(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)ABest Sleep Music AppsIf you want to sleep better at night, trying a sleep music app might be the answer. Here are some ideal sleep music apps to choose from.CalmCalm is one of the most popular sleep music apps and its large library of relaxing and sleep-causing tracks is largely responsible for that. This app offers a free version, but to really take advantage of what Calm has to offer, you had better choose the paid version, which costs $ 69.99 for one year. A lifetime membership is $ 399.99.Relax MelodiesRelax Melodies is intended to calm your mind with relaxing sound. The composer is visual and easy to use, and the Discover page gives you access to other app features, like bedtime stories and breathing exercises. Though its free version provides a great introduction to the idea of sleep music, the paid version unlocks a larger library of sounds. Consider paying for it if there're particular sounds or features that really attract you.HeadspaceHeadspace is a feature-rich app designed in a simple way that makes it quick and easy to use its library of sleep-specific music. The Sleep icon at the bottom of the app is easy to identify and leads to a library of options that include Sleep Music and Sleep Radio. It's worth noting that nearly everything in Headspace's Sleep Library requires an extra subscription. Headspace costs $ 69.99 annually, or you can pay $12.99 per month.PzizzPzizz offers sleep music tracks you can use at naptime, bedtime, or to improve focus. One thing that makes Pzizz different is its voice narration（旁白）option. If you find the presence of a calming voice to be comforting or benefit from someone helping you to relax your body and mind, then Pzizz is a good choice for you. Male and female voice options are available and the voice is low and calm. It has a free version but you should pay for extra subscriptions.1.

I shall never forget that silent, unpleasant trip.The next time I went to Scapli in 1978, by air this time. The new town was being officially opened by the President, after many years of construction work.

Dr Kell filled one open bowl with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put both bowls to the same low temperature. The warm water froze(结冰) first.The lack(没有) of covers on the bowls was the secret(秘密). Some of the warm waterchanged into vapor. (蒸汽) It evaporated(蒸发) into the air.

Get chewing: can a wellness rebrand make Americans buy gum again?When was the last time you saw someone chewing gum? 1998, maybe? 2007? Chances are, it probably wasn’t recently. Like high heels and affordable housing, chewing gum appears to be going 42Gum’s popularity has been fading globally thanks to increased competition from products like breath mints and mobile phones distracting us from impulse purchases while shopping. The pandemic, moreover,43 ·accelerated gum’s decline.Even after people 44 from lockdown, sales didn’t recover. Gum sales worldwide in 2023 were 10% below 2018 figures. In the US, the drop has been particularly pronounced: last year 1.2 billion units of gum were sold in the US, 32% fewer than in 2018.However, chewing gum, in various forms, is one of the oldest habits there is. Stone age teenagers were chewing birch bar k tar possibly for pleasure, medicinal purposes, or to use it as a glue. Gum has also been loaded with cultural meaning and the subject of various 45 panics. Some people believe it is a marker of the bad kidsor a habit of the lower class.Despite a certain amount of social stigma（污名）attached to gum, it has - until relatively recently -been a wildly successful product. That’s thanks to William Wrigley Jr, who was a marketing and advertising genius. Wrigley always 46 to find a way to make gum relevant and insert it into consumer culture. For example, Wrigley advertised the idea that chewing gum was a health aid that would help digestion and would relieve stress.This year the Wrigley brand’s owner —Mars— came out with an ad campaign it hopes will revive gum’s47 by positioning it as an almost instant stress reliever. Linking gum with wellness worked in the 1910s, but is it going to work now? Alex Hayes at the food consultancy is 48 optimistic. “The global well ness market is estimated to be worth more than $1.5 trillion, so it’s no surprise that Mars wants a piece of the pie,” Hayes says. “We’ve seen the success of categories such as tea promoting their products via functional 49 and messaging-teas for good sleep, mental clarity, stress relief, etc. So it comes as no surprise that Mars is risking the same 50 .” But he also notes, customers are increasingly worried about processed foods and are eager to move away from artificial 51 . There’s still ongoing discussion on just how effective repositioning chewable plastic as a health supplement is going to be.Ⅲ．Reading ComprehensionSection A ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s safe to say Jeremy Scott is having a lucky year. In March while working as a chauffeur, he told his boss about his plans to set up a driving business. By the end of the journey, Scott’s boss had offered to 52 his idea-a starting capital along with the gift of a £110,000 limousine（豪车）to kick start the business.Of course, there’s an element of luck to everyone’s career. Whether you’re a chief executive or an artist — your 53 won’t be based on hard work alone. For example, the place you were born 54 your education. It determines whether you learn to read, write or complete qualifications, which 55 limits your career choices.Many people believe success is down to talent and hard work, but “this is because most people underestimate the role of 56 ”, says psychologist Dr Elizabeth Nutt Williams. “We do a lot of work to prepare for our careers-education, training, taking advantage of mentoring-all of which tend to be in our control.” People don’t like to acknowledge the role of luck in their work, as it 57 this feeling of being in control, adds Williams.Everyone remembers working hard, so people are more likely to overestimate how much of their success is down to diligence than something much more 58 like luck.The reality of success （at least in terms of 59 ）is less clear cut. In the UK, studies show where you are born is likely to determine how much you earn.2017 research found that there is a “class pay gap’’, where professional employers from 60 backgrounds are paid almost £7,000 less a year — despite having the same role, education and experience as colleagues from more privileged families. 61 , black graduates earn up to 23% less per hour than white university leavers, whereas woman in the UK earn 14% less on average than men.Socio-economic status also plays a big role in the 62 you enter. A recent study by the Debrett’s Foundation found seven in every 10 young people aged 16-25 use 63 to get their first job. While research hasshown that less able, richer children are 35% more likely to become high earners than their brighter. poorer peers.The truth is: chance and coincidences 64 our careers more than we like to think. Realizing that parts of your career are out of your control sounds 65 , but being grateful for the role of luck in your career can actually make you more fortunate.This is because when you acknowledge the role of luck in your work, you become prepared to take advantage of more fortunate moments. “Chance events occur·but it is all about the individual’s 66 to see those events as possibilities and their willingness to take a risk,” says Williams.52．A．challenge B．adopt C．finance D．reject 53．A．performances B．accomplishments C．assessments D．outcomes 54．A．accounts for B．applies to C．makes up for D．depends on 55．A．in reward B．after all C．in turn D．by nature 56．A．chance B．accident C．education D．diligence 57．A．emphasizes B．overlooks C．maintains D．weakens 58．A．manageable B．vital C．slippery D．minor 59．A．reputation B．income C．education D．occupation 60．A．wealthier B．poorer C．unique D．diverse 61．A．Nevertheless B．Contrarily C．Consequently D．Similarly 62．A．profession B．circle C．community D．university 63．A．certificates B．online platforms C．career fairs D．family connections 64．A．contribute to B．result from C．add to D．hold back 65．A．inspiring B．encouraging C．appealing D．discouraging 66．A．reluctance B．eagerness C．readiness D．resolutionSection B Passages（A）When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the burnt garlic’s smell, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves（蒜瓣）in an electric oven, and after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that,although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, lwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen （$2.8）.67．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “blunder” in the second paragraph?A mistake B．show C．mixture D．brand68．Who is NOT suitable to drink garlic coffee?A．A student having trouble with sleep B．A woman bearing a baby.C．A cleaner working on a day shift.D．A young lady sick of garlic.69．Which of the following is NOT characteristic of garlic coffee?A．It is caffeine-free.B．Garlic powder dissolves in waterC．The burnt garlic create s bitterness.D．It is an improvement on a garlic dish. 70．Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?A．Venturous and greedy B．Innovative and perseverantC．Hardworking and cautious D．Observant and helpful（B）71．By “how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means “how they ______.”A．make sense to manufacturers B．get stuck in storesC are compared with each other D．are piled up together72．Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A．Dreampad pillow B．Eight sleep trackerC．Smart Nora Wireless Snoring Solution D．Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System 73．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B．The Nightinga, is an economical but perfect device.C．Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D．One in three people suffer from sleep problem.（C）One way to divide up the world is between people who like to explore new possibilities and those who stick to the tried and true. In fact, the tension between betting on a sure thing and taking a chance that something unexpected and wonderful might happen troubles human and nonhuman animals alike.Take songbirds, for example. The half-dozen finches（雀）resting at my desk feeder all summer know exactly what they’ll find there: black sunflower seed, and lots of it. Meanwhile, the warblers（莺）exploring the woods nearby don’t depend on this predictable food source in fine weather. As food hunters, they enjoy less exposure to predators and, as a bonus, the chance to meet the perfect mate flying from tree to tree.This “explore-exploit” trade-off（权衡）has prompted scores of lab studies, computer simulations and algorithms（算法）, trying to determine which strategy brings in the greatest reward. Now a new study of human behavior in the real world, published last month in the journal Nature Communications, shows that in good times, there isn’t much of a difference between pursuing novelty and sticking to the status quo（原状）. When the going gets tough. however, explorers are the winners.The new study, led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico, both of the University of California, Davis, along with Orr Spiegel of Tel Aviv University, examined the routes and results of nearly 2,500 commercial fishing trips in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 2.5 years. The study focused on “bottom longline” fishing, a system where hundreds of lines are attached to a horizontal bar that is then lowered to reach the sea bed. Dr. O’Farrell explained the procedure this way: Go to a location and put the line down. Stay for a few hours. The lines are a mile long and have a buoy （浮标）at either end. When they pull that up, they assess the catch, and then decide if they will stay or move on to a different spot.Over two years of collecting data under various climate conditions, the researchers discovered that thefishermen were fairly consistent. “The exploiters would go to a smaller set of locations over and over, and go with what they know,” Dr. O’Farrell said. The explorers would constantly try a wider range; they’d sample new places.In the long run, there wasn’t a huge difference in payoffs between the two groups, perhaps due to the sharing information between fishing crews, said Dr. O’Farrell. But in challenging times, the study’s message was clear: “You can try new things in the face of uncertainty.”74．The author takes the songbird as an example to indicate that ______.A．like birds, humans tend to be satisfied with the predictableB．some birds are used to looking for food instead of being fedC．there exist the conservative and the adventurous like humansD．birds choose different ways to look for food in different weather75．According to the third paragraph, people who mastered “explore-exploit” trade-off ______.A．will choose either to pursue novelty or keep the status quoB．are ready to risk in time of difficultyC．will be tough in good times and bad timesD．will grow to be experts in lab studies76．Which can be inferred from the new study led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico?A．The two groups react to the unexpected differently.B．The “explore-exploit” trade-off helps scientific research a lot.C．The exploiters are used to fishing based solely on their experience.D．The explorers tend to achieve more than the exploiters in the long run.77．Which of the following can be the best title for passage?A．How the Exploiter differs from the Explorer B．How to Become a Productive Fisherman C．What is “Explore-Exploit” Trade-off D．When to take risks mattersSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Maya loved cacao so much that they used the beans as currency. They also believed it is good for you—which many people still say today about cacao’s most famous byproduct, chocolate. 78 . While some have suggested that less than an ounce of dark chocolate might improve heart health, much of the research doesn’t involve eating actual chocolate but rather its components — flavanol, especially.79 . In a clinical trial of 21,000 adults, they found that the half of the group that took500mg of. cocoa flavanol supplements daily had a significantly lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who had taken a placebo（安慰剂）.Flavanols may also boost insulin sensitivity, according to some studies, which might be helpful in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）. 80 . Those at risk of diabetes might be wise to choose a cacao-inspired supplement instead of eating chocolate—and the sugar it contains. Other research suggests that the flavanols found in cacao （also present in fruits, vegetables, and tea）could slow cognitive decline during aging, or even boost brain performance by improving blood flow to the cerebral cortex.What these findings mean for chocolate is limited, however. Participants would have had to eat multiple fat and sugar filled chocolate bars a day to source 500mg of flavanols. 81 . So understanding why certain types of chocolate are healthier than the rest is the focus of further research.Ⅳ．Fill in the BlanksHow sneaker culture took over the worldSneakers have come a long way from when they were first invented in 1860s England for the upper-class playing croquet（槌球）and tennis.Long worn for function 82 82 fashion, today sneakers have become an entire culture—both a form of self-expression and a high art found in museum exhibits and designer auction houses.83 transformed sneaker culture into a true phenomenon was the 1985 release of Nike’s Air Jordan 1s. In 1984, Michael Jordan was a talented rookie who had yet to play in a professional game. 84 that, Nike saw Jordan as the future of their brand, signing him to a five-year, $2.5 million endorsement（代言）deal. 85 Jordan matured into one of the greatest basketball players of all time, the sneaker’s popularity skyrocketed.Meanwhile, another cultural shift 86 （take）place with casual Fridays introduced in white-collar businesses.

So, when she refused to even get dressed one day, her mother decided to allow her to stay home with her father Kyle and her 4-year-old brother Caleb. The family would later be extremely thankful that the little girl refused to leave after she found her father passed out in the basement.After returning from his night work, Kyle was feeling light-headed. He told his wife Kate that he would be laying low for the day with their children. He finally made his way to the basement. Macie paid attention to her father’s condition when she heard him shouting, and she and Caleb went to have a look. Macie found her 37-year-old father was about to lose awareness (意识). She asked him for his phone’s passcode (密码) so she could unlock it. After successfully opening his phone, she found the local police department’s number and called the police.Smith was floored by Macie’s decision-making and her ability to stay calm. The little girl listed the family’s Goodwin Road address while explaining that her father was in trouble. In the meantime, Caleb comforted his father. Thanks to Macie and Caleb, he was sent to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, where he required four liters of oxygen(氧气) and spent three days recovering.“I’m very lucky, obviously because of my daughter and son and the police’s response” said Kate. “It was quick,” he added, mentioning that the police arrived just in two minutes thanks to Macie’s call. “It was unbelievable. I was in tears myself,” he said.The Eliot Police Department also praised the young girl for her quick thinking and strong awareness. Eliot Police Chief Elliot Moya praised the Semraus for teaching their children about awareness of their surroundings (环境) as well as communication skills.

The study, put out on August 29 in the magazine Device, showed that users could correctly read which direction the tool was telling them to go since the wearable uses air instead of electronics, it can be built lighter than present designs.The wearables may benefit people with hearing loss, and experts such as doctors, pilots, and soldiers who are crowded with signs and sounds.But while tools that produce signs or sounds are prevalent in everyday life, tools that use touch-based signs are still uncommon.To get over this difficulty, the Rice University researchers developed a light, comfortable wearable tool from fabric materials that can be worn on a user’s arm. The team tested the tool by meas uring forces applied to the user as a function of pressure and the shape of the wearable.“Every person has a differently shaped arm, a different feeling of what ‘feels good’ in terms of the forces applied and the timing of the forces, and different abilities in responding to the type of touch-based signs we sent,” said Barclay Jumet the lead author of the study. “Fortunately, our fabric-based wearable tool is easily tailorable (可定制的) and adjustable (可调节的) to a series of body types and sizes.”After testing the performance of the touch-based wearable tool in a lab-based study, the researchers set out to see how well these tools could guide users in a real-world situation. “We were amazed that the user was able to find his way around the streets of Houston and later follow 50 meters long on an open field with 100% exactness in receiving and reading touch-based signs,” said Daniel Preston, the co-author of the study,“Further development will seek to improve the ability to pass on even more difficult signs that are easily and naturally noticed by the user,” said Preston.8.

She tells me that she j ust wanted to have a peaceful life, spend some time with the people she loved and start a family. But finally, she says, she’d be willing to be in prison even longer if it might make a difference. “I started to realize that no matter whether I’m in prison or not, I will never have those things.”I have been turning over her words for what happened later. Vermont experienced storms last week, causing floods and resulting in deaths. An extreme heat brought the number of people in one Phoenix emergency room to levels never seen since the COVID-19 pandemic. The ocean water around the Florida Keys reached a temperature of over 90°F, seriously endangering coral reefs.Many well-meant statesmen mention what’s happening as “new normal”. It’s meant, of course, to point out the long-term effects of putting large amounts of greenhouse gases into air. But the phrase of “new normal”, to me, also has the suggestion that now, at least, is “normal,” as if we’ve been riding a lift of global (全球的) temperature rise, and just ar rived at the top floor. “It surely is hot up here at the new normal, but good thing is that it won’t get any worse.”Unfortunately, though, it will. The changes we are experiencing are only quickening. Each new season is a baseline from which things will g et stranger still. There’ll be yet more heat domes, storms, and flooding, coming at a faster and faster speed. By 2050, the world could be dealing with 1.2 billion climate refugees (难民) escaping for their lives.One thing from Guttmann’s words is clear: However bad things are now, they’re set to get a whole lot worse. We need to have the awareness that there is no “new normal” where we can stop to catch our breath. And, if we don’t do something, things will get worse.12. Why is Guttmann’s story mentioned?A．To explore what is behind the story.B．To describe what life holds in the future.C．To explain the cause of her being in prison.D．To experience her feeling of disappointment.13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A．The climate disasters. B．The storm.C．The extreme heat. D．The high water temperature.14. Which view concerning “new normal” will cause an argument?A．The statesmen propose “new normal” with a good purpose.B．“New normal” alarms the long-term impact of climate changeC．Things abou t global temperature at “new normal” won’t be worse.D．What Guttmann wants will probably come to nothing at such a “new normal”.15. What is the author’s attitude toward Guttmann’s concern?A．Unclear. B．Supportive. C．Doubtful. D．Negative.Do you have some habits like emotional (情绪的) eating or spending money to reduce stress? 16 Here we are coming to discuss some habit-breaking strategies (策略).We first take an example. When you are in a movie theater with hot dogs, the movie theater is the invitation, and hot dog’s buying and eating are the behaviors.The habit-breaking choices are: One, tell yourself “no hot dog” each time; two, avoid going to the movies at all; or three, exchange the hot dog with a new movie snack that you can afford or achieve your nutritional goals. The key to this strategy is to make sure that the new habit is similarly attractive. 17Not every habit-breaking strategy works for every habit. For example, maybe you want to eat a piece of oil cake in the break room when you arrive at school. 18 Maybe, you might as well try to develop a new habit of eating healthier breakfast food at the same time, instead.19 The only way habit-breaking works is to use the strategy repeatedly. A 2009 study of 96 people in the European Journal of Social Psychology showed that individuals took between 18 and 254 days to form a habit.Finally, success isn’t perfection with habit breaking. Habit should be thought of as a continuum (连续体). Things become more or less habitual. 20 And you’ll know you’re making progress when you feel less influenced by the habit, not when it is gone.Paul Calderbank was homeless and was in need of help. It could have been so easy for him to take all the money from a ________ he had found. He, however, decided to do the right thing because his honesty of doing the right thing was far more important than ________. But Paul didn’t just go out of his way to ________ the wallet to the police. He made sure it ended up in the right ________—its owner, Daisy Owen.After a fun night out with friends, Daisy couldn’t find her wallet. She did everything she could think of and finally ________, thinking someone had likely found it and stolen its ________.

The friend________ message Daisy. “I am so happy and ________ him. He is now living: in a hostel (临时收容所), yet took no money out of it,” said Daisy. But then she read the ________ Pau l put in the wallet about wanting to do the right thing. All of a sudden Daisy knew what she ________ to do in return. She started a Go-Fund-Me page explaining that Paul found her lost wallet and his current________ situation. She was determined to put a roof over his head. She was hoping to ________ $1,500. To her great surprise, she received over $5,000 to help Paul get a(n) ________.It’s easy to imagine the worst of people.

One night, I took a fare (出租车乘客) at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, sanding on the side way was a small woman in her 80s with a big suitcase.After I helped her into the taxi she gave me an address and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It is not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” She said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off he meter (计价器). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house, where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she asked me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building.“How much do I owe you?” She asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.I didn’t pick up any more passengers, but drove aimlessly, lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver? What if I had refused to drive through downtown? Great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.4．What caused the author to shut off the meter?A．His distrust of the fare.B．His pity for the woman.C．The breakdown of the meter.D．The cold weather at midnight. 5．What was the aim of the women’s ride downtown?A．To find a place to settle down.B．To reach the destination on time.C．To kill time before the hospice opened.D．To see the city for last time.6．What can we learn from the story?A．Giving is always a pleasure.B．People should respect elderly people.C．A small act of kindness brings people great joy.D．Strangers are family you haven’t known yet.7．Which of the following describe the author best?A．Positive and energetic.B．Helping and humorous.C．Sensitive and patient.D．Kind-hearted but demanding. 8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．A taxi ride I will never forgetB．My strange driving experienceC．The ending of an old woman’s lifeD．An old woman passenger and her lifeThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend: don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not anequal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mothers always “trump (胜过)” friends.9．What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．differ B．prevent C．benefit D．change 10．What do we know from the text?A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B．A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.11．How does the author mainly prove his statements?A．By listing data.B．By giving explanations.C．By quoting sayings.D．By giving examples.12．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Be a Good Mother and Daughter?B．Who Is a Mother’s Best Friend?C．Mothers or Friends?D．Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend?二、七选五Tips for Discussing Current Events with ChildrenOften the news children see and hear can be confusing and alarming. Maybe you don’t let your child read or watch the news. 13 With some preparation, you can help your child to understand and react calmly to news and current events.The first thing to keep in mind is to find out what your child already knows. Your child may have already heard about an event but lack context for an understanding of the details. Ask your child questions about what news topics are being discussed in school or what stories they recently saw in the newspaper or on TV. 14Another way you can help your child understand the news is to seek out child-appropriate news sources. Explain to your child the importance of getting news from reliable sources. There are multiple well-regarded websites that have news stories for younger children. 15 Try to watch or read the news together and encourage your child to ask questions if they see something confusing.16 If a news story upsets you, it is okay to tell your child this, showing children that having strong feelings about world events is healthy. However, you shouldn’t try to force your child to feel the same way as you. Encourage your child to read or watch the news critically and draw their own conclusions.All in all, by talking with your child about current events, you can help your child to feel more confident in their understanding of the world. 17A．Finally, be careful not to upset your child.B．Besides, be honest with your child about your feelings.C．But they can hear about events from other children at school.D．This is not likely to be an attractive option for older children.E．Then you can help them fill in gaps in their understanding of events.F．You can also help them become a better and more informed global citizen.G．Older children may want to read the same news sources that you read or watch.三、完形填空It might sound a bit old-fashioned, but there’s something unique about handwrittenso started a correspondence(通信)that 27 for several years.Then out of the blue, he passed away. My mum was 28 as they had not really spoken for years. I went upstairs and presented a box of 29 from him. She comforted herself reading them and knowing that 30 she hadn’t been in touch, I had grown close to him by writing to him.I often think about how that one 31 childhood behavior led to such an enriching correspondence.

The first semester was filled with excitement and anxiety in equal measure. Every day seemed like a new adventure, yet the pressure to excel academically and socially weighed heavily on my shoulders. It was during this time that I embarked on a journey of 1 discovery, a journey that taught me invaluable lessons about myself.One of the most significant challenges I faced was 2 with my peers. Coming from a different background, I felt like an outsider at times. I struggled to find common ground and feared being judged for my differences. However, through participating in various extracurricular activities and opening up to my classmates, I gradually learned to 3 the beauty in diversity and embrace my uniqueness.Another turning point came when I was assigned to a difficult math course. Math had always been a 4 subject for me, and the thought of struggling through it filled me with dread. But instead of giving up, I decided to face my fears head-on. With the help of my teacher and countless hours of 5, I managed to not only pass the course but also develop a deeper appreciation for the subject. This experience taught me resilience and the importance of perseverance.Moreover, the semester brought about a renewed sense of 6towards learning. As I delved deeper into my studies, I discovered a passion for literature thatI never knew existed. Reading books from diverse cultures and time periods broadened my horizons and sparked a curiosity within me. I realized that education was not just about acquiring knowledge but also about fostering a lifelong love for learning.Through these experiences, I came to understand that life is full of 7 and uncertainties. But it is precisely these challenges that shape us into the individuals we become. I learned to embrace the unknown, to have courage in the face of adversity, and to cherish every moment of growth and self-discovery.Cloze Test Questions (with Options and Answer Key)1.A. personalB. culturalC. scientificD. socialAnswer: A2.A. fitting inB. standing outC. keeping upD. breaking awayAnswer: A3.A. recognizeB. createC. ignoreD. reject Answer: A4.A. fascinatingB. challengingC. relaxingD. enjoyable Answer: B5.A. practiceB. leisureC. debateD. research Answer: A6.A. enthusiasmB. skepticismC. boredomD. apathy Answer: A7.A. certaintiesB. opportunitiesC. obstaclesD. routines Answer: CNote: The passage and questions are designed to test students’ understanding of context, vocabulary, and logical reasoning while engaging in a meaningful topic of self-discovery and growth.六、语言运用第二节 _ 语法填空（15分）For the Grammar Fill-in-the-Blanks SectionDirections: Read the following passage.

Here are some major reasons for such a decision.1.The health reasonMedical studies prove that a vegetarian diet is easier to digest, provides a wider range of nutrients(营养) and has fewer burdens on the body. Vegetarians are less influenced by all the major diseases, and thus live longer, healthier, more productive lives. They have fewer physical plaints, less frequent visits to the doctor, and smaller medical bills.In a word, they are in the most natural conditions of life.2. __________________Planet earth is suffering. In large measure, the great loss of species, destruction of ancient rainforests to create lands where animals can feed on grass, loss of top soils, and the increase of water impurities(杂质) and air pollution have a mon cause which is the single fact of meat in the human diet. No single decision that we can make as individuals or as a race can have such a dramatic effect on the improvement of our planetary ecology(生态) as the decision not to eat meat. Many seeking to save the planet for future generations have made this decision for this reason and this reason alone.3.The economic reasonThe simple fact is that to produce 1 kilogram of meat, it requires over 16 kilograms of grain and much more water. Millions of animals are bred for meat production. If they were not bred, the vegetation would be used to feed people. And more people in hunger would have their food.56. Vegetarians prefer to live on vegetables for the reasons EXCEPT that _______.A. vegetables are easier to digestB. they provide more kinds of nutrientsC. vegetables are cleaner than meatD. the body will have fewer burdens57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passageA. Vegetarians will spend no money on medical care.B. Vegetarians have more children in their life.C. Vegetarians are usually thinner.D. Vegetarians can save the planet for future generations.58. What might be the proper title for the second partA. The ecological reason.B. The pollutant reason.C. The plant reason.D. The generation reason.59. Which of the following might the writer agreeA. Fewer animals should be bred to produce more grain for people.B. Animals shouldn’t be raised.C. We should save animals.D. Living on vegetables can solve the problem of hunger.60. If people live on vegetables, which of the following may NOT be affected by itA. Species of animals.B. Air quality.C. People’s health.D. Grain quality( B )Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placedan order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”61. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. earn more money for his familyB. learn something from a salesmanC. get away from the farmD. get enough to eat.62. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _____________.A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods.B. he cut down the price by halfC. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.63. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap.D. the knives were produced in one factory.64. _____________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.A.

The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that_______________.A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shopassistant, the customers are always right.B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way.C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they wantto make more money.D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if theywant to be successful.( C )About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow.A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.66. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. color and its surprising effects.B. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness67. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow68. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by womenA. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.69. Which of the statements about the color- blind is trueA. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can see deep red.C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.70. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.A. red lightB. yellow lightC. blue lightD. green light( D )Rome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street ers.

So what’s the point“ To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with open talk.”Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip.

A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making a decision. 71. What did Liz and Bill determined to do after the attack on September 11, 2001A.

Some people may not know about them.There are two kinds of taxes. One of the most important taxes is income-taxes which a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whatever he is, he must pay tax if income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct〞tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government.Another tax is paid on goods. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indir ect〞tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on what they need. On one hand, we need policemen and soldiers to protect us from danger. Meanwhile, we also need schools and teachers for our children. On the other hand, we need officials and workers to serve us. Above all, we need money to develop our nation.Taxes, therefore, can’t be avoided. We have no real reason to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.SECTION BDirections: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.随着人们生活水平的提高，人们也越来越关注自己的健康，如何才能拥有一个健康的身体呢？请根据以下内容提示以How to keep healthy为题写一篇不少于100词的英语短文。

Elephants can use their ears to make different sounds, such as trumpeting or grunting. Lastly, the ears are also used for protection. Elephants can use their ears to shield their eyes from the sun or to protect themselves from predators.Despite their large size, elephants are gentle creatures. They are known for their intelligence and strong social bonds. Elephants live in groups called herds, and they often travel together. They are also very caring parents, as they protect their young from danger.10.

In 2020, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, slidingdown the cliff and into the sea.Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has gone farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting in ten years their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have asked the Government to build sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would only make the waves go further along the coast, shifting(转移) the problem from one area to another. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.62.What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A.

All non-public safety parking tickets(罚单) issued on Boston’s streets on December 1, 2 and 3, may be paid by providing a toy of equal or greater value than the fine on the ticket.Toys are being accepted this week through Friday, December 17, between the hours of 9 AM and 4 PM, on the second floor of Boston City Hall as well as at the Transportation Department’s Enforcement Building at 200 Frontage Road.

Government(C)Why Is Canadian English Unique?Is there such a thing as Canadian English? If so, what is it?The standard stereotype (刻板印象) among Americans is that Canadians are like Americans, except that they say “eh” a lot and pronounce “out and about” as “oot and aboot.” Many Canadians, on the other hand, will tell you that Canadian English is more like British English, and proof holds that the spellings “colour” and “centre” and the name “zed” for the letter Z.Canadian does exist as a separate variety of English, with subtly (细微地) distinctive features of pronunciation and vocabulary. It has its own dictionaries; the Canadian Press has its own style guide. However, the core of Canadian English is ambivalence (矛盾).Canadian history helps to explain this. In the beginning, there were the indigenous peoples (原住民), with far more linguistic (语言的) and cultural variety than Europe. Starting in the 1600s, the French colonized the St. Lawrence River region and the Atlantic coast south of it. In the mid-1700s, England got into a war with France, concluding with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ceded (割让) “New France” to England. The English allowed any French to stay who were willing to become subjects (臣民) of the English King.At the time of the Treaty of Paris, however, there were very few English speakers in Canada. The American Revolution(革命) changed that. The founding English-speaking people of Canada were United Empire Loyalists — people who fled (逃离) American independence and were rewarded with land in Canada. As a result, Canadian English was, from its very beginning, both American — because its speakers had come from the American colonies — and not American, because they rejected the newly independent nation.Just as the Americans sought to have a truly distinct, independent American version of English, the loyalists sought to remain more like England. These were people whose variety of English wasalready different from the British and vice versa. When the residents of London began to drop their r’s and change some of their vowels (元音), people in certain parts of the United States adopted some of these changes, but Canadians did not.There did end up being more British influx (大量涌入) and influence in Canada. After the War of 1812, Mother England encouraged emigration to Canada to ensure the loyalty to England. The accent did not become British, though British schoolteachers and authorities did leave their marks on the nation’s spelling and grammar.Today, one-fifth of Canadians have a mother tongue other than English or French — nearly as many as have French as their mother tongue. And yet the basic character of Canadian English still appears like a household of Anglophile (亲英派) Americans, with bits from other cultures mainly in the kitchen, a few traces of the indigenous cultures who used to be the only residents, and some influence from the French roommate.68.
