Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.(A)The night before the March on Washington, on 28 August 1963, Martin Luther King asked his aides for advice about the next day’s speech. “Don’t use the lines about ‘I have a dream’, his adviser Wyatt Walker told him. “You’ve used it too many times already.”King had indeed employed the refrain(repeated sentences)several times before. It had featured in an address just a week earlier at a 36 in Chicago, and a few months before that at a huge rally in Detroit. As with most of his speeches, both had been well received, but neither had been regarded as momentous.This speech had to be different. While King was by now a national political figure, relatively few outside the black church and the civil rights movement had heard him give a full 37 . With all three television networks offering live 38 of the march for jobs and freedom, this would be his oratorical(演说的)introduction to the nation.After a wide range of conflicting suggestions from his staff, King left the lobby at the Willard hotel in DC to put the final 39 to a speech that he hoped would be received, in his words, “like the Gettysburg Address”.A few floors below King’s suite, Walker made himself 40 . King would call down and tell him what he wanted to say; Walker would write something that he hoped worked, and then head up the stairs to 41 it to King.King finished the outline at about midnight and then wrote a draft in longhand. One of his aides who went to King’s suite that night saw words 42 out three or four times. He thought it looked as though King were writing poetry. King went to sleep at about 4 am, giving the text to his aides to print and distribute. The “I have a dream” section was not in it.A few hours after King went to sleep, the march’s organizer, Bayard Rustin, 43 on to the Washington Mall, where the demonstration would take place later that day, with some of his assistants, to find security personnel and journalists 44 demonstrators. Political marches in Washington are now commonplace, but in 1963 attempting to 45 a march of this size in that place was unprecedented.(B)Wine tasting means sampling it in order to judge its quality or define its characteristics. Professional wine tasting requires the study and 46 of some rules on how to taste a wine, however everyone can do it, even the less experienced, following some easy precautions. There are no differences between how to taste a red wine or how to taste a white wine. In both cases it is a question of carrying out a sensory analysis that involves sight, smell and taste and, of course, interpreting what your senses 47 with your own personal experiences, memories and emotions.The appearanceOf all the sensory systems, the visual one is certainly the most complex. Just think that the optic nerve contains a million receptors compared to the acoustic one which contains only 30,000. Visual evaluation begins by observing the wine as it is poured into the glass. The glass should be brought to eye level to evaluate color, transparency and 48 . The best way to do this is to tilt(倾斜)the glass against a white background to bring out the color tone. By rotating the glass so that the wine spreads on the walls of the glass, you will observe the arches, also known as ‘tears’ or ‘legs’: 49 of the viscosity(粘稠度)of the wine and the alcohol content. The smaller the arches and the more viscous the wine is on the walls, the greater the structure and the alcohol content.On the noseThe sense of smell is never 50 , unlike what happens to other sense organs, such as vision. For this reason, the moment in which the wine is smelt in a sensory analysis is very important and requires particular 51 . The olfactory(connected with the sense of smell)stimuli reach the right hemisphere of our brain, the one in charge of creativity and emotions. The sense of smell has direct connections with the part of the brain which oversees our intimate and emotional life, and can 52 brain activity by influencing our actions much more than we realize. The wine should be smelt when the glass is still, inhaling deeply and quickly and then moving the glass away. Before sniffing again, it is good to swirl the glass in order to release the volatile(易挥发的)substances. The perceived odors are generally grouped into six large families: floral, fruity, vegetable, spicy, different biochemicals. We also try to perceive its intensity and complexity.On the palateThe time has come to taste the wine and understand how to evaluate the wine in the mouth, using the sense of taste. Taste has similar 53 mechanisms as the sense of smell, one that operates on molecules dispersed in the air and the other on compounds dissolved or otherwise conveyed by a liquid 54 . Both smell and taste reach the areas older than the cerebral cortex(大脑皮层). The wine must be tasted in small quantities and held in the mouthto allow the taste buds (there are four flavors that we can recognize with descriptors: sweet, salty, sour and bitter)and the consistency or body.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The March on Washington for Jobs and FreedomThe March on Washington brought together many different civil rights groups, labor unions, and 56 organizations, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the American Federation of Labor, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.57 , not all civil rights activists were in favor of the march. Bayard Rustin, though one of the main organizers of the march, was concerned that it would turn violent and damage the international 58 of the Civil Rights Movement. Others, like Malcolm X, who helped popularize the militant Black Power Movement, looked down upon the March on Washington because of its nonviolent 59 . Calling it the “Farce(闹剧)on Washington,” Malcolm X accused black civil rights activists of teaming with whites and accepting 60 from whites.On August 28, 1963, 250,000 protesters gathered on the National Mall in Washington, DC to demonstrate 61 full civil, political, and economic rights for African Americans. The March on Washington was one of the largest demonstrations for human rights in US history, and a spectacular 62 of the power of non-violent direct action. 1963 was the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation(《解放黑奴宣言》), and one of the major themes of the rally was that the 63 of emancipation remained unfulfilled. The march began at the Washington monument and ended at the Lincoln Memorial, where representatives of the 64 organizations delivered speeches.The last speaker of the day was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who delivered what became the most famous speech of the entire civil rights era, the “I Have a Dream” speech, which 65 a world in which people were judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.Because of this, a popular 66 has arisen that it was Dr. King who initiated the rally. In fact, the idea for a march on Washington belonged to A. Philip Randolph, a black labor leader who 67 the Negro American Labor Council at the time of the march, and had previously organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first African American labor union in US history.The sole purpose of the March on Washington was not to eliminate Jim Crow laws, which meant Southern blacks would continue to live in conditions of poverty and inequality, with whites 68 them their hard-won political rights and freedoms, though the protesters certainly desired to bring a 69 end to the segregation that had been institutionalized in the South after the Civil War. Though the organizers of the rally demanded the desegregation of all schools, the majority of the demands revolved around issues of economic 70 -like equal access to public facilities and accommodations, housing, education, and jobs.56. A. academic B. religious C. vocational D. commercial57. A. Furthermore B. Therefore C. Instead D. Nevertheless58. A. reputation B. community C. agreement D. status59.

A. granting B. denying C. threatening D. declining69. A. substantial B. royal C. swift D. remarkable70. A. prosperity B. security C. policy D. justiceSection BDirections:Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Charles in ChargeIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most critics date the genre to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody aspired to do it professionally. Many works of fiction appeared anonymously, with attributions like “By a Lady.” The steam-powered printing press was still in its infancy; the literacy rate in England was under 50%. And novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, toxic or just plain bad. “No species of composition has been so much decried,” wrote one lady of the time, Jane Austen, in Northanger Abbey, a satirical novel that criticizes a sensitive young woman who reads too many gothic novels.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first literary celebrity: a career writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Expelling him from the pantheon(名流)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? It’s partly that Dickens’ writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his career rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. As the 200th anniversary of his birthday approaches, it is possible—and enlightening for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.Dickens got into novel writing by accident. As a young man, he longed to be an actor and trained to be a reporter. In 1836 he accepted a magazine commission to write a series of comic sketches to accompany a set of illustrations of sporting life. The result, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, was a sensation. It established Dickens as a peerless ventriloquist(腹语者), able to channel the voices of both celebrities and servants, and as a gifted writer of serials, which became the standard method of publication in an era when books were expensive but cheap periodicals thrived. Most important in terms of his legacy, The Pickwick Papers established him as a financially viable(可存活的)artist, bridging the gap between creativity and commerce. From Pickwick to his deathbed, he wrote for an audience,and he wrote for money—two forces that before his time had had little to do with art. “He invented that form of publicity, an intimacy with his mass readership” says Nicholas Dames, a Victorian scholar. “And he invented merchandising.”(Think of A Christmas Carol, which he timed for the holidays.)“All those things that we associate with publishing culture—he was essentially the first.” And Dickens knew it. He called himself the Inimitable, a nickname that stuck.71. Which of the following statements is true of British novels in the 18th century?A. They were mostly written by female amateur writers.B. About only half of the Britons had ever read novels.C. They were unpopular partly for technological reasons.D. Most novels were poorly received except satirical ones.72. Dickens is compared with the “Mona Lisa” in the text to stress ______.A. the impressive characters he createdB. his great importance in British literatureC. his success in gaining a wide readershipD. the readers’ love and admiration for him73. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To praise Charles Dicken’s literary contributions to British literature.B. To introduce Charles Dickens’ life experience and his achievements.C. To analyze the growth of novel writing in the UK in the 18th century.D. To explore Charles Dickens’ path to becoming a great writer in history.74. In the author’s opinion, Dickens’ uniqueness can be best explained by the fact that ______.A. his works could appeal to readers of different social classesB. He took advantage of the social, political and scientific advancesC. He made writing both profitable and touching to the readersD.

Potato chips, like pizza and ice cream, top the list of the most “addictive” foods. We know that certain features of these foods trigger the brains pleasure center and make it difficult to stop eating.But when we say these foods are “addictive,” do we really mean it? Can you literally be addicted to food?It’s a controversial question among researchers. “Food addiction is not universally recognized by medical professionals, but there are individual practitioners who believe that it is a concept that has utility,” says Chevese Turner from the National Eating Disorder Association.Although you can find programs that treat food addiction, trying to get treatment for food addiction could be dangerous because the treatment plan could encourage disordered eating. And to be honest, the “symptoms” of foodaddiction, according to Food Addicts Anonymous, are a little questionable. Their website asks: “Have you tried different diets or weight loss programs, but none has worked permanently? Do you avoid social interactions because you feel you do not look good enough or do not have the proper fitting clothes?”Many people could answer yes to these questions. “People who have drafted themselves into the anti-fat-person army feel comfortable and justified in judging fat people’s food choices,” activist Ragen Chastain wrote in her blog. “Whether they are disgracing us for eating something that they don’t think we should be eating, or congratulating us for eating something of which they approve, fat people can find ourselves dealing with all kinds of inappropriate interactions involving food.”Other symptoms listed by Food Addicts Anonymous sound more legitimate: “Have you found yourself vomiting, using laxatives(泻药)or exercising a lot to avoid a weight gain after you have eaten a lot?” This kind of symptom certainly points to disordered eating, if not food addiction.Perhaps the closest recognized condition to food addiction is binge eating disorder(BED), But BED and food addiction are not the same thing. “Food addiction is defined as causing a preoccupation with foods that provide intense pleasure and dopamine increases like drugs, alcohol, shopping, gambling,” Turner says. “While people with BED may feast on highly tasty foods, bingeing is only one part of the behaviors associated with the disorder and, therefore, treatment is complex.”Often, people who binge also engage in restrictive behaviors like overexercising and fasting, Turner says people who have BED also tend to have depression, anxiety or other mood disorders.While treatment for food addiction typically calls for avoiding white flour, sugar, and other so-called “addictive” foods, treatment for BED is more involved. BED treatment tries to address underlying issues, including painful experiences and mental health, as well as decrease the urge to binge and restrict food. In treatment for food addiction, restriction typically goes unaddressed. While eating disorder experts agree that some foods are engineered to be as tasty and addictive as possible, many worry that the concept of food addiction could be more harmful than helpful.78. The researchers’ disagreement lies in ______.A. whether Lay’s potato chips are addictiveB. what the public mean by “addictive”C. whether food addiction is medically acceptedD. how much nutrition addictive foods contain79. What can be inferred from Ragen Chastain’s words?A. Plus-size people are actually weak-willed food addicts.B. We live in a culture that shames and bullies fat people.C. People in good shape are justified to criticize fat people.D. People of a certain size must interact with food cautiously.80. The underlined phrase “preoccupation with” is closest in meaning to ______.A. symptom concerningB. satisfaction fromC. interaction withD. obsession with81. Why does the treatment for food addiction cause people’s concern?A. Its neglect of the addicts’ restrictive behavior causes harm.B. This treatment is more involved than the treatment for BED.C. The experts underestimate such issues as traumatic experiences.。

He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message popped up, and Keene did a double-take at the subject line: “A TRIBE IS WANTED”.From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.With huge media interest, the courageous and bold idea could have had enormous consequences for tourism. The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) was secured, the virtual community sprung to life. All major decisions on the island were voted on by an online tribe that anyone around the world could join. The idea was so exciting that the journey was turned into a 5 part BBC series “Paradise or Bust” and a book, Tribewanted.Ben spent 10 years building and expanding Tribewanted beyond the crowdfunded sustainable-tourism villages on an island in Fiji, to a beach in Sierra Leone and a farm in Umbria. He faced challenges including a fire sweeping through the island in the first week of the project, a military coup (政变), and a hurricane that threatened to destroy the emerging village. Online disagreements also made decision making hard and pushed the project to the edge.The project survived, and for a while, thrived. From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape school team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider at Virgin Startup, and Zinc. Ben has supported and guided thousands of people to set up impactful businesses on a limited budget.4. What is Tribewanted?A.A voting software. B.An island adventure project.C.An employment plan. D.An eco-community in virtual and realworlds.5. Which phrase may best replace the underlined “sprung to life”?A.passed on. B.came into being.C.got involved. D.struggled to survive.6. What might be Ben’s intention of joining Escape the City?A.To seek funds for his Tribewanted .B.To call for investment in remote islands.C.To support people to launch influential businesses.D.To help ambitious businessmen to change careers.7. In which column can you read this text?A.Inspiring people. B.Connected lives.C.Inventive solutions. D.Global business.About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats from my phone. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.“Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them” was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That’s truly unbearable!I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering online, now I either cook something or get takeaway nearby. Cooking better food has been a great motivation for me. On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money. As with lots of online shopping, I’d been ordering food without much th ought about the cost. Cooking is almost always cheaper and so is old-school takeaway.These changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that they meet the needs of the convenience-seeking, time-starved individuals. But rather than adding to my stress, having to plan meals again somehow made life less so. Some days it’s been a good motivation to stop work earlier, and engage in activities like going to the shops, or start chopping onions. Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what? For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (有营养的).8. Which might be the reason for the author to remove Uber Eats?A.Her passion for cooking. B.Her boredom with online ordering.C.Her preference for another app. D.Her concern for its negative impacts.9. What does the author think of cooking?A.Addictive and money-saving. B.Cheap and convenient.C.Time-consuming but rewarding. D.Motivating but stressful.10. What does “the process” refer to in the last paragraph?A.Reflecting on the influence of hi-tech.B.Adapting to life free of delivery apps.C.Getting into a healthy eating habit.D.Rediscovering the fun of cooking.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A.My Order Never ArrivedB.Why Uber Eats Gets Less ActiveC.What Delivery Apps Can Not Offer MeD.The Convenience Was Not Worth The CostAccording to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art — we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry? Perhaps not since high school.Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life become fuller and happier.Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality.Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in,” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don’t make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessit y for a life full of deep satisfaction.12. What does paragraph 1 focus on?A.The opinion of U.S. adults about art.B.The types of art that U.S. adults engage with.C.The mismatch between value and behaviour as to art.D.The connection between everyday experiences and art.13. What is a mistaken idea in the author’s opinion?A.Art reveals the nature of life. B.Art gives way to material pursuits.C.Life without art is meaningless. D.Background music is a kind of art.14. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5?A.Art awakes people’s talents.B.Art improves physical health.C.Art brings us closer to nature. D.Art makes life fuller and happier.15. What might be the best title?A.Art: A Habit, Not a Luxury B.Art: A Bridge, Not a BarrierC.Art: A Decoration, Not a Reality D.Art: A Pleasure, Not a BurdenCrab traps (蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out. 16 However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.With no one there to ge t them back, the traps continue to fish, says a researcher. “Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die. 17 ”Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers, especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: 18 In just three years, the program has removed almost 3,000 crab traps from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are still in good condition are returned to their owners, while traps that are too broken down are recycled.19 Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.Chloé Dubois, head of a nonprofit focused on marine debris (废弃物), calls it “a great success story.” Dubois says there have been programs historically very successful at recycling waste products at the end of their life cycle. But in the ghost fishing and marine debris field, she says, “ 20 There aren’t many examples of programs like this.”Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up, I was really shy, so I always turned to_______,” she said. “They sort of became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad was diagnosed with cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger _______ and she started thinking about kids in _______ situations.When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to _______ others. “The idea came from just great thankfulness that the doctors were able to perform such a(n) _______,” she says. “But also a little _______ that there were kids who were fighting the same battle.”Emily started a book drive (书籍捐赠活动) in her hometown. The goal was to _______ books and give them to _______ being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.Emily had no idea how much _______ her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to ________. “I was expecting maybe two or three ________from neighbors,” she says. “But it ended up ________,” especially when news stations began reporting it.

It is essential for us to build good habits or turn bad habits into good ones.It was from a personal experience that I understood this principle. At the age of 4, I was a girl who had never read books. My aunt bought me a comic book. This book aroused my interest in reading. Then, I built the habit of reading. With the abundant knowledge accumulated by reading, I am a confident and capable student now. In my opinion, the key to develop a good habit is persisting in doing it. With good habits, you can make progress and your life would be more convenient. So, don’t wait to build your good habits!听力答案(1.5*20=30)1-5 ACABC6-10 BCABA11-15 CABAC16-20 BCABC2022-2023学年度第一学期英语期末考试高二年级满分150分时间120分钟笔试部分第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AThree months before I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around to welcome me into the world a few months later.As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special position. My parents were comple mentary instructors:Mom taught me the words, and Dad taught me to obey them. But the stranger... He was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.I now know that my early concepts about relationship were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom blamed...and NEVER asked to leave.More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended(融合) right in but is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you were to walk into my parent's room today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures. His name?We just call him...“TV”.He has a younger sister now. We call her “Computer”.21. When the stranger came to live with our family, he was ________.A. ignored by the childrenB. accepted by every family memberC. abandoned because it was too noisyD. driven away for no reason22.The stranger can do all the following things EXCEPT that he can ________.A. tell us some funny storiesB. reject the adviceC. influence the children's characterD. predict the future23.The underlined word “spellbound” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.A. concentratedB. puzzledC.astonishedD. fascinated24.What can we learn from the last three paragraphs of the passage?A. The TV set is out of fashion and often breaks down.B. Old as he is, we like the stranger best.C. The computer is more advanced and has gained greater popularity.D. We decide to throw the TV set away immediately.BJoey was born with club feet(畸形足). The doctors convinced his parents that with treatment he would be able to walk normally–but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk.The children in his neighborhood ran around during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. His parents never told him he probably wouldn’t be ableto run as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder than others–perhaps he sensed the abilities that seemed to come naturally to others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team ran, only the top seven runners would be chosen. His parents didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team. So he didn’t know.He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day–even the day he had a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. His mother was worried, so she went to look for him after school. She found him running all alone. The sweat ran down his face. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. His parents never told him he couldn’t run four miles with a high fever. So he didn’t know.Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were posted. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. His parents never told him he shouldn’t expect to make the team. They never told him he couldn’t do it. So he didn’t know. He just did it.25. What can we know about Joey as a child?A. He couldn’t walk normally at 8.B. He admired other kids for running.C. The born disability made him anxious.D. He received much medical treatment.26. What’s Joey’s mother’s attitude to his training for the team?A. Sympathetic and anxious.B. Optimistic and encouraging.C. Disapproving with much self-blame.D. Supportive with little expectation.27. Why didn’t Joey’s parents tell him the truth?A. To avoid setting limits to his potential.B. For fear he couldn’t make the team.C. To encoura ge him to run like other kids.D. In case he would be looked down upon.28. The reason why the author repeats“So he didn’t know.”is____________A. to draw a conclusion.B. to show the author’s emotion.C. to help the story develop.D. to arouse readers’ interest.CThe NutcrackerTime: May 5Place: Wuhan TheaterEnjoy a fairy tale coming to life with this amazing production, presented by the famous Russian State Ballet.

Perhaps, some parents disagree with this idea, saying, "Switch off the music and concentrate!" Well, if that's the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning. The participants completed these tasks while li stening to music or no music at all.The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work. David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International, told The Telegraph, "Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state...theyare going to become more positive about the work."However, you may have a list of your favorite songs, but not all kinds of music match all homework. For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you are reviewing your English writing, pop music is the best choice, as it is the best kind for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14%, compared to listening to no music.
