Smartphones, tablets, and computers have become integral parts of daily life. However, this increased screen time has raised concerns about its impact onchildren’s sleep patterns. A recent study investigates the correlation between screen time and sleep quality in adolescents.Body:The study involved 1000 adolescents aged 13 to 16. Participants were asked to keep a sleep diary for one week, detailing their screen usage before bedtime. Researchers found that those who used screens for more than two hours before going to bed had significantly lower sleep quality than those who did not. The study also revealed that the type of screen used had no significant impact on sleep quality, suggesting that it’s the overall screen time that matters.One of the key findings was that the blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. This disruption in melatonin production can lead to difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night.Conclusion:The study concludes that limiting screen time before bedtime is crucial for maintaining healthy sleep patterns in adolescents. Recommendations include setting a “screen-free” hour before bedtime and ensuring that screens are turned off at least an hour before going to sleep.Questions:1.What is the main focus of the article?A. The benefits of technology in children’s educationB. The impact of screen time on children’s sleepC. The role of smartphones in daily lifeD. The importance of melatonin in sleep regulation2.According to the study, what is the primary factor affecting sleep quality in adolescents who use screens before bedtime?A. The type of screen usedB. The amount of screen timeC. The time of day the screen is usedD. The content viewed on the screen3.What is the recommended action to improve sleep quality in adolescents according to the study?A. Increase screen time before bedtimeB. Use screens only during the dayC. Turn off all screens at least an hour before bedtimeD. Limit screen time to one hour before bedtimeAnswers:1.B2.B3.C三、完型填空（15分）III.Cloze Test (Finish the following passage by filling in each blank with the correct form of the words given in the brackets.)(10 points)Directions: Read the following passage and fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of the words given in the brackets.

EgyptB. BabylonC. RomeD. China25.According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true？______A. The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily life．B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages．C. The umbrellas for women were made colourful in ancient times．D. The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented．CI'll never forget that summer day in 1965 when my mother suddenly died of an unexplained illness at the age of 36．Later that afternoon，a police officer stopped by to ask my father if the hospital could use Mother's corneas（角膜）．I was shocked．"The doctors want to dissect mum and give her away to other people!" I thought as I ran into the house in tears．"How can you let them do that to her？" I screamed at my father．"My mum came into this world in one piece and that is how she should go out．""Linda，" Father said quietly，putting his arm around me，"the greatest gift you can give is a part of yourself．Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a difference in just one person's life after we die，our death will have meaning．" He went on to explain they had both decided to donate their organs（器官）．The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life．Years passed．I married and had a family of my own．In 1980，my father became seriously ill and moved in with us．He cheerfully told me that when he died，he wanted me to donate his eyes．"Sight is one of the greatest gifts a person can give，" he said．I told Wendy what her grandpa had said，and with tears in her eyes，she went into her grandpa's room and gave him a big hug．She was only fourteen years old----the same age at which I was introduced to such a thing．What a difference!My father died on April 11，1986，and we donated his eyes as he had wanted．Three days later，Wendy said，"Mum，I'm so proud of you for what did for grandpa．"At that moment，I realized that my father gave much more than his eyes．26.How was it for the writer to agree the hospital's use of her mother's corneas？______A. Easy．B. Possible．C. Simple．D. Difficult．27.According to the passage，the underlined word "dissect" may be best replaced by______ ．A. cut upB. search forC. move awayD. burn away28.Why did the writer finally agree on her mother's donation？______A. Because she was afraid of her father．B. Because she didn't care about it any more．C. Because she was too young to stop it．D. Because her father explained to her．29.What did Wendy think of her grandpa's donation？______A. At first she couldn't accept it，but she agreed in the end．B. She begged her mother not to donate her grandpa's eyes．C. She felt proud of her grandpa's donation．D. She thought it normal and didn't car about it much．DGlobalization means that people，ideas，technology，money，services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act．Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization．Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good．Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer．These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's destroy local businesses．However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer．They also think that it doesn't destroy local cultures．These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars．This is because countries with economic connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren't destroyed．No matter what you think about globalization，it affects the world in two areas：jobs andcultures．Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world．For some workers，such as engineers，lawyers and bankers，globalization has been a good development．These workers are able to successfully compete（竞争）globally and have seen an increase in their pay．But for those who work in factories or in the service industry（at hotels，shops and restaurants），it has not been good．Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs．They will do the same job for less money．This decreases the pay for that job，so people get paid less to do it．Cultures have also been affected by globalization．Foods such as Japanese noodles，Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world．We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（汉字）in tattoos（纹身）．Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean．Globalization also affects the film industry．Most people have seen American movies．But because of globalization，Korean，Indian and Japanese movies have become more worldwide．No one knows the future of globalization．Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people's lives in the future．30.Some people think globalization is good because it may ______ ．A. change local culturesB. help local businesses developC. make rich people become richerD. help stop wars among countries31.According to Paragraph 4 we know ______ ．A. engineers will get a lower payB. people can get favourite jobs more easilyC. globalization greatly affects people's jobsD. workers from rich countries get paid less32.Globalization helps people in the world ______ ．A. know Chinese characters very wellB. go to different countries for moviesC. own the same culture in the endD. enjoy foods from different countries33.What can we infer（推断）from the passage？______A. Globalization is sure to do good to people．B. Globalization will be limited in the future．C. Globalization may change people's lives in the future．D. Globalization will be loved throughout the world．五、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共6.0分）34.Where does your food come from？How is it made？These days，many people worryabout food safety．But food safety is not a new worry．In1906，Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle．The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago．It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared．People were so worried that the U．S．started testing food．These days，most food in the world is safe．Laws control where food comes from．They also control how food is managed and prepared．Laws are important．But it's moreimportant to make sure the rules are followed．A good food safety system keeps people safe．It also helps them eat healthy food．Labels（标签）on food give people important information．Then they can make good choices about their food．Although food safety systems usually work，there can be problems．Sometimes mistakes are made．For example，a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream．The ice cream couldmake people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it．Other problems are not mistakes．Sometimes companies break rules to make more money．When this happens，people don't know if their food is safe．As we all know，food is closely related to our daily life．We should take actions to make food safer!Who wrote The Jungle？______What are the food labels used to do？______Is it necessary to pay attention to food safety？Why or why not？______六、单词拼写/单词释义（本大题共3小题，共3.0分）35.- Why did Mr Wu praise Sally yesterday？- Because she spelled all the English new words______．36.-Daniel，could you give me some______on how to lose weight？I hope they will behelpful．-Sure．Do more exercise and eat more vegetables．37.-Kate，you are working hard these days．-Yes，I must try my best，______ I may fail in the exam．七、完成句子（本大题共7小题，共7.0分）38.As the final exam is coming，I am______（严格的）with myself．39.The film isn't as wonderful as I______（想象）．40.Sue showed great______（勇气）throughout her illness．41.Some scientists say they have______（成功）in finding a cure for cancer．42.It's 11：00 p．m，but I find him still______（醒着的）．43.In______（古代的）times，there were usually walls around towns．44.Sometimes______（粗心）may lead to big accidents．八、句子翻译（本大题共5小题，共15.0分）45.我宁愿失败也不会放弃．______46.自上个月以来，我已经在化学方面取得了巨大进步．______47.你最好不要泄气．______48.这本书分成了三部分．______49.使我惊讶的是，他爸爸参加了足球队的选拔．______．九、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共20.0分）50.音乐、电影、绘画、摄影，在众多的爱好中，电影广受人们的喜爱．假如你最喜欢注意：1．表达中必须包含所给要点，可以适当发挥1-2句，不要简单翻译．2．以My favourite hobby为题，词数90左右．______________________________________________．答案和解析1.【答案】D【解析】答案：D。

In this case, “how important” indicates the level of importance of saving money. The other options do not fit grammatically or contextually:•“what” is typically used for asking about things or information.•“which” is used when choosing from a set of alternatives.•“where” is used to inquire about location, which is irrelevant in this context.2、Now that I’m older, I’ve started to put some of my pocket money into a savings account, and I find it very ___________.A. satisfactionB. satisfyingC. satisfiedD. satisfactorilyAnswer: B. satisfyingExplanation: The adjective “satisfying” is the correct choice as it describes the experience of putting money into a savings account. It means that the act gives a sense of fulfillment or contentment.•“Satisfaction” is a noun and does not fit as the sentence requires an adjective to describe “it.”•“Satisfied” is an adjective but would be used to describe a person who feels content, not the action itself.•“Satisfactorily” is an adverb and does not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence, which calls for an adjective after “very.”3、Complete the following sentence with the correct form of the verb in parentheses.Although he had practiced the speech many times, when it was time to present in front of the class, Tom found himself________(shake).Answer: shakingExplanation: The sentence uses the present participle “shaking” as part of the verb form to describe an action that is happening at the time described by the main clause. Here, Tom’s shaking is occurring simultaneously with the act of presenting.4、Fill in the blank with the appropriate word form according to the context.The students were so________(excite) about the upcoming school trip that they could hardly concentrate on their studies.Answer: excitedExplanation: In this sentence, the adjective “excited” is used to describe the emotional state of the students. It is important to note that people are “excited,” whereas events or situations can be “exciting.” The students’ anticipation of the school trip is causing them to feel excitement, which is interfering with their ability to focus on their studies.5、After__________(finish) his homework, John went out to play football with his friends.•Answer: finishing•Explanation: After is a preposition here, and it should be followed by the gerund form of the verb “to finish”.6、The teacher suggested that we__________(read) more English novels to improve our language skills.•Answer: read•Explanation: In reported speech, when the main clause is in the past tense (suggested), the embedded clause typically remains in the present tense if it conveys a suggestion or advice.7、Complete the following sentence with the proper form of the given word. Although it was raining, he decided_______(go) out to meet his friends.Answer: to goExplanation: The correct form to use after “decide” in this context is the infinitive “to go.” The phrase “decide to do something” is commonly used to express making a choice about an action.8、Fill in the blank with the appropriate preposition.She is proud________her achievements in science.Answer: ofExplanation: The preposition “of” is used here to express that someone feels pride because of their own accomplishments. The phrase “be proud of” is a standard expression in English to indicate taking pride in something or someone.Here are the formatted grammar fill-in questions along with their respective answers and explanations:7.Although it was raining, he decided_______(go) out to meet his friends.•Answer: to go•Explanation: The correct form to use after “decide” in this context is the infinit ive “to go.” The phrase “decide to do something” iscommonly used to express making a choice about an action.8.She is proud________her achievements in science.•Answer: of•Explanation: The preposition “of” is used here to express that someone feels pride b ecause of their own accomplishments. The phrase “be proud of” is a standard expression in English to indicate taking pride in something or someone.9、The local government has (implement)___ several measures to improve air quality in the city, making it one of the greenest places to live.Answer: implementedExplanation: The present perfect tense is used here to indicate an action that has taken place at some indefinite time before now. ‘Implemented’ is thepast participle of ‘implement,’ and it correctly co mpletes the sentence to convey that the measures have already been put into effect.10、Despite her fear of heights, she managed to climb (success)___ to the top of the mountain, proving that determination can overcome any obstacle.Answer: successfullyExp lanation: The adverb ‘successfully’ is needed here to modify the verb ‘climb.’ Adverbs describe or modify verbs, and in this case, it tells us how the action of climbing was performed, indicating that she completed the climb without failure despite her fears.五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）1、Translate the sentence “他每天早晨都练习跑步”into English.•Answer: “He practices running every morning.”•Explanation: In this translation, “他”means “he,” “每天早晨”translates to “every morning,” and “都练习跑步”means “practices running.” The verb “practice” is used here because it conveys the idea of regular training or exercise, which fits well with the context of the sentence.2、Explain the difference between “affect” and “effect” in English grammar.•Answer: “Affect” is usually a verb me aning to influence or produce a change, while “effect” is usually a noun representing the result of an influence or cause.•Explanation: This question tests students’ understanding of commonly confused words. “Affect” as a verb often implies influence, wher eas “effect” as a noun typically refers to the outcome or result of an action or cause. It’s important to note that “effect” can also be used as a verb meaning to bring about or accomplish, but in the context of the exam, the distinction between them as parts of speech is being highlighted.3、What are some effective strategies for improving your English listening skills? Provide at least three methods and briefly explain how each can be beneficial.Answer:•Watching English Movies or TV Shows with Subtitles: This method allows learners to associate the spoken words with their written form, helping to improve vocabulary and pronunciation. It also exposes them to different accents and conversational styles, which is invaluable for developing a natural understanding of the language.•Listening to English Podcasts or Music: Engaging with audio content in English, such as podcasts on topics of interest or music, helps to train the ear to recognize the sounds and rhythms of the language. This can make it easier to understand spoken English in various contexts.•Participating in Language Exchange Programs: By speaking with native speakers, one can get immediate feedback on pronunciation and usage, and learn colloquialisms and cultural nuances that aren’t typically found in textbooks. It’s an active way to practice listening and speaking,which reinforces learning through conversation.Explanation:These strategies are chosen because they provide a variety of ways to engage with the English language, catering to different learning preferences. The use of multimedia (movies, TV shows, music) makes the process enjoyable and less monotonous, while direct interaction (language exchange) offers practical experience and instant correction, which is essential for skill development.4、Explain the importance of using context clues when trying to understand new vocabulary in a text. Give an example of how context clues helped you understand the meaning of a word you didn’t know before.Answer:Using context clues is crucial for inferring the meanings of unfamiliar words without relying solely on a dictionary. This technique not only enhances reading comprehension but also promotes independent learning. Context clues can come from surrounding sentences, synonyms, antonyms, examples, or even punctuation, guiding the reader towards the correct interpretation of a word. For instance, if I came across the word “meticulous” in a sentence like, “She was so meticulous about her work that she checked every single detail twice,” the phrase “checked every single detail twice” would suggest that “meticulous” means very careful or precise. Thus, by paying attention to the context, I could deduce the word’s meaning and continue reading smoothly.Explanation:This answer emphasizes the value of being able to deduce the meaning of unknownwords from their context, a skill that greatly aids in both academic and everyday reading. The example provided illustrates a practical application of this strategy, showing how details within a sentence can offer enough information to understand the general sense of a new word, thereby enriching one’s vocabulary and improving overall comprehension.5、Read the following passage and answer the question based on the information provided.Passage:Last month, the city council announced a new initiative to promote environmental awareness among young people. As part of this initiative, schools across the city will start recycling programs. Students will be responsible for sorting recyclable materials into different bins and learning about the importance of reducing waste and conserving resources. To encourage participation, there will be rewards for classes that achieve the highest recycling rates.Question:What will the schools do to promote environmental awareness according to the passage?Answer:The schools will start recycling programs where students will sort recyclable materials and learn about the importance of reducing waste and conserving resources.Explanation:This answer is derived directly from the passage, which states that schools will initiate recycling programs as part of the city’s efforts to raise environmental awareness. It highlights two key activities: sorting recyclables and educating students on waste reduction and resource conservation, both of which are essential components of promoting environmental consciousness among youth.Feel free to ask if you need more questions or further assistance with your test preparation!六、书面表达题（15分）Section VI: Writing (25 points)Instructions:For this part, you are required to write a composition based on the given situation. Your writing should be at least 80 words. Make sure your sentences are clear and well-organized.Question 1:Situation:Your school is organizing an international student exchange program, and you have been asked to write an article for the school newsletter about the benefits of such a program. In your article, you should:•Introduce the concept of the student exchange program.•Discuss two or three advantages that students can gain from participatingin the program.•Conclude by encouraging more students to join the program.Requirements:•Use appropriate linking words to connect your ideas.•Write at least 80 words.•The beginning of the article is provided below. You should continue it.Beginning of the Article:“An exciting opportunity awaits our students as we launch the International Student Exchange Program…”Model Answer:“An exciting opportunity awaits our students as we launc h the International Student Exchange Program. This initiative allows students to spend a semester studying abroad, immersing themselves in a different culture while continuing their education. One of the most significant benefits of joining the program is the chance to improve language skills through daily use and interaction with native speakers. Additionally, participants will develop a broader perspective on global issues, which enhances their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Moreover, the experience fosters personal growth, independence, and adaptability, qualities highly valued in both academic and professional environments. I strongly encourage all interested students to take advantage of this unique opportunity to broaden their horizon s and enrich their lives.”Analysis:•Introduction: The answer begins with the given sentence, introducing thestudent exchange program and setting the context for the readers.•Advantages Discussed:•Language Skills: Emphasizes the natural enhancement of language proficiency through immersion and constant use.•Global Perspective: Highlights the development of a wider view on world matters, which is beneficial for intellectual capabilities.•Personal Growth: Points out the fostering of self-reliance, flexibility, and other life skills, making a case for the long-term value of theexperience.•Conclusion: The response concludes by actively encouraging participation, reiterating the positive impact of the program on students’ personal and academic development.This model answer effectively meets the requirements of the task, providing a coherent and persuasive argument for why students should consider joining the International Student Exchange Program. It uses a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures, ensuring clarity and engagement throughout the text.。

People all over the world will remember Kathryn Bigelow and her film The Hurt Locker 《拆弹部队》.Who is Kathryn Bigelow? She is the ex-wife of James Cameron, the director of Avator. Some people believed that James Cameron was sure to win the best director. What does James Cameron think of The Hurt Locker? James Cameron regarded it as a pure and real war film.Kathryn was born on November 27, 1951 in America. She liked drawing when she was very young. She studied painting after finishing high school. But soon she turned to film. In 1978, Kathryn made her first short movie. The topic of the movie is about violence(暴力). Since then, she has shown great interest in making films about wars and crimes.The Hurt Locker was the eighth and the best film that she had ever made. The film was based on a journalist’s experiences that covering Iraq War. It tells the story of a bomb squad（小队）. Kathryn made the film in the Middle East. By using hand-held cameras, Bigelow made the audience feel the fear, the heat and the thirst. Her success made history. She became the first woman ever to win the directing Oscar.41.

Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and for too long. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association did a study. The study was done among threehundred high school students and one thousand adults.. Forty percent of students and adults said they set the sound level, or volume, at high on their iPods. But students were two times more likely to play the music at a very loud volume. More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time. And about a third said they were not likely to reduce the volume.Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. Theysay large earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller earbuds that come with most music players. Earbuds are thought to be less effective than earphones in blocking out foreign noises.Hearing loss may not be obvious for years. But once it happens, it is permanent (永久的 ). About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result of loud noises.The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is working with producers and government officials on setting rules for use of portable (可携带的 ) music devices. The groupsays the best way to protect your bearing is to reduce the volume, limit listening time and usingearphones that block out foreign noises.45.

Which is NOT true according to the third paragraph?A. The listening equipment used by people need to be improved.B. Earbuds can’t block out foreign noises completely.C. Most music players are equipped with earbuds.D. Listening to music with large earphones on is less effective.47. We can learn from the text that .A. when rules for use of portable music device are worked out, hearing loss can disappearB. producers are the main cause that leads to hearing lossC. it was not listening equipment but listeners themselves that mainly result in hearing lossD. using large earphones is the best way to protect your hearing48.

What can you do if you only have time between 5 p.m. t0 6 p.m. on Saturday?A. Go shopping.B. Go to see the photo show.C. Go to the dance with your sweet heart.D. Go to watch the horse race.51. How much will Mr. and Mrs. Smith pay if they want to go to the dance party?A. 15 dollars.B. 25 dollars.C. 20%~40% off.D. For free.DI’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action.But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(另动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface（表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in anyway she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace－it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some paper inside －a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.52. The writer began to love her mother’s desk .A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her53. The passage shows that .A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneC. mother cared much about her daughter in wordsD. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words54. What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.55. What’s the best title of the passage?A. My letter to Mother.B. Mother and Children.C. My mother’s Desk.D. Talks between Mother and Me.第二卷（三大题共45分）五、单词拼写根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

To get his father's praise．B. To help the kite fly higher．C. To watch the kite fall freely．D. To see what would happen to the kite．26.From the father，what do we know about the kite thread？______A. It controls the direction of the wind．B. It makes people who fly kites happy．C. It helps the kite stay higher．D. It prevents the kite from flying higher．27.What can we learn from the story？______A. The things that seem to hold us back can also support us．B. Flying kites is really fun for both parents and children．C. We can cut the kite thread to let it fly higher．D. Sometimes，we will lose our way without help from others．CHave you noticed the waste bins in different colors on the street？Do you often put all the waste in the same bin？It's reported by Changchun Daily that people must do waste sorting （分类）in most places in Changchun at the end of 2019．Waste sorting is a wonderful way to make good use of energy and protect the environment．But do you know how to sort the waste？Usually，people should sort their waste into four groups：wet，recyclable，harmful and dry．Different kinds of waste should go into different bins．Wet waste means the things you don't want but pigs can eat，mostly coming from your kitchen．Things that can be used again，such as paper，metal and glass，are recyclable waste．Harmful waste might be dangerous or cause serious pollution，like medicine and batteries （电池）．And any waste that's not wet，recyclable or harmful will go into the dry waste bin．Different countries are trying different methods to sort the waste．A university in England has a smart bin．When people drop their waste into the bin，it can tell what kind of waste it is and sort it correctly．The bin can also compress （压缩）the waste to make it smaller in size and take up less space．In South Korea，people have to separate their food waste from other kinds of waste and pay for it．The more food waste they throw away，the more they pay．In Japan，plastic bottles and their caps should go into different bins．28.Which of the following should go into the harmful waste bin？______A. Glass．B. Medicine．C. Paper．D. Metal．29.What can you learn from the passage？______A. People in South Korea have to pay for the harmful waste they throw away．B. All the countries around the world are doing waste sorting these days．C. Changchun has the strictest rules for waste sorting in the world．D. Waste sorting can help make the earth a better place for people to live in．30.The text is probably ______ ．A. a storyB. a poemC. a news reportD. a letterDHave you ever heard "You never get a second chance to make a first impression"？It may sound like an unusual piece of advice，but it is true-the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future．What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds．When you meet someone for the first time，by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands，the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are．So how do you make a good first impression？All things grown-ups tell you-such as being polite，and being well-dressed-are very important．However，the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face．Smiling and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive （积极的）impression on people，especially those who do not know you．Most people，generally speaking，are ready to smile back when they are smiled at．Furthermore，smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things．This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly．So if you ever need a reason to be happy，think about the wonderful people you might meet-and impress-with a cheerful smile．31.Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you？______A. Paragraph 1．B. Paragraph 2．C. Paragraph 3．D. Paragraph 4．32.What is the most important if you want to leave a good first impression？______A. Shaking hands．B. Stating your name．C. Dressing nicely．D.

She stepped down from the train that had brought her from Dover to Victoria Station and put her heavy suitcase on the platform （站台）. People were hurrying everywhere：through the entrances and exits, up and down the steps, along the other platforms and over to the ticket counters（柜台）where there were already queues forming. The porters（行李员）seemed to be busy helping other passengers. In Milan everyone told her that it was always raining in England. Today, however, they were wrong. It was warm and dusty just like at home. She could even hear someone speaking her native language somewhere near the station bookstore. She walked slowly towards the gate at the end of the platform where a railway official was collecting the tickets. She handed him her tickets and walked through. She looked up the station clock. Its hands were pointing to 3：15 p.m.A young woman was sitting on a bench reading an English magazine. She looked friendly so Gina went up to her."Excuse me." she said. The young woman glanced（瞥一眼）up with a smile. "Can you tell me the way to circus？""The circus？" The young woman looked puzzled. "What circus do you mean？"Gina shook her head. "I'm sorry. I have just arrived from Italy to attend a school for foreign students in London. It is near the circus. ""Do you have a letter with the school's address on it？""Oh, yes. Now I remember." Gina opened her handbag and found a postcard with a British stamp on it. "Ah," said the young woman. "It's Oxford Circus that you want. It's the name of an area in the middle of London. You must go down these steps and take the Tube（地铁）. Follow the colors. That's the easiest way. " She showed Gina on the colored map of the underground railway the route from Victoria to Oxford Circus. "Good luck," she said.

However, there's always something staring at us rightunder our nose but we don't see it. The only time we think ofunlocking our self improvement power is when everythinggets worst.When do we realize that we need to change diets？When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates？When all of our teeth have fallen off When do we realize that we need to stop smoking？When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore（忽视）it.Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it's for our own good.Happy people don't just accept change, they embrace（拥抱）it. Unlocking ourself-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups of people. She hears her family tell the same things about her to ether people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!Self-improvement may not be everybody's favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self improvement power will we realize that we're beginning to take things light and become happy.31.The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ______ .A. we learn our lessons when we experience pain.B. we are responsible for the problems we meet.C. life fails us when we get into the wrong wayD. life is a long journey full of ups and downs.32.What is the key to solving Jane's problem？______A.

She needs to understand the importance of confidence.33.The writer probably agrees that ______ .A. the world tells us how to improve ourselves.B. people change when they find it easy to do that.C. welcoming change in life is a drive to become better.D. enjoying the process of self improvement makes life harder.34.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？______A. Is it important to take things light？B. Is it necessary to embrace challenges？C. To hold on to the last moment or to give up？D. To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it？35.根据对话内容及方框中所给的句子补全对话．选择中两项是多余的．M：Do you know who the compass （指南针）was invented by？W：Of course．(1) It's one of the four great inventions of ancient China．They have changed the world greatly．M：(2) And when was it first invented？W：(3) But I know there were records of the South-pointing Fish （指南鱼）in the Song Dynasty．M：Exactly．People in the 10 th century began to use the South-pointing Fish．W：(4)M：It was simple．When the fish was put into the water，its head would point to the south．W：It wasn't the first recorded compass，was it？M：(5) In the Warring States Period （战国时期），Sinan （司南）was widely used by people．W：So the history of the compass goes back to over 2，000 years ago？M：That's true．A．No，of course not．B．How was Sinan invented then？C．How did it work？D．The South-pointing Fish was invented by accident，right？E．I am not sure．F．It was invented by the Chinese．G．You've got a point．36.With the inventions of many things, the world needs technology ______ （先锋）like QianXuesen and Mrs. Curie to open up unknown fields.37.Mary said she ______ （更喜欢） reading a book to watching TV．38.-My mother often asks my teachers to be much ______ （严格）with me at school.-So does my mum.39.Her husband's health is excellent, ______ （根据）to a full medical workup justcompleted.40.To our joy,the problem was ______ （成功）solved at last.41.Both pianos and violins are musical i ______ used a lot in Western music.42.I think health ______ /'mætəz/ more to everyone than anything else.43.-Who do you think is more suitable to be the President of the US，Trump or Biden？- ______ is OK.
