu strains globally Every year we have a round of flu vaccination where we choose a recent strain of flu as the vaccine hoping that it will protect against next year s strains We know this method is safe and that it works reasonably well most of the time Dr Derek Gatherer of Lancaster University said in a statement However sometimes it doesn t work 一 as in the H3N2 vaccine failure in winter 2014 一 2015 一 and even when it does it is extremely expensive and labour intensive Also these annual vaccines give us no protection at all against potential future flu State News Flu explains vaccines work by exposing the immune system to proteins on the exterior of influenza viruses that have been caused to be harmless The vaccines prepare the immune system to be ready once it has come across the particular virus included in the vaccine by developing antibodies 抗体 to fight them off Recalling the 1918 Influenza also called as the Mother of All Pandemics 大流行 the scientists note that it is important to develop vaccines to avoid massive deaths The 1918 Influenza as stated by Stanford killed somewhere between 20 and 40 million people more than the number of deaths during the World War I Dr Gatherer said It doesn t have to be this way Based on our knowledge of the flu virus and the human 湖北省部分重点中学 2018 届高三第二次联考高三英语试卷 第 5 页 共 10 页 immune system we can use computers to design the elements of a vaccine that gives much broader and longer lasting protection Meanwhile the scientists are still looking for partners for a laboratory proof of principle test 28 Where is the result of the research from A Science Daily B China Daily C Stanford D Dr Lancaster 29 What does the underlined word strain probably mean A vaccine B virus C kind D system 30 What can we know about the yearly vaccines A They always work reasonably well to protect against next year s strains B They don t have effect on protecting against next year s strains C They can protect against potential future flu D They have no effect on protecting against underlying future flu 31 Why did the author mention the 1918 influenza in the passage A To show the importance of developing vaccines B To remind people of the terrible event C To explain the reasons for massive deaths D To be in memory of the dead in the influenza D It was a discovery that could change science We hit the jackpot 头条 here said British scientist Guillem Anglada Escude about the discovery of a planet more or less like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri the star nearest to our solar system What do we know about this exciting new Earth Well Proxima b or Earth II as you could call it is a little bigger than our Earth and its years only take 11 days Also since it is so much closer to its red dwarf 矮小的 star than we are to the sun the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all creating a forever sunset effect There are a lot of questions for life forms that could live on this new planet As the Chicago Tribune wrote in an article First as reporter Lois Lane asked Superman in the first movie do you eat Do you have poetry Do you have any interest in visiting other worlds If so put Earth on your Must See list The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the US space postcards from its Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 space probes 探测器 sent up into space in 1972 and the next year Included with the probes were pictures of a man and a woman along with diagrams of the solar system Gold records were also sent up into space on Voyager probes in 1977 If aliens on Proxima b had played the record they would have found sounds and images that showed the incredible diversity of Earth Aliens might also have heard the message from former US President Jimmy Carter This is a present from a small distant world our sounds our science our images our music our thoughts and our feelings We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours We hope someday having solved the problems we face to join a community of galactic 星际 civilizations This record represents our hope and our determination and our good will in an awesome universe It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet even if it has an atmosphere as first we would need to invent a way to get there in less than the 78 000 years it would take at 36 000mph about 57 900km h Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan et B just in case things go really south on this blue planet the Chicago Tribune wrote 32 Which of the following is TRUE about Proxima b 湖北省部分重点中学 2018 届高三第二次联考高三英语试卷 第 6 页 共 10 页 A Proxima b is bigger and closer to the sun than Earth B It is a newly discovered star in the solar system C Proxima b has an atmosphere like the Earth s D The sky of Proxima b turns orange at sunset 33 The postcards and records were sent up into space on probes to A show off the incredible diversity of Earth to aliens B describe Earth and express friendly feelings to aliens C test if there were aliens in space D invite aliens to visit Earth 34 What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs A Earth will get worse and worse in the near future B Proxima b seems to be an alternative living place C We will be able to settle on Proxima b soon D Proxima b is more suitable to live on than Earth 35 What is the main purpose of the text A To give advice on how to visit a new planet B To illustrate the thrills of moving to a new home in space C To prove that aliens really exist on other planets D To report on the discovery of an interesting new planet 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多余选项 How to step out of your comfort

you You re allowed to be less than perfect and you may find that people like you more for it 37 Dare to try You should know the worst thing that can happen when you try something new is that you might fail 38 That you have tried is an accomplishment and even a failed attempt at something new is a measure of success Face your fear There are the big fears such as heights 39 Like the fear of breaking a bone or falling down What are the measures you take every day to avoid negative circumstances And are those circumstances really worth stepping around If you allow yourself to deal with a little discomfort little things could turn into adventures or funny stories 40 Your comfort zone is comfortable because it s where you know what to expect Leaving yourself high and dry can be scary because you might fail and lose something But you might also gain something huh So make yourself become comfortable with that uncertainty 湖北省部分重点中学 2018 届高三第二次联考高三英语试卷 第 7 页 共 10 页 A There are also hundreds
