Throughout life, we come across many people who impact us in a way. The person who left a great impact on me is my dad.Three months after turning fourteen, my life was great. I was getting settled into a high school; my grades were already starting off greatly and I was making friends. One day as I came home from school, I walked into our living room, finding my mom and dad talking. My parents turned to me and told me to sit down because there was something important they had to tell me. I soon found out that my dad’s liver (肝脏) was failing and he needed an immediate transplant. I was shocked and confused. He was working and never looked sick. My parents told me not to worry because everything would be fine. Four months had passed and my dad still had not received a new liver; he was progressively getting worse. His body seemed to be getting weaker, but he constantly said he was fine.It was getting hard for my family and me. My dad had to quit his job leaving my mom to be the only provider. I had to take on the responsibility of cleaning the house, cooking meals and checking on my dad while my mom was at work. I had to cut back on hanging with my friends because my dad was beginning to go in and out of the hospital. My focus for school was starting to slip. So were my grades. Two nights before my school spring break, my mom received a call from the hospital that my dad had been in a car accident and that he was in hospital. Surprisingly, my dad hadn’t received a scratch on him. Then next night my mom received a call from the doctor stating that there was a liver that matched my dad’s body and that he needed to get to the hospital immediately.Para. 1My mom and I rushed to the hospital and my dad was brought into surgery._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________Pare. 2Having to take on so many responsibility at home and constantly worn about my dad has helped shaped me into the person I am today._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________河北省邢台市2020-2021学年高一下学期期末英语试题47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina in the trash (垃圾) 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods and seeing books abandoned by the rich. It ignited his desire to start rescuing books from the trash. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.In Colombia’s capital city of Bogota, libraries tend to be far away from poorer communities. The option of buying new books is non-existent for poor families and having access to a library of books is a luxury. Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him.Today, his community library, “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of over 20,000 books!The Strength of Words library is open every weekend, and children in Gutierrez’s neighbourhood are allowed to look through the book collection. Adults are also welcome to expand their vision and develop new skills for a better life.Today, the Gutierrez family doesn’t merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create more safe spaces for school children to spend their time reading. This is important for kids living in Bogota where many young people waste time in the streets.Gutierrez’s journey to give treasure back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us by identifying needs, investing time and finding a simple solution. How might we take a leaf out of Guti errez’s book?1. What does the underlined word “ignited” mean in paragraph 1?A．Satisfied. B．Ignored. C．Excited. D．Expressed.2. What do we know about Gutierrez’s library?A．It aims to recycle and reuse the garbage.B．It is sponsored by wealthier communities.C．It is in the charge of his passionate mother.D．It makes knowledge accessible to poor kids.3. What message does the last sentence convey?A．We should value Gutierrez’s spirit of paying back.B．We can follow Gutierrez’s example to help others.C．We should go to visit Gutierrez’s library personally.D．We can donate deserted books to Gutierrez’s library.4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．From Trash to Treasure B．The Books of GutierrezC．From Home to Community D．The Strength of Reading3. Famous Israeli gastronome (美食家) Michal Ansky is a professional taster and a Master Chef judge. So when she was invited to the world’s first public blind taste test setting lab-grown chicken into competition against a conventionally raised product, she was confident that she would be able to tell the difference.Surrounded by cameras at a restaurant bar, she tasted from two dishes, labeled A and B. A team of lawyers looked on, tasked with making sure that the tasting truly was blind. Even the chef whosautéed (嫩煎) the meat in sunflower oil—no salt, no seasonings—didn’t know which was which. Both were flavorless, Ansky noted, but she would bet her reputation that sample A was the real thing. It had a richer, more “chickeny” taste.The tasting was hosted by a meat-tech startup SuperMeat at its in-house restaurant, The Chicken. Ever since 2013, when the first lab-grown hamburger was presented to the public with a $330,000 price tag, alternative-meat companies have been inching closer to a product that is just as tasty and nearly as affordable as the real thing, but without the climate impacts. One new study found high-income countries could cut agricultural emissions (排放物) by almost two-thirds by moving away from animal-based foods.But one question remains: Would consumers be able to tell the difference? SuperMeat decided to put its product to the test without the deep frying and sauces that are usually used to mask a lack of flavor. Sample B had less flavor, so Ansky reasoned that it had to be the one grown in a lab. She was so convinced of her decision that when SuperMeat founder Ido Savir announced that it was in fact A that was lab-grown, she corrected him. “No,” she said. “A is the real chicken.”A day later, I spoke to Ansky about the tasting. “It’s one of the only times in my life that I’m really happy that I was wrong,” she admitted.1. What do we know about the taste test?A．It was hosted by a chicken-themed restaurant.B．Food samples were made with different flavors.C．Michal Ansky was invited to the test for her reputation.D．Lawyers were involved to ensure the authority of the activity.2. The purpose of hosting the taste test is to prove that ________.A．lab-grown chicken tastes as good as raised chickenB．meat eaters turn a blind eye to the taste of chickenC．even a world-famous gastronome can make mistakesD．chicken should be cooked well to appeal to customers3. What is the biggest advantage of lab-grown chicken?A．More chickeny taste.B．More affordable price.C．Less artificial flavor.D．Less carbon footprint.4. Why did Ansky say that she was happy that she was wrong?A．She wanted to ease her embarrassment.B．She saw a milestone in the food industry.C．She changed people’s opinion of her job.D．She believed in the power of making mistakes.4. The term “social distancing” has been at the center of public conversation for a while. But it’s not “social” distance we are trying to promote. It’s physical separation. In fact, preserving social ties —even at a distance — is essential for both mental and physical health. The results of an analytic review done in 2017 indicate that a lack of social support is on a par with smoking cigarettes as a risk factor for health.Given this fact, how might we best stay connected to others while maintaining physical distance? Would we be better off e-mailing a friend? Making a phone call? Setting up a video chat? In our study, Nick Epley and I tested whether the media through which people interact affects their sense of connection — and how expectations about certain technologies impact the communication media they choose to use.In our experiment, we asked participants to reconnect with someone that they hadn’t interacted with recently, either through e-mail or over the phone. Participants first made predictions about what it would be like to get in touch if they reached out in these two ways. They generally believed that they’d feel more connected when interacting via the phone than over e-mail. But they also predicted that talking on the phone could be more uncomfortable than sending an e-mail. Although these participants believed that talking encouraged stronger bonds, most of them said they’d rather send an e-mail than call the person up. Fears about awkwardness, it seems, push individuals toward text-based methods for communicating.In the next part of the experiment, we had participants actually reconnect using one randomly determined mode of communication and then followed up with them after they had done so. We found that people do form meaningfully stronger bonds when interacting over the phone than over e-mail. Importantly, though, there was no difference in the amount of discomfort when reconnecting on the phone.The next time you think about how best to connect, consider calling or setting up a video chat. Feelings of social connection are preferably facilitated by voice rather than a keyboard.1. How does the author support his view on the importance of maintaining social ties?A．By stating a deep-rooted tradition. B．By citing a published report.C．By sharing public opinions. D．By presenting official documents.2. What did the author and Epley’s study focus on?A．How technologies impact means of communication.B．How social media choices affect feelings of connection.C．Why maintaining social separation is bad for mental health.D．Why reconnecting with friends over the phone brings awkwardness.3. What can we infer from the study results?A．They changed the research objectives. B．They provided insights for future studies.C．They confirmed researchers’ expectations.D．They contradicted participants’predictions partly.4. What can be concluded from the text?A．For stronger bonds, talk instead of typing.B．Keeping in touch is key to a lasting friendship.C．Think before you consider contacting an old friend.D．Text-based methods for communication cause discomfort.5. Experts are always advocating the health benefits of biking. And while the barrier to entry is low-pretty much all you need to know to start cycling is how to ride a bike itself—people often ask me if I have any tips for beginner bikers.Below, a few things I’ve learned along the way that help make for a safer and more joyful ride:Follow the rules of the road. Brake at yellow lights, stop for pedestrians and maintain a solid distance from cars. 1 Therefore, never fly through stop signs, approach too close to the front vehicles or shout at cars.2 A British doctor recently made headlines when he claimed that wearing a bike helmet is actually more dangerous than traveling without one, but most research suggests otherwise. A full 98 percent of bike commuters (上下班族) own a helmet, so you’ll be in good company, anyway.Make a playlist. Laws against riding with headphones vary from state to state, and it’s never proper to listen to music in more than one ear. But cruising around to a soundtrack can be an amazing feeling, so consider buying a wireless speaker you can fix on your frame. 3Know your rights. If you do end up getting into a collision (碰撞), stay on the scene until the police come. 4 Cyclists are too often taken advantage of in bad situations, especially if their injuries don’t seem to be apparent.Find some friends. As great as it can be to bike alone, zipping down the street in a big group is an equally satisfying experience. 5 Various bicycle trips are often organized, which provides opportunities to develop friendship among bikers.6. A few years back a group of young teachers from another school was spending a day in my class. They were energetic, bright and _______. However, I noticed a key _______in their approach to teaching. Their desire to help kids was so strong that they never allowed the students to get the wrong answer or take a _______.We were building _______that week. My students were working in groups of four. Each group was _______a small Viking model rocket, instructions, and the materials with which to put it _______. The challenge for each team was to precisely measure, _______, and assemble their project. One group was trying hard but making mistakes in the placement of missile sections. Several of the teachers _______going over to the kids to show them how to build the rocket _______. On a number of occasions I had to politely but firmly ask them to leave the kids alone.It’s important to remember that we ________individually define the word failure. In my class, a rocket that doesn’t fly is not a failure. Failure ________only when students stop trying to solve a problem. It may he solved in five minutes, or it may take two months, as was the case where my students built an enormous roller coaster and could not create a loop with enough centripetal force to allow the cars to move along the track safely. ________those two months of failed trials were some of the most fascinating and exciting times the kids had in science that year. And when the roller coaster finally ________, the kids could say they did it themselves. They ________the physics of the roller coaster. I did the best teaching during those two months when I decided to ________and leave the kids alone.1.A．curious B．cute C．caring D．encouraging 2.A．role B．reason C．goal D．mistake 3.A．fall B．break C．guess D．tour4.A．cars B．roller coasters C．rockets D．tracks5.A．showed B．given C．called D．awarded 6.A．together B．down C．back D．aside7.A．present B．plan C．buy D．read8.A．avoided B．forbade C．suggested D．kept9.A．quickly B．firmly C．correctly D．politely 10.A．students B．parents C．friends D．teachers 11.A．continues B．happens C．stops D．matters 12.A．Thus B．Now C．Then D．But13.A．broke B．appeared C．worked D．opened 14.A．taught B．understood C．created D．changed 15.A．shut up B．come up C．get up D．keep up7. 阅读下面材料，在空白处填写1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

河北省石家庄市二中教育集团2022-2023学年高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试题

河北省石家庄市二中教育集团2022-2023学年高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解We are Dr. David and Shannon Biegel, founders of the popular vacation website (established 2008). We’d like to briefly introduce the following parks to you.Glacier (冰川) National Park is unquestionably one of the most beautiful places on this planet. It is home to hundreds of glacier-carved peaks, over 600 lakes, hundreds of rivers waterfalls and streams, and over 730 miles of maintained hiking trails. Glacier National Park is known as “The Crown of the Continent” and the “American Alps” for a good reason—this place is so beautiful that words cannot begin to describe it.Yellowstone National Park is one of the most amazing places on the planet and is indeed one of America’s most famous symbols. Created in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first national park. It is even older than Tongariro National Park. And Yellowstone Park was created 4 years before Custer’s Last Stand at the Battle of the Little Bighorn! This magical wonderland is one of America’s most valued treasures.Grand Teton National Park is home-to-one of the most famous mountain ranges on Earth. The Teton Range is not only a mountain climber’s paradise (天堂), but it is also so beautiful that you’ll find that you’ve walked right into a beautiful post card! Grand Teton National Park is breathtaking, and it’s all yours to explore and discover. We absolutely love Grand Teton National Park and we’re really excited to share everything we know about it with you!Our passion for National Parks shines through in everything we do. Let our passion for these parks, as well as our knowledge, help you plan the trip of a lifetime. You have one chance to plan your vacation right. We will show you exactly where to go, what to do, where to see animals and where to stay. Call us at 406-404-0222 and let’s start planning your trip today!1．What do we know about the national parks in the text?A．Glacier National Park is the most beautiful park.B．Grand Teton National Park is printed on post cards.C．Yellowstone National Park is the oldest national park.D．Tongariro National Park is near Yellowstone National Park.2．Which national park is favored by mountain climbers?A．Glacier National Park B．Grand Teton National Park C．Tongariro National Park D．Yellowstone National Park3．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A book review B．A travel advertisementC．A news report D．A course planTammy Ruggles always wanted to be a photographer. In her First Person V ox narrative, she writes, “I’d always loved taking pictures. Ever since I was a little girl, taking photos of my family and pets with the Kodak camera has been my favorite hobby.”But like her driver’s license and social work career, Ruggles accepted that photography was something she would have to give up due to Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a progressive blinding disease that worsens the retinas (视网膜) over time. Ruggles is legally blind, only capable of making out unclear shapes. How could she practice an art form that is only dependent on vision, if she had none?That’s when Ruggles heard of point and-shoot digital cameras which didn’t necessitate a dark room, exact precision, or changing manual (手动) settings. Ruggles went to her backyard, pressing the shutter at shapes as an experiment. After transferring the images to black and white on her 47-inch monitor (she sees best in contrast), she noticed little things she had never seen even prior to losing her vision—blueberries in some brush, wild pumpkins at the edge of the woods, individual leaves on a tree. And with that her camera became her eyes, capturing things she herself couldn’t see and had never seen.Ruggles now considers her vision problem a plus to her photography. Unlike most photographers who visualize what they want their photo to look like, Ruggles approaches her art with zero preconceived (预想的) ideas about what she hopes to capture. With her loss of vision, Ruggles gained another pair of eyes—ones that can see the hidden beauty of the world around her.4．What do we know about Ruggles?A．She was born blind.B．She is fond of photography.C．She has got her driver’s license.D．She’s still taking pictures with the Kodak camera.5．Which of the following can best describe Ruggles?A．Brave and ambitious.B．Confident and optimistic. C．Generous and gifted.D．Helpful and sincere.6．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Ruggles will give up shooting due to her loss of vision.B．Ruggles imagines the photos in her mind before shooting.C．Ruggles views her vision issue as a strength to her photography.D．Ruggles has achieved great success because she can see the hidden beauty.7．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A．To call on people to protect eyes.B．To help people be a good photographer.C．To promote point-and-shoot digital camerasD．To praise the photographer’s bravery and perseverance.Yesterday, after a day of Zoom (视频会议软件) meetings in my living room, I stepped out for a walk leaving my teen son bored on the couch. Bleecker Street, usually packed with people, was sprinkled with only the occasional pedestrians. Bars and restaurants lining the street were dark. Stores with bright neon lights, doors open, beckoned for the rare passers-by to enter. After just a week of the Covid-19 pandemic, an afternoon walk in Greenwich Village neighborhood felt surreal.But then I noticed a row of daffodils(水仙)reaching for the sun in the smalltriangle-shaped park by Minetta Lane. On the windows of a locked restaurant, in bright yellow paint, were the words “We love you, West Village. Take care of each other. ” My phone buzzed—a colleague sent a picture of her newborn baby just home from the hospital. I arrived home to find my son animated on the couch playing a video game virtually with his friends. Life, love, play, and human connection persist, even though our world has been tuned upside down.In my welcome note to the new students in the Fall, I wrote that this year is about our college’s core values of inclusion, innovation, and impact and emphasized the power of interconnection. Today, these core values persist, with interconnection taking on even greatersignificance. Our collaborative spirit has always given us an advantage—academically, creatively, culturally, and now, remotely.A wise person once told me that getting through a crisis is like being given a new hand of cards in the middle of a game. We are halfway through the semester, with new hands to play, but the game hasn’t changed. We will find new ways to continue to work, teach, create and learn. Let’s also continue the informal interactions that make us a community—the study groups, coffee dates, drop-ins just to say hello. In doing so, we will remain connected.We will come together, from spaces around the world, to meet this new reality. This is who we are. Nothing—not space, nor time—can keep us from moving forward, together. 8．What can be inferred from paragraph 1?A．The Covid-19 pandemic is unstoppable.B．The effects of the pandemic could be easily felt.C．Nothing is the same except that the business goes slow as usual.D．People have every reason to be worried about the future.9．What does the writer include in paragraph 2?A．Daily routines that seemed insignificant.B．Reminders that the world has been changed.C．Events that people can do during the pandemic.D．Things or people that carry symbolic meanings.10．What does the underlined word “collaborative” mean in paragraph 3? A．Cooperative.B．Pioneering.C．Independent.D．Adventurous. 11．What is the main purpose of the text?A．To express wisdom gained from previous experience.B．To give people some tips on how to handle a crisis.C．To deliver an uplifting message over the pandemic.D．To encourage people to enjoy the great outdoors.The rise of the robots has raised the possibility of a future where there is simply less wok for humans to do. To tired office workers, a world where we all have a bit more leisure time sounds rather nice. Yet what really matters is how work will be distributed across the workforce.The recent past shows there is no reason to believe it will be evenly (均衡地) spread.The length of the average working week in the UK has declined steadily from about 59 hours in the mid-19th century to 32 hours in 2009. But averages hide a lot.While trends among women have been stable, there have been big shifts among men. Males in well-paid full-time employment are now working slightly longer hours on average than two decades ago. Meanwhile, men in full-time employment at the bottom of the wage ladder are working much less.On top of that, the number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased sharply. Twenty years ago, one in 20 men with low hourly wages worked part-time; today it is one in five. Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows this phenomenon is only happening among the low-paid. In better-paying jobs, part-time men are still fairly rare. Gender roles within families might tend to be similar too. Low-paid men may be choosing to shoulder more childcare responsibilities so their partners can return to work.Yet it is clear that the distribution of work will matter to people. Britain has both overemployment and underemployment problems: official data show 3.4m people in Britain want to work more hours while 3.2m want to work few hours for less pay. The underemployed are likely to be waiters or cleaners. The overemployed are most likely to be doctors or chief executives. This indicates an economy where demand and supply of skills are out of sync.Nobody knows for sure how the next wave of automation will shake up demand for different skills. Perhaps doctors will gain the free time they desire. Others might find themselves in greater demand. But short of us developing a much better system for training people quickly for the jobs economy needs, it seems likely that in the future—as now—there will be too much work for some, and too little for others.12．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?A．The development of robots will get rid of humans’ work.B．Future leisure time will be allocated evenly across the workforce.C．UK has taken some measures to stop the decline of working hours.D．The averages may not be the accurate indicators of the steady decline of working hours. 13．What can we learn from the analysis by Institute for Fiscal Studies?A．Low-paid men are to blame for the low employment.B．More well-paid men are choosing to work part-time.C．Part-time men have increased only among the low-paid.D．Part-time men rarely shoulder childcare responsibilities.14．What do the underlined words “out of sync” mean in paragraph 5?A．Important.B．Imbalanced.C．Undoubted.D．Harmful. 15．What is the text mainly about?A．The total amount of human labor will be decreased.B．Better training systems will be built across the world.C．Robots contribute to uneven distribution across the workforce.D．The number of low-paid men who work part-time has increased.二、七选五Whether they are furry, feathered or scaly (多鳞的), the non-human members of your family help you in more ways that you knōw. ____16____ .They keep you active. If you have a dog, chances are that you’re walking it at least30minutes a day, and likely more — an activity that goes a long way towards keeping you fit.They boost your immune system. Growing up indoors in disinfected spaces later causes our bodies to over-react to harmless substances, making us more allergic.

Researchers found that cat owners had a30per cent lower risk of dying of a heart attack. ____18____. The researchers assumed — and most cat owners would agree — that cats’ unbothered nature has a calming effect.

D．To introduce the best publisher.In 2014, a year into her retirement, Morag Warrack found herself in a village hall in the Surrey hills, surrounded by middle-aged men throwing each other on to the floor. “When entering the classroom, I was terrified and thought all these men would be shocked by an old woman walki ng in,” she says. “The teacher encouraged me to stay and I realized they were all kind and curious about me being there. That was my first experience of learning aikido.”At 59, Warrack, who had recently handed in her resignation, began reading up on mindfulness practices. “The more I looked into mindfulness, the more aikido kept coming up,” she says. “These books were recommending it as a way to connect the mind, body and spirit.”Attracted by the idea, Warrack found a local class where she could take a be ginners’ session. Despite her struggles, Warrack kept returning. While her husband and two children were supportive, they weren’t tempted to join in. “They just thought: Mum’s off on one again,” she says. Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.”By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class wh o was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. “It was a very odd pairing. Not least because he’s so strong and so I had to learn how to use my skills rather than strength against him,” she says.In December 2021, Warrack, at the age of 66, took her black belt test. For 20 minutes, she had to defend her position against attackers one after another before facing the final randori, where fourpeople attack at once. “One guy kicked me and split my lip,” she laughs. “It made me so angry, but that’s what I needed to keep going.” She passed, making her one of the oldest people to achieve an aikido black belt in the UK.14. How did Morag Warrack feel when she first entered the aikido classroom?A．Curious. B．Disappointed. C．Confident. D．Frightened.15. After two years of practice, Warrack ________.A．grew more patient B．turned into a better selfC．realized her full potential D．became aware of her weakness16. In order to achieve her black belt, Warrack had to ________.A．polish her skills further B．improve her coordinationC．avoid hurting the attackers D．seek support from her family17. What can we learn from this passage?A．With age comes wisdom. B．The greatest wealth is health.C．It’s always a good time to learn.D．Compete with honor and win with grace. Our travels are not limited to physical time. We also experience mental time travel. We visit the past through our memories and then journey into the future by imagining what tomorrow or next year might bring. When we do so, we think of ourselves as we are now, remember who we once were and envision how we will be.A recent study explores how one particular brain region helps to knit together memories of the present and future selves. When people sustain an injury to this area, it leads to a damaged sense of identity. The region, called vmPFC, may produce a fundamental model of the person and place it in mental time. When the region does so, it may be the source of our sense of self. It’s also found that memories that reference the self are easier to recall. They benefit from what researchers have called a self-reference effect.In the study, the researchers used the self-reference effect to assess memories of present and future selves among people who had brain lesions (损伤) to the vmPFC. The scientists worked with people with vmPFC lesions, then compared them with a control group made up of people with injuries to other parts of the brain and healthy individuals. They were asked to list adjectives to describe themselves and a celebrity, both in the present and future. Later, they had to recall these same traits. It was discovered that people in the control group could recall more adjectives linked to themselves than adjectives linked to the celebrity. However, the participants with vmPFC lesions had little or no ability to recall references to the self, regardless of the context of time. Their identification of adjectives for celebrities was also comparatively weak.These findings are intriguing, for the study helps us understand how self-related memories depend on the function of the vmPFC. But what about our past selves? Previous studies asked people to consider their past selves, but there was no evidence of the self-reference effect. Our past selves seem foreign to us, as if they were individuals apart from us.One idea that scientists have put forward to understand this distinction is that perhaps we are not very kind in our judgments of our past selves. Instead we may be rather critical of our previous behavior, emotions and personal traits. We may use our past primarily to construct a more positive self-image in the present. Put another way, because we may recognize flaws (瑕疵) in our past self’s behavior, we tend to distance ourselves from the person we once were.Therefore, bringing the present and future into the spotlight is central to understanding the way our brain and thoughts shape our current selves. And with the research, we have a better idea about the way a small region within our brain is able to build and hold the core ability to maintain our identity.18. From the passage, we can learn that ________.A．people with vmPFC lesions have a broken sense of identityB．vmPFC-injured people recall celebrities better than others doC．the self-reference effect plays a vital role in considering past selfD．people tend to accept past self after realizing their previous faults19. As for the findings of the recent study on vmPFC, the author is ________.A．critical B．doubtful C．approving D．unconcerned20. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Testing Our Memories B．Creating Our Sense of SelfC．The Power of Self-Reference Effect D．The Importance of Mental Time Travel With its 1.2 million LED lights shining brightly against the Las Vegas night, the Las Vegas Sphere may well be the ultimate symbol of 2020s overuse. But that gigantic entertainment space is alsosomething else: a symbol of the coming conflict between our climate goals and our seemingly insatiable (永不满足) appetite for stuff.In the 1990s, multicolor LED lights were invented to prevent climate disasters by greatly reducing the amount of electricity we use. After all, LED lights use 90 percent less energy and last around 18 times longer than incandescent bulbs (白炽灯). Yet the amount of electricity we consume for light globally is roughly the same today as it was in 2010. That’s partly because of population and economic growth in the developing world. But another big reason is that as technology has advanced, we’ve only grown more wasteful.There’s an economic term for this: the Jevons Paradox, named for the 19th-century English economist William Stanley Jevons, who noticed that as steam engines became ever more efficient, Britain’s appetite for coal increased rather than decreased. The logic of Jev ons is that instead of banking the efficiency savings we make as technology advances, we go out and spend it.Today, you can see examples of the Paradox everywhere. When residents in England installed home insulation, their overall heating energy demand soon rebounded, ending up at about the same level as it was before: The residents had apparently chosen to turn up their thermostats (温控器) and live in warmer homes.The good news is that in some cases the efficiency gains are so great that even our insatiable appetite for new stuff cannot completely negate them. Today’s car engines require less fuel, even though Americans on average now drive longer distances in heavier cars. However, the bad news is that the Jevons Paradox seems to be hard-wired into us. There are few examples throughout history of people willingly consuming less energy, either for moral or environmental reasons.For some, the solution is obvious: Governments must do more to limit our energy use, perhaps through regulations or taxes. A global carbon tax would help—though the chances of establishing one remain slim. A more innovative answer comes from Rob West, founder and chief executive of Thunder Said Energy. Having spent years documenting the Jevons Paradox and finding it far more widespread than economists predicted, he thinks the best hope we have is to fight Jevons with Jevons. That means applying the idea that consumption increases as goods become cheaper and more efficient to our production of energy. In other words, the future lies not in rationing (定量供应) energy and hoping humans suddenly change their behavior, but in ensuring any energy we use is as green and attractive as possible.21.

According to research, in every five people, there’s one HSP. 25 HSPs have strong self-consciousness; they may struggle to adapt to new circumstances, demonstrate seemingly inappropriate emotional responses in social situations, and easily become uncomfortable in response to light, sound or certain physical sensations. 26The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟缓的) power”. Usually, people associate “insensitivity” with something bad, but insensitivity does not equal dullness. 27 That is, calmly facing the setbacks and downtime in life and firmly moving towards one’s own direction. It is the “means and wisdom to win a better life”, as a Japanese author wr ites in the book The Power of Insensitivity. According to him, the world will be better if we focus on the major goals and stay insensitive to anything else.28 One of the important reasons is that behind insensitivity is strong self-awareness or self-confidence. Knowing yourself is difficult, but knowing yourself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability. One of the qualities shared by many successful people is: they all clearly know where their strengths are, what they want, and what direction to go.To practice insensitivity, the first step is to avoid overthinking. Resist the urge to overanalyze situations, and redirect your focus towards actionable steps within your control. Secondly, don’t pay too much attention to the ups and downs of life at the moment. Rather, you should be looking forward. Additionally, set clear boundaries. 29 Remember not to get too involved in other people’s business and set limits that keep you safe from outside pressures.As a unique wisdom of life, the power of insensitivity gives completely new inspiration to modern people. Once you become a bit “blunt” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.annoy, warn, drama, intelligent, emotion30.

The surrounding 21-square-mile nature park entertains with hiking and biking routes and boat rentals.LEEDS CASTLE, KENT, UNITED KINGDOMSituated on two islands in the middle of a lake, Leeds Castle provides a grand and romantic experience. It has served as a royal residence for most of its 900-year history. The 500-acre English castle now hosts year-round cultural events, with three restaurants, a bed-and-breakfast and a yew tree maze.MOSZNA CASTLE, POLANDMoszna Castle was originally designed in Baroque style in the 17th century, but the later addition of a neo-Gothic brought Hogwarts appeal to the castle, especially at night when its 99 towers and glowing windows twinkle in the outdoor reflecting pool.

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I made up my mind to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Make a firm decision, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签). I can now call mys elf a “marathon winner”.1. How did the author feel a month before the marathon?A．Confident. B．Tired. C．Determined. D．Hopeless.2. Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year?A．To share a precious memory. B．To show he was not talented in sports.C．To amuse the readers with a funny story. D．To acknowledge the support of histeacher.3.

B．Failure is the mother of success.C．A winner is one with a great effort of will. D．A man owes his success to his familysupport.3. Barcelona’s opera house has celebrated its reopening to the public since the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情) put the world into a huge horror, but their opening night had an unusual audience. For its first concert, the theater refused the usual crowd of people and instead packed the house with plants. Yes, that’s correct. All 2,292 sea ts at the Gran Teatre del Liceu were occupied by leafy green plants.The idea was put forward by conceptual artist Eugeno Ampudia and was broadcast live on the theater’s website. These lucky ficus trees, palms, and Swiss cheese plants-which were brought in by local nurseries(苗圃)- got the pleasure of hearing Puccini’s Crisantemi performed by the UceLi Quartet string musical group.Ampudia hopes that his idea and the work will inspire people to think more deeply about their relationship with nature and the concept of sustainability (持续性). “We are at the end of an era and that means that we have to change certain patterns,” he shares. “We don’t live in the same world as 90 days ago, and this means we have to reflect on everything that we do.”As plants can respond to different vibrations (震动) caused by music, they certainly weren’t a passive audience —even if they weren’t able to give applause. Now that the concert is over, each plant will be given to a different frontline healthcare worker who helped guide the country through its battle with the coronavirus.The moving concert is a continuation of the Liceu’s mission to create a dialogue between music and the visual arts. Pictures and a video of the performance taken by Ampudia will now become part of La Caixa contemporary (当代的) art collection.1. What was the special part of the concert?A．It made the world fall in horror. B．It gave plants chances to enjoy music.C．Its hall could only hold 2,292 seats. D．It welcomed audience with plants tocome.2. Who gave the idea that the seats were occupied by leafy green plants?A．Eugeno Ampudia. B．Puccini. C．The UceLiQuartet.D．La Caixa.3. Which statement may Eugeno Ampudia agree with?A．We did everything in a wrong way.B．The plants should have the equal rights:C．The healthcare workers were more important.D．We didn’t do very well in dealing with nature.4. In which part of a magazine can this text be read?A．Daily Hero. B．Teens’ Life.C．Animals and Plants. D．Art Around the World.4. When talking about colds, maybe some people say it is very common. During the cold winter days, many people will complain the cold winter makes them catch a cold, and what they feel upset about are not only the beadache, cough but also the runny nose. It is so embarrassing when they forget to take tissue along with them.Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University. “It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen. In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill. In this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illnesses were less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the brighter side more often.1. The underlined part “showed feelings” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.A．were outgoing B．were clever C．got sad D．got thoughtful. 2. What did the study find?A．People who felt happy never got ill.B．People’s feelings had no effect on their health.C．People with good feelings became ill more easily.D．People with positive feelings recovered more quickly.3. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness?A．Laughing. B．Eating. C．Crying. D．Sleeping.4. What is the best title for this text?A．Causes of Colds Found B．Ways of Preventing ColdsC．Smiles Can Fight Colds D．How People Get Sick5. If you're a book lover who can't help but get lost in a story, you're probably constantly looking for ways to have your friends and family join in the reading fun! 1Know your own reading preferences. Since you are more likely to be persuasive in recommending something you enjoy, it helps to know your own reading preferences. It's also helpful to write down some book reviews and your feelings about the books you read. 2Ask them what they last read. 3 Once you get a sense of the kinds of books they like, you'll be better prepared to make an appropriate recommendation.Encourage them to read a book about their city. If they recently moved to a new city, give them a book that relates to it. It could be a book about the unique art and architecture of the city. 4 For example, if they just moved to New York City, you could give them the novel Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote.5 If they are passionate about their career or have just decided to change careers, they may enjoy a title related to their vocation. Search for a book that relates to their career.Remember: The best recommendations are well tailored to them.6. It was very cold last Friday. The _________ was about to come in around 15 minutes.
