Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and if you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proude
20、st of. Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles.When she is on the stage, audiences often go silent. They also laugh, shout and cry. But this doesnt come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America.
21、When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”.“How do I defend myself?” Tahay thought. “I dont know how.”河南省郑州市 2018 年高中毕业年级第三次质量预测英语试题卷第 4 页 共 11 页“Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, youll
22、learn.”She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDs: English without Barriers.Tahays elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club. In the last six years, her English teacher Laurie Kurnick has turned Cleveland Charter High Schools poetry program in
23、to one of the most respected in the city. Her team draws from the likes of D.H. Laurence, Pat Mora and Kendrick Lamar to create poems about their own lives. The poems focus on many things some funny, some painful.The first time Tahay read the groups poems, chills went up her spine (脊柱). “I wish I co
24、uld write like that,” she thought. “I want to say something.”She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldnt even
25、finish it.” But she kept at it despite her less-than-perfect grammar, spelling and diction (措辞). Still, she wouldnt tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her.But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me that Im worth som
26、ething.”“She had this innocence,” Kurnick said. “This willingness to be genuine and show you things you dont ever see.” 24. What did Tahays mother suggest she do when she was teased by others?A. Fight with them bravely. B. Report them to her teachers.C. Ignore them and keep going. D. Try hard to mak
27、e friends with them.25. What are the themes of Tahay and her teams poems?A. Their admiration for the great poets. B. Their appreciation of natural beauty.C. Their expectations of a better future. D. Funny and painful stories about their lives.26. How did Tahay probably feel when she first read the g
28、roups poems?A. She was cold. B. She was excited.C. She was nervous. D. She was frightened.27. How did Tahay benefit from writing poems?A. She felt more confident about herself. B. She won many national poetry competitions.C. She became the first student poet in the city. D. She improved her grammar
29、and spelling greatly.C“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the canyons edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like got it done, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University,
30、 US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkels latest study has just f
31、ound out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The 河南省郑州市 2018 年高中毕业年级第三次质量预测英语试题卷第 5 页 共 11 页Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next d
32、ay the students memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.When people rely on technology to remember them 一 counting on the camera to record the event and thus n
33、ot needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a sp
34、ecific area could even recall parts that werent in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldnt reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember
35、, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they arent usually very organized o
36、n their computers.28. Why did the author mention Henkels trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning?A. To complain about some tourists bad habits.B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy ones tour. .C. To point out peoples obsession with taking pictures.D. To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Ca
37、nyon.29. What can we learn from Henkels study?A. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories easily.B. Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C. People should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.D. Pictures focusing on the detai
38、ls of objects probably improve peoples memories.30. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to “ ”.A. the camera B. technology C. the event D. an object31. What is the article mainly about?A. Peoples obsession with taking pictures and its influence.B. Possible ways of using pictures
39、to improve ones memory.C. Great harm to memory caused by taking pictures constantly. D. A believable study into the negative impact of lining cameras often.DSince English biologist Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural h
40、istory. However, a lot of information is still the of speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.河南省郑州市 2018 年高中毕业年级第三次质量预测英语试题卷第 6 页 共 11 页One subject that they guess about in why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed
41、 them to move onto and live on land.Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.Homer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides
42、. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land.Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods”. Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but
43、 only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Homers theory to places where foss
44、il deposits (沉积物) of the earliest tetrapods were found.According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is be
45、cause the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UKs University of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, yo
46、u become food or you run out of food. the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (翻转) themselves back in the water.”As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge Universitys paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature
47、 magazine, seemed unconvinced. “Its only one of many ideas for the origin of land- based tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.32. Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?A. Alfred Romer. B. Charles Darwin.C. Hanna
48、h Byrne. D. Steven Balbus.33. Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?A. There were larger oceans. B. Earth was closer to the moon.C. The moon gave off more energy. D. Earth was under greater pressure.34. The underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 8 probably means “ ”.A. found B. settled C. abandoned D. trapped35. What is the focus of the article?A. The arguments over a scientific theory.B. The proposal of a new scientific theory.C. Some new evidence to support a previous theory.D. A
