A

This is the SCIENCE IN THE NEWS, I'm Barbara Klein.

Animal experts say one of the world's most beautiful and rare kinds of big cat is close to disappearing from the wild. A study earlier this year found that about thirty Amur leopards(豹)still live free. The cats are also called Far Eastern leopards.

Recently, their number has been reduced by one, Some person shot a female Amur, then beat her to death. The animal's body was discovered last month in the Barsovy National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Russia.

An official of the World Wildlife Fund, Darron, said this was the third such killing in the area in the past fives years. Mr, Collins said the death of even one adult female is a huge loss for the endangered cat, He noted that the killing reduces the possibility for cubs（幼兽）or young.

It is not clear how many Amur leopards still live free. One population count was performed in February and March. Wildlife expert Dmitry Pikuuov led this study. It found evidence of seven to nine males. The study identified three to seven females without cubs, Four leopards were identified as females with cubs. In all, five or six cubs were recorded, Six to eight animals could not be identified.

Most of the land where the Amur leopard once lived was in China.New roads and climate change there threatened the animals. So did hunters who kill big cats for their body parts.

Mr. Pikuuov says adult Amurs need about five hundred square kilometers with good forests to survive. He said they also need a large and continuing supply of animals like deer for food. He believes the answer to saving the Amur leopard is for governments to provide protected spaces for wildlife.

Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.

Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One mon way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advise about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.

A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.

Pathos is a speaker’s way of conne cting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. I f the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.

Log os is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back

up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.

Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a bination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a mercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.

32．Why does the author say persuasion is an art?

A. They both entertain the audience.

B. They both require great skill to achieve.

C. They both demand full attention from the audience.

D. They were both mon topics of ancient Greek writers.

33．How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?

A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.

B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.

C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.

D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.

34．What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?

A. Ethos is the most important as pect of persuasion.

B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.

C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.

D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.

35．An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.

A. ethos

B. pathos

C. logos

D. a bination of all three

Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:

Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the ing week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 37 Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making only one loaf of bread? 38 Because it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is to keep trying. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule . The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully, these tips will give you a good start. 40 And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A. Understand your food better.

B. Make three or four more instead.

C. Ability is easily improved.

D. Try new things.

E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

F. These are some of the questions to consider when planning.

G. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1．5分，满分30分）

Manners nowadays in big cities like London are particularly non-existent. It’s 41 for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside for the last 42 seat on the bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is a 43 to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a man of the older 44.

This question of 45 seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed 46, they no longer deserve to be treated 47 and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be 48 as strong as men. Even if it’s not 49 that young men should stand up for older women, however, the fact remains that good manners should

be shown to the old, the 50 and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of 51 that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First e, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, or a mother with a young child stands? 52 this is too often seen.

Older people, tired and easily 53 from a day’s work, aren’t angels, either. Many a sudden argument or a fierce quarrel 54 as the tired people push and pull each other to get on buses or tubes.

If cities are to remain pleasant places to 55 in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that munication in 56 should be improved, but also that munication between human beings should be kept smooth and 57. Shop assistants won’t bother to 58, taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dange rously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell 59 their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it’s up to the young and strong to do their small 60 to stop such “worsening”.

41. A. something B.everything C. anything D.

nothing

42. A. fortable B. remaining C. ideal D. good

43. A. surprise B. pleasure C. pity D. sight

44. A. generation B. race C. kind D. tradition

45. A. taking up B. handing over C. putting away D. giving up

46. A. right B. position C. equality D.

respect

47. A. equally B. specially C. carefully D. warmly

48. A. physically B. socially C. clearly D.

legally

49. A. said B. reported C. agreed D. considered

50. A. young B. poor C. rich D. sick

51. A. determination B. unselfishness C. peace D. generosity

52. A. Instead B. Also C. Yet D. Rather

53. A. disappointed B. annoyed C. frightened D. satisfied

54. A. breaks out B. blows up C. builds up D. sets out

55. A. work B. tr avel C. study D. live

56. A. transport B. homes C. offices D. shops

57. A. simple B. direct C. polite D. clear

2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷(含答案)

2019-2020学年度第一学期高二英语周练试卷 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet #Ashleys Pool Party and look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern. The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom. According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people of my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus. To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something more than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 21 The writer usually rideshares with _____. A. anyone heading the same way B. people he knows

2017-2018学年高二年级周练二英语试卷

江西省安义中学2017-2018学年度上学期高二英语第二次周练试卷 第一节阅读理解 Life is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams. From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found. Salt acts as a natural anti—depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) d epressions”, a study has reported. The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy. The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much. However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food. The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure. Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug. One s ign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless. Humans have a long histor y of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt. 1. What does the underlined word "deficient" in the third paragraph mean? A. enough B. far from enough C. more than enough D. plenty 2. The major role of salt is to ____________. A. help the body work well B. help fight against depression C. help people get rid of an addiction to drugs D. help people enjoy sugary substances 3. Which of the following statements is true? A. People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful to eat too much of it. B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt. C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there. D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health. 4. What kind of food should people eat more of? A. Frozen food B. Fast food C. Red meat D Low--salt food 第二节：七选五 Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes(刻板印象) or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒)．__5__ Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green－eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.__6__ Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others— but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this. __7__. But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either. “It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.” _8__ They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires.__9__ It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them. A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.
