并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A Jane Austen s final novel Persuasion is the story of Anne Elliot and her love for Frederick Wentworth Persuaded to refuse his suggestion of marriage Anne spends eight years unhappy until he re enters her life Details Stock 现货 Out of stock PrizeUncertain no recent updates from the publisher PublisherPan Macmillan Publishing HouseMacmillan Collector s Library Library of CongressEngland Social life and customs novel Description What happens when we listen to others instead of our heart That is the theme of Jane Austen s final novel Persuasion After Anne Elliot follows the advice of her dearest friend and breaks off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth a handsome man with neither good luck nor rank happiness escapes from her Eight years later Anne remains unmarried and her father spends money carelessly which has brought her family poverty When a newly wealthy Frederick returns from the Napoleonic Wars Anne realizes her feelings remains unchanged But will Frederick forgive her and offer Anne a second chance at love The novels of Jane Austen will transport readers imaginary worlds and provide excitement inspiration and entertainment for years to come All of these novels have attractive pictures and will brighten our life Author s Introduction Born in 1775 Jane Austen published four of her six novels anonymously 匿名地 and she passed away in 1817 Her work was not widely read until the late nineteenth century and her fame grew from then on Known for her amusing clever and sharp insight into social traditions her novels about love relationships and society are popular In novels such as Pride and Prejudice Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her careful analysis of life back that time through descriptions of the middle class in small towns Her sharp descriptions of ordinary people have given her novels timeless popularity She has earned a place in history as one of the most loved writers of English literature 21 The novel Persuasion is A a love story B no longer published C mainly about advice on speaking skills D based on JaneAusten s real experience 22 Why doesAnne Elliot choose not to marry Frederick Wentworth A Because she doesn t like him anymore B Because she is convinced to do so by her friend C Because she is afraid that he will die in the Napoleonic Wars D Because she doesn t think he is rich enough to support her family 23 We know from the passage JaneAusten s works A have disappeared from the market B are about the life of the middle class in big cities in England C focus on the life of the middle class in small places in her days D have brought her great popularity she always wanted to have 2 B In many一even most一space themed films whenever Earth faces a disaster the solution is always leaving the planet in spaceships But the latest Chinese sci fi movie The Wandering Earth offers a different idea In the film which is adapted from a short story by Chinese sci fi writer Liu Cixin Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying Sun Humans around the world work together to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the Sun Instead of leaving Earth 一 again 一 this time we re taking it with us This idea didn t come from nowhere For thousands of years Chinese people have had a special emotion at their homeland in their hearts and minds One old saying is luo ye gui gen which means returning to one s homeland in old age like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree Or look to an ancient poem The season called the White Dew 白露 begins tonight Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright These both show the strong relationship that Chinese people have had with their homeland This is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood style space films What is Chinese sci fi Guo Fan the film s director said in an interview Films that can really express Our cultural and spiritual core 精神核心 can be called Chinese sci fi Otherwise we re just copying others and telling the same American stories And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell the Chinese sci fi story The film was screened on Feb 5 the first day of Chinese New Year It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns So to them there is only one possible way to tell the story Earth goes wherever humans go because it s our home 24 What can we know about The Wandering Earth from the passage A It follows the latest film fashion B It is based on Liu Cixin s book C It is a film copying foreign movies D It offers us a new experience of watching films 25 What does Para 3 mainly talk about A The suitable season when the film was screened B The famous poems mentioned in the film C The common points between Chinese films and foreign films D The cultural background of the film 26 The makers of this film choose Feb5 to put on it probably because A it was the Spring Festival and many people have time to see it B many old people want to return to their hometown C it can cause many people s common feelings at this time D Chinese people usually celebrate together on that day 27 What can we infer from Guo Fan s words A American sci fi fails to express its culture B The Wandering Earth tells a foreign story C Chinese sci fi should have its own features D Science fiction films should express certain spiritual cores C Nine mini cheetahs robots appeared in the field to show their athletic abilities The four legged machines mini versions of the larger and heavier Cheetah 3 began with a warm up run across the field Though they may be similar to their predecessors 原先的事物 the new four legged machines are much more advanced Weighing just nine kilograms the robots can bend and swing their legs wide giving them the ability to walk either right side up or upside down They can also travel through uneven places at about twice the speed of an average person s walking pace and quickly right themselves if kicked to the ground and perform unbelievable 360 degree backflips 后空翻 from a standing position Unlike the Cheetah 3 the main robots are built using cheap and easy to find parts This means that if an arm or a motor breaks it can be easily replaced If you wanted to add another arm you could just add three or four more of these motors said lead developer Benjamin Katz You could put these parts together almost like Legos The team which currently has ten of the four legged machines plans to build additional units in other university robotic labs A big part of why we built this robot is that it makes it easy to experiment and just try crazy things because the robot is very strong and doesn t break easily and if it does break it s easy and not very expensive to fix said Katz He believes that this will enable other engineers to teach the robots different skills Eventually I m hoping that we could have a robotic dog race through an obstacle course where each team controls a mini cheetah with different ways and we can see which strategy is more effective That s how you accelerate research said Katz The team s reason for developing the robots extends beyond entertainment They hope that someday packs of cheetahs will assist first respondents with search and recovery missions following natural disasters like earthquakes work alongside firefighters and even respond to military emergencies 28 Which of the following best describes the mini robot A Delicate B Portable C Complex D Flexible 29 Why are cheap materials used for the mini robot A To test it out in other fields B To produce it on a large scale C To make sure it s easy to repair D To make people afford to buy it 30 What s the main purpose of making the cheetahs A To replace firefighters B To entertain people in a way C To bring more convenience to people D To help people in dangerous situation 31 Where is the text most likely from A A diary B A magazine C A novel D A guide book D Although we live in an era where everything seems to be available immediately our study suggests that today s kids can delay gratification 满足感 longer than children in the 1960s and 1980s said University of Minnesota psychologist Stephanie M Carlson This finding stands in great contrast with the assumption by adults that today s children have less self control than previous generations The original marshmallow 棉花糖 test conducted by researchers at Stanford University involved a series of experiments in which children aged between 3 and 5 years were offered one treat that they could eat immediately or a larger treat if they waited Researchers then left the room to see how long the children would wait and watched from behind a one way mirror Interestingly today s adults thought that children nowadays would be more impulsive and less able to wait Carlson found Our findings serve as an example of how our beliefs can be wrong and how it s important to do research said co author Yuichi Shoda PhD at the University of Washington The researchers offered several possible explanations for why children in the 2000s waited longer than those in prior decades They noted a statistically significant increase in IQ scores in the last several decades Another explanation may be society s increased focus on the importance of early education according to Carlson The primary objective of preschool changed from largely custodial care 监护 to 3 school readiness in the 1980s Parenting also has changed in ways that help promote the development of executive function such as being more supportive of children s self control the researchers noted Walter Mischel of Columbia University who co authored this paper noted that while the results indicate that the children s ability to delay is not weakened on the marshmallow test the findings do not speak to their willingness to delay gratification when faced with the many temptations now available in everyday life 32 According to the passage what is the adults assumption about today s children A They are not easy to please B They are less able to control themselves C They don t like things that are easy to get D They have different personalities from previous generations 33 What does the underlined word impulsive in Paragraph 3 mean A productiveB considerateC clear mindedD hot headed 34 What did the researchers find about children in the 2000s A They are more prepared to go to school B They are not as clever as previous generations C They are taught self control only by their teachers D They don t need any custodial care in their early childhood 35 What does the author want to tell readers in the last paragraph A Most children nowadays can t resist the temptations of everyday life B Children chose to delay gratification willingly in the marshmallow test C The test can t accurately measure children s willingness to delay gratification D Children s ability to delay gratification is weakened because there are many temptations 第二节 共第二节 共 10 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的七个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分 根据短文内容 从短文后的七个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 选项 Male frogs use territorial calls to warn off frogs that are entering their territory 36 So they do not waste energy by making territorial calls when they detect those frogs near their territory However if an unknown frog approaches the land they claim as their own males will aggressively let out a territorial call 37 Warning calls are employed to warn other frogs of some nearby danger and are commonly heard when an attacker comes near 38 If an attacker attacks a frog the frog will make a call almost like a scream which is intended to scare the attacker This scream is almost always made when the attacker succeeds in grasping the frog because should it be greatly surprised the attacker may release the frog which might permit the animal to make its escape 39 which is employed when another frog is caught hold of by mistake This regularly happens during the mating season when male frogs eager for a mate wrongly grasp another male In other cases females that have already mated may make this call when different male frogs catch them 40 Whenever a male catches a female of another species the female gives the release call to inform the male that he has made a mistake and should let go A Frog calls further differ between species B The final major call made by frogs is the release call C To the human ear frog mating calls may all sound similar D Frogs make short sharp loud sounds while they hurry away E Males can recognize the calls their neighbors make from afar F If the strange frog does not leave immediately it may be attacked G There are some special occasions when frogs belonging to different species mix with one another 第三部分第三部分 语言知识运用语言知识运用 共两节 满分共两节 满分 45 分分 第一节 共 20 小题 每小题 1 5 分 满分 30 分
