河北石家庄市高三下二模英语试卷

Upon entering college, Yang Yi was uncertain about a lot of things. However, the 19-year-old international economics and trade student was certain about one thing: She wanted to participate in animal welfare efforts.
“I'm .always a nature and animal lover," she said. She joined the environmental protection association at her school. Now being president of a group of 25, she leads its efforts to help stray(流浪)cats and dogs by raising money to buy them food and collecting old clothes to make them homes.
However, sometimes the association raises doubts. Some students have questioned whether helping stray animals breaks the laws of nature. "We tried to resolve the controversy," Yang said. “For wild animals, the best way to protect them is to preserve their environment and their natural habitat, and to let them live their own way. However, for animals that depend heavily on humans, such as dogs and cats, the proper way to treat them is to respect them and take care of them." Besides, if not accommodated properly, stray animals can bring threats to public health, as they are the main cause of rabies(狂犬病)in cities. "Now, many young people in China have agreed upon the need to strike a balance between humans and nature. The only problem is how," said Yang. Yang and her fellow volunteers are cautious about what they do to help. For instance, sometimes people feed stray cats human food such as chocolate. But Yang and her friends point that such food can be dangerous to stray cats.
Yang also cooperates with Non-Governmental Organizations to spread animal protection knowledge. One of their recent exhibits was about animals in the entertainment industry. "We are still figuring out the best way to protect animals, but simple deeds such as saying no to animal performances can prevent wildlife from being captured and tamed. Step by step, we'll eventually reach our goal," she said.
Why did Yang Yi join the environmental protection association?

A.She majored in a relevant field.
B.She wanted to protect nature and animals.
C.She was uncertain about her life.
D.She intended to know about animal welfare.

What do the group members do for stray animals?

A.They shelter them with old clothes.
B.They feed human food to them.
C.They train them for entertainment.
D.They donate money to the association.

In paragraph 3,Yang believes that

A.all animals should live naturally
B.young people have known how to balance human and nature
C.stray animals are bound to spread rabies
D.chocolate is not a proper food for stray cats

What does Yang Yi think of her work?

A.Enjoyable. B.Doubtful. C.Hopeful. D.Awful.

Selfies (自拍) have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments. When it comes to taking selfies , knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product. .
The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light. source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. Additionally, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing.
When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally and vertically. If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.
One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activities-hiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that's too busy.
You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters, which can change your skin tone and eliminate pimples (粉刺) on your face.
To get an image of high quality, you need to _______.

A.be under the light source
B.be against the main light
C.face the main light source
D.have the photo fully exposed

How can you find the angle that suits you most?

A.Study your face at different angles.
B.Hold the camera far enough from you.
C.Keep the camera lower than your face.
D.Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.

Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies?

A.The use of natural light.
B.A landmark as a background.
C.Changes of the skin tone.
D.A busy background.

Q: I currently entered college in New York. Since English is not my first language, I sometimes ask a friend to read my essays to help fix the grammar and language. I believe I'm being graded mainly on my ideas, and my friend helps me get my ideas across better in English. Is this OK?
-Mariana
A: It's good that you want to succeed in your written work at college. Making use of available resources to help you succeed is a smart strategy (策略). But while you may believe that your instructors don't care as much about how you write as they do about your ideas, that' s not a fair assumption.
Certainly, your ideas are important. No matter how polished your writing is, it will not disguise a poorly expressed idea in a paper. But as a college student, being able to organize your thoughts clearly-whether you're speaking in class or writing a paper-is critical to show that you've mastered the material in each course. This does not mean you shouldn't ask others to review your written work before handing it in. That's OK.
You should not, however, allow a friend or anyone else to rewrite parts of your papers for you. Instead, ask them to simply let you know about any parts of the paper that are unclear and need work. Many colleges have writing centers where tutors will work with you on your writing-without doing the work for you.
Regardless of whether you consult with a friend or a tutor, the right thing is for you to talk to your instructors to ask their advice and let them know you plan to seek assistance with your writing. If you ask them in advance for guidance on what's appropriate and what's not for the written work they assign, that will allow you to be as transparent as possible about how you completed your assignments.
-Professor Byron
What problem does Mariana meet?

A.She has trouble learning English grammar.
B.She wonders if her method on writing is suitable.
C.She doesn't get on well with her classmates.
D.She isn't able to express herself in English.

According to Pro. Byron, what's the most important in writing a paper?

A.Professional advice. B.Polishing carefully.
C.Organizing thoughts. D.Familiar materials.

When asking someone for help on your paper, you should ask him ______.

A.to hand in the paper after reading it
B.to write the difficult part for you
C.to make a writing. plan for you
D.to tell you the part to be improved

What does the underlined word refer to in the text?

A.Essays. B.Courses.
