第I卷
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.
I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.
I know what is inside the paper carrier bag —a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.
Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn?t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.
“Your mother just can?t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I
said.
“Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don?t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”
The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.
So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak t he other?s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.
Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it?s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.
“Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.
1. The author and Wing got to know each other .
A. as next door neighbors
B. when exchanging meals
C. by sharing similar experiences
D. after using an iPad to communicate
2. The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means.
A. do as well
B. offer generously
C. give in return
D. accept with pleasure
3. The author?s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .
A. great satisfaction
B. real kindness
C. heartfelt thanks
D. sincere friendship
B
It?s not what you look at that matters; it?s what you see.
——Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.
Why slow?
When people look slowly at a piece of art，they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert. And that?s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.
How does it work?
One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience. That^ it. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art. In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.
By the numbers
Over 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010. Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.
700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.
Participants love Slow Art Day
Feedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive. Here?s a sa mple:
“I loved taking the time to just …be? with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by. It?s a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble. Discussion afterwards was fun，interesting, informative and eye-opening. I look forward to doing it again.”
Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday, April 8, in museums and galleries worldwide. Join us and experience art differently.
4. The author quotes Thoreau?s words at the beginning to.

B. It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.
C. It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.

Got big plans for Friday night? That?s OK, we don?t either.
Guess we?ll all have to make do by watching the celestial (天空的)show that will take place that night.
First, there will be a full moon. That?s always fun, but this one will be a little more special. It?s known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer?s Almanac.
But if that?s not special enough, there?s also an eclipse (月食)that night. It?ll be a penumb ral lunar eclipse, meaning ifs a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth?s shadow. No, it won?t be as spectacular as those “blood moon” eclipses. It?ll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.
In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m. ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m. ET.
If that?s still not enough, let?s throw in a comet (彗星)to the night?s festivities.
Comet 45P (it has a much longer name, but we won?t burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.
Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m. ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.
And don?t forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.
8. According to the text, what can be viewed on Friday night?
A. A blood moon.
B. A total solar eclipse.
C. A partial lunar eclipse.
D. A comet without a tail.
9. If you want to see Comet 45P, you will need to .
A. wait around 7:44 p.m. ET
B. stay up until 9:53 p.m. ET
C. wake up before 3:00 a.m. ET
D. start watching at 5:34 p.m. ET
10. The author writes the text with the purpose of .
A. introducing basic astronomy to the media
B sharing new discoveries with astronomy researchers
C promoting astronomical events among science scents
D informing average readers of recent celestial phenomena
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

C. Suggestions of fun scientific exhibitions for the coming weekend
D. Eclipse, full moon, comet team up to put on a show on Friday night

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is the culmination (髙潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, father than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 4, 2018, will follow the 2017 regular season.

The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called “Super Bowl Sunday”. It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.
Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pre-game and halftime ceremonies.

People who have spent time in other cultures often talk about “reverse (逆向的)culture shock”. If you leave your country for more than a short tourist trip and then go back home, you may feel 41. What is “reverse culture shock”？Well，imagine the following: You have just adjusted to a new culture and have come 42 (enjoy) life in it. You have made new friends and have had 43 great variety of new experiences. Then, 44 (sad) enough, it?s time to leave, but you are also very excited about 45(go) home. Arriving home is wonderful —seeing all the friends and relatives you haven?t seen, eating all the special foods, reading the newspapers 46 hearing music yo u haven?t heard in such a long time. But then after a few weeks, perhaps, things may not seem so “wonderful”. You may become critical of your home country 47 you have grown up. You may not like certain things or ideas. 48 your eyes, either you or your home country 49 (change).
This is the process of readjustment. It?s a difficult period, and many people experience it after the 50 (excite) of coming home has worn off. Fortunately, it doesn?t usually last as long as adjustment to a

Last winter vacation, my parents and I went back to our hometown, where I spend my childhood. Walking slow in the quiet small town reminded me of the good old day.

Dear Martin,
How nice to hear from you! Now let me tell you about the optional course I have taken this semester.
The course “English Movie Appreciation” is given by our foreign teacher，Mr. Smith. We have the lesson every Friday afternoon from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. In the class, we watch some famous English movies, and then have a discussion and exchange our opinions. What attracts me most is that we even dub or role-play part of the movie. I have benefited a lot from this course. Not only have I improved my English，but also I have had a better understanding of English movies. All the students think highly of the course and I really enjoy it.
Best wishes!

云南省2017届高三下学期第一次统测英语试题 第Ⅰ卷 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A My doorbell rings at 11 a.m.On the step,I find an elderly Chinese lady,She is small and slight.She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands. I know this lady.It is by no means her first visit.Her daughter,Nicole,bought the house next door last October. Nicole,who is currently in Shanghai,has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly,and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals. I know what is inside the paper carrier bag-a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice,vegetables and either chicken,meat or shrimp.This has become an almost-daily occurrence. Communication between my benefactor（恩人）and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is "hello".Once,she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen,which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right. "Your mother just can't be bringing me meals like this all the time,"I protested.“I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land,like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her,”I said. "Oh,no,"Nicole said."Don't worry about that.She has to cook for the family anyway,and she wants to do it for you.You can call her Wing,which is her surname." The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well,so with her help,I have found out that Wing is 68-13 years younger than I am-and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution.For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain. So here we are,two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised,neither of us able to speak the other’s language.But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag,handed smilingly to me by Wing. Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words-it's the least I can do after such a display of kindness. "Thank you"is,of course,the first one,which somehow seems inadequate.

Brain implant lets man with paralysis move and feel with his hand. A brain implant has restored movement and a sense of touch in the hand of a man with a severe spinal cord injury.Patrick Ganzer at Battelle Memorial Institute in the US and his colleagues have developed a brain-computer interface(BCI)that(21)______(allow)28-year-old Ian Burkhart to grasp and feel objects again. Burkhart has a severe upper spinal cord injury and has complete paralysis in his hands and legs,(22)______ can move his elbows and shoulders.He had a brain implant inserted in2014as part of research aiming to restore movement in(23)______right arm. The BCI uses the implant(24)______(record)brain activity that is sent to a processor that decodes these signals into movements,which in turn feed in to bands around the forearm which electrically activate his hand muscles. “We’ve made a lot of progress in the last six years:he can play[the video game]Guitar Hero,swipe a credit card and do about20different hand grips,”says Ganzer. But because Burkhart had no sensation in his hands,he previously had no sense of touch or pressure when(25) ______(grasp)objects,and if blindfolded,was not able to detect small objects such as a pencil. The researchers discovered that(26)______Burkhart’s hand cannot feel anything,the brain implant stills registers a faint sensory signal when he touches an object. They boosted this signal by incorporating a band around the bicep which vibrates when Burkhart’s hand receives sensory information. As a result,Burkhart is able to detect objects by touch alone.The BCI is also able to detect different levels of touch and adjust the strength of Burkhart’s hand movements depending on the object–a light grasp,for example, for a paper cup. The researchers believe it is the first BCI(27)______can simultaneously restore movement and touch.When the brain implant was inserted,it(28)______(intend)solely for controlling movement,but the(29)______(add) touch is possible because there is some overlap(30)______the sensory and motor areas in Burkhart’s brain,says Ganzer.
