While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 24 of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no 25 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even 26 what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you 27 went for the best cups... And then you began 28 each other’s cups. ‎ Now take this into 29 : Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not 30 , nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by 31 only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.”So,it is vital for us to learn the importance of “coffee” 32 the wonderful “cups”,as it may disturb our 33 . ‎ God brews the coffee, not the cups.

As development spread across the West, the 2.2 million acres of habitat within the park became an important sanctuary for the largest concentration of wildlife in the lower 48 states.‎ ‎☆Things you can do ‎●An amazing experience awaits you here. Yellowstone is a seasonal park, so plan your visit by learning about the current conditions, operating seasons and hours, road conditions, lodging and eating options, and available activities.‎ ‎●Hike a trail:Lace up your boots, grab your bear spray, and explore nearly 1,000 miles of trails.‎ ‎●Watch wild life:Bring some binoculars or a spotting scope and enjoy animals from a safe distance.‎ ‎●Take photos:Best practices & tips for shooting in Yellowstone.‎ ‎●Bike in the park:Enjoy the scenery on two wheels.‎ ‎●Ride a horse:Bring your own stock or take a guided ride.‎ Contact the park!‎ We welcome all of you to come to Yellowstone.‎ Mailing Address:PO Box 168 Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190-0168 Phone:307-344-7381‎ 36. According to the paragraph above,what cannot you do in the park?‎ A.use scope to watch animals in a distance that will not bother animals.‎ B.experience different scenery in different seasons.‎ C.lace up your boots,and try to take photos with bears if you can.‎ D.enjoy a horse ride under guidance.‎ 37. What is the main purpose for the author to write this article?‎ A.to appeal to more tourists to Yellowstone.‎ B.to give the readers fundamental information about Yellowstone. ‎ C.to answer the government's call.‎ D.to give tourists some tips on travelling in Yellowstone. ‎ B We've all been there. You're around new people and you just want to impress them. It can be easy to pretend you know about movies, politics, or science just to get through an awkward situation. But contrary to what feels most natural, a new series of five studies from Pepperdine‎ ‎University shows that those who can admit when they don't know something tend to actually have more knowledge. If you want to make those people think you're smart, maybe the best thing to say is "I don't know."‎ For the study, which was led by Elizabeth Krumrei-Mancuso, the team of researchers had one question: Is there a knowledge benefit to admitting intellectual fallibility? To find out, they ran not one, not two, but five separate experiments. They engaged nearly 1,200 participants in their study, and evaluated them using a number of questionnaires testing their cognitive abilities, measuring their own predictions of their cognitive abilities, and, of course, rating their levels of intellectual humility.‎ For that last part, they used different methods in different studies to get a more well-rounded set of results. One IH survey used eight questions to assess participants on two elements: the "Knowing-It-All" subscale, which judged their attitudes of intellectual superiority, and the "Intellectual Openness" subscale, which assessed how open they were to learning from others. In other studies, they used the 22-question "Comprehensive Intellectual Humility Scale," which assesses participants on four elements: independence of intellect and ego, openness to revising one's viewpoint, respect for others' viewpoints, and lack of intellectual overconfidence. The five studies were used to examine past learning, thinking styles, traits, and motivations.‎ What the researchers may agree is that the best thing to remember is that curiosity seems to be a good thing. The world is big, and it's impossible to know everything. At your next dinner party, ask questions and admit your own cluelessness. It might make you a little less clueless next time.‎ 38. Why did Elizabeth Krumrei-Mancuso led the study?‎ A.to find out whether admitting that you don’t know something is beneficial. ‎ B.to find the certain benefit of admitting intellectual disability.‎ C.to compare the modest people with proud people.‎ D.to stress the importance of curiosity.‎ 39. From the article,we can learn that ▲ .‎ A.we all tend to pretend we have a good command of knowledge.‎ B.the study engaged over 1,200 participants in their study.‎ C. “I don’t know”may be a good answer to people who ask you if you are clever.‎ D.a number of questionnaires are used to test participants’ cognitive humility.‎ 40. What is the best title of the article?‎ A.Be yourself! B.Admitting your fallibility! ‎ C.Express your drawbacks! D.Let curiosity lead you!‎ C What's the deadliest animal? Trick question. Sure, the shark in Jaws is terrifying — but you're way more likely to be killed by the animals you see every day. That's according to a study published in February in the journal Wilderness & Environmental Medicine.‎ Don't Sweat the Scary Stuff The study looked at mortality data in the United States from 2008 to 2015 and compared the number of deaths caused by animals to a 2012 study that looked at the same elements in prior years. In this new study, researchers found a total of 1,610 animal-related deaths in the U.S.‎, including deaths as a result of ‎ bites, contact, attack, or envenomation (venom injection). The majority of those deaths were related to nonvenomous animals, coming out to about 2.8 deaths per million people.‎ Surprisingly, most of the fatalities they found weren't related to wild animal attacks: The largest proportion of animal deaths were caused by large mammals, especially horses and cattle. According to a press release, other studies have found that most of these deaths occur on the farm, and accidents with horses and cattle account for a whopping 90 percent of farm accidents.‎ The next largest group of animal-related fatalities were caused by a group called Hymenoptera, or hornets, wasps, and bees, accounting for just under 30 percent of the reported fatalities. According to the press release, "Africanized" honeybees, which are found most often in the southern and western U.S.‎, can be particularly lethal when they swarm.‎ The third largest group? Man's best friend: dog-related fatalities occurred at a rate of about 4.6 deaths per 10 million people. The study showed that young children are most vulnerable: The rate of children under age four killed by dogs was twice as high as the next most vulnerable age group, people older than 65, and four times as high as other age groups.‎ ‎"The most common animal-related fatalities are from large mammals, like cattle or horses, but when you're looking at attacks from wild animals only, the most common cause of death are due to venomous animals, like wasps or bees," lead investigator Dr. Jared A. Forrester told CNN in an interview about the 2012 study. "I think people have in their mind that the most dangerous animals are cougars, bears or alligators, but a bee is more dangerous if a person is sensitive to its poisoning components."‎ Protect Yourself So how can you minimize your risk? Part of it may be due to your location and age group: the 2012 study found that people in the South experienced about 47 percent of all animal-related attacks in the U.S.‎, Dr. Christopher Holstege, one of the authors, told CNN. In addition, infants and young children up to four years of age are most vulnerable, he said — especially when it comes to dog bites.‎ Researchers recommend more public health initiatives and awareness to help prevent farm fatalities. As for bees and hornets, it helps to be aware of your allergies, carry an EpiPen, and try to avoid provoking bees. As far as dogs go, your best bet is to not leave them alone with the very young or the very old.‎ But still, there isn't too much reason to worry. "In many ways, the data is pretty reassuring," Forrester told CNN. "The most common cause of death are not the scariest things, necessarily, but they are the most common interactions we have with farm animals and they are preventable."‎ 36. What’s the function of the “shark in Jaws”mentioned in paragraph one?‎ A.To attract readers’ attention and introduce the topic.‎ B.To explain to readers the danger of sharks.‎ C.To compare sharks with animals that are dangerous around our daily life.‎ D.To highlight the unnoticed danger of animals in everyday life.‎ ‎42. What’s the underlined word “venomous” mean?‎ A.small B.poisonous C.dangerous D.devil ‎43. What can we learn from the article?‎ A.Bees are the most dangerous insects you may ever encounter.‎ B.People who are allergic to bees can hardly survive if they’re not treated immediately.‎ C.There is no worry about the danger of daily animals.‎ D.People in the South experienced nearly half of animal attacks in the U.S.‎ ‎ ‎44. What may be the best title of the article?‎ A.The deadliest animal in your life.‎ B.The danger of small insects.‎ C.The ignored killers.‎ D.New risk of being killed by small animals.‎ D The count was examining the weapons,when his study door opened, and Baptistin entered,making a sign to him, and went out, closing the door after him.”Who are you, madame?”said the count to the veiled woman ① .‎ The woman cast one look around her, to be certain that they were quite alone; then bending as if she would have knelt, and joining her hands, she said with an accent of despair, "Edmond, you will not kill my son?" The count retreated a step,uttered a slight exclamation ② .‎ ‎"What name did you pronounce then, Madame de Morcerf?" said he. "Yours!" cried she, throwing back her veil,--"yours, which I alone, perhaps, have not forgotten. Edmond, it is not Madame de Morcerf who is come to you, it is Mercédès."‎ ‎"Mercédès is dead, madame," said the count; "I know no one now of that name."‎ ‎"Mercédès lives, sir, and she needs not to inquire what hand has dealt the blow which now strikes M. de Morcerf."‎ ‎"Fernand, do you mean?" replied the count, with bitter irony; "since we are recalling names, let us remember them all." the count had pronounced the name of Fernand with such an expression of hatred that Mercédès felt a thrill of horror run through every vein. "You see, Edmond, I am not mistaken, and have cause to say, 'Spare my son!'"‎ ‎"And who told you, madame, that I have any hostile intentions against your son?"‎ ‎"No one, in truth; but a mother has twofold sight. I guessed all; I followed him this evening and have seen all."‎ ‎"If you have seen all, madame, you know that the son of Fernand has publicly insulted me," said the count with awful calmness.‎ ‎"Oh, for pity's sake! my son has also guessed who you are,--he attributes his father's misfortunes to you."‎ ‎"Madame, you are mistaken, they are not misfortunes,--it is a punishment. It is not I who strike M. de Morcerf; it is providence which punishes him."The count took out a letter with his hands which proved his innocence and Fernand’s sin.‎ ‎"That is what I heard on leaving my prison fourteen years after I had entered it; and that is why, on account of the living Mercédès and my father, I have sworn to revenge myself on Fernand, and--I have revenged myself."‎ ‎"And you are sure the unhappy Fernand did that?"‎ ‎"I am satisfied, madame, that he did what I have told you; besides, that is not much more odious than that a Frenchman by adoption should pass over to the English; that a Spaniard by birth should have fought against the Spaniards; that a stipendiary of Ali should have betrayed and murdered Ali. Compared with such things, what is the letter you have just read?--a deception! Well, the French did not avenge themselves on the traitor, the Spaniards did not shoot the traitor, Ali in his tomb left the traitor unpunished; but I, betrayed, sacrificed, buried, have risen from my tomb, by the grace of God, to punish that man,and here I am." The poor woman's head and arms fell; her legs bent under her, and she fell on her knees. "Forgive, Edmond, forgive for my sake, who love you still!"‎ ‎"Not crush that accursed race?" murmured he; "abandon my purpose at the moment of its accomplishment? Impossible, madame, impossible!"‎ ‎"Edmond," said the poor mother, who tried every means, "when I call you Edmond, why do you not call me Mercédès?"‎ ‎"Mercédès!" repeated the count ③ , "Mercédès! Well yes, you are right; Mercédès, I have uttered your name with the sigh of melancholy, with the groan of sorrow, with the last effort of despair;I have uttered it, consumed with heat, rolling on the stone floor of my prison. Mercédès, I must revenge myself, for I suffered fourteen years,--fourteen years I wept, I cursed; now I tell you, Mercédès, I must revenge myself."‎ ‎"Revenge yourself, then, Edmond," cried the poor mother; "but let your vengeance fall on the culprits,--on him, on me, but not on my son!"‎ ‎"God said that the sins of the fathers shall fall upon their children to the third and fourth generation. Since God himself dictated those words to his prophet, why should I seek to make myself better than God?"‎ ‎"Edmond," continued Mercédès, with her arms extended towards the count, "since I first knew you, I have adored your name, have respected your memory.But I have thought you must be dead! What could I do for you, Edmond, besides pray and weep? Edmond, for ten years I saw every night every detail of that frightful tragedy, and for ten years I heard every night the cry which awoke me, shuddering and cold. And I, too, Edmond--oh! believe me--guilty as I was--oh, yes, I, too, have suffered much!"‎ ‎"Have you known what it is to have your father starve to death in your absence?" cried the count, ‎ ‎ ④ thrusting his hands into his hair"have you seen the woman you loved giving her hand to your rival, while you were dying?"‎ ‎"No," interrupted Mercédès, "but I have seen him whom I loved on the point of murdering my son." Mercédès uttered these words with such deep anguish, with an accent of such intense despair,‎ ‎ that the count could not restrain a sob. The lion was daunted; the avenger was conquered.‎ 45. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph two?‎ A.she was desperate to regain the count’s love.‎ B.she was anxious about her son’s safety.‎ C.she was fear that the count would kill Mr de Morcerf.‎ D.she managed to gam her courage to speak to the count who is in a cold manner. ‎ ‎46.

A 2010 meta-analysis showed that loneliness has twice as much impact on early death as obesity does, he said.‎ ‎(3) The researchers looked at dramatic differences in the rate of decline in physical and mental health as people aged. Cacioppo and his colleagues have examined the role of satisfying relationships on older people to develop their resilience ([rɪˈzɪliəns] 快速恢复的能力；适应力), the ability to feel better quickly after something unpleasant, and grow from stresses in life.‎ ‎(4) The consequences for health are dramatic, as feeling isolated or separated from others can disturb sleep, elevate blood pressure, increase morning rises in the stress hormone cortisol (['kɔ:tɪsɒl] 皮质醇), change the gene expression in immune cells, increase depression and lower overall subjective well-being, Cacioppo pointed out in a talk, " Rewarding Social Connections Promote ‎ Successful Aging."‎ ‎(5) Cacioppo, one of the nation's leading experts on loneliness, said older people can avoid the consequences of loneliness by staying in touch with former co-workers, taking part in family traditions, and sharing good times with family and friends --- all of which give older adults a chance to connect with others about whom they care and who care about them.‎ ‎(6) "Retiring to Florida to live in a warmer climate among strangers isn't necessarily a good idea if it means you are disconnected from the people who mean much to you," said Cacioppo. Population changes make understanding the role of loneliness and health all the more important，he explained. "People have to think about how to protect themselves from depression, low subjective well-being and early death. "‎ ‎(7) Although some people are happy to be alone, most people develop from social situations in which they provide mutual support and establish a strong bond. Evolution encourages people to work together to survive and accordingly most people enjoy companionship compared to be alone. ‎ ‎(8) It is not solitude (独处）or physical isolation itself, but rather the subjective sense of isolation that Cacioppo's work shows to be so destructive. Older people living alone are not necessarily lonely if they remain actively engaged in social life and enjoy the company of those around them. Some aspects of aging, such as blindness and loss of hearing, however，place people at special risk of becoming isolated and lonely, he said.‎ Passage outline Supporting details The main idea Chances are that older people will die early if they feel extremely 71____________‎ ‎72___________with loneliness ² Like disadvantaged socioeconomic status and obesity, loneliness can 73____________ old men’s premature death.‎ ² When 74____________ from others, one will find physical health impacted and tend to feel depressive and unhappy.‎ Suggestions ² Keep in touch with others and take part in 75____________ activities.‎ ² Choosing to live in a pleasant climate don’t necessarily make sense if the elder are disconnected from people who are 76____________ to them.‎ ² Think about how to 77____________ depression, low subjective well-being and early death.‎ ² Work together with others to 78____________, to gain mutual support and establish a strong bond.‎ Conclusions ² The sense of isolation, rather than solitude or physical isolation itself, isn't 79____________to elders.‎ ² Living alone doesn't mean loneliness if older people live an 80____________ social life.‎ 第五部分：写作（共1小题； 满分25 分）‎ 请阅读下列文字和图表,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ When was the last time you had fun with your parents? Your parents are all busy during working days; during the weekends, you may want to hang out with them but they may have to work extra hours.‎ This is not uncommon. In China, both of the parents have their jobs. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. A recent survey done in the US found that more than half of American parents spend less than three hours having fun with their children each week.‎ As the Daily Mail noted: Families are spending little quality time creating bonds and precious memories together during the week because of the demands of modern life.‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1. 用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容；‎ ‎2. 简要分析父母陪伴孩子的时间越来越少的原因；‎ ‎3. 结合自己的经历，谈谈父母多陪伴孩子对其孩子的影响。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎3. 不必写标题。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2019~2020学年度第二学期江苏省合作联盟调研试卷 参考答案及解析 听力：1-5 CCBBA 6-10 BCBBC 11-15 AACBA 16-20 BCBAB 单项选择 ‎1-5：ADCBA 6-10:CBADA 11-15:AABDC 完型填空 ‎16-20:BAACD ‎21-25:ACCCD ‎26-30:BABDA ‎31-35:BBCDD 全文翻译：一群事业有成的同学准备回去看望他们的大学老师，他们集合走向老师的房子。一进门他们就和 老师开始交谈，然而，很快他们开始抱怨生活和工作中的压力。 老师去厨房为客人们准备咖啡，回来时端着一大壶咖啡和各式各样的杯子，这些杯子有陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有的普通，有的昂贵，有的精致，老师让大家随意享用。等每个人都端起一杯咖啡，老师说话了：你们注意到吗：所有好看昂贵的杯子都被用了，剩下那些朴素便宜的杯子。你们都只想要最好的，这很正常，这恰恰是你们的问题和压力所在。杯子不会让咖啡的质量变得更好，很多时候，只是让它变得更贵一些，甚至，有时候，让人忽略了到底我们在喝什么。你们真正想要的其实是咖啡，不是杯子，但你们有意识地去拿那些最好的杯子，随后开始打量其他人手上的杯子。想想吧：生活好比咖啡，工作、金钱和社会地位都只是杯子，只是生活的容器，而我们拥有的杯子既无法定义、也无法改变我们生活的质量。有时，由于我们只关心杯子，我们甚至不能够好好品尝上帝赐予我们的咖啡。因此，我们要明白“咖啡”的重要而不是那些会扰乱我们视线的“杯子”。 上帝冲泡了咖啡，不是杯子。······享受你们的咖啡吧。 最快乐的人们并不是因为他们拥有最好的一切，他们只是把一切当成最好。 简单地活着。仁慈地爱着。深深地关心着。友善地说话。 其他的，就留给上帝吧。‎ 阅读理解（解析见ppt）‎ ‎36-37:CA ‎38-40:ACB ‎41-44:CBDA ‎45-50:BCCDAC 任务型阅读 71. lonely 72.

First, in contemporary society parents are facing more stress from living and work than before, so they have to spend most of their time making money. In addition, parents today are more easily distracted by various electronic products when keeping their children company.‎ ‎ Take my own experience for example. Once upon a time, I got into trouble in my studies. It was my parents’ company and comfort that had a great effect on my regaining self-confidence. Plain and peaceful as it was, this experience left an unforgettable impression on me, which is of great significance to my growth.‎ ‎ To conclude, it’s vital for parents to spend more time with their children. However busy parents are, they should afford their time to accompany their children.‎ 听力原文：‎ Text 1‎ M: Mary, why won’t you watch the 56th Annual Grammy Awards on TV?‎ W: Oh, I’m studying for a Spanish test. ‎ Test 2‎ M: Can I help you, madam?‎ W: Yes, thank you.

Here is the message I promised you. Last weekend we were taken around London in a bus. It was fantastic. I saw Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the lions in Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. I liked the Tower of London best because it is a thousand years old. They say there are lots of ghosts walking around but I didn’t see any! We also went to see all the famous people made of wax(蜡) at Madame Tussauds(杜莎夫人蜡像馆).That was good fun. Jean Louis took a photograph of me standing next to Queen Elizabeth the Second.‎ Tomorrow we’re going to Stratford on Avon where Shakespeare was born. And we’re going to see one of his plays. It’s called Hamlet. There are three theaters in Stratford and we are going to see it in the Royal Shakespeare Theater. Our teacher told us the houses in Stratford are about five hundred years old and the countryside is beautiful, so I’ll take lots of photos to show you.‎
