For a fever, I would receive a red pill, which I now know is a type of antibiotic (抗生素).六校联考高三年级英语试卷第3页/共8页 六校联考高三年级英语试卷第4页/共8页Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus. The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms. When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold, I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor, sayingthat I should get some really good rest. The first time this happened, I was shocked. I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine. But the longer I stayed in Germany, the better I knew how to self-medicate as other Germans do.I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance. But what I like the most is drinking “Erkaltungstee”. For German people, Erkaltungstee is what their grandmother gives them when they catch a cold. Its a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind. Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup. During my first winter in Germany, I got a really bad cold. My neighbor brought me a bowl of chicken soup to make me feel better. It contained a lot of ginger, onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recover.24. How did the author feel after seeing the German doctor?A. Surprised B. Relieved C. Satisfied D. Stressed25.

What do Germans think of “Erkaltungstee”?A. It can replace any cold remedy.B. It can build up ones resistance.C. Its better than chicken soup.D. Its a good way to self-medicate.27. What can we infer from the text?A. The author often catches a cold in Taiwan. B. Germans tend not to use antibiotics to treat cold. C. The author seldom drinks chicken soup. D. German doctors are cold to patients. C Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid， making it much easier to store.Carbon capture isnt new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into liquid and then injected underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst(催化剂) that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is the dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode(焊条), which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.” 28. What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods?A. People have to injected liquid to the gas.B. The previous methods can be done easily.C. People have widely accepted previous methods.D. The previous methods are not very popular.29.What is the special part of the new method?A. It needs electricity to make the process efficient.B. It doesnt need extreme temperature.C. It can be done in any kind of container.D. It can produce much solid carbon.30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The method will influence the future industry. B. The method will make fossil oil disappear.C. The method will make developed countries more powerful.D. The method will be used to make new vehicles.31.What is the best title for the passage?A. A new carbon capture technology.B. How to change carbon into CO2. C. A new technology to get useful carbon.D. Australia makes the world cleaner than before.DDemand for the Chinese tech companys devices(设备)is red hot even though the countrys overall market for smart phones is getting smaller. Huaweis China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final quarter of 2018，and experts say thats partly due to the US governments global campaign against the company.“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义)in Chinese consumers,” said Jusy Hong，an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firms chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States.Huaweis booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the United States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究)criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the worlds biggest smart phone maker by next year.Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018，nearly three times as many as Apple(AAPL)，according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apples sales plunged almost 20%.Huaweis success in China, the worlds largest smart phone market is more than about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship, high-end phones because they have great cameras, cutting edge phones，Huawei is able to target a bigger market.It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE(ZTCOF)，a rival Chinese smart phone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for months last year.32. Why did Huaweis China sales increase greatly according to the article?A. Because Chinese consumers patriotism was aroused.B. Because the companys devices are always popular worldwide.C. Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.D. Because the countrys overall market for smart phones is getting bigger.33. What can we conclude from the third paragraph?A. All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.B. Huaweis chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US s request. C. Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huaweis chief financial officer.D. Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huaweis chief financial officer is unfair.34. How do you understand the underlined word plunged in the fifth paragraph?A. increased greatly by. B. reduced greatly to. C. remained steady. D. dropped greatly by.35. Why is Huaweis success in China more than about geopolitics?A. Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.B. Because Huaweis success is only limited within China mainland.C. Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.D. Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.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。The idea that I would be rewarded if I worked hard enough was deeply rooted in me. So I spent long hours in the lab, steadily filled pages in my notebook, and was praised for my hard work. When my experiments didnt produce the exciting results they were expected to, 36 Yet here I was, working harder than everbut not getting anywhere. I didnt know what to do.It was late in the evening. One other person was still in the lab: A post-doctor(博士后), who noticed my situation, came over and gently asked how I was doing. 37 I didnt tell him that I was also wondering what was wrong with me. After we talked through the experiment, the post-doctor said, “I think its time to go home and get some sleep.” He added with a smile, “Taking a break is also hard work, you know?” Those comments planted the seed of a new approach: novel ideas do not come from a mind constantly under pressure. My best ideas and “aha” moments almost always come after I allow my mind to relaxwhether thats playing video games with my brother, cooking a nice dinner, or going on long hikes with my wife. 38 Today, a decade after that eye-opening evening in the lab, I try to pass this mindset on to my own students. Not too long ago, in the lab one night, I walked by one of my students. I gently asked how she was doing. With a defeated look, she responded that the plan for the experiment refused to work, again, despite many attempts. I couldnt help but see myself all those years ago. 39 I asked her why we do what we do. Often it comes down to pursuing curiosity and passion.How can we foster that spirit? 40 Work-life balance is not a harmful thing to excellent research, or an optional bonus, but a fundamental part of it. A. So I worked even harder, ignoring the result. B. Part of working smarter, I realized, can be taking a break. 六校联考高三年级英语试卷第5页/共8页 六校联考高三年级英语试卷第6页/共8页 C. The answer does not include working ourselves to exhaustion. D. By striking a balance between working hard and getting some sleep. E. I thought I just needed to work more. F. I told him about my struggles with the experiment and that I felt like a failure. G. We talked for a while about academic life and what it means to be a researcher.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分)第一节 (共20小题；每小题l. 5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。What do you do with an orchid (兰花) after its petals（花瓣） have fallen off? 41 youre an expert on growing these plants, you may find that they never 42 for you again.Just like most things rare and beautiful, they dont 43 forever.
