At senior 1, I had difficulty keeping up with others in English. At that time, I had two choices. I could choose to give up and also I could choose to find out the root of the problem and seek solutions. I chose the latter. I took immediate steps and made determined efforts to improve my English step by step. I began with reciting words and reviewing them several times. To others, it was seemingly too easy to mention. But to me, it was a key step for me to improve my English. If excelling at English is my long journey, I am glad that I took the first step bravely and determinedly in senior 1.This proverb can serve as a reminder that long and arduous as the journey ahead is, we can be closer to our dream as long as we are brave enough to take action.读后续写参考范文Mike paused, and a look of sudden realization crossed his face. He quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out his small white cup. After counting the mere change carefully in it, he held all out toward me, his eyes brimming with care and sincerity. At that moment, an embarrassed silence struck for a moment. I looked up at him in shock. “I know you have no change,” he said with a smiling face, “but I think there’s just enough here for you to take the bus.” I was overwhelmed with guilt as I remembered the lie I had told him.I turned away from his offering hand and reached for my purse. I felt Mike’s eyes fixed on me. I counted out enough money for me to take the bus to the hospital and then offered him the rest. “Thank you,” he said quietly. It was by far the most heartfelt “thank-you” I had heard in my life. He clung to his cup of change, cherishing it as if it were the first gift he had received. Despite his gratitude, I didn’t feel relieved.A half cup of change seemed too small a gift for the man who gave a name to every nameless face I’ve ever seen.(209words)听力原文Text 1W: Hey, Bill.

(16)Text 10 (18为归纳总结)May I have your attention, please? I know it’s the end of the day, and everyone is eager to begin your holiday. But I want to give a short speech about the past year.

and a sight you won’t soon forget.St Bees is England’s only cliff-nesting seabird colony!1.Which of the four spots was shot in a movie?A.Haverigg Beach.B.Blea Tarn.C.Silecroft Beach.D.St Bees Beach.

barbershop(理发店),designed a wheelchair-accessible barber chair, which was brought to reality by the engineers in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.They have developed the device that will help individuals with physical disabilities have a more tailored, comfortable and safe experience at the barbershop.“It’s a barber chair—that was the first concept,”said Sallows.“But now we are in the process of creating,developing,and applying new technologies for applications in multiple settings such as dentist chairs or stadium seats,”said Sallows.Sallows worked in a hospital as a certified therapist(治疗专家)for nearly20years.He enjoyed his career but decided to learn a trade.“I want something in the wheelhouse of therapists,”said Sallows.“I need something fulfilling,so I think barbering.”In one way,some may see it as a big career change,but Sallows says he is still a therapist.“I joke,I say I’ve gone from therapy to ‘hairapy’,”said Sallows.“Barbering gives me that therapeutic kind of environment that allows me to still talk.People know me as a therapist when they come in,not only as a barber,and so,just the conversations are really cool.”Sallows learned that a barbershop proved complex for clients in wheelchairs.Having one’s hair washed or getting a close shave often means being physically lifted out of the wheelchair and into a barber chair—an experience that is both difficult and embarrassing.So Sallows,with the help of the UPMC,has created the barber chair that lifts and tips a wheelchair back safely and comfortably.The user rolls onto the barber

Mullen,is more than just a theoretical exploration of simplicity;it’s a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills.The goal of this book is not merely to promote the philosophy but to equip readers with the tools they need to carry it out effectively.From techniques to prioritize tasks to methods for removing distractions,the book offers a comprehensive toolkit for simplifying the decision-making process.In a world where indecisiveness often leads to confusion and missed opportunities,the book’s philosophy distinguishes between a decisive“Yes”and a clear“No”.At its essence,this title encourages readers to grasp the power of conviction and the art of clear choices.The book urges us to channel our energies into the positive‘Yes’and decrease our efforts with undecided commitments.Author Bruce Mullen’s journey began with a conversation with his brother,causing a serious reflection that gave rise to a philosophy centered around simplicity.Titled“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No”,this guiding principle explores the importance of decisions in one’s life.Through his personal experiences,Mullen determined the power of simplification,directinghim to decisions harmonizing with his core values and ambitions.Beyond individual context,this book extends its reach,influencing business strategies,relationship dynamics,and societal considerations.Mullen’s exploration into the essence of the phrase not only drew parallels to the legal‘Yes Means Yes’principle but also emphasized the significance of clear intention in negotiating life’s crossroads.Yes Means Yes,Everything Else Means No is more than a book;it’s a philosophy that can revolutionize how we approach decisions.Rooted in the simplicity of its title,the book briefs the essence of purposeful decision-making.It offers a set of tools to take apart complexity and embrace the power of confirmation and decisive negation.For those who seek to live a life with clarity

practical.C.Objective and humorous.D.Plain and straightforward.Moon dust is the absolute worst.Not only does electrostatics(静电)cause it to stick to virtually everything,but it also has the consistency and feel of finely ground fiberglass.It was a genuine problem for the six Apollo crews who visited the moon’s surface—moon dust covered their suits,worked their way into engines and electronics,and even ruined a few of their extremely expensive spacesuits.These are all serious issues to consider ahead of NASA’S planned return to the moon’s surface in2025,but a team of college undergraduates at Washington State University just developed a solution to moon dust—spraying liquid nitrogen(氮)onto moon dust.The teamdeveloped a new spray that takes advantage of the Leidenfrost d after its discoverer, an18th-century German doctor Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost,it occurs when a liquid comes into close contact with a significantly hotter surface,causing it to quickly form a protective layer of vapor(蒸汽)that briefly keeps it from evaporating,such as when water forms into drops and runs across a very hot frying nan.The same principle works similarly in space.In this case,a liquid nitrogen spray(typically around-320℉)comes into contact with a surface’s relatively warmer lunar dust coating,causing the particles to turn into things like drops and float away on the nitrogen vapors.To test their spray,the research team first dressed a Barbie doll wrapped with a material used to make spacesuits.They then sprayed it with liquid nitrogen in a normal atmospheric condition as well as the circumstances similar to outer space.Not only did the liquid nitrogen spray perform better in the latter circumstances,but also it only resulted in minimal damage to the spacesuit material.In past lunar missions,astronauts’specialized brushes for the moon dust task often caused damage to spacesuits after a single use.In comparison,the liquid nitrogen spray took75 uses before similar issues occurred.Going forward,the team hopes to further research the complexity that makes the cleaning process so effective,as well as secure funding to construct testing rooms more closely resembling the lunar surface’s gravity.With any luck,maybe a can of their Moon-Dust-Gone will be aboard a future Artemis mission,ready to help astronauts avoid one of the lunar surface’s annoying things. 12.Why does the author mention“Apollo”in the first paragraph?A.To prove moon dust is a real headache.B.To compare past and present moon programs.C.To show the achievements in moon exploration.D.To offer readers insights into the Apollo program.13.What does the underlined word“particles”in Paragraph2refer to?A.Liquid waste.B.Moon dust.C.Nitrogen spray.D.Protective coating. 14.What did the research team find about their spray in Paragraph3?A.It belonged to single-use items for astronauts.B.It performed better in normal atmospheric conditions.C.It increased the strength of the material of spacesuits.D.It protected spacesuits better compared with the brush.15.What may the follow-up research of the spray focus on?A.Test subjects.B.Complex lunar surface.C.Other applications.D.Reasons for efficient cleaning.One might hope that children’s capacity for boredom would be matched by an appetite for all things new—If only parenting were so easy.16Here are expert-approved tips on how to get your kids to attempt new things without frightening them off.Start with what they know.Take something your kids already like or are good at,and push them to try it in a new environment or a slightly different way.If you want your kids to feel confident about their strengths and use that as a springboard to try something new,think:17 How can you help them advance in that?There is no need to learn a new thing—you just create an opportunity to push your kids to try something new with the skill they know.Make a list.Ask your children what new things they want to try out or have them write a list. Help them figure out what it is that they are worried about when they avoid new things.18 It’s a way to help them feel in charge of their emotions and understand the connection between thoughts and actions.19You should both recognize your children’s fears and express certainty that they can handle the task.It is important to project confidence in your children.Say you believe they have capacity to handle those challenges and tolerate the discomfort or worries or negative feelings that might come along with doing new or scary things.Consider if they are doing enough.You should also do some reflecting of your own.Do your children really need to try tofu or martial arts?If your kids are functioning overall,they are doing the basics and they have some friends,then be encouraging.20Sometimes doing that stops you from focusing on the things they are doing.A.Sympathize and encourage.B.Be tolerant and open-minded.C.What are your kids comfortable with?D.Why are your kids fascinated by new things?E.Don’t overstress on everything they are not doing.F.Sometimes the act of identifying and naming fears can help decrease them.G.Trying new things is difficult for many children,whether a different food or skill.二、完形填空Washing windows was the worst chore for Maddie.As she did it,she noticed her21 Mr.Valdez pressing his knees with a rake(耙子)lying beside him.“How are you?”“Well,Maddie.”Mr.Valdez answered.“But raking leaves is the22chore for me.”“I’ll rake them for you first and finish washing my windows later.”Maddie23.She enjoyed building piles of golden leaves,24the grass and making the yard look like a freshly swept carpet.Truly appreciating her help,Mr.Valdez25Maddie the rake and went to see Mrs.Iguchi across the street.Maddie raked,piled and bagged all leaves.“I have to go back to do my windows.”She thought,turned toward her house and then stopped in26.Tom,the teenage boy living nearby,was washing her windows!Before she expressed her27to Tom,Mr.Valdez entered with Mrs.Iguchi.“I can explain.When I visited Mrs.Iguchi,she was28 peeling(去皮)potatoes,so I volunteered.I like making the potato peelings into long curly shapes.”Maddie looked puzzled,still29how peeling potatoes could have turned into washing windows.Mrs.Iguchi continued the30.She said she31to do her favorite—cleaning the carpet at Tom’s house when borrowing dustpans.When Tom asked what could be done for her,she couldn’t32any chores but only remembered Mr.Valdez had mentioned Maddie’s windows weren’t getting33because she was raking his leaves.Tom added,“Nothing is more pleasant than seeing the34glass shine in the sun.”What a neighborhood chore chain!Everyone gets a favorite and returns a35. 21.A.gardener B.cleaner C.neighbor D.colleague 22.A.hardest B.tiniest C.latest D.earliest 23.A.indicated B.hesitated C.resisted D.volunteered 24.A.cutting B.watering C.uncovering D.planting 25.A.handed B.bought C.returned D.displayed26.A.sorrow B.delight C.fright D.surprise 27.A.gratitude B.doubt C.concern D.disapproval 28.A.unwillingly B.hopefully C.excitedly D.aimlessly 29.A.understanding B.wondering C.stating D.showing 30.A.broadcast B.persistence C.observation D.explanation 31.A.appeared B.refused C.happened D.pretended 32.A.think of B.set aside C.put off D.take up 33.A.changed B.repaired C.washed D.decorated 34.A.valuable B.spotless C.previous D.colorful 35.A.call B.greeting C.profit D.favor三、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。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.What is Prosopagnosia?Imagine living in a world where everyone looks vaguely familiar, but you never know for certain exactly who anyone is. Your old classmates, your coworkers, your friends, and even your family members can appear ____1____ first glance to be friendly strangers who seem to know you. That’s ____2____ life is like for people with prosopagnosia, or face blindness.Prosopagnosia is a neurological (神经性的) disorder that causes someone to have trouble recognizing people they know, or distinguishing between different people’s faces.____3____ difficulties in face recognition were noted over a hundred years ago, understanding of prosopagnosia is still unfolding. The condition has received a significant share of the public’s attention after American author Jean Gilbert penned down her struggles with prosopagnosia in her book, The Picasso Mirror. ____4____, such as well-known British anthropologist Dr Jane Goodall and Hollywood actor Brad Pitt, have also revealed that they have face blindness.A study from Harvard and University College London found that prosopagnosia may affect up to 2% of the population, ____5____ (mean) there may be millions of face-blind people. For many people just realising that their difficulties are the result of a recognised neurological condition and that they are “not alone” ____6____ (make) a huge difference.For typical observers face recognition is based on the whole face, but for prosopagnostics is it the opposite — they are more focused on ____7____ (isolate) features. They often have to rely on clues other than someone’s facial features, such as hairstyle, clothing, or voice, ____8____ (identify) the people they know. It ____9____ be very disturbing for the person who has face blindness, as they do not know how to relate with people. This would hold especially true if the person isn’t aware that they might have prosopagnosia. They could become socially withdrawn, _____10_____ could lead todepression, panic attacks, social isolation or social anxiety.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The magic numbers This is the age of the data scientist.Employers of all kinds prize people with the skills to obtain and analyze enormous amounts of information, to spot patterns in the data and to turn them into useful ____11____. But some of the most valuable figures in business need neither a(n) ____12____ team nor knowledge of Python. They are simple to remember and useful in every organization: Zero: Doing nothing can be the most valuable thing a manager can do, as the story of Atwood’s duck ____13____. It was well known that the higher-ups had to make a change to everything that was done. The ____14____ was that subconsciously they felt that if they didn’t, they weren’t adding value. The artist working on the queen animations for Battle Chess was aware of this ____15____, and came up with an innovative solution. He did the animations for the queen the way that he felt would be best, with one addition: he gave the queen a pet duck. Eventually, it came time for the higher-ups to review the animation set for the queen. Sure enough, they asked the programmer to do only one thing: ____16____ the bird.One: This is the number of bosses people should have. In reality, matrix (矩阵) structures and team-based ____17____ mean that team members report to multiple leaders. This can have benefits, but ____18____ is not one of them. The Gallup poll showed that those who work in a matrix are less likely to know what is expected of them, and more likely to spend their day in endless internal meetings. While the intention of the matrix is to benefit teams, it may ____19____ projects and muddy the overall process.Three: Good marketing follows certain universal truths. In a paper published in 2013, two academics tested whether there was a perfect number of claims that marketers should make for their products and services in _____20_____ messages. They found that makingthree claims was best: any fewer and consumers felt they lacked enough information to make their minds up about a product; any more and they became confused. The “rule of three” is useful in many other settings, too, from points in presentations to pricing options for customers.三、完形填空Are you a digital hoarder?Most people are familiar with hoarding (囤积) and the psychological issues associated with it. Hoarding leads to messy homes and difficulty ____21____ with items that you don’t use and don’t even need. But hoarding can also occur in the digital world.Digital hoarding, also known as e-hoarding, is too much acquisition and ____22____ to delete electronic material no longer valuable to the user. Most computer users save digital files to some extent, and that’s expected. With digital hoarding, however, the act of saving the files becomes an uncontrollable ____23____. Digital hoarders may collect emails, photos, articles, podcasts, or any type of computer files they believe they may want to revisit in the future, and ultimately, in most cases, they ____24____ get to actually use it or listen to it or read it.Digital hoarding also occurs when someone is too ____25____ to the data even to consider getting rid of it. This can include chats and photos of an old partner, ____26____ sent by a long-lost friend, or even screenshots collected several years ago.Researchers have ____27____ digital hoarders into 4 different types, according to their characteristics. “Collectors” are organized, ____28____ and in control of their data. “Accidental hoarders”, also called “____29____ or disorganized hoarders”, don’t intentionally save unnecessary data. They just don’t know how to organize it. “The hoarders by instruction” keep data on behalf of their company (even when they could delete much of it). Finally, “anxious hoarders” have strong emotional ____30____ to their data — and are worried about deleting it.The problem has only gotten worse since we have more ____31____ to digital storage than ever. In addition, cloud storage makes it incredibly easy to purchase more storage as needed. With ____32____ cloud space, it’s logical when network users don’t think twice about saving files.However, studies found that digital hoarders experience increased levels of stress and now researchers are observing that the negative consequences of digital hoarding may be similar to those of ____33____ hoarding. ____34____, it’s important to set time aside to have a good clear-out, in the same way we do in the physical world. By organizing and____35____ useless files in a regular way, people with this problem can ease some of their distress and clear their own mind as well.21.A.stocking B.binding C.living D.parting 22.A.reluctance B.eagerness C.perspective D.fantasy 23.A.obstacle B.boost C.urge D.stream 24.A.substantially B.frequently C.autonomously D.rarely 25.A.transmitted B.closed C.attached D.assigned 26.A.flowers B.texts C.gifts D.letters 27.A.regulated B.categorized C.integrated D.stimulated 28.A.rigid B.generous C.patriotic D.systematic 29.A.disengaged B.enthusiastic C.reliable D.discriminated 30.A.appeals B.conflicts C.issues D.ties 31.A.access B.concern C.desire D.excuse 32.A.multiple B.secure C.limitless D.meaningless 33.A.massive B.regular C.casual D.physical 34.A.Instead B.However C.Otherwise D.Therefore 35.A.making use of B.taking care of C.getting rid of D.getting used to四、阅读理解Jacob hated finishing things almost as much as he loved starting them. As a result, he had gotten into a million hobbies and activities, but he never stuck with any of them long enough to get any good.He begged his mother for months for a guitar so that he could play Black Eyed Peas songs to Angie, a girl he liked, but after he finally got one for Christmas, he found out that guitars don’t play themselves. He took a few lessons, but the strings hurt his fingers and he didn’t like holding the pick, so now the five-hundred dollar guitar lives under his bed.After reading an ad in the back of one of his comic books, Jacob decided that he wanteda Wonder-Sweeper 5000 metal detector, so that he could find buried treasure. So he mowed lawns all summer and shoveled driveways all winter. He didn’t spend his money on ice-cream like his younger brother, Alex. By the time spring came he had saved $200, and he purchased the Wonder-Sweeper 5000 metal detector. He beeped it around the park for a while, be he soon found out that no one had ever left any treasure in his neighborhood. He buried the metal detector in his closest.Given Jacob’s history with hobbies, it was no surprise that Jacob’s father was reluctant to buy him a magician’s kit for his birthday. Jacob was insistent. “Dad, this time I’ll stick with it for real. I promise!” Jacob begged. Jacob’s father sighed. But he was reminded of his own youth long ago, when he quit football and started boxing practice before hardly getting his equipment dirty. So when Jacob’s birthday came around, Jacob was both surprised and pleased to find the magician’s kit that he had desired so badly. Jacob opened up the box and unwrapped the many parts in the kit. He took the many fake coins, trick cards, and rope pieces of varying length on the kitchen table and imagined pulling rabbits out of his hat and turning them into pigeons with a mysterious puff of smoke.As Jacob continued pulling plastic thumbs, foam balls, and giant playing cards out of the magic kit, a commercial on the TV caught his attention.“Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to go to space? Experience what it’s like to be an astronaut? Do you want to explore the universe? Well, now you can.” As the commercial continued playing, Jacob walked away from the magic kit on the kitchen table and stared at the TV screen longingly. “For only $195 you can go to space camp and live life like an astronaut for a whole weekend. Enroll now for a once in a life time experience.” Jacob’s cry rang throughout the house as he yelled, “MOM!” He now knew what his true purpose in life was.36.Why did Jacob stop playing the guitar?A.It hurt his fingers.B.He’d rather play drums.C.It was too expensive.D.He became interested in comic books. 37.Jacob’s father decided to buy him the magician’s kit because ________.A.Jacob was insistent on having it B.Jacob’s birthday was coming C.Jacob quit many expensive activities D.Jacob reminded his father of himself 38.Which of the following is Jacob most likely to do next based on the end of the story? A.Become a great magician.B.Learn to play guitar well.C.Detect an incredible hidden treasure.D.Raise money to go to space camp. 39.What can be learned about Jacob according to the passage?A.He was persistent in pursuing his dreams.B.He never stuck with anything for long. C.He has always wanted to be a magician.D.He finally found his true purpose in life.40.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A.Mount Yasur is a light tower on the Pacific Ocean.B.The history of volcano surfing dates back centuries.C.Bungee jumping grew out of land diving.D.Land diving came to Vanuatu from another country.41.The underlined word captivating is closest in meaning to ________.A.distressing B.charming C.disappointing D.relieving 42.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A.Untouched Beauty: V ANUA TU B.V olcano Adventure: V ANUA TU C.Extreme Destination: V ANUATU D.Preserved Culture: V ANUA TUA rich burial was unearthed by archaeologists at La Almoloya, southeastern Spain that is the cradle of the El Argar civilization, which lived in the region during the Bronze Age.La Almoloya was a primary center of politics and wealth in the El Argar territory, and although the discovery was made in 2014, experts are now taking a closer look at the sociological and political context of the unearthed treasure.The remains of a woman, along with a man who may have been her husband, were discovered in the forested hills of the area. Radiocarbon dating suggests the burial happened around 1700 BC.The pair were found with 30 objects containing precious metals andsemi-precious stones, including the silver diadem (王冠), which encircled the skull (颅骨) of the woman.Experts believe that the man in the grave was probably a warrior; wear and tear on his bones indicate he spent a lot of time on horseback, and his skull had deep scars from a facial injury, while gold plugs through his earlobes indicated he was someone of distinction.The woman, named the “Princess of La Almoloya”, was buried a short time after the man, with vast quantities of jewellery: bracelets, earlobe plugs and rings, to name a few. The grave goods of the woman were worth tens of thousands of dollars in today’s money.“We have two ways of interpreting this,” says archaeologist Roberto Risch of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. “Either you say, it’s just the wife of the king; or yousay, no, she’s a political personality by herself.”Risch is a co-author of a study that was recently published about the important findings, that noted the building under which the grave was found was of equal importance—a building specifically dedicated to governing purposes in Western Europe. A wide hall was excavated (挖掘), with high ceilings, a raised platform, and a capacity for more than 50 people to sit on benches that lined the walls. “It’s a building where people could be sitting listening to each other, or to someone explaining something,” says Risch, “There is no evidence of food and no clear-cut religious artefacts, so it doesn’t look like a home or a temple.”The discovery at La Almoloya shed new light on the politics and gender relations in one of the first urban societies of the West. Previous findings have revealed that women were considered adults at a much younger age than boys were. Excavated grave goods have highlighted that girls as young as six were buried with knives and tools, but boys would be in their teens by the time they would be buried alongside such objects.Additionally, the graves of some women from EI Argar were reopened generations later to bury other men and women, an unusual practice that experts believe would have been a very high honor. “What exactly their political power was, we don’t know,” Risch adds. “But this burial at La Almoloya questions the role of women in [Bronze Age] politics... it questions a lot of conventional wisdom.”43.The woman discovered at La Almoloya ________.A.proved to be a princess during the Bronze AgeB.was buried long after her husband’s deathC.lived in an ancient society called El ArgarD.was holding a silver diadem when unearthed44.The man in the grave was believed to be a warrior mainly because ________.A.he had gold plugs through his earlobes B.he was buried next to the woman C.he was buried with knives and tools D.he had injuries and scars on his bones 45.According to Risch, the ancient building seemed to ________.A.have been used for political meetings B.have served some religious purposes C.be the first temple built in Western Europe D.be specially dedicated to food trading 46.What can be inferred from the discovery at La Almoloya?A.Women were buried with more riches than men in the Bronze Age.B.The role of women in Bronze Age politics had been overestimated.C.Women may have been powerful rulers in the El Argar civilization.D.Women were considered adults at a much younger age than boys.五、六选四Quiet QuittingWhile not a new concept, the term “quiet quitting” has recently gained popularity on social media.What is quiet quitting?Quiet quitting doesn’t mean an employee has left their job, but rather has limited their tasks to avoid working longer hours. ____47____ They stick to what is in their job description and when they go home, they leave work behind them and focus on non-work duties and activities.____48____ It may also mean they are ready to change positions or may be currently looking for another job.Why are employees quiet quitting?Quiet quitting may be a popular term, but this practice isn’t new. Workers have quietly quit their jobs for years to look for something new, whether it was because of poor pay, unmanageable workload, burnout or lack of growth opportunities.Working from home has also changed the dynamics of the workplace because employees and managers are communicating in different ways through online meetings. These interactions may feel more formal than the chat sessions that happen in an office. Limited meetings can cause a disconnect between employees and management. ____49____How can businesses help employees?The biggest way to prevent disengagement is to improve the employee experience. Talk to employees, gather their feedback and discuss what can be done to make them feel appreciated. Make sure workloads are realistic and that there are appropriate boundaries to maintain a work-life balance. It’s important to check in with employees to make sure these boundaries are clear and help establish an open and honest relationship.Further, managers should clearly outline paths of career progression to each employee. ____50____ A recent report revealed that more than half of employees surveyed would accept 10% less pay in exchange for a “more interesting career path or more opportunities tolearn new skills”.A.Supporters argue that quiet quitting is a way to safeguard your mental health.B.They set clear boundaries to improve work-life balance.C.Regular support and praise that make employees feel valued and connected can get lost. D.Managers must learn how to have conversations to help employees reduce disengagement and burnout.E.However, quiet quitting could be a sign that an employee is not happy in their position. F.Employees are more likely to be engaged when they have specific targets.六、概要写作51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Why Don’t We Use the Math We Learn in School?How much of the math you’ve learned in school is used in everyday life? For the majority of people, the answer is surprisingly little. Clearly, some people learn math very well and apply it in everyday problem-solving settings. The question is why most people don’t, in spite of spending many years practicing it.The first explanation blames the failure of education. One of the major barriers to using a skill in real life is automaticity. We tend to find the least-effort solution to our problem. If struggling through a math problem is hard for you, you’ll find a different way to solve it that doesn’t rely on math. The familiar model for teaching mathematics revolves around teachers telling students certain rules, applying those rules to examples and students then practicing problems similar to the examples seen in class. By teaching in this way, a lot of the work and deep thought that went into the creation of these mathematical rules is lost. In that sense, people were never taught math thoroughly enough to use it automatically in real life.The second explanation is a little different. It argues that people may develop competence in math classes, but they struggle to translate real-life problems into a format where they can use their mathematics knowledge. This seems most apparent in the case of applying algebra (代数). Students struggle with algebra, but they particularly struggle with word problems. Yet, the equivalent real-life problems are typically much harder than word problems. From this perspective, what people struggle with is not doing math, butrecognizing where and how to apply math to real problems.Educational researchers now emphasize the importance of transfer and deep understanding. They believe we need to give students more training in noticing and converting everyday situations into the math problems they know how to solve. By using real-life math applications, students can make connections between math and everyday life.___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ______七、汉译英(整句)52.这位诗人偏爱乡间那悠闲的生活节奏。

In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state- funded scholarship.Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework andwere hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay.In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984). 4.What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine?A.The influence of her aunt.B.The desire to help the poor.C.Her family’s encouragement.D.The doctors’ financial support.5.Which of the following can best describe Crumpler?A.Humorous and easygoing.B.Caring and determined.C.Adventurous and sensitive.D.Optimistic and honest.6.Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school?A.Her family couldn’t afford her education.B.She failed to follow the school regulations.C.They felt negative about her determination.D.They doubted her ability to finish her study.7.What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph?A.Inspiring but unrealistic.B.Accessible and interesting.C.Educational but complicated.D.Groundbreaking and practical.The estimated number of monarch butterflies migrating (迁徙) to Mexico for winter has reached its second - lowest level ever for the 2023 to 2024 overwintering season. The estimate, based on the size of the butterflies’ hibernating forest area, has dropped by about 59% from the previous year, according to officials.Experts are pointing to extensive heat and drought as well as climate change for the major decline. Now monarch butterflies face three primary threats, including habitat loss for their breeding and overwintering; the use of pesticides, which can be toxic (有毒的) to the butterflies or can kill their food source, milkweed; and climate change, which can shift their migratory patterns. By the 2022 to 2023 overwintering season, World Wildlife Fund reported a 22% drop in theamount of overwintering monarch butterflies in Mexico.According to WWF, monarch butterflies once covered about 45 acres of forested land in Mexico during their 1996 to 1997 overwintering season. Last year, they covered 5.5 acres. With the 59% decline, the 2023 overwintering season saw the butterflies covering just 2.2 acres, The Associated Press reported. The lowest coverage ever recorded was 1.65 acres from 2013 to 2014. The largest amount of butterflies observed for the current overwintering season were around the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.“This is not the first time we’ve observed changes in the locations of the largest monarch colonies,” Jorge Rickards, general director of WWF Mexico, said in a statement. “It’s telling us that we need to strengthen conservation and restoration measures not only in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, but also outside of it.” According to the Center for Biological Diversity, monarch butterflies have declined by 85% in the past 20 years. The eastern monarch butterflies migrate from Canada and the U. S. to Mexico for overwintering. Western monarchs, which overwinter in California, have declined 99% in the past two decades.In 2020, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service noted that these butterflies do warrant protections under the Endangered Species Act, but there were higher-priority species to consider for listing. Biologist Ryan Drum, who works with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, told The Associated Press that the latest count would be considered this year when officials consider whether to list migratory monarch butterflies as threatened or even endangered.8.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.More butterflies are migrating to Mexico.B.The number of butterflies is getting larger.C.The size of forest area is decreasing faster.D.Monarch butterflies are facing survival crisis.9.How does the author show us the gravity of the problem concerning monarch butterflies?A.By listing concrete numbers.B.By describing typical scenes.C.By interviewing some scientists.D.By making reasonable predictions.10.What does Jorge Rickards suggest people do?A.Increase the number of the butterfly reserves.B.Observe the changing number of the butterflies.C.Take more actions to protect the butterflies.D.Distinguish eastern butterflies from western ones.11.What does the underlined word “warrant” mean in the last paragraph?A.Resist.B.Need.C.Support.D.Provide.A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design,two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”12.What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text?A.It is intelligent and works efficiently.B.It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.C.It is sustainable and convenient to carry.D.It is cost- effective but breaks down easily. 13.What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text?A.Emergency rescuers.B.Sea surfboarders.C.Rock- climbing lovers.D.Geological explorers.14.Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine?A.Their product obtains financial support.B.They want to gain direct access to wind.C.They attempt to prevent global warming.D.Their desired life promotes green rethink. 15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Wind: the world’s second clean energy.B.Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers C.The Shine Turbine: a green power product D.Outdoor lovers: environmentcampaignersGetting information out of a teenage boy can be difficult. The communication at this age features short answers to every question, a complete lack of eye contact. 16 Here are some ways for parents and other caregivers to learn how to talk to boys about their mental health.Many male teens don’t often show as much emotion or even give as many clues through body language. This requires parents and care providers to be much more attentive to facial expressions, and to the few words that they say. As parents, you need to talk less and listen more. Active listening will help earn his trust. 1718 Negative messages such as “Grow up.” or “Be a man.” send a message that being weak is wrong or that it’s not okay to feel what they are feeling. These types of messages keep boys from sharing their feelings.As a parent, a good way for any kind of personal or emotional question is to ask twice, but not too many times. The first time lets him know that you are interested; the second time shows that you care. 19 The bonds between parents and teenagers are proven to reduce anxiety and depression.Moreover, when a teen boy is willing to communicate, don’t interrupt. If you don’t let him finish talking, he may stop talking altogether. 20 When he’s ready to listen to you, let him know you will be with him together.A.Frank communication requires acceptance.B.Over time, he will be more likely to open up.C.Even if what you’ re hearing is scary, stay calm.D.Their eyes roll when you ask them about their life.E.Parents need to know more about male mental health.F.Communication is effective in the process of exercising.G.Showing concern and respect for personal space allows close ties.二、完形填空Last week I attended my aunt’s funeral (葬礼).

AThere are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in the Antarctic. Here are four landmarks in Antarctica and they’re named for the female pioneers.Jones Terrace(梯田)The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica’s Victoria Land bears Jones name. In 1969, geochemist Lois M. Jones led the first all-female research team from the US to work in Antarctica. Jones and her team studied chemical weathering(风化作用)in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, an ice-free area of Antarctica. Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected,Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley’s ice-covered lakes.Mount Fineness8,202-foot-high Mount Fineness,located on Antarctica’s largest island—Alexander Island-is named for Ginny Fineness. She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic. In 1985, Fineness became the first female invited to join the Antarctic Club, a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region. Francis PeakFrancis PeakThe 3,727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica’s Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis,who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey, the national polar researchinstitute of the UK. Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does.Peden CliffsPeden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic,where she used radio waves to study ice sheets. Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.1. Which of the following is named after a builder of radio towers in the Antarctic?A. Peden Cliffs.B. Francis Peak.C. Mount Fineness.D. Jones Terrace.2. Who helped prove the previous higher temperatures of the Antarctica?A. Irene Peden.B. Dame Jane Francis.C. Ginny Fineness.D. Lois M.Jones.3. What was special about Irene Peden according to the text?A. She could judge the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.B. She discovered a lot of ice-covered lakes in the Antarctic.C. She was the first female American to explore the Antarctic.D. She correctly measured the spreading speed of radio waves.BThe famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said,“I always do what I can’t do so that I can learn how to do it.”It strikes a chord(引起共鸣)with me because that’s exactly what I’ve done these years.One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones(烤饼)when I was about 10 years old. I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home.Before that I’d observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn’t know I shouldn’t handle the dough(面团)with my hands too much once I’d added the baking powder(发酵粉).However,I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me.By the time my mom arrived home,the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection—flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen,which was like a tornado had just blown!Have my attempts always been successful?I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn’t live to see another season.But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn,I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do!4. What can we learn about the author’s first experience of baking scones?A. She practiced hard before actually trying.B. She turned to her mom when necessary.C. She wanted to perform better than her mom.D. She managed to do it despite a little imperfection.5. How did Mom respond to the author’s attempt?A. She made improvements to the scones.B. She expressed her appreciation for the job.C. She shared her first experience of baking.D. She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen.6. What does the author think of her practices of“doing before learning”?A. They are just a barely usable method.B. Most of them have ended up in failure.C. They contribute a lot to her self-improvement.D. They only apply to the learning of specific skills.7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To stress the importance of keeping learning.B. To show the benefits of doing before learning.C. To encourage people to do something they can’t do.D. To call on readers to change their way of learning.CScientists believe nature is good for our well-being. But what’s the secret that brings about the benefit? A recent study by researcher Craig Anderson and his workmates suggests it could be awe(敬畏)—that sense of being in the presence of something greater than ourselves that fills us with wonder.The first part of the study had some people go on a four-day river rafting(漂流)trip. They rowed through dangerous rapids in the forested areas in California. They also camped out in the wild. Before and after the trip, they reported on their well-being, including their stress levels and satisfaction with life. During the trip, they kept diaries about their sentiments, including whether they’d felt awe, peace, gratitude, joy, or pride that day. At the end of the trip, their well-being had increased greatly. After the trip, the researchers discovered awe—above other positive emotions—seemed to explain the improvement.In the second part,Anderson studied whether awe played a role in more ordinary, everyday nature experiences. The answer is also yes. This is good news, says Anderson, because sometimes it’s not that easy for people to have long wilderness trips.“You don’t have to do amazing experiences in nature to feel awe,” says Anderson.“By taking a few minutes to enjoy flowers or a sunset,you also improve your well-being.“Anderson says that awe may benefit well-being by causing a“small self”—a sense that you will have when you’re in the presence of something bigger than yourself,which may make worries and stresses less significant by comparison.But he also says that there could be other ways that nature experiences improve our well-being,besides causing awe. For example, the related physical exercise in nature could have made a difference, too. Anyway, Anderson believes there’s enough evidence to encourage us to add more nature to our daily life.”People need to slow down and make space for that in their lives,”Anderson says.8. What did the study by Anderson and his workmates mainly find?A. The benefits a trip has on people.B. What interests travelers in nature.C. The views people have about nature.D. What makes being in nature beneficial.9. What does the underlined word“sentiments”in paragraph 2mean?A. Feelings.B. Desires.C. Discoveries.D. Experiences.10. How does awe take effect according to the text?A. By stressing the greatness of nature.B. By helping people forget their worries.C. By encouraging people to be lost in nature.D. By making people’s problems seem less serious.11. What does Anderson suggest people do?A. Make time to do exercise.B. Show respect to nature.C. Get in touch with nature.D. Make a comparison with others.DOsa is an athletic yet stubborn 62-pound German shepherd(德国牧羊犬). The six-year-old dog has mastered the art of sniffing(嗅) out cancer and is key to a research project that has the potential to change oncology(肿瘤学).Osa is part of an ambitious effort launched five years ago at the University of Pennsylvania that aims to develop one of the most powerful scent-detection machines in the world: the canine nose. She is able to distinguish between blood samples taken from cancer patients and their healthy peers simply by sniffing them.In fact,Osa is one of five cancer-detection dogs trained by Annmarie DeAngelo and her co-workers at the university’s Penn Vet Working Dog Center. The most important goal is to develop an “electronic sniffer” that can approach the cancer-sniffing superpowers of Osa and her partners. Osa arrived at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center from a breeder at two months of age. Ever since, she has taken training. The process is demanding,challenging and repeated until the dog has mastered the most essential task of all. Finally, she has succeeded in sniffing out cancer. To transform Osa’s remarkable abilities into an electronic nose, researchers use a similar approach to train the machine.An electronic nose prototype(雏形)has been built, and it’s successful in sniffing out cancer 90to 95 per cent of the time. That team has also correctly detected different types of cancer, and is building a cancer-detecting device for the National Institutes of Health. One objective is to be able to distinguish between early- and late-stage cancer.“It would be incredible to identify people at an early stage and really have an impact on saving lives,”says a researcher.“The dogs have been able to detect that. With that ability, a blood test could be sent to a central lab, or ideally performed in a doctor’s office, making some hidden cancers a thing of the past. We expect that the cancer-sniffer device will be complete in a short time.”12. What can we learn about Osa from the first two paragraphs?A. She used to be a strong German dog.B. She was hard to deal with in the research.C. She uses her nose to know the presence of cancer.D. She can change the development of the oncology.13. Which word can best describe the training Osa received?A. Strict.B. Complex.C. Unstable.D. Endless.14. What can we infer from the researcher’s words in the last paragraph?A. Blood tests will be more difficult in the future.B. There will be more dogs used for detecting cancer.C. Distinguishing cancers is important in early experiments.D. Hidden cancers may be detected by an electronic nose soon.15. What is the most suitable title for the text?A. The Results of a Study on Special DogsB. The Importance of Dogs in Detecting CancersC. The Approaches to Distinguishing CancersD. The Problem of Having a Cancer Blood Test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。

四川省绵阳市2024届高三上学期第一次诊断性模拟测试英语试卷(含答案)
四川省绵阳市2024届高三上学期第一次诊断性模拟测试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Women are equally responsible for the growth of a free, modern society. Here’s a look at some outstanding women who made great contributions to world history.Maria Sibylla MerianToday, children can explain how a caterpillar (毛毛虫) turns into a butterfly (蝴蝶). But there was a time when no one knew this --not even scientists. Thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian, we know the truth about these beautiful winged insects. Merian was fascinated by insects, and she began collecting, studying, and drawing them when she was as young as 13. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles.Beryl MarkhamBeryl Markham was quite incredible in not just aviation (航空) but several other industries, including horse racing. In 1936, at age 33, Markham became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic alone from the east to the west, nonstop. The pilot played a role in the classic best-selling novel and film, Out of Africa, and had many biographies penned about her talents and life.Madam C. J. WalkerMadam C J. Walker developed a condition that caused her to lose her hair, and with it, an interest in hair care. She began working for black hair care entrepreneur ( 企业家) Annie Turnbo Malone. Eventually, Walker began making and marketing her own hair care products designed for African-American women. Her company developed into the successful Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. She is widely recognized as America’s first black female self-made millionaire.Hedy LamarrYou might know Hedy Lamarr from the silver screen; she starred in many films. But her film career is far from her only achievement; she was also a brilliant inventor. In 1942, she received a patent for an invention that could change radio signal frequencies. It paved the way for much of the wireless technology we use today.1、Who had a lot of enthusiasm for the study of insects?A. Hedy LamarrB. Beryl MarkhamC. Madam C. J. WalkerD. Maria Sibylla Merian2、What made Madam C. J. Walker begin to focus on the hair care?A. Her losing her hair.B. A type of hair care product.C. Annie Turnbo Malone’s success.D. Her wish to help African Americans.3、What is special about Hedy Lamar?A. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic alone.B. She was both a film star and an inventor.C. She was a successful businesswoman.D. She was a best-selling writer.When Virginia Norwood was in high school in the 1940s, her guidance teacher advised her to become a librarian instead of a physicist. Luckily, she ignored him. “I was always enthusiastic about mathematical problems and physics,” said Norwood. Also, her father, an electrical engineer, was very important to her. By 1972, Norwood, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate and engineer at Hughes Aircraft Company, had designed a vital component of Landsat 1, the first satellite launched into space to monitor Earth’s surface. Satellites in the Landsat series still provide valuable data to scientists worldwide and Landsat 9 was successfully launched on 27 September, 2021, almost 50 years after the first one.Norwood’s contribution was the multispectral scanner (多光谱扫描仪) 一a sensor thatenergy reflected from Earth and could transmit (传输) data digitally to researchers on the ground. The scanner enabled scientists to track forest loss, crop productivity, and the spread of deserts, and to map inaccessible features of Earth’s physical structures such as glaciers and ice sheets. “She cleared the way for an entire generation of... Earth observation instruments,”says NASA’s Jeffrey Masek, a Landsat proje ct scientist.Norwood’s device was included in the first several satellites launched through the Landsat program, a joint effort by NASA and the US Geological Survey. Other satellites have since surpassed the Landsat series in resolution and scanning abilities, but the continuity of the Landsat database over the decades makes it a gold standard in Earth imaging.4、What inspired Norwood to pursue physics?A. Her interest in the subject.B. Her father’s job as a physicist.C. Her guidance teacher’s advice.D. Her enthusiasm about the Landsat program.5、What does the underlined word “calibrated” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Detected.B. Described.C. Adjusted.D. Reflected.6、What is the author’s attitude towards the Landsat series?A. Appreciative.B. Contradictory.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.7、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. A Joint Effort to Monitor Earth’s SurfaceB. Meet the Landsat Pioneer-Virginia NorwoodC. A Great Contribution-the Multispectral ScannerD. Satellites Launched Through the Landsat ProgramLondon Mayor Sadiq Khan’s announcement that all primary school pupils in the city will receive free school meals from September is a welcome move amid rising food and energy prices. The £130 million plan rejects means-testing (经济状况调查) in favor of a universal scheme, which many see as a smart political move and a good policy. Universal public services such as this create shared understanding and gain political legitimacy, as they enable individuals to live at a reasonable standard.The current tax and benefit system in the UK leaves millions of children in poverty and hunger, and means-testing is neither fair nor efficient. Parents claiming universal credit in England must have a household income of less than £7,400 to qualify for free school meals. An estimated 800,000 children living in poverty do not get free school meals due to the eligibility criteria being so restrictive. Another 200,000 are eligible but have not accessed them because enrolment is not automatic.The initiative has been welcomed by many for its potential to reduce child obesity rates and improve pupil attainment. The Impact on Urban Health thinktank estimates that making free school meals universal will generate £1.71 in economic and social benefits for every £1 invested.Unfortunately, the government seems more interested in rationing access to welfare than helping people get the support they need. Means-testing is often justified on the grounds that it diverts resources to the most needy, but this argument falls apart when thousands of children are going hungry and struggling to learn at school.The move towards universal free school meals in London is a step in the right direction and shows an appetite for experimentation necessary to flesh out the future of the post-Covid welfare state. While some parents on higher salaries may benefit, focusing on this would be missing the point: universal services pay for themselves. By investing in our children’swellbeing and education, we create a healthier, more prosperous soc iety for everyone. It’s time to reject the divisive politics of means-testing and embrace universal public services that benefit us all.8、What is the aim of London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s plan?A. To reduce child obesity rates.B. To improve pupils’ achievement in primary schools.C. To help pupils from poor families handle hunger.D. To ensure means-testing an access to free school meals.9、Why do many people view the universal scheme as a good policy?A. It creates more jobs.B. It benefits individuals.C. It is a divisive politics of means-testing.D. It generates economic and social benefits.10、Why is means-testing an inefficient means to address children’s hunger?A. It runs without political legitimacy.B. The qualification criteria are too restrictive.C. The argument about means-testing falls apart.D. It doesn’t include the current tax and benefit system.11、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Obstacles to Universal Free School Meals in LondonB. The Pros and Cons of Means-Testing for Free School MealsC. A Plan to Provide Free School Meals to Pupils in LondonD. The Impact of Universal Public Services on Poverty and HungerAncient Fish Returns to Illinois WatersThe Illinois Department of Natural Resources is returning a fish called the alligator gar to the state’s rivers. Some people call the fish a “living fossil.” Experts believe the fish first appeared during the Early Cretaceous period more than 100 million years ago.Randy Sauer is an Illinois state fisheries biologist. He says the fish disappeared from the state’s rivers in the 1990s, although they have continued to do well in southern states. Sauer says biologists want to bring the fish back to northern rivers “because it is important to have top predators to balance the species below them,” he said.Sport fishermen like to try to catch the alligator gar. Alligator gar are the second-largest freshwater fish in North America. They can grow as large as 2.7 meters and weigh more than136 kilograms. Sauer says their large size is one reason they disappeared in the 1990s. Experts say alligator gars are “opportunistic feeders.” This means they will eat almost anything --including small turtles or ducks. They also eat invasive species such as Asian and silver carp.Sauer hopes the re-introduction of the alligator gar will help the state’s efforts to control the carp. Because gar can live up to 60 years, the program will continue to increase for many years.Sauer notes that female alligator gars do “not sexually matu re until 11 years, and the male not till 6 or 7 years.” That means the biologists will try to raise and release a lot of fish early in the program to re-introduce them.Small devices have been placed in 7,000 of the fish so they can be observed after they are released into the waterways of Illinois. As it rains and floods, biologists expect some of the fish will follow the rivers into the states of Louisiana and Texas.12、Why people call the alligator gar “living fossil”?A. They can grow up to 2.7 meters.B. They can grow up to 136 kilograms.C. Their fossil can be found on earth.D. They have existed for over 100 million years.13、Biologists will bring the alligator gar back to northern rivers in order to _______.A. keep the species balance.B. help people make more money.C. help to protect the environment.D. increase the number of the alligar gar.14、According to Randy Sauer, alligar gar died out in northern rivers probably because _______.A. they ate almost anything.B. they were caught by sport fishermen.C. they were very huge in size.D. the rivers were polluted then.15、What can we learn from the underlined statement?A. It will be decades before these fish produce young.B. There is a long way to go before the fish find each other.C. 10 or 20 years will be needed to find these fish.D. These fish can find each other themselves along the waterways.二、七选五16、EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. ①______ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. ②______There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. ③______ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. ④______ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.What’s the best way to up your EQ? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. ⑤______ To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,”Freed says.D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.三、完形填空(20空)I love roller coasters.

An unconventional “teen romance”, it follows Suzume, a 16-year-old ②_______ mother was killed in an earthquake some years ago. One day when she ③_______ (cycle) to school, she bumps into a handsome student named Souta, who turns out to be a “Closer” — a person ④_______ (charge) with “closing doors to another world”. When “a Ginormous, city-destroying worm” escapes from that other world. Souta and Suzume must join forces to stop it. “There is a touch of Stranger Things” to this “rich” tale, which mines the “trauma felt by the young ⑤_______ (follow) Japan’s 2011 earthquake and tsunami”; and th e result is “extraordinary enough to appeal ⑥_______ even non-anime fans”. The film has rather a lot of chase sequences which become “repetitive”; but it has real merit. With its “stark warnings about the real risk of ecological disaster”, Suzume is a “pow erful coming-of-age tale ⑦_______ plucks at the heartstrings” while delivering some real laughs along the way. It is beautiful to look at too. An “epic adventure about hormone-fuelled teenagers facing up to ⑧_______ (environment) destruction”, the film is sometimes a “little too worthy for its own good”. Still, it has“boundless ambition, and the courage ⑨_______ (place) weighty issues ⑩_______ the heart of a kids’ film”.五、短文改错38、假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

AMy mother has always instilled in me the importance of education. Education is essential. It will help me get accepted to college if I perform well academically and advance my opportunities for success in the future. Most jobs now require at least a high school diploma, and for many jo bs, a college degree is preferred. It is important that all students have excellent educators in their life to help them achieve and have the opportunity to go to college, get a job, support themselves and their family, and impact the community.As we celebrate and honor all teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, I’ve reflected on the impact my teachers have had, and will continue to have, in my life. From Mr. Bowker, who challenged me in math, to Mr. Bernsteen, my health teacher who taught me the value of hard work, my teachers have helped shape the student I am today. But one of the teachers who left a lasting impression on me was my summer school teacher, Mr. Davis, who impacted me beyond the classroom. He found time to connect with me on a personal level and talk to me after class. I felt like Mr. Davis cared about my academic success and was committed to setting an example of what’s possible.Mr. Davis could relate to what it was like to be a rising ninth-grade black male in today’s society. He taught me how to speak up confidently and share my ideas with others. He told me that I was brilliant and that when I spoke, the world should listen. And when I would put my hand down because I was unsure of my answer, Mr. Davis would immediately say, “No guts, no glory.” He never made me feel inadequate; he encouraged me to always pursue knowledge because he, too, was learning every day. Mr. Davis helped me navigate the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities.I think having more black male teachers like Mr. Davis in the classroom could increase students’ success. They would share the background and experiences of many of their students and help build long-lasting teacher/student relationships. But, unfortunately, the likelihood that students of color in Nevada will have a teacher that looks like them is one of the lowest in the country.As the student population becomes more ethnically diverse, teachers in Nevada still are predominantly (显著地)white. According to a 2012 Education Week report, in the Clark County School District, nearly 70 percent of students identified as students of color, but 76 percent of teachers were white. The numbers for black male teachers are more discouraging. Just 2 percent of teachers nationwide are black men.But you can help change the numbers. Whether you decide to study education in college or graduate school, or apply to programs in Las Vegas such as Teach For America, I hope more black males will consider teaching as a career.My peers and I need more examples of excellence and success inclassrooms—examples who look like us. You can be the model to impact our life and push us to achieve. You can ensure that, when we look to the front of the room, we can see a little bit of ourselves reflected back.21. Mr. Davis left the author with a very deep impression mainly because he ________.A. was extremely knowledgeable and hard-workingB. was a role model to teach hearts and change mindsC. spent much time helping the author with his homeworkD. kept in close touch with the author even after graduation22. The underlined word “guts” in Paragraph3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. braveryB. connectionC. opportunityD. qualification23. By writing the passage, the author intends to ________.A. show students’ love for their teachersB. appeal to more black males to be teachersC. express sympathy for students of colorD. advertise for black male teachersBThousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy(补贴) by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of theInternet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Therefore, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.24. Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with theirvehicles?A. Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving a llowances.B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiringapps.C. Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire theprivate cars.D. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to t he authority.25. The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service i s __________.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclear26. Which of the following statements is True?A. All the taxi drivers in China benefit a lot from taxi-hiring apps.B. Taxi drivers mainly complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy bythe government.C. The Internet-based car-hiring services have become popular all over China.D. The Internet-based car-hiring services are challenging the traditional taxiindustry.27. We can learn from the passage that __________.A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companiesB. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi ZhuancheC. it is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegalD. some international investment companies have strong faith in the future ofapps-based car rental companiesCService Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains.
