In the spring of 2020, like the rest of the world, I spent a lot of time staring at a screen and that was when I first got into the world. I discovered that onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one r I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else shared poetry from Robert Frost, wise sayings from Confucius, and a smattering (一知半解) of other philosophical viewpoints, all of which helped me through some dark days. Down the rabbit hole I went, scrolling for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.As the months rolled by, turned my attention away from the hard reality of what was going on in the world. I subscribed to several channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I watched people reading poetry or painting by streams or looking out windows into snowy landscapes.I found all this calming. Such lovely scenery, such beautiful background music, and such pretty clothes they were wearing!At some point though, I got upset by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who is filming them? I wondered. Do they rehearse or just act on the spot? Isn’t it cold, stepping through snow banks in dresses? The questions kept bothering me while forcing comparisons to my own somewhat more ordinary existence. I wanted to walk in a flowing dress through hilly green field filled with wildflowers! Instead, I was marching through my neighborhood’s city streets in mom jeans.In a moment of insight, I realized that I had a full and happy life, which although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen, suited me perfectly. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while. can be a rich source of entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure.

CPhotosynthesis (光合作用) is a unique skill of green plants-they turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and food via sunlight. A group of Chinese scientists, however, "copied" the process on animals.To understand the new breakthrough, it is important to know how photosynthesis works. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose (葡萄糖) .The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air and stores energy within the glucose molecules. In the study, the researchers from Zhejiang University developed an independent and controllable photosynthetic system, according to the study published in Nature in early December, 2022.They separated thylakoids(类囊体), a part of the cell where light reactions take place in plants, from young spinach (菠菜) leaves. The scientists then wrapped the thylakoids with the cover of animal cells, which made the implanted thylakoids more acceptable to foreign bodies. The mice used in the study were suffering from arthritis (关节炎) meaning cells in their cartilage had degenerated and could not be repaired by themselves. With the thylakoids implanted into the mice and exposed to light, the mice recovered. Their metabolism (新陈代谢) returned to normal.In arthritis, the patients usually have energy loss since fewer energy-carrying molecules are generated. The implant, however, can correct the imbalance by storing more energy via photosynthesis.The researchers also claimed that their tests would have medical usage. It can be used as part of solution for degenerative diseases because the natural photosynthesis system my repair cells. It may also delay the aging process in cells.The study showed an exciting achievement that opens up possibilities of metabolism engineering" commented one of the paper's reviewers Francisco Cejudo from the University of Seville in in, reported Xinhua.8. What is mainly mentioned in paragraph 2?A. The theory behind the experiment.B. The background of the experiment.C. The procedures of the experiment.D. The effects of the experiment.9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. A group of Chinese scientists copied the photosynthesis of animals on plants.B. The place in which the plant stores energy is thylakoids.C. The thylakoids wrapped by animal cells make itself accepted with ease by foreign bodies.D. This therapy has been used as part of the solution for degenerative diseases.10. What is the attitude of a commentator towards the existing studies about the study?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Uncertain.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Effective Photosynthesis.B. Breakthroughs made by a group of Chinese scientists.C. Chinese scientists who copied Photosynthesis on animals.D. Chinese scientists copied Photosynthesis on animals.DGiven how valuable intelligence and automation are, we will continue to improve our technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin to improve themselves. The concern is really that we will build machines that are much more competent than we are. And the slightestdivergence between their goals and our own could destroy us.Just think about how we relate to ants. We don’t hate them. We don’t go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, we will kill them without hesitation. The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether they’re conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines. We have problems that we desperately need to solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of the station, and there’s no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely develop in ways that we can’t imagine, and transcend us in ways that we can’t imagine.So imagine we hit upon a design of super intelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This machine would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build then machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw materials. So we’re talking about the end of human labor. We’re also talking about the end of most intellectual work. So what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, we have to admit that we are in the process of building some sort of god. Now would be a good time to make sure it’s a god we can live with.12. Why does the author mention ants in Paragraph 2?A. To compare intelligent machines to ants.B. To show improved machines will get away from us.C. To stress the presence of machines does conflict with our goals.D. To explain future intelligent machines could treat us without mercy13. What does the underlined word “transcend” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. DisableB. InspireC. DisappointD. Outpace14. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving assumptions.C. By showing valid evidence.D. By analyzing statistics.15. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author’s viewpoint towards AI?A. Human beings will no doubt be destroyed by AI in the future.B. Super intelligent AI will put an end to human labor eventually.C. We should keep the development of AI within human’s control.D. Human beings should stop the development of super intelligent AI.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

But this small yet effective phrase gives a strong message. There will always be something that interrupts or causes inconvenience in the journey to achieve the dreams. But鲤should no t drive one away from the path that they are on. Fitting the context perfectly is the story of Ian Wilham.Popularly known as the "Social Golfer", Ian William is an accountant, lecturer, author, and a former golf player. He dreamed of pla加g golf at childhood. He would often observe players playing from a distance. He worked hard and changed his financial 1血itations.Then he began practicing in various golf皿tches.Due to his devotion and love for the sport, he picked up the techniques quickly and soon began playing as a profe ssional. He also dreamed of partie ipating in the Senior Golf Tour in the coming year.However, in 1996, Ian was diagnosed with a tumor (肿瘤)in the left part of his brain, which affected his hearing from the right side and damaged his balance nerve. He underwent two surgeries in 1997 with a smile叩d a hope to be cured. Although the surgeries were successful, Jan caught meningitis (脑脱炎)while recovering from it Apart from being hopeful and optimistic, there was no other way Ian could cope with the situationJust as things had begun to normalize, in 2006, Jan's body was affected by a major stroke (中风)This stroke numbed the left side of his body.

Luck favors ready minds.cFor many Chinese consume rs, a satisfying breakfast is o ne that includes either hot po nidgc (粥)or steamed buns (t. 员头). Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with w.;.tcmers, arc prob北ly one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for brca哗L For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast scts that combine clements from the East and the West, food companics have bccn rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customers. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store nlso sells、-arious types of coffee.According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Co Ltd. the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun p止过with black coffee. "The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calorics and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered h ealthy and delic ious," said Shen.Even the smaller shoppers in the·food scene邱jump ing on the氐st-West b心订ast trend. Western food establish ments, too, ha ve been rolling ou t Chinese b心还st options.''Cons umers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition.

Coffee is a must for many people.9. Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well?A. Because it's newly launched.B. Beeausc it contains more vegetables.C. Because it's traditional.D. Because it's tasty and healthy.10. What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph?A. The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.B. Only big companies have the ability to seize the market share.C. Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.D. Some traditional foods might disappear without the combination trend.11. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.B. Wcstem breakfast is warmly welcomed by Shanghai people.C. The Chinese-Western breakfast set is beeomin g a hit in ShanghaiD. Shanghai Qiao Coff ee has won great sucees s for its breakfast sets droughts and heatwaves means a loss of crop production and one and a half acres of forest 1s cut down every second.Of course, just beca use young people a re now readily armed with statistics such as the se doesn't mean all adults will eagerly listen to them. Many write off young activists simply due to their age, and others still aren't willing to see the environmental challenges we face, but that doesn't mean a difference can't be madeA study on partieipants aged 16-24 in the UN climate negotiati ons revealed that adults perceived younger activists as being more trustworthy due to the lack of f inancial incenti心(刺激)to be there. Young activists often have an independent view of what's going on and, being free from politics, they often say what adults aren't willing to.So, it seems achieving a carbon neutral world in the future might depend on young determined voices inspiring experienced adults who can make a difference.DIn 2019, more tha n 1.4 million young people around th e globe took part in the School Stri kes for Climate Action protests that wer e largely advoca ted by 17-ycar-old Swe dish activist Gre ta Thunberg.

Please send me a letter in response.”Director Mayeda replied two weeks later. The department does in fact license unicorns, she said, under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorn's horn at least once a month with a soft cloth,feeding it watermelon at least once a week,covering it with only nontoxic(无毒的)and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams and rainbows. And, because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation.“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requir ements of providing a loving home for animals,” Mayeda wrote in the letter. “I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”Mayeda told the Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn --or any mythical(神话的)creature. They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that. She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death” issues on the job, whether that's seeing cases of animal abuse or animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals. So Madeline's letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application. Safe to say, she's in for a magical surprise.4.Why did Madeline write the letter?A. To apply to visit a unicorn.B.To learn to provide animal care.C.To ask permission to keep a pet.D.To figure out how to find a unicorn.5.What can we learn from paragraph 3?A. Her application was disapproved.B. Requirements should be met for the license.C. She was presented with a live unicorn.D. Guidance was given for her search.6.Which of the following best describes Mayeda?A. Imaginative.C.Flexible.D.Convincing.7.Why does the department think the letter “has brightened their spirits”?A. Because it is the first application letter for a pet.B.Because animal protection is a life-and-death issue.C.Because they are worn out with their daily work.D.Because they are touched with the girl's deeds.CImagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a supermarket box, meaning it was probably harvested when it was still unripe. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the vine(藤)for two weeks. The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages: they are convenient and still available even in winter months. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing music in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old CD player. The home-grown fruit is an eatable case for making a home garden.Your columnist, who long considered gardening a complete waste of time, advances this argument with great enthusiasm. Planting cool-weather greens, as gardeners across the north-east of America are now doing, can seem nonsense, since convenient, continuously well-stocked supermarket shelves are available all week. But the same could be said of cooking: there are many cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals?That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of gardening: it mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can produce tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness, and celtuce(芹莴)and herbs that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they are usually packaged in. While finding, let's say, celtuce in the shops can take some time, effort, and expense, growing your own vegetables ensures a reliable supply.On the other hand, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration. Green hands may plant the wrong crops for their soil. And even expert gardeners can lose a season's harvest to uncooperative weather.No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure-as with cooking. Writing or almost anything worthwhile - is in the work itself. To garden is to patiently, lovingly and diligently help life become strong and healthy, in the ground and above it.8.What can we know about the supermarket strawberries?A.They look distinct from home-grown ones.B.They give out pleasant and fresh smell.C.They are picked days before fully grown.D.They are planted typically in winter.9.What does the underlined word “misconstrues" mean in paragraph 4?A.Misinterprets.B.Transforms.C. Mistrusts.10.Why does the author mention the failures in gardening?A. To warn readers not to take up gardening easily.B.To advise readers to work in harmony with nature.C.To make readers reflect on the methods of gardening.D.To help readers have a whole picture of gardening.11.What is the author's opinion on gardening?A.It's a difficult and time-consuming process.B.Products of gardening make it worthwhile.C.The time and efforts invested make it a delight.D.It reduces the cost of purchasing vegetables.DEveryone knows what makes a good story. Our hero starts their journey as a flawed(有缺陷的)being. In scene after scene, they face challenges that push them down new paths. By the end of the talc, they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process.We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than entertainment. Recent research shows that the narratives(叙述)we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress. People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health. Professor Dan McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health. Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.McAdams invited 14 and 15-year-olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success. Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better. Eight weeks later, members of this group reported greater persistence (坚持)and better grades in their schoolwork.Exciting as these results are, some experts sound a few notes of caution. They worry that, hearing about the power of self-narratives, many people may feel they have to find a positive turning point in life. If they can't, they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow “failed”.Clearly, self-narratives aren't the panacea. Nevertheless, if you hope for self-improvement, you can use the findings to good effect. By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles, we can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better.12.What does the research focus on?A.The causes of stress.B.The principles of narrative.C.The connection between struggle and well-being.D.The link between mental health and self-narratives.13.Why is the experiment mentioned in paragraph 3?C.To draw a conclusion.B.To make predictions.D.To make comparisons.14.What does the underlined word “panacea" in the last paragraph refer to?A.Attempt to get rid of worries.B.Means of recognizing yourself.C.Solution to adolescent problems.D.Guarantee to become better people.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Embrace Life Struggles C.Ways to Make a Good StoryB.Be Your Own HeroD.The Power of Self-improvement第二节(共5小题;每小题分,满分分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe vast Caspian Sea, though sometimes classed as a lake, is the largest landlocked body of water in the world. The gateway between Europe and Asia, it is bordered by Iran to the south, Azerbaijan and Ru ssia to the west and Turkmenistan to the east, while Kazakhsta’s Mangystau region lies to the northeast. Many visitors crowd to Caspian Sea every year to experience its beautyFISHINGFishing is a popular pastime and important industry throughout the waters of the Caspian Sea. From the shores of Mangystau in Kazakhstan, it is possible to rent fishing boats or join fishing tours to spend a day fishing on the water.SAILINGThe Caspian Sea is filled with boats, ferries and ships. It is a popular way to travel from other major port cities such as Baku in Azerbaijan to Aktau, or down the mighty Volga Canal. Meanwhile, on a smaller scale, boats can be rented from Aktau for a day on the water.WATERSPORTSThe beaches of Mangystau, lapped by the waters of the Caspian Sea, are the jumping off points for many popular water sports. In the summer months especially, visitors enjoy sunbathing and taking a refreshing dip, while more active holidaymakers can windsurf and parasail to their hearts’ delight.1. How many countries are there circling around the Caspian sea?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.2. What can you do if you want to fish on the Caspian Sea?A. Buy your own boat.B. Employ a local fisher.C. Rent a fishing boat.D. Buy fish on the boat.3. What will you do if you are an adventurous person?A. Go swimming.B. Go diving.C. Go sunbathing.D. Go windsurfing.BThe juries(陪审团) entered.I stood beside the lawyer and my brother, Jimmy. It reminded me of our childhood—as things often did—when we played the game “Simon Says”, we would react at the same time in harmony when hearing all kinds of orders, “Simon says jump, Simon says touch your toes”—it was almost the same. Almost. When we grew up, my brother had chosen a separate life, leaving me alone. I missed him a lot.Today, though, we were together, standing in court, waiting for the sentence.The guilty verdict(判决) was read. I sat down, but my brother cried, “No! I’m innocent.” And then he turned to me, yelling, “How can you do this to me, James! I finally can make a new life by myself.”“Stop this,” the judge yelled, “the juries have made the decision.”“But it’s not fair!” my brother replied, “I didn’t kill anyone.”I wished I could explain, but I said nothing because this is the only way we can be together again.The judge pulled his glasses from his face. “By law---”“The law is unjust,” my brother said.The judge wiped his eyes, and, to my surprise, said calmly. “Yes,” he nodded and set his glasses aside. “I agree wit h you about that. Law is meant to protect the innocent. And you certainly seem innocent. But how can I tell? You two are clones. Your faces, your fingerprints, even your DNA match exactly. That’s why when one is found guilty, all others...”The judge sighe d, replaced his glasses, and banged the hammer. “I sentence you both to twenty years.”Together, the court guard led us away. My brother’s head bowed in defeat, but I walked upright, for I would no longer be alone.4. How did James think of their childhood?A. He felt sorry for Jimmy.B. He had been in court before.C. He felt guilty about his past.D. He missed the good old days.5. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Two boys had nothing in common.B. The two brothers behaved alike.C.

The cloning of human being is forbidden.C. Cloned brothers are both guilty if one is guilty.D. Cloned brothers can live apart when growing up.7. What can be inferred from the text?A. James was innocent.B. Jimmy did kill someone.C. James knew nothing about the law.D. James took advantage of the law.CParents who want their kids to succeed more than anything are now being sold a high-tech solution. Class 120 is $199-a-year smartphone app that tracks teenagers and alerts parents if the kid isn’t in his or her scheduled class.Is it a good idea for parents to track whether their young adults are in class? In short: No. This is a terrible idea.One of the fundamental purposes of a college is learning to be an independent person. That means learning how to do what needs to be done, whether one particularly feels like doing it or not.It’s easy to see why parents are keen on tracking their kids. A student is admitted to college by a process that focuses mainly on grades and scores. Monitoring grades and scores is easy. The parents may think that:“Our child is succeeding. We are good parents. We are happy. ”But grades and scores can’t tell everything.They don’t take into account whether their kids have the strength of self-discipline (自律) andthe skill needed to care for himself or herself.Monitoring the development of character is much harder for parents. Character growth happens through encountering (遇到) and learning to deal with disappointments and failure. You never know which problem will be the point for growth.However, letting kids fail can be really difficult for anxious parents. They believe that success means being perfect and never failing. The truth is that kids need to learn to fail.College is an ideal place to practice adults’ responsibility and independence. Students need to make their own decisions about whether to get out of bed and go to work in the morning.Maybe your child hasn’t learned this lesson by now, but he or she has to learn it sometime. An alarm clock’s job is to wake you up, but it does not provide a reason.8. What’s author’s attitude toward tracking te enagers?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Indifferent.D. Disappointed.9. According to the author, w hat’s the most important thing should a college student learn in school?A. Avoiding failure.B. Keeping healthy.C. Professional knowledge.D. Living independently.10. What’s the author’s opinion on failure?A. Failure means that a kid is not good enough.B. Failure may be the key part of kid’s development.C. Everyone should manage to avoid failure at any time.D. Failure will bring many negative influences to children.11. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. An alarm clock is necessary for a kid.B. A kid should buy a talking alarm clock.C. A kid should get up early for learning without any reason.D. A kid should always maintain a sense of responsibility and independence.DDo you still remember the scene in the famous movie Titanic, directed by Cameron, where Jack was frozen to death in the icy cold water so that Rose could survive on the floating door alone? It broke many people’s heart.Two decades later, people are still asking the question, “wasn’t there enough room on the door for both of them?”Cameron once responded by saying it wasn’t a question of room, but buoyancy (浮力) —if both of them had tried to stay on the raft, he argued, the whole thing would sink.But several guys from “Mythbusters”, an Australian-American science entertainment television program, decided to test the theory themselves. They discovered that if Rose had took off her lifejacket to the bottom of the raft, there would have been enough buoyancy to keep both of them afloat.When they presented their findings to Cameron, the director insisted that Jack couldn’t be saved.“The answer is very simple,”Cameron said. “Because it says on page 147 of the script that Jack dies. To Cameron, it was an artistic choice to have the beloved character of millions, Jack drown into the cold sea. Jack had to die because Cameron thought it would be best if we did.“It was an artistic choice, the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him,” Cameron said. “I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die. The film is about death and separation; he had to die.”Since Jack was doomed to die, Cameron said, it could have happened in a variety of different ways. It’s not about the door not being big enough: that’s just a practical method for his death. “Whether it was that, or whether a chimney fell on him, he was going down,” Cameron said. “It’s called art: things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons.”12. What do we know about the character Jack according to the text?A. He intended to kill himself.B. He sacrificed himself to save Rose.C. He didn’t have money to buy ticket.D. He lacked basic knowledge of physics.13. According to Cameron, why did the audience argue about Jack’s death for 20 years?A. They are fragile people.B. They don’t like the movie.C. They love the character Jack.D. They are crazy about physics.14. Why was a chimney mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To introduce the structure of the ship.B. To show the original plan of the movie.C. To present the missing part of the movie.D. To explain the unchangeable fate of Jack.15. What is best title of the text?A. Jack in Titanic Must Die.B. Big Enough for Both.C. Cameron is Wrong.D. Jack could Survive.其次节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Monet: The lmmersive(沉浸式)Ex匹rienceMonet: The lmmersive E>.perience in Liege invites you to step into the world of the French painter Claude Monet, one of the greatest artistic geniuses of the nineteenth century!Explore some of the most breathtaking paintings by Claude Monet with the help of a digital 360-degree presentation. The unique exh伽tion concept is staged with state-of-the-art multimedia technology, which shows very large images of Monet's paintings on the walls and floors of the build.ing. It has music, the smell of t1owers, and voice-over in several languages to m吐e the paintings come alive in a way never seen before.To fully get into the world of the French painter, visitors are guided through three experience rooms.

She was recognized for her effo邓to make music accessible to all students, particularly those withdisab邮es.Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and bring home a $10,000 p rize.Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 c aregiver s a year to play the same insn·ument as their child. Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second life in her classroom.The orchestra is about much more than just making music. The most important is to give students a chance to develop their cooperation skills, make mistakes and learn the art of refining something. Ray pushes her students to be brave, go outside their comfort zone and realize they have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds. And they teach her a lot in return. "They changed my educational philosophy. I unde几tand what it tmly means to meet a student where they're at and apply that elsewhere," she said.The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful. Actually, not many people understand what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters. While her administration is supportive, that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general. Another is resources. She says her school "desperately" needs new instruments. She will use some of her prize money to buy moreRay also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate. She knows of several, those particularly interested in music, and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams. "It is hard but truly satisfying," Ray said. "And there's nothing else like it for them."4.What can we learn about Ray from the first two paragraphs?A.She hosted the award ceremony.C.She gave away instruments to the poor.5. What do students benefit most from the orchestra?A. They acquire in-depth musical knowledge.C.They gain personal growth from playing music.6.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about?A. The reception on the ceremony.C.Challenges for music educators.B.She brought music to more people.D. She founded a local charity for children.B.They make friends with the like-minded.D.They improve their connections with educators.B.Importance of music education.D. Plans to obtai11 resources.7.What does Ray find satisfying according 10 the last paragraph?A. Winning a scholarship.B.Developing interest in music.C.Making musical achievements.D.Transforming dreams into reality.CAn ancient Latin proverb says "Aquila non capit musc,IS"-cagles don't hunt flies—meaning that important ones shouldn't concern themselves with small, insignificant matters. But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seem气ingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles The story start s with the acacia trees(金合欢树)in an African wildlife area in central Kenya. Some of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific an t species, which in turn defend the tree against herbivores(食草动物)The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores tl1at attempt to feed on the tree's leaves. This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivor环but also release chemicals that can竿other potential attackers.But these ants are in trouble. Another species called the "big-headed" a n t is destroying entire groups oftree-protecting ants. This, in turn, sets off an entire chain of events如t ends up influencing when and how lions can hunt.This ant invasion(入侵)affects one thing after the other. It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores especia.lly elephants. The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas. The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hidi11g. This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in.叮hese tiny invaders are pulling on the ties tlrnt put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten andwhere," said Todd Palmer, an ecologist from Florida.The lions, which are already endangered, are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras. The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover. instead, they are targeting water buffalo. But this also isn't the end of the story. Who knows what the lions'changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line?8.What does the underlined word“华监''in paragraph 2mean?A. Direct.B. Discourage.9.What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction?A. Cooperating with "big-headed" ants.C.Protecting the acacias from herbivores.C.ldentjfy.D.Seek.B. Damaging the h心ng place for lions. D.Starting off the disturbance of the chain.JO. The author mentions lions, zebras and water buffalo to show that.A. animals fall victim to bigger onesC.animals are corelated in the ecosystem11.What is the text mainly about?A.What ecologists find about animals. C.How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt.B.the ecology is on the road to recoveryD. species are firmly positioned in the food chainB.Why African lions are endangered.D.How the law of the jungle works in Africa.DAt a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: "Assume you are wrong." The advice came from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor. He wasn't objecting to any particular claim I'd made—he was offering a strategy for pur以uing better science, and for encouraging othe几to do the sameTo under沁tand the context for Nosek's advice, we need to take a step back—to the nature of science itself.Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theorieschange, so do scientific methods.Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientificwork requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as persona.I attacks, and for scientific arguments todevelop into personal battles. Beginning, instead, f r om the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to beviewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares.Nosek's advice may sound pessimistic, but it's not so foreign to science. Philosophers of science sometimes referto the "pessimistic meta-induction(元归纳)“on the history of science: AU of our past scientific theories have beenwrong, so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong, too. That doesn't mean we haven't made progress, butit does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong.I like the advice because it builds in an awirreness of our linutations and a readiness to accept the unknown("there are things I do not know!")along with a sense that we can do better("there are things I do not know yet!"). Italso builds in a sense of community一we're all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right Perhaps the focus on a shared goal-our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong-can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication.12.Why did Nosek send the advice?A.To express opinions about my claimsC.To encourage me to take up science.13.How does assuming you are wrong help?A. It motivates scientists to make efforts.C.It sets a constructive improvement goal.I 4. What does the author think of science theories?A. Dynamic.B.Testable.15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?B.To remind me to be open to criticism.D.To better my understanding of psychology.B.It addresses personal attacks and conflicts. D.It contributes to a deeper insight into you几elf.C.P i.i on ee r i n g e· D.Well-established.A.

AWhile other students were taking part in workshops or planning baths for their pets on a typical Thursday morning,I spent mine doing an internship(实习)at Western Massachusetts Labor Action,a non-profit organization that helps low-income members of society.Upon arriving there,I didn’t know what to expect.Do people just come in and ask for food? Is there more paperwork or in-the-field action? This opportunity, however,helped me to answer my questions.One morning,while my partner and I were doing the office work,our supervisor(主管) called us into his office to listen to a conversation on the phone.On the other end of the line,a 65-year-old man living in a nearby town said desperately that their electricity company was shutting off his heat due to his debt issues.“You are my last hope.Otherwise,my family and I will have a very hard time surviving the cold winter,”the man said,his voice losing contro1.Hearing this terrible news,my supervisor frowned,but told him,“Don’t worry.I’11 do everything I can to help you.”Then he quickly called the electricity company.After a long negotiation,my supervisor managed to give the 65-year-old man a debt repayment(偿付)system,which meant that he could pay off his debt a little bit per month.He was calling to tell the man the good news when the man suddenly shouted that he was having a heart attack.My partner and I just looked at each other and kept silent.After seconds that felt like hours,the man told us that it was a false alarm and that he was all right.I was amazed at this man and his family’s situation,but was even more impressed that my supervisor had saved them from a hardship like a whole winter without heat.My supervisor was a superhero! From that moment on,I have had great respect for all forms of community service and felt thankful that I could be a part of it-giving back what I have to the community and helping others achieve happiness.21.The 65-year-old man was most worried that______.A.he couldn’t pay off his debtsB.he and his family couldn’t live through the winterC.his heat would be shut off by the electricity companyD.he suffered from a serious heart attack22.How do you understand the sentence“my supervisor frowned”in the 4th paragraph? A.My supervisor thought it an easy thing.B.My supervisor thought it an interesting thing.C.My supervisor thought it a difficult thing.D.My supervisor thought it a strange thing.23.How did the supervisor help the old man?A.He offered to pay off the old man’s debts.B.He managed to get the old man to pay off his debts a little per month.C.He helped to find a cure for the old man’s heart attack.D.He thought of sweet words to comfort the old man.24.From his internship experience,the author learns to know how to_________.A.be a good supervisor B.get along well with his supervisorC.help the elderly people D.give back and help others get happinessBWhen was the last time you wrote a letter? If your answer is“not recently”,you can count yourself among the many teenagers who don’t often write letters.A recent survey of 1,000 teenagers around the world done by the French stationery(文具) company BIC found that a third of today’s teenagers had never written a letter,half had not written a thank-you letter, around 83 percent had never written a love letter, and a quarter had not even written a birthday or Christmas card.In fact,58 percent of teenagers complained that handwriting was“too slow”and 17 percent believed it was“outdated”.These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day die out,even though many people still think it is a key skill.“Handwriting is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same importance as other art forms such as sketching(素描),painting,or photography,”Jonathan Skyrme,general manager of BIC UK &Ireland,told the Daily Mail.The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter sends a message in a way that on line messages can never do.“When you get an e—mail,you can never be sure that you are the only person to have received it—or even that it was written by the person who sent it,”said the newspaper.As US author Simon Garfield once wrote,“E-mails are a poke(蜻蜒点水),but letters are a loving touch.”So imagine the powerful message you would send if you actually wrote out your thoughts for another person by hand,bought a stamp,took your note to a mailbox and waited days for your special someone to receive it.Their smile at your thoughtfulness would say it a11.25.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.300 teenagers of today’s had never written a letter.B.250 teenagers of today’s had not even written a birthday or Christmas card.C.Most teenagers hadn’t written a love letter.D.Over half teenagers thought handwriting was out of date.26.The New York Times and the author Simon Garfield may both agree that_______.A.1etters and E-mails have their own advantagesB.1etters are better than E-mailsC.1etters and E-mails send a message in the same wayD.when getting a letter or an E-mail,you’re the only person to receive it27.Which is true according to the last paragraph?A.It’s a waste of time to write a letter.B.People would be glad to receive a letter.C.It is ridiculous to post a letter.D.It’s boring to wait for a letter.CMarie Kondo is an expert on organizing and cleaning.She is considered all expert on clearing away unused or unnecessary things,better known as clutter.Actually,she did write a book on the issue,which is called“The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”.Her book is a best-seller around the world.It has sold more than 2 million copies.Marie Kondo says people can improve their lives by changing the way they think about all their stuff—everything from books,documents and photographs to clothing and personal mementoes.“Her book is a best-seller around the world”And this is pretty good.”Ms.Kondo writes.This is not the first time an organizing expert has written a book on clutter.Other books suggest wonderful things will happen when you organize your home.One book says that if you throw out 50 things from your home,you will actually find your life.Another book says that if you make clutter disappear,you will also lose weight.And still others promise a better job,more money and a perfect family if you simply organize the things that fin your life.Marie Kondo makes some of the same claims.She told the Business Insider website that some of her clients have lost weight.“Your self-perception is improved by living in a clean and neat room,”she said.“This can change lifestyles and,in turn,appearances.”Marie Kondo teaches a method of organizing she calls KonMari.It is more of an event or ceremony.This is the part that followers say makes it more lasting.Ms.Kondo says KonMari creates a different relationship between you and your possessions.If the object meant something to you or served you well,you thank it for its service before throwing or giving it away.In her book,Ms.Kondo suggests that you touch the item and ask one simple question:“Does it bring me joy?”If it doesn’t,you give it away so that it may give joy to someone else.28.What does the word“clutter”in the first paragraph refer to?A.expert on organizing and cleaning B.unused or unnecessary thingsC.Marie Kondo D.the best-seller29.

The Great Gasby, Lord of the Flies.The Catcher in the Rye and of Of Mice and Men probably flood your memory.The authors of these books have something in common:They were all white men.The truth is,many reading lists are short on female and minority authors.And some argue that teaching the literary canon(文学经典)to students who no longer find relevance(相关性) in the issues presented will fail to interest teens and ultimately rum them away from reading.“When we think about summer reading books or adding a new book to a course,we’re often looking for women or people of color,”said Scott Campbell,an English teacher at New Trier High School,who admired there’s a gap in the curriculum where minority writers should be.“Women a hundred or so years ago were not encouraged or expected that they might write,this is just one of the after-effects of male domination”,Campbell explained.“I think book lists in schools are sexist(性别歧视的),but I don’t think it’s the schools’fault,”said Jones from a high schoo1.“I think it’s because we still think good literature is only written by white males,which simply isn’t true. I do see,though,that teachers are trying to change mat.”Teachers at Hancock High School are doing the similar job.Hancock curricula include books and concepts teachers believe to be more culturally relevant to their students.Hancock junior Sandra Rodriguez said she likes her school’s selections that have replaced some to the traditional high school reads.32.Why does the writer mention some books in the first paragraph?A.To show these books arc mostly written by white men.B.To advise students to read these books.C.T0 comment on the authors.D.To show these books are classic.33.Why does Scott Campbell choose books written by women or people of color?
