I was 10 that year. One cold spring night after I sold my last copy of newspaper at
10:20, I hurried across the street to the flower shop just as Mr. Rocco was locking the
door. “Please Mr. Rocco,” I begged, “Will you open up? I just have to have a flower.
Mother’s Day is tomorrow. I want the most beautiful flower you have. I have a quarter
and a dime!”
Mr. Rocco stood there for the longest time, looking at me and rubbing his
chin.Finally he nodded, and showed me a plant on the counter. “I can give you this for
35 cents. “But it looks like a weed!”“Now trust me, boy -- I promise that tomorrow
morning you will find your most beautiful flower.Now put this paper bag over it and
don’t get your plant chilled（冻坏）.” He cautioned．
I ran home.Mom was sick with tuberculosis （ 肺 结 核 ） and using the front
bedroom．She seemed to be asleep, so I quietly tiptoed （蹑手蹑脚） in and set the
plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on
Mother’s day.
The next morning when I looked into Mom’s room, she waved for me to come in
and then glanced over the table where the plant was.Wow! There was a big yellow
trumpet-shaped（喇叭状）flower. It was the most beautiful flower I ever saw! When I
looked at Mom, she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks．She held out her
hand for me to come near, then pulled me close and hugged till it hurt. Then,
remembering her contagious condition and that she wasn’t supposed to touch me, she
quickly let go.
My dear mom died the next night, but the plant has been in blossom all along in
my heart. That moment she hugged me turned out to be the most wonderful moment of 佛山一中 2020 届高三英语 10 月份月考试题第 3 页共 10 页
my life. Not only had that beautiful plant helped show just how much I loved her, but
I’d always know how much she loved me．
4. When Mr. Rocco stood there for the longest time, he might be wondering ______.
A. whether the plant could come into flower at all

B. He didn’t want Mom to find his coming back so late.
C. He only earned a quarter and a dime that day.
D. He was ashamed the plant had no flowers on it.

It sounds almost too good to be true, but a new study on sleeping brains suggests
that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them.
For the study, researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations
to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep, a stage when a person has little consciousness of
their environment. To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language
words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives,
researchers made up totally non-existent foreign words.
When the subjects woke up, they were presented with the made-up words again
without their translations. The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this
made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger than a shoebox. This
vague (模糊的) way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is
supposed to tap into the unconscious memory.
Unbelievably, the subjects were able to correctly classify the word in this way at an
accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance. That’s not a rate high
enough to have them suddenly communication in a foreign tongue, but it is enough to
suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level, even during sleep.
Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory, but previously its
role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of
memories acquired during wakefulness. This is the first time that memory formation has
been shown to be active during sleep.
In other words, our brains are listening to the world, and learning about it, even
when our conscious selves are not present. 佛山一中 2020 届高三英语 10 月份月考试题第 4 页共 10 页
The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be learned
quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep. If so, it could
forever change how we train our brains to learn new things. Sleep learning might
become a widespread practice.
8. Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study？
A.To guarantee the accuracy of the test result．
B.To increase the difficulty of testing information．
C.To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment．
D.To test if our brains are good at learning something new．
9. What were the subjects asked to do in the study？
A.Classify what they heard by size．
B.Make up a word to represent “large” or “small”．
C.Repeat the words they heard in the sleep．
D.Imagine the meanings of the make-up words．
10. What conclusion did researchers draw from this study？
A.Sleep is necessary for a good memory.
B.Memory formation goes on during sleep．
C.Listening during sleep is good for our brains．
D.Learning languages in sleep has better effects．
11. What will be the researcher’s next plan？
A.To train people to learn during sleep.
B.To prove the existence of unconscious memory.
C.To dig out the reason for unconscious learning.
D.To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning.

On Delancy Street in Lower Manhattan,an exciting new project is being developed
in a Williamsburg Bridge trolley station.Designed by James Ramsey,owner of Raad
Studio,and Dan Barasch,the project will transform the abandoned space into a
new,futuristic city landmark -- the Lowline．
Ramsey planned to use solar technology in the site,creating an environment where
plant life could grow underground．Joined to the JMZ Essex subway stop,the park will
not only be an entertaining attraction,it will also become a part of passengers’
lives．Much like the High Line built in Manhattan on an elevated（高出地面的）
section of abandoned New York Central Railroad in the Lower West Side,the park will
combine the natural elements of the park with industrial aspects already available in the
city．
The solar collecting system in the Lowline will catch sunlight above ground ，
transfer it underground and distribute it around the park via reflective domes （ 穹
顶）．The light enables plants and trees to grow．During periods of sunlight，electricity
would not be necessary to light the space. In 2012,the Lowline team exhibited this 佛山一中 2020 届高三英语 10 月份月考试题第 5 页共 10 页
technology in an abandoned warehouse in the Lower East Side,available for the public
and press to view so that proof of its ability could be confirmed．Since then,many city
officials have shown their support of the concept and several programs have been
conducted to involve youth and young designers into the park’s creation．
Though the negotiations of the park creation have not been completed and it will
likely not be available for citizens to enjoy until around 2020,the inventive idea will
bring a dynamic new attraction to the city.It will not only create a new escape from the
industrial noise,but also introduce the concept of parks and plant growth being made
possible in the most unlikely places.
12. What is the similarity between the High Line and the Lowline？
A.Offering convenience only for passengers．
B.Planting the same types of plant life．
C.Making full advantage of solar technology．
D.Turning industrial wasteland into green space．
13. Which is true of the future Lowline？
A.It’s an exciting trolley station．
B.It’s a long﹣term open exhibition．
C.It’s a solar﹣powered underground park．
D.It’s a city landmark above the ground．
14. Why did the Lowline team hold the exhibition？
A.To conduct some programs．
B.To prove the technology works．
C.To win support from volunteers．
D.To show the warehouse is useful．
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the concept of the Lowline？
A.Optimistic. B.Unconcerned. C.Opposed. D.Doubtful.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有
两项为多余选项。
The teenage years can be tough, and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then.
But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them,
you may be suffering from depression.16
Try not to isolate yourself.
When you’re depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything.
Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating yourself only makes
depression worse.17 Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy.
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a
“runners high”? Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so
get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! 18 佛山一中 2020 届高三英语 10 月份月考试题第 6 页共 10 页
As for food, make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and
whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs.
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and
get a “mood boost,” even if just for a short time. However, substance use can not only
make depression worse, but can cause you to become more depressed. 19 You will
need special treatment for your substance problem.
20
Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem
overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your
parents about, see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents
and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you’re dealing with friendship, or family
problems, talk to an adult you trust.
A. Turn to your parents for help.
B. Ask for help if you are stressed.
C. Even a short walk can be beneficial.
D. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be.
E. Help is available and you have more power than you think.
F. As you get out into the world, you may find yourself feeling better.
G. In short, drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse--not better--in the long
run.

If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and
identify( 识 别 ) those of 41 (great) and less importance. Then, handle the most
important tasks first so you’ll feel 42 real sense of achievement. Leaving the less

do they prevent us from falling into ill, but also they help them lose weight. I used to
hate vegetables, and following the doctor’s advice, I gradually kick the bad habit. Just
as an old saying going, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” However, there are still

We are really excited and looking forward to the activity. I would appreciate it if
