Hard work is not the whole story. It's not how long you sit at the desk. It's 1 you do while you are sitting.Studying is a matter of personal preference（偏爱）. Some people like working late at night when the house is2 ，while others like doing their work3 in the morning. No matter which way you use, try to do your best.Studying is your business and business comes after entertainment（娱乐）. When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks uneaten.

As Stel1a says, “The first time I 10．(stand) in front of an audience I was scared. But now I really enjoy it.”Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary “My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial （财政的）security(安全，保障). Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men. However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol（酒精）. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism. 1．Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald’s life according to the passage?a. He became addicted to drinking.b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.e. He failed to reorder his life.f. He joined the army and met Zelda.A．f-c-e-a-b-d B．b-e-a-f-c-dC．f-d-e-c-b-a D．b-f-c-d-e-a2．We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald_______.A．had made some money when he met Zelda in AlabamaB．was well educated and well off before he served in the armyC．would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken downD．helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital3．The passage is probably followed by a concluding(总结的) paragraph about_____.A．Zelda’s personal lifeB．Fitzgerald’s contributions to the literary worldC．Fitzgerald’s friendship with GrahamD．Zelda’s illness and treatmentB14、When you were very young, you liked to play with your friends. Did you find that playtime was always more fun when everyone shared the toys? Everyone got a turn. No one was left out.That’s a life lesson that changes as you get older. As you grow up, you begin to understand that others have less than you do －in China and in the world. And that those of us who “have” things should help those who “ have less” than we do. The idea of sharing____________.At your age, you can “share” with people in need in three ways.1. You can give them a part of your money. Many adults do that regularly.2. You can share items you no longer use, such as clothing and toys. You can pass them onto others who cannot buy them.3. You can help people by giving your time and your energy.The last one is also called volunteering. Volunteering is about giving your time to take part in activities that will help others. Every year, many thousands of volunteers in the world give the most valuable gift of all. They give their time. They give thei r talent. They give of themselves. And they are enjoying it. Volunteering isn’t just about work. It’s about fun too.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，将其标号填入题前括号内。

At the beginning, I wasn’t captain and I was the weakest player of the whole team. At that time, nobody wanted to make friends with me. Then I trained harder and harder. I made a lot of effort to catch up with the team. As the old saying goes—no pains, no gains. After a lot of hard work, I finally became a good player. My teammates wanted to make friends with me. If you want to be a good friend, always remember to make yourself stronger and stronger.Now I’m 14. My friends and I have a lot of stress at school. I’m good at math and one of my best friends is good at English. We often help each other. I help him make progress in math. It really does work! Many of my classmates who are bad at math come to ask me for help. They become my friends as well…Be a helpful study fellow（伙伴）if you want to be a good friend.

Some beaches, however, are not safe for swimming.At some beaches, there are sharks in the water. So people put out shark nets. They help stop too many sharks from getting close to the beach. Sharks can still swim under or around the net. But if they try to swim through, they will get caught. Sharks can die if they are not cut free.Shark nets don’t just catch sharks. They can catch other animals, too. They have caught dolphins, stingrays and turtles. Even a whale has been caught in a shark net. I took many people to get it free.Some animals are not so lucky. They are killed in the nets. One day, a whale was swimming with her calf. The calf got caught in a shark net. The mother whale tried to get the calf to come with her. The calf was caught in the net. It couldn’t get free. The mother had to watch it die.Many people think shark nets should not be used. Sharks are important to the ocean. They eat sick and dead fish. They help to keep the ocean clean. Sharks are the lions and the tigers of the sea.Some people think there are other ways to keep beach safe for people. Sharks potters are people who watch for sharks. They go to a high place. Then they can look down on the beach. If they see a shark, a siren（汽笛）will sound. They put up a white flag. Then people get out of the water.After all, the water is a shark’s home.14．What can we know about shark nets according to the passage?A．They are used to keep sharks from coming near the beach.B．People place them to catch sharks, dolphins, stingrays and turtles.C．Sharks will be caught when they get close to them.D．All the animals caught by them are set free.15．What does the underlined word “calf” mean in paragraph 4?A．A huge whale.B．A young whale.C．A father whale.D．A mother whale.16．What does the writer imply（暗示）about the beach safety?A．People should keep away from beaches.B．Everyone should work as a shark spotter.C．It’s not the best way to put out shark nets.D．Some dangerous beaches should be shut down.读下面的文章，然后判断文章后面各小题，正确的答案写“T”，错误的答案写“F”。

Many experts give their advice on it. In order to know a foreign language, four things are 1 . First, we must understand the language when we hear it. Second, we should speak it correctly, with confidence. Third, we must read the language and write it. In addition, we must make sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know 2 to arrange sentences in paragraphs, in order to write a good article. There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is of great help,3 it is not enough to simply memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not very helpful to only4 long lists of words and their meanings by heart. We learn words not by ourselves, but by using the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is the best5 .

When he was born, his right hand didn’t fully develop, with only tiny fingers at the end of his arm. So he learned to write, eat and carry books with only one hand. Over the years, the 15-year-old lost hope that anything would change.Peralta said on his first day of high school he honestly felt like hiding his hand in his sleeve, so nobody would ever find out. But his classmates, to his surprise, supported him in a way he never expected. The school’s engineering teacher, Jeff Wilkins, came and told him that his fellow students might be able to help.“They ended up offering, ‘We could build your prosthetic (假体的) hand,’ and I never expected it,” he told CBS News. “Like, never in a million years.” Three students used their access to online models of prostheses and a 3D printer to make a plan. After four weeks, their project came to fruition. They used polylactic acid (聚乳酸), a common material in 3D printing that’s also used to make electronic devices, as the hand’s main fabric. They applied another plastic material commonly found in phone shells to make the fingers spread and squeeze objects. And they added a fishing line, so Peralta could fix the hand to his forearm.Bob Cotter, the principal of Hendersonville High School, told the BBC that his students are encouraged to turn concepts “into reality”, adding that Peralta’s new prosthesis is “a proof to the students who care about each other”.Peralta-who grew up learning to do everything with his left hand-was even able to catch a baseball with the prosthetic hand created by his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started freaking out.” Peralta said with a smile. “It was the first time I caught a ball with my right hand in my IS years.”4．How did Sergio feel about his hand when he started high school?A．He felt at a loss for it.B．He felt unaffected by itC．He was optimistic about it.D．He was open to accepting it5．What do we know about the prosthesis made by Peralta’s classmates?A．It was finished in four months.B．It could be controlled by a phone.C．Its main material is polylactic acid.D．Its fingers were not flexible enough. 6．What does Peralta’s new prosthesis show according to Bob Cotter?A．The students’ critical thinking.B．The students’ imagination.C．The students’ determination.D．The students’ mutual support. 7．What does the underlined phrase “freaking out” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Feeling panicked.B．Becoming overjoyed.C．Calming down.D．Showing concern.Middle school. For teens and their parents. the two words can arouse anxiety, fear and even horror. Kids are, all of a sudden, really growing up. Their bodies are changing: they’re dropping some of their childhood interests and trying on new ones. Friendships form and are torn apart. Academic expectations grow bigger.But some books-like the novel Curlfriends: New in Town, written and drawn by Sharee Miller-remind us of the many possibilities and excitements that present themselves within those challenging years.The book follows 12-year-old Charlie Harper, beginning her first day of middle school. This is no small change, and in order ta cope. Charlie promises to “completely reinvent” herself. She is tired of letting other people label her and is ready to take control of her own story. What follows is a series of meetings, first with Nola. She introduces Charlie to her lunchtime crew. The girls come together around shared particulars of their lives-homework. girlhood and fashion -even if their differences in tastes and personalities create cracks of uncertainty from time to time.Curlfriends is a delightful book packed with sunny illustrations. It also cuts into the heart of the challenging tensions that are part of this intermediate stage of life. Young teens want to be known and seen by others, but they are also coming to terms with who they are. It can be tricky, for example, to distinguish between the passions and pastimes that your parents picked for you and those you actively care to pursue. It can be difficult to figure out what youlike and what you are like.Curlfriends is also a book about finding one’s passions, responsibilities and independence despite changing situations. It is as much about expressions of self-respect as it is about showing care for others. The one constant in Charlie’s life is her love of drawing. and it’s through art that she figures out how to mark her place in middle school. It’s not all under her control, but, as with good art, sometimes mistakes along the way end up making for the most amazing details.8．What is the central theme explored in Curlfriends: New in Town?A．The challenges of studies during the teenage years.B．The difficulty of making new friends in middle school.C．The transformations and opportunities in growing up.D．The impact of parental expectations on teenagers.9．What does Charlie plan to do in middle school?A．Listen to others more carefully.B．Follow her heart and passions.C．Live up to her parents’ expectations.D．Be more confident and outgoing. 10．What is the tone of the book Curlfriends: New in Town?A．Serious and formal.B．Light-hearted and inspiring.C．Humorous and carefree.D．Cold and indifferent.11．What can be the best title of the text?A．Finding Her Place B．Maintaining Friendships.C．Changing with Times.D．Seeking the Passions.In the summer of 2019, Tomas Quinones was undertaking a seven-day “bikepacking” trip, covering some remote desert in Southern Oregon, US. His trip had been marked with the usual minor troubles. But there had also been those moments of unexpected kindness from strangers.On the last day of his trip, he was riding down a dusty track when he came upon a man lying unconscious on the desert floor. Quinones tried to give him some water with little success. Luckily, he called the emergency rescue team and an ambulance arrived within an hour. “I never had a doubt about what I would do,” he said. Quinones, who’d received some gestures of help over the course of his trip, paid it forward.The odds are, if you’ve spent any time in the wild, you’ll have experienced thesegestures of kindness from strangers or given them yourself too even if they were nothing so dramatic as the aid given by Quinones.So what is it about being outside in nature that makes people want to help others? The first explanation is that in the wild, there may not be any other help. According to the “bystander effect”, the more people who are in the presence of someone needing help, the less likely any of those people are to actually provide it.But another idea is that there is something about nature itself that seems to promote “prosocial” attitudes. As a recent study suggests, exposure to nature can promote feelings of transcendence-a sense of connection to other people, to the world around us and to the universe.When we take adventure into the wild, we are easy to get hurt. And that makes us look at the world differently. So, in the wild, where we lose our normal possessions, surroundings and identities, we seem more willing to go the extra mile for someone. It’s in nature that we can learn new things about humanity.12．What can we know about Tomas Quinones’ trip in 2019?A．He passed on the kindness he’d received.B．He was saved by a fellow traveler.C．He got tost for some time in the desert D．He came across unexpected dangers. 13．Why does the author write about Tomas Quinones’ story?A．To suggest the unstoppable power of nature.B．To highlight the risks of traveling alone.C．To introduce a common phenomenon.D．To question connections between people. 14．What might happen if many people were present when somebody needed help, according to the “bystander effect”?A．They might offer help immediately.B．They might be unwilling to help.C．They might encourage others to help.D．They might blame the person in need. 15．Why are we more likely to help strangers when in the wild, according to the text?A．Exposure to nature boosts our confidence.B．We are more clear-headed in natural environments.C．Fear promotes our desire for connection with nature.D．Feeling small in the wild makes us tend to act big.You may not get enough physical activity throughout the day, especially since sitting stillis required or encouraged in many jobs, at school, and in social situations. But there’sinactive or sedentary (久坐的).What counts as being physically inactive?While there is no strict definition of what can be considered a sedentary lifestyle, researchers have a few different measures to assess what a sedentary lifestyle is. One measure is the time an individual spends seated during waking hours. 17 . Some other researchers label people inactive or sedentary if they take fewer than 5, 000 steps per day.Is physical inactivity dangerous?18 It can also affect the way the body processes fats and sugars in the diet and lead to some weight gain if you aren’t burning enough calories. Over the long term, sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of death from heart discase and cancer.How can you prevent being inactive?Health authorities recommend exercise at a medium level for either 30 minutes a day for five days a week or a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes per week. 19 . It can work to break up sitting time and add steps hourly throughout the day. A pedometer or fitness band can show you whether you are getting enough steps. Many people aim to take 10. 000 steps per day, which indicates that you have met your daily physical activity goal. 20 , but the value of being more physically active is worth it for its many benefits.A．Walking is an easy activity to add to your dayB．There are many options for exerciseC．Being physically inactive or sedentary can increase health risksD．In the short term, being inactive can increase depression or anxietyE．Fixing a sedentary lifestyle takes some conscious effort at firstF．Spending four to six waking hours sitting or lying down is considered sedentaryG．Simply walking more or doing household chores positively impacts health二、完形填空I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in mymy friends who were exchanging news in “chat rooms”, all of which I knew nothing about.

The nobleman was ashamed to admit (承认) that he had burned his mouth and answered, “Sir, I once had a brother who committed a great crime, for which he was hanged(绞刑）I was thinking of his death, and that made me weep.” The businessman believed this story and began to eat his soup. He too burned his mouth, so that he had tears in his eyes. The nobleman noticed it and asked the businessm an, “Sir, why do you weep?” The businessman, who now saw that the nobleman had cheated him, answered, “____________”根据短文内容选择正确答案。

2023-2024学年浙江省五校联盟高三下学期3月联考英语试题Oklahoma School Testing Program for English Language ArtsPurposeThis testing assessment system utilizes different types of assessment to gather multiple pieces of evidence to provide timely, relevant, actionable, and reliable information about what students know and can do relative to a set of standards.Test Structure, Format, and ScoringThe English Language Arts operational test is meant to be administered in two sessions within one day with a break between sessions or on two instructional days in a row. Each section of the test consists of 25 operational items and 5 field-test items.Short constructed-response items provide students with the opportunity to respond to items in their own words.

Technology-enhanced items are worth one point and are scored as correct or incorrect.Test Administration DetailsPaper/pencil testing is administrated in this test. Due to the nature of a paper test booklet, students may have to flip pages to read passages and to read the associated test items.Students will be able to use scratch paper and/or unmarked grid (方格) paper for the paper. The scratch paper must be collected and destroyed by the test administrator immediately following the test.1. How many test items are there in total?A．25. B．30. C．50. D．60.2. What is prohibited in the test?A．Taking away scratch paper. B．Using a Pencil.C．Using unmarked grid paper. D．Flipping pages.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A．A textbook. B．A course plan. C．An exam paper. D．An examguideline.It is October again. It has been a year since my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer; a year since she started her good, brave fight. It has been a year marked with so many milestones, so many shared smiles and secret fears.Usually, children, with eyes that see all and minds that are still free to wonder, are extraordinarily accepting the changes in routine, the shift in seasons. This week, however, when I took my two younger boys with me for a visit to Mom’s without telling her in advance, Sean ran into her bedroomto greet her, then quickly returned to the living room t o talk to me. “Mom,” my four-year-old whispered, careful not to be overheard or offending, “Grandma has no hair.”Mom came through her surgery that removed the tumor (肿瘤) in her lung with faith and grace. She also came through thin and tired. And the side effect was total hair loss. It should grow back eventually, but my mother decided to have a wig (假发) to cover her head. She wears it mostly for the comfort of others. When she is alone, she usually leaves her head uncovered, finding the wig uncomfortable when unnecessary.“Grandma has no hair,” Sean said, because we had caught her by surprise.“I know, Sean. Isn’t it funny?” I asked him as my mom joined us in the living room. We explained to him that Grandma had to take medicine that made her hair go away, but it would come back. “Would you like to touch my head, Sean?” my mother asked as my son stared at her, his blue eyes filled with questions and curiosity. It is surprising to see your mother—or anyone you love—without hair, but surprisingly it’s somethin g that you can get used to quickly. We are, after all, not really these bodies—these are just the shells that transport who we are, and no matter what the physical changes, those connected by love seem to be able to recognize their own.4. What has happened to Grandma over the year?A．She has refused others’ visits.B．She has pulled through the cancer.C．She has lost her fight with the tumor. D．She has recovered without side effects. 5. Why was Sean surprised when visiting Grandma?A．Because he found Grandma tired and thin.B．Because just overheard Grandma’s cancer.C．Because he couldn’t accept Grandma’s appearance.D．Because he had never seen Grandma hairless before.6. Which of the following can best describe Grandma?A．Loving and optimistic. B．Loyal and honest.C．Humble and committed. D．Generous and humorous.7. What message does the author convey in the text?A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．Never judge a book by its cover.C．Love goes beyond physical changes. D．What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Users of Google Gemini, the tech giant’s artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, or German soldiers from 1943 produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini toavoid this trap; instead, it fell into another one, depicting George Washington as black. Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses, which turned out to be just as surprising.Gemini happily provided arguments in favor of positive action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group (游说团体), because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize “the interests of corporations over public well-being”. Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is “complex”; asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was “difficult to say”. You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.Inadequate testing may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAI, maker of the better-known ChatGPT. As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have also had controversial launches. Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors, which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster, provided they are prepared to weather (经受住) the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Eth an Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School.But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted, or “fine-tuned”, to produce these responses. This raises questions about Google’s culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering? Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but a responsibility, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda? All eyes are now on Google’s boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?8. What do the words “this trap” underlined in the first paragraph refer to?A．Having a racial bias. B．Responding to wrong texts.C．Criticizing political figures. D．Going against historical facts.9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Gemini’s refusal to make progress.B．Gemini’s failure to give definite answers.C．Gemini’s prejudice in text responses.D．Gemini’s avoidance of political conflicts.10. What does Eth an Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch?A．Creative. B．Promising. C．Illegal. D．Controversial. 11. What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph?A．Its security is doubted. B．It lacks financial support.C．It needs further improvement. D．Its employees are irresponsible.“Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it.Susan Goldin-Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing somethingdifferent when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research.Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any — but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome (幻肢综合征)” des cribes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks — but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition is, to some extent, “embodied”; thinking is not all done in your head.In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words — while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women ar e not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases of which they may be unaware.In “The Crown”, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a sophisticated aid to both.12. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1?A．To present an argument. B．To describe a scene.C．To lead in the topic. D．To clarify a doubt.13. Which statement will Susan Goldin-Meadow probably agree with?A．The disabled seldom use gestures. B．Gestures literally embody cognition.C．Thinking only occurs inside the brain. D．Gestures are improper in communication.14. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs?A．Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks.B．People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures.C．Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control.D．Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Speech: A Direct Channel of Information B．Gestures: A Vital Form ofCommunicationC．Italian’s Body Language: A National Stereotype D．Thinking with Your Hands: A Lifetime’s ResearchWe watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones. We use sunscreen to protect our skin. But what can we do to protect our eyes, all year round?A lot. 16 .Invest in quality sunglassesTo shield your eyes, wear sunglasses certified to block out 99 to 100 per cent of UVA and UVB light.17 . “In fact, if the lenses are dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes, because when you’re looking through dark lenses your pupils dilate, which lets more UV light inside to do damage,” says Dr Esen Akpek, a professor at Johns Hopkins University.Wear safety glasses when neededYou don’t have to be doing construction work or factory work to need protective eyewear. 18 . It’s estimated that up to 90 per cent of sports-related eye injuries are actually preventable with proper eye protection. “I see people who’ve been gardening, leaned forward and got poked in the eye by a branch,” says Dr Davinder Grover, an ophthalmologist at Glaucoma Associates of Texas.Invest in an air purifier19 . Outdoor cold and wind can be drying, too, while pollution and allergens can cause irritation. In addition to lubricating eye drops, “air purifiers and humidifiers are our friends,” says Akpek.See an eye specialist regularlyRoutine checkup helps maintain good eye health, so please don’t forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup regularly, if possible. 20 .Forty years ago, Mrs. Austen was my first-grade teacher, an old lady with salt-and-pepper hair, firm but kind, patient and _________ . She let us bake gingerbread men in the school cafeteria —a delightful _________ that amazed me. And whenever we read the “Jack and Janet” books, she wouldn’t let the other kids _________ my classmate Jack or me.But I came to truly _________ Mrs. Austen when a dress-up day was _________ .

In this way of life, the older generation can enjoy a happy and easy late life with their children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren growing up beside them and keeping them 37 being lonely. However, as society advances and people enjoy a 38 (comfortable) life, the big families begin to break up. Along with the growth of so-called “empty nestles”, which means the young birds have flown away and only 39 old are left alone, young parents are living with their own nuclear families. It goes without saying 40 the collapse of big families and the popularity of smaller ones are the result of our times.It is a time when people think highly of individual freedom 41 happiness. Young people like to have a space all alone to themselves, which helps avoid conflicts 42 (cause) by different living habits from their parents. It’s also a time when problems of old age and childcare have been socialized gradually. Senior citizens can live together and 43 (take) good care of by specialized nurses.Therefore, there is every reason to believe that this trend of families in reduced size is 44 (agree) to our times. To create a brighter future, we should do our best to build our society into one in 45 every member lives healthily and harmoniously.46. 假定你是李华，外教Brian要求同学们在课上推荐一款兼顾趣味与英语学习的app，请你写一篇发言稿。

A maths teacher Miss Chang asked her students to 2 the homework in two days. If some students 3 to finish in time, they would go on counting the rice at the weekend. Some parents thought that if it took a 4 to count three grains, it would take more than a year to count 100million grains of rice.5 , others thought it was a good idea.

But as anyone ever caught in a heavy rain will tell you, they're far from perfect. So, many creative designers made efforts to challenge. Here are four clever designs that can solve the rainy day problems.SenzCommon umbrellas love to invert(翻转)when it's windy. The Senz umbrella changes the round shape into the one that's long in the back and short in the front. The design is much stronger against even strong winds, and according to their tests, the Senz works well.NubrellaAn American named Alan Kaufman and his company spend 6 years inventing this hand-free umbrella. The hand-free umbrella is called Nubrella. The umbrella can rest on the user's shoulders. So the user needn't hold the umbrella any more. And it's convenient to make a phone call or ride a bike without an umbrella in the hand.KazbrellaThere is no doubt that this kind of umbrella is the shining star in the umbrella market this year. Common umbrellas drip(滴水)everywhere when they are closed. Kazbrella tries to solve this problem in a special way. Though it looks like common umbrella, the design allows the wet side of the umbrella to be inside once you fold it. As a result, getting in and out of your car is not a problem.Rain ShieldIn the face of a heavy rainstorm, rain can hit you from all directions. Rain Shield gives the protection from the sideway rain and its bendy(弯曲)design means it won't invert. It can handle strong wind. When not in use, it folds into a small piece.1．According to the first paragraph, we know that the common umbrellas__________. A．are useful but not perfect enough B．can only be used in a heavy rainC．can protect us very well in a heavy rain D．are challenges for creative designers 2．The umbrella in the following picture is called__________.A．Senz B．Nubrella C．Kazbrella D．Rain Shield3．If you use Rain Shield in a heavy rainstorm,__________________________________. A．it's not convenient enough to take B．it can protect you from sideway rainC．it will prevent neither rain nor wind D．it's easier to get in and out of the car 4．Which sentence is WRONG according to the passage?A．Senz is easy to hold with its special shape even in windy weather.B．Nubrella is a great idea for those who want to play sports on rainy days. C．Kazbrella opens from the inside out and keeps dry when you carry around.D．Rain Shield sells best with the special shape and it folds into a small piece.B14、Maria Keller — Teenager Wants Every Kid to Read Indeed!Books have huge power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone…or anything. Unluckily, many children all over the world don’t have chances to read books!For several years now, Maria Keller, a teenager from America, has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed thatsome of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her motherwhy that could be, her mother said that they might have no money to buy books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She decided to change this.With her mother’s help, Maria set up Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a non-profit (非营利的) organization that is to collect and share books to children in need. During theearly stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and share 1 million books bythe time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal!So far, she has collected over 2.4 million books and has sent them to many statesand countries like India, China…She says, “I cannot live wit hout books. As I continuemy task, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundredsof millions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my goal of 1 million books.”She recently set a new goal: to give donations (捐赠) to kids in need in every statein the United States, and every country in the world. She always pays attention to herprogress on a large map at the warehouse (仓库) where they store and sort books.1．Where does Maria Keller come from?A．America. B．India. C．China.

Adam is a MBA student at Harvard University. He studies long hours, gets very little sleep, so he drinks a lot of coffee—anywhere from five to six cups a day. Recently, Adam felt that drinking thus much coffee was making it hard for him to sleep at all. He also began having problems with his concentration(注意力), and complained of stomacha ches. Adam’s doctor made this suggestions: stop drinking coffee altogether. When Adam got up on October 3, he began his day without his morning coffee. By 11:00 a.m., Adam was in a terrible mood. He was tired and had a headache. At 11:30, he had a meeting with his student advisor. In the meeting, he found it almost impossible to continue. What was going on?Caffeine, a chemical found in coffee, was most likely the reason for how Adam felt. Caffeine is a stimulant that boosts(增加) energy levels and improves concentration- but only for a short time. Lowering caffeine consumption(减少摄取咖啡因) often makes a drop in blood pressure and the result is a “coffee headache”. People who stop drinking coffee often say they fe el tired and moody, and find it hard to focus.The good news is that these feeling usually pass after four and five days. During this time, doctors suggested taking some aspirin for the headache. So, if Adam can wait, in less than a week, he may be feeling much better.1．We learn from the reading Adam ▲ .A．does researches on caffeineB．can never be feeling betterC．still drinks 5 to 6 cups of coffee a dayD．had some problems because of coffee2．How may people feel when they stop drinking coffee?

They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event that a number of the most famous modeling agenies(中介) from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune(名利) clouded my judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and at last they agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For .months, any boredom or disappointment that I faced disappeared because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would appear in the covers of famous magazines!Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5'9' (about 1.75 meters) I could be a success.I sprayed for a growth spurt(冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I met with a local modeling agency and the agent required $500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot(拍摄), and $300 for other fees. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.The agency sent me out on a few auditions but with every day I did not receive a call, I grew more disappointed. The final chance came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call(公开挑it) in New York City. We spent hours driving and spent another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short, I could hardly stand it.Years later, I realize that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling, just the idea of it.1 wanted to be special and I naively(天真地)decided to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.1．The author wanted to be a model, because_______.A．she won a national contestB．she wanted to be famous and richC．she was urged by some modeling agenciesD．she had full potential to be a successful model2．The author's parents' attitude toward her dream is_______.A．encouraging B．doubtful C．worried D．excited3．The author finally stopped dreaming to become a model mainly because_______.A．her parents were strongly against itB．she realized that it was impossible for her.C．even a local modeling agency turned her downD．she realized that she didn't actually love the idea of modeling4．From her experience of struggling to be a model, the author learned thatA．where there is a will there is a wayB．being a model is not so easyC．we should have our own judgment and should not just follow othersD．we might set unpractical goals but the experiences can help us grow.F18、In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响)on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.If money was everything，all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love, true friendship，good health and a long life. However，this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought I’m afraid not. Love means to give，not to take. To every person，health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的)things.

In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent” (BGT) uncovered a musical genius named Malakai Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing.The London-based 13-year-old boy appeared for the show’s audition (海选) in April, 2023 and was accompanied by his mom and sister. “My big dream is to be an opera singer. I started singing at 7,” said Malakai to the BGT team. He then added jokingly, “My mom made me join the choir because she’s very bossy.” The teenager mentioned she was his biggest fan.Malakai’s mom was worried as he was about to perform and said, “It scares me because, on his first show, somebody heckled (对……起哄) him. It was sad to see someone boo a child on stage because it might destroy his confidence completely.” Contrary to his mom’s fear, Malakai set the stage on fire singing a beautiful song and the entire crowd was impressed by his amazing voice. As he ended his song, the audience and the judges gave him a big round of applause. The performance won him Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the semi-finals of the show.The other judges called Malakai’s performance “perfect” and “heavenly”. His angelic voice blew the audience away and the judges thanked the teen for coming to the show. Malakai went on to become one of the finalists of the show and signed a record deal with Universal Music.Malakai’ s audition at the BGT went viral on social media, “I’m a trained singer, and a music teacher by profession, and sang this song as a young performer myself. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best I’ve ever heard this song sung, with proper technique and proper breathing. This boy is a gifted singer,” @mayacorinne878 posted.4．What made Malakai’s mom feel worried?A．The judge’s expression.B．Her son’s performance on stage.C．A bad experience.D．Her son’s difficulty in singing in public. 5．What does the phrase “set the stage on fire” in paragraph 3 imply about Malakai’s performance?A．He accidentally caused a literal fire during his performance.B．His performance was extremely passionate and energetic.C．His performance received the lowest rating possible.D．He refused to perform unless certain conditions were met.6．What can be inferred about Malakai’s talent?A．He has average talent but is well-received due to his age.B．He has exceptional talent that is recognized by both professionals and the public.C．He has talent, but his performance was not enough to send him to the semi-finals.D．He lacks talent, but his story touched the hearts of the audience.7．What is the text mainly about?A．The rise of a young opera singer.B．The impact of social media on music talent.C．The history of “Got Talent” shows.D．The challenges faced by young performers.It’s no secret that sleep is important to your overall health, but a lack of sleep could have great effects on your heart, a new study shows. The researchers said people with insomnia(失眠症)are more likely to have a heart attack.Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the US, the researchers wrote in their report, noting that 10% to 15% of people in the US struggle with it. The meta-analysis of previously published research suggests that the potential association between insomnia and heart attack risk is strongest in women.Dr. Martha Gulati, director of prevention at the Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute, said that most of her patients are women and that insomnia is a noted risk factor for women who have hadany form of ischemic heart disease. “We see it probably in 1 in 10 patients in the United States,” said Gulati, who was not involved in the new research. “It is my impression that almost everyone experiences insomnia at some point in their life. The estimate is that 1 in 2 adults experience it at some point in their life, maybe in the short term because of stressful moments.”For their analysis, the researchers defined insomnia as a sleep disorder with three main symptoms(症状): Difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep and waking early and being unable to fall back asleep.The study also found an association between increased heart attack risk and how long a participant slept each night. Those who slept five hours or less had the highest association with heart attack risk and were 1.56 times more likely to have a heart attack than people who slept seven or eight hours. Longer sleep duration wasn’t always more protective. The study found that people who slept six hours a night had a lower risk of a heart attack than those who slept nine hours or more. “A lot of studies have pointed somewhere between seven and eight hours of sleep being the magic number for us,” another researcher said. “There is obviously variability for everyone, but too much sleep is rarely the issue.”8．What’s the function of the first paragraph?A．To list a fact.B．To warn the readers.C．To introduce the topic.D．To draw the readers’ interest.9．What can we infer from Gulati words?A．Insomnia is unavoidable in the short term.B．Insomnia is a common phenomenon in life.C．Heart attack often happens during insomnia.D．Women are less experienced in dealing with insomnia.10．What inspiration can we get according to the sleeping time?A．Put quality before quantity.B．Too much is as bad as too little.C．Bite off more than one can chew.D．Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. 11．What’s the author’s attitude to the relationship between insomnia and heart attack?A．Pessimistic.B．Indifferent.C．Objective.D．Positive.Ever wonder how this season’s celebrations affect the environment? Guest blogger KristaFairles takes an amusing look at this very topic.The holidays are a wonderful, cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents. But I’m not like most people. I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeer are, and more importantly, how I can calculate those impacts.Lately I’ve been particularly curious as to whether Santa’s old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.I should mention that, surprisingly, I was unable to find statistics specific to Santa’s magical flying reindeer, so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals. In other words, don’t complain to the govenment about the damage Santa is causing the environment based on this article.Santa’s yearly trip around the globe is 44,000km long, twice the average of a North American driver. If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip, then reindeer power only needs to push Santa’s sled forward. To complete the trip in 12 hours, I estimate they must travel at a speed of about 3100 km/h. To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!So the next question is: how much food is in 980 million calories? Well, if they’re eating corn, they’d need to eat 16, 500 lbs each-or 1.6 acres of food. Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that we’ll leave for another calculation.We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are “letting out” some of that corn in the form of methane. A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons. With methane causing 20 times the global warming damage of CO2, and the altitude increasing that damage by 1000% that another 20 times, we can put Santa’s round-trip emissions at 15,488 tons. This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally-friendly car would release on the same trip!Bad Santa.12．According to Paragraph 6, how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed 10 reindeer?A．1.6.B．16.C．12.8.D．128.13．Which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree with?A．Christmas celebrations are really a waste of money.B．Vegetarians are more likely to survive than meat-eaters.C．Raising animals has a negative influence on environment.D．The car industry does less harm to environment than farming.14．Which of the following words best describes the language style of the passage?A．Serious and boring.B．Cheerful and friendly.C．Academic and formal.D．Humorous and concerned.15．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A．Is Santa driving clean and green?B．Santa, watch where you’re going!C．Santa Claus is coming to town!D．Let’s reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!Artificial Intelligence (AI) geolocation (互联网定位技术) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife, enabling more powerful conservation efforts. These systems use advanced sensors, satellite imagery, and machine learning algorithms (算法) to gather real-time data on animal movements, habitat preferences, and migration patterns. 16 Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or inconvenient necklace-like systems, which may cause stress and discomfort to the animals. 17 The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up remotely, which decreases human impact on wildlife.In addition, AI-powered devices collect and analyze data precisely. Through their assistance, scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the effect of global warming on wild animal locations. 18 For example, by analyzing the collected data, conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI geolocation devices.19 By monitoring animals’ behavioral changes in real-time, researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues. Sudden changes in an animal’s movements could indicate threats or problems. Researchers can then respond immediately, potentially saving the animal’s life.Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise awareness aboutprotecting endangered species. 20 This help them feel more connected to the issues wildlife face in habitats. The bond promotes a sense of responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through various means, such as donations, volunteer work, and so on.A．This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions.B．However, AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals.C．AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional methods.D．The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife conservation.E．Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand experience.F．The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive fieldwork. G．With real-time data, the AI solutions also function as an early warning for wildlife risks.二、完形填空Being jobless for the last three months, I am upset nowadays.
