I miss the smell of my son's hair
Years ago I remember a school experiment where we wore blindfolds to pretend to be blind and, on another occasion, wearing headphones to experience being deaf. However, I don't remember (1) (talk) about not having a sense of smell. In fact, I wasn't aware that some
people couldn't smell (2)_ I met Max Christian. Max is a congenital anosmic--which means he was born without a sense of smell. This condition (3) (call) anosmia. And in the US alone there are over two million people who have it. Some were born that way, but most developed it as a result of an illness of injury.
One of the worst implications of having no sense of smell is a significant loss of taste. The taste of food is a combination of sensations from your tongue and, much more importantly, the smell of gases from (4) you are chewing. "Water, apple juice, onion juice. Never (5) I tell the difference between them!" Max admits.
Day-to-day life also gets a lot more dangerous without the warnings (6) (provide) by a sense of smell. Think of the times you've left something on the oven for too long. The first sign of what an anosmic gets is the smoke. And have you ever checked the freshness of milk by smelling it? “I’ve been off work sick countless times (7)food poisoning," says another sufferer.
Congenital anosmics are often quite practical about then sense of smell. (8) they’ve never had one, they can’t miss it. But for some, especially those who have developed anosmia later in life, the effect can be very upsetting and lead to serious depression. "I miss the smell of my son's hair, the smell of roses... and even snow," says the personal account of a woman (9) hued injury left her an anosmic. "I feel like not smelling has left me (10) (miss) a part of life that everyone else takes for granted."

Deadly virus approaches tigers
India’s most important tiger-conservation body is to investigate growing concern that Asia’s wild tigers are 1 to a deadly new disease.
The National Tiger Conservation Authority is to fund a study of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) in six of the most important areas for species, which could confirm a problem that a few experts have 2 for a number of years.
There have been 3 of CDV in wild tigers in other parts of their range. Conservationists working in the Russian Far East believe it has affected Amur tigers there since 2004.
According to Dr Dale Miquelle of the Wildlife Conservation Society, a number of tigers were either killed or seriously affected by, a disease that was probably CDV in 2010. And the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve has reported a(n) 4 decline in tiger numbers.
CDV may also exist in the tiger population in Sumatra, where animals have been reported to be behaving 5 and losing their fear of humans.
Dr John Lewis, of the British charity Wildlife Vets International, is helping the Sumatran 6 to fight the risk by training local vets in what he calls “the world’s first tiger-disease monitoring programme.”
Lewis also believes that the way CDV changes behavior could be a factor where tiger-human 7 are an issue.This could be true of the Sundarbans, a large area shared by India and Bangladesh where man-eating is spreading. Lewis hopes to begin monitoring there soon.
Perhaps we should not be surprised that tigers are 8 with CDV. In 2004, it killed 1,000 lions in the Serengeti in Tanzania, and as wildlife reserves are 9 surrounded by people with dogs, the problem is only likely to get worse.
Bus as Miquelle told BBC Wildlife: “Very few people are aware of the potential threat, let alone looking for it, even if it is 10 in the system.” At least now they are.

Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
When Vivek Sodera, 30, awoke with a swollen knee after a night out with friends, he knew he should probably see a doctor. 1 was, “I couldn’t remove from my sofa, and I didn’t want t o pay for cabs to and from the hospital,” says the San Francisco-based entrepreneur.
So Sodera grabbed his phone and opened Doctor on Demand, a new app that allows users to video chat with doctors to get ____2____ help in real time. He typed in his symptoms, got paired with a nearby ____3____ and sent him a few photos of his knee. Within minutes, the doctor informed Sodera that he likely ___4____ his knee and would need an MRI—which he scheduled for the following week.
___5____ reserved mostly for expensive private practices or rural communities that lack access to health care, telemedicine is becoming increasingly mainstream, ____6____ apps like Doctor on Demand, which is backed by Dr.Phil, and HealthTap, which attracts more than 1 million users.
For patients, telemedicine apps are a ___7___, easy alternative to nonemergency consultations. Asking text-based questions on HealthTap and AskMD is free, and a 15-munute appointment via Doctor on Demand costs 40(roughly the same as a regular co-pay, except it doesn’t require insurance). For ___8___ , the apps are a tool to build a public image, attract new patients and make a little extra cash during their downtime.

As Murray Aitken, executive director of the health care consultancy IMS Institute, puts it, “We are going to see a major___9___ in how medicine is practiced and where.”
But there are ___10____. Although telemedicine apps can be useful for diagnosing___11___ illnesses like the flu and assessing minor injuries like Sodera’s dislocated knee, they’re not meant to___12___ replace in-person doctor’s exams---especially for potentially serious ailments like chest pain. It’s also not ____13____ to get prescr iptions(处方) from a doctor who doesn’t have your electronic medical-record history on hand.
The key, says Aitken, is striking a balance----and using telemedicine to replace ___14____ visits. “if there is a way to keep healthy patients out of the doctor’s office through telemedicine,” he says, “that’s s ___15___ thing.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Wemmick’s house was a little wooden cottage in the middle of a large garden. The top of the house had been built and painted like a battery loaded with guns. I said I really liked it.
I think Wemmick's house was the tiniest I had ever seen. It had very few windows, and the door was almost too small to get in.
“Look, ' said Wemmick, ' after I have crossed this bridge, I raise it so that nobody can enter
the Castle.’
The bridge was a narrow wooden board, and it crossed a gap about four feet wide and two deep. But I enjoyed seeing the smile on Wemmick's face and the pride with which he raised his bridge. The gun on the roof of the house, he told me, was fired every night at nine o'clock. I later heard it. Admittedly, it made an impressive sound.
At the back, he said, 'there are birds and rabbits. I’ve also got my own little vegetable garden, and I grow cucumbers. Wait until supper and you’ll see for yourself what kind of salad I can make. If the Castle is ev er attacked, I will be able to hold out for quite a while,’ he said with a smile, but at the same time seriously.
He led me to a little leafy shelter which was only a few metres away, but the path that led to it was so winding that it took us quite a while to get there. It was here that our glasses were set out. Our drink of punch( 潘趣酒)was cooling in an decorative pond, on whose bank the shelter was built. The pond had a small island in the middle, where Wemmick had built a fountain 'I am my own engineer, my own carpenter, my own plumber and my own gardener. I am my own Jack of all Traders, said Wemmick, acknowledging my compliment.
1. What was my first impression of Wemmick’s house?
A. Its garden was impressive
B. It was ridiculous
C. Its door was closed
D. It was small
2. Why had Wemmick built the bridge?
A. For decorative purposes
B. For defensive purposes
C. To fascinate visitors
D. To feel safe from bad weather
3. I at the sight of the pond and the fountain
A. decided to say nothing
B. told Wemmick I liked it
C. thought they were too strange
D. admired Wemmick for his taste
4. The passage is intended to
A. introduce Wemmick to readers
B. show readers "I" was a natured person
C. narrate "my" visit to Wemmick’s house
D. reveal to readers that "I" had good manners

（B）
One Hundred Years of Solitude by the Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez is the novel that made magical realism popular around the world. It tells the story of seven generations of the Buendia family, who live in an isolated South American village called Macondo. This is a place where supernatural happenings are part of everyday life-at one point everyone living in the village suffers from both insomnia and amnesia. Many characters also have magical qualities. One man, whose girlfriend is the most beautiful girl ever born, is always followed by hundreds of butterflies, and people who die early in the story often return as ghosts.
The book has dozens of characters, which can make the plot difficult to follow, but a family tree helps you work out who’s related to who. This brilliant novel, which Marquez says is based on his childhood memories of living with his grandparents, has sold over ten million copies worldwide.
The House of the Spirits was the first novel written by the Chilean author Isabel Allende. It tells the story of three generations of women whose lives are changed by their country’s politics.
The women’s story, which takes place in an unnamed South American country, be gins when the granddaughter, Alba Trueba, finds some diaries that her grandmother Clara wrote 50 years earlier.
As a child, Clara realizes she can see the future and is able to predict almost every event in her life. She marries a powerful landowner named Esteban Trucba, who builds her a large house in the country. The house is full of ghosts and spirits, which advise Clara on how to deal with family problems. The story takes place at a time when political groups are battling for control of the country. This famous novel which began as a letter to the authors dying grandfather, is considered

(C)
BACK in 1896, the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius realised that by burning coal we were adding carbon dioxide to the air, and that this would warm the Earth. But he mentioned the issue only in passing, for his calculations suggested it would not become a problem for thousands of years. Others thought that the oceans would soak up any extra CO2, so there was nothing much to worry about.
That this latter argument has persisted to this day in some quarters highlights our species’ propensity to underestimate the scale of our impact on the planet. Even the Earth’s vast oceans
cannot suck up CO2 as quickly as we can produce it, and we now know the stored CO2 is acidifying the oceans, a problem in itself.
Now a handful of researchers are warning that energy sources we normally think of as innocuous could affect the planet’s climate too. If we start to extract immense amounts of power from the wind, for instance, it will have an impact on how warmth and water move around the planet, and thus on temperatures and rainfall.
Just to be clear, no one is suggesting we should stop building wind farms on the basis of this risk. Aside from the huge uncertainties about the climatic effects of extracting power from the wind, our present and near-term usage is far too tiny to make any difference. For the moment, any negative consequences on the climate are massively outweighed by the effects of pumping out ever more CO2. That poses by far the greater environmental threat; weaning ourselves off fossil fuels should remain the priority.
Even so, now is the time to start thinking about the long-term effects of the alternative energy sources we are turning to. Those who have already started to look at these issues report weary, indifferent or even hostile reactions to their work.
That’s understandable, but disappointing. These effects may be inconsequential, in which case all that will have been wasted is some research time that may well yield interesting insights anyway. Or they may turn out to be sharply negative, in which case the more notice we have, the better. It would be unfortunate, to put it mildly, to spend countless trillions replacing fossil-fuel energy infrastructure （基础设施）only to discover that its successor is also more damaging than it need be.
1.The first two paragraphs tell us that .
A.Oceans play an important part to suck up CO2
B.CO2 does more harm to the land than oceans
C.Some of us don’t take seriously the effect that CO2 makes
D.Arrhenius called on people in the 1800s to stop using coal
2.Why does the author mention “the wind” in paragraphs?
A.To warn people against the overuse of some energy sources.
B.To prove researchers’ idea that the power of wind is inexhaustible.
C.To illustrate that some energy sources are not harmless as thought.
D.To stress the urgency of finding energy sources that cause no damage.
3.What does the word “that” (in the last paragraph) most probably refer to?
A.It is time to start considering what kind of energy we can rely on.
B.People are indifferent to the fact that alternative energy sources are here to stay.
C.There is some doubt whether priority should be given to stopping using fossil fuels.
D.There are negative responses to research on how other energy sources may affect us.
4.Which of the following statements is the writer mostly likely to agree with?
A.Wind needs to be abandoned at once as an alternative energy source.
B.Long-term effects of alternative energy sources should be examined.
C.It’s important to decrease the amount of CO2 released by fossil fuels.
D.The energy source that we are turning to now affects the climate most.
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 4. B
【分析】
1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius mentioned the issue only in passing(顺带一提）；Others thought that the oceans would soak up any extra CO2, so there was nothing much to worry about. 根据文章第二段That this latter argument has persisted to this day in some quarters highlights our species’ propensity to underestimate（低估）the scale of our impact on the planet. 可以清楚看出人类对CO2对环境的危害认识不够。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段的首句Now a handful of researchers are warning that energy sources we normally think of as innocuous could affect the planet’s climate too.其中innocuous 是“无害的”意思。
3.细节理解题。主要看文章第五段的末句Those who have already started to look at these issues report weary, indifferent or even hostile reactions to their work. 这句话和D选项的意思一样。
4.细节理解题。主要看文章最后2段。倒数第2段提到了人们开始考虑替代能源（alternative energy）的效果；最后一段讲到These effects may be inconsequential，说明还不确定。
Section C
All about...Blogs
Diary writing has been part of literature all over the world since prehistoric times. And online diaries are making the genre more popular than ever.
The first is thought to be Justin Hall’s Links from the Underground. Justin wrote a detailed and honest account of his life between 1994 and 2005. At its peak, his website was receiving thousands of visitors a day.
Three years after Justin’s first post, someone came up with a term for what he, and a few other people, were writing--a weblog. The word comes from the words web and log. 1 The early bloggers needed some technical computing skills to make their pages. But from 1999, websites as https://www.wendangku.net/doc/5312216917.html,, which helped anyone to publish their own blog, started to appear. 2 By 2001, there were about a million blogs on the Internet--from “what I had for breakfast, lunch and dinner today’s blogs, receiving few, if any, visits--to protesting anti-war blogs, read and commented on by hundreds of people every hour.
3 They can report on news events within a few minutes and can included photo sand even video. Their readers can participate in the debate on the blogs, adding additional information and links. The news has never been so interactive.
About 60 million people now self-publish their diaries, thoughts and observations online--although this is undoubtedly an overestimate because many of them are never updated. 4 When Google bought https://www.wendangku.net/doc/5312216917.html, in 2003, it gave its users the ability to put adverts on their websites. Popular blogs can now earn thousands of dollars a month through this method and advertising on blogs is now a multi-million dollar business.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. E 4. A
【分析】
1.第3段在讲“to blog”这个词的由来。作者用时间（Three years after Justin’s first post...）D 选项里也有时间（Then in 1999...)来贯穿事情发展的先后顺序。所以选D。
2.选项B中用了“exploded” 这个词描述了blogging这种现象的“爆炸性的增长”, 这和其后的“By 2001, there were about a million blogs on the Internet...”呼应。
3.根据空格后的这句话“ They can report on news events within a few minutes and can included photo sand even video. Their readers can participate in the debate on the blogs, adding additional information and links...” 可知，这里的they 指的是blogs，而且blogs能报道新闻事件。由此可知前面一句话主要讲的是：blogs现在已经被承认是一种新闻报道了。所以选E。
4.因为空格之后的句子主要讲的是: 可以用blog赚钱的事情，故而选项中也应该有提到有关钱的事情，所以选A。
IV．Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
European and Asian languages have one mother tongue
The evolution of language is thought to have much in common with biological evolution Scientists look for similarities between languages that hint at a common ancestor. Just as an extra finger in two species could suggest they shared a common ancestor, two words that have the same meaning and a similar sound in different languages-- known as cognates--may indicate the same thing. For example "brother " in English, "bhratai" in Sanskrit, "frater " in Latin and"frere"in French are all cognates.
Identifying cognates has helped linguists categorise modern languages into families that
evolved from the same ancestor. English, Swedish and Farsi are all part of the Indo-European language family that is thought to descend from proto-Indo-European, whereas Finnish and Hungarian are thought to descend from proto-Uralic.
But could most of the ancestors of the languages on the Eurasian continent be part of a superfamily that evolved from a more ancient mother tongue?
Pagel, Atkinson and colleagues say that not only do their results suggest that the Eurasian superfamily exists, but that they have also been able to mathematically deduce（推断）its evolution.
The key to the breakthrough was the team’s discovery in 2007 that the form of frequently used words evolves at a much slower pace than less common words. These conserved words, the team reasoned, were more Likely to maintain traces of their ancestry than words that evolved rapidly.
They then used this idea to predict which words in a database of Eurasian protolanguages were cognates, removing words that looked and sounded similar but were not high-frequency words. The team then ran a list of these cognates-such as those meaning"T","mother","hand" and"fire"-through a statistical model that deduced the relationship between the words based on how quickly they changed with time. This gave a tree of the Eurasian superfamily whose common ancestor can be traced back 15,000 years.
【答案】根据学生习作改编（仅供参考）
Different languages may have the same ancestor. Words in different languages can have the same meaning and similar pronunciations. Identifying congnates enables linguists to classify modern languages. Linguists suggest the existance of the Eurasian superfamily and deduce its evolution. They think that how words relate with each other depends on the speed they evolved with time.

1.描述调查结果
2.分析具体原因
【答案】
Recently,a survey on teenagers relationship has been conducted by me.According to the result, it’not surprising that they spend as long as 2 hours to chat with their classmates, followed chatting with their teachers by 30 minutes. On the contrary,only 10 minutes are spent to talk with their parents.
From my perspective, I can understand their behavior. First of all, they stay most of their time with their classmates and teachers so there is no doub they talk with classmates most. Besides,chances are that they face difficulties with their study,during their learing,they should discuss the difficulties or consult what they can`t figure out to their classmates or teachers.
As for chatting with their parents ,they can`t afford time and energy to do that after a day`s study. As it know to all that they high school students must spare no effort to study in order to enter a dreaming university which is also their parents` expectation. When they come back home,all they can do is finishing their dinner and taking shwer as soon as possible so that they can spare time to deal with thier homework. I believe once they have done their assignments they will spend more time to chat with their parents.
高三英语周测试题
虎门中学高三周测英语试题1 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） A The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside. There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long. There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures. Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater：The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass. It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed. Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere. “And we came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled. This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film. Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films. Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came here all the time. Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions. “We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan. Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards steal the scene. 21. The first two paragraphs want to show that__________. A. living in Broome is inconvenient B. the life in Broome is boring C. few people like to live in Broome D. Broome is simple but vast 22. Sun Pictures is different from other theaters because _________. A. it is the most historical outdoor theater in the world B. the audience can either sit on chairs or on the grass C. it was built by some constructor from Hollywood D. all the films were imported here from Hollywood 23. Gregory Peck is most probably the name of_________. A. a place B. a film C. a movie star D. a country fellow

石家庄二中2020-2021学年第一学期高三英语学科周测试卷8、23
石家庄二中实验学校2018级英语周考试卷 命题人张建伟做题人殷晓优考试时间8 月23 日 I 阅读理解（共4 小题；每小题2 分，满分8分） Recently, researchers at the University of Toronto figured out a way with a quick video selfie to accurately measure blood pressure with your smartphone’s camera by developing a technology known as transdermal optical imaging (TOI)(透皮光学成像). Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素）under our skin, which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. Researchers measured the blood pressure of 1,328 Canadian and Chinese adults by getting two-minute vide os of their faces on an iPhone. “From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and through this flow, you can get a lot of information,” said Kang Lee, lead author of the study. Lee also helped create an app called Anura, which allows people to try out the TOI software for themselves, giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements for stress levels and resting heart rate. Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or very fair skin. “In order to improve our app to make it usable, particularly for people with hypertension (高血压)，we need to collect a lot of data from them, which is very hard because a lot of them are already taking medicine,”Lee explained. “We cannot tell them not to take medicine, but from time to time, we get participants who don’t take medicine so we can get hypertensive people this way.” The scientists said there were many potential applications of the technology, including providing health services for those who lived in remote areas. 1. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？ A. Information offered by TOI. B. New findings on hypertension. C. How TOI is put into smart phones. D. How the TOI technology works. 2. What might people benefit from the new technology mentioned above? A. Living a life free from stress. B. Improving the heart function gradually. C. Accessing health services for free. D. Knowing abnormal blood pressure earlier. 3. What can be done for a better Anura? A. Equipping phones with better cameras. B. Allowing phones to record longer videos. C. Collecting data from more diverse samples. D. Persuading participants not to take medicine. 4. Why does the author write this text? A. To predict future applications of TOI. B. To introduce TOI and an app related. C. To describe functions of cameras on phones. D. To evaluate the quality of an app called Anura. II 单项选择（必修五U1-U5；满分15分，每小题1分） 5. I _______ Mary’s wedding last Saturday, where I ran into one of my university classmates. A. attended B. joined C. took part in D. participated in 6. ________ to strong sunlight will do harm to your skin. A. Be exposed B. Being exposed C. Exposed D. Exposing 7. First he opened a shop and then he ________ a sign outside the shop to attract customers. A. put out B. put off C. put away D. put up 8.

河北省衡水中学2018届高三上学期一轮复习周测英语试题(有答案)
第一部分阅读理解（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（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A It’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies". Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically（内在地）motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard. Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image. Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations. Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein,who once said,"It's not that I'm so smart,it's that I stay with problems longer."Obviously,finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
