It’s a question that oftendoesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes tohear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. Thereason is that “How are you?” isn’t really aquestion and “Fine.”isn’t really an answer. They are simply other way of saying “Hello!”or “Hi!”.Sometimes, people also don’t say exactlywhat they me an. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, theother person might be thinking, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…”But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say “I’mnot sure…”. It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.People also don’t say exactly what they arethinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talksover the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now.” Often,the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse,” Someone is at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or itmight not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talkany more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and itdoesn’t hurt the other person.When they are greeting each other, talkingabout an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don’t say exactly what theyare thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it’s also a part of the game of language.（1）When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say “___________”.A . You’re wrong. I disagree.B . I’m not sure.C . I’m sure I disagree.D . No, I disagree.（2）When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone is at the door.”, heor she may be .A . giving an excuseB . hurting someone’s feelingC . talking to a person at the doorD . going to another place（3）One of the rules of the game of language is probably “____________”.A . Always say what you mean.B . Don’t disagree with people.C . Say exactly what you’re thinking.D . Being polite is the best policy.3. 阅读理解My boss’s daughter was studying in the Philippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss’s daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way.From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn’t talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn’t care about other people’s feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn’t leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately Ididn’t think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience was tested during that time.We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn’t work. I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.（1）Why did the boss want his daughter to stay with the writer?A . Because he was too busy to take care of his daughter.B . Because he wanted his daughter to take a holiday there.C . Because he wanted the writer to teach his daughter good manners.D . Because he wanted his daughter to improve her English in this way.（2）What do the examples in Paragraph 3 tell us?A . The daughter wasn’t t behaving well.B . The writer and her husband were careless.C . The writer and her husband hated children.D . The daughter tried her best to make others happy.（3）What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A . Being patient with her.B . Her parents punishing her.C . Telling her parents about her behavior.D . Asking her parents about her.（4）What is this passage mainly about?A . The writer’s experience of dealing with a teenage girl staying in her house.B . The writer’s experience of teaching a girl’s English.C . The writer’s experience of improving a girl’s communication skills.D . The writer’s experience of trying to please her boss.4. 阅读理解When to go:The Magic Kingdom, which was opened in 1971, was the first theme park at WaltDisney World. All Disney World theme parks are opened 365 days a year, althoughopening and closing time for each park changes from day to day. If you plan tomake a trip to the Magic Kingdom without kids, try to visit on a school day toavoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit during a school vacation, try atleast to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and the fourth ofJuly.If you arenot staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on itsExtra Magic Hours days, as Disney’s hotel guests get into the park early onthose days, and visitors who arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s normal opening timehave to wait for a long time.Before yougo：Buy your WaltDisney World tickets online at Disney World’s website.

These crashing walls of water are born for surfing and offer one of the best free shows on the islands.

But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent whohas Down syndrome(唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad(啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, a girl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.“E m mie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m s ure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical(神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from th e sidelines.In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.24.

They satisfied her need.C. They made an excuse.D. They offered her support.27. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Believe in ourselves.B. Prepare for the worst.C. Keep our dreams alive.D. Youth gives us light.CLucy was rescued from a rural farm in New South Wales, Australia, two years ago. She was suffering from chlamydia(衣原体病), a disease widespread among koalas. Today, she is one of “the lucky” living creatures in tree corridors(走廊) that have been created by volunteers to protect koalas and other animals by saving their quickly shrinking habitats, or natural environment.The corridors, planted by the local conservation group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are intended for koalas and other animals like the glossy black cockatoos, possums, and wallabies. All of them are endangered, or at risk of becoming extinct. The corridors provide a safe path across the koala’s increasingly broken habitat. “Our corridors are actually trying to get them away from humans, from cars and from dogs,” said Linda Sparrow, president o f Bangalow Koalas. “They can safely move across the landscapes and don’t have to put up with us humans.”The koala is predicted to be extinct in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest dangers include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development. Koalas have already been declared endangered in several Australian states. A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth an estimated $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry.Founded in 2016, Bangalow Koalas has planted over 936,000 trees on 119 properties, helping koala conservation and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on community volunteers, aims to plant 500,000 trees by 2025. V olunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause. She said the activity is good for mental health and has brought the community together. “I can’t imagine a world where there’s no koalas in the wild. We’re going to do everything we can possibly to make sure that won’t happen,” Lindy said.28. Who is Lucy?A. A farmer.B. A patient.C. A koala.D. A volunteer.29. What are the tree corridors intended to do?A. To shelter koalas from human threat.B. To test the local natural environment.C. To save koalas suffering from chlamydia.D. To stop koalas’ habitats from being rebuilt.30. What does the author want to show in paragraph 3?A. The reason for koa las’ extinction.B. Koalas’ value in tourism industry.C. People’s deep love for k oalas.D. The necessity of saving koalas.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Bangalow Koalas: A Group Intended For KoalasB. Tree Corridors: A Lifeline For Endangered KoalasC. Bangalow Koalas: Call On V olunteers For Koalas’ ProtectionD. Tree Corridors: Responsible For The Loss Of Koalas’ HabitatsDDeep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins(毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with D r Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia(痴呆).Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid(脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques(黏性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s dis ease(老年痴呆) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial st age before realising they’r e at a dead end.”32. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan?A. To help people enter deep sleep.B. To reduce memory loss and dementia.C. To research how to remove sticky plaques.D. To study what the brain uses to clean itself.33. What may cause dementia according to the text?A. Not enough blood in the brain.B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain.C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid.D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques.34. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Worsening.B. Improvement.C. Beginning.D. Disappearance.35. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan?A. It is quite effective.B. It is just imaginary.C. It brings more work.D. It is far from exact.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）AChinese New Year is a celebration marking the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring. This is why decorating rooms with plants, fruits and blooming flowers carries special significance. They represent the earth coming back to life and wishes for new beginnings. Here are some of the most popular things and their special meanings.Oranges TreesOrange trees are more than decorations; they are a symbol of good luck and wealth. They make great gifts and you see them many times decorated with red envelopes and messages of good blessings. The fruits are a lso some of the “lucky” foods, which are a must during the celebrations.BambooChinese love their “Lucky Bamboo” plants and you will see them often in their homes and offices. Certainly during the holiday period, this plant is a must. Bamboo plants and stems are used frequently in feng shui and are associated with health, abundance and a happy home. They are easy to care for and make great presents.Brunches of Plum Blossoms (梅花)The beautiful long branches covered with pink-colored buds(蓓蕾) make fantastic decorations. The plum trees are the first to flower even as snow is melting after a cold winter. They represent the promise of spring and a renewal of life.PeoniesPeonies stand for prosperity and peace and are considered as China’s national flower; they are often a subject of classical paintings. The peony is also known as the “king of flowers” and represents royalty, virtue and honor.NarcissiNarcissi flower right around Chinese New Year and are considered as a symbol of luck and wealth. Their sweet fragrance(芳香) is also highly respected in Chinese culture.1. If you are not good at growing plants, which will you probably choose?A. Bamboo.B. Plum blossoms.C. PeoniesD. Narcissi2. What is special about peony?A. Oil painters prefer painting it.B. It is usually used in feng shui.C. It bears fruits considered as lucky foods.D. It is called the “king of flowers”.3. In which section may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Science.BTo say there are many new holiday romantic comedies made for television every year is the kind of understatement nearly like a joke. One of the reasons why they tend to be formulaic(公式化的) is that to tell a love story in roughly an hour and a half without cha llenging an audience’s settled expectations, there are only so many ways to go with the rhythm. Perhaps that’s why Netflix has better luck with Dash＆Lily, an eight-episode(八集) limited series that’s got the charm that a lot of holiday films lack.Our story begins when a lonely Lily leaves an interesting note in a book on the shelf at The Strand, hoping a stranger will start an adventure with her. Dash finds it and reads it, and he accepts its challenge. Thus begins a correspondence in which they each write down messages in the book and then leave it somewhere for the other, so that they never meet in person, but they get to send each other to their favorite places, sometimes to complete dares before the book can be found. Now, you do not want to think too carefully about this ——the idea that Lily’s hidden clue would be found by an age-appropriate straight boy who likes mysteries and looks like he was born to be her lover is the height of magic, so just stay relaxed and go with it.These eight episodes, each around 30 minutes, never drag; they fly by joyfully. The ending, as is often the case with love stories, is a little messy but worth cheering for. It’s as lovely and comfortable as you could want it, just about perfect for a weekend with a blanket over you.4. What made Dash＆Lily stand out among other films?A. Being formulaic to tell a romantic story.B. Presenting a new romantic television show.C. Attracting the audience with its typical charm.D. Satisfying the audience’s settled expectations.5. What does the underlined word “correspondence” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Relationship between two facts.B. Communication connecting two persons.C. Reports of study sent off by post.D. Action of writing, receiving, and reading letters.6. Which of the following best describes Dash?A. Preferring reading.B. Behaving strangely.C. Acting romantically.D. Enjoying adventures.7. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce a charming movie.B. To recommend a holiday comedy.C. To praise the romantic director.D. To explain what makes a good film.CBuying clothes for a special event, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of economical shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers tends to buy clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” makes it online, they return it to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) --- where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home --- could be contributing to this rising trend.But the rise of social media has meant that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgment, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.There are brands that tailor clothes specifically for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandon ed,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand.Another favorite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work unifo rms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the annoyance of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe”(胶囊衣柜), which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.8. What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest?A. Some Britons send outfits back after shoots.B. Britons try on clothes before online purchases.C. Britons follow the fashion stars closely.D. Some Britons over-order and return clothes.9. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service?A. Renting chargeable designer clothes.B. Creating unique shopping experiences.C. Offering customers single-use clothes.D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.10. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”?A. Better fewer, but better.B. Less addition, but more enjoyment.C. Less uniform, and more freedom.D. More choices, and less annoyance.11. What’s the purpose of the author to write the text?A. To compare different wearing trends.B. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy.C. To advocate buying high-quality clothes.D. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend.DEveryone needs to be safe, loved and to have a sense of belonging. These are inborn and natural basic needs. In an effort to have these needs satisfied, many of us tend to please others. And it works for a while. We find that we experience less conflict with others, but the conflict within ourselves grows. Saying “no” produces feeling of guilt andsaying “yes” brings anger.My father was in the military, so we moved frequently. Being shy, I didn’t make friends. What’s more, I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw our family were very important. In our household a “C” was unacceptable, a “B” should have been an “A” and an “A” meant the lesson was too easy. I was too skinny, my sister was too fat and my brother’s lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It’s a long process, one in w hich I am consistently working to perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got married. The very first thing we did to end the cycle of pleasing others was develop our own identity as independent human beings and then as a couple. And then we developed a strong set of core(核心) values and a vision for our future. The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.Besides, we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them. The struggle is necessary to success. The struggle strengthens character, making people determined. So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.12. How are we likely to feel when pleasing others?A. AngryB. Satisfied.C. GuiltyD. Happy13. What can we infer from the author’s experience as a child?A. He grew up doing a lot of housework.B. It was hard for him to adapt to the moving life.C. He realized the value of opinions from others.D. His parents had great expectations of the children.14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.B. Why the author further developed his values and character.C. How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.D. When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.15. What does the author suggest doing?A. Helping others without delay.B. Thinking twice before offering help.C. Refusing to help others.D. Leaving someone in trouble alone.第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe Best Ice Rinks (溜冰场) in EuropeZero Degrees, London, the UKThe Maritime Museum in Greenwich has opened an ice rink this year for the first time. It’s outside the Queen’s House (where Elizabeth II was born) and has a great view of the River Thames, creating a wonderful skating experience. It’s a little cheaper than competing museum ice rinks, and less busy, too. There is no need to book tickets online. You can simply turn up and buy tickets there. Next to the outdoor ice rink there is an indoor bar for those who simply wish to watch, and it’s open until late.●Ticket prices: adult from ￡13.50, child from ￡6.75Skating Heroes, HungaryBudapest’s City Park ice rink opens daily from November to February: it’s one of the largest and oldest open-air rinks in Europe and it is beautiful. It is easily reached by train or subway. A cafe serve hot chocolate, wine and traditional chimney cakes. If you are fortunate, you may see some of Budapest’s older residents ballroom dancing on the ice.●Ticket prices: adult from ￡3.50, child freeBite-Size, PolandAmong the old townhouses and shops of Warsaw’s Old Market Place is a unique Polish rink —shaped like a bagel (面包圈). Skaters glide around a statue of the mermaid（美人鱼）who stands for the city.

For the best skating, you should go there late in the evening, as the kids all head home —it’s lit until 9 pm, the music will play and the hot chocolate will flow. It’s free if you bring your own skates, or yo u can spend ￡13 renting a pair.1. What can we learn about Zero Degrees from the passage?A. It doesn’t allow children to skate late.B.

If you go to Spikersuppa, _____________.A. you should go there before it is darkB. you must pay at least ￡2 to enter itC. you can skate for free if you take your own skatesD. you can only go there by train or subwayBThis is a story of a penguin that swims 5,000 miles to a beach in Brazil every year in order to visit the man who saved his life. It sounds like something out of a fairytale (童话故事), but it’s true!Joao Pereira de Souza is a 71-year-old retired worker and part-time fisherman. He lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He found the small penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in 2015.The penguin was starving and covered in oil. Joao rescued the penguin, naming him Din Din, cleaned the oil off his feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to rebuild his strength.When Din Din recovered, Mr.. de Souza set him free into the sea, never expecting to see his new friend again.The little guy wasn’t gone long th ough, and just a few months later, he was back at the same beach. He spotted Joao fishing and followed him home, staying with him for the rest of the year.Amazingly, this cycle has continued over the past five years. Each year Din Din spends about eight months with Joao and is believed to spend the rest of the time breeding on the Patagonia coasts of Argentina and Chile.“I love the penguin like he’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,” Joao told Globo TV. “No one else is allowed to touch him. He attacks them if they do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, allows me to feed him fish and to pick him up.”Professor Krajewski, a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV, said: “I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.”4. What was Din Din like when Joao found him?A. He was hungry and weak.B. He was trapped in oil and couldn’t breathe.C. He couldn’t find his way back home.D. He was dying on the coast.5. What happened a few months after Joao saved Din Din?A.

Animal and keeper.7. Why does Din Din spend so much time with Joao, according to Professor Krajewski?A. Because he considers Joao as his family.B. Because Joao helped him to live in the sea.C. Because Joao can provide him with food and shelter.D. Because Joao can help him raise his babies.CThe world’s oldest sweet shop has been put up for sale in North Yorkshire after its owner wanted to be elected the county’s next police commissioner (局长).The Patley Bridge store was founded in 1827 and simply called The Oldest Sweet Shop in the World. It has been run by one-time police officer Keith Tordoff for more than 20 years. But now the former officer is set to leave behind his old-fashioned sweet jars. And, if police are quite different from sweets, the 63-year-old officer is convinced that he can be equally effective leading the emergency services.“I’ve a proven track record (可靠的工作业绩) in succeeding and completing at the things I set out to do,”he told The Independent. “I know first-hand about policing and first-hand about managing successful organisations, which are the exact qualities needed.”“It’s not been an easy decision to make,” said Mr. Tordoff. “Running this shop has been a joy. My parents brought me here for sweets when I was a boy, so getting the chance to buy it and then run it with my wife and our son was a dream that had come true.”“People are fascinated by it. And why wouldn’t they be? We all love sweets, don’t we? I give talks about sweets in my spare time. I’m always asked what our most popular kind is. And the answer? Rhubarb and custard,” he says. “You see, you t hink they’re old-fashioned, but what happens is that grandparents come in, buy their grandchildren what they used to have themselves, and then the kids fall in love with them, too.” It’s the same with chocolate mice and pear drops, too, apparently.He hopes to sell the shop —which was recognized in 2014 by Guinness World Records —for ￡399,000.8. What does Keith Tordoff plan to do?A. Sell the sweets in his shop at a discount.B. Make his sweet shop the longest running one.C. Change his career and run for police chief.D. Close his sweet shop and donate the sweets to charity.9. What is Keith Tordoff’s feeling about the thing he plans to do?A. He considers himself to be well qualified for the new job.B. He is terrified that his shop will be closed.C. He thinks it is very easy to leave the things he is doing now behind.D. He believes he will make a fortune by selling his shop.10. What do we know about the Patley Bridge shop from the passage?A. It sells sweets that are very fashionable.B. It has a very long history.C. Its present owner doesn’t like it much.D. It stands in the way of its owner.11. What do children think of the sweets sold in Patley Bridge?A. They are only attracted by their colors.B. They like the sweets just like their grandparents.C. They refuse to have a taste of them.D. They think there are very few kinds of sweets.DNine years ago, when the closest and largest full moon fell on March 19, 2011, many people used the term, “supermoon”, which we had never heard before. In 2012, we heard this term again to describe the year’s closest full moon on May 6, 2012. Supermoons also appeared in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019.What does “supermoon” mean exactly? And how special was the March 19, 2011 supermoon?The word “supermoon” didn’t come from astronomy. Instead, it came from astrology (占星学). In 1979, astrologer Richard Nolle defined it as a new or full moon which occurs at or near its closest point to the earth in its orbit. In short, the earth, moon and sun are all in a line, with the moon at its nearest point to the earth.And the full moon of March 19, 2011 was the largest moon of that year. This “supermoon” was at perigee (近地点) —its closest point to the earth in its orbit. It was bigger and brighter than other full moons of 2011. Astronomers call this sort of close full moon a perigee full moon.That doesn’t sound very special, does it? In fact, the March 2011 full moon lined up much more closely with perigee than Nolle’s original definition. But were you able to notice with your eyes alone that this full moon was bigger or brighter than usual? Astronomers said no. But it was fun to stand outside under this full moon and know that the moon was closer than ever.In 2019, there were three supermoons. The first supermoon of 2019 was the Super Blood Wolf Moon on January 21, which occurred with a total lunar eclipse (月全食) at the same time, also known as a “blood moon”. The second supermoon of 2019 was on February 19, also called the Snow Moon, which was the closest full moon of the year. The third and final supermoon of 2019, known by Native Americans as the Worm Moon, occurred on March 21. It fell on the day of the vernal equinox (春分), which signals the end of winter and the beginning of spring.12. What type of moon is a “supermoon”?A. A full moon.B. A new moon.C. A full moon at perigee.D. Any full moon in 2011.13. What do we know about the supermoon of March 2011?A. It was the first full moon in 2011.B. It was in the closest orbit to the sun.C. It was brighter than any other full moon in 2011.D. It was at its furthest point from the earth.14. What can we learn from the underlined sentences in the fifth paragraph about a supermoon and an ordinary full moon?A. They can appear in the sky at the same time.B. Only astronomers can see them.C. The supermoon is as large as an ordinary full moon.D. People can’t tell the difference between them with the naked eye.15. The third supermoon of 2019 __________.A. was called the Super Blood Wolf MoonB. was the closest full moon of the yearC. was found by Native Americans firstD. occurred on the day of the vernal equinox第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, andafter carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if the music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 36．Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2?A．Reduce.B．Improve.C．Understand.D．Influence. 37．What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”?A．It is most likely to be ineffective.B．It was first presented by Mozart.C．It helps parents take good care of their children.D．It will draw more and more researchers’ attention.38．What does the example in Paragraph 3 show?A．Listening to music benefits kids a lot.B．Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown.C．Listening to music fail to help kids in language learning.D．Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is controversial (有争议的). 39．How did the researchers carry out the new study?A．They did 54 small studies in all.B．They observed children in music classes.C．They examined plenty of previous research.D．They did a long-term survey of musical students.40．What conclusion is made in the last paragraph?A．Music lessons should be encouraged for children.B．Intelligence determines one’s school performance.C．A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.D．Students should avoid listening to music while studying.In the mornings, as I walked from the train station to the office, I planned my day by making a to-do list in my head: the scientific articles I would read, the data sets I would analyze, and most urgent of all — the insights into human nature that it was my job to discover.Each evening, I went back to the station, again going through my mental checklist but this time sizing up my performance against the expectations I’d set for myself that morning. Time and again, when comparing my to-do list with my got-done list, I felt frustrated because I had fallen short.But one day, something very strange happened. During my trip home, without any conscious intention, my thoughts began to change. Instead of feeling bad about my weaknesses, I said aloud very softly: I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. By the time I boarded my train, I was done with my little chant until the next day when I walked home. And again, after counting my failures, I found myself saying quietly: I’m a nice person. It turns out that there’s a technical term for this practice: values affirmation (肯定). And what it emphasizes is recognizing and strengthening the personal values.When you affirm a core personal value, you raise your sense of self-worth. You broaden your outlook: Instead of focusing on your shortfalls, you switch to a wide-angle view that includes your resources and opportunities. And the people who do this are happier, healthier, and more hopeful. Overtime, I made progress in my research and learned a lot about what makes most successful people special, including this: Nobody has passion and determination unless what they do lines up with their values.Try values affirmation for yourself and teach the practice to your students.

AHere are some music festivals that you might be interested in.BoogieTallarook, VIC(26－28 March)Boogie is definitely kid-friendly, but with a few rules. Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised（监管）at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm. Kids under 8 years old are admitted for free. Kids between 8 and16 get in cheaper. There are some activities for kids and a great kid-friendly area.Splendour in the GrassByron Bay, NSW(24－26 July)Look, Splendour can be pretty crazy, so if you and your kids are out of practice with handling festivals and the stress they can sometimes bring, maybe you should try starting smaller. But if you feel like you can do it, then your kids are welcome to hit Splendour with you. The usual rules apply — you'll need to have them with you at all times if they are under 16 and they can't go into bars. If the child is under 11, then they will get in for free.The Gum BallHunter Valley, NSW(22－24 April)We didn't originally include the Gum Ball because they took last year off and we wanted to make sure they were definitely returning. Not because we have anything against them. On the contrary, they are one event that manages to balance brilliant music and a family-friendly vibe.Bellingen TurtlefestBellingen(30 September－2 October)Great music for a great cause! Bellingen Turtlefest has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle, while giving families a chance to enjoy some great music at the same time. There's a kidzone, sideshows, workshops and markets, but also an education center and some guest speakers so that the kids (and you) can learn a thing or two while you're at the event.1. If a 10-year-old goes to Boogie, he/she_____.A. cannot find a great kid-friendly area thereB. must leave the licensed area by 11 pmC. must stay with an adult all the timeD. doesn't have to pay for admission2. Which of the following festivals failed to be included in the beginning?A. The Gum BallB. Splendour in the GrassC. BoogieD. Bellingen Turtlefest3. What do the festivals have in common?A. They're all held in the summertime.B. They're all free for kids under 11.C. They're all concerned with wildlife.D. They're are suitable for the whole family.BWolf Warrior 2, a movie that made box office history in China in 2017, tells the story of how the Chinese government successfully rescues overseas Chinese citizens in Africa.At the end of the film, there is one line that stands out: “When you meet with danger in a foreign land, do not give up! Please remember, at your back stands a strong motherland.”The movie sends the message that overseas Chinese will always receive timely help from China. But in the future, some headstrong(任性的) citizens will not get this help for free, People’s Daily reported.On March 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affaires (MFA) worked out a draft for regulations on consular(领事的) protection and assistance, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The draft says that those who insist on travelling to dangerous places without considering warnings given by the MFA will not be able to take advantage of free rescue services. For example, the MFA recently release a travel advisory (安全提醒) saying that Chinese citizens should avoid travelling to Maldives. Chinese who travel there and run into trouble may still ask for aid from the Chinese Embassy. But they will have to cover the cost of their rescue later.In fact, this is a common international practice, People’s Daily said. Countries like the US, the UK and Canada have similar regulations.According to the MFA, over 130 million Chinese mainlanders travelled overseas in 2017. The MFA issued over1000 travel advisories to advise Chinese citizens of the risks they may face when travelling.4．Why does the author quote a line from Wolf Warrior 2 ?A．To explain what the movie is about.B．To describe the feelings after watching the movie.C．To stress that China will help every Chinese person.D．To prove how strong China is.5．Who usually gives warnings about travelling abroad?A．People’s Daily B．The MFA C．Xinhua News Agency D．Travel agencies.6．The draft suggests that ______.A．Chinese people can’t travel to foreign placesB．Free rescue services have come to an endC．Chinese who travel to Maldives will run into troubleD．People will not get free help if they ignore the MFA’s warnings7．If the regulation is put into practice, we can infer that _____.A．China will be the first country in the world to do soB．People may have second thoughts about travelling to dangerous placesC．The number of people who can travel overseas will be less than 130 millionD．Only rich people will be able to afford to travel overseasCWho needs friends? According to most psychologists, we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice, comfort and security. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together,” says Rowe. If the couple do not make some change, they will eith er get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.But is friendship equally important to women and men? According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you’d never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friend. Men share time and activities like building a fenc e or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don’t often share their feelings.Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage.8. What did Rebecca think about friendship?A. Families are reliable forever.B. One needn’t have too many friends.C. Her friend means more to her than her husband.D. Friends are as important as families.9. Some couples look for friends outside their relationships because .A. they don’t ge t what they need from their partners.B. they are not fairly treated by their partners.C. they are encouraged by their partners.D.they think their friends are more romantic.10. What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendships?A. Women often do things together.B. Men seldom talk about their feelings.C. Women often talk about business with friends.D. Men often talk to their friends about work and family.11. When a friendship ends, some women may .A. turn to their husband for comfort.B. share feelings with their partners.C. treat their partners as friends.D. feel as upset as when a marriage ends.DBuying books on the Internet is a great way to save time and money. Online bookstores offer new books and used books that can save you lots of money. They are far better compared to traditional bookstores as they offer much more kinds of books. Another advantage of shopping online is that you can also read the book reviews as well as readers’ reviews to get an idea whether the book is worth buying. Online bookstores offer great discounts to regular customers, which is a big attraction for book lovers.For book lovers, the most important thing is to get books on time. Therefore, you need to find a reliable online bookstore that will be able to provide fast deliveries.Here are some tips to use when you are choosing an online bookstore. Some online bookstores are popular for fiction books; some are for non-fiction books or novels, etc. Understanding their specialization will help you get the right kind of book in time. Check whether you will buy the books from a third party seller or directly from the website. Although he online bookstore could be reputable, third party sellers advertised on its site may not have a good reputation. Never jump at stores that offer super cheap prices, as books sold at such low prices could be in very bad condition.Most of the popular online bookstores offer useful tools. One tool is a wish list tool on the website. You can change the list of books you wish to buy in the future. The bookstore will know what you want and will e-mail you immediately when the book of your choice is available.12．How can a reader buy a worthy book when shopping online?A．By comparing the service.

江苏省南京师大附中2019-2020学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题+Word版含答案
南京师大附中2019-2020 学年度高一年级第二学期英语期中试卷本试卷分为选择题（100 分）和非选择题（50 分，满分150 分）考试用时120 分钟第I 卷（共100 分）第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5 分，满分30 分）One of the biggest complaints in modern society is being over-scheduled. Ask people how they are and the answer usually is “super busy,” “crazy busy”. 21 is just “fine” any more.When people aren’t super busy at22 , they are crazy busy exercising, entertaining or parenting. And if there is ever a still moment for thoughts—for example, while waiting 23 at the supermarket or sitting in traffic—out come the mobile phones. So it’s worth noting a study published last month in Science, which shows how 24 people will go to avoid the examination for our thoughts.“We had noted that we are so dependent on our mobile phones that people seem to find any 25 they can to keep busy,” said Timothy Wilson, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia. In his experiments involving 700 people, the majority found it 26 to be alone with their thoughts for just 6 to 15 minutes.It could be because human beings, as problem solvers and meaning makers, when 27 , tend to think about what’s wrong in their lives. When we aren’t28 our Facebook page, the things we haven’t figured out appear in our minds—29 relationships, professional failures, health concerns, etc. Unless there is a solution, these thoughts just 30 themselves in our heads.But you can’t solve problems 31 you don’t allow yourself time to think about them. It has actually been 32 by our culture, which values doing more than thinking and believes answers are in your hand 33 in your head. “We all fell that busyness is 34 but it’s really harmful,” said Timothy.“There’s a widespread belief that thinking will only slow you down and get 35 , but it’s theopposite.” 36 negative feelings only makes them more powerful, he said. Allowing and 37 the flow of thoughts is part of the solution itself, such as meditation(冥想).Ne gative feelings are sometimes hard, but they are part of everyone’s life, 38 if you are busy. Itis those deep and troubling feelings, and how you 39 them, that make you who you are. While busyness may seem to prevent the flow of sadness, it may also limit your ability to be filled with 40 .第三部分：阅读理解（共15 小题，每小题2 分，满分30 分）APiazzale degli Uffizi 650122Florence, ItalyPhone +39 055 294883Email：infouffizi@benicultuali.itWe wish to inform visitors that the Uffizi Galleries’ museums, along with their Library as well as their Historic Archive and Research Dept, have been closed since an order was given by the Italian Prime Minister in March.

Although we were all tied to lines running along the steel girders, a fellow climber called Mike had somehow managed to drop onto bended knee and turn to face his girlfriend, Wendy. I knew what was coming. “Wendy, will you marry me?” he asked. There was a quick smile and an attempted kiss and then a big beam. Mike had the answer he hoped for and all of us burst into a round of applause.Apparently more than 2,000 couples have become engaged ( 订婚) at the summit since 1998, when it became possible to climb it in organized tour groups. The bridge, perhaps the most recognized symbol of this beautiful city, opened in 1932. It's still the world's largest steel-arch bridge.We returned to the fantastic view: the famous Sydney Opera House, ferries and sailboats making their way through the harbor, the city skyline — but I had to force myself to look down. We had climbed 1,423 steps to the top of the bridge and I didn't know whether to be delighted or scared.Nicole Kidman has done it. So have Bruce Springsteen, Prince Harry and scores of other celebrities. But climbing to the top clearly isn't just for the rich and famous. On the contrary, Australian youngsters do it to celebrate their 12th birthdays. (You have to be at least 12 years old to do the climb.) A 100-year-old woman climbed it and told guides it was on her list of things to do before she died.You can climb during the day, at twilight, or even after dark with headlamps. People climb in all weathers except when there's lightning in the area. In fact, over two million people have made the three-and-a-half-hour climb to the top of the famous bridge—an adventure that cannot be done anywhere else in the world on a bridge this big. That's probably why this climb has won a lot of tourism awards. Today, the climb is firmly on the "to-do" list for locals as well as tourists.43.What can we learn on the bridge is quite rare.A.Getting engaged on the bridge is quite rare.B.People climb the bridge on climbers’ age.C.There are no limitations on climbers’ age.D.Many famous people have done the climb.44.How did the author feel when he climbed to the top of the bridge?A.Bored and tiredB. Fearful and confusedC. Excited and nervousD. Relived and relaxed45.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A.To introduce the popularity of the bridge.B.To emphasize the importance of the bridgeC.To explain the functions of the bridge.D.To describe the fantastic view from the bridge.C"Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide." Do you often see this kind of advertising in your country? Statements like these that no one can prove are called puffery. Puffery is legal, even though it cannot be proved. In fact, puffery has been called "a license to lie", as it is regarded as an opinion rather than an objective statement.Using puffery to raise awareness of products and to increase sales, is a common advertising method. Some people, however, worry about puffery. One of the concerns is whether consumers are misled by false advertising. Therefore, advertisements containing puffery sometimes can be tested in the courts, and the decisions that are made help to tell the difference between acceptable puffery and illegal advertising.On the one hand, if a company tells the public that it sells the country's best-loved" or favorite product, this is thought to be puffery, rather than an objective description of market share. Similarly, the companydoes not have to produce proof that such puffery is actually supported by numbers or facts. In other words, advertisements such as the world's best cup of coffee" are impossible to prove. They are too good to be true and thus it is expected that any consumer will understand how subjective they are. Such advertisements are therefore not thought of as misleading. In fact, puffery like this in these advertisements is often considered to add to the entertainment value.On the other hand, a company that states their products is the safest" or cheapest" needs to show proof, because statements that are objective need to be supported by proof or statistics. Consumer rights organizations can run tests to examine whether or not such statements agree with the fact. Companies should thus be very careful when making factual statements about a product.A primary function of advertising is to create product awareness. As consumers, we need to know -about competing products, so we can make wise decisions on which one to buy. While it is important that advertisers are monitored to ensure they do not mislead consumers, it can be argued that puffery is a good way of raising awareness of new products. As long as there are effective ways of monitoring advertisements to prevent deliberate deception (欺骗) in safety and quality, it seems that most puffery is relatively harmless. Rather, it has become part of advertising, which most consumers can laugh at rather than being misled.46.By “ Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide", t he passage intends to .A. describe a factB. introduce the topicC. present an argumentD. provide background information47.The function of puffery is mainly to help .A. describe products' market shareB. raise awareness of new productsC. test the advertisement in the courtsD. run tests to examine the new products.48.What does the author think of puffery?A.It is acceptable with effective monitoring.B.It is misleading for it uses the false information.C.It is harmful for it plays tricks on consumers.D.It is convincing for it helps consumers to choose wisely.49.Which can be the best title of this passage?A. Functions of AdvertisingB. Puffery in AdvertisingC Consumers and Advertising D. The Art of AdvertisingDDear Mummy,This last trip to India with you has brought home to me a few hard facts- facts that I wanted to avoid seeing for some time. As you well know, you and I have had a few arguments and several days of tension during the trip. I must admit sometimes I really do not know how to communicate to you what I really feel. Words seem to fail on both sides. That's why I am writing this letter. Perhaps it will be a bit easier. ①As I approach my seventeenth year, I suddenly ask myself where I belong.1 know this is the usual teenage identity crisis. You came to this country when you were slightly older than I am and married my father. You admired the American lifestyle and tried to be an American as much as you could. I am the daughter of you, a mother who is Indian, and a father who is American. Of course, I am American. Except for a few trips to India I have little to do with India outwardly. But I feel how much you would like me to become Indian sometimes. I cannot explain it with examples. But I feel it in my bones. The India that you never quite shake off comes back to you now and you want to see your daughter live it, at least partly. ②Yes, Mummy, I know I am wrapped up in many superficial (肤浅的) things, things my friends indulge in (沉迷于) and I can understand your need to protect me. But I am part of them and in order for me to be acceptedby my friends, sometimes I need to do things which do not always please me either. I need their approval and I want to be like them sometimes. But your good intentions to teach me those good Indian things then clash. Although I dislike the superficiality of my friends, I cannot move back to your culture just because it is better for you or more ancient or deep. ③My dearest mother, I cannot be protected by you. Forgive me if I remind you of something you related to me many times. You could not be protected by my grandparents (your parents) when you decided to embrace this culture along with my father. ④ Nor can you protect me despite the fact that we are not separated by physical distance. Perhaps we are separated by something else and I suspect that is India.I have never written a letter like this before in my short life. I feel good about writing this and would like to hear what you have to say, Ma, perhaps you and I can still be friends in a way that you and your mother could not be. Let’s try. I love you.Yours,Rita50.What can we learn from this letter?A.Rita and her mother had a pleasant trip in India.B.Rita always asks herself where she belongs.C.Rita wants to be accepted by her friends.D.Rita's mother allows her freedom to do as she wishes.51.This sentence “Let me live the life I am surrounded by and suffer as I wish.” canbe best placed at .A.①B. ②C.③D.④52.The underlined word“clash in Paragraph 2 probably meansA. come into existenceB. come into disagreementC. come into viewD. come into effect53.Which words can best describe Rita's personality?A. Hesitant and ignorant.B. Thoughtful and generous.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Independent and communicative.54.Which kind of social problem can be reflected from this private letter?A. Politics.B. Race. C Religion. D. Identity.55.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Rita expects more protection from her mother.B.Rita expects more Indian cultural influence from her mother.C.Rita expects more communication and respect from her mother.D.Rita expects more attention and care from her mother.第四部分:七选五阅读(共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Breathtaking scenery.BWhen Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed more solutions to enjoy concerts. "What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations（震动）through theirfingers," Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of-hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the "Chief Vibration Officer" of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying different vibrating cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn't quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic （触觉的）suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a undershirt that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle, When you wear the suit, it's surprising how it feels.The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. "What we're doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body," said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was displayed on a screen on the stage.The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. "It's cool, because I'm never quite sure if I'm hearing what other people are hearing, so it's amazingto get the music in my body."4. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems?A. The attitude they held to life.B. The way they enjoyed music.C. The love they had for balloons.D. The frequency they vibrated fingers.5. Why did the team's initial attempt fail?A. The vibrations lacked variety.B. The vibrations were irregular.C. The motors were the same.D. The motors hardly worked.6. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?A. Displaying music on the stage.B. Selecting proper suits for participants.C. Mixed methods helping people feel the music.D. Interpreters with excellent sign language skills.7. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit?A. It's comforting.B. It's challenging.C. It's satisfying.D. It's disturbing.CA team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard.The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive （草书）on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type."We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard," says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. "Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding （编码）new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning." The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper."We've shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it's the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing," Audrey adds. "This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty differentiating between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as 'b' and 'd'. They haven't felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters."Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. "There's some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay," Audrey concludes.8. What was the special cap used to do?A. Measure the participants' brain activity.B. Evaluate the participants' writing styles.C. Tell the participants when to write or type.D. Record the time the participants used to write.9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study?A. Its backgrounds.B. Its equipment.C. Its outcomes.D. Its process.10. What plays the key role in strengthening brain connectivity?A. Writing letters carefully by hand.B. Forming the habit of taking notes.C. Recognizing letters' mirror images.D. Learning to practice cursive writing.11. What does the underlined word "pragmatic" in the last paragraph mean?A. Difficult.B. Traditional.C. Special.D. Practical.DWhen I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology."What's so innovative about that?" a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. "Why couldn't they both be innovative?" I asked.We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology's capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied AI into hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.True innovation isn't just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting "old" ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview（后视的）innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn't new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and physicality.12. Which of the following best describes Samcheong Park Library?A. Dull but convenient.B. Simple but refreshing.C. Old-fashioned but cozy.D. Unexceptional but spacious.13. What can we learn about innovation from Paragraph 3?A. Its true meaning is to buy new things.B. It is important for the growth of economy.C. It shouldn't involve simple and effective ideas.D. Its true meaning has been misread by the public.14. Which statement will the author probably agree with?A. Magic devices encourage innovation.B. Innovation should be human-centered.C. The power of technology is undervalued.D. Wasting resources are a must for innovation.15. What is the writing purpose of the text?A. To introduce some best ideas about innovation.B. To show that future lies in returning to the past.C. To convince people of the true meaning of innovation.D. To stress the important role innovation plays in economy.第二部分阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
