But I forgot the maps and here we were, late afternoon, last day of holiday, my daughter, my cousin and I, driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon. No other car in sight, and the sun had just gone down. Where was that sweet little village?It was supposed to be right along this river. We drove on, farther into the unknown river always at left as our guide. We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out. In my head, I was doing a lot of self-criticism: Why didn’t we start earlier, bring the map and so on? My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed. My daughter, at least, was happy in the back seat, texting a friend. I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.Just the — Wow! Amazing! A new scene appeared. Where did it come from?Right there, out of nowhere: a magical misty landscape. Fields stretched in silent purple, with rows of tall trees, darkening in the dusk. I turned the car engine off. All was silent in the hot summer air. Beside us, a plum-covered river hardly moved between a border of trees, its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.How breathtaking! Where had it been? If I had seen even a bit of beauty while driving along, I could have stopped and taken a look. I had missed it all.We miss a lot, almost everything, in fact, in our world. Our task-focused filters (过滤器)takes care of that, selecting only what we need. We need to get to work. Have some lunch. We see what we need to see, often for purposes of survival. Gregory Bateson, speaking of beauty, said the judgment is selection of a fact. In our daily lives, who or what is doing the selecting? Can we make a change? Can we see further?1. Where might the author be heading for?A．A tourist attraction. B．A destination of his holiday.C．Her own home. D．Her cousin farm.2. What made the author keep blaming himself in the beginning?A．That the holiday is unexpectedly tiring and boring.B．That she hadn’t been well prepared got her cousin annoyed.C．That lack of full preparation made her lose her way.D．That there was no familiar river in sight.3. The author felt really amazed because________.A．she discovered a tourist spot unknown to othersB．she finally reached what she had intendedC．the right route to her destination was closeD．her carelessness brought an unexpected pleasure4. What does the story intend to tell us?A．Slow down your pace and enjoy the beauty in life.B．Stay calm even if trapped in trouble.C．Keep positive because everything has a way out.D．Adjust your plan for the purpose of pleasure.3. The idea of biting into your burger made from insects or mixing some mealworms into your fried rice may take a little getting used to. But even if the thought of eating insects turns your stomach now, insects could and should form an important part of our diet.In the west, people have been eating insects for thousands of years and in Asia, South America and Africa, around 2,000 insect species are eaten. Yet in Europe, just 10% of people would be willing to replace meat with insects, according to a survey by the European Consumer Organization. To some, this unwillingness to eat insects is a missed opportunity.“Insects are a really important missing piece of the food system,” says Peter Alexander, a senior researcher in food security at the University of Edinburgh. “They are undoubtedly a superfood, a whole lot of nutrition in a really small package. ” Because of this, farmed insects could help deal with two of the world’s biggest problems at once: food insecurity and climate change.Agriculture is the biggest contributor to global biodiversity loss and a driver to greenhouse gas emissions. Raising animals accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Insect farming uses a small part of the land, energy and water required for traditional farming, and has a significantly lower carbon footprint.Then there’s the fact that insects are 12 to 25 times more efficient at changing their food into protein than animals. They need six times less feed than cattle, four times less than sheep and two times less than pigs. One of the main reasons is that insects are cold-blooded and therefore waste less energy keeping their body heat.As well as saving energy, insects can live off food that would otherwise be thrown away, contributing to the recycling industry. Insects can be fed agricultural waste. To complete the recycling chain, their excrement can be used to make crops grow fast and large and improve soil.“At the end of the day, you might have the healthiest, and most sustainable product, but unless it tastes nice so that people are willing to accept it, it may be a lot more difficult to get that across,” says Peter.1. Farmed insects could benefit us in _______.A．Enriching our dishes. B．Improving global biodiversity.C．Fighting global warming. D．Affecting traditional farming.2. Why can insects produce more protein?A．They feed on food with high protein. B．They consume less food.C．They break down food well. D．Their bodies need less energy to function.3. What does the underlined word “excrement” mean in Paragraph 6?A．Waste. B．Food. C．Blood. D．Protein.4. Which of the following is the suitable title for the test?A．A Solution to the World Global Warming. B．What to Do to Solve the Food Shortage .C．Why We Should Quit Animal Raising. D．An Ignored Protein-Rich Superfood.4. Why do only famous people have biographies (传记)? This is the question two young sisters, 7-year-old Aishvarya, and 11-year-old Vaishali, asked their parents. They were reading famous people’s biographies in school and realized that they knew more about Beyonce, a f amous singer than about their own grandparents. So they decided to do something about it.They created “Grand Stories”, a workbook that helps grandchildren learn about their grandparents. Through answering a list of guided questions and telling stories, Grand Stories helps families learn more about each other.This family came from India to the US, and all four grandparents live very far away. Obviously through modern technology and some family visits, these young girls know their grandparents and love them very much—but they wonder why they don’t know more about their grandparents. For example, where did they grow up, and go to school? How they married and raised their families? What were their stories? Perhaps not surprisingly, many of the stories the family wanted to know reflect the “Do you know” questions that my workmate, Marshall Duke, and I developed to study how much people know of the family history.The sisters’ father told about the visit to India when the girls asked their own grandparents to write their biography. Because of his character, the grandfather didn’t share much during the interview. But then he stayed up all nights writing his stories, and when the father looked through the stories, he realized there was so much he’d never known ab out his own father! Through these stories the father felt closer to his own family.What these two young sisters have already discovered is how much we depend on knowing our family stories to understand who we are in the world and what our strength is. You can see moreabout Grand Stories at www. . Whether you’re 7 or 70, it’s never too early or too late to start sharing family stories.1. What made the two girls decide to know their family stories?A．Telling stories at school.B．Reading biographies at school.C．Showing their love for a singer.D．Being asked to create a workbook.2. What does the underlined word “developed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．designed. B．proved. C．described. D．imagined.3. Which of the following words can best describe the girls’ grandfather?A．Strict. B．Impatient. C．shy. D．Careless.4. What is the purpose of the text?A．To prove the power of family storytelling.B．To introduce ways of telling interesting family stories.C．To tell people about the two girls’ family.D．To encourage people to know their family stories.5. Every day is a gift, and if you look forward to enjoying each day, then you need to learn to make the most of your day. 1Have a great morning routine (常规). A good start will make you feel good and is sure to make the rest of your day good as well. Rise early and get ready for your new day. 2 Listen to good music. Have a wonderful breakfast. All these will help you start your day in a positive way.Make time for short breaks. Since we spend most of our day in the workplace, it is necessary to relax between different tasks. Set a timer on your phone or computer to remind you it's time to get up, leave your desk, go out and get some fresh air.3 Doing the same things every day is very boring. To prevent this, step out and take some time to do things that you have never done before. This will not only make a day exciting, but it’ll also build your confidence.Ask someone to be your accountability partner (责任同伴). 4 This person encourages you, supports you and loves you. He or she will help you get over difficulties and achieve your goals.Plan your schedule for the next day the night before. Make a list of all the tasks you want to complete the next day. 5 Focus on one thing at a time and give it your best try before moving on to the next day.6. Spreading Kindness, Rock by Rock“Mom!

However, it seems only 159,998 residents listened. The other two, Naoto Matsumura and Sakae Kato, remained. Evidently, the city possessed not one, but two men whose love of animals cracked through their inborn sense of self-preservation.Living within the 12.5-mile exclusion zone (禁区) around the damaged reactor, the two men, unrelated to one another, both live alone while taking care of dozens of animals that were left behind when the evacuation (撤离) order was given.57-year-old Kato has 41 cats in his home in the mountains along with a dog. Kato says he will stay with his cats and ensure they are comfortable all through their lives. Kato's generosity isn't restricted to his own animals, and he feeds local wild animals as well.Matsumura left the city at first, but returned shortly after for his own animals. Once returned, the now 55-year-old realized that everyone else's pets and livestock were still there, so he began taking care of a broad community of animals including pigs, cats, dogs and cows. After it became clear no one was coming back to the neighborhood, he went around unchaining dogs from trees, letting cows out of their barns, and feeding anything that needed it, earning him the moniker the “Guardian of Fukushima’s Animals”.According to scientists from JAXA, the Japanese national space agency, Matsumura is also the “champion”— the most irradiated man in the country. Despite this, they've advised him it will likely be 30-40 years before radiation begins to wreck his biology, a timeline which will see him “likely dead by then”.Everything both Kato and Matsumura are doing is technically illegal, and police have orderedthem both to leave the area. Yet they seemingly couldn’t be less bothered by the government’s demands, and both plan to stay there with their animals come what may.4．What made the two men decide to live in the exclusion zone?A．The possession left in the city.B．Being left behind by other residents.C．Their love for animals from inner heart.D．Their inborn sense of self-preservation.5．Which of the following words best describes Matsumura?A．Kind-hearted.B．Strong-minded.C．Generous.D．Optimistic. 6．What does the underlined word “wreck” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Save.B．Damage.C．Remove.D．Scan. 7．What will happen to the two men next?A．They will leave the exclusion zone.B．They will be arrested by the police.C．They will obey the government’s demands.D．They will remain there to take care of the animals.Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD．The bronze-made remains of tress unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist (考古学家) stressing that “the representations of tress in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar”.The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.While the lime span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, thefindings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says.One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register.Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos.8．What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization?A．Their starting time.B．Their historical origins.C．Their cultural symbols.D．Their ceremony traditions.9．The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that ______.A．silk was a common clothing material thenB．some technologies were developed much earlierC．the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumedD．the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact10．What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins?A．Damp weather.B．Positioning of ruins.C．High latitude.D．Language barriers.11．What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph?A．The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.B．The benefits of speaking a different language.C．The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.D．The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.Two years ago, enormous fires swept through some 46 million acres of forest in Russia, the country’s worst fire season on record. Now, researchers have a clearer sense of just how significant the 2021 boreal (北方的) forest fires were in terms of emissions. The fires produced more planet-heating carbon dioxide than any other extreme fire event that has occurred since the turn of the 21st century, according to a study.Boreal forests grow where it is very cold. The trees that live in this type of forest grow slowly and seal (封存) carbon in their trunks and roots for hundreds of years, including a collection of trapped emissions that researchers call a carbon sink. But rising temperatures and related drought in these historically cool regions have led to an increase in extreme wildfire activity and threaten to release the carbon stored in the trees that grow there, transforming a carbon sink into a carbon source.In all, fires in boreal forests released the carbon sink and produced nearly half a billion tons of carbon in 2021. That’s more carbon than the entire continent of Australia produced the same year, though some of the emissions produced by the fires will be reabsorbed as forests regrow.The researchers got the data for their study by tracking concentrations of emissions in the atmosphere using satellites, and then they put that information into a computer model to determine where, geographically, those emissions came from. They found that boreal forests, which typically produce about 10 percent of the globe’s annual wildfire emissions, accounted for 23 percent of the world’s wildfire emissions in 2021—more than twice as much as normal.Canadell, who led the study, is most concerned about the study’s main point;Boreal forests have served an important and underappreciated role in preventing carbon emissions, but climate change threatens to release that carbon. “We need to be very careful with these systems in terms of their future development,” he said.12．What is the function of paragraph 2?A．To explain the source of carbon.B．To illustrate two scientific concepts. C．To indicate the seriousness of the fire.D．To show the importance of boreal forests. 13．How did the scientists get needed data?A．By making use of technology.B．By searching on the website.C．By analyzing previous data.D．By turning to the firefighters. 14．What is Canadell’s attitude to the future development of climate change and carbon emissions?A．Pessimistic.B．Optimistic.C．Indifferent.D．Cautious. 15．What is mainly talked about in the text?A．The reasons for the forest fires in the north.B．The impact of the 2021 boreal forest fires.C．The link between fires and carbon dioxide.D．The increasingly growing carbon emissions.二、七选五is also a great way to learn English? We thought we’d take some time out to explore exactly how beneficial music is to your language development skills. Below is a list of all the ways that listening to music can improve your English skills.Strengthen your vocabulary and listening skills.When listening to a song, you’ll pick up new words that you haven’t heard before.____17____ Those songs are full of new vocabulary and phrases that are difficult to forget. For example, listening to a song like “Friday, I’m in Love” by the Cure is a great way to memorize the days of the week! This exercise will also develop your listening skills. Music can help your brain be more receptive to hearing English.Perfect your pronunciation. Once you have learned the lyrics, you can practice your pronunciation and explore different accents. ____18____ Singing will help you to learn the correct pronunciation of the words and will also help you remind easily the new vocabulary you have learned.Catch obvious grammar mistakes. If you have a good eye for mistakes, you can find many grammar “exceptions” songwriters usually use. Sometimes singers need to adapt the lyrics to the rhythm of the song. Therefore, they take some creative liberties and use grammatical mistakes on purpose. It’s not funny when you catch them. ____19____ ____20____ Music can also increase your cultural understanding. Many songs talk about great stories and can teach you a lot about love, life, tradition, history, philosophy, literature,and more. You can find lots of great examples of a storytelling song on the Internet. A．Discover more about English culture.B．Remembering the lyrics is very helpful.C．We enjoy music because it makes us feel great.D．Those accents depend on the areas the singers come from.E．Write some storytelling songs to improve your English skills.F．Listening to a new song per week can help you learn 52 songs a year.G．It’s very helpful to find these mistakes as a way to practice your English.三、完形填空There have been countless books on living with teenagers, yet parents don’t seem tomight be difficult to accept, but a new approach to dealing with difficult teenagers is for parents to look at their own ____22____.“The key to getting teenagers to respect you is to respect them first,” says Penny Palmano, who has written a best-selling book on teenagers. “You can’t ____23____ to treat them the same way that you have been treating them for the previous years. Imagine if you’d spent two hours getting ready to go out for the evening and someone said, ‘You’re not going out looking like that, are you?’ You’d be very ____24____. You’d never say that to an adult, because it shows a total ____25____ of respect.” Palmano has even allowed her girl to hold several teenage parties at her home. “I’ve found that if you have brought your kids up to do the right thing, and then ____26____ them to do it, usually they’ll behave well,” she says, “I make them sandwiches and leave them alone. But I make it clear that they have to clear up any mess. I’ve never had a(n) ____27____; in fact, the kitchen was sometimes cleaner than I’d left it.”She agrees that teenagers can be annoying, enjoying a world free of responsibility, yet ____28____ for independence. She doesn’t think, however, that they are ____29____ to annoy you. Until recently, it turns out that the region of the brain that controls judgement and emotions is not fully _____30_____until the early twenties. “This would explain why many teenagers can’t make good decisions or control their emotions. _____31_____, they may find it difficult to make the right decision between watching television and finishing theirhomework. It means that they do not _____32_____ do the wrong thing just to annoy their parents,” says Palmano.The key to _____33_____ for all is calm communication and compromise (妥协). If you want your teenagers to be home by 11 pm, explain why, but listen to their arguments as well. If it’s Saturday, you might _____34_____agreeing to midnight. If they are up to 20 minutes late, don’t react angrily. _____35_____, ask if they’ve had a problem with public transport and let it pass.21．A．questioned B．discovered C．discussed D．taught 22．A．behavior B．responsibility C．issue D．determination 23．A．continue B．stop C．strive D．hesitate 24．A．curious B．ashamed C．upset D．unwise 25．A．mark B．feeling C．lack D．level 26．A．instruct B．require C．forbid D．trust 27．A．solution B．problem C．opinion D．voice 28．A．essential B．grateful C．eager D．famous 29．A．affording B．failing C．promising D．trying 30．A．occupied B．mature C．valued D．fruitful 31．A．In addition B．By contrast C．Such as D．For example 32．A．occasionally B．intentionally C．universally D．significantly 33．A．happiness B．justice C．restriction D．courage 34．A．consider B．forget C．encourage D．forbid 35．A．Therefore B．Otherwise C．Furthermore D．Instead四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

the writer.But 25everyone knows him.Some people like to 26 letters like this.I may be able toget much money 27 the letter if I sell it to the right man.”“But there were a lot of dirty 28 all over the letter.”“It doesn’t look 29 ,”he thought.“No one wants to buy a letter if it's30 .I'll have to clean it first.”So he got a piece of cloth and some 31 and cleaned the letter.He worked hard and 32 a lot of care.At last the letter looked new,and he was very 33 his work.“Now it looks very nice,”he said to himself.“I'll be able to 34 it fora lot of money.”He took the letter to a 35 in London where old papers of this kind were 36 and sold.“I want to sell this letter,”Grant said to the man in the shop.“It was written by a well-known writer.You 37 about these things.How much will you give me for it?”The man looked at 38 for a long time.“I'll give you two pounds for it,”he said at last.“Only two pounds!”said Grant.“But people pay lots of pounds of a letter like this.And just look!I've 39 cleaned it to make it look nice.”“I can see that,”said the man.“That's 40 .People who buy old papers likethem to be.”三、阅读理解(每小题2分，共40分)AMy wealthy uncle was dying.He wanted to leave me his fortune,which was about half a million dollars.There was,one condition:I must be married before he died.If not,I wouldn't receive a cent.I was not a greedy man,but I thought half a million dollars was a rather high price for keeping my freedom.I decided to make the great sacrifice.It was easier said than done.The doctor was certain my uncle would be dead within a fortnight.That put me in a difficult position.You see,besides being forty years old.I was also ugly.I had no lady friends,I couldn't possibly advertise myself as wealthy until after my marriage.Advertise!What a good idea!I ran an advertisement in one of the popular Sunday newspapers.To my surprise and joy,I received over a thousand replies.I spent hours opening the letters.My heart sank.I couldn't possibly read all the letters,still less interview their authors.Time was running out.In despair,I burnt all the letters.No choice was better than a bad choice.In this dejected state of mind,I went to see a good friend.He was the waiter in a restaurant.I told him my problem.“If you are really serious,”he said,“I can recommend my sister.She's an excellent cook and a goodhousekeeper.She is all alone now.”“But is she

looking girlB.he owed the man some moneyC.he wanted her to learn howD.she would be a good wifeBAll over the world people enjoy sports.Sports help to keep people healthy,happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season.People play different games in winter and summer.Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday act ivities.The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life;they use them in their sports,too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them.Football,for example,has spread around the world,Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back thousands of years,like running or jumping.Chinese boxing for example,has a very long history.But basketball and volleyball are rather new.Neither one is a hundred years old yet.People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other,but after a game they often become good friends.Sports help to train a person’s character.One learns to fight hardbut fight fair,to win without pride and to lose with grace.46.According to this passsage we know that ________.A.people began to play basketball and volleyball about one hundred years agoB.about one hundred years ago people ran or jumped when they playedC.basketball has a longer history

doB.sports and games should be treated only as amusemenC.sports and games are only useful to the oldD.none of the above is trueCThere is an English saying:“Laughter is best medicine.”Until rece ntly,few people took the saying seriously.Now however,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart,blood pressure,breathing and muscles.It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise.It increases blood pressure,the heart beating and breathing;it also works several groups of muscles in the face,the stomach,and even the feet.If laughter exercises the body,it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes.The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups whichlistened to a funny programme.The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries,some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics,in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to chose caused by laughter.51.Doctors have proved the following EXCEPT that________.A.smiling does good to healthughter can be toleratedC.there is a way to reduce painughter can work the muscles in the feet52.The main idea of the passage is_________.ughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human bodyB.smile can produce the same effects as laughterC.pain can be reduced by laughterughter is the best medicine53.The students who______ tolerated the pain for the longest time.A.listened to different radio programmesB.could produce a kind of chemicalC.don't have stress of painD.listened to a funny programme54.The underlined word“diminish”is simil ar to ______.A.testB.stopC.reduceD.increase55.Doctors hold laughter clinics________.A.to give better condition to their patientsB.in order to improve patients' healthC.to make patients smileD.to prove smile and laughgter have the same effectDThe world is not only hungry,it is thirsty for water.This may seem strange to you,since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water.But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water,or salt water.Man can only drink and use the other 3%—the fresh water that comes from rivers ,lakes,underground,and other sources.And we cann't even use all of that,because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers.Even worse,some of it has been polluted.However,as things stand today,this small amount of fresh water,which constantly being replaced by rainfall is still enough for us.But our need for water is increasing rapidly almost every day.Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on.A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry.Let megive you just one small example of how necessary water is to industry.Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel,it takes about 91,000 litres of water?We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water.One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this field,but only on small scale.The systems that have been worked out are similar to those used in spacecraft.56.“The world...is also thirsty for water.”This means that_________.A.the world has not enough fresh water to meet our future needsB.people all over the world are thirsty for water nowC.we are now facing a serious problem of worldwide water shortageD.we cannot make use of all the fresh water on earth57.According to the passage,only about________

江苏省泰州中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Valerie L. Thomas is an African American scientist and inventor best known for her patented (专利的) illusion transmitter (幻觉发射器) and contributions to NASA research.Thomas was born in 1943 in Maryland. She was interested in science as a child. At the age of eight, her curiosity about how things worked inspired her to borrow a book called The Boy’s First Book of Radio and Electronics, which she took home hoping her father would help her take on some projects in it. However, he didn’t help her.She attended an all-girls high school that did not help her with hands on projects either. But this changed in college, when Thomas was admitted to Morgan State University as one of the only two women in her class to major in physics. Thomas excelled in her studies. She graduated with excellent results and accepted a position as a data analyst at NASA．In the 1970s, she managed the development of the image-processing systems for Landsat, the first satellite (人造卫星) to send images to the Earth from space. In 1980, Thomas received a patent for an illusion transmitter. The device produces optical illusion images by means of two concave mirrors (凹面镜). Unlike flat mirrors, which produce images that appear to be inside, or behind the mirror, concave mirrors create images that appear to be real, or in front of the mirror itself. This technology was later used by NASA and has since been adapted for use in surgery (外科手术) as well as the production of television and video screens.Thomas continued to work for NASA until her retirement in 1995. Over the course of her career, Thomas contributed widely to the study of space. She helped develop computer program designs that supported research on Halley’s Comet, the ozone layer, and satellite technology. For her achievements, Thomas received a number of NASA awards including the Goddard Space Flight Center Award of Merit and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal. 1．What do we know about Thomas’ early life?A．She was talented in science.B．She liked working with her father.C．She lacked support for her interest.D．She preferred to read boys’ books.2．What does the underlined phrase “excelled in” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Did well in.B．Had confidence in.C．Was curious about.D．Was concerned with.3．What is the advantage of Thomas’ invention over flat mirrors?A．It takes pictures more clearly.B．It transmits images more quickly.C．It changes the position of the image.D．It can send images to the Earth from space.4．What does the last paragraph focus on?A．Thomas’ future plans.B．Thomas’ retirement life. C．Thomas’ research theory.D．Thomas’ lifetime achievements.A study of almost 2,700 children aged between seven and ten in 38 schools in Barceiona, Spain, first researches the impact of traffic noise on child cognitive (认知的) development over time.The children in the study are in a critical stage for the development of memory and attention skill, which are essential to learning. The research found that children exposed to about three times more traffic in the street than other children had memory development that was 23% slower and attention ability development 5% slower over a year.Noise is the second most damaging environmental factor to health, after air pollution, and, for example, was already known to increase heart attacks in adults. The UN said that urban noise pollution was growing into a global public health threat, leading to 12,000 early deaths a year in the EU alone and affecting many cities.But research on the impact of road noise on children was limited until now. “We do not know that noise can actually be toxic (有害的) from a physical point of view,” said Dr. Maria Foraster, from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, who led the study. “We think that we adapt to it, but research has shown that we don’t completely—we still have a physiological (生理的) response.The research revealed that peaks of noise heard inside the classroom, such as the passing of loud trucks, had more impact than a higher average level of noise. It also found higher noise levels at school were more damaging than at home.Prof. Iroise Dumontheil, at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, said, “This carefully designed study provides convincing evidence. Considering that many European children living in large cities are exposed to high road-traffic noise levels, this study has implications for public policy to reduce road-traffic noise near schools.”The research follows previous work that showed higher levels of aircraft noise at school affected reading comprehension and cognitive development. Next, the authors said, they would like to see their findings replicated (复制) in different cities and towns, where schools may bebuilt differently and windows opened more or less often.5．What can we learn from Maria Foraster’s words?A．We are troubled by nose.B．We lack confidence in her study.C．We try hard to adapt to noise.D．We aren’t fully aware of the harm of noise to humans.6．What is Iroise Dumontheil’s attitude towards the study?A．Curious.B．Favorable.C．Cautious D．Unsatisfied.7．What might the research team focus on next?A．Finding solutions to reducing noise.B．Helping students to realize the impact of noise.C．Confirming their findings in different areas.D．Studying the differences between various noises.8．What is the best title for the text?A．Policies on traffic noise should be improvedB．Traffic noise slows children’s memory developmentC．Traffic noise has a growing impact on people’s healthD．Attention should be paid to the environment around schoolsI’ve been giving lots of thought recently to the teaching of the science subject at schools. I’m wondering whether spending more time learning how we “do” science--the scientific method--is more valuable than simply making children memorize scientific “facts”.After all, science isn’t a collection of facts about the world. That’s just called“knowledge”. Rather, science is a process of thinking and making sense of the world, which will then lead to new knowledge. We’ve often heard it said that we should be teaching children not what to think but how to think. However, schools now spend so much of the science subject loading up children’s brains with “knowledge”.Surely, everyone needs a basic scientific understanding. We all need to know some science: facts about the world to help us make informed decisions about important issues that face us all in our everyday lives, from the risks of smoking to the benefits of exercising or why recycling our waste is good for the planet.Yet what seems to be missing today is an understanding of the way we gain this scientific understanding of the world. Nowadays, social media has played a significant role in spreading information. However, many people use it as a medium for spreading disinformation or harmful opinions. But social media has only enlarged the societal problem that has been with us.On top of this, our attention spans (时长) are naturally getting shorter, and we don’t take the time to question our views, or ask whether the information we are getting is reliable. This is where thinking scientifically can help. Adopting some of the ways that good science is practiced can help us to critically assess what we believe, question our own views before we attack views we don’t like, and so on. This is exactly why we should be teaching more of scientific methods in schools. This remarkable way of seeing, thinking and knowing, is one of humankind’s great riches and the birthright of everyone. And, most wonderfully, it only grows in quality and value the more widely it is shared.9．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 1?A．Students’ disinterest in the science subject.B．The teaching content of the science subject.C．The teaching topics of the science subject.D．The lack of emphasis on science in schools.10．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．The application of science in daily lives.B．The approach to knowing scientific facts.C．Some scientific phenomena in daily lives.D．The understanding of science in daily lives.11．What does the underlined part “the societal problem” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The popularity of social media.B．The spread of false information.C．The misunderstanding of science.D．The negative impact of social media.12．What can students get from learning scientific methods?A．Growing interest in science.B．Improved attention in class.C．The ability to think critically.D．The deeper understanding of science.二、七选五Everything we think about, all the emotions we feel, and even the way we act is a product of self-worth.

Get chewing: can a wellness rebrand make Americans buy gum again?When was the last time you saw someone chewing gum? 1998, maybe? 2007? Chances are, it probably wasn’t recently. Like high heels and affordable housing, chewing gum appears to be going 22Gum’s popularity has been fading globally thanks to increased competition from products like breath mints and mobile phones distracting us from impulse purchases while shopping. The pandemic, moreover, 23 ·accelerated gum’s decline.Even after people 24 from lockdown, sales didn’t recover. Gum sales worldwide in 2023 were 10% below 2018 figures. In the US, the drop has been particularly pronounced: last year 1.2 billion units of gum were sold in the US, 32% fewer than in 2018.However, chewing gum, in various forms, is one of the oldest habits there is. Stone age teenagers were chewing birch bar k tar possibly for pleasure, medicinal purposes, or to use it as a glue. Gum has also been loaded with cultural meaning and the subject of various 25 panics. Some people believe it is a marker of the bad kids or a habit of the lower class.Despite a certain amount of social stigma（污名）attached to gum, it has - until relatively recently -been a wildly successful product. That’s thanks to William Wrigley Jr, who was a marketing and advertising genius. Wrigley always 26 to find a way to make gum relevant and insert it into consumer culture. For example, Wrigley advertised the idea that chewing gum was a health aid that would help digestion and would relieve stress.This year the Wrigley brand’s owner —Mars— came out with an ad campaign it hopes will revive gum’s 27 by positioning it as an almost instant stress reliever. Linking gum with wellness worked in the 1910s, but is it going to work now? Alex Hayes at the food consultancy is 28 optimistic. “The global well ness market is estimated to be worth more than $1.5 trillion, so it’s no surprise that Mars wants a piece of the pie,” Hayes says. “We’ve seen the success of categories such as tea promoting their products via functional 29 and messaging-teas for good sleep, mental clarity, stress relief, etc. So it comes as no surprise that Mars is risking the same 30 .” But he also notes, customers are increasingly worried about processed foods and are eager to move away from artificial 31 . There’s still ongoing discussion on just how effective repositioning chewable plastic as a health supplement is going to be.三、完形填空It’s safe to say Jeremy Scott is having a lucky year. In March while working as a chauffeur, he told his boss about his plans to set up a driving business. By the end of the journey, Scott’s boss had offered to 32 his idea — a starting capital along with the gift of a £110,000 limousine (豪车) to kick start the business.Of course, there’s an element of luck to everyone’s career. Whether you’re a chief executive or an artist — your 33 won’t be based on hard work alone. For example, the place you were born 34 your education. It determines whether you learn to read, write or complete qualifications, which 35 limits your career choices.Many people believe success is down to talent and hard work, but “this is because most people underestimate the role of 36 ”, says psychologist Dr Elizabeth Nutt Williams. “We do a lot of work to prepare for our careers — education, training, taking advantage of mentoring — all of which tend to be in our control.” People don’t like to acknowledge the role of luck in their work, as it 37 this feeling of being in control, adds Williams.Everyone remembers working hard, so people are more likely to overestimate how much of their success is down to diligence than something much more 38 like luck.The reality of success (at least in terms of 39 ) is less clear cut. In the UK, studies show where you are born is likely to determine how much you earn. 2017 research found that there is a “class pay gap’’, where professional employers from 40 backgrounds are paid almost £7,000 less a year — despite having the same role, education and experience as colleagues from more privileged families. 41 , black graduates earn up to 23% less per hour than white university leavers, whereas woman in the UK earn 14% less on average than men.Socio-economic status also plays a big role in the 42 you enter. A recent study by the Debrett’s Foundation found seven in every 10 young people aged 16 — 25 use 43 to get their first job. While research has shown that less able, richer children are 35% more likely to become high earners than their brighter poorer peers.The truth is: chance and coincidences 44 our careers more than we like to think. Realizing that parts of your career are out of your control sounds 45 , but being grateful for the role of luck in your career can actually make you more fortunate.This is because when you acknowledge the role of luck in your work, you become prepared to take advantage of more fortunate moments. “Chance events occur but it is all about the individual’s 46 to see those events as possibilities and their willingness to take a risk,” says Williams.32．A．challenge B．adopt C．finance D．reject 33．A．performances B．accomplishments C．assessments D．outcomes 34．A．accounts for B．applies to C．makes up for D．depends on 35．A．in reward B．after all C．in turn D．by nature 36．A．chance B．accident C．education D．diligence 37．A．emphasizes B．overlooks C．maintains D．weakens38．A．manageable B．vital C．slippery D．minor 39．A．reputation B．income C．education D．occupation 40．A．wealthier B．poorer C．unique D．diverse 41．A．Nevertheless B．Contrarily C．Consequently D．Similarly 42．A．profession B．circle C．community D．university 43．A．certificates B．online platforms C．career fairs D．family connections 44．A．contribute to B．result from C．add to D．hold back 45．A．inspiring B．encouraging C．appealing D．discouraging 46．A．reluctance B．eagerness C．readiness D．resolution四、阅读理解When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job, and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with.To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves in an electric oven, and, after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News.“It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds.He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee.If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, Iwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen($2.8).47．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“blunder”in the second paragraph?A．mistake B．show C．mixture D．brand48．Who is not suitable to drink garlic coffee?A．A woman bearing a baby.B．A student having trouble with sleep.C．A cleaner working on a day shift.D．A young lady sick of garlic.49．Which of the following is not characteristic of garlic coffee?A．It is caffeine-free.B．Garlic powder dissolves in water.C．The burnt garlic creates bitterness.D．It is an improvement on a garlic dish.50．Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?A．venturous and greedy B．innovative and perseverantC．hardworking and cautious D．observant and helpful51．By “how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means “how they ______.”A．make sense to manufacturers B．get stuck in storesC．are compared with each other D．are piled up together52．Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A．Dreampad pillow B．Eight sleep trackerC．Smart Nora Wireless Snoring Solution D．Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System 53．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B．The Nightingale, is an economical but perfect device.C．Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D．One in three people suffer from sleep problem.One way to divide up the world is between people who like to explore new possibilities and those who stick to the tried and true. In fact, the tension between betting on a sure thing and taking a chance that something unexpected and wonderful might happen troubles human and nonhuman animals alike.Take songbirds, for example. The half-dozen finches (雀) resting at my desk feeder all summer know exactly what they'll find there: black sunflower seed, and lots of it. Meanwhile, the warblers (莺) exploring the woods nearby don't depend on this predictable food source in fine weather. As food hunters, they enjoy less exposure to predators and, as a bonus, the chance to meet the perfect mate flying from tree to tree.This "explore-exploit"trade-off (权衡) has prompted scores of lab studies, computer simulations and algorithms (算法) trying to determine which strategy brings in the greatest reward. Now a new study of human behavior in the real world, published last month in the journal Nature Communications, shows that in good times, there isn't much of a difference between pursuing novelty and sticking to the status quo (原状) When the going gets tough, however, explorers are the winners.The new study, led by Shay O'Farrell and James Sanchirico, both of the University of California, Davis, along with Orr Spiegel of Tel Aviv University, examined the routes and results of nearly 2,500 commercial fishing trips in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 2.5 years. The study focused on "bottom longline" fishing, a system where hundreds of lines are attached to a horizontal bar that is then lowered to reach the sea bed. Dr. O'Farrell explained the procedure thisway: Go to a location and put the line down. Stay for a few hours. The lines are a mile long and have a buoy (浮标) at either end. When they pull that up, they assess the catch, and then decide if they will stay or move on to a different spot.Over two years of collecting data under various climate conditions, the researchers discovered that the fishermen were fairly consistent. "The exploiters would go to a smaller set of locations over and over, and go with what they know," Dr. O'Farrell said. The explorers would constantly try a wider range; they'd sample new places.In the long run, there wasn't a huge difference in payoffs between the two groups, perhaps due to the sharing information between fishing crews, said Dr. O'Farrell. But in challenging times, the study's message was clear: "You can try new things in the face of uncertainty."54．The author takes the songbird as an example to indicate that _____.A．like birds, humans tend to be satisfied with the predictableB．some birds are used to looking for food instead of being fedC．there exist the conservative and the adventurous like humansD．birds choose different ways to look for food in different weather55．According to the third paragraph, people who mastered "explore-exploit" trade-off _____.A．will choose either to pursue novelty or keep the status quoB．are ready to risk in time of difficultyC．will be tough in good times and bad timesD．will grow to be experts in lab studies56．Which can be inferred from the new study led by Shay O'Farrell and James Sanchirico?A．The two groups react to the unexpected differently.B．The "explore-exploit" trade-off helps scientific research a lot.C．The exploiters are used to fishing based solely on their experience.D．The explorers tend to achieve more than the exploiters in the long run.57．Which of the following can be the best title for passage?A．How the Exploiter differs from the ExplorerB．How to Become a Productive FishermanC．What is "Explore-Exploit" Trade-offD．When to take risks mattersThe Maya loved cacao so much that they used the beans as currency. They also believed it is good for you — which many people still say today about cacao’s most famous byproduct, chocolate. 58 . While some have suggested that less than an ounce of dark chocolate might improve heart health, much of the research doesn’t involve eating actual chocolate but rather its components-flavanol, especially.59 . In a clinical trial of 21,000 adults, they found that the half of the group that took500mg of. cocoa flavanol supplements daily had a significantly lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who had taken a placebo (安慰剂).Flavanols may also boost insulin sensitivity, according to some studies, which might be helpful in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes (糖尿病). 60 . Those at risk of diabetes might be wise to choose a cacao-inspired supplement instead of eating chocolate — and the sugar it contains. Other research suggests that the flavanols found in cacao (also present in fruits, vegetables, and tea) could slow cognitive decline during aging, or even boost brain performance by improving blood flow to the cerebral cortex.What these findings mean for chocolate is limited, however. Participants would have had to eat multiple fat and sugar filled chocolate bars a day to source 500mg of flavanols. 61 . So understanding why certain types of chocolate are healthier than the rest is the focus of further research.A．Cacao contains hundreds of bioactive plant compounds, including flavanols, which have been associated with numerous possible health benefits.B．In 2022, Sesso and colleagues found compelling evidence for the benefits of flavanols. C．But the results aren’t conclusive.D．Spurred by chocolate’s popularity, numerous studies have explored bow the natural chemical compounds found in cocoa might be good for human health.E．All chocolates are definitely not created equal.F．But there’s still more research to be done to understand these effects.五、语法填空阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Passage 1The rise of social media has had a significant impact on the way we communicate. While it has brought people closer together, it has also led to some negative consequences. One of the most concerning issues is the spread of misinformation.Social media platforms allow users to share information quickly and easily. This can be a good thing, as it enables the rapid dissemination of important news and updates. However, it also means that false information can spread just as quickly. This is particularly problematic during times of crisis, when accurate information is crucial.Moreover, the algorithmic nature of social media platforms can exacerbate the spread of misinformation. These platforms are designed to show users content that they are likely to engage with, which often means content that aligns with their existing beliefs. This can create echo chambers, where users are only exposed to information that reinforces their own viewpoints.(34) __________, it is important for users to be critical of the information they encounter on social media. They should verify the sources of the information and consider multiple perspectives before forming their own opinions.34. A) Despite the benefits of social media, it is crucial to be cautious of misinformation.B) Social media platforms have become the primary source of news and information.C) The spread of misinformation is a natural consequence of the digital age.D) Users should rely solely on social media for their daily news and information.Passage 2Physical exercise has been shown to have numerous benefits for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve mood, and enhance cognitive function.One of the reasons for these benefits is the release of endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that produce feelings of happiness and well-being. When we exercise, our bodies produce endorphins, which can help us feel more relaxed and positive.Another factor is the effect of exercise on sleep. Regular physical activity can improve the quality of sleep, which in turn can have a positive impact on mental health. Exercise can also help regulate the sleep-wake cycle, which can be beneficial for those with sleep disorders.In addition to these physiological effects, exercise can also havesocial benefits. Participating in group sports or fitness classes can provide opportunities for social interaction and support, which can be particularly helpful for individuals who may feel isolated or lonely.(35) __________, it is clear that incorporating physical exercise into one's routine can have a significant positive impact on mental health.35. A) While exercise is not a cure-all for mental health issues, it can be a valuable tool for improvement.B) Mental health professionals recommend exercise as a primary treatment for depression and anxiety.C) The benefits of exercise on mental health have been well-documented and widely accepted.D) Exercise should be avoided at all costs by individuals with mental health concerns.五、写作（30分）Directions: Write an essay of about 150 words on the following topic:"Technology has greatly changed our lives. Do you think these changes are mostly positive or mostly negative? Give reasons for your answer."You should write your essay on Answer Sheet 2.注意：1. 本试卷分为五个部分，共150分。
