（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．27．（6分）Dice is CO2 in solid form，with a temperature of about -78.5℃．Unlike common ice，dry ice does n't melt into a liquid．When dry ice melts，it turns into a gas．So when you see dry ice "smoking"，it's froze n CO2 melting into its gaseous state．Dry ice is a popular matter in scientific experiments．It creates project s that look cool．Experiment：Healthy dry ice popsicles（棒冰）This dry ice experiment will catch people's eye，especially little kids' because the dry ice is going to be used to make what the young love to eat．It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy．MaterialsOne large block of dry iceA large spoonPopsicle sticksOne cup of your favorite juiceA tall glass filled with waterDirectionsUse the large spoon to make a popsicle-shaped space in a block of dry ice．You can set the ice on a piece of cloth or plastic on your table to do this work．Of course，keep in mind that it's okay if it's not exactly popsicle-shaped．Add a popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid，it will freeze around t he popsicle stick．Hold the popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your popsicle to harden．After several minute s，take away the popsicle from the block of dry ice and put it into a tall glass of water for a few seconds．D o this to

were both in great anger．"Never set foot in this house again!"father stormed．With tears welling up in my eyes，I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．The street lights were shining，causing rather sad feelings．I wandered aimlessly．A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another spac e：happy and carefree．But now …I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in ou r ways of thinking．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iro n door between us that can never be opened．I wandered the streets，without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I w alked on，there were fewer and fewer people on the streets，until I had only the street lights to keep me co mpany．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still o n．I thought to myself："Is father waiting for me，or is he still angry with me"In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．All the lights were off except father's．Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn't know how to express himself．After shouting at me，he never sho wed any mercy or any moments of regret．This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has beco me his second nature．The light was still on．"Am I wrong"I whispered，maybe…With the key in my hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door，tears ran down my cheek s．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love---it's seco nd to none．59．Which of the following can replace the underlined part in Paragraph 2？A．Shouted in relief．B．Burst into anger．C．Burst our crying．D．Jumped in sadness．60．What does the iron door between"us"actually refer to？A．Their misunderstandings．B．Their different characters．C．Their ways of thinking．D．The father's rudeness．61．In the author's eyes which of the following can be used to describe his father？A．Inconsiderate．B．Indifferent．C．Stubborn．D．Uninterested．62．What actually contributed to the opening of the iron door in the end？A．The son's giving in to his father．B．The regret undertaken by the son．C．The affection between the father and the son．D．The light that was on until late in the night．29．（8分）China used to be called the"Kingdom of Bicycles"，but since then，cars have taken over the count ry．There are too many vehicles and edestrians in the street now，so the roads are crowded nearly all the tim e，and even going a few kilometers can take up to an hour，which can explain the fact that it's very difficult t o travel across major Chinese cities．Now，new apps that help people register and find bikes are being used more and more across cities like Beiji ng．The new apps that let people share bicycles are easing，traffic，and reducing pollution．Cheng Li starte d using bike share services about six months ago．He said now he is using the car less and the bike more．Fo r Zhang Jian，the bike share revolution makes him recollect the old days．"Now，when we're riding home fro m work，especially in the evening，when it's not rushed，it feels like we're reliving the past，"Zhang said．However，there is now a lot of competition among bike share providers because of their popularity．Some pr oviders are trying to flood the streets with bikes to be more visible．Sometimes there are so many bikes tha t they completely block the sidewalks．This has become a problem for city governments．It is not uncommo n for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk．This blocks cars and people in a lready crowded cities．In Beijing's southern district of Daxing，officials have been trying to fix the problem by seizing illegally parked bikes．VOA spoke to a woman who said，"Bike sharing is really convenient，but no one is taking care of the problem of illegally parked bikes．"Behind her were several thousand seized bikes．Many people in China feel that bike shares are helping reduce the country's transportation problems and poll uted air．However，they also hope companies will do more to improve their service and avoid flooding the st reets with bikes．63．Which is the cause of traffic jams in major Chinese cities？A．Lack of parking lots．B．Lack of bike share services．C．Poor road conditions．D．The booming of cars．64．What does the underlined word"recollect"in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A．Look back．B．Back off．C．Step forward．D．Slide away．65．What does paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us about the bike shares？A．Their popularity．B．Their advantages．C．Their competition．D．Their problems．66．What do you think will be discussed about the bike shares in the following paragraph？A．They create bike revolution．B．They bring about polluted air．C．They solve the traffic problems．D They need further improving．30．（8分）Our character，basically，is made up of our habits．"Sow a thought，reap an action；sow an actio n，reap a habit；sow a habit，reap a character；sow a character，reap a destiny （命运），"as the saying goe s．Habits are powerful factors in our lives．Because they are often unconscious patterns，they constantly dail y affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness．As Horace Mann，the great educator，once said，"Habits are like a cable．We weave a rope of it every day a nd soon it cannot be broken．"I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression．I know habits ca n be learned and unlearned．But we also know it isn't a quick fix．It involves a process and a tremendous eff ort．Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men walk on the mo on and return to earth．But to get there，those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth．More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off，in the fist few miles of travel，than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles．Habits，too，have tremendous gravity pull．However，most people don't realize or admit it．Getting rid of b ad habits recall requires great willpower and some changes in our lives．Lift-off takes tremendous effort，bu t once we break out of the pull f gravity，we can enjoy unprecedente（空前的） freedom．Like any natural force，gravity pull can work with us or against s．The gravity pull of some of our habits ma y currently be keeping us from going where we want to go．But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world to gether and keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order．It is a powerful force，and if we use i t effectively，we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish effectiveness in o ur lives．67．Why did the author quote the saying in the first paragraph？A．To support the author's opinion about the habit．B．Because a great educator asked the author to do it．C．To show the author was a wise man．D．Because the author liked the old saying very much．68．Why does the author say habits have powerful effects on our lives？A．Because a habit is like a cable and useful to our life．B．Because habits can be learned and unlearned．C．Because you can reap a character by sowing a habit．D．Because habits can constantly affect our character．69．What does the writer mean by referring to gravity pull？A．Ridding bad habits needs great willpower．B．To prove that the habits can work with us or against us．C．Breaking the gravity pull means enjoying freedom．D．The gravity pull is very important in our lives．70．Which can be the best title for this passage？A．Forming a Good Character is ImportantB．The Importance of the Pull of GravityC．The Powerful Factors of HabitsD．Excellence is not an Act But a Habit．第二节（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．31．（10分）How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends．Good friendship has many benefits．It offers companionship，improves self-worth and promotes good health．There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town，or changed our jobs or schools．Such

much about the world than our p arents．Perhaps we believe their opinions and ideas were out of date．We are now standing at the top of a g reat pyramid，wait to take turns to lead society in this

重庆市第一中学校2022-2023学年高三下学期4月月考英语试题
重庆市第一中学校2022-2023学年高三下学期4月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解In 15 years, parkrun has grown from one event in London to 1,800 free, weekly, timed 5km runs around the world. Here are our favorites…BUSHY PARK, RICHMOND, LONDONBefore 2004, no one had heard of parkrun. But thanks to Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE, on 2 October that year, the royal park held its first free run event. Starting with just 13 runners on its first day, the part-grassy, part-footpath route now holds the UK’s record number of entrants for a parkrun. It’s pretty fast and flat and the scenery doesn’t disappoint either. PORTRUSH, NORTHERN IRELANDWhen we say off the beaten track, we mean it. That’s because there’s not a footpath, track or even a park in sight-just sand. Bounding down a beach may be a bit of a killer workout for your calves, but it certainly offers a unique experience, completing 5km with the backdrop of waves crashing against the shore and a mind-blowing view of Dunluce Castle and the Giants Causeway.ASHTON COURT, BRISTOL, ENGLANDIf you’re a bit of a whizz when it comes to a 5km, this might be just the challenge you’re looking for. With a 2.5 km uphill start, this will really get those legs and lungs working hard. You’ll be rewarded at the turning point with fantastic views over Bristol and the promise of a downhill stretch back to the finish. The route runs along tarmac and stone paths, making the course suitable all year round.KANGAROO ISLAND, AUSTRALIAIt’s there in the title — wildlife is buult right in. Travelling down under this year? Head to Australia’s third-largest island for a 5km adventure trail. This jaw-dropping out-and-back course follows footpaths along the coastline, so you should be able to hop to the finish line in pretty good time, as long as you don’t get distracted by the wallabies, koalas, seals and kangaroos. Just allow time to get there, as it’s a 45-minute ferry ride from the mainland port of Cape Jervis.1．Which parkrun appeals to those who look for a fast and flat course?A．BUSHY PARK, RICHMOND, LONDON.B．PORTRUSH, NORTHERN IRELAND．C．ASHTON COURT, BRISTOL, ENGLAND．D．KANGAROO ISLAND, AUSTRALIA．2．Why should you plan to arrive early for the KANGAROO ISLAND parkrun? A．Warming up exercise is required.B．The parkrun is remotely located in the mainland.C．The distance is beyond the standard 5km.D．It takes time to reach the island via boat. 3．What do these parkruns have in common?A．They are all held monthly.B．They all feature scenic routes.C．They all take place along the coastline.D．They all offer an uphill start.I first heard of what is now known as Aten-Egypt’s own Pompeii back in December 2019. I was speaking with Zahi Hawass, the famous former head of Egyptian antiquities, on the sidelines of Egypt’s World Youth Forum. I was interested to hear about the latest work in Egyptian archaeology. But from my 16 years in the Middle East, I’m always a bit tired of archaeologists who sell their site as “the most important ever” or findings that “change our understanding” of a civilization. But it was not what Dr. Hawass had discovered that interested me. At that point, his team had not yet broken ground. What interested me was the team itself. For the first time, Dr. Hawass was leading an all-Egyptian team where every role was filled by an Egyptian national.For more than a century, western archaeologists have been the ones making “discoveries” in Egypt, the Levant and Mesopotamia. Even in modern joint Arab-international digs, I would watch as foreign archaeologists almost always got the credit, while their local partners would seem less important. One major reason for this gap is institutional and financial: western archaeologists have big-name universities and funds behind them, while Egyptian and other Arab archaeologists often have to pay for their own tools.The fact that Egyptians were now setting out to uncover more about their own archaeological heritage jumped out to me as an important story to tell. Unfortunately, the pandemic prevented me from joining Dr. Hawass and his team when they started excavations in 2020. When I finally arrived at their excavation sites in November 2022, I met passionate young Egyptian specialists, who expressed the hope of one day becoming university professors to pass on their knowledge and experience to the next generation of Egyptians.What I was witnessing was more than Egyptians gaining a renewed sense of dignity and reclaiming a past that was often told by others. It was a story of the many future Atens to be discovered by the all-Egyptian teams and archaeologists being inspired by this dig. 4．What do we know about Dr. Hawass from paragraph one?A．He likes boasting about his discovery.B．He made a ground-breaking discovery in 2019.C．He is the most famous archaeologist in Egypt.D．He led a team entirely composed of Egyptians.5．Why are western archaeologists mentioned in the second paragraph?A．To criticize their cooperation.B．To emphasize their cultural superiority. C．To highlight their advantages.D．To praise their contributions. 6．Which of the following can best describe the young Egyptian specialists?A．Inspired and motivated.B．Inexperienced and untrained. C．Humble and honest.D．Flexible and adaptable.7．Which of the following is the best title for the article?A．Western vs. Local Archaeologists.B．A Discovery Bigger than Archaeology. C．The Dignity of Egyptian Archaeologists.D．The Latest Discovery in Archaeology.The main reason not to ban ChatGPT in schools is that, to be frank, it’s not going to work. Sure, a school can block the ChatGPT website on school networks and school-owned devices. But students have phones, laptops and any number of other ways of accessing it outside of class. (Just for kicks, I asked ChatGPT how a student who was determined to use the app might break a schoolwide ban. It came up with five answers, all totally reasonable, including using a VPN to disguise the student’s web traffic.)Some teachers have high hopes for tools such as GPTZero, a program built by a Princeton student that claims to be able to detect A．I.-generated writing. But these tools aren’t reliably accurate, and it’s relatively easy to fool them by changing a few words, or using a different A．I. program to paraphrase certain passages.A．I. chatbots could be programmed to watermark their outputs in some way, so teachers would have an easier time spotting A．I.-generated text. But this, too, is a flimsy defense. Right now, ChatGPT is the only free, easy-to-use chatbot of its level. But there will be others, and students will soon be able to take their pick, probably including apps with no A．I.fingerprints.Even if it were technically possible to block CharGPT, do teachers want to spend their nights and weekends keeping up with the latest A．I. detection software? Several educators I spoke with said that while they found the idea of ChatGPT-assisted cheating annoying, policing it sounded even worse. “I don’t want to be in an adversarial relationship with my students,” said Gina Parnaby, the chair of the English department at the Marist School. “If our mindset approaching this is that we have to build a better mousetrap to catch kids cheating, I just think such a perspective is misguided, because the kids are going to figure something out.”Instead of starting an endless game of whack-a-mole against an ever-expanding army of A．I. chatbots, here’s a suggestion: For the rest of the academic year, schools should treat ChatGPT the way they treat calculators-allowing it for some assignments, but not others. Then, over the summer, teachers can modify their lesson plans-replacing take-home exams with in-class tests or group discussions, for example-to try to keep cheaters at bay. 8．Which of the following best describes ChatGPT?A．An app to detect A．I.-generated writing.B．An A．I. chatbot capable of generating text.C．A tool used to monitor students’ activity.D．A program made to assist with cheating.9．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 3? A．Spotless.B．Weak.C．Secure.D．Troublesome. 10．What can we infer from paragraph 4?A．Gina prefers prevention to detection.B．Some teachers favour using A．I. detection software.C．ChatGPT has caused concern among most educators.D．Some teachers hesitate to invest time in A．I. detection software.11．What is the purpose of the writing?A．To promote the wide use of ChatGPT in schools.B．To argue that ChatGPT should be banned in schools.C．To discuss the benefits and drawbacks of ChatGPT in schools.D．To convince schools to take a realistic attitude towards ChatGPT.Among the many ecological disasters that terrify us today, one that only a handful of people have considered as sufficiently terrifying is the loss of the bats in our church tower. According to “The Darkness Manifesto” (Scribner), by the Swedish ecologist Johan Eklf, most churches in southwest Sweden had bat colonies back in the nineteen-eighties, and now most of them don’t.Light pollution, his research suggests, has been a major reason: “District after district has installed modern floodlights to show the architecture it’s proud of, all the while the animals-who have for centuries found safety in the darkness of the church towers and who have for 70 million years made the night their home-are slowly but surely vanishing from these places.”The difference between light and dark is, in a way, arbitrary: what counts as light and what as darkness depends on what wavelengths we can make out. But the nocturnal (夜间活动的) world gives rise to creatures, equipped with large-pupilled and infrared-sensitive eyes, that see what we cannot and that, under cover of darkness, act as we can only imagine.We learn, for instance, of the ghost moths, a species in which the adult males appear in fields in twilight, floating weirdly as they signal to the females-only to mate once and then fall to the ground dead. Though Eklf tells us that these creatures are threatened by the confusing presence of artificial light and that moths play a crucial role as pollinators (“something of invaluable importance for keeping our ecosystem undamaged and thriving”), what one recalls is the sad fate of their couplings.Nor are bugs and birds alone affected by the light; so are plants, and so are humans. Our eyes adapt badly to darkness, and our night vision-which is activated by the pigment protein rhodopsin (视紫红质)-takes a long while to turn on. By now, cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong are so brightly lit that their inhabitants scarcely call on night vision at all, and, as their rhodopsin becomes unnecessary, they may well create people in later generations who, in even middling darkness, are as blind as bats.12．How has light pollution affected bats in southwest Sweden?A．Bats have had nowhere to stay.B．Bats have adapted to well-lit environment.C．Bats have moved away from the church towers.D．Bats have become endangered. 13．Which of the following can best describe nocturnal creatures?A．They are sensitive to different wavelengths of light.B．They are only active during the daytime.C．They are not affected by light pollution.D．They are unable to see in darkness.14．What does the writer want to tell us by the example in paragraph 4?A．The arbitrary nature of light and dark.B．The beauty and tragedy of the ghost moths.C．The threat that nocturnal creatures face.D．The importance of nocturnal creatures. 15．How does the writer sound in the last paragraph?A．Highly critical of the local government.B．Alarmed by the impact of artificial light. C．Curious about the effects of light pollution.D．Admiring of the adaptability of bats.二、七选五Chances are you already know a social butterfly at school. The social butterfly flits around with ease, comfortably socializing with everyone, and you’ll never catch them sittingmight find this hard to believe, especially if you are naturally shy or introverted, but with a little work you can also become a social butterfly.Put yourself in the spotlight. Being a social butterfly doesn’t mean you always have to be the person to strike up every conversation. By positioning yourself in the spotlight, people will learn your name and recognize who you are. ____17____Sit with different people at lunch. Everyone has a group of people they usually sit with at lunch every day, but lunch can be a great time for socializing. ____18____ After you chat with them for a while and catch up, excuse yourself to go say hi to other people.____19____ You can talk to new people until you’re blue in the face, but your social circle won’t truly expand until you start developing your relationships with new friends. Make plans with a new pal to see the movie you talked about at lunch last week, or ask someone from class if they want to study or do homework after school. Additionally, don’t be afraid to accept invitations from new friends. Even if the activity isn’t something you’re interested in, it can still be a great opportunity to bond with your friend.Follow school events. Keep up with what’s going on at school. ____20____ Attend a basketball game, volunteer to help organize prom, check out the theater group’s new play-nomatter what you choose to do, it’s inevitable that you will meet new people, create bonds, and widen your social circle. Before you know it, you’ll be that social butterfly that you’ve always envisioned yourself to be.A．Befriend sociable people.B．Make plans and accept invitations.C．How do they do it and make it look so easy?D．You don’t have to abandon your usual set of friends.E．In this way, they are more likely to accept your invitation to different parties.F．Take part in various events so that you can connect with like-minded individuals.

Anthony Doerr’s new bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See, holds special appeal for me. That’s how I would describe it. From the poetic language, to the realization of what the tile actually means: that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that have gone untold.I’m going to be honest-love for this book didn’t hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense-the physical world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical (隐喻性的)sense-scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the two. It’s a beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it’s also an upsetting story of a childhood torn apart by war. It’s about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six, and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel (平行的)to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was this, more than the predictably awful tale of war, that made me feel quite emotional.1. What does the writer think of the book?A．Light and easy to read.B．Rich in philosophical ideas.C．Fascinating but too descriptive.D．Too complicated for its theme.2. What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner?A．The war leads to their sensitivity.B．They know each other at an early age.C．The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow.D．They both have a miserable childhood.3. What particularly stirred the writer’s emotions?A．The book’s dramatic ending.B．The book’s beautiful imagery.C．The characters’ interconnected destiny.D．The suffering brought by World War II.4. What is the purpose of this text?A．To share the writer’s feelings of a book.B．To recommend a delightful bestseller.C．To tell readers a heartbreaking story.D．To analyze the structure of a book.3. The sperm whale is an astonishing creature. It’s lo nger than a semi-truck, weighs more than 90, 000 pounds and is the largest member of the toothed whale family. It’s known to dive 6, 500 feet in search of food, and to stay down there for longer than an hour at a time.Perhaps most fantastically, the sper m whale’s brain weighs as much as 20 pounds-the biggest of any species on Earth. But when it comes to brains, is size all that matters? There’s a lot we don’t know about the sperm whale’s intelligence because it’s difficult to carry out neurological (神经的) testing on such a huge marine mammal. But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.A 2021 study published in Biology Letters, for example, looked back to 19th-century historical logbooks from whalers. Researchers found that sperm whales were at first easy to catch-but almost immediately, the whales learned how to evade hunters and whaling success dropped by 60 percent. The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.Animals that have big brains usually have a few things in common. They usually live long lives; for example, sperm whales can live for 70 years or longer. Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence- meaning they＇re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. Still, in proportion to (与…成比例)our body size, the human brain is bigger than that of the sperm whale.Yet there’s still so much we don’t know about how smart sperm whales really are. And just like the whalers of a century ago, we have likely been underestimating marine mammals, whether large or small, for as long as we’ve known of their existence.1. Why do people know littl e about the sperm whale’s intelligence?A．Sperm whales’ big size makes research difficult.B．It didn’t attract scientists’ attention until recently.C．Whalers didn’t keep enough records of their hunting.D．Sperm whales usually stay deep down in the ocean.2. What does the underlined word “evade” mean in paragraph 3?A．Track. B．Avoid. C．Locate. D．Trick.3. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 5?A．The nerve cells distinguish humans from animals.B．Sperm whales have smaller brains than humans.C．Spindle neurons make higher intelligence possible.D．Emotional intelligence is unique to whales and humans.4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Sperm Whales Are Astonishingly SmartB．Sperm Whales Have the Biggest BrainC．Break the Code of Whale LanguageD．Unlock the Mystery of Sea Mammals4. As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to foc us their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve-and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple aspects of EI. The key is to find one to give you feedback, which is focused on development and not on performance assessment. And that can give you a detailed understanding of how other people’s assessments of you differ from your own assessments.Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others sa y you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations. Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period of time as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.1. What do we know from the first paragraph?A．Professionals fail to understand the concepts of EI.B．EI plays a key role in professional development.C．Leaders are badly in need of improving their EI.D．You know how to improve EI better with others’ help.2. According to the passage, which of the following is an “external reality check”?A．You got help from your parents when making a key decision.B．Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.C．You reflected yourself and made a New Year Resolution.D．Your career development speeds up with the guidance of others.3. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?A．It’s most reliable to follow your inner call when you want to improve your EI.B．It’s hard for others to know your EI because it hides deeply behind your inner sense.C．When you want to improve EI, you should take your goals into consideration.D．Acquiring a new skill is more significant than your attempt to improve your EI.4. Which of the following might the author agree with?A．Effective EI development is determined by different factors.B．EI development is unlikely to happen unless you know what EI really is.C．The importance of performance assessment is underestimated.D．Your inner self discourages you from improving your EI.5. With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 1 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 2 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 3 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 4 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times.Have fun. 5 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph.6. As the train picked up its speed, the passengers slowly settled down on their seats. A window seat is always my favorite. I ________ the lower berth (铺位),so that I could enjoy the ________ of outside from the moving train．I don’t know why I always pref erred to get the ________ seat. An elderly lady ________ the front seat of mine. I looked at her She must be in her eighties, I guessed. At one point, we met our ________. She smiled at me and I gave her a response Both of us were________. By that time, the train was in its full speed.It was 7:00 pm, evening time. So, ________ time was still in a long way, I couldn’t ________ myself any longer and asked, ”Auntie Where are you going?”She looked at me and friendly said, “________ camp, dear. ”Suddenly my enthusiasm ________ to know the reason. I politely said. “Auntie, you are ________ someone?”She smiled and said, “Yes!”Just to continue the conversation, I talked to her in a very cheerful________ "Auntie, you must be feeling so ________ to see your chi ld and your grandchildren. ”________, this question hurt her a little but boldly she answered,"Oh, dear! You are so sweet! Anyway, I had only one son who was ________ and was killed in a battle just a few days before. I bought so many new clothes for him. So, I thought why not ________ my son’s clothes for some other soldiers, so that I would control my ________ and would be happy thinking that my own son has ________ it. ”I was shocked hearing her heartbreaking story!

He had with him his box of cars and trucks, his plastic pail (桶), and a shiny, red plastic shovel. In the process of 36 roads and tunnels in the soft sand, he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox.The boy dug around the rock, managing to 37 it from the dirt. With a little bit of struggle, he pushed the rock across the sandbox by using his feet. When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox, 38 , he found that he couldn’t roll it up and over the little wall.39 , the little boy shoved and pushed, but every time he thought he had made some progress the rock moved and then fell back into thesandbox. The little boy struggled, pushed, and shoved again but his only 40 was to have the rock roll back. Finally he burst into tears of frustration. All this time the boy’s father 41 from his living room window as the drama unfolded. As the 42 fell, a large shadow fell across the boy and the sandbox. It was the boy’s father. 43 but firmly he said, “Son, why didn’t you use all the 44 that you had available?” Defeated, the boy sobbed back, “ But I did, Daddy, I did! I used all the strength that I had!” “No, son,” 45 the father kindly. “You didn’t use all the strength you had. You didn’t ask me.” With that the father reached down, 46 the rock and removed it from the sandbox.Do you have “rocks” in your life that need to be removed? Are youdiscovering that you don’t have what it 47 to lift them alone? There is one who is always available to us and willing to give us the strength we need.

Graduating from a top university might not be48 . A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the 49 friends you have in school, the more money you will earn later.The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one’s earning potential should not come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that 50 you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are as important as talent and hard work.“If a person has lots of friends, 51 means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said XuYanchun, 17, 52 totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other. They 53 only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary.”Maybe that’s 54 some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism(交友狂症). 55 woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (30 points)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AEvery day I go into the same coffee shop on the way to work. It’s part of a large chain here in the UK.I am new to the anonymous(不署名的) act of kindness concept. I came across it recently. A few weeks ago I worked up the courage to ask the barista(咖啡师) if I could pay for a coffee for someone later that day. He looked at me kind of strangely and said “okay” and then put the money into the drawer where some change was put. I walked out feeling doubtful whether this would happen and privately thinking he might just add the money to his tips.This chain stamps a card every time you buy a coffee and when you get 9 stamps, the 10th coffee is free. I had just completed my card today and was due a free cup of coffee next time, so I cheered up as I headed out of the coffee shop. I believe that giving the card to people on the street is better than giving them cash so I forgot about the barista and passed the card on to a homeless guy I met later.A week later I was in the same store and I ordered my usual coffee and a new barista said to me, “Your coffee is on us.” I was surprised and asked why he would give me a free coffee. He said that the staff were allowed to give out one free coffee a day to anyone they chose. And that today I was the lucky one. He said they knew that I was a regular and that I was always so cheerful with the staff. By the way, I was not sure I had been the first lucky person in the morning! This put a big smile on my face but I decided to ask if I could choose to pay it forward to someone else instead. Finally, he gave me the power to make a decision.56. After the author paid for someone who would drink coffee there, he .A. left the coffee shop quickly with regretB. doubted whether he had done the right thingC. worried that the barista wouldn’t do as he hopedD. felt proud of what he had done in the coffee shop57. Why did the author give the card to the homeless guy on the street?A. Because he didn’t need it any more.B. Because the guy had begged him for it.C. Because the guy was in great need of a coffee.D.

My happy time in helping othersBGoing whitewater rafting in North Carolina (N.C.), you are cutting bonds to the every-day troubles and for a short time you are back in the natural world with your co-travelers. Rafting in N.C. has the added benefit of a long, warm rafting season, beautiful scenery, and amazing history. Only twenty minutes from Asheville, N.C., whitewater rafting on French Broad River in N.C. still has the flavor wilderness and adventure.Half Day Trip: This N.C. whitewater rafting trip begins at Barnard and finishes at Stackhouse. Typical time on the river is 1.5 to 2 hours.A couple of factors that affect the time on the river are the size of the trip and the level of the river. A small trip at high water will move faster downstream than a larger trip at lower levels. $44.00 per person.Half Day with Lunch: This rafting trip travels the same section of the French Broad River as above. The lunch is served riverside. The time frame for this trip is the same as the half day trip. Add about an hour for lunch and a more leisurely pace. $51.00 per person.Full Day Trip: This rafting starts at Barnard and finishes 8 miles downstream in Hot Springs. This is one of the best whitewater rafting trips in N.C. and gives you a chance to spend a big part of your day on the French Broad River. There is a stop for lunch, served riverside. Time on the river for the full day trip can range from 3-5 hours depending on the size of the trip and the river level. Please be aware that summer-time river levels may make it necessary to alter this trip and make it a half-day with lunch trip. Surely you will be refunded the price difference. $62.00 per person.Float Trip:Rafting in N.C. does not necessarily mean only whitewater rafting. Some of North Carolina’s best rafting is just the classic, lazy float trip. This trip floats through a beautiful section of the French Broad River valley. There are plenty of places to swim. It’s good for those who are too young or too old. $44.00 per person.Trip Times: Typical morning trip time is 9:00 and afternoon 2:00. There’s usually an hour of getting ready and transportation before putting on the river, and an hour of transportation, changing clothes, photo show, etc after taking off the river.61.

CPeople who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner, new research suggests.The findings come from a study of nearly 1,000 US people that looked at diet, calorie intake and body mass index(BMI 体重指数)——a measure of obesity. It found those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on average, slimmer than those who ate it occasionally.Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains ingredients that may favour weight loss rather than fat synthesis(合成), scientists believe. Despite boosting calorie intake, regularchocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study. The link remained even when other factors, like how much exercise individuals did, were taken into account.And it appears it is how often you eat chocolate that is important, rather than how much of it you eat. The study found no link with quantityconsumed. Lead author Dr. Beatrice Golomb, from the University of Ca lifornia at San Diego, said, “Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight.”This is not the first time scientists have suggested that chocolate may be healthy for us. Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linkedto some favourable changes in blood pressure and insulin(胰岛素) sensitivity.And chocolate does contain antioxidants which can help to absorb free radicals——unstable chemicals that can damage our cells. Mice fed for 15 days with epicatechin (present in chocolate) had improved exercise performance and observable changes to their muscle composition. They say clinical trials are now needed in humans to see if this is the case.But before you reach for a chocolate bar, there are still lots of unanswered questions. And in the absence of conclusive evidence, experts advise caution.While there’s no harm in allowing yourself a treat like chocolate now and then, eating too much might be harmful because it often containsa lot of sugar and fat too.66. What is the passage mainly about?A. Chocolate may be healthy for us.B. Eating too much chocolate might be harmful.C. Allowing yourself a treat like chocolate.D. Chocolate may help keep people slim.67. What counts when it comes to eating chocolate to lose your weight?A. The consumption quantity.B. The consumption frequency.C. The consumption time.D. The consumption type.68. According to the passage, chocolate may be healthy for us in the following EXCEPT that .A. it may make us more cheerfulB. it may do good to the heartC. it might prevent us from becoming obeseD. it may control blood pressure69. We can infer that free radicals .A. are beneficial to our healthB. are vital ingredients of chocolateC. are harmful to our healthD. change mouse muscle composition70. What is the experts’ attitude towards eating chocolate in a chocolate bar?A. Cautious.B. Supportive.C. Unclear.D. Opposed.PART FOUR WRITING (45 points)Section A (10 points)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Becoming a fireman is a challenging and competitive job today. A fireman’s main duty is being scheduled according to the fighting and extinguishment(熄灭) of fire which definitely requires being a strong man, both mentally and physically.The duty of a fireman involves protection of life and property of the public. They are the servicemen who are decisively selected by an organization to handle situations like fire. The duty of a fireman intentionally consists of helping innocent people in their time of need. Such type of jobs is one of those few jobs where service is provided for people when they need help immediately. This may include rescuing people from a building at fire, providing them with medical facilities, extinguishing fire in a house or in a large commercial building. Serving people is the main intention of these professionals. The satisfaction which a fireman gets from this type of job cannot be compared to any other profession in the world.Such profession demands top-level commitment and professionalism from those who have chosen it as a career. Fireman should possess the highest level of courage and patience to put their lives in danger for the sake of others. They undergo lessons of maintaining patience for long hours and go through complete preparation to become successful and well-organized professional firemen. There are certain tests that are recommended before becoming a fireman.It’s not that easy to become a fireman nowadays. A fireman is supposed to deal with unexpected situations, and they should have good communication skills and be self-disciplined at the same time.In order to be a good fireman, one must undergo strict local fire department’s training program after passing all the tests. All the fire departments conclude a two-to-four-month course, including classroom training and practical training that cover firefighting techniques, fire avoidance, dangerous materials and urgent situation medical actions. Completing this training, trainees go through the department’s trial period of service that can last from three to six months, depending on the methods of selection.Firemen usually work both indoors and outdoors. They have to be on duty at all times and mostly work in shifts of at least 8 hours. They are also provided with several benefits which include medical aid plan, pension fund, annual leave and many more.Title: FiremenSection B (10 points)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Planting trees around poultry farms(家禽农场) can improve air and water quality — and relations with neighbors. Research has shown that just three rows of trees near poultry houses can reduce the release of dust and ammonia(氨). They can also reduce the strong odor(气味) of ammonia gas.The trees take dust, ammonia and odors in their leaves. They also provide shade from the sun, so they reduce cooling costs in summer. And they act as a windbreak, so they reduce heating costs in winter. Trees can also improve water quality around farms by removing pollutants from soil and groundwater.Several years ago, people were objecting to the odor of poultry farms on the Delmarva Peninsula in the eastern United States. Delmarva is where the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia come together. 2,000 farms there can each house an average of 75,000 chickens.Traditionally the farms used windows to provide fresh air in the chicken houses. Farmers rarely planted trees or tall crops around the buildings, so there would be no barrier to the airflow.But then farms began to use new ventilation(通风) systems. Instead of windows, the new systems used tunnel fans to circulate air. The fans directed airflow from the poultry houses toward the homes of neighbors. Researchers began dealing with the problem in 2000. They found that over a period of six years, planting three rows of trees reduced total dust and ammonia by more than half. And they found that smells were reduced by 18%.Farmers may think trees will take too long to grow and be effective. But some trees can grow quickly. At least one-third of the Delmarva farms have planted trees, technically known as vegetative environmental buffers（环境缓冲器）. The idea offers a way to cut pollution, save money and energy, and make the neighbors happy.81. How many chickens can the poultry farms house totally in Delmarva?(no more than 2 words) (2 marks)______________________________________________________________________82. How does the new ventilation system work? (no more than 7 words) (2 marks)______________________________________________________________________83.
