浏览以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最好选项。

A
If you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others’ mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物) escape. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.
Scientists believe that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others’ mistakes. Cells(细胞) in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn’t know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in discovering mistakes.
To investigate（调查） the brain’s response(反应) to mistakes in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow
or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists watched individual cells in the animal’s brains.
When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey’s brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn’t respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey’s own mistakes.
Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another’s mistakes.“You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle.”Ellen de Brujin, told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.
21. According to Paragraph 1, animals’ability to learn from others’ mistakes________.
A. used to be ignored by humans
B. helps them to survive better
C. ensures that they will never fail
D. is being lost because of humans
22. From the game the scientists taught to two macaques, we can see ______.
A.which part of the brain is more active
B. animals can avoid the same mistakes
C. how the brain responds to mistakes
D. how the brain processes information.
23. In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to _______.
A. others’ mistakes
B.one’s own mistake
C .the same buttons D. the monkey’s brain
B
Last Sunday, Aron Ralston, an experienced hiker and mountaineer, set off to walk alone through the Bluejohn desert canyon (峡谷) in Utah. He was planning an eight-hour, 21–kilometer hike. While he was climbing through a narrow part of the canyon, a big stone weighing about 400 kilos fell and trapped his right arm.
When he failed to return to the mountain camp where he was staying that night, people simply thought he had decided to camp out somewhere in the canyon. When he still had not returned by Tuesday, the alarm was raised, A search party set out on
Wednesday evening, but there we no sign and his family began to fear the worst.
In fact, Ralston, 27, was lying trapped in the canyon. By Tuesday, he had run out of water. By Thursday, he realized that he would not survive unless he took unusual action, so he used his pocket knife to cut his arm below the elbow (肘). He then climbed down to the bottom of the canyon. There he met two other hikers, who helped him back to safety. He received some help at a local hospital before being carried to St. Mary’s hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado for surgery.
Ralston’s astonishing survival brought equal amounts of praise and criticism. While praising the climber for his bravery and calm, experts also pointed out he had broken the first rule of outdoor pursuits. He had failed to leave words with anyone of where he was going that day.
This was in fact Ralston’s second near-death experience. In February, he was buried up to the neck in snow by an avalanche (雪崩) while skiing in the Colorado Rockies. Ralston not only managed to dig himself out but he also rescued his skiing companion, who had been completely buried in the snow. Ralton rescued himself and his friend in less than 15 minutes. 24.According to the passage, a“hiker”is probably someone who
_______.
A.enjoys walking long distances
B.enjoys walking short distances
C.likes adventure
D.climbs rocks and mountains
25.When a big stone trapped his right arm, ________.
A.he managed to return to the mountain lodge
B.he went on climbing the canyon
C two other hikers helped him out.
D.the cut off part of his arm to survive
26.Why did Ralston’s survival bring criticism?
A.Because this was his second near-death experience.
B.Because he was brave and calm.
C.Because he amputated his arm below the elbow.
D.Because he told no one where he was going when he set off.
27.Which of the following describes what happened to Aron Ralston?
a.A large heavy stone hit him and landed on his arm.
b.He had to cut off part of his arm to get it out

If you are looking to put a tree in your room for Christmas, there is always one debate that seems to arise in most families: whether you want a real tree or a fake tree. Year after year, as we find ourselves cleaning old pine needles(松针) for months on end, we decide that we will never get another real tree. So that begs the question: Which kind of tree is better?
There is certainly a lot to be said for real trees. There is something fun about gathering the family together, going to a Christmas tree farm, and selecting or even cutting down your own tree. Real Christmas trees have that lovely holiday pine needle smell and they look great in your home.
Of course, on the other hand, they also leave a complete mess behind and needles that seem to keep appearing for weeks or even months after the tree comes down. You must also find a way to deal with your real Christmas tree after you’re done, which may mean cutting it into pieces so it will fit in the trash. Many dustmen will refuse to take away a tree that is left beside your regular trash, especially if it is a big tree or an old, yellow one with falling needles, making it hard to pick up. They don’t want a face full of sharp needles any more
than you do!
With a fake Christmas tree, there is no mess, but there is also no Christmas tree farm. Of course, these trees look the same in appearance as a real tree when decorated. Many of them come already with lights, so using that old, messy string of lights will be a thing of the past. For some people, a can of pine air freshener (清新剂) is enough to recreate the pleasant smell of a real tree.
As to which tree is the better choice, it is really a matter of personal preference. Both real and fake trees certainly have their benefits, and knowing which is better for you this Christmas really depends on what your family wants.
28. Which of the following shows the benefits of real Christmas trees?
a. providing more fun
b. easy to clean up
c. giving off a natural smell
d. easy to decorate
A. a. d
B. a, c
C. b, d
D. b, c
29. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 shows that fake Christmas trees _______.
A. are more fashionable
B. look more beautiful
C. can save you time and energy
D. can be used
longer
30. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A. Supportive.
B. Doubtful.
C.Positive
D.
Objective
31. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
CP : Central Point P : Point SP : Sub-point(次要点)
C : Conclusion (结论)
D
While a lot of people are often to put away their smart
phones when driving, there are very few warnings of using
cellphones while walking. Now the Chinese city of Chongqing
has come up with a new way to highlight(使突出) the issue, by
creating a special “texters” lane.
The 50-meter-long pavement that is divided into two halves
—one labeled “cellphones-walk at your own risk” and the other
marked “no cellphones”, is located at the city’s Foreigner
Street. It is a theme park that is known for its strange
collection of “most of the best things that aren’t from China”.
The attractions that draw the attention of thousands of visitors every day are recreations of international landmarks(地标). They include a model of New York City, the Venetian Canals and even 150-meter replica (复制品) of “the Great Wall”, which made the cut even though it is not foreign.
So did pedestrians (行人) respect the signs and follow them in either case? Unfortunately, the answer was “No”. According to the National Geographic, most people were too busy with their cellphones to notice them. Some people chose to ignore them or followed them for a short while. However, they soon started playing their cellphones.
Though the visitors to Foreigner Street do notice the special lane, they seem to treat it as a strange addition to this unusual park.
While the cellphone walking may not appear perilous, a 2010 study carried out by researchers at Ohio State University showed that it had resulted in over 1,500 severe injuries—ranging from people falling off walkways or bridges to walking into oncoming traffic! You should keep something important in mind when you pull out your mobile to look at an “urgent”text or message on foot!
32. Chongqing highlights the issue of cellphone using by
______.
A. encouraging drivers not to use cellphones while driving
B. creating a special lane for cellphone users
C. posting warnings in national parks
D.creating special paths for drivers
33. What are mainly included in the national park?
A. Famous models of Chinese attractions.
B. Models of different kinds of cellphones.
C. Famous models of foreign attractions.
D.All kinds of replicas by famous artists.
34. Paragraph 3 shows that pedestrians _______.
A. Don’t ignore the signs on purpose.
B. Don’t attach importance to the signs.
C. follow the signs all the time on the lane.
D. show great interest in the signs.
35. What does the underlined word “perilous” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Unusual. B Frightening C.Touching. D. Dangerous.

What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults,the transition into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits(品质) are not yet accepted as a way of life. 36 By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.
1. Contribute to the household
At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself, When you make a mess, clean it up. 37 All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you contribute to the household? 38
2. Be responsible
39 Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.
3.Solve more of your own problem without asking for help
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help,
make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way”is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems. 40 When you become a good problem solver, you increase your value to the community.
A. Everyone has certain responsibilities.
B. By being aware of these manners and traits, you can manage them sooner.
C. The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.
D. This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and your room.
E. It will make your life more pleasant.
F. Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually
a good guideline.
G. When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.

Dear Mrs. Li,
I’m Jack, Li Ming’s pen pal from England. I am writing to share my opinions with you on how to raise a child in a healthy way.
Based on Li Ming’s last letter, I know that Li Ming should only care about his studies and that he has no freedom to choose to do what he likes to, such as go shopping. He is not allowed to help with some light house chores, either. In fact, these activities are of great help to him in the long run. If Li Ming goes on like this, I am afraid that he will become less out –going and independent.
To make him become a happy and well- rounded person, I think he needs to be given some responsibility from time to time, which will benefit him at school. Moreover, he should have chances to develop his social skills.
Best wishes,
Yours Sincerely,
科学睡眠健康成长
——在国旗下的发言
各位尊敬的老师、各位亲爱的同学：
大家上午好!我是来自预备二班的***。

今天，我非常的荣幸，能在3月21日世界睡眠日这一重要节日即将来临的时刻，和大家共同学习、分享《科学睡眠健康成长》这一主题内容。

睡眠是人体的一种主动过程，人的一生几乎有3分之1的时间在睡觉中度过。

睡眠是生命所必需的过程，是健康不可缺少的组成部分。

本届冬奥会的18岁天才少女谷爱凌在赛后回答夺冠秘诀时，她说：“从8 岁到14 岁，我一直都只有周末才滑雪。

而我能比那些年纪更大、更专业的运动员做的更好的秘密武器，就是每天睡十小时，真的每天睡十小时。

”
可是据世界卫生组织的调查，竟有27%的人存在着睡眠问题，而其中我国在30%以上，高达50%的学生存在睡眠不足的问题。

而“世界睡眠日”的目的便是要引起人们对睡眠重要性的关注，提醒人们要重视睡眠健康。

如今，随着学习、工作压力的增加，失眠已成为人们常见的健康问题。

失眠不仅会影响人的情绪，甚至能影响人的免疫系统，更重要的是，失眠往往是身体潜在某种疾病的外在表现形式之一。

那么，作为青少年的我们，该如何提高学习效率，留出更多的时间来保障睡眠呢？
首先，要明确当天晚上学习的目标。

学习之前，一定要列个清单出来，这样更便于安排时间，不致于手忙脚乱。

其次，减少学习时的干扰。

学习之前不要上网、看电视、玩游戏等；手机要放在不被打扰的地方。

再次，养成规律运动的习惯，建议每天运动半小时。

适当的运动，对调节睡眠有很大的作用，同时让一整天的精力充沛，保持高效学习状态。

最后，我们应当创造一个良好的睡眠环境，周围的温度、湿度和声音，都应保持在恰当的状态。

至少在睡前三十分钟，远离手机和任何发光的屏幕。

亲爱的同学们：
睡眠给我们一个清醒的头脑
睡眠给我们一个健康的身体
睡眠给我们一个幸福的生活
睡眠给我们一个精彩的世界
让我们做一个聪明的人，养成高效率学习习惯，为充足睡眠保驾护航。

最后借此机会想对全体预备班的同学们说，愿你们拥有良好健康的体魄，稳健坚实的步伐，从容不迫的心态，以梦为马，不负韶华。

祝愿我们所有的老师、同学们从今天起，都有良好的睡眠，美好的心情！拥有一个健康的未来。

今天的分享就到这里，感谢大家的倾听，谢谢！！
2024年3月。
