Melia said the idea came to him when he saw his brother, Billy, was finding it difficult to communicate with his new classmates when schools reopened in June. Billy was lip-charing his words, relying on hearing aids aware thattraditional masks were making it harder for him to comprehend what was being said.The initiative to such an invention only speaks to how people’s creativity has come together to make these tough times a bit easier and more manageable; Melia said he has received “overwhelming" positive feedback from people with treatment for hearing loss who have said his invention will help them to understand more of what people are saying during the pandemic. The production of the AT Mask has also brought more positive attention to the device and shown how useful it can be, stressing the importance of human connection and communication despite the physical barriers that we may face.Melia has stated that he is currently working to have the AT Mask certified that he can place them in care and nursing homes first before he tackles the wider market. He wants to make sure people who are most at risk during the pandemic can have greater access to these devices.21. Why did Max Melia invent the AT Mask?A. To activate the functions of hearing aids.B. To improve sound quality for the user.C. To make communication easier for people in public places.D. To cover most of the user’s face and neck.22. What inspired Max Melia to create the AT Mask?A. Hearing loss among schoolmates.B. Feedback from Billy, his brother.C. Challenges faced by Covid-19 patients.D. Communication problems caused by masks.23. What has Max Melia achieved according to the passage?A. Successfully marketing the AT Mask.B. Collaboration with the BBC.C. Certification for the AT Mask.D. Positive effects of the AT Mask.BThere is a lot of discussion about school uniforms being required in schools or not. A school uniform is a dress code given to students at a school. Usually, students of a particular school are required to wear the uniform to maintain discipline and establish a sense of equality amongst the student population. Many schools in the United States have uniforms, and most of them have different opinions about them.One argument used in favor of school uniforms is that when kids wear uniforms, their social status, confidence, and self-esteem levels will improve. Usually, kids who cannot afford fashionable clothes tend to feel left out, but when all students wear the same clothing, everyone feels equal.Moreover, it is believed that uniforms can help to distinguish between the student body and the teaching staff, promoting a sense of security and order in the school environment. If someone uninvited were to trespass on the school grounds, they would be instantly recognized due to their non-uniform clothing. In this way, uniforms prevent outsiders from entering the school, ensuring a safer environment for students.However, others argue against school uniforms, claiming that clothing is a form of self-expression and uniforms remove this right from students. Personalization through clothing helps students to express their individuality and develop a sense of creativity. By choosing what to wear, students can show their interests, personality, and values. Furthermore, school uniforms can also be expensive and put added financial pressure on families.In conclusion, the discussion on whether school uniforms should be mandatory will continue, as both sides present valid points. While school uniforms eliminate the social differences caused by appearance, they also potentially restrict self-expression and creativity. Schools must consider the benefits and drawbacks of requiring uniforms when making these important decisions.24. What is a major concern for some parents about school uniforms?A. Their children's social status and self-esteem.B. The financial burden on families.C. The concern about safety in schools.D. The impact on students' creativity.25. Why does the text suggest people against school uniforms?A. They believe uniforms improve students' self-esteem.B. They believe uniforms promote a sense of security.C. They think uniforms take away students' right to express themselves.D. They believe that and can help keep schools secure.26. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Students feel equal when wearing school uniforms.B. School uniforms provide a sense of security in schools.C. School uniforms can prevent self-expression by students.D. The pros and cons of requiring school uniforms are debated.CMusic has the amazing ability to bring people together, even in challenging times. Music festivals are large-scale events where thousands of people come together to enjoy music performances by their favourite artists. With the global pandemic postponing or cancelling most music festivals, virtual concerts have emerged as a safe and fun alternative for music lovers.One popular virtual concert platform that has been widely praised is MelodyVR. Users can use virtual reality (VR) headsets or even their smartphones to enjoy live music events from the comfort of their own homes. The platform allows users to choose different camera angles to view the performances, creating a more interactive experience than traditional concerts. Fans can feel like they are right in front of the stage, dancing along with their favourite artists.Another benefit of virtual concerts is that they give people the chance to attend events they might not be able to in-person. Whether due to distance or cost, many people are unable to attend physical music festivals, but virtualconcerts can help them experience the excitement and energy of music events from anywhere in the world.Despite the convenience and advantages of virtual concerts, many music fans still miss the atmosphere and social interactions of traditional festivals. Music festivals not only offer live performances but also provide a space for people to connect, make new friends, and share their love of music. The atmosphere of a live concert, with crowds of enthusiastic fans cheering and dancing together, cannot be replicated online.In conclusion, while virtual concerts offer a safe and accessible way for music lovers to enjoy live performances, the social connections and unique experiences of physical music festivals are irreplaceable. Whether attending events in-person or virtually, the power of music to bring people together remains unchanged.27. What is a major benefit of MelodyVR for users?A. It allows users to experience live music in the virtual world.B. It provides free access to all music performances.C. It offers a limited selection of songs to choose from.D. It allows users to attend music festivals in-person.28. How can virtual concerts benefit people who are unable to attend physical music festivals?A. They provide a way to connect with friends online.B. They offer a chance to meet their favourite artists in person.C. They allow people to experience music events from anywhere.D. They create the atmosphere of live concerts online.29. According to the passage, what is a unique feature of traditional music festivals?A. The ability to view performances from different camera angles.B. The opportunity for fans to dance along with their favourite artists.C. The social interactions and atmosphere among fans.D. The convenience of attending events from anywhere in the world.三、完形填空（每题1分，共10分）As a 6-year-old, I remember sitting on the kitchen floor holding my ears as my parents __30__ their loud voices filling our home.

Is it okay for parents to punish their children?It's quite natural that people from different backgrounds may have different attitudes towards it, just as the old saying goes "Every advantage has its disadvantage." Those who support it think that punishing children is a common education method used by parents and they can stop their children's misconduct immediately. And they also argue that moderate punishment canlet children learn from it.However, many others are against it. They argue that punishment can make a child feel disrespected and lose confidence, which does no good to children’s growth. Besides, one possible consequence is that children may learn to lie in order to avoid punishment.In my opinion, parents should focus on cultivating children's consciousness instead of punishment. What’s more, parents should guide their children with correct words and deeds in their daily life. After all, parents are their children's first teachers.【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是提纲类作文，要求阐述一个现象并发表自己的观点。

江苏省泰州市2023-2024学年高一上学期1月期末英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The day a freshman moves into Harvard Yard is always said to be an enjoyable one and this was certainly true of my first day at the university: As my parents and I drove into the Yard, I looked at the wonderful scene and thought to myself “No freshman should be so lucky”!I’m sharing a flat with four other girls. We are all completely different in terms of background, beliefs, and interests —we reflect the diversity (多样性) that Harvard is so proud of During this first week, it’s a comfort to have four girls I can call friends and that can help me deal with the new situation which is quite difficult at times.Deciding what classes to take is the first step. At Harvard, the only necessary class for freshmen is a writing class —I’m actually able to take any classes I desire this year and the range of classes is amazing! How do I decide? Thankfully, Harvard allows freshmen to try classes during the “Shopping Week”. Classes meet at their regular times, and we’re able to attend as many (or as few) as we want. If I finally decide to take a course, I’ll be held responsible for any work done during the “Shopping Week” . On the other hand, if I find a class doesn’t suit me or the professor is boring, I can decide not to take it!All of these first-week experiences will make great life-time memories but the greatest treasure Harvard has offered me thus far has been the other students I’ve met. Every time I see someone either singing a moving song al an A Capella Concert, giving an amazing violin performance at a talent show, or saying something extremely inspiring in one of my classes, I’m blown away! Knowing and interacting with so many gifted people is what has made my first week at Harvard a truly priceless experience. One week down, four more years to go —I can’t wait!1．Why does the author feel it a comfort to have the four roommates?A．They share the same flat with the author.B．They have much in common with the author.C．They help the author adapt to the new life at Harvard.D．They reflect the diversity that Harvard is proud of.A．Go shopping every day.B．Determine what courses to take.C．Attend a writing class.D．Meet classmates on a regular basis. 3．According to the author, what is the best part about being a Harvard student in the first week?A．Taking part in a talent show.B．Staying with talented schoolmates.C．Performing a moving song.D．Enjoying the activities Harvard offers.4．What is the best title for the text?A．My first week at Harvard B．A truly challenging experienceC．Choosing courses for the future D．Tips on being a freshman at UniversityWhen Kyle D’Costa and his wife met Rio, a nine-month-old shih tzu (西施犬), in 2021, “it was love at first sight. “The new couple soon added a Lhasa Apso (拉萨犬) and rented a bigger flat to give the animals ”more space“.The D’Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets. According to Statista, a research company, India had 19.4 million pet dogs in 2018 and may now have 31m. In 2021, Market Decipher, another research organization, valued India’s pet industry at 890’hillion dollars and said that it would continue to grow by 3 times over the next 10 years.Actually, the pet industry is growing at a fast rate throughout the world. With rising incomes comes increased pet-ownership, especially among young professionals who tend 10 put off marriage and parenthood and to be extremely willing to enjoy the company of a dog. It is only a matter of time before marriage websites include a ”pet-friendly“ option.As keeping pets becomes increasingly popular, so do those working in the industry. “Being in this trade was despised just five years ago,” says Chinmay, a 30-ycar-old dog trainer in Thane, Mumbai. “How will you find a girlfriend?” he recalls his relatives asking him. But dog trainers in Mumbai can these days cam 2, 400 rupees (S30) an hour —more than twice as much as piano teachers. Chinmay is now happily married to one of his customers.Current pet-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world’sEmami, an Indian company, targeting daily goods, offers medicines for pets. Euromonitor International, a market-research company, thinks India’s pet-food industry is worth 480 million dollars and will grow to $1. 2 billion by 2025.5．Why are the figures listed in Paragraph 2?A．To present the benefits of raising pets.B．To show the popularity of keeping pets.C．To stress the significance of pet industry.D．To express dissatisfaction with the situation.6．What do young professionals prefer to do nowadays?A．Get married early.B．Earn higher income.C．Choose friendly pets.D．Draw comfort from pets7．What does the underlined word “despised” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Looked down on.B．Done justice to.C．Shown respect for.D．Taken advantage of8．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．India’s pet-food industry is worth $1.2 billion.B．Pet-industry is changing people’s career options.C．Nestlé has earned a lot in Indian pet-food business.D．More companies will have a hand in the pet industry.Chicken soup. An apple. Hot Ica. When you’re sick, everyone from grandma to the next-door neighbor has a helpful suggestion for food that will put you on the road to recovery. What should we make of this wisdom — do some foods really help us feel better, or even actually get better? And if so, why do we hardly feel hungry during illness when we might think nutrition is needed most?Yale University immunobiologist Ruslan Medzhitov believes our bodies are working not for making us feel better, but for being alive — and they might not always treat an illness as their greatest risk. Before take-away service was an option, getting food while sick meant putting a weakened body at risk. And finding food also meant losing more energy. Though life has changed, scientists assume these evolutionary holdovers (进化遗存) may still play a role.requires a specific range of nutrition — protein, fat, vitamins, and more — although Medzhitov says those preferences are a moving target. “The way it changes during illness depends on the type of illness, and that’s the part we don’t know well.” he says. Still by adding protein, fat, a fruit or vegetable, you can maintain a good balance of nutrition. That may be where the original idea of chicken soup came.There’s no one definite answer as to what to eat during illness. Medzhitov believes that just listening to your body and its preferences is likely the best option. What you desire is more often than not what your body wants. When sick, your desire for one type of food and dislike for another don’t come by accident. Millions of years of evolutionary selection have taught your body to recognize them. “If your body needs vitamin C, you will have desire for something that contains it, even though sometimes we don’t know what that desire is for.”9．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A．To give an example.B．To show a discovery.C．To make a suggestion.D．To offer an explanation.10．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A．Nutritional needs change with illness.B．People know little about types of illness.C．Maintaining a balanced diet is a challenge.D．Chicken soup offers well-rounded nutrition.11．What does Medzhitov suggest during illness?A．Taking in vitamin C．B．Eating what appeals to you.C．Drinking chicken soup.D．Minding the body’s change.12．In which section of a website may this text appear?A．Nature.B．Culture.C．Education.D．Science.Homework stress can be harmful, making students anxious, tired, and building negative feelings towards the whole experience of studying, If you are troubled, read on for some tips on stress management, and find a solution that suits you.● 13Good time management may not solve all of your problems, but it can go a long way when you are dealing with stress from homework. Most homework stress starts from failingcarefully, may help reduce your stress.●Use a clean workspace.Before you begin working on your homework, ensure there is not anything that leads to poor concentration in your work space. 14 In addition, it is proven that too loud noise, too many colors, and messy space can cause more stress, and therefore clearing up the table may help you concentrate.●Ask for help.15 Sometimes stress is caused by the fact that the task is too difficult for you to understand. Getting some external aid may help you better understand the topic and further your ability to complete the project.●Have a timely restDon’t forget to rest when you start to feel burnt out. 16 And it is important to deal with it when it comes up. Great ways of resting include taking a short sleep, going on a walk, dancing, cooking a nice and nutritious meal, exercising, and spending some time on a hobby.These are just some of the many ways of how you can deal with homework stress. The fact is that for some of you, stress may still be part of the study. 17 If you can manage it, you may find your work less stressful.A．Manage time properly.B．Make full use of your time.C．In that case, more serious problems are likely to follow.D．Don’t hesitate to turn to teachers when feeling challenged.E．Mental and physical tiredness is a common side effect of stress.F．All that can be done is find tricks working for you to deal with this stress.G．It could be a phone or anything else taking your mind away from homework.二、完形填空In a small busy cafe —people were dining, chatting and laughing —a lady just finishedfrom around the corner.looked like he hadn’t had a good 20 for too long.

江苏省泰州市兴化市2023-2024学年高一上学期1月期末英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解American children aren’t the only couch potatoes out there. Nearly one third of children in the world spend three hours a day or more watching TV or playing computers, according to a study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found that most children aren’t getting enough exercise. “In terms of physical activity levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries,” Guthold told Reuters Health. “Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity.”The study, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looked at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.The researchers defined enough physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games, or chatting with friends — aside from time in school or time spent doing homework — were considered as sedentary. The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of the boys and nearly 30 percent of the girls sat too much and didn’t get enough exercise.Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary.Girls were less active than boys in every country except for Zambia. Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise definitions, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting enough exercise.While the study didn’t look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations, Guthold guessed that urbanization (城市化) could be a factor as well as being able to use cars and TVs. She said schools can help children become more active by having physical education classes and educating students about the importance of exercise.1．What does the underlined word “sedentary” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Addicted.B．Flexible.C．Inactive.D．Unhealthy. 2．What can we know from the study?A．Boys from Uruguay were the most active.B．Most girls from India got enough exercise.C．Children in Europe get more physical activity.D．Boys are more active than girls in every country.3．How does the writer present the findings of the study?A．By using quotations and taking examples.B．By listing figures and making comparisons.C．By asking questions and providing answers.D．By presenting facts and drawing conclusions.4．Which of the following factors probably lead to children’s lack of physical activity?A．Computers and potatoes.B．Computers and urbanization.C．Urbanization and physical education.D．Physical education and homework.Just being intelligent (聪明的) doesn’t mean someone will be successful. And just because someone is less intelligent doesn’t mean that person will fail. That’s one take-home message from the work of people like Angela Duckworth, who works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.Like many other scientists, Duckworth wondered what makes one person more successful than another. When digging deeper, Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality independent of intelligence. They had what she now calls grit (毅力). Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it. She calls it her “grit scale (量表).”In one study of people 25 and older, she found that as people age, they become more likely to stick with a project. She also found that git increases with education. People who finished college scored higher on the grit scale than people who quit before graduation. People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher.She then did another study with college students. Duckworth wanted to see how intelligence and grit influenced performance in school. So she compared scores on college-entrance exams, which measure IQ, to school grades and scores on the grit scale. Students with higher grades tended to have more grit. That’s not surprising. Getting goodgrades takes both smarts and hard work.But some people counter that this grit means success. Among those people is Marcus Crede, a professor at Iowa State University in Ames. He recently pooled the results of 88studies on grit. Together, those studies tested nearly 67, 000 people. And grit did not predict success, Crede found.However, he thinks grit is very similar to someone’s ability to set goals, work toward them and think things through before acting.“Study habits and skills, test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected to school grades than grit,” Crede says. “We can teach students how to study well. We can help them with their test anxiety,” he adds. “I’m not sure we can do that with grit.”5．What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A．Intelligence determines success.B．Not all smart people will succeed.C．Duckworth redesigned a grit scale.D．Grit decides how intelligent one might be.6．What might influence a person’s grit according to Angela Duckworth’s findings?A．Lifestyle.B．Family.C．Personality D．Education.A．Comment.B．Disagree.C．Recognize.D．Warn. 8．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Grit can hardly be taught.B．Grit can be improved eastlyC．Grit is strongly related to test anxiety.D．Grit has nothing to do with schoolgrades.With enough money, it’s possible to do something unbelievable in Dubai and now you can add another to the list — walking on the moon. Recently, Canadian architectural company Moon World Resorts announced plans to construct a $5 billion resort (度假村) that looks like the moon in Dubai.The project, named Moon Dubai, is meant to help visitors experience space tourism, which allows guests to find out what it is like to walk on the moon. The resort will be very luxurious and contemporary, with a lot of components inside that one would already know — for example, a wellness area, residential properties, restaurants, a convention center, and a spa, each with a lunar twist (月球扭). It will also include a training platform for space agenciesand astronauts.Space tourism currently comes with a big price tag, and it’s a barrier to entry for most travelers. However, the moon resort experience will be significantly cheaper. A walk on the lunar surface of the moon resort is much more affordable at $500.“Moon Dubai will significantly impact every aspect of the UAE’s economy, including tourism, transportation, commercial and residential real estate, infrastructure, financial services, aviation and space, energy, agriculture, technology and of course education,” says Michael R. Henderson, co-founder of Moon World Resorts. “It will be the largest and most successful modern-day tourism project in the MENA region, doubling annual tourism visitations to Dubai based on its global appeal, brand awareness and unique multiple integrated offerings.”Whether the project will eventually take off is currently unknown. If the design can be successful, it will require a 12-month pre-development planning program and a 48-month building process. But the company’s plan is viable (可行的). Moreover, Henderson estimated that the moon resort could open in 2027.9．What do we know about the moon resort?A．It is designed to send people to the moon.B．It is a cheaper option for space tourism.C．It serves as a platform for scientists to explore space.D．It provides visitors with space classes taught by astronauts.10．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The features of the moon resort.B．The key role of tourism in Dubai.C．The potential value of Moon Dubai.D．The purpose of carrying out MoonDubai.11．What stage is the moon resort at?A．Test.B．Design.C．Operation.D．Construction. 12．What is the main purpose of this text?A．To introduce a tourism project in Dubai.B．To encourage people to visit the moon resort.C．To show the development of Dubai’s space industry.D．To present the commercial success of Moon World Resorts.They say once you learn to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learned to ride when we were kids, and many still wear our helmets, put our feet on the pedals, and shoot off for a ride on the streets. In recent times, cycling has seen an increase in popularity, so many people raise a question: 13First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health and burn extra body fat. Strengthening your muscles in your legs helps increase your potential torque (扭矩) and cadence (节奏). 14 A long ride in the countryside could help you clear your mind, or de-stress. But it’s not only about your body and mind there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.Cycling can be a great way to go to work or get about town. 15 If you drive to work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler. Then, on the subway, there are changes at stations and other people who go to work speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. 16 And if you’re worried about safety, there are designated cycle lanes in many major cities. In addition, wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.17 It can help you reduce your carbon footprints. Not giving off greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.So, whether people want to cycle for their health, their wallet, the environment, or a combination of all of them —the popularity of cycling is on the rise.A．What makes cycling so convenient?B．But cyclists face neither of these issues.C．And people will choose to go to work by cycling.D．This can save you a lot of money on fuel or public transportation.E．Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment.F．And the benefits from cycling aren’t just physical, but mental as well.G．What makes it so attractive for people to take their bikes once again?二、完形填空Some of us regret that we no longer have parents to serve after their passing away (去世).A few days ago, when I went to a park for my evening walk, I came across an old couple sitting on a bench and talking to each other. Feeling a bit tired after a long way, I’m 19 to know about their 20 of discussion. So I went over and sat on the bench next to them. After a few moments, from their conversation I could 21 that their only son had moved to America. And they were 22 alone here.Every sentence they said to each other conveyed to me their desire, their loneliness and their selfless 23 for their son. My eyes were filled with tears and I realized just how 24 we have become as children.To achieve our goals and purposes we tend to care 25 about the two most important persons of our lives: our parents, who 26 us when we were young, raised us heart and soul and guided us patiently on each step of our lives.What has the life of these parents become now? Most of them are staying in old houses and leading a 27 life. Most of them even couldn’t be taken care of when they fall ill. Why do we always 28 that we are what we are now just because of these two special people who brought us into this 29 ?Finally, I would like to use a few words written by a wise man which say, “When you were 30 and just a little way off, I 31 you with blankets (毯子) against the cool night air, but now you are tall and out of 32 , I hold out my hands and cover you with my best wishes.”18．A．asleep B．alone C．awake D．alive 19．A．scared B．curious C．excited D．afraid 20．A．place B．time C．goal D．topic 21．A．remember B．feel C．learn D．explain 22．A．gained B．left C．reminded D．limited 23．A．hope B．praise C．friendship D．love 24．A．independent B．responsible C．selfish D．obvious 25．A．little B．much C．greatly D．more 26．A．missed B．denied C．promised D．protected 27．A．practical B．modern C．peaceful D．lonely 28．A．suggest B．believe C．forget D．hear 29．A．world B．organization C．team D．class 30．A．honest B．old C．small D．brave31．A．filled B．covered C．supported D．compared 32．A．work B．date C．order D．reach三、单词拼写示单词拼写)34．（改编）from a novel, the film is popular with teenagers. （根据汉语提示单词拼写）35．Eventually, your child will leave home to live their own life as a fully (独立)adult.

江苏省泰州市2020-2021学年高一上学期期末英语试题 含答案
江苏省泰州市2020-2021学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分42.5分)第一节(共12小题：每小题25分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、D、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AThe 15-day Spring Festival is the biggest holiday of the year for many Chinese to leave from their jobs to travel home and see their loved ones.But along with gathering come a lot of traditions aimed at making sure the year ahead is lucky and happy.Here are some key dos and don’ts that many Chinese follow before and after the Lunar New Year.DOsSet off fireworksThe more fireworks or firecrackers you set off, the better.Not only do you light up the night sky with a symphony of color, but the loud banging sounds are thought to scare off evil spirits.Eat dumplingsEating dumplings is a popular tradition in northern China because dumplings not only taste good but also look like pieces of gold.Clean your homeSweep, mop, vacuum, steam-do anything and everything to make sure your home is clean before the midnight on Lunar New Year eve. The aim here is to free your home from any bad luck that’s accumul ated over the past year. DON’TsWash or cut your hairLeave your hair as it is on the first day of the New Year.The Chinese character for hair is the same first character in the word for prosperity(发达).This means washing or cutting it off is seen as washing your fortune away.Clean post-New YearCleaning of any kind on the first day is strictly forbidden.You clean your home to avoid any bad luck before the New Year - now you want to be sure not to wipe, sweep or wash away any of the good luck that arrives after midnight.Buy booksIt’s bad luck to buy them during the 15-day Spring Festival.The Chinese word for "book" (shū) sounds exactly the same as the word for "lose’"-so buying a book is considered an invitation to bad luck.Also, avoid giving books as gifts to anyone, because it’d be like wishing bad luck upon them.1. Why is the Spring Festival the best time for many Chinese people according to the text?A. They can enjoy a lor of delicious dishes.B. They can get together with their family members.C. It’s time for them to say good-bye to the past year.D. The festival will bring them good luck and happiness. 2. You are expected to do the following on the first day of the New Year EXCEPT .A. setting off fireworksB. enjoying tasty dumplingsC. cleaning your homeD. leaving your books untouched3. In which section of a newspaper can we see the passage?A. Advertisement.B. Literature.C. Culture.D. Travel.【答案】1. B 2. C 3. CBSo many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances to a rather unexpected COVID-19 virus. Fortunately, thanks to modem technology, the people we miss are often only a phone ca ll or text message away. But if you’re someone who prefers to type out messages. you may want io reconsider. A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social relationships than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.In the study, researchers used various experiments to measure relationships. In one, they asked 200 people what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then asked them to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.“People reported they did form a stronger relationship with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they did not feel more awkwar d,” said Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs Schoolof Business.In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only —made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by text.Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of conven ience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “communicate information exactly in the way they want without unexpected additions by the ot her person.”Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the tru e meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the pet effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking about the endless possible meanings behind words.”4. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Texting does harm lo social relationships.B. V oice communication brings people closer.C. A phone call does more good than a text message.D. People prefer a text message rather than a phone call.5. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By comparing.B. By reasoning.C. By imagining.D. By discussing.6. What does the un derlined word “anticipated” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Ensured.B. Refused.C. Expected.D. Disagreed.7. People prefer to text rather than call because they think .A. texting makes them feel more connectedB. they feel awkward when making a phone callC. texting helps communicate their information exactlyD. calling helps determine the true meaning behind the conversation【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. CCChristmas at my house meant colorful decorations, candles in every window, homemade dinners by Mom and her matching red coat. I always believed that someday my own kids would gather here and enjoy the traditions that had been passed down each December.Life had other plans. Mom found bet cancer in 2006 and died three years later. Three years after her death, Imade my yearly trip to my childhood home for Christmas with my dad and sister. When I hunted for Christmas decorations up in the attic, an unusual yellow envelope caught my eye. Inside was a never published children’s book by Mom, dated February 10, 1993. It was titled The Evil Stepmother (Who Wasn’t). It’s the story of a little girl who loses her mother to cancer. Her father soon remarries, and at Christmas, the girl returns home to find her stepmother crying with a woman’s photograph in her hands. The stepmother says that she lost her mother, too, and always misses her most at Christmas.I read Mom’s book and wondered why she had been moved to write it. She was years away from her cancer at the time. But there was no stepmother in our lives. So I put the book away, found the decorations I came for, and forgot about Mom’s book quickly.Without the home that had been full of so many memories, I didn’t celebrate Christmas any more. I began to avoid the holiday music and even, for a while, the color red.That changed in December 2017. Dad brought a woman to Christmas unexpectedly. When we first met we hugged each other shyly. Soon, she had Dad and me laughing. It was going so well. The three of us went out to pick out gifts. That’s when “While Christmas” began to play over the store’s speakers. I froze. It was the song Mom sang to me as a child to get me to sleep. Tears streamed down my face.We got home, and I went to my room to calm down. There was a knock on the door. Dad’s girlfriend. She told me tha t Christmas was hard for her too and that she had lost her mother to Alzheimer’s.“Do you see my coat?” she asked. “It was my mom’s. Your dad tells me your mother had a red coat too. Maybe we can wear them together sometime.”I remembered the scene from Mo m’s book and hugged this woman who made my dad happy, who was offering us a second chance at Christmas.A year later, my sister and I attended Dad’s wedding. This past December. I hosted my first Christmas in New York. My stepmother and I decorated the house, candles in every window. We walked arm in arm down Broadway in our mothers’ red coats.8.

Is it okay for parents to punish their children? Opinions on this vary from person to person.People in favor of punishing children assume that it is a common means of education, which can put an immediate stop to bad behavior. Moreover, through proper punishment, children can learn what is wrong and unacceptable.Others, however, argue that punishment can hurt kids both physically and mentally. When punished, children feel no respect from parents, resulting in their loss of confidence over time. What’s worse, afraid of being punished, children may tell lies to escape being caught.On my personal note, I firmly believe that punishing is ineffective and harmful. Communicating with children regularly is a better choice for parents. Reward their desirable behavior, and they can learn to tell right from wrong. (126 words)书面表达评分标准评分原则:1、本题总分为20分，按5个档次给分，每个档次4分。
