10、短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。21（6分）“Mom, what is that?” asked my son. “The Bride of Chucky?”The old doll I was holding was pretty scary. Her glass eyes were especially horrible, closing when she stood upright and flying open when she lay flat. Once she had been loved, but she had been stored in an a

11、ttic (阁楼) for decades, where the extremes of heat and cold can be hard on a girls looks. Throw her in the waste bin? Maybe. But first, lets check eBay.I clicked, supplied the required information about condition, including defects (i.e., “Only a miracle could save this doll”), and uploaded its photo

12、s. I sold it for $5.The buyer was happy: “As described!” he wrote on my feedback page. “Super seller!” The doll found a home and, I hope, a new life. Maybe she was used to repair other dolls. Perhaps those strange eyes got fixed and once again can inspire a childs love. Its a win-win, if you ask me.

13、I also sold lots of other stuff. None of them brought in a lot of money, though I have been surprised at the occasional bidding war, like, for example, the one over an old swimsuit that would have made Brigitte Bardot look bad. And some customers, lets face it, are strange. Recently I had a hard tim

14、e convincing an Australian would-be buyer of an Irish souvenir bell that I dont shop internationally; its just too much trouble. He could have flown to Ireland and bought his own bell for the price he was willing to pay. Another time, a buyer complained that the electric wire on an old radio was dir

19、tice makes perfect seems to make no sense when it comes to schoolwork. Many educators today are looking for evidence to support the case for homework, but are coming up empty-handed. “Homework is all pain and no gain,” says author Alfie Kohn. He points out that no study has ever found a relationship

20、 between homework and academic achievement in elementary school.Mary Jane Cera is the academic administrator for the Kino School, a private, non-profit kindergarten0through-12th-grade school in Tucson, Arizona, and she maintains a no-homework policy across all grades. The purpose of the policy is to

21、 make sure learning remains a joy, not a thing that discourages social time and creative activity.Many supporters of homework argue that life is filled with things we dont like to do, and that homework teaches self-discipline, time management and other non-academic life skills. Kohn challenges this

22、popular idea; he says that if kids have no choice when it comes to homework, theyre not really exercising judgment, and are instead losing their sense of autonomy.At the Kino School, Cera says children often choose to take their favorite parts of school home. “A lot of what we see kids doing is cont

23、inuing to write in journals, practicing music with their friends, and taking experiments home to show their parents,” she says. Surveys of Kino graduates suggest that the early control they are given over their education continues to serve them well into college, and that they feel better equipped t

24、o manage their time and approach professors with questions than other students do.One of the reasons why we continue to assign homework, Kohn says, is our obsession（着迷）with standardized tests. Even if we can agree on the importance of kids doing better on tests, he says, there is no research to sugg

25、est that homework is the ticket to success.Wherever the homework debate goes next, its worth taking a moment to examine if were asking the right questions about our childrens education.1、Which of the following is Kohns idea?AHomework teaches students life skills.BStandardized tests are not important

26、 in education.CThe quality of homework is linked to students interests.DHomework is not connected with academic achievement in elementary school.2、According to the text, Mary Jane Cera _.Athinks that learning should help develop students creativityBargues some homework should be assigned to students

36、erican calendars since 1937, when President Franklin DRoosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who “discovered” the Americas in 1942. However, the holiday has always been controversial. Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for

37、“discovering” the continent, since native Americans had already been living there for generations.Besides, the explorers mission was not a scientific “voyage of discovery”, but one intended to conquer the new land. Critics maintain that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage, caused

38、the deaths of hundreds of thousands of indigenous(土著的) people. Those that survived the massacre became slaves, working in mines. Many, therefore, believe that the explorers arrival should not be celebrated.In 1977, a delegation of Native nations at the International Conference on Discrimination Agai

39、nst Indigenous Populations in the Americas, proposed renaming the holiday to “Indigenous Peoples Day”. The proposal passed with a majority.However, convincing the rest of the country to do the same was not that easy. It took 15 years before the city of Berkeley in California adopted the name in 1992

40、 and then 22 more years before Minneapolis, MN and Seattle, WA did the same in 2014. The following year, eight more cities including Albuquerque, NM and Portland, OR, began celebrating the second Monday of October as “Indigenous Peoples Day”. The movement really started to gain momentum in 2016 when

41、 19 cities, including Boulder, CO and Phoenix, AZ, as well as the states of Minnesota and Vermont, all decided to rename the day to honor Native Americans. In 2017, 21 more cities, including Austin, TX and Los Angeles, CA have made the shift.With the increasingly larger number of cities moving away

42、from Columbus Day each year, it will be interesting to see if “Indigenous Peoples Day” gets federal recognition. Meanwhile, it will continue to be the focal point of debates throughout the Americas.1、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?AIndigenous Peoples Day Has Got Federal Reco

Lopifit is an unusual mean

46、s of transportation that allows you to power an electric bicycle by walking on a treadmill.Lopifit founder Bruin Bergmeester says it all started when he asked himself the question. How can I use a treadmill outdoors? He eventually came up with a design, to which he added an electric engine, and Lopi

47、fit was born. The treadmill bicycle is similar to a typical electric bicycle in that the motor only works when the rider puts power in as well. The Lopifit senses it when you walk on the treadmill and uses the motor to turn a drive chain at the back part of the treadmill, helping you reach a top spe

48、ed of 17 miles per hour.To use the Lopifit, simply turn on the battery and use your feet to slide the treadmill backwards and activate (激活) the motor. Then get on and enjoy the ride! If you need speed, just walk on the treadmill, and if you want to coast, all you have to do is stay still and admire

49、the view. To stop, you have two hand brakes available.The Lopifit first hit the streets in 2014 and, unsurprisingly, became an instant hit. That was actually quite challenging for the company, because it started get inquiries and calls for orders, but it was nowhere near ready for mass production. T

50、he unique treadmill bicycle became available this year, and Lopifit is struggling to keep up with demand, despite the high price tag of $ 2,115.But despite having a very loyal fan-base of so-called Lopifitters, the creative means of transportation also has naysayers who simply consider the invention

51、 stupid and unnecessary. They basically believe that if youre going to walk, you might as well do it the old-fashioned way. But the Lopifit does have the unique advantage of helping you walk really fast without breaking a sweat, or walking at cycling speed, if you will.1、With the help of Lopifit, yo

52、u can _.Acycle to work by walkingBoffer power to any bicycleCcreate a treadmill on wheelsDanswer some hard questions2、From the second paragraph, we can learn _.Ahow Lopifit was createdBwhere Lopifit can be usedCwho Lopifit is intended forDwhich design is suitable for Lopifit3、What can be learned fro

53、m the fourth paragraph?ALopifit was cheap and available in 2014.BLopifit always broke down on the streets.CIt was hard for the company to design Lopifit.DThe supply of Lopifit failed to meet the demand.4、How do the public react to Lopifit?APositively.BVariously.CAngrily.DCautiously.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第
