10、） Most American colleges and universities take a spring break. Students might go home to their families -- or spend a week partying on a warm beach with no parents around. That is the popular image, at least. In the United States, the lawful age to drink alcohol is twenty-one -- one of the highest

11、in the world. Americans debate whether it should be lowered, or whether young drinkers would only drink more. In parts of Europe, the lawful drinking age for beer, and sometimes hard liquor, is sixteen. Yet France may raise the age limit for beer and wine sales to eighteen, the same as for hard liqu

12、or there. Rules on alcohol differ from college to college in the United States. Many schools require all first-year students to take an alcohol prevention and education program, often given online. Some have a “zero tolerance” policy where alcohol is banned from all buildings. Parents are informed

13、 of violations and students may be suspended(停學(xué)). At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, permission is needed to serve alcohol at any event on campus. But alcohol is banned in first-year dorms---where most students are under twenty-one anyway. Susan Davis, a university lawyer, says cam

14、pus police and local police report underage drinking violations(違反)to the committee that decides punishments on a case by case basis. For example, the committee might suspend or expel(開除)a student. It might require an alcohol education program. Or it might just give a warning. Jon Zug is a lawyer

15、in Albemarle County, where the university is located. He says international students would face the same punishment as American citizens for underage drinking in Virginia. That includes a punishment of five hundred dollars or fifty hours of community service. But first law-breakers might be given a

16、chance to complete an alcohol education program instead. Schools have to report unlawful violations by international students to the Department of Homeland Security. International adviser Richard Tanson at the University of Virginia says even minor violations stay on a student’s permanent immigrati

17、on record. He says international students should know that this can affect them in the future if they try to re-enter the United States. 41. What does the underlined phrase “by case basis” mean? A. Depending on the seriousness of the case itself. B. According to the report of the campus and loca

18、l police. C. Depending on the judgment of the committee. D. According to the former cases in store. 42. To international students, which of the following may be intolerable once they have drinking violations? A. A punishment of $500 or 50 hours of community service. B. Being given a warning

21、 where we are either asked to choose between trust and disbelief. Many of us would say we have to choose trust over disbelief. Actually we are given intellectual(智力的) power to choose what we want, and what we choose certainly need not be the one that sounds pleasing. That is, we can choose both trus

22、t and disbelief, but we have to know when to choose between these two We should all realize that we are living in a world which is unfortunately mixed with people of various types. We have been given the power of judging who we are working with and who we are partnering with. We cannot give an excu

23、se for believing a scheming(詭計(jì)多端的)person, just because he looked or sounded nice, unless we consider ourselves mentally unskillful. This world was there before us and it does not owe us a single thing. We are asked to take care of ourselves and our belongings. Trust, too, has to be saved for th

24、e deserving(值得的) people. When we give trust universally to all, we end up troubled by the undeserving common cheat. People say trust is life. True! But only wisely exercised trust is life.W When we start a conversation with someone, the first things that we usually notice would be their dress,

25、 behavior, style and their language. What sometimes we all forget to look at is the person’s intention. Now how to look at a person’s intention is a lesson everybody has to learn for themselves in their own way -- there is no single standard for it. But it is certainly possible to discover the purpo

26、se if we seek a little bit more. Certainly a false offer of friendship or guidance cannot stand undiscovered for long; we are therefore called to exercise disbelief over trust at least momentarily till we find out that we certainly are in agreement with a mutual(相互的)good-willed person. The

27、 world teaches you lots of lessons and if we are willing, we can learn all that we want. 57. In the first paragraph, the author ________. A. concentrates on the reason why we make different choices B. focuses on how to choose between trust and disbelief C. suggests that trust should be wisely ex

28、ercised D. implies that people are forced to make the choice 58. The underlined sentence means __________ A. trust and disbelief go hand in hand with each other. B. disbelief is necessary if you aren’t wise C. trust is established if two people know each other D. doubt may serve as the precon

29、dition for trust 59. We can infer from the passage that _________. A. people who we are working with are in fact those who we are partnering with B. the first thing we notice tends to mislead our judgment C. the mentally healthy people will not judge a person by his looks D. the standards o

30、f looking at a person’s intention are various 60. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage? A. Trust or Disbelief? B. Trust Is Life. C. Trust over Disbelief? D. When to Choose between Trust and Disbelief? 57-60 CDBA 科技類 1（2020;2020·甘肅省天水一中三模） A new study in

31、 West Africa shows how farm irrigation systems powered by the sun can produce more food and money for villagers. The study in Benin found that solar-powered pumps are effective in supplying water, especially during the long dry season. Sub-Saharan Africa is the part of the world with the least fo

32、od security. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more than one billion of the world’s people faced hunger last year. Around two hundred sixty-five million of them live south of the Sahara Desert. Lack of rainfall is one of their main causes of food shortages. Jenni

33、fer Burney from Stanford University in California led the study. The research team helped build three solar-powered irrigation systems in northern Benin. The solar-powered irrigation systems produced an average of nearly two metric tons of vegetables per month. They sold the surplus(過剩的) produce

34、 at local markets. The earnings greatly increased their ability to buy food during the dry season which can last six to nine months. People in the two villages with the systems were able to eat three to five more serving of vegetables per day. But making the surplus available at markets also had

35、a wider effect. The study compared the villages with two others where women farmed with traditional methods like carrying water in buckets. The amount of vegetables eaten in those villages also increased, though not as much. The researchers note that only four percent of the cropland in sub-Sa

36、haran Africa is irrigated. Using solar power to pump water has higher costs at first. But the study says it can be more economical in the long term than using fuels like gasoline, diesel or kerosene. And solar power is environmentally friendly. 41. People living in sub-Saharan Africa are short of f

37、ood mainly because______. A. it seldom rains there throughout the year B. there is little farmland in the area C. people there lack experience in farming D. people know nothing about irrigation techniques 42. Which of the following is an advantage of Jennifer’s irrigation systems? A.

38、They are not affected by the weather. B. They cost much less than traditional irrigation systems. C. They have no bad effects on the environment. D. They use less fuel than traditional irrigation systems. 43. We can learn from the last paragraph that______. A. people in South Africa will

39、soon be provided with enough food B. the demand for fuels like gasoline will greatly decrease in Africa C. people in sub-Saharan Africa don’t take agriculture seriously D. it’s worthwhile to use the new irrigation systems on the while 44. People in the two villages owe all the following to

40、 Jennifer’s irrigation systems EXCEPT that ______. A. they could buy more food during the dry season B. they could eat more vegetables than usual every day C. they could supply local markets with vegetables D. they could provide people in other villages with food ACDD 2（2020;2020·

41、甘肅省天水一中三模） Electric cars will not be really much cleaner than autos powered by mineral fuels until they rely less on electricity produced from usual coal-fired power plants. “For electric vehicles to become a major green alternative, the power fuel has to move away from coal, or cleaner coal tec

42、hnologies have to be developed,” said Jared Cohon, the chairman of a National Research Council report released on Monday. About half of US power is produced by burning coal, which gives off many times more of traditional pollutants than natural gas, and about twice as much of the main greenhou

43、se gas carbon dioxide. Nuclear and renewable power have to generate a larger portion of US power for electric cars to become much greener compared to gasoline-powered cars, Cohan, who is president of Carnegie Mellon University, said in an interview. Advances in coal burning, like capturing car

44、bon at power plants for permanent burial underground, could also help electric cars become a cleaner alternative to vehicles powered by fossil fuels, he said. Pollution from energy sources did $120 billion worth of damage to human health, agriculture and recreation in 2020;2020, and electricit

45、y was responsible for more than half of the damage, said the NRC report. Electric cars have their benefits such as reducing imports of foreign oil. But they also have hidden costs. Materials in electric car batteries are hard to produce, which adds to the energy it takes to make them. In fa

46、ct, the health and environmental costs of making electric cars can be 20 percent greater than usual cars, the report said. The report estimated that electric cars could still cost more than gas-powered cars to operate and manufacture in 2030 unless US power production becomes cleaner. 57. Wh

47、y are electric cars not clean enough? A. Because they run too slowly B. Because they are too expensive C. Because they rely on coal-fired power. D. Because they give off more carbon dioxide. 58. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. electric cars will soon take

48、 the place of gas-powered cars B. no one holds hope for electric cars at present C. electric cars waste more energy than before D. some people believe that electric cars are cleaner 59. The underlined word “them” refers to “______”. A. electric cars B. batteries C. produce

50、20·河北省衡水中學(xué)三模A卷） As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat. Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had an apparent memory lapse(喪失), your brain never forgot what you shou

51、ld have done. Memory works mainly by association. For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you’re

52、 heading out of the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter. Your brain knew where the keys were all along. It just took a round-about way to get there. Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure

53、 out just how this complicated process works. First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary(任意的) pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol(cold weather) and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a hat) would be associated with

54、the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice. Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes. “We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkey made the wrong choice, although it apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” sa

55、id study leader Thomas Albright. Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex (ITC), an area of its brain used for visual pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory. As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quar

56、ter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior. Meanwhile, more than half the activity was in a different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire even when the monkey c

57、hose the wrong symbol. “In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.” 57．The example of the keys and soap is given to explain the relationship between __________. A．memory lapse and human brain B．

58、memory and association C．memory and television ads D．memory and our daily life 58．Which of the following best expresses the general idea of the text? A．Your brain may forget something, but not always. B．Activity is a round-about way to memory. C．Your brain remembers what you forget. D．Monk

59、eys have better memory than us. 59．The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice ________. A．a(chǎn)lso knew the correct answer B．had the worst memory C．failed to see the objects well D．had some trouble with its nerve system 60．The underlined word “endures” may be best replace
