The process of tidying up my house brought peace to me and made me feel organized at heart.” Jessica told The Times.Like Jessica, more British have started to seek for help from home organizers to pursue minimalism (极简主义) lifestyles.This period has made many people appreciate everyday order and comfort. Having a comfortable living environment became more pressing for people who were forced to work at home and for families spending long hours together under one roof.“People are fearful of the future, especially with this pandemic” Sharon, told The Times. “Will it get worse? Will it return... I think it is a good idea to clear your home as a way of clearing your mind. This is an ideal time to tidy up and give some thought to what we haveand to be thankful for it.”For most people, tidying up is much more than sorting things and putting them away. It can help begin a conversation with themselves and reflect upon their lives.Jenny, 27, has loved organizing things since childhood. While other children would throw their schoolbags on the floor and run out to play with their friends, Jenny, preferred to put her books and pencil box in order on her desk and enjoyed helping her mother fold shirts. Today she still practices this in her own life while also helping others.“Decluttering is not merely about getting rid of stuff and sorting things out. It’s a way of improving relationships between people, their belongings and their space, which can help lead to a tidy and comfortable life. It's about education and bringing beauty and harmony into one's living space,” Jenny told The Times.Did she face any difficulties while organizing homes? Obviously, yes. “There’s a tradition in Britain of treasuring possessions. Most people aren’t in the habit of throwing out useless things unless they’re worn out. So we try to be accustomed to the idea and make it much more acceptable.” Jenny added.41．What can we infer from Jessica’s words?A．The home organizer threw away 50 per cent of her possessions.B．The home organizer raised her sense of order.C．She enjoys the process of tidying up her house.D．She is seeking for minimalism lifestyles.42．According to the passage, what is the similarity between clearing your home and clearing your mind?A．Both need a thorough clean.B．Both need a careless thought.C．Both require an immediate action.D．Both require thankfulness.43．What is Jenny’s opinion about decluttering?A．Decluttering is a way of ruining relationships between different people. B．Decluttering is more than about getting rid of stuff and sorting things out. C．Decluttering enables us to live a tidy and economical life.D．Decluttering is about education and bringing depression to people.44．What difficulty did Jenny face when organizing homes?A．That people’s possessions are hardly worn out.B．People’s habit of throwing useless things.C．The tradition of cherishing possessions in Britain.D．That it’s acceptable to throw out things unless they are worn out.45．What can we learn from the passage?A．A tidy house brings balance to Jessica and makes her feel surprised.B．Minimalism lifestyles are becoming more and more popular among British.C．Tidying up is no more than sorting things and throwing unnecessary things.D．Most Britain are unlikely to throw useless things.As smartphone users know, a sleeping device can still consume the power of a battery. One solution for extending the battery life of wireless devices is to add a wake - up receiver that can tun on a shut - off device.Angad Rekhi, a university student, and Amin Arabians, an assistant professor have developed a wake - up receiver that turns on a device in response to ultrasonic (超声波的)signals. By working at a significantly smaller wavelength and switching from radio waves to ultrasound, this receiver is much smaller than similar wake - up receivers.This wake - up receiver has many potential applications, particularly in designing the next generation of networked devices, including the smart devices that can communicate directly with one another without human’s role.Once attached to a device, a wake - up receiver listens for a unique ultrasonic pattern that tells it when to turn the device on. It only needs a very small amount of power to maintain this constant listening, so it still saves energy.The designing of these receivers presented a number of challenges. “Miniaturizing wake - up receivers and driving down power consumption while maintaining or extending range are fundamental challenges,” Angad said. “By doing so, the receivers can be small but powerful enough to fit in with the environment.”By comparison, the ultrasound wake - up receiver requires a battery but has much greater range than the wirelessly powered devices, These two technologies - wireless power and wake - up receivers would likely serve different purposes, but both indicate a turning point in devices that make up the Internet of things.“In light of a long - promised future where interconnected, autonomous, widespread and remarkable technologies make life easier, the networked devices available now, like video doorbells and app - enabled lights, seem like rather slight advances” the researchers explained.They believe technologies could help cross the gap between the Internet of things as we know it and the Internet of things at their best.46．How does the wake - up receiver work?A．By getting permission from the owner and turning on the device.B．By picking up the radio sound and turning it into the ultrasonic signal.C．By sensing the signal and turning on the device automatically.D．By receiving the ultrasonic signal and reminding its owner.47．What is the main advantage of the wake - up receiver?A．It can receive signals quickly.B．It's remotely controlled.C．It's energy - efficient.D．It can communicate by itself. 48．What can the wake - up receiver be applied for?A．wake - up smart devices B．ultrasonic devicesC．wirelessly powered devices D．future networked devices49．The underlined word “miniaturizing” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”. A．reducing the size of B．making full use of C．designing the style of D．checking the function of50．What is Angad’s attitude towards the future of the networked devices?A．Critical.B．Positive.C．Indifferent.D．ObjectiveRending leadership literature, you’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective lender.I don’t believe that to, be true. In fact, there are fewer truly effective leaders, instead, I see many more leaders sadly incompetent, and seriously misguided about their own abilities.Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those w ho pursue leadership in the first place.We’ve all met the type of individual who simply must take charge. Whether it’s a decision-making session, a basketball game, or a family outing, they can’t help grabbing the lead position. They believe they are natural born leaders.Truth is, they’re nothing of the sort. True leaders don’t assume that it’s their divine (神圣的) right to take charge every time two or more people get together. Quite the opposite. A great leader will assess each situation and will only take charge when their position, the situation, or the needs of the moment demand it.Many leaders confuse leadership with action. They believe that constant motion somehow generates leadership as a byproduct (副产品). Faced with any situation that can’t be solved by the force of activity, they generate a dust cloud of impatience. Their one leadership tool is volume: if they think you aren’t working as hard as they think you should, their demands become increasingly louder and rougher.True leaders understand the value of action, of course, but it isn’t their only tool. In fact, it isn’t ever their primary tool. Great leaders see more than everyone else: answers, solutions, patterns, problems, opportunities. They know it’s vitally important to do, but they also know that thinking, understanding, are equally important.If you’re too concerned with outcomes, you aren’t leading at all, you’re dictating (独裁).A true leader is someone who develops his or her team so that they can hit their targets and achieve their goals.51．What does the author think of the leaders he knows?A．Many of them are used to taking charge.B．Few of them are equal to their positions. C．Many of them fail to fully develop their potential.D．Few of them are familiar with leadership literature.52．Why are some people eager to grab leadership positions?A．They believe they have the natural gift to lead.B．They believe in what leadership literature says.C．They have proved competent in many situations.D．They get great satisfaction from being leaders.53．What characterizes a great leader according to the author?A．Being able to take immediate action when chances present themselves.B．Having a whole - hearted devotion to their divine responsibilities.C．Having a full understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses.D．Being able to assess the situation carefully before taking charge.54．How will many leaders respond when their command fails to generate action? A．They reassess the situation at hand.B．They become impatient and rude. C．They adopt any tool available.D．They blame their team members. 55．What is the author’s advice to leaders?A．Concentrate on one specific task at a time.B．Use different tools to achieve different goals.C．Build up a strong team to achieve their goals.D．Show determination when faced with tough tasks.四、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Where students go to school touches many aspects of their lives, from academic studies to social activities and beyond. Considering the importance of this decision, prospective students should think carefully about their options. Follow these steps to help you make a college decision. Develop your short list.A lot of thought should go into developing a short list of schools you would like to attend. Brennan Barnard and Rick Clark, authors of “The Truth About College Admission: A Family Guide to Getting In and Staying Together,” urge students to think about location, enrollment size (招生规模) , majors and programs, the people on campus, opportunities outside of the classroom, cost and selectivity when crafting a list. Revisit schools.Once applications are in, it's time to think hard about where you want to attend, which may lead another visit. While you should have gotten a feel for campus life during initial college tours, take another trip to each school and come up with a list of 10 to 15 detailed questions, says Bob Roth, author of several books on college success. Know what to ask on a college visit, and don't leave with any questions unanswered. Meeting with current students is another way to measure campus culture, as they can provide insight about social activities and classroom experiences for certain majors. But taking a campus tour can be expensive, considering travel costs. If a return trip is out of the question, take a second look at the campus via a virtual tour and reach out to college officials or students with any follow-up questions. Compare financial aid awards.If you're looking to graduate from college with little or no debt, carefully compare financial aid packages. It's wise to look beyond the tuition and see what additional costs apply, like housing and meal plans. Understand the difference between free money-such as grants (补助金) and scholarships —and loans, which you'll have to pay back eventually. Some colleges offer generous financial aid packages meeting full financial need, meaning those students are not required to take out loans. Communicate with family.Many parents have fond memories of their college campus and want their children to share that same experience. But what was the best fit for a parent, may not be the best fit for the student. Create an open dialogue during the decision-making process. Give your parents reasons as to whyyou want to attend a particular college, like an interest in a specific academic program or study abroad opportunity.36．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A．The list of colleges you would like to attend should be as short as possible.B．There are many factors to consider before choosing a college.C．You should list as many schools as possible before choosing a college.D．The most important thing to consider when choosing a college is the location. 37．According to Paragraph 3, why do you need to visit the schools again?A．Because a virtual tour to the campus is always less convenient than a physical visit.B．Because it is good to get to know more current students before school starts.C．Because the cost of taking a campus tour is not as expensive as you think.D．Because you need to know more about these schools before making a final decision. 38．What does the author suggest about financial aid awards?A．You don't need to worry about the cost of rent and food.B．You need to know what money you need to pay back and what you don't.C．All you need to consider when choosing a college is the cost of tuition.D．It's unwise to choose a college whose financial aid package covers all financial needs. 39．According to Paragraph 5, which of the following may NOT be a reason for parents to let students choose the college they attended?A．They have had an investment in the college.B．They had met very good professors at that college.C．The college has a beautiful view.D．The college has friendly staff.40．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A．To draw student's attention to college life.B．To help students find the right college.C．To provide students with access to college.D．To share his experience on selecting college.The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned, pot-bellied coal stove (煤炉) . A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived.One morning they arrived to find the schoolhouse engulfed in flames (被火焰吞没) . They dragged the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital. His mother was told that he was sure to die. Even if he were to survive, he would be a cripple (瘸子) throughout his life.But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be a cripple. Much to be the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just dangled (悬荡) there, lifeless. Ultimately he was released from the hospital. But his determination to walk was as strong as ever. At home, when he was not in bed, he was limited to a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then stake by stake, he began dragging himself along the fence, and decided that he would walk. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron persistence and his resolute determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk slowly, then to walk by himself and then to run. He began to walk to school, then run to school, to run for the sheer joy of running. Later in college he made the track team.In February 1934, in New York City's famed Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run-this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.41．Why did the little boy go to school early every day?A．To decorate the classroom.B．To clean the classroom.C．To light the stove.D．To give teachers and classmates a surprise. 42．What can be concluded from Paragraph 2?A．The little boy was badly burned.B．The little boy lost the lower part of his body.C．The little boy was crippled.D．The little boy's mother was sure he was going to die.43．What problem did the little boy face when he left hospital?A．He didn't have long to live.B．He might never walk again.C．He had no motor ability.D．He lost his legs.44．How did the little boy walk again?A．By throwing himself from the wheelchair.B．By climbing on the fence.C．By pulling himself along the fence each day.D．By joining the track team.45．Dr. Glenn Cunningham's 1934 race result wasA．depressing.B．challenging C．promising D．impressiveMany animals and plants are endangered in the world today. These endangered species are threatened with becoming extinct, meaning they will no longer exist on Earth. Examples include the Cuban Macaw and the Sri Lankan Legume Tree. Hunting, and collecting of the Macaw bird for pets, led to its extinction. Whilst the main reason the native Sri Lankan Legume Tree went extinct was due to habitat loss from development in the 20h century. The main cause for animals and plants disappearing is often a disruption (扰乱) to the food chain due to hunting, habitat loss or even the introduction of invasive (入侵的) species.Every living thing from one-celled animals to a blue whale needs to eat. Nature is connected and controlled by many fragile (脆弱的) food chains. A food chain describes who eats whom in a habitat. When one of the links in a food chain is no longer present — for example, a species goes extinct — the food chain breaks and sometimes this can cause other animals to disappear and the whole system can become imbalanced or even collapsed.Humans can have disastrous effects on food chains. When people first explored the world, they took animal and plant species from their home countries to the places they explored and settled in. They did not realise the consequences of introducing invasive species. By doing so, they were disrupting the natural food chains of the areas they explored.Nowadays there are strict rules controlling the movement of animals and plants between countries. But some parts of the world are still experiencing problems with invasive species introduced hundreds of years ago.With rising awareness of how we affect the natural environment, hopefully we can learn to protect these food chains and help them to thrive. Otherwise the continued loss of species will eventually mean our own extinction.46．What could be inferred from Paragraph 1?A．Macaws are extinct because of habitat lossB．Sri Lankan Legume Tree became extinct because of seed collecting.C．The invasive species may lead to the extinction of the native species.D．The main cause of plants extinction is hunting.47．What can we learn about food chain from Paragraph 2?A．It only affects one-celled animals.B．It decides the balance of the whole system.C．It is always broken by invasive species.D．It is controlled by fragile nature. 48．According to Paragraph 3, how did humans affect food chains in areas they explored?A．By settling in.B．By taking away native species.C．By hunting local animals.D．By introducing foreign species.49．The underlined word “thrive” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.A．to continue to live or existB．to grow toward full stature or physical or mental maturityC．to become, and continue to be, successful, strong, healthy, etc.D．to get away from an unpleasant or dangerous situation50．According to the author, which of the following is correct?A．The food chain will always find a way to be balanced.B．The natural world experiences times of damage but it always can recover.C．Human activity, in all forms, tends to cause great destruction to the natural world.D．Despite the climate change caused by humans, plants and animals will go extinct naturally.Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest place on Earth. It's also the driest. With annual rainfall close to zero, Antarctica is technically a desert. Covering about 14 million square kilometers around the South Pole, it is the fifth largest continent in the world. A high mountain range, the Trans-Antarctic range, runs from east to west, cutting the continent in two. There are volcanoes too, but they are not very active. Antarctica holds 90% of the world's ice, and most of its fresh water (70%) is in a frozen state, of course. 98% of the surface is covered permanently in the ice cap. On average it is two kilometers thick, but in some places it reaches a depth of five kilometers. Strong winds driven by gravity blow from the pole to the coastline, while other winds blow round the coast. It is difficult to imagine a more inhospitable (不宜居的) place.Yet Antarctica is full of wildlife, which has adapted to its extreme conditions. There are different types of penguins, flying birds, seals, and whales. But the long Antarctic winter night,which lasts for 182 days (the longest period of continuous darkness on earth) , as well as the extreme cold and lack of rainfall, means that few types of plants can survive there. Only two types of flowering plants are found, while there are no trees on the large continent. The rest of the plants are made up of mosses, algae and lichen. Some forms of algae have adapted to grow on ice.Most of the ice has been there for thousands of years. As a result, it has become a window on the past, and can give researchers lots of useful information. Gases and minerals, in the form of volcanic dust trapped in the ice, can tell us a lot about what the world's climate was like in past ages. Antarctic rocks are also very important for research. Most of them are meteorites (陨石) from outer space. One rock, known as the “Alien” rock, may contain evidence of extra-terrestrial (外星人) life.Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. But more than two thousand years ago Greek geographers believed that there was a large land mass in the south which balanced the land in the north. They called it Anti-Arktikos, or Antarctica: the opposite of Arctic (北极) . When Europeans discovered the continent of America in 15 century, the great age of exploration began. However, progress to the South Pole was slow. Not until the late 18h century did the British explorer James Cook cross the Antarctic Circle, but he never saw land. Then in 1895, a Norwegian called Carstens Borchgrevink became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic mainland. The race to the pole had begun. It was finally reached on 11th December, 1911 by the Norwegian Roald Amundsen.51．In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to _________.A．tell us about the history of the discovery of AntarcticaB．tell us that Antarctica is completely covered in thick iceC．introduce the distribution of fresh water in AntarcticaD．introduce the basic information about Antarctica52．What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 2?A．All Antarctic plants grow on ice.B．Animals can't survive the Antarctic polar night.C．Antarctica has a great variety of plants.D．Despite the extreme conditions in Antarctica, many plants and animals live there. 53．What does the author intend to show with the example of the “Alien (外星人) ” rock?A．There are aliens in Antarctica.B．Meteorites all contain evidence of alienexistence.C．There's a lot to study in Antarctica.D．Rocks are rare in Antarctica.54．What could we learn from the last paragraph?A．The Greek geographers found the Antarctica.B．James Cook was the first explorer who reached the South Pole.C．A Norwegian reached the South Pole first.D．Humans first set foot on the Antarctic mainland in 1911.55．What makes the best title for the passage?A．A Race to the South Pole B．Antarctica: the Last ContinentC．The wildlife of Antarctica D．Antarctica: A desert阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Wait for the right time.” What we never understand is that the only right time is now. Start this moment, and you’ll succeed. If you wait for the right moment in the foggy future, you may be left to wait for that future and this wait goes on.Once you know what your enemy is, you should keep yourself ready to face it. Now let me discuss how to deal with it.Waiting for the Right TimeIf you’re doing an important task, you just feel that this is not the right moment. Sometimes you feel there are some prerequisites (先决条件) undone. Or sometimes you think someone else would stand behind to support you.What to do: Learn there is no time better than now. If you want to start a new project, just begin — call your team, draft the process and work. If you want to start a new hobby, buy the tools required, get a teacher or a good book and start off. Don’t wait till the next weekend.IndecisionWhen you’re ready and excited about doing something, you sit at the table, but suddenly you’re stuck and don’t know how to proceed. Worries suffer from writer’s block. Computer programmers get stuck when collecting ideas. This is natural and happens even to experts. Professionals get some solutions, but most people feel discouraged and start losing interest in the target.What to do: First, you must have a mentor or a friend in the same field that can help you find an inspiration. Try to prepare a track for your course with a deadline. Plan well. If you are writing a novel, write in your planner that you’ll finish the character sketch for the hero on Saturday. On Sunday, you’ll write about how the hero meets the girl. In the same way, prepare tasks for every day.These are the two causes of procrastination. Learn to fight these and keep such situations from happening. Try not to sit idly or do worthless chores. Keep some time separate for each kind of work you have to do every day and stick to it.36．The first paragraph is written to ________.A．attract readers’ attention B．explain what procrastination is C．introduce the topic to be discussed D．warn readers against procrastination 37．If you feel this is the right time to do a task, you will ________.A．wait for nobody to lend you a hand B．get something important done first C．believe help is never to come to you D．expect nobody else to stand by you 38．If you are stuck and don’t know what to do, what would happen to you?A．You might sit at the table with experts.B．You might lose confidence and interest. C．You might borrow ideas from professionals.D．You might solve your problem by yourself.39．What does the underlined word “mentor” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Advisor.B．Engineer.C．Physician.D．Governor.40．By writing the text, the author intends to ________.A．warn readers against indecisionB．offer some useful advice to readers about procrastinationC．analyze the cause of procrastinationD．stress the benefits of being punctual (守时的)I stole your dog today. No, I didn’t set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like ... the word “rubbish”comes to mind.I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the “cross”that she dragged behind her would have wrapped around a tree until starvation(饥饿) or thirst killed her.She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching(畏缩) when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won’t beat her, in fact, she rarely leaves my side. She’s even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I watched from the window as she attempted to play with the other dogs. No, it’s clear she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.It’s not clear yet whether she’ll remain here or whether I’ll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is one bit of stolen “property” who is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, plead(申辩) with the courts that she is rightfully yours ... I'm convinced this is the best “crime” I've ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.41．What is the author's purpose in writing the word “rubbish” in Paragraph 1?A．To stress the importance of the theft.B．To tell how dirty the dog was.C．To show the author's anger.D．To point out where the dog was picked up42．What's the author's attitude towards the dog?A．Amused.B．Angry.C．Shocked.D．Sympathetic. 43．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．the dog is not lovelyB．the dog tried to find a kind masterC．the dog was treated badly by its former masterD．the author will be charged with stealing a dog44．All the following statements showed us the dog's recovery from her nature EXCEPT________.A．playing with other dogs B．barking at a catC．not missing her former master D．waving her tail to make greetings 45．What did the author think of his theft?A．He was afraid of being punished.B．He thought he had to do it.C．He believed that the law would allow him to do so.D．He did it with pride.The discovery of the Komodo Dragons is one of the most important zoological (动物学的) surprises of the 20th century. Before 1912 it was completely unknown and it was believed that there were no more large lizards (蜥蜴) in the world. Then, in that year, a party of fishermen stopped at an almost completely-unknown small island in a group of islands. The fishermen brought back stories of a huge, prehistoric animal living there. The island’s name was Komodo. The largest of these lizards was over ten feet from nose to tail. Komodo dragons have also been discovered on several neighboring islands.Are the dragons dangerous to humans? Yes. A Swiss tourist who sat down to have a rest while the other people of his tour group went ahead was attacked and eaten by a dragon. All that was left was a piece of his camera. A number of other people have been killed by dragon attacks over the years. The dragons can eat up to 80 percent of their own weight in a single meal. Their attack way is to wait behind trees, then rush forward and give a single large bite to the person or other animal. Most Komodo dragons prefer wild boar (野猪) or deer as their meals, but they will try to attack and get almost every other animal they can find, including other dragons. The largest dragons weigh around 150 kilos. Though the Komodo dragons can see well, they do most of their hunting based on smell. A dragon can recognize a certain smellfrom several miles when the wind is right. They will hunt when they have to, and these large lizards are more than happy to get an already dead animal when they come across one. 46．How was the Komodo dragon discovered?A．Scientists had been looking for it and found itB．It was found by chance by some fishermen.C．Some fishermen looked for it on an island.D．It was discovered by some tourists.47．Komodo dragons have been found________.A．only on Komodo B．on several islands near Komodo Island C．on many islands in the world D．on all the islands near Komodo Island 48．These large lizards are dangerous to people, because________.A．when people attack them, they will fight backB．humans are their favourite foodC．they will attack and eat humans if they find themD．they are much bigger than people49．A Komodo dragon will eat all the following EXCEPT________.A．deer B．humans C．trees D．Komodo dragons50．Komodo dragons________.A．always hunt by smellingB．never hunt by looking with their eyesC．can always smell something several miles awayD．hunt with both their noses and eyes“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communication satellite. A modern manufacturing system is surely high tech.High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products inAmerican stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens(微波炉), etc.“State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970’s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company would say that its computers were “state of the art”.Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “sate of the art” became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.51．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell how “high tech” and “state of the art” have developed.B．To give examples of high tech.C．To tell what “high tech” and “state of the art” are.D．To describe very modern technology.52．What can we learn from the passage?A．American stores could provide new kinds of products to people.B．High tech describes a technology that is not useful.C．“State of the art” is not as popular as “high tech”.D．A wooden plough pulled by animals is “state of the art”.53．Which of the following example is NOT high tech?A．A microwave oven.B．A home computer.C．A hand pump.D．A satellite.54．Which of the following statement is NOT true?A．Since the computer revolution, the expression “state of the art” has become popular. B．“State of the art” means something that is the best one can buy.C．With the rapid development of computer technology, a state of the art computer may easily become old.D．All kinds of products are “state of the art” nowadays.55．The best title for the passage is________.A．Computer Technology B．High Tech and State of the Art C．Most Advanced Technology D．Two New Products四、阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

She intended to share the challenges and sorrows in her life with her sister. However, when she dialed the area code 01225, she accidentally punched in 01275 instead. This innocent mistake led her to reach Jones in Bristol, England.Recalling about the fateful phone call, Jones said: “When Charlotte realized her error, she apologized sincerely. She was extremely polite and charming. Besides, Charlotte’s warmth and openness were immediately evident.”In the following weeks, they called each other several times. Through their conversations, Jones discovered that Charlotte, who lived in Cornwall, England, had been trying to reach her sister.Charlotte told that during a divorce with her husband, Jones had become a source of comfort for her. She expressed gratitude because Jones’ kindness and encouragement as a stranger had lifted her spirits. Over the next several years, the two forged a strong friendship through their phone conversations, discussing their children — Charlotte, a mother of two, and Jones, a father of three.On Thanksgiving Day, Jones and his wife and children traveled to Cornwall. Finally meeting face-to-face, Charlotte exclaimed, “Oh, it was an remarkable day. The happiest Thanksgiving of my life, which I will never forget!” The sun shone brightly that day, warm as spring. It was a perfect day.After their encounter, Jones posted a photo of himself with Charlotte on Facebook, along with a heartfelt message: “The distance between people in this world is just a wrong phone number. It’s truly unbelievable.”Charlotte’s innocent mistake taught us an important lesson about the unexpected connections that can arise in life. Taking the initiative to reach out can lead to meaningful relationships that enrich our lives in ways we never imagined. We are reminded to cherish the unexpected connections that come into our lives and embrace the beautiful moments that they bring.41．Why did Charlotte make a mistake when dialing the phone number?A．She was not familiar with the area codes.B．She dialed the wrong area code accidentally.C．The phone she used was not working properly.D．Her sister gave her a wrong number on purpose.42．What was Jones’ first impression of Charlotte?A．Kind and open.B．Calm and helpful.C．Polite and warm.D．Clever and brave.43．Why is Charlotte so grateful to Jones?A．Because he tried to help her to find her sister.B．Because he comforted her every day by phone.C．Because he helped her with a lot of housework.D．Because he cheered her up during her hard time.44．The Thanksgiving Day was remarkable because ________.A．Charlotte went to see Jones alone B．Charlotte called Jones again and againC．it was sunny and warm that day D．the two families met face to face 45．What does the author want to tell us through this article?A．People can form a strong friendship through accidental connections.B．Phone numbers can often lead to misunderstandings and mistakes.C．Distance is a barrier to building friendships and relationships.D．A person’s life can change dramatically because of the awful divorce.It turns out that humans aren’t the only ones taking mathematics tests. A group of cognitive (认知的) scientists are training bees to perform simple addition and subtraction (减法).For the experiment, the scientists lured individual bees with sugar water. “She flies back to the hive, gives it to the other bees, and two minutes later she’ll come back and do it again,” Dyer said, a scientist from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. They taught and tested 14 bees over the course of the experiment—one bee at a time.To learn the rules, a bee first would be shown cards printed with a number of shapes in one of two colors: blue, if they were supposed to add one to the shapes on the card, or yellow, if they were meant to subtract one shape. Then, the bee would choose an answer to the problem by flying to one of two presented solutions. If it chose well, it found itself near a solution of delicious sugar water. If it chose poorly, however, it would be punished with a bad-tasting drink. The researchers found that each bee picked the correct answer in both addition and subtraction trials about 70percent of the time.Dyer said, “Problem-solving requires both long-term memory and short-term memory. Long-term memory allows the bees to remember that blue and yellow equate to separate mathematical rules. Short-term memory lets them recall the actual numbers in a particular problem.”“It is assumed that humans are very complex, and there’s a decreasing level of complexity going away from humans,” said Muth, an animal congnition researcher who wasn’t involved inthis study. But in fact, complex awareness, like the mathematical problems solved by bees, can be made up of relativlely simple components.That doesn’t explain why bees might have evolved the ability to figure out mathematical problems, though. One possibility is that bees didn’t evolve to do addition and subtraction. They just evolved to be smart enough to figure it out.Dyer said that observing a tiny animal with a brain that has less than a million neurons (神经元) learn a very complex task makes him think, “Wow, what can humans achieve?”46．What are the scientists training bees to do in the experiment?A．Flying on blue and yellow cards.B．Adding shapes to different cards.C．Solving simple mathematical problems.D．Tasting water of two flavors.47．What would happen if the bees chose the wrong answer to the problem?A．They would be punished with a bad-tasting drink.B．They would be treated with sugar drink.C．They would be permitted to leave the hive.D．They would be given a beautiful shape card.48．What role does memory play in problem-solving?A．Long-term memory plays a bigger part.B．Long-term memory contributes to recalling.C．Short-term memory facilitates remembering.D．Short-term memory is as important as long-term memory.49．What can we learn from the passage?A．Bees are as complex as man in many aspects.B．Bees are by nature good at mathematics.C．Complex awareness can consist of simple components.D．Bees learn to solve maths problems under certain pressure.50．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Human achievements can be limitless.B．Human brains deserve good study.C．Humans must fully develop neurons.D．Humans are good at observation.I used to read tens of books every month. But as I grew up, things changed. I find itincreasingly difficult to find the time and motivation to sit down and read a book from cover to cover.To keep track of the books I’ve read, I turned to Goodreads, a social networking platform for book lovers. It’s a great way to share recommendations with friends and show off your literary progress. However, if we can’t achieve reading goals or can’t catch up with our friends, it can also exacerbate the feeling of “not doing enough” of your favorite hobby.Halimah Begum, a literature editor from London, understands the struggle. “With Goodreads constantly tracking my reading, I am often worrying and feeling the pressure to read more books.” she says. “Sometimes, I feel under great pressure because I don’t want to fall behind on my goal and not reach it at the end of the year.”I asked Nicole Villegas, an occupational therapist, about our obsession with tracking everything we do. She explained that it can give us a sense of control and provide us with a tool to measure our progress. “When we track things like the books we’ve read or the friends we’ve visited, we’re essentially gathering data about our hobbies,” she says. “It’s a powerful tool to help us look back on our progress and give us a sense of accomplishment.”Unfortunately, the social aspect of apps like Goodreads doesn’t help. “Setting goals or tracking progress on public platforms adds a layer of extrinsic motivation that can also contribute to a sense of pressure to perform or give in to social comparisons,” Villegas says. “When it comes to reading, people may be tempted to finish books that aren’t a good fit instead of following their interests.”Despite this, we often forget the point of doing hobbies in the first place. “Reading shouldn’t be something we have to ‘smash’, but just what we do for the joy of it. Maintain the feeling as you navigate your book-tracking app and if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or pressured, set it aside,” Villegas continues. “At the end of the day, it’s you and your book.”51．What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Worsen.B．Affect.C．Relieve.D．Improve. 52．What does Halimah Begum think of tracking one’s reading?A．It is a waste of time.B．It makes one feel stressed.C．It encourages one to read more.D．It helps one to enjoy reading.53．Why do we like to track everything we do according to Nicole Villegas?A．To show off to our friends.B．To try to spend our time wisely.C．To find what suits us most.D．To obtain a sense of achievement. 54．What’s Nicole Villegas’s suggestion about using book-tracking apps?A．To avoid using it.B．To use it reasonably.C．To rely more on it.D．To make full use of it.55．What’s the main idea of this article?A．The best way to track reading progress — Goodreads.B．The necessity to ignore social media and focus on hobbies.C．The positive and negative effects of tracking our hobbies.D．The importance of setting goals to help people stay motivated.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

It was a magical idea to have it in my class. Every day after breaks, the class would gather around and listen to the story I was reading. When the kids were close, they found the courage to share their stories, dreams and fears. The chair was part of my job, part of me.Unfortunately, I became unwell and couldn’t keep teaching. I experienced severe depression and anxiety and was forced to leave the job. With my life as a teacher over, I needed a new path. And I didn’t have to look far.My husband and I adopted one of my former students in 2017. The arduous work of parenting a child who came to us at 9 years old changed our lives in unexpected ways. It called on the part of me that learns to be a good mother. We spent countless hours snuggling up (依偎) with books-healing, bonding and solidifying our family. This gave me a new purpose.I joined a support group of local moms. For about a year, I met with them weekly for walks or coffee.We came together to share. Then I started giving and receiving help. I gave driving practice to a single mom with her learner’s license and received emotional support in return. I also took her son on hikes around the city. Another woman encouraged me to buy a stand-up board and gave me lessons on surfing.My family, my books, finding a new purpose and belonging in a community — these are fulfilling the sense of self I used to prize as a teacher. I learned my identity doesn’t need to change. I’m still honoring those core values whether or not I’m working as a teacher.And what about that rocking chair? I looked back at the text message. My answer was no, I do not need the chair. I’ll let it go to a new teacher.41．What made the rocking chair special to the author?A．It had a magical effect on stories.B．It was a symbol of comfort.C．It was given by her former colleague.D．It represented her teacher identity. 42．According to the passage, the author adopted a former student to ________. A．realize her dream of being a parent.B．become a good teacher again. C．explore new possibilities in life.D．repay the student for his rocking chair. 43．What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Simple and dull.B．Challenging and tiring. C．Concrete and supportive.D．Lovely and pleasant.44．What did the author do in the support group?A．She gave lessons to children.B．She provided aid for people with depression.C．She gained knowledge in driving and sports.D．She offered and received support. 45．How does the author feel now?A．More confident than before.B．Equally content as before. C．Thrilled about her new life.D．Anxious to return to teaching.Imagine a tasty bug landing on the web of a hungry spider. How does the spider detect its prey? Spiders don’t have ears like we do, and many have poor eyesight. But they can sense vibrations, like those that happen when an unlucky insect touches their webs. And instead of eardrums, spiders hear using tiny, sensitive hairs that move in response to sounds.Scientists recently learned that spiders can pick up sounds in another way: through their webs. “It’s basically using the web as the ear,” said Ron Miles, a professor of mechanical engineering at Binghamton University in New York.Miles and his team studied orb-weaving spiders, which make wheel-shaped webs. The scientists placed the spiders in a specially designed quiet room. Then they played sounds on a loudspeaker. They tracked how the spiders reacted to different sounds played on a loudspeaker.The spiders turned their bodies toward the sound. Some crouched (蹲伏) and stretched. Others raised their front legs. The scientists said this suggested that the spiders knew where the sounds came from.Miles said that spiders use their web like a giant extended ear. If an insect is flying nearby, for instance, “that’s going to cause the web to vibrate because of the sound,” Miles said. “That kind of gets the spider’s attention.”Spiders might even use their webs to tune in to a variety of sounds. Miles said they suspect that the spider is able to adjust the web’s tension, or how tightly they stretch the web. This way, it can pick up certain types of sounds.Miles hopes the research on spiders will help us find better ways to detect sound. Most microphones today work by sensing pressure and turning it into an electronic signal. But in the natural world, “spiders aren’t sensing pressure”.Miles said: “Most animals don’t hear that way; they sense the motion of the air.” Future microphones, like those used in hearing aids, could someday have a design like this in mind.The next time you see a spider, Miles suggested, watch how it reacts to sounds, like your footsteps — though what those noises mean to the spider remains somewhat of a mystery. “Spiders don’t have good facial expressions,” Miles laughed. “It’s hard to read them.”46．Spiders know an insect lands on their web by ________.A．seeing it trying to escape the web B．sensing the motion it makesC．using its ears to hear it moving D．growing tiny hairs to find it47．Scientists play sounds on loudspeakers in the experiment to ________.A．observe how the spiders would react B．assist the spiders in catching their prey C．encourage the spiders to build new webs D．protect people from spiders48．Why do spiders need to use their webs like a giant ear?A．It keeps them safe from dangerous animals.B．It shows them when they need a new web.C．It helps them detect insects flying nearby.D．It lets them communicate with other spiders.49．Spiders adjust the tension in their webs to ________.A．block out sounds that scare away insects B．help them pick up certain types of sounds C．allow them to make sounds that attract prey D．make sounds that get other spiders’ attention50．What does Miles believe is the significance of studying spiders?A．It could lead to hearing aids that sense pressure.B．It shows that even small animals can make noise.C．It could allow people to sense the force created by sounds.D．It could result in microphones that sense the motion of air.“If you were bored, it wasn’t because there was nothing to do. It was because you hadn’t put enough effort into.” That was my Mum’s philosophy. Boredom has become trendy.Some new studies show how boredom is good for creativity and innovation, as well as mental health. It is found that people were more creative following the completion of a boring and dull task. When people are bored, they have an increase in “associative thought”—the process of making new connections between ideas, which is linked to innovative thinking. These studies are impressive, but in reality, the benefits of boredom may be related to having time to clear your mind, be quiet or daydream.In our world, it seems unrealistic that boredom could occur at all. Yet, there are valid reasons boredom may feel so painful. As it turns out, boredom might signal the fact that you have a need that isn’t being met. Our always-on world of social media may result in more connections, but they are superficial (表面的) and can get in the way of building a real sense of belonging. Feeling bored may signal the desire for a greater sense of community and the feeling that you fit in with others around you. So take the step of joining an organization tobuild face-to-face relationships. You’ll find depth that you won’t get from your screen no matter how many likes you get on your post.Bored people often report that they feel a limited sense of meaning. If you want to reduce boredom and increase your sense of meaning, seek work where you can make a unique contribution, or find a cause you can support with your time and talent. If your definition of boredom is being quiet, mindful, and reflective, keep it up. But if you’re struggling with real boredom and the emptiness it provokes, consider whether you might seek new connections and more significant challenges. These are the things that will genuinely ease boredom and make you more effective in the process.51．What was the opinion of the author’s mom towards boredom?A．She thought it a philosophical question.B．She considered her life was boring.C．She believed it indicates having too much energy.D．She thought less effort led to boredom.52．What have studies found about boredom?A．It boosts innovative thinking.B．It is a result of doing boring tasks.C．It helps people connect with others.D．It does harm to one’s mental health.53．What do we learn about social media from the passage?A．It may be a barrier to expanding one’s connections.B．It may get in the way of enhancing one’s social status.C．It may prevent people from developing a genuine sense of community.D．It may make people feel that they ought to fit in with the outside world.54．What does the author suggest people do to get rid of boredom?A．Count the likes they get on their posts.B．Reflect on how they relate to others.C．Engage in real-life interactions.D．Participate in online discussions.55．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．The importance of doing something original.B．Strategies on dealing with boredom.C．Ways to increase the meaning of life.D．The distinction between two types of boredom.四、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
