2023-2024学年江苏省常州市联盟学校高一下学期期末学情调研英语试题Scientists play a crucial role in advancing technology and improving our quality of life. Consider thework of Marie Curie, who discovered radium and polonium, opening up new frontiers in the field ofradioactivity and laying the foundation for modern nuclear medicine. Her research has led to the development of life-saving treatments and diagnostic（诊断的）tools that have benefited countless patients.Another remarkable scientist is Albert Einstein. His theory of relativity changed our understanding of the universe, challenging conventional wisdom and inspiring countless subsequent studies in physics. This has not only deepened our knowledge of the cosmos but also led to technological advancements such as GPS navigation, which relies on the principles of relativity for correct positioning.Isaac Newton’s laws of motion and universal gravitation provided a framework for understanding the physical world and paved the way for modern engineering and aerospace technology. The applications of his theories are obvious in everything from the construction of buildings to the launch of satellites.Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection transformed our understanding of the diversity of life on Earth. It has had far-reaching implications in fields such as genetics, ecology, and conservation biology, guiding our efforts to protect and preserve the natural world.Nikola Tesla’s contributions to electri cal engineering, particularly in the development of alternating current（交流电）, have powered our modern world. Without his innovations, our reliance on electricity for lighting, communication, and countless other applications would be severely limited.1. Who discovered radium and polonium?A．Albert Einstein. B．Isaac Newton.C．Marie Curie. D．Charles Darwin.2. Which of the following is a major and biggest difference between Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton?B．Their nationality.A．The field of science they mainlycontributed to.D．Their educational background.C．The century in which they did theirresearch.3. Which of the following is a common feature shared by all the scientists mentioned?A．They all made their discoveries in the 20th century.B．They were all from the same country.C．They all faced significant opposition to their work during their lifetimes.D．They all had a deep and lasting impact on the advancement of science and humanknowledge.My childhood memory is closely connected with hunger. Unable to provide enough food to feed its ever-increasing population, the People’s Republic had to adopt a food ration（定量）system to ensure equal supply of food for three decades—the ration for an adult in an urban area was 15 kilograms of wheat, rice, com or sorghum per month.Many young people today might not understand why I’m talking about hunger when an adult’s monthly quota for food grains was 15kg, especially because half of that would perhaps be enough for them for a month. But that’s all an adult c ould consume up to the 1970s, because cooking oil, meat, eggs and sugar were strictly controlled.Although the ration system ensured everybody had a share of the available food and prevented starvation deaths, it led to malnutrition（营养不良）among people of every age.On launching reform and opening-up. China realized a major reason for food shortage was farmers not getting their rightful due under the system then. So the government distributed the collectively-owned farmlands to households and farmers. Within years, the farm yield almost doubled, helping China to abandon the food rationing system in 1993.Now, enough food supply and much money have changed Chinese people’s dietary habits. Many youths refuse to learn cooking, arguing that they can source their meals from restaurants or take-out outlets. As a result, one can see thousands of electric bike riders zigzagging the streets to deliver breakfast, lunch or dinner.Paradoxically, Chinn is now battling over-nutrition. One would be lucky to not find a few overweight boys and girls in a class. When I meet with my former classmates, many of whom are overweight or suffering from over-nutrition-related illnesses, we sometimes talk about the “good old food ration days” when almost no one needed to worry about con trolling weight.4. What is the main purpose of China’s adopting a food ration system?A．To feed enough food to people. B．To ensure less waste of food.C．To avoid increase of population. D．To fight against food shortage.5. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A．Lacking other nutrition made 15kg food grains not enough for an adult.B．Young people today consume less food grains to avoid overweight problem.C．People in poverty had no access to oil, meat, eggs and sugar in the 1970s.D．The farm yield almost doubled with the development of faring technology.6. What does the underlined word “Paradoxically” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A．Consequently. B．Unexpectedly.C．Similarly. D．Reasonably.7. Why does the author write the article?A．To suggest our country adopting food ration again.B．To advise people to have enough food.C．To record the change in the development of society.D．To introduce a healthy lifestyle to young people.Playing music requires fine motor skills, which are controlled in both hemispheres（大脑半球）of the brain. It also combines language and mathematics, which the left hemisphere is more involved in, with the novel and creative content that the right does well in. For these reasons, playing music has been found to increase the volume and activity in the brain’s corpus callosum（肼胝体）, the bridge between the two hemispheres, allowing messages to get across the brain faster and through more different ways. This may allow musicians to solve problems more effectively and creatively, in both academic and social settings.Because making music also involves creating and understanding its emotional content and message, musicians often have higher levels of decision-making function, a category of interlinked tasks that includes planning, strategizing, and attention to detail and requires immediate analysis of both cognitive（认知的）and emotional aspects. This ability also has an impact on how our memory systems work. And, indeed, musicians exhibit better memory functions, creating, storing, and retrieving memories more quickly and efficiently. Studies have found that musicians appear to use their highly connected brains to give each memory multiple tags（标签）, such as a conceptual tag, an emotional tag, an audio tag, and a contextual tag, like a good Internet search engine.How do we know that all these benefits are unique to music, as opposed to, say, sports or painting? Or could it be that people who go into music were already smarter to begin with? Neuroscientists have explored these issues, but so far, they have found that the artistic and aesthetic aspects of learning to play a musical instrument are different from any other activity studied, including other arts. And several randomized（随机的）studies of participants, who showed the same levels of cognitive function and neural processing at the start, found mat those who were exposed to a period of music learning showed improvement in multiple brain areas, compared to the others.8. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A．The Connection Between Music and Brain Activity.B．The Secret of Musicians’ Success.C．How Music Changes Our Lives.D．The Impact of Music on Motor Skills.9. What does playing music increase in the brain?A．The size of the left hemisphere.B．The size of the right hemisphere.C．The volume and activity in the brain’s corpus callosum.D．The number of neural connections in the front part of brain.10. What have neuroscientists found about-the benefits of playing music?A．They are not unique. B．They are the same as those of sports.C．They are the same as those of painting. D．They are different from any other activitystudied.11. What did the randomized studies find about those exposed to music learning?A．They had worse cognitive function.B．They showed no improvement in brain areas.C．They showed improvement in duty brain area.D．They showed improvement in multiple brain areas.Last week a study was published showing that people with bowel cancer（肠癌）who drink coffee—quite a lot of coffee, two to four cups a day—were less likely to suffer a return of the disease. Experts have said that if the results hold in further studies, coffee could be prescribed（开处方）to cancer patients on the NHS（National Health Service）. That coffee does have an effect on human function is no doubt—but whether that impact is beneficial or harmful has been controversial（有争议的）since its beginning in the mid-15th century.The native peoples of the forests of Kaffa in south-west Ethiopia searched for berries（浆果）from wild coffee plants that were shipped across the Red Sea to prepare the decoction（煮出的汁）known as qahwa, which was used to reduce their desire for sleep. Once mainstream Islamic courts said coffee was not poisonous, consumption became widespread among the Muslim populations in the Middle East and the Ottoman empire.First regarded as a form of medicine, Turkish traders introduced coffee to Venice, where it was prescribed for digestive disorders. It was served in small, cold potions. London’s first coffee houses appeared in the 1650s, attracting customers with the advertised health benefits of the new beverage. However, not all were convinced. The 1674 Women’s Petition Against Coffee declared that too much coffee consumption weakened men and made them unproductive.Since the 1960s, mass surveys of coffee drinkers have shown different results of its impact. In 1991 the World Health Organization listed coffee as a possible cause of cancer, but in 2016 this conclusion was reversed（反转）as more studies have shown a larger number of positive outcomes being associated with coffee drinking. Following centuries on the defensive（处于守势）, it may be time for coffee professionals to dust down those handbills and channel their inner Pasqua Rosée.12. What was the main finding of the recent study mentioned in paragraph 1?A．Coffee has no impact on human function.B．Drinking coffee reduces the risk of bowel cancer.C．People with bowel cancer should avoid drinking coffee.D．Coffee has no effect on the return of bowel cancer.13. Why does the writer mention the history of coffee consumption?A．To highlight the cultural significance of coffee in different regions.B．To emphasize the historical controversy around coffee’s health effects.C．To show coffee’s long-standing popularity and usage.D．To show the link between coffee’s origins and its medical applications.14. Which is the most suitable title for this passage?A．The Dark Side of Coffee: A Hidden Cancer RiskB．The Bitter Drink: Coffee’s Secret in Being PopularC．Uncovering the Truth: Coffee’s Cancer-Fighting HistoryD．Surprising History of Coffee: From Controversial Drink to Potential Cancer Cure15. Which section of the journal might this article belong to?A．Health & fitness. B．Home & garden.C．History & Culture. D．Finance & investment.Around 1830, the Romantic period slowly arose from the delicate form of the Classical period, expanding orchestral（管弦乐的）forces to express emotions and extra-musical ideas they had never expressed before. How was this possible? 16Romantic Period SoundIf you expect the music to have a regular, eight bar phrase（乐节）, think again. It might have irregular phrases to throw you off course, like in Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No. 8. 17 It may well be that composers like Mahler jump to an unexpected musical ending, like in his Symphony No. 2. If in doubt, be prepared to forget anything and everything you previously thought about music, and expect to be surprised, attracted, and amazed by the unexpected twists and turns of the Romantic period.Romantic InstrumentsAs music grew more expressive, the standard orchestral instruments just weren’t rich enough for many Romantic composers. So, more were added, including the contrabassoon, bass clarinet and piccolo, xylophones, drums, celestes, harps, bells, and triangles. 18 Listen to how Tchaikovsky makes use of various instruments in the ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ in his ballet, The Nutcracker.Romantic PiecesDespite often being marked as a Classical period composer, Beethoven’s style really covered the two periods. His later works are pretty expansive, conjuring（变戏法般的）life, death, joy, peace, and even the concept of a universal brotherhood in the symphony of all symphonies, his choral Symphony No. 9, written in 1824. 19 It was a one-movement work evoking a story or poem, like Debussy’s dreamy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune or Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice.20 They also expanded the orchestra to express the full range of human emotion through music. But, understandably, this over-indulgent expression had its critics（批判者）who favoured absolute music-music for music’s sake, without a programme or story-and these critics led music into the ever-diverse 20th Century period.After being poorly bred（饲养）by a backyard breeder. Stevie was ________ at a rescue. She was born ________, so her breeder had no ________ to sell her. As soon as Stevie’s parents became aware of her situation, they immediately offered to ________ her. Her eyes were infected（感染）badly and she had congenital glaucoma（先天性背光眼）. Since she never had ________ to begin with, the vet（兽医）decided to ________ her eyes to relieve pain.Slowly, she started to heal from all the trauma（创伤）she had been through. Her adopt（收养）parents became more and more ________ to her. A ________ was made that Stevie would stay as a family member for the rest of her life.

Each word canToday’s students have a problem. They were born into a world where smartphones, social media, and immediate access to the internet are hurting their ability to focus.Now teachers have a problem too. They find it particularly exhausting to ask students to read complex or long texts without taking 16 breaks. Smartphones have clearly affected the younger generation, but how education should 17 for digital-native students was not something that was 18 when they were getting certified.A common idea among teachers is that short is good. When students can’t seem to pay attention to long lectures, many teachers simply 19 lessons into smaller chunks. In fact, students need time to 20 with a topic once the teacher introduces it before moving on. Switching between small lessons too quickly could rob them of valuable 21 .A study from educational publisher Pearson found that students aged between 10 and 24 tend to stay away from 22 books. Therefore, some tech-forward teachers choose to “meet kids where they are” on platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.Still, while those educators are embracing technology in the classroom to meet students’ needs, they are also finding value in traditional methods, and so suggest a mixed learning approach. Direct 23 from them will never be replaced in their classes. Technology will be 24 only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline.Teachers are making an effort not only to ensure that students take advantage of newtechnologies, but to teach students valuable skills that can help them succeed in a world constantly trying to 25 them.四、完形填空People using ad-blocking software who visited the New York Times website in Marchexplain that, “Advertising helps us fund our journalism,” and gave the visitor two options tosubscription.Despite many internet users’ opposition, a number of publishers are now banning ad-blocking software. Aidan Joyce, chief executive of Oriel, says, “Most ad-blocking users do not object to a reasonable advertising experience 28 quality free content.” Mark Thompson, the group’s chief executive, said, “Anyone who refuses to contribute to the creation of high-quality journalism has no right to 29 it.”To satisfy people who hate advertising, the news organization plans to introduce a higher-priced, advertisement-free 30 . Ben Barokas, chief executive of Sourcepoint, thinks that media groups should offer consumers a range of different ways to 31 content, including for-free with ads, micropayments and subscriptions.However, Sean Blanchfield, chief executive of PageFair, argues that publishers need to exercise care in how they ban ad blockers. “Users have justifiable concerns,” he says. “Ads that are served today have serious privacy and security problems.” Mr. Blanchfield says that PageFair aims to help publishers. “ 32 the advertising experience in a way that the typical ad-block user wouldn’t find offensive.”Publishers that ban ad blockers also risk losing their audience to competitors that turn out more 33 . In some ways, that matters little. But internet users are not just 34 consumers; Instead, they often help distribute a publisher’s content by sharing links with friends through email, forums, and social media.More than half of U.K. adults using an ad blocker said that they would switch it off if doing so was the only way to access a website, according to a survey by YouGov.

The show features cute guinea pig cars getting into all sorts of crazy situations. In addition to the charming characters, people love the show’s quirky style of animation, which is known as stop motion, and it’s a technique with a long and interesting history.In a stop-motion film, the characters are represented by models, puppets, or toys. The animator arranges them in the desired position, takes a photograph, adjusts each object’s position slightly, takes another photo, and repeats the process. When all these photos are arranged in sequence, the objects appear to be moving. The first use of this technique was in a short film called The Humpty Dumpty Circus in 1898.In early Hollywood, film directors began to blend stop-motion with live action to create (at the time) jaw-dropping special effects. For example, the 1925 fantasy film The Lost World featured scary stop-motion dinosaurs chasing real actors. Indeed, the brains behind those revolutionary techniques, the animator Willis O’Brien, would go on to create perhaps the world’s most famous stop-motion monster—the giant gorilla in 1933’s King Kong.By the 1990s, stop-motion was being used in everything, including movies, TV advertisements, and music videos. Programs like the Swiss claymation series Pingu charmed audiences with their endearing characters and style. Then suddenly, everything changed. Computer-generated images (CGI) with special effects began to really take off. Directorswere eager to explore the possibilities of this cutting-edge technology and quickly gave stop motion the boot. And although several outstanding stop-motion movies were released in the ‘90s (The Nightmare before Christmas, for example), it was Pixar’s 3-D animated hit Toy Story that would become the decade’s defining animated movie.For more than 10 years, stop-motion mostly fell out of fashion. By the late 2000s, however, audiences were becoming tired of the look and feel of CGI. Today, stop-motion movies are once again making waves. TV series like Shaun the Sheep are popular all over the world. Films like The Lego Movie even use CGI to imitate stop-motion animation. One studio in particular, Laika, has created five stop-motion pictures since 2009, all of which were nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars.36．A stop-motion film is made by______.A．creating stop-motion effects based on video clips of real humansB．arranging photos of slightly different positions in orderC．taking photographs of various characters randomlyD．using computer techniques to create moving objects37．Which of the following is TRUE regarding the history of stop-motion films?A．The special effects created in the 1925 film “The Lost World” was poorly-received. B．The performance of a real gorilla in 1933’s King Kong caused great excitement. C．Stop-motion films began to lose its popularity in the 1990s, giving way to CGI.D．Toy Story was not as successful as the stop-motion movie The Nightmare before Christmas.38．The underlined expression “gave…… the boot” probably means______. A．dismissed B．praised C．released D．recalled39．It is implied in the last paragraph that______.A．some film companies intend to further improve the stop-motion filmmaking by cooperating with the Oscars.B．though CGI films are not as popular as they used to be, they are still favored by the Oscars. C．audiences across the world are ready to appreciate the impressive art of stop-motion films once again.D．stop-motion films are regaining popularity because of the declining computer-generated special effects.LilyStudying abroad is an area that is becoming increasingly interesting for researchers, as more students are choosing to do a semester, a year or even a degree in another country. In my research, I set out to establish whether young people attending a course abroad acquire more global awareness than students enrolled on similar courses in their home country, Using a comparative study of 50 Canadian undergraduates, half of whom studied abroad for varying lengths of time, there were shown to be considering gains in global awareness and these were not only noted by the students themselves but also their tutors.ThomasMy research project asked ten students starting a year of study abroad to keep a daily record of their experiences. Having begun the diary a month before leaving home they continued it for a month after they returned. The primary reason for studying abroad in all cases was to polish their language skill. The students were allowed to write as freely as they wished by were asked to include comments on their language learning experience as well as on the strategies they used to cope with living in a new culture. Analysing the diaries, we found remarkably similar patterns. All the participants demonstrate a gradual recognition and acceptance of difference in other cultures and a new objectivity about their own culture as a result of their experience.JasmineThis paper reports on some research carried out last year into why students choose a period of study abroad, their reasons for selecting a specific destination, their behaviour when abroad and the extent to which the experience matches their expectations. Having administered a questionnaire to 1,000 international students studying at a number of universities in Australia, we got 696 responses. An initial analysis of the responses has revealed some interesting data suggesting that the key factor affecting all the areas we were investigating was the individual's personality and study interests. Country of origin and 'gender proved less significant than expected.JimmyThis research looked at the career paths of 35 young business people who had spent part of their university course at a foreign educational institution in order to ascertain whether those people had acquired greater cross-cultural perspectives through their experience of study abroad. Concerned about the lack of cultural awareness of their staff, a group of USbusiness corporations proposed the research. The results are less conclusive than expected, but they do suggest that a period of study in a foreign country may help students to develop the cross-cultural awareness that US employers currently seek.40．The passage is mainly about four researchers' findings on ________.A．the reasons for young students to study abroadB．the impact and effects of studying in another countryC．the trend of more students furthering their study abroadD．the interest of students who once studied in another country41．________used the subjects' personal account as the research material.A．Lily B．Thomas C．Jasmine D．Jimmy 42．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Most of the researchers found the students global awareness increased.B．All of the researchers took a reserved attitude towards studying abroad.C．None of the researchers thought gender played a role in students' choice.D．Only one of the researchers did research on the subjects' career development.When antibiotics（抗生素）first became available, farmers used them freely. Now scientists know that the overuse of antibiotics can cultivate drug-resistant bacteria that are dangerous to human health. Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place, figuring out how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and make their way to humans remains an area of intense interest.Jo Handelsman is tracing one such pathway that, as she puts it, travels from "farm to table."Handelsman, a microbiologist who is now associate director for science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, looked into dairy cows, which are often treated with antibiotics and produce manure（排泄物）that farmers use on their crops. In addition to nutrients, that fertilizer may harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria—a problem because the bacteria can come into contact with plants that are finally shipped to supermarkets and sometimes eaten raw.To find out how those antibiotic-resistant bacteria come to exist, Handelsman and her colleagues at Yale University added manure from a nearby Connecticut farm to raised beds of soil in 2013. In this case, the manure specifically came from cows that were not treated with antibiotics. The researchers unexpectedly found that there were more soil bacteria carryingantibiotic-resistant genes when they were grown with the manure than when they were grown with synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer—even though the cows were drug-free.Previous research has found that manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contains resistant bacteria, but the cow-pie results suggest there are more factors promoting resistance besides antibiotic use. Something about manure itself may encourage naturally resistant bacteria to increase.The findings should not, however, give the impression that resistance is everywhere, notes Lance Price, a microbiologist at George Washington University（who was not involved in the study）. "We can control this. There's very clear evidence that when we turn off the antibiotic tap, we bring down drug-resistant bacteria," says Lance.Next on the farm-to-table schedule, Handelsman will test whether radishes grown in soil treated with cow manure are capable of taking up resistant genes from bacteria through their vascular system（循环系统）. "They have veins（血管）just like us," she says. "We don't have any evidence yet that they're taking up the bacteria, but it's a really interesting possibility." 43．What does Jo Handelsman's research focus on?A．How antibiotics makes its way onto our table.B．What restrictions should be put to antibiotics use.C．How antibiotics-resistant bacteria reach human beings.D．What damage the overuse of antibiotics does to humans.44．What did Jo's research find?A．Drug-free cows produced manure with antibiotic-resistant bacteria.B．Synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer did more good to the environment.C．Soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes were increasing with time.D．Manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contained fewer resistant bacteria. 45．Lance Price is quoted in the passage in order to ________.A．provide more evidence that drug-resistance bacteria are dangerousB．suggest another possible explanation to the antibiotics problemsC．emphasize the importance of feeding cows with no antibioticsD．show that the research findings may not be that worrisome46．Which of the following statements is Jo most likely to agree with?A．It is very likely that widespread resistance to antibiotics is not inevitable.B．Plants grown in soil fertilized with cow manure may contain drug-resistant genes.C．There is possibility that radishes take up resistant genes wherever they are planted. D．The vascular system plays a key role in guarding radishes against bacteria.六、六选四Unwanted PublicityMost people know how to use social networking sites wisely, but this isn’t always the case. In March 2011, Australian teenager Jessica Cooper posted an invitation to her 16th birthday party on Facebook. 47 But she made two big mistakes: she set her private party as a “public event”, and she included her address and mobile phone number in her post. The next day she was horrified to find that around 1,900 people had accepted her invitation and her phone was full of messages from strangers.48 Someone had already copied her information and almost immediately the event was posted again, using a fake Facebook account in her name. This time it really went viral. By the following morning, 30,000 people had signed up to attend her party and the numbers were increasing every minute. 49 The event wall was crowded with messages about what they were going to do and bring. Even after the event had been deleted from Facebook, websites and blogs kept making up stories about the party, people were reproducing Jess’s profile photo and photos of her house, and businesses were advertising “Jess Cooper’s party” T-shirts for sale.50 I’m so scared, she told a reporter at the time. Her birthday party, of course, was called off and her parents had to ask the police for protection on the night she had been planning to hold it. She had to close her Facebook and phone accounts, and she probably still feels embarrassed about the unwanted publicity she got in 2011.A．By the time the fake account was shut down by Facebook a day later, more than 200,000 people had accepted the invitation.B．In conclusion, we should bear in mind that social networking sites are not always friendly. C．She was expecting her classmates from school to come and she invited them to bring a few other friends if they wanted to.D．At first, Jess didn’t care at all.E．For lots of people, this was a good joke, but for Jess it wasn’t funny.F．Jess quickly removed the invitation, but her problems were just beginning.七、用单词的适当形式完成句子51．They are both doctors but that is where the ______ ends.

一、阅读理解(共16小题；每小题3分，满分48分）AMy teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked,“Who broke this window?”Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done,but also what our teacher might have found out.She seldom became angry,but she was this time.“Oh,”I thought.I was the one who broke the window.It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt,I would be in a lot of trouble.How would I be able to pay for a big window like that?I didn’t even get an allowance(零花钱).“My father is going to have a temper,”I thought.I didn’t want to raise my hand,but some force much stronger than I pulled it skyward.I told the truth,“I did it.”It was hard enough to say what I had done.My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher,who would strike a student with it,but I feared she was going to start with me.“I know how you like birds,”she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden(深感歉疚的)face.“Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out.It is yours now.It’s time that we got a new one for the school any way.You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed;I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”I couldn’t believe it!I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me.That lesson stays with me every day,and it will echo(回响)forever.1、How was the author’s teacher in general?A.She could get angry easily.B.She could become sad easily.C.She was usually gentle and mild.D.She was usually strict and serious.2、What did the author think when his teacher took down a book?A.She would introduce the book.B.She would hit him hard with it.C.She would read an article from it.D.She would give it to him as a reward.3、What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A.The author had to pay for the broken window.B.The teacher rewarded the author for his bravery.C.The class would get a new book about birds soon.D.The author felt proud when admitting his misdeed.4、Which can summarize(总结)the text?A.Truthfulness is always appreciated.B.Action speaks louder than words.C.Forgive others whenever you can.D.Kill two birds with one stone.BMany kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务)such as emptying a dishwasher,putting dry clothes away,and taking out trash.In exchange,some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores.Susie Walton,a parenting educator and family coach,believes that by rewarding kids,parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless they get something in return.“Running any kind of household is a team effort,”Susie said.“A home is a living ce for everyone in the family.It’s important for kids to see that they all have responsibilities in the house,and that a family decides together how they want their home to look,and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards encourages kids to do chores,and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to earn money.There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取)either online or in the real world.With the ChoreMonster app,kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in(提交) for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall.“Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,”says Chris Bergman,founder of ChoreMonster,“Kids need positive reinforcement(强化)to help encourage them to do so.”think?Should kids be rewarded for doing chores?Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?Write a200-word response.Send it to tfkasks4you@time .Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids.Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published.The deadline for responding is February18.5、What does the underlined word“they”in paragraph2refer to?A.The educators.B.The kids.C.The parents.D.The family.6、What is Chris Bergman’s point of view?A.Kids should be rewarded for doing chores,B.Parents decide what kids can do for the family.C.Parents should do all the housework for their family.D.Kids should help do housework without getting anything in return.7、How can kids get digital points through the ChoreMonster app?A.By playing on their Xbox.B.By finishing some chores.C.By making a trip to the mall.D.By applying for real-life rewards.8、What information should be included in a kid’s200-word article?A.His or her parents’professions.B.His or her character.C.His or her hobbies.D.His or her grade.CI used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself.And unless assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher,I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.All this changed after I joined a sports team.It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team.At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance,nor did I have the ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me.But for the teacher who kept insisting on my“going for it”,I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts(选拔赛)was only the half of it!Luckily,I passed them. When I first started attending the practice sessions,I didn’t even know the rules of the game,much less what I was doing.Sometimes I’d get confused and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.Thank God,I wasn’t the only one“new”at the game,so I decided to focus on learning the game,do my best at each practice session,and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know“just yet”.I practiced and practiced.Soon I knew the rules and the“moves”.Being part of a team was fun and encouraging.Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of confidence.With time,I learned how to play and made friends in the progress—friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player.I never had so much fun!With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.I have gone from “hiding”in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not100percent sure I had the right answer.Now,I have more self-confidence in myself.Every time I come across a challenge,my teacher’s“going for it”rings in my ears.9、What made the author decide to join a basketball team?A.His teacher’s encouragement.B.His determination to change.C.His desire to show himself off.D.His love for team cooperation.10、Before attending the practice sessions,players must______.A.pass the tryoutsB.know what they will doC.have enough courageD.learn the rules in advance11、From the last paragraph,what has happened to the boy?A.He has got more praise and become overconfident.B.He has continued to sit in the back of the classroom.C.He is willing to answer questions in class now.D.He focuses more on study rather than basketball12、What does the author want to tell us in the passage?A.Team spirit can teach us a lot.B.Practice makes perfect.C.Go for it,and we will make it.D.Desire to compete does matter.DFiji has become the first country in the Pacific to recognize“waste pickers”,who collect,repurpose and sell rubbish,as environmental champions.Who are“waste pickers”?These workers are usually women,children and migrants(移民)living in bad conditions.The job comes with many health risks,as workers are exposed to pollutants and poisonous materials,and those who work at open dumps(垃圾场)face risks caused by trucks,fires and surface falls.They remove millions of tons of CO each year from landfills,yet they are often looked down on and treated poorly.Talking to ABC News,Tikitoro from Fiji said that her children are made fun of at school.“The students laugh and point at them”she shared.How is Fiji responding?On July20,2022,in Lautoka,Fiji recognized the environmental benefits that these workers are providing.Thirty women who took part in informal waste picking were officially registered,given bank accounts and provided with protective gear to make their jobs safer.A new name was also created for these workers:Collection Pillars of Recycling,The name came from a workshop organized with International Union for the Conservation of Nature,the Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre and the Pacific Recycling Foundation.Amitesh Deo,founder of the Pacific Recycling Foundation,told the Fiji.Their workshop was about human rights,education,legal literacy and financial literacy.One of the key findings in that workshop was the stigma(污名)attached to waste picking,and one of the contributors to the stigma was the name‘‘informal waste pickers’’.With around20million people picking waste for a living around the world,it is important that they are treated with respect and recognized for the highly valuable work that they do.13、What could be said about the work of picking waste?A.It’s fruitless.B.It’s not deserving.C.It’s dangerous.D.It’s meaningless.14、How has Tikitoro’s work affected her?A.She has been looked down on.B.She has learned new life skills.C.She has gained a sense of achievement.D.She has developed a strong personality.15、What does the underlined word“gear”in paragraph4mean?A.Experiment.B.Effect.C.Color.D.Equipment.16、What may Amitesh Deo say about the name“informal waste pickers”?A.It takes years to form.B.It needs to be forgotten.C.It is popular nationwide.D.It should be formally named.二、七选五（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）17、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test.The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones.This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes.The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.4．The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “_______ ”.A．result B．damage C．mistake D．improvement 5．Which of the following can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A．The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.B．The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.C．Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.D．The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test. 6．According to the study, teens who use their phone s to their right ears a lot do worse in_____.A．matching numbers B．reading signals C．remembering shape D．learning words7．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Cell Phone Use and Safety WarningsB．Facts About Cell Phone Use at SchoolC．Dangerous Levels of Cell Phone Use Among TeensD．Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory ProblemsAn adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3,080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That’s like having 634 cans of soda and 1,200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of thefood supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers (偷猎者) kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (栅栏) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa’s elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (项圈) with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they’ve agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows,” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive. 8．What can we learn about the elephants from paragraph 1?A．They show an interest in hamburgers.B．They move south to survive the cold.C．They migrate for different reasons.D．Females live shorter for food shortage.9．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?A．Results of poaching. B．Reasons for killing elephants.C．Difficulties in migrating. D．Efforts to protect migration paths. 10．Why are collars applied by scientists?A．To discover the secret of migration.B．To track elephants with technology.C．To identify the population of elephants.D．To explore a new route for migration.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Say No to Ivory B．A Journey in AfricaC．Ready for the Move D．Technology in MigrationImagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VRheadset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.12．What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?A．It has been widely accepted.B．It holds faraway outdoor field trips.C．It provides various online courses.D．It requires parents to help with check-ins.13．What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?A．The development. B．The concerns.C．The advantages. D．The popularity.14．Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________．A．Mexican schooling quality has been improvedB．local schooling systems are not fully developedC．technology access gaps may cause education inequalityD．family backgrounds shape people’s views on education15．What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?A．It enriches learning. B．It’s irreplaceable.C．It needs improving. D．It’s undervalued.Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器) have gained popularity recently. These tools can record your daily steps, heart rates, etc. 16 . If yes, it might be a sign that you’re addicted to your fitness tracker.17 . If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long, and if you begin to ignore friends and responsibilities to make time for your workout, then you’re most probably addicted to your fitness tracker.It’s a struggle to overcome the addiction to fitness trackers.18 . For example, the number in your smart watch showing how far you’ve come can give you a sense of achievement.Of course, failing to meet your daily goal can be discouraging. You might focus on your shortcoming rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels. 19 .Therefore, if you’re spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step count to a comfortable level. 20 . For example, concentratingon your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things.A．How can you tell whether you’re addicted to your fitness tracker?B．Actually this addiction to step count can be risky, mentally and physically. C．Don’t overuse your smartwatch.D．However, do you find yourself checking your steps and heart rates too often? E．After all, reaching a daily step count can be so appealing.F．Besides, you can find other things to do that don’t involve checking your fitness tracker.G．It doesn’t covey what you’re reall y feeling.二、完形填空（本大题共1小题）It all began on a cold, rainy day.Sarah, a poor single mother, was struggling to make ends meet.

Andrea Fuentes, the head coach of USA Artistic Swimming, is known for her successful career — she won four Olympic medals for Spain as an artistic swimmer herself. But after a dangerous incident in June 2022, she has also been praised as a hero.During the solo free final at the World Aquatics Championships, Anita Alvarez was performing her routine when things took a turn for the worse. While impressing the judges with her routine, she suddenly lost consciousness(意识) and sank to the bottom of the pool.Fuentes, her coach, looked for help. “I saw that the lifeguards (救生员) were not jumping into the water because they were shocked. I shouted at them from the other side to get into the water immediately!” Fuentes told a Spanish radio program. Growing increasingly concerned, the coach jumped into the water, fully dressed, to rescue Alvarez when medical assistance arrived. Alvarez was then placed on a stretcher and taken away to receive medical care. The team later posted an update, stating that the swimmer was feeling much better, with normal vital signs, oxygen, and sugar levels. After a careful evaluation, she was considered healthy and went back to the swimming pool.Almost a year after the incident, the USA Artistic Swimming team announced the athletes who make up the senior national team at the 2023 World Championships and Pan American Games. Not only is Alvarez one of them, but Fuentes remains the head coach. Together, they’ll work to bring home some much-deserved medals and awards. Coach Fuentes states, “I am veryexcited for this next chapter, and I feel honored as their coach to lead this group of talented swimmers to make Team USA the best team we can be.”4．Why has Andrea Fuentes been considered a hero?A．She won four Olympic medals.B．She reacted rapidly to the incident.C．She was head coach of a USA team.D．She risked her life to save a stranger.5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about ?A．The process of Fuentes’ saving.B．The procedures of medical assistance.C．The dangers faced by artistic swimmers.D．The reason why the lifeguards hesitated.6．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Alvarez has left the senior national team.B．Fuentes’ action has earned her more rewards.C．Alvarez won several medals after the recovery.D．Alvarez’s life has recently returned to normal.7．Which can best describe Fuentes as a coach?A．Caring and ambitious.B．Strict and adventurous.C．Careful and quick-thinking.D．Humorous and kind-hearted.A plan to thicken sea ice using water from the ocean below could offer mankind a final chance to save the disappearing sea ice. Field trials (实地试验) done this year in the Arctic have turned out to be successful, says UK start-up Real Ice.Arctic sea ice cover is falling rapidly because of climate change. Many scientists expect the area to be ice-free in the summer in the 2030s, even if sharp cuts to emissions (排放) are made. The only way to save the area’s summer sea ice is to find a way to thicken the ice, some researchers say.Real Ice’s solution includes making a hole through the ice, then drawing water up and onto the snow that sits atop the ice. The water would go in the snow and freeze (冻结), turning thesnow into ice. This means the cold from the Arctic air would spread through it and result in the growth of more ice on the underside of the ice.Working with the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge, Real Ice has been doing field trials this year in Cambridge Bay on Victoria Island in Canada. The company says the trials have validated the idea, thickening the ice shelf by 50 centimeters compared with a control site between January and May.The experiment also exhibited that the salty water left after the seawater freezes runs through the ice back into the ocean, rather than remaining on top of the ice, which would weaken the result of it.But differences in attitude (态度) were obvious among scientists. Many are worried about the risk of unexpected results.“I don’t think any of these ideas are practical,” says Julienne Stroeve at University College London. She raises worries about the plan’s energy (能源) requirements, as well as the influence that a loss of snow cover would have on animals such as polar bears and seals, which use snow to dig holes for their young. The only solution for saving Arctic ice is to cut emissions, she says. 8．What do some researchers think about the loss of sea ice in the Arctic?A．It has been worsened more rapidly recently.B．The Arctic area will soon be free of sea ice.C．Fruitful steps are being taken to hold it back.D．Mankind has no choice but to thicken the ice.9．What does the underlined word “validate” mean in paragraph 4?A．Supported.B．Accepted.C．Misunderstood.D．Refused. 10．What is Julienne Stroeve’s attitude to thickening sea ice?A．Doubtful.B．Supportive.C．Unconcerned.D．Uncertain. 11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．The Environment in the Arctic is WorrisomeB．The Plan to Refreeze Sea Ice Shows PromiseC．The Method of Cutting Emissions is PreferableD．The Sea Ice Cover in the Arctic Disappears RapidlyGoing to parties, giving presentations, attending networking events...These social interactions are just part of normal (正常的) life for so many people, but for those who are shy, these interactions can feel more like challenges.Shyness is a quality (品质) that is found in cultures around the world. It’s often grouped in with social anxiety or introversion (内向). But shyness isn’t in the same way that social anxiety is, and an introvert often prefers time alone. Shy people often want to be able to interact with others, but find themselves unable to do so.There are facts suggesting that some people are born shyer than others. A study found there is a connection between shyness and deficits (缺陷) in two areas of the brain: the amygdala and hippocampus. Researchers watched the brains of the subjects while they were shown pictures of strange faces many times. For those considered to be not shy, these areas of the brain were set off when the faces were new, but the reaction weakened the more times they saw the same faces. For the subjects considered to be shy, the two areas of the brain continued to react to the faces, whether they were new or being shown again. This failure to habituate soon makes them find meeting with new people uncomfortable and thus avoid new social experiences.The way we are raised is also influential. Parents who are too anxious to protect children from being hurt, can make them unable to develop confident social skills. As we get older, we start to self-manage our behavior, leading them to what we feel comfortable with, which then creates a cycle of shyness.Shyness isn’t a condition that necessarily needs to be specially treated. It’s quite OK to feel shy in certain situations, and generally it doesn’t cause any real problems. However, if shyness does develop into something more-having a noticeable influence on quality of life-then this could be social anxiety, which should be taken seriously.12．How does the author explain shyness in paragraph 2?A．By listing facts.B．By giving examples.C．By making comparison.D．By borrowing famous sayings.13．What can be concluded about shy people from the study?A．They are not as smart as others.B．They don’t react to strange faces.C．They are slower to get used to new faces.D．They develop deficits in the brain after birth.14．Which is a good parenting style according to paragraph 4?A．Not being too overprotective of children.B．Not punishing children for making mistakes.C．Teaching children self-management earlier.D．Helping children to create a circle of shyness.15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To encourage a social skill.B．To introduce a science study.C．To publicize a human quality.D．To suggest a parenting method.Staying fit and healthy isn’t an easy task. But if you are determined to lead a life worthy of living, then it is not too difficult to follow a lifestyle that leads to healthy outcomes. 16 . What we miss is that a healthy life is a complete package of a strong mental, physical and emotionalwell-being. Here are some ways to help you remain healthy.Exercise in a consistent (持续的) mannerLifting heavyweights is advisable only when you are capable of doing so. Otherwise, normal free hand exercises and working out with lightweight gym equipment are enough to attain fitness goals.17 .Build stronger relationshipsIn the midst of attaining greater heights in life, we often forget that there are some people in our lives whose presence matters. We take them for granted and sometimes bear the pain of losing them too. 18 . So, people should build the stronger relationships for the sake of remaining healthy.Keep a separate work and private lifeEvery workaholic (工作狂) suffers from some kind of stress at work, which they have to regularly deal with. 19 , the problem begins when people try to mix the work life with their personal lives. This situation can create tension between family members which will ultimately lead to a negative impact on your health. 20Whatever you do in your life — from eating to sleeping to hitting the gym — maintaining a regular schedule(日程安排) is always recommended. Even if you do all the things right, but keepthem on a haphazard (杂乱无章的) schedule, then the effect it creates on your health will show up in the years to come, if not immediately.A．Even if you take care of your emotional selfB．Though this is quite a normal issueC．Maintain proper timings in any caseD．Sleeping disorders can lead to major health risksE．This hurts us a lot and has a direct impact on our healthF．We often link a healthy lifestyle to a balanced diet and enough sleepG．But the most important issue is to maintain the consistency of doing so二、完形填空Once upon a time, there was a small village in the heart of a big jungle(丛林). 21 by the mountains and in the shade of green trees, the villagers happily lived a simple life.All of them 22 their daily tasks and none had the will to try something new, 23 one girl named Hannah. 24 people in the village could read, let alone write, and Hannah was one of them. Hannah was a/an 25 person and loved to explore.One afternoon, when Hannah was out, she came upon an old cottage, whose door was 26 hanging(悬挂低垂).

In front of Hannah was a room full of books glistering in the dust, just waiting to be explored. Hannah knew in her heart that she would like to read all of them. She 29 the books and the shelves until they were clean. When it was dark, she quickly picked two books and went back home to read overnight. The next day, she quickly finished her breakfast and made her way to the cottage again.The little girl was so inspired by the books and she learned the 30 of love and friendship, and that the true strength 31 within one’s own heart! She decided to share the tales with the people of her village, which she knew would be a difficult journey. Hannah started telling tales every day at her cottage and added her own touch of curiosity every now and then to make them more 32 .With time going by, more and more people came to the readings. Hannah reminded everyone 33 the importance of human connection, respect, and love. She became a 34 for everyone that even in the dustiest corners, there can be a hidden 35 . And that treasure is not always gold, it can be a tale simply waiting to be shared.21．A．Lost B．Caught C．Surrounded D．Buried 22．A．used to B．were used to C．were used for D．used 23．A．except for B．besides C．as well as D．in addition to 24．A．Many B．Many a C．Few D．A few 25．A．warm B．romantic C．kind D．adventurous 26．A．barely B．completely C．simply D．closely 27．A．made use of B．happened to C．got the best of D．gave up 28．A．disappointed B．delighted C．surprised D．satisfied 29．A．dusted B．opened C．moved D．carried 30．A．power B．strength C．energy D．force 31．A．lies B．happens C．appears D．crosses 32．A．disappointing B．interesting C．surprising D．confusing 33．A．on B．at C．in D．of 34．A．speaker B．reminder C．supporter D．dreamer 35．A．trick B．treasure C．love D．gold三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Making and keeping good friends is a challenge for all of us,whether you are shy or not.Since you’ve done this successfully before,one thing is to think back on how you developed friendship in the past.Probably the best way to make and keep friends is to find others who share your sting friendships often develop between people who enjoy the same activities.You also want to be with friends who share your values and goals for life.It just depends on what your own interests are.That old saying is also true the best way to have a friend is to be a friend.Reach out to the others who share your interests,sit with them at lunch,invite them to join you in activities you all like,listen to their thoughts and tell them about yours.Being a real friend takes time and effort.With time and effort, I’m sure you will find some very good friends during your school years and you'll always be in touch after leaving school.Yours,Tom Black36.Mike wrote the letter to______.A.ask Mr.Black why people don’t like himB.ask Mr.Black why his old friends left himC.ask Mr.Black to introduce some friends to himD.ask Mr.Black for some advice on making friends37.Why does Mike want to leave his old friends?A.Because they try to make him smoke and drink.B.Because they have formed some bad habits.C.Because they no longer want to spend time with him.D.Because they have never treated him as a good friend.38.In Mr.Black’s opinion,making and keeping friends is_______.A.not so easyB.just hard for shy peopleC.an easy task for some peopleD.especially difficult for students39.In Paragraph2of his letter,Mr.Black mainly suggests that Mike should make friends with those who_______.A.haven’t good goals for lifeB.can set good examples to himC.have a lot of moneyD.have the same interests as him40.By mentioning the old saying,the writer suggests that Mike_______.A.wait until a true friend appearsB.make as many friends as possibleC.act like a friend so as to have a friendD.tell his friends what he really thinks of themBMany years ago,I was fresh out of school and working in Denver.One day,I drove to my parents’home in Missouri for Thanksgiving Day.Suddenly,I found the gas was running out.I stopped, wondering what I was supposed to do.A car pulled up behind me and an old couple came out.They offered to pull my car to a gas station.When we said good-bye to each other,the husband gave me his business card.When I arrived home,I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note.I soon received a note saying that helping me had made their holiday meaningful.Years later,I drove to a nearby town for a meeting in the morning.In the late afternoon,I returned to my car and found that the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford Dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found a salesman waiting beside the door.“Would you please do me a favor?”I asked and explained my trouble.He quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.He would accept no payment.When I got home,l wrote a note to thank him.I received a letter back from the salesman.He said no one had ever taken the time to write him a note of thanks and it meant a lot.Although it is easy to say thanks to others,it means so much.41.Why did the author drive to his parents'home in Missouri?A.To repair his car.B.To see a friend.C.For Thanksgiving Day.D.For a meeting.42.What happened when the author found the gas was running out?A.An old couple helped him go to a gas station.B.He had a word with a policeman nearby.C.He pushed his car to a car dealership.D.He called up his best friend for help.43.What can we learn from Paragraph3?A.The author got a gas from the old couple.B.The author’s car battery was dead.C.The author wrote a letter to the old couple.D.The author bought a car from the dealership.44.When the salesman received the author’s thank-you note,he must have been______.A.movedB.worriedC.nervousD.sad45.The main purpose of the passage is to tell us_______.A.how to write a thank-you noteB.how to deal with car problemsC.the kind-heartedness of old peopleD.the importance of expressing thanksCIt’s good to make mistakes,and here is why.First of all,mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things.It's always good to try new things because when we are trying new things,we are growing.If we never try anything new,how can we improve?How can we expand?The simple answer is“We can’t”.Around us,everything in our physical world is the result of someone trying something new.Another good thing about mistakes is this:When we are making mistakes,we are learning. Consider this—Edison failed10,000times before he perfected the light bulb.When asked how it felt to fail that many times,he said that he had learned10,000things that didn't work.Finally,when we make a mistake,we are much closer to success.Why?Because when all is said and done,we will have tried some number of things before we succeeded.Every time we make a mistake,we eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the result of a mistake. Quite the contrary,when we try something new,we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits.We shouldn’t do anything blindly.Because we all have limited resources—in the form of time and money,so we must realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and arrange these resources appropriately so we can learn,make corrections,and try it again.Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.There is an old saying that goes,“If you’re not making mistakes,you're not trying hard enough."So go forth and make mistakes.And learn.And grow.46.From the second paragraph,we can conclude that______.A.mistakes are unnecessary for developmentB.mistakes let us see our own limitsC.it’s common for people to make mistakesD.making mistakes is better than not trying47.According to the passage,if we try new things,we can_____.A.move forwardB.never failC.obtain nothingD.be closer to mistakes48.The underlined word“eliminate”means_____.A.make up forB.get rid ofC.chooseD.solve49.According to the passage,one thing we should pay attention to about making mistakes is_____.A.avoiding making the same mistakesB.accepting the outcome willinglyC.making proper arrangements for our next tryD.hiding the results after each mistake50.The article is mainly about_____.A.how to deal with mistakesB.what benefits making mistakes bringsC.how to achieve successD.how to make use of our mistakes第三部分:听力(共15小题;满分20分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分)听下面五段对话。

One blogger on Xiaohongshu with the nickname Gehuaren is one such poetry lover. The twenty — something girl not only writes poems as a form of entertainment in her spare time, but also improvises (即兴创作) poems for others at night markets in Yunnan.As a “street-stall poet”, Gehuaren often writes pieces of poetry quickly based on themes given by customers. For her, everything in the world, no matter unimportant or significant, can serve as her poetic muse. “A glass, a tree on the side of a street in the dawn or a person who once talked with me ... these all could become themes for my poems,” said Gehuaren.With free styles and broad themes, her poems also strike a chord with many young peopleonline, helping her gain over 190,000 followers on Xiaohongshu. Many of her followers have made comments such as “I feel healed by your poems because I can find beauty from unnoticeable things and in turn, slow down to reflect on my life.”Apart from poetry, different means such as vlogging and photo sharing can be used to record fragments (片段) of daily life. But Wu Ruilin, a student from Sichuan province, considers poetry to be the best way to express them. Wu said, “Taking photos or vlogging can just show the object or your emotions in real life. Yet poetry, which can be used to excite the imagination, shows the beauty in life better.” So when he is inspired by the beauty of daily life, the 18-year -old writes it down into lines of poetry and then shares them with his friends on his WeChat Moments.“No matter why young people write their unique brand of poems, they are attempting to take every moment in lives seriously, face their lives bravely and actively express themselves,” Xiang Biao, director of the Max Planck Institute in Germany, told BJNews .4．What does the underlined word “muse” mean based on paragraph 2?A．exhibition B．thrill C．inspiration D．chapter5．Why do Gehuaren’s followers relate to her poems?A．They have a strong sense of rhythm.B．They are original and full of imagination.C．They have healing effects on readers.D．They reflect the differences between the ideal and reality.6．According to Wu Ruilin, what makes poetry distinguished from vlogging and photosharing?A．It better presents the beauty in life. B．It shows emotions more directly.C．It takes less time to write poems. D．It reflects more aspects of life. 7．What’s Xiang Biao’s attitude to young people writing their unique brand of poetry?A．disapproving B．favourable C．doubtful D．ambiguousThere’re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets.Now, the food technology startup One Third, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits andvegetables will last. The startup is named One Third because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of One Third, Marco Snickers said.Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis. This means that a shipment of ripe tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.One Third’s scanner combınes the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions.The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage. “Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact, reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.8．What problem does One Third aim to solve?A．The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables.B．Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers.C．Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life.D．Consumers’ difficulty judging the freshness of produce.9．What inspired One Third to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner?A．The use of the device in another field.B．Observation of the food-supply chain.C．Consumer demands for fresher produce.D．Experts’ advice on food waste reduction.10．What can we learn about the manual quality inspections?A．They are time-consuming and costly.B．They are not performed at a regular time.C．The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement.D．The shipping time is not taken into consideration.11．In what column of a magazine can the text be taken from?A．Education.B．Science.C．Entertainment.D．Lifestyle.Protecting marine (海洋的) animals is crucial for the health and balance of our oceans, since they play a vital role in the marine ecosystem, serving as food sources; contributing to nutrient cycling, and maintaining biodiversity. However, human activities such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution pose significant threats to these creatures, so effective conservation measures should be taken to change for the better.Most people know about the friendly voices of dolphins and the blue songs of humpback whales, but what about the hundreds of thousands of other creatures that live in the sea? Scientists estimate that over 100 types of marine mammals, as well as 1,000 different fish species, generate sounds. Additionally, many sea creatures produce passive sounds while eating, swimming, or crawling along the sea floor. A group of international scientists is now joining forces to create a library of all the unique sounds that animals living under the sea make.The Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds, or GLUBS, will be an open-source collection of the signature sounds created by sea creatures. The team will use existing libraries of sea sounds and expand upon these to create a more comprehensive collection. The platform will also include AI algorithms (算法) that can detect and classify different sounds, which will allow scientists to produce species distribution maps.When asked about the motivation for this project, Miles Parsons, one of the project’s leaders, pointed to the worldwide decline in biodiversity. By examining the sounds coming from bodies of water, scientists can monitor the changes in the distribution and diversity of various ecosystems. Studying the sounds could also be used to identify new species. Parsons explained that many of the world’s most extensive habitats are aquatic (水生的). GLUBS could be a great resource in helping preserve water species around the world.12．Which of the following is true about sea creature sounds?A．It is difficult to distinguish eating sounds.B．Only 1,000 different fish species produce sounds.C．Little is known about the sounds of marine animals.D．Scientists don’t have to create sound libraries from zero.13．How will AI be used in the library?A．It will be used to create new aquatic sounds.B．It is needed when scientists distribute maps.C．It helps manage the number of species in the sea.D．It can help sort out the different collected sounds.14．What reason did Miles Parsons give for creating the sound library?A．Biodiversity is decreasing around the world.B．It is difficult to record the sound s of sea creatures.C．We should keep the balance and preserve the ocean.D．Fishermen could use the sounds to help them catch more fish.15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．A scientific research assisted by AI.B．Sounds Created by the Marine Animals.C．GLUBS: A Sound Library of the Sea.D．Sharp decline in global biodiversity.How to Get Close to ClassicsMany people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. 16 . It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?Don’t be afraid to be confused.We get it : it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 17 . Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.Research, research, research.18 . Researching the author and the time and place they were writing about can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.19 .This step is self - explanatory. While it ‘s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning chance. Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.Remember: there is no right answer.There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no fixed interpretation and no exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects are meaningful to you. Just enjoy the process. 20 !A．Before you turn to page one, do some diggingB．Just pick the book up and get down to readingC．Love for classics is obviously not at first sightD．A good start can help you get out of the confusionE．Never beat yourself up for not knowing somethingF．However, you can get close to classics immediately you pick it upG．Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t perfect, it’s still valuable二、完形填空It was a Saturday a few summers ago.

He immediately sped up, but the old man’s face stayed in the window. John rolled his window down and asked in a shaking voice, “What do you want?” The old man replied softly, “Do you have any tobacco?” Then John handed the old man a cigarette (烟), rolled up the window quickly, and said to Jack, “Step on it!”A few minutes later, they calmed down and started laughing. Jack said, “I don’t know whathad happened, but don’t worry. The speedometer says we’re driving at 80m/ph.” All of a sudden, there was a light knock at the window and the old man reappeared. “There he is again,” John said. He rolled down the window and shakily said, “Yes?” “Do you have a lighter (打火机)?” the old man asked quietly. John threw a lighter out of the window and shouted, “Step on it!”They were driving at a speed of 100 miles an hour. Then all of a sudden, there was yet another knock. “My God! He’s back!” John rolled down the window and screamed (尖叫), “What do you want?” The old man replied gently, “Do you want any help with gett ing out of the mud (泥)?”36.

Christmas is a time when birds would get injured more easily. To help make sure that your pet has a merry holiday this year, follow the tips below.Be careful when you are decorating (装饰) your house. Keep your birds away from any lights or decorations, and above all, the Christmas tree. A bite to a wire or light bulb might cause burns, and the glass decorations might hurt the birds.Keep your birds away from gift wrapping (包装) materials. The inks used to print them could often be harmful. Besides, ribbons (丝带) may get caught around your bird’s neck, legs and toes. This can cause serious injuries or even death to them.Don’t share the holiday meal. Birds will feel encouraged when their owners share food with them, but many holiday dishes are bad for the birds’ health. So you’d better prepare a separate meal for your birds.You may let your birds drink some juice, but never wine. It can be deadly to birds.Birds can get stressed easily if they are among sights, sounds, and people that they are not familiar with. Leave your birds in a quiet area of your home until the party is over.With a little care and attention to these suggestions, you and your pet will stay safe and happy.40.

The park was closed because rock slides (石崩) destroyed part of Cambridge Road, the only way into the park. “We had to remove tons of rocks,” said Hugh Foster. “Then we had to rebuild a bridge and almost a mile of highway. I’m really surprised we got it done so soon.”The lake is famous for the bass (鲈鱼). In fact, the record of a largemouth bass in California happened in 1975, when a 14-year-old boy caught a 19-pound bass.There is a full-service restaurant in the park, but no wine is sold or allowed. More than 100 picnic tables are offered in the park. The west side of the park includes a football field, two volleyball courts and a swimming pool. There is also some exercise equipment there.The entry fee is $10 per vehicle and $10 per boat. The parking lot (停车场) holds about 500 vehicles. If it is full, no additional vehicles are allowed to enter. Latecomers either leave or wait inline for someone to leave the parking lot. Because of many requests, park officials have decided to allow campers to stay overnight on weekends.The park is open from dawn to 10 p.m. during the summer. “We welcome about 2,000 visitors every day during the summer,” said Foster. “People love this place, because they can get very close to Mother Nature.”48.
