Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

Dinosaurs Alive at Cedar PointSandusky, OHSee the “age of dinosaurs” come to life with interactive exhibits based on real fossil evidence. At the Dinosaurs Alive section of Cedar Point park, visitors can walk among more than 50 life-sized dinosaurs which move and roar.

The Chicago Children’s MuseumChicago, ILThe Chicago Children’s Museum is filled with plenty of activities for kids of all ages, but one of the coolest has to be the Dinosaur Exhibition.

Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geotag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well known locations written on her artificial leg.“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback. “My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I’ve been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.4．What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?A．She enjoys her traveling across the globe.B．She suffers little from her leg amputation.C．She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.D．She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.5．What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The Continent.B．The pictures.C．The leg.D．The locations.6．Gallagher can best be described as ________．A．helpful and ambitious B．friendly and generous C．determined and creative D．independent and sensible7．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A．Never Too Late to Share B．A Special Artificial LegC．An Outstanding Photographer D．Gallagher’s Summer HolidaysFish cats are a kind of cats that love water and love to fish. They are like tigers and lions, only much smaller, around twice the size of our average pet cats. They live in wetlands of South Asia and mangrove forests(红树林)of South and Southeast Asia. Like many endangered species, fish cats were in danger of dying out more than twenty years ago, mainly because of the great international need for fish food and the people s cutting of the mangroves at an extremely fast speed.Mangroves of Southeast Asia are home to a great many fantastic species, like fish cats, turtles, shorebirds and others. Mangroves can protect soil, and they can be the first line of protection between storms, tsunamis and the millions of people who live next to them. The fact is that mangroves can store almost five to ten times more CO2 than other forests. So protecting mangroves may well be like protecting five to ten times more of other forests.Ten years ago, in South India, many people came together to change the future of their home. In less than 10 years, with international support, the state forest departments and the local people worked together to restore over 20,000 acres of unproductive fish and shrimp farms back into mangroves. Now experts are working with them in helping study and protecting the mangroves as well as the species living in them. Fish and shrimp farmers are now willing to work with experts to test the harvest of nature protection like fishes, turtles and other species in mangroves. The local farmers are encouraged to protect and plantmangroves where they have been lost. A win win-win for fish cats, local people and the global ecosystem(生态系统)is being built.8．What made the fish cats endangered?A．Being too large and need for fish food.B．Cutting of mangroves and lack of water. C．Less fish and overcutting of mangroves.D．Natural enemies and environment pollution.9．Why are mangroves so important?A．They can prevent extreme weather.B．They are perfect home to all species. C．They can take in more CO2 effectively.D．They help plants grow better on the soil. 10．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Work in protecting shrimps.B．Efforts to protect the mangroves. C．Ways of turning farms into forests.D．Changes of South India in I0 years. 11．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．Man and Nature B．Ways to Protect Fish CatsC．The Restoration of Wetlands D．Fish Cats and Mangroves ProtectionA team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infrared radiations (红外线照射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically employs heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up—by up to 8℃.Previously, products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, thesprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost-effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear, however, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent. Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.12．How does the new coating work to remove fog?A．By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.B．By keeping cool air away from the object.C．By creating a thin film of water on the surface.D．By absorbing infrared radiations to heat the coating.13．Why does the author mention previous anti-fogging products?A．To stress the advantages of the new coating.B．To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.C．To prove the difficulty of creating anti-fogging products.D．To explain the reason for the anti-fogging coating being popular.14．What is the limitation of the new coating?A．It is considerably expensive.B．It depends on sunlight to work.C．It lakes too much time to produce.D．It is difficult to clean and maintain.15．What do the researchers plan to do nextA．Seek more materials as the coating.B．Apply for a patent for the invention.C．Develop the product for more practical uses.D．Explore the environmental impact of the coating.二、七选五Different parents have different reactions to learning that their children might be experiencing bullying (欺凌). Some may believe that the bullying is a way to “toughen them up”. Others might become so angry that they want to face the bullies themselves or may pushfind ways to solve the problem. Here are some suggestions that experts recommend.Talk about bullying. One of the best ways to help your bullied child is to simply talk about bullying. Not about their bully specifically or the trouble they’re going through, but why bullying happens, how bullies typically work, and what they can do to make it stop and help others. They also need to understand that bullies are never to blame for bullying because far too many of them can feel guilty and even become depressed. ____17____ ____18____ A lot of kids won’t be comfortable coming to their parents for help for a variety of reasons, so it’s important that you do everything you can to show them that talking to you about a problem is something safe. Make sure they know that you care and that you’re willing to listen no matter what, but don’t press them for information or they might retreat further into themselves.Document everything. ____19____ School authorities will often want proof if you go to them with accusation, and the court will certainly need it if it gets to the point that you need to make it a legal matter. Just as importantly, hanging on to things like e-mails can really help if your son or daughter is being targeted by anonymous bullies, because authorities sometimes use that information to track down the bully.Go to officials. Letting bullying go too far can lead to all kinds of potential physical and psychological damage. ____20____ Meetings like this can go one of two ways — you can focus on the problem by yourself and make actions against the bullies, or you can work with school officials to start programs that educate their students about bullying and seek to control it in the school.A．Keep an eye out for your child.B．Make yourself available to your child.C．These choices are rarely the right way to handle bullying.D．Sometimes you have to go to school officials to get it stopped.E．You have a number of options available to you depending on your personality.F．If there are records of your child being bullied, it is vital to hold on to the evidence. G．In this way, you can arm your child with information they can use to solve the problem.三、完形填空That year I was eleven and in sixth grade. In Wethersfield, all sixth-graders arecircle and something of that kind.I was ready to participate in these ____25____. Falling backward and fitting into a small circle were nothing to me. Crossing over a stream with nothing holding me up but a rope was brave, but I could ____26____ it.Finally the day came when my sixth grade class would travel to climb and rappel(绕绳下滑) a mountain in Southington. Those people who were too ____27____ were allowed to practice climbing and rappelling a smaller area of rocks, but that wasn’t for me. I could climb the big mountain.Twenty minutes later, my ____28____ arrived. As I was well ____29____, I set off at once. I got a quarter of the way up but couldn’t seem to get any _____30_____. I tried and tried. I began to put myself down and cry. There was nothing more _____31_____ than my classmates were looking at me. All I kept _____32_____ was “Lisa, you can do it.”“Try to fit your foot in there. _____33_____, Lisa. You’re almost there.” It was then that I thought to myself, “Why am I crying? I can do this.” Almost _____34_____ I went on going up the mountain. Within five minutes I successfully _____35_____ it to the top. 21．A．forced B．reported C．required D．reminded 22．A．idea B．result C．question D．road 23．A．run B．introduce C．experience D．describe 24．A．begging B．thinking C．promising D．trusting 25．A．lectures B．discussions C．stories D．activities 26．A．manage B．discover C．change D．need27．A．motivated B．noisy C．frightened D．annoyed 28．A．friend B．turn C．teacher D．day 29．A．relaxed B．balanced C．organized D．prepared 30．A．quicker B．warmer C．farther D．longer 31．A．awkward B．amazing C．annoying D．exciting 32．A．shouting B．remembering C．learning D．hearing 33．A．Watch out B．Come on C．Hurry up D．Walk along 34．A．completely B．carefully C．dangerously D．immediately 35．A．reached B．made C．got D．took四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Chinese sports brand Li Ning also had a new design at New York Fashion Week in February 2019—it is the second time the brand shows its design at the NYFW. Chen Lijie, the brand’s designer, says his design comes from old Chinese truth (真理) that man is part of nature. “Chinese brands don’t use ‘cheap’ as a selling point any more. They are impressive and can go head to head with foreign brands (外国品牌).” says Shaun Rein, director of China Market ResearchGroup. Rome is not built in a day. Chinese designers spend much time trying to design the best and most fashionable clothes.These Chinese brands become so popular perhaps because of the easy online shopping and the fact that China is growing stronger than before. Also, more and more people begin to like Chinese culture.“We want to replace (代替) the words ‘made in China’ with ‘designed in China’, but there is a long way to go.” said Chinese designer Aric Chen.

Why do Chinese brands become so popular now?A．People can spend less money on Chinese brands.B．More people show an interest in Chinese culture.C．China becomes the strongest country in the world.D．Chinese brands make online shopping become easy.35. What is the best title for this article?A．Li Ning’s fashion show in New York.B．Chinese design heading to the world.C．Chinese designers’ wonderful fashion ideas.D．“Designed in China” replaces “made in China”.36.

重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高一上学期期末模拟英语试题试题
重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高一上学期期末模拟英语试题试题一、阅读理解Are You a Moring Person?Mornings are not for everyone. Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief. But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours. So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts - from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros (生活管理达人) — to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant for even the most after-hours of night owls.1. Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four. “It’s normal to have one or two awakenings, but more than that leaves us feeling groggy (昏昏沉沉) in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,” explains Shelby Harris, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.2. The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good. Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep! Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time. Instead, be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of sleep, so you can wake up alert and ready to go. 3. Don’t ease into your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on—checking e-mail, scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first. “Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done, but it also leaves you with a burst of accomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,” says Jason Selk, coauthor of Organize Tomorrow Today.4. Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely to need a break anyway, and save the morning for the important stuff.1．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To help us to get the most out of our mornings.B．To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C．To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.D．To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day.2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B．To be an early bird, better forget about the snooze button.C．It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.D．Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment.3．Where can we find the passage?A．Classified Advertisement B．Travel BrochureC．Life and Study D．Scientific JournalSitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered,even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.4．How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name?A．Anxious.B．Angry.C．Surprised.D．Settled.5．After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________.A．criticise the review process B．stay longer in the Sahara DesertC．apply to the original project again D．put his heart and soul into the lab work6．According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________.A．demanding B．inspiring C．misleading D．amusing7．What can we learn from this passage?A．An invitation is a reputation.B．An innovation is a resolution.C．A rejection can be a redirection.D．A reflection can be a restriction.An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China. In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hash tags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city’s past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into theiraction plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life,” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.8．What’s the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people?A．It mainly focuses on urban sightseeing.B．Social media offer many tempting videos.C．Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.D．Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.A．Astonishing.B．Rewarding.C．Embarrassing.D．Shrinking.10．Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk?A．An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.B．A holiday travel to hurriedly visit crowded landmarks in Shanghai.C．A free walk including visiting museums and old towns in Qingdao.D．A leisurely tour along Qiantang River to experience city transformation.11．What have some governments done to promote Citywalk?A．Facilities in the museums have been enhanced.B．Cooperation has been strengthened among cities.C．Opportunities have been offered to third-tier cities.D．Specific public transportation routes have been introduced.We all have a tendency to fake laugh, particularly when authority figures in our lives try to make a joke that just doesn’t land. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic and perceptual differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is“really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration -- or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, the lead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “The result is that there are subtle features of the laugh that sound like speech, and ... people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.”People have also proven to be emotionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” said Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London.McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state,” she said.So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our instincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them.According to McGettigan, that’s a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, it’s good to be able to detect if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if they’re not,” she said. “Because you don’t want to be fooled.”12．What do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study?A．What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.B．Which part of the brain controls the sound of our laughter.C．Why do people need to fake laugh when they don’t want to.D．How to laugh as genuinely as possible when you are faking it.13．Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_______.A．you seem more concentrated when you laugh for realB．you take more breaths when you try to fake a laughC．a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pauseD．a real laugh usually lasts longer than a fake one14．Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant?A．Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain.B．People may notice fake laughter without knowing why.C．People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak.D．Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech.15．What has Carolyn McGettigan’s 2014 study proven?A．Certain social situations may require us to fake a laugh.B．Evolution has enabled us to recognize other’s emotions.C．By instincts, we are able to tell a person’s mental state.D．We can sense other’s emotional state when they laugh.Will Traditional TV Ever Be Replaced by Streaming?For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama, and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century. 16 Since then, British TV viewers have enjoyed the launch of commercial TV, the addition of Channel 4, and then Channel 5, and finally the birth of paid services through satellite and cable.A Slow DeclineWhile the uptake of TV ownership exploded, the decline of television's dominance has been slow and has been going on for the past decade. 17 Streaming services have given us access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of classic shows and blockbuster movies.Changing Viewing HabitsIn the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on YouTube and streaming services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 30 minutes and 26 minutes per day respectively. 18Still the King19 For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming service.Average viewing time for all traditional TV channels continues to decline though, despite much larger quantities of original content being produced by these organisations. 20While the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon.A．This has been the trend for the last couple of decades.B．The original content has included massively popular shows.C．Suddenly, we were able to see what was going on, not just listen along.D．The traditional TV channels are taking away audiences from streaming services.E．Most major TV channels have their own catch up streaming service.F．While demand for streaming services is up, TV continues to be the most watched overall.G．Today, we have the power to watch whatever, whenever, wherever we want.二、单项选择21．_____ his conclusion on the evidence he collected on the spot, he proved that the murderer was guilty.A．Based B．Basing C．To base D．Being based22．Beloved by people of all classes, Neruda is one of the most widely read poets in history, who was once_________ as the Picasso of poetry.A．respected to B．related to C．referred to D．connected to23．It took me a long time before I was able to fully ____________ what my parents had done for me.A．appreciate B．relate C．regard D．refer24．In August, radioactive wastewater from Japan was released into the Pacific Ocean, _________ effects people are still suffering.A．by which B．from which C．from whose D．by whose25．Despite _________ under the ruins after the earthquake and the great trouble he had _________, he was still positive and relived a younger girl beside him.A．trapped; breathing B．trapping; to breatheC．being trapped; breathing D．trapping; breathed26．An ancient temple _________ the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed in flames, _________ concerns about the effective protection of cultural relics.A．dating back to; caused B．dating from; causingC．dated back to; causing D．dated from; caused27．It is generally considered unwise to give a child ______ he or she wants ______ rich you are.A．whatever, however B．no matter what, no matter howC．whenever, however D．no matter when, no matter how28．China’s image is improving steadily, with more countries _________ its role in international affairs..A．being recognized B．recognizingC．to be recognized D．recognized29．The reason ________ he didn’t come to school on time is ________ he had to take care of his sick brother at home.A．That; because B．that; that C．why; because D．why; that30．There was a time _________, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would stand up and offer her his seat.A．while B．as C．when D．until三、完形填空on film, to describe in words, or to explain to those who have never had the awe-inspiring experience of standing in the heart of a primary rainforest.Rainforests have 32 over millions of years to turn into the incredibly complex environments they are today. Rainforests represent a store of living and 33 renewable natural resources that for an immeasurably long period of time, by virtue of their richness in both animal and plant species, have 34 a wealth of resources for the survival and well-being of humankind. These resources have included basic food supplies, clothing, shelter, fuel, spices, industrial raw materials, and medicine for all those who have lived in the majesty of the forest. 35 , the inner dynamics (动力学；相互作用的方式) of a tropical rainforest is a complex and fragile system. Everything is so 36 that upsetting one part can lead to unknown damage or even destruction of the whole. Sadly, it has taken only a century of human intervention to destroy what nature designed to 37 forever.The scale of human 38 on ecosystems everywhere has increased enormously in the last few decades. Since 1980 the global economy has tripled in size and the world population has increased by 30 percent. Consumption of everything on the planet has risen — at a cost to our 39 . In 2001, The World Resources Institute estimated that the demand for rice, wheat, and corn is expected to grow by 40% by 2025, increasingirrigation water demands by 50% or more. They further reported that the demand for wood could double by the year 2050; 40 , it is still the tropical forests of the world that supply the most part of the world’s demand for wood.In 1950, about 15 percent of the Earth’s land surface was covered by rainforest. Today, more than half has already gone up in 41 . In fewer than fifty years, about half of the world’s tropical rainforests have fallen 42 to fire or deforestation, and the rate of destruction is still 43 . Unbelievably, more than 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely 44 as the destruction continues. If nothing is done to control this 45 , the entire Amazon could well be gone within fifty years. Fewer rainforests mean less rain, less oxygen for us to breathe, and an increased threat from global warming.31．A．establish B．claim C．capture D．prove32．A．extended B．evolved C．expanded D．resolved33．A．energizing B．healing C．isolating D．breathing34．A．destroyed B．contributed C．reduced D．affected35．A．However B．Furthermore C．Therefore D．Otherwise36．A．active B．positive C．interdependent D．dominant37．A．restore B．support C．relieve D．last38．A．pressure B．resources C．concern D．strengths39．A．existence B．ecosystem C．species D．survival40．A．unfortunately B．consequently C．naturally D．similarly41．A．store B．food C．smoke D．wealth42．A．subject B．down C．apart D．victim43．A．running out B．going up C．holding back D．falling down44．A．released B．revealed C．threatened D．boosted45．A．trend B．practice C．intention D．attitude四、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

重庆市南开中学校2022-2023学年高一上学期1月期末英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The Best Natural Attractions in MexicoTurtle BeachesBetween June and November, sea turtles return to the beaches of their birth to lay their eggs in the sand. With hunting and natural enemies threatening these species, communities have established protected nesting areas. Many are open for public viewing and participation in egg collection and baby-turtle release. Turtles are found along the Yucatán coast, in Baja Sur, on the Oaxaca coast, in Puerto Vallarta, and on Costa Alegre.Whale-WatchingEach year between December and April, magnificent gray whales return to breed and instruct their young in the waters of Banderas Bay, fronting Puerto Vallarta, and in Los Cabos. It is a destination you can’t miss if you’re interested in marine mammals. Then you will witness how wonderful the huge creature is.Butterfly MarchMexico is a land known for its cultural diversity, and no place drives this home more than a mountain forest where you stand surrounded by the beautiful wings of millions of monarch butterflies. The setting is the grand highlands of Michoacán, from mid-to-late November through March.Lake BacalarThe waters of this crystal-clear, spring-fed lake—Mexico’s second largest—are noted for their bright color variations, from pale blue to deep blue-green. The surrounding area is known for birding, with over 130 species identified. Bird lovers should not miss it.1．What do we know about Turtle Beaches?A．Tourists can hunt the turtles at will.B．Tourists can view turtles on more than one beach.C．Tourists can visit all the nesting areas if they want.D．Tourists can have great experiences there in spring.2．If you prefer a feast of bright colors, ________can be a better choice.A．Turtle Beaches B．Lake Bacalar C．Whale-Watching D．Butterfly March 3．Where can the text probably be found?A．In a history book.B．In a book review.C．In a scientific report.D．In a travel magazine.Liang Yuying, 26, became a bar performer after graduation from her singing major, but never once did she pluck up the courage to sing in front of her loved ones.That situation changed in the most dramatic fashion. The final stage of this year’s edition of Sing! China saw Liang’s mother and younger brother not only hear her beautiful singing for the first time but also witness Liang winning the event, which made Liang feel very proud and moved. In the final, Liang touched the judges with her heart-stopping performance, showing her superb singing skills with each word powerful and each breath precise. Her coach, Hong Kong singer Hacken Lee, was thrilled at Liang’s victory. Lee gave her a thumbs-up before jumping onto the stage to give the new champion a warm, congratulatory hug.Born in Guiping, Guangxi, Liang won the “campus top 10 singers” competition when she was studying at Jiujiang Senior Middle School in Foshan, Guangdong province. In 2019, she started singing in a bar in Chongqing after graduation from Guangxi Arts University, where she majored in pop music performance.This year is not the first time that Liang has taken part in the show. In 2019, Liang signed up but didn’t make it to the final selection round. Even though her last two demo tapes, submitted in 2020 and last year, were not selected by the directing team, she never gave up. This summer, she finally made it to the ultimate stage.During the competition, Liang dealt with setbacks, including the catastrophic loss of her voice before one round due to a cold. However, she never thought of withdrawing. Liang says participating in the show has brought great changes to her life, including the development of a more disciplined lifestyle and a better mindset.4．What made Liang proud and moved?A．Her making it to the final stage.B．Her participating in the singing contest.C．The judges’ praise for her performance.D．Her family’s watching her sing and win.5．What touched the judges in the final?A．Liang’s experiences of struggle.B．Liang’s amazing performance.C．Liang’s coach’s comment.D．Liang’s final victory.6．What can we learn from Liang’s past experiences?A．She hardly met setbacks in the show.B．She majored in pop music performance.C．She wasn’t good at singing in senior high.D．She won the first time she joined in the show.7．What would be the best title for the passage?A．A Persistent Dream-Chaser B．Liang Yuying, a Great SingerC．Life, a Singing Contest D．Family is Always the BackboneEvery couple of years the media delivers terrible news: some apparently harmless aspectis the new smoking.” New scientific findings warned that sitting at your desk all day caused metabolic (新陈代谢) changes that could make you die young, but the effects of inactivity could likely be prevented by consciously adding more activity into your day.How much moving around do you need to undo the damage your chair-based lifestyle is doing to your body? Recently a single, actionable recommendation arrived. Enough data had piled up over the years for scientists to conduct a meta analysis of nine studies looking at the fitness tracker data of 40,000 participants across four countries. This analysis now offers a clear answer: 30 to 40 minutes of moderate activity a day is enough to prevent the negative health effects of sitting all day. If you get your heart rate up for half an hour a day, you stand no greater chance of dying than those not glued to their chairs.Even better news is what counts as moderate activity. Running or cycling are great, but even chasing your kids around, dancing in your living room, or replanting your rose bushes counts as long as it gets you breathing heavily.“Every physical activity counts and any amount of it is better than none,” commented Emmanuel Stamatakis, a professor of physical activity who co-edited the special issue of the journal announcing the results.The basics of good physical health are much easier to gain than many people think. Just a little bit of walking or even mere seconds of super vigorous (剧烈的) exercise have been shown to help people live longer and healthier.Health diet recommendations and exercise trends can be confusing or unattainable. However, this study on preventing the effects of sitting is a great piece of wellness advice. If your goal is just staying healthy and sensible, attainable amounts of everyday activities will have a big impact.8．What does the underlined word “culprit” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．Problem.B．Change.C．News.D．Finding. 9．What do we know about the recommendation?A．It’s offered after detailed scientific analysis.B．It just explains how long we have to exercise.C．It is based on the fitness data from one country.D．It shows merely tense exercise makes people healthier.10．Which opinion agrees with the recommendation?A．John thinks an hour’s exercise per day must be guaranteed.B．Peter believes just 10 minutes’ exercise does nothing good to health.C．Mary feels tidying up her room can’t be counted as a physical activity.D．Tom considers jogging to raise his heart rate for half an hour every day works. 11．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Sitting all day long is likely to kill you at a young age.B．Scientists have found that sitting is as harmful as smoking.C．We should follow all the diet recommendations and exercise trends.D．An actionable recommendation to prevent the bad effects of sitting has come.Nowadays, social media is flooded with stranger and stranger food and wellness trends. One of them may well be shared images of black ice cream with activated charcoal (活性炭) in it. Besides, you’ll find activated charcoal in pizza crusts, burger buns, cold-pressed juices and cocktails. At your local drugstore, you’ll see it in cleansers, shampoos and toothpaste.The charcoal in activated charcoal is created by burning carbon-rich materials such as wood, bamboo, coconut shells and olive pits, transforming them into a concentrated black substance. Then the charcoal is “activated” by steaming it at high temperatures, which opensup its carbon structure and makes it have many small holes that can stick unpleasant substances (dirt, oil, bacteria) on its surface.“There’s no scientific evidence for the ‘detox’ action—the process of removing harmful substances from one’s body, the claimed health benefits of such diets. It doesn’t hurt you, but it doesn’t have the claimed effect”, says registered dietitian Abby Langer. “Over the last several years, Japanese and Korean beauty rituals have entered the North American cosmetic market. Activated charcoal has long been used in those countries as a purifying ingredient”, says Dr. Dennis Orgill, medical director at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “There is no clinical evidence for the effectiveness of activated charcoal as a beauty ingredient. Likewise, there is no good evidence showing that using charcoal will make your breath fresher or teeth whiter.” From my perspective, the reason for its recent popularity is that marketers know we’re suckers for anything novel. The Canadian Dental Association wouldn’t recommend using charcoal products because they have no demonstrated health benefits, and they may even be too rough and damaging to your enamel (牙釉质). If you’re seeking brighter skin, and a whiter smile, drinking plenty of water every day and eating high-fibre foods is a better way to go.12．What do we know about activated charcoal?A．It serves well as a health ingredient.B．It is widely criticized in social media.C．It is added to food and other products.D．It exists in nature and can be exploited directly.13．What can we learn from Abby Langer’s and Dennis Orgill’s words?A．Activated charcoal has the “detox” action it promises.B．Evidence of the health and beauty functions hasn’t been found.C．North Americans have created and used activated charcoal for long.D．Japanese and Korean beauty rituals have won high praise in North America. 14．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?A．We’d like to follow the tradition.B．We are easily persuaded by others.C．We’d believe in the medical experts.D．We are extremely crazy about newthings.15．What is the author’s attitude to the popularity of activated charcoal?A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Indifferent.D．Uncertain.二、七选五How to improve your communication skillsWhether you want to have better conversations in your social life or get your ideas across better at work, here are some essential tips for you.Watch your body languageYou tell your partner you’re open to discussion but your arms are crossed; you say you’re listening but haven’t looked up from your phone yet. 16 . So, watch your body language.Put away the distractions17 while someone’s talking to you or you’re supposed to be hanging out with them. Maybe we can’t get rid of all our distractions or put away technology completely, but just taking the time to look up could vastly improve our communication with each other.Have practice conversationsIf you don’t think you’re great at communicating with co-workers or people you don’t know well, try practicing on friends and family that you’re very comfortable with. 18 and let you know if you’re getting too quiet, personal or might make someone else feel uncomfortable.19Stories are powerful. They activate our brains, make presentations better, and make us more persuasive. Learn the secrets of becoming a great storyteller with these rules to structure your description. Everyone’s got at least one great story in them.Listen, really listen20 . It’s hard work, we know, but an extremely good conversation is a bunch of words elegantly connected with listening. Then, even if your communication styles don’t match, at least you’re both working off the same page. And hopefully the other person will be attentively listening to you too.A．Tell a storyB．It’s pretty rude to use your phoneC．Learn the secrets of communicationD．It’s ridiculous to hang up the phoneE．They will give you honest feedbackF．Pay attention and listen to other people without interruptingG．Remember you’re constantly communicating even when you’re not saying a word三、完形填空My mother was always knitting (编织).

重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高一上学期1月期末英语试题
重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高一上学期1月期末英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The beaches on Mykonos’s southwest coast are among the Med’s best for parties, but head east to find a different atmosphere among a rocky, golden coastline dotted with sandy bays.Fokos BayPark your vehicle in the dirt lot and walk over the low dunes to find perfect little Fokos Bay,where deep, sheltered waters offer delightful swimming for all ages. Once you’ve worked up a bit of an appetite, head on over to the renowned restaurant overlooking the sand for a lazy seafood lunch.Agari BeachIf getting your own wheels isn’t an option, Agari is only a 15-minute walk east of the more famous Elia Bcach and on the south coast bcach ferry route. It’s one of the closest uncrowded beaches to Hora, Mykonos’s main town, and home to a lonely cafe that provides sunbeds and sell drinks and snacks.Mersini BeachWander west around the headland to the next beach along -the gentle arc of Mersini beach, which is usually the least-crowded on Mykonos. Bring your own sun mat and even an umbrella as this beach is service-free: wild and raw, and perfectly matched to a sunbathing without being disturbed.Kalafati BeachIn the far southeast, about seven miles from Mykonos town, the broad curving coastline of Kalafati Beach is beloved for its steady winds that blow the sails of windsurfers and kite surfers- perfect if you’re looking for sporting action. Rnt boards and get lessons right at the beach at Windsurfing Mykonos.1．What can visitors do at Agari beach?A．Try excellent seafood.B．Rent boards for windsurfing.C．Have a 15-minute ferry ride.D．Rest undisturbed in sunbeds.2．What makes Mersini beach special?A．Its rental equipment for sunbathers.B．Its undeveloped surroundings.C．Its complex geography along the route.D．Its free service of sun mats andumbrellas.3．Which place is the best choice if one drives his kid and parents for a family outing?A．Fokos Bay B．Mersini Beach C．Agari Beach D．Kalafati BeachThe Scout’s (童子军) slogan is “Do a Good Turn Daily.” In Troop 506 of Ham Lake, a 13-year-old Scout Jonathan is pioneering new trails when it comes to “good turns.”Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn to raise money. Many Scouts fear trying to convince people to buy from them. But in 2019, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales crossed a stage to receive a Lego set as a reward. “I really wanted that Lego set,” he says.The next year, he earned his Legos. But Troop 506 doesn’t just give out Lego sets. Under its generous reward program, Scouts receive a percentage of their sales in gift cards and cash points for activities. Inspired, Jonathan spent the next few years developing an astonishing skill for selling.Popcorn too expensive? A simple donation will do. No cash? He also takes plastic. He marched into a car dealership and struck a deal with the dealer: In all his sales efforts, he’d wear a mask with the company’s logo if the owner would buy popcorn for all his employees.Jonathan started pulling down jaw-dropping numbers. In 2021, he was a top seller and earning $5,000. He might have spent it on himself, but he had other ideas. The holidays were on his mind - particularly the stories his father had told him about his own days in foster care where the real Christmas-morning experience his father was once denied.“They didn’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan says. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. He shifted from big seller to big spender, hand-selecting $5,000 worth of gifts for several kids. “It really makes me happy,” he says, “the feeling that I’m making those kids happy on Christmas.”“This is the reason why we do Scouting.

Many companies are creating different designs, ranging from big drone-like vehicles to those similar to tight spider webs. However, these won’t be like family cars from the“Jetsons”cartoon; flying them will need a pilot’s license, and they’ll likely first be used as air taxis.One company, Pivotal,has focused on a project that lets people fly their own vehicle.Their creation, Helix, is a one-seat vehicle, similar to a flying motorbike. Made to fit U.S.regulations for small aircraft, it can be flown without a pilot’s license in open areas.It has been a hairy ride. Pivotal, was started by Marcus Leng, a Canadian mechanical engineer. In 2011, he began to pursue his interest in flight. He believed electric-powered flight was possible and built a model in his backyard. Named BlackFly, it was a simple construction using carbon-fiber and even a chopstick for support. But it flew only once, marking the first human flight in an eVTOL.After 12 years of improvements,Pivotal now has a market-ready product. Helix has undergone several changes but kept its basic design. It has two sets of wings and eight propellers(螺旋桨), looking like a squeezed “H” from below. There’s no landing gear; Instead, its belly is curved in a way like a humpback whale’s, so it rocks to stability after landing.Pilot’s licence or not, buyers must train to fly Helix. The vehicle’s software limits thepilot to its built-in safety mechanisms. If something goes wrong, there’s a parachute that can be spread for a safe landing.The Helix’s top speed is a respectable 100kph, but its range is only 30km. And charging it is a bit of a pain. Charging takes 4.5 hours with a regular plug, but a special charger can reduce this to 75 minutes. So, it’s not quite like the futuristic Jetsons yet, but a possible step on-or perhaps above-the road8．Which of the following is a feature of Helix?A．It’s a pilotless motorbike.B．It looks like a loose spider web.C．It is large and flies in open areas.D．It only has a driver’s seat.9．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?A．Riding Helix was not easy.B．Flying Helix was just a piece of cake.C．The journey to develop Helix was challenging.D．The process of making Helix was quite interesting.10．How does Helix land smoothly?A．With a built-in software.B．With its curved bottom.C．With two sets of wings.D．With its special shape.11．What does the author think of Helix ?A．It has a promising future.B．Its design is far from satisfying.C．It is perfect for a long flight.D．Its charging time is unacceptable.Recently, economist Francisca Antman makes a convincing case that the explosion of tea as an everyman’s drink in late 1700s England saved many lives. This would not have been because of any beneficial substances of the leaf. Instead, the simple practice of boiling water for tea, in an era before people understood that illness could be caused by water-borne pathogens (病原体), may have been enough to keep many from an early grave.Between 1761 and 1834, the annual death rate decreased considerably, but wages didn’t seem to have risen much and standards of living arguably didn’t increase. Actually, with the rise of the industrial revolution, many people crowded into towns whose sanitation (卫生条件) left much to be desired. Some historians suggested that boiling water for tea might have played a role in this decrease.“With people coming into cities to work, given the level of sanitation they have, the big killer is water.” says Antman. Using data from over 400 English districts, relating water sources and quality with death rates, she found the key date is 1785 when tea suddenly became affordable for the majority of Britons. There were many things to recommend tea as a drink of the common people: you could make a satisfying drink with just a few leaves, which could be reused for multiple pots, and tea was potentially cheaper than beer, which became expensive both by the complex making process and by a tax on malt (麦芽). She found that deaths dropped in all districts, but those with bad water saw death rates drop 18% more than those with good water.Interestingly,while there wasn’t a noticeable decrease in deaths among children aged two to five — who typically didn’t consume much tea — there was a slight fall in infant deaths, perhaps reflecting the fact that if tea-drinking parents had less diarrheal (腹泻) disease, their very young children might have been protected a bit as well.12．What might contribute to decreased death rates according to some historians?A．Desirable sanitation.B．Less water-related disease.C．Industrial revolution.D．Beneficial substances in tea.13．Why did the majority of Britons in 1785 turn to tea?A．Because it tasted better than beer.B．Because it was less costly and reusable.C．Because people needn’t pay any tax on it.D．Because people enjoyed its making process.14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Drinking tea has tittle influence on young children.B．Children can also drink tea to protect themselves from diarrheal disease.C．Parents’ tea-drinking habits may have a positive effect on their children.D．Death rates of children didn’t drop due to their lack of tea-drinking habits. 15．What is the text mainly about?A．Why people need to boil water to make tea.B．Why British develop a love for drinking tea.C．How tea gains increasing popularity in Britain.D．How Britain’s taste for tea may have saved lives.There are few things more comforting than a hug. It’s a gesture that makes you feelcan cause them great discomfort. In the event that this is a person close to you, you may have even felt rejected by their attitude. Knowing the reasons behind their behavior will help you understand them. Let’s take a look at some of the possible causes.17A study has discovered that the degree to which we show physical affection and are comfortable with it depends on how we were raised. 18 However,as a matter of fact, some people who grew up with a lack of physical affection may later try to makeup for it. They’re the ones who always take the initiative and kiss and hug those close to them.Low self-esteem and insecurity19 In fact, it’s been proven that the most insecure people generally feel threatened by being close to others. By marking and keeping their distance, they feel more in control of the situation. In fact, it means they avoid feeling vulnerable. Furthermore, they feel like it saves them from rejection or an emotional bond that’s too intimate.Trauma (创伤)and abuseLastly, if individuals suffered physical abuse in their past, it is highly likely that they may reject any forms of physicaI contact. This rejection is often a result of the deep-seated fear and distrust that has developed within them due to their previous experiences. Indeed,traumatic events and negative experiences, such as physical violence or abuse, can generate a great fear of establishing physical closeness with others 20A．Parenting styleB．Fears and panicC．However, not everyone experiences these pleasant sensations.D．Those who dislike physical contact may not have strong and healthy self-esteem.E．For instance, growing up in a loving family encourages children to be open and caring.F．They may avoid getting close to others due to a panic of dirt, or the spread of certaindiseases.G．Thus, they may adopt a defensive gesture, keeping others at a distance to avoid potential harm.二、完形填空Bella, a 14-year-old cat from Huntingdon, UK, has claimed the Guinness Record for the(分贝).The Spink family has had Bella for almost 15 years, and they’ve always 22 that she might have the world’s loudest purr.

She was louder than the Guinness World record for the loudest purr by a domestic cat, so they applied for an official record 27 .Measuring sound with a smartphone app and having it measured by a sound engineer can bring about totally 28 results, but in this case, the Spinks were lucky to have their measurements 29 . After feasting on a bowl of her favorite food, Bella got to enjoy some much-needed petting by her owner and she produced some 30 loud purring.The standardized class-1 sound meter recorded Bella’s 31 pur at 54.59 decibels. That was more than enough to beat the 50-decibel requirement to 32 the Guinness Record.It’s important to note that while Bella has 33 the record for the loudest purr by a living domestic cat, she doesn’t have the loudest purr in history. That 34 belongs to the late Smokey and Merlin, two cats who purred at the 35 noise level of 67.8 dB, a full 13.21 louder than Bella.21．A．produced B．measured C．supplied D．analyzed 22．A．respected B．preferred C．recommended D．supposed 23．A．account for B．wonder at C．agree with D．work out 24．A．celebrate B．promote C．debate D．complain 25．A．downloaded B．invented C．restored D．contrasted26．A．benefit B．pressure C．result D．purpose 27．A．attempt B．donation C．performance D．system 28．A．useless B．available C．different D．possible 29．A．confirmed B．formed C．improved D．destroyed 30．A．specifically B．slightly C．gracefully D．impressively 31．A．normal B．straight C．peak D．major 32．A．regard B．switch C．beg D．claim 33．A．set B．carved C．sought D．mixed 34．A．option B．trend C．object D．title 35．A．professional B．meaningful C．astonishing D．demanding三、单项选择A．while B．when C．as D．sincevillage.A．established B．aided C．exchanged D．donatedthe Amazon rainforest.A．To base B．Basing C．Based D．Baserepeating them.A．from which B．in which C．with whom D．for whombeautiful old buildings.A．who B．where C．that D．whichlooking for.A．conducting B．to conduct C．conducted D．been conductingA．when B．where C．why D．thatand restore historical buildings.A．affect B．preserve C．recognise D．unearththe Internet economy, which is now an important component of today’s economy.A．given back to B．given way to C．given away D．given upA．suffered from B．suffered C．suffering from D．having suffered四、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.In a specially designed studio theater in Hangzhou, New Dragon Gate Inn, a traditional Shaoxing Opera performance 46 (bring) to life.
