That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.“I was on the way to a pers onal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens（警笛）going, I fell in behind（在后面排成一行）a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. H e was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try tokeep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in（介入）and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.“Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”“After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license.”That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty—a thousand dollars for the new engine—not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.36. The meaning of “panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to ________ .A. shameB. hateC. angerD. fear37. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.D. Because he wanted to overtake（赶超）other cars on the shoulder.38. Which of the following statements is true?A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.39. The driver of the Firebird ________.A. took a wrong turn on the wayB. had some trouble with his carC. was stopped by the police officerD. paid for the expenses of the accident40. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Losing His Way?B. Going My Way?C. Fun All the Way?D.

高二下学期英语期末考试试题（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.36. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ________.A.children will get fatter if they eat too muchB.children will get thinner if they eat lessC.children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TVD.children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV37. According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV_____.A. is more than four hours a dayB. is less than four hours a dayC. doubled in the last twenty yearsD. is more than on any other activities38. The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about ________.A. six hoursB. eight hoursC. three hoursD. one hour39. Which one of the following is right?A.Children usually eat fewer while watching TV.B.Children usually eat more while watching TV.C.Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.D.Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.40. Why can watching TV increase kids’ weight according to the passage?A.They usually eat more while watching TV.B.They burn off fewer calories.C.They change their diet while watching TV.D.Both A and B.四. 改错Helen is one of my best friends.

2022-2023学年山东省济南市高二下学期7月期末英语试题
2022-2023学年山东省济南市高二下学期7月期末英语试题1. The Bosna River is the third longest river in Bosnia-Herzegovina, measuring 168 miles long. The name Bosnia is even from the Bosna River. Unlike other big rivers in the world, there are no dams here. This is due to many protests from environmental groups who believe the construction will endanger local animals.Source and CourseThe river begins in Sarajevo Canton, flowing through the Doboj Region, then to Posavina Canton. Its source is the Bosna Spring located in the foothills of Mount Igman, just outside Sarajevo. The waters of the spring are extremely pure and serve as the water supply. The area is a national park, popular with both locals and tourists as a spot for a walk, pienie and super photo opportunities.WildlifeFishing is very popular in the Bosna River, largely due to its rich species of trout (鲟鱼). At the head of the river, ducks make a home where the water is still. With plenty of fish, there are even brown bears wandering the shores. A threatened species also makes its home in parts of the river, making environmentally active groups more against industrializing the river.HistoryThe Bosna River is an important waterway in the region. During World War II, the Bosna River became an efficient access point to cities with a large industry. Zenica and Doboj are two major cities, with populations of 115,000 and 77,000 respectively, that rest along the Bosna River valley.1. What might have prevented the dam construction on the Bosna River?A．High cost. B．Public objection.C．River rapids. D．P eople’s lifestyles.2. What can we learn about the Bosna Spring from Paragraph 2?A．It is the largest in Bosnia. B．It provides drinkable water.C．It covers the whole nation. D．It is located in Doboj Region.3. Why is fishing popular in the Bosna River?A．It is home to a rare species. B．People can see more wildlife.C．There are many kinds of trout. D．The surroundings are attractive.2. Maybe you grew up eating food made by your grandmothers, mouth-watering dishes that bring back sweet, unforgettable memories. Perhaps it was Italian noodles or even Chinese dumplings. Now, at Enoteca Maria, a unique restaurant in New York City, you can eat the dishes same to your grandmother’s cooking.When Joe Scaravella opened his restaurant, he named it after his mother. Then, in order to remember his grandmother, Joe invited local grandmothers to cook Italian dishes in his kitchen. “I wanted totry to recreate that: the grandma cooking in the kitchen”, he said.Enoteca Maria is an Italian restaurant where half of the menu changes daily. The fixed half is Italian; the changeable half includes cuisines from all over the world. And what makes the restaurant unique is not professional chefs calling the shots in the kitchen, but grandmothers! Each night, a grandmother from a different country designs a fresh menu, honoring her native cuisine and the food she loves best. Currently, the restaurant is only open three days a week: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Although it’s usually packed, the grandmothers arrange everything orderly.When the restaurant first opened, several local Italian grandmothers from different Italian regions would cook their own special dishes on a regular schedule, sometimes launching friendly competitions of whose dish was better. When people from different cultures visited the restaurant to get a taste of original Italy, Scaravella decided to extend the competition to include women from across the globe, to make sense to celebrate every culture, and thus, in 2015, the “Grandmothers of the World” init iative was born.Now, business is running at full speed with around 30 grandmothers from different nationalities cooking in the kitchen.1. What inspired Scaravella to invite grandmothers to cook in the restaurant?A．The interest in cooking. B．The love for his mother.C．The desire to recreate Italian dishes. D．The wish to honor his grandmother.2. What made the restaurant special according to Paragraph 3?A．Updated menus. B．Local cuisines.C．Grandmother chefs. D．Foreign dishes.3. Why did Scaravella start the competition across the world?A．To create better dishes. B．To attract more visitors.C．To extend the business. D．To present different cultures.4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Grandmothers’ cooking wins hearts B．Italian cuisine occupies the marketC．Grandmothers run the restaurant D．Homemade dishes go popular3. A team of engineers has invented a new type of tiny, self-driven robots that can travel through liquid at incredible speeds and may one day even deliver drugs to hard-to-reach places like bladder (膀胱) inside the human body.The new study shows this research is a big step forward for tiny robots. The microrobots are really small. Each one measures only 20 micrometers wide, several times smaller than the width of a human hair. They’re also really fast, capable of traveling at speeds of about 3 millimeters per second, or roughly 9, 000 times their own length per minute. The machines look a bit like small rockets andcome complete with three tiny wings. The team makes its microrobots out of materials by using a technology similar to 3D printing. Each of the robots carries a small bubble (泡泡) of trapped air. If you expose the machines to sound, the bubbles will begin to shake wildly, pushing water away and shooting the robots forward.“Imagine if microrobots could perform certain tasks in the body, such as su rgeries without cutting into the body,” said Jin Lee, lead author of the study, “we can simply introduce the robots to the body through a pill or an injection, and they would perform the procedure themselves. If that sounds like something copied from scien ce fiction, that’s because it is.” He imagined that, just like in the movie, microrobots could move through a person’s blood stream, seeking out targeted areas. “Once there, the machines slowly released their medicine over the course of about two days. Such a steady flow of medicine could improve the outcome for patients. ”Lee added, “But there is a lot of work to do before microrobots can travel through real human bodies.”For a start, the group wants to make the machines fully biodegradable so that they would eventually disappear in the body, causing no damage at all. “If we can make them work in the bladder,” Lee said, “maybe patients wouldn’t have to come into the clinic as often.”1. What is an advantage of the invention?A．The small size. B．The rocket-like shape.C．The big bubble. D．The 3D-printed material.2. What can we infer from Lee’s words about the robots in Paragraph 3?A．They cure bladder diseases.B．They help to give patients pills.C．They are inspired from science fiction.D．They have performed tasks in human bodies.3. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “biodegradable” in Paragraph 4?A．Efficient. B．ResolvableC．Recyclable. D．Sensitive.4. What is the purpose of the text?A．To introduce a healthcare robot. B．To advertise a medical machine.C．To arouse interest in developing robots. D．To raise concern about bladder diseases.4. Why would anyone want to write a poem? One reason to write a poem is to dig from yourself some thought, feeling, comprehension or q uestion that you didn’t know was in you, or in the world. Other forms of writing, such as scientific papers, political analysis and journalism, attempt to record something known. Poetry is a release of something previously unknown.Poetry opens our eyes and offers increase of reach. We live so often on a lonely island, separated from ourselves and others due to social or personal reasons. To step into a poem is to agree to risk.Writing takes down all protections to see what steps forward. Poetry is a trick of language, in which the writer is both magician and audience. You reach your hand into the hat and surprise yourselfwith a rabbit or memory, with unusual verbs or rhymes. Poems lead to revolutions of being. Whatever the old order was, a poem will change it.What we want from art is whatever is missing from the lives we are living and making. Something is always missing, and so art-making is endless.There is also the matter of connection. You can’t write an image, a metaphor (暗喻), a story, a phrase without approaching the shared world, without recognizing that your supposed solitude (独处) is at every point touching some others. You can’t read a good po em without recognizing your own face in the poet’s experience. It allows us to feel more strongly and accurately what is already present. Then it expands that and expands us.Does art change anything by its existence or non-existence? I’d argue that art, if it is genuinely art, is a force for the good. That the rearrangement of words can reopen the potential of both inner and outer worlds—I cannot say why I feel this to be true, except that I feel it so when I read good poems.1. How does the writer introduce the topic?A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples.C．By quoting a saying. D．By making a comparison.2. What is the similarity between poetry and magic?A．They bring surprises. B．They follow traditions.C．They change the world. D．They are arts of language.3. What can a good poem do according to the text?A．Criticize social reality. B．Apply new expressions.C．Bridge poets and readers. D．Remind readers of the past.4. What is the author’s attitude towards art?A．Objective. B．Favorable. C．Unclear. D．Doubtful.5. Looking for a rewarding volunteering activity? Get outdoors and glean (拾落穗)! Picking fresh, healthy produce that is donated to food banks is a win-win activity. 1Gleaning is not a new concept. In 18th-century England, there was a law that provided unharvested crops should be given away to the poor. These days, there is a lot of produce that sits in the fields after harvest. 2 They will usually plant too much or will leave the produce that looks imperfect. Unfortunately, much of this produce would go unused in the field.Gleaning offers farm-fresh, healthy food for people concerned about food security. That is where gleaners come in. Gleaning addresses farm waste and food poverty by providing free healthy food straight from farm to table. And today, with a cost of living crisis, there are more hungry people. 3 In 2017, there were five gleaning groups in the UK, while today there are 25.Holly, head of the Cornwall Gleaning Group, said that her volunteers send around 300 boxes a week to food banks and community kitchens in her area. 4 “Any time I go gleaning, I am lifted up. For the volunteers, it’s so good for mental health, getting outside and doing something practical that’s good for the planet,” Holly said.5 To make this happen, more groups need to be established with farmers and more people need to volunteer their time to help. This form of helping may soon become common. It is rewarding for volunteers who harvest in the fields and it also offers fresh and nutritious food to those who need it the most.6. Pay it ForwardMy 8-year-old granddaughter Julie bought lots of chocolates. “Would you plea se share your ______ with your sister?” I asked. But she said “No!” I spent some time talking to her about being generous, but wasn’t sure if she was convinced. One day, we headed for the ______. After showing her the Chinatown and shopping at the markets, I took her to a ______. She was having her favourite sushi (寿司) and even tried some new ______.I ______ a man sitting near me having lunch. He got up to leave and upon leaving, he paid for our meal. The shop owner ______ with us if that was OK. I was deeply grateful, but he was gone before I had time to ______ him.Julie was really ______ by this and asked, “We don’t really need a ______ lunch, do we?” “No,” I replied. “Pay it Forward is an art of sharing in our community.” She got this immediately, but wanted to look for a really ______ person. At the station entrance she saw a homeless woman. She raced up and ______ her our lunch money. The woman’s face ______ up and she thanked Juliet a lot. Julie skipped back to me. I kissed her and said, “______ gives you a happy heart.”I followed up with my daughter later and heard that Julie each night ______ her chocolates with her sister. What an amazing life ______! I should thank the stranger who gifted us with more than a lunch.1.A．meals B．sweets C．presents D．toys2.A．school B．village C．hospital D．downtown 3.A．restaurant B．supermarket C．park D．bar4.A．styles B．tools C．tastes D．recipes5.A．greeted B．caught C．watched D．noticed6.A．argued B．checked C．bargained D．joked7.A．award B．recognize C．know D．thank8.A．annoyed B．disappointed C．shocked D．ashamed9.A．free B．special C．delicious D．big10.A．strange B．weak C．needy D．greedy11.A．gifted B．showed C．lent D．loaned12.A．swelled B．lit C．went D．turned13.A．Courage B．Duty C．Generosity D．Wisdom 14.A．mixed B．exchanged C．compared D．shared15.A．lesson B．circle C．challenge D．aim7. 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2022-2023学年黑龙江省哈尔滨市高二下学期7月期末英语试题1. Not everyone needs or can afford the latest, most powerful laptop. For simple tasks, such as running web-based apps or sending an email, a low-powered, low-priced laptop fits the bill. That’s where budget laptops come in.Budget laptops often come with small drive space, low memory, and slow processors. You won’t be able to use them to run the latest graphics—heavy computer games, but for giving your kids access to the web, sending a teen off to college with a computer for their, studies or for you to stay up-to-date with Facebook, a budget laptop could be an ideal purchase.Our top pick is the HP Envy x360 15z, a 2-in-1 laptop with high quality and smart performance that can be found for under $700 and competes with laptops that cost twice as much.

For years, Kris celebrated Valentine’s Day with her husband, Paul. But this year’s Valentine’s Day may be the most eventful one yet. That’s because it is their 25th as husband and wife, a landmark that would be meaningful for most couples but is extraordinary for them. They were both born with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) and are believed to be the longest-married couple with the condition in the country.This year’s Valentine’s Day is the first on which they won’t be living together.Paul, 54, is dealing with early-stage dementia (痴呆). Several months ago, the state moved him into a community residence with special nursing care. The couple was disappointed but not daunted. Kris visits Paul regularly, and they spend weekends together at the community residence, where Kris still cooks for her husband.The ongoing effort to keep them together reminds Paul’s mother, of all the obstacles they have overcome. She remembered how some doctors told her not to expect much when Paul was born. Instead, he grew up to live a successful life that included a marriage lasting a quarter century.Kris has had her struggles too. Then and now, she still encounters the occasional stranger who laughs at her abnormal behavior. The truth is that those people have no idea how rich and rewarding her life is. They cannot see the commitment that lasts after 25 years, and is still very fresh today “to have and to hold, in sickness and in health.” And they cannot see how, as Kris sits in her own living room recalling those vows (誓言) from her wedding day, she is surrounded by photos of herself with the man who changed her life.1. Why is this Valentine Day so extraordinary for Paul and Kris?A．Because their health conditions become worse.B．Because they won’t be living together since the day.C．Because they are the longest-married couple in the country.D．Because the couple of Down syndrome has a 25-year marriage.2. What does the underlined word “daunted” mean in the third paragraph?A．Discouraged. B．Scared. C．Excited. D．Embarrassed. 3. What is the purpose of the fourth paragraph?A．To Emphasize Paul’s depending on Kris.B．To stress struggles Paul experienced.C．To highlight the influence of Paul’s mother.D．To show Paul’s understanding towards life.4. What may impress the author most from the text?A．Kris’ care of her husband.B．The support from Paul’s mother.C．Paul and Kris’ sufferings from diseases.D．Paul and Kris’ commitment to marriage.3. Black and white mountains and rocks covered in colorful mist—the combination of Chinese and Western painting styles—attracts Michela Millstein at an art exhibition in San Francisco.“I think there are a lot of meanings behind the paintings. You can tell that it’s trying to show cultural things and not just a picture,” Millstein says. Having studied Chinese for three years, Millstein, a high school student in the San Francisco Bay Area, says she loves Chinese culture.The exhibition, The Flying Colors, presented more than 60 pieces of Chinese ink paintings by a local artist, Arthur Ku, at San Francisco City Hall recently.“Arthur Ku is a well-known painter, calligrapher, and artist; his endless devotion to the art community has undoubtedly contributed to the vitality (活力) of San Francisco,” the mayor said in the announcement.Ku was born in Guangdong province in 1941 and settled down in the United States in 1977. He has been exploring the “splash ink and color” style, which is a technique of working with splashy (泼墨), colorful washes to create an abstract, expressive style. Ku’s artistic talent in traditional Chinese brush and ink painting inspired a unique style of down-to-earth and creative freedom, which created a critical attempt of traditional Chinese brush painting into modern and contemporary art, according to mayor’s statement.Ku is also keen to promote cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the US to improve art and friendship. He has successfully held several joint painting exhibitions in the US for artists from China.“I think inclusiveness brings unity and diversity brings vitality. We are now living in the most challenging times. So, I think it’s important for us to embrace more inclusiveness and diversity, to have more cultural dialogue, so that we can communicate better and respect each other more.” said Arthur Ku.1. What can we learn from Millstein’s words in paragraph 2?A．The exhibition held recently.B．The beauty of artistic works.C．The passion for artistic works.D．The cultural significance of the works2. What does the mayor probably think of Ku’s painti ng?A．Innovative. B．Traditional. C．Costly. D．Inimitable.3. Why did Ku hold painting exhibitions in the US?A．To promote cultural and artistic exchanges.B．To found an international charity organisation.C．To enhance the reputation of some Chinese artists.D．To introduce the history of Chinese traditional arts.4. What is the passage mainly about?A．The learning process of a Chinese artist.B．An artist furthering cultural communication.C．The guidance on communicating and respecting.D．An art exhibition held at San Francisco City Hall.4. Faking (假的) sickness is about to get harder. Trying to take a day off work by nervously coughing down the phone to your boss might no longer live up to your expectations. Very soon your company might be able to tell whether or not your symptoms are real, just from the sound of your voice.As anyone has woken up with a runny nose and a sore throat, infection with the common cold virus change how a person’s voice sounds. That is because the tissue in vocal cord (声带) temporarily swells (肿胀) and, therefore, shakes at a lower pitch (音阶), which tends to make people with a cold develop a deeper voice.A research team in Surat, India, tried to find exactly how a “cold voice” differs from a healthy voice. Their research makes use of the fact that human speech does not produce single frequencies of sounds. The dominant notes in the human voice are instead accompanied by a series of higher pitched tones.Together these sets of notes fit into mathematical patterns called harmonics (和声), with higher pitched tones having frequencies that are multiples of the original note. The loudness of these harmonics in speech has to do with the frequency scale.To find out how infection with a cold might change the frequency, the scientists made use of an unusual resource: recordings of the voices of 630 people in Germany, 111 of whom were suffering from a cold. Each was asked to count from 1 to 40 and describe what they did at the weekend.By breaking down each person’s speech into compon ent wave lengths, the researchers could identify the dominant frequency in each case. They then used machine-learning calculation to find frequency changing patterns that could distinguish the cold voices from the healthy voices.The Indian team’s diagnosi s (诊断) of cold voice is not fully reliable. The results show it can correctly diagnose a cold up to around 70% of the time. Faced with another scary Monday at the office, would you take the risk?1. What is the function of Paragraph 1?A．To introduce the topic of the passage.B．To warn readers not to pretend to be sick.C．To provide the background of the research.D．To stress the development of scientific technology.2. Why does a person with a cold have a different voice?A．Swollen vocal cord produces lower pitched tones.B．They produce deeper voices to protect vocal cord.C．Their voices are from deeper part than normal ones.D．A runny nose and a sore throat change some sounds.3. How did the research team do their research?A．By applying a method to changing voice frequencies.B．By identify the frequency of high pitched tones.C．By observing the voices of 630 people chosen.D．By referring to the data of wave length.4. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A．Taking Sick Leave will be RiskyB．A Voice from a Real Cold or notC．Voice Changes Might Cure a ColdD．An AI Distinguisher of Voices5. Working from home has its advantages, but a sense of community is not one of them. Still, feeling connected at work is necessary for our success in our jobs and lives. Research finds that people with friends at work are more satisfied with and perform better at their jobs. 1Schedule an informal meeting just to chat.You can’t build a friendship if you only ever talk about work. One stud y found that while people feel closer the more time they spend together, this wasn’t true at work. 2 This is likely because when we only focus on work, we don’t reveal anything about ourselves. If you want to make friends at work, stop talking about work.3Friendship is not built from one interaction; it grows gradually. We unconsciously like those we are more exposed to. Scheduling an informal chat is great, but this chat needs to be repeated for a friendship to develop. The best way to do this is to put a standing meeting on your calendar, perhaps once a week or once a month, depending on preference.Share more of yourself.Now that you have stopped talking about work, start sharing stories. Study shows that people like people who share details about themselves. 4 Use interesting questions to get to know your co-workers. Some good options are: What do you do for fun? What were you like in high school?Express praise.We often think likable people are funny or smart, but the secret to being likable is actually to like people. 5 Co-workers will be more likely to want to be your friend if you show them you like them by doing things like greeting them warmly and celebrating their success.6. Deserts, rainforests and wildlife are just some of the difficulty that Russell Cook says he’ll________ as he attempts to complete the task of running the length of Africa. Starting at the most southerly point in South Africa, the 26-year-old Briton is ________ reach the most northerly point in Tunisia by Christmas—that’s the equivalent of running 360 marathons in 240 days.Supported by a small crew of friends, Cook will pass through 16 countries in a physically demanding, mentally exhausting and challenging ________ as he raises money for both The Running Charity and Water Aid. “There’s no ________ worrying about it until it’s right in your face.

广东省惠州市2023-2024学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题一、阅读理解Summer is finally in the air, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still stay in and have a great movie night. Whether you’re looking for something deep and thought-provoking or light for the whole family, there are many incredible films on Netflix.The Matrix (1999)IMDb (Internet Movie Database): 8.7/10 | Runtime: 136 minutesThe Matrix is a science fiction film that stars Keanu Reeves as a hacker who discovers the world he lives in is an illusion crafted by malevolent Artificial Intelligence. The movie presents the very best in technical filmmaking, winning four Oscars. With thrilling action and a complex story, it’s a must-see.American Symphony (2023)IMDb: 7.9/10 | Runtime: 104 minutesEven if you just watch the trailer for American Symphony, you will be in tears. The documentary (纪录片) tells the story of Grammy winner Jon Batiste and his wife, Suleika Jaouad. It’s a beautiful tale of love and resilience, with Variety Magazine calling it “one of the best love stories seen on film.”Nyad (2023)IMDb: 7.1/10 | Runtime: 121 minutesAs expected from most sports dramas and biopics, Nyad shares a story of perseverance, the triumphs of determination, and a message of hope. It engages the audience with its solid foundation while entertaining through grounded drama based on reality instead of relying on cheap cliches (陈词滥调).Society of the Snow (2023)IMDb: 7.7/10 | Runtime: 144 minutesIn 1972, a Uruguayan flight crashed on the way to Chile, and the survivors of the wreck had to work together to survive in the of the Snow. With a budget of 60 million euros, the film is the most expensive Spanish film ever made.1．For those who value online scoring, which film would be their top choice?A．The Matrix.B．American Symphony.C．Nyad.D．Society of the Snow.2．What do the last three films have in common?A．They are high-budget films.B．They are based on true stories.C．They have the duration within two hours.D．They have been successful at the box office.3．Who is the text intended for?A．Film critics.B．Film makers.C．Movie-goers.D．Cinema staff.I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate (模拟) a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans.I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it’s time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I’m always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild is where they belong, so there’s no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans.Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul (白头鹎). The bird, initially lacking feathers, recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it’s relatively easy to socialize. But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild. The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive (认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released.When we engage in wildlife rescue, we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful.4．What do we know about the author’s job?A．It was his initial career choice.B．It forbids close interaction with animals.C．It mainly aims to cure the injured animals.D．It involves both rescue and release efforts.5．Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling to release the rescued animals?A．Ambitious.B．Cheerful.C．Sorrowful.D．Anxious. 6．Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3?A．Was attached to.B．Was aware of.C．Was sensitive to.D．Was cautious of.7．What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work?A．Animals’ faith in humans.B．Human’s knowledge in the work.C．Human’s attitude towards animals.D．Animals’ ability to survive in the wild.Rena, 18 months, is a baby worker at a Japanese nursing home, hired to brighten the days of residents whose own grandchildren may rarely visit. The infants’ (婴儿) presences meant to ease the loneliness that can come with growing older, especially in the rapidly ageing nation where a third of the population is over 65.The nursing home’s director, Kimie Gondo, came up with the idea of baby workers three years ago when her own newborn granddaughter was visiting and she saw how happy it made the residents. The nursing home now has about 70 baby workers strolling around the nursing home with their parents, mostly mothers.Rena and her colleagues are paid in diapers (纸尿裤) and ice cream. But those are not the only rewards. “Here she gets to interact with kids her age and also with grandfathers and grandmothers who are a bit more difficult to come across,” said Shinohara, Rena’s mother,who called the nursing home residents “great life teachers”.Rena and her small colleagues work flexible hours but they don't have long in the business-having to retire before the age of three. A key requirement for the toddlers is that they should speak as little as possible. That’s because older people can struggle to speak and communicate, especially if they have cognitive impairment (认知障碍),” In order to communicate on the same level,words are unnecessary,” she added.For nursing home residents, Gondo said, the visits from toddlers provide the common experience of family members from multiple generations living under the same roof. “Even if they enter a facility like this, they should be able to interact with people from various age groups on a daily basis,” she said. “I think that’s only natural.”8．Why does Kimie Gondo carry out her idea in the nursing home?A．To provide jobs for mothers.B．To prevent the elderly from ageing.C．To amuse grandchildren during visits.D．To promote the well-being of residents.9．What’s the extra benefit for the baby workers according to Shinohara?A．Tasty snacks.B．Parent-kid relationship.C．Daily essentials.D．Interpersonal experience.10．Why is there a restriction on retiring age of baby workers?A．Words might lessen the effect.B．Flexible hours could be guaranteed.C．Cognitive Impairment could be avoided.D．Over-aged workers have low language levels.11．Which can be the best title of this passage?A．Babies helping remove cognitive barriers B．Babies replacing caregivers in nursing homesC．Baby workers tackling loneliness of the elderly D．Baby workers running a Japanese nursing homeChildren exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. A new study from Southern Methodist University psychologist Sarah Kucker and colleagues reveals that passive video use among children can negatively affect language development, but their caregiver’s motivations for exposing them to digital media could also lessen the impact.Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child’s words, sentences, and how much time they spend on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chat, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared.Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children’s media use. These factors were then compared to the children’s vocabulary and length using two or more words together.The research reveals a negative association between high levels of digital media watching and children’s vocabulary development. However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections-such as through video chats with family members.Kucker acknowledges that parents often use digital media to occupy children while they complete tasks. She suggests that caregivers need to consider what kind of videos and how much their children are watching, and whether they can interact with them during this period.Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development.12．What is the potential impact of being exposed to videos by caregivers on children?A．It enhances their vocabulary development.B．It has no significant effect on their language skills.C．It leads to the use of shorter phrases and sentences.D．It encourages them to read print books more often.13．What do paragraph 2 and 3 tell us about the study?A．Its research process.B．Its theoretical basis.C．Its underlying logic.D．Its scientific evidence.14．Under what circumstance can the negative impact be lessened?A．When children focus on tasks.B．When children get involved in the content.C．When videos serve as entertainment.D．When videos aid learning and bond building. 15．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A．To point out the significance of the study.B．To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.C．To present the practical application of the findings.D．To discuss other affecting factors of babies’ growth.When it comes to wardrobe (衣柜) organization, many of us operate on an out of sight, out of mind basis. If you can’t see the mess, it doesn’t exist, right? 16 With a bit of planning, you can get that wardrobe looking orderly in no time.Make a plan. It’s best to start any big project by setting some goals and intentions. What outcome are you hoping to achieve by rearranging your wardrobe? Do you just want more space? Or maybe you fancy making a bit of extra money by selling the things you don’t wear? 17 That will help you fine-tune your approach.Do a simplification. The biggest causes behind a messy wardrobe are those clothes you bought five years ago and wore once, if that. Sorting through your wardrobe and deciding what to get rid of is essential for restoring order. 18 Take a cold hard look at your clothes and ask yourself what you really need.Store seasonal items. A great way to create space is to remove seasonal items from your wardrobe and pack them away in a damp-proof storage bag. 19 There’s no need for your big bulky puffer jacket to take up wardrobe space in the middle of summer!20 Once you’ve done your clear-out, clean the entire inside of the wardrobe and chest of drawers before replacing items. If you keep shoes in your closet, you might find a build-up of dirt and debris at the back and in the corners so make sure to wipe this clean. Before you add items back inside, remember to hang a scented bag to keep the wardrobe smelling fresh. A．Well, it’s time to face it!B．Sort through your clothes.C．Finish with these final touches.D．And don’t be afraid to be cruel!E．These can be somewhere out of the way.F．Either way, figure out your goals before you get started.G．Work out a specific method for decorations like belts and scarves.二、完形填空Clark, a bald eagle (秃鹰), is a frequent commercial flier. He takes at least six trips a year. When the plane touches down, the 21 will often announce to the cabin: “The eagle has 22 .”Like many passengers who touch down in the nation’s capital, Clark has a pretty high profile. His eagle father, Captain, was given as a 23 to the United States in 1982 by WestGerman. At the time, the bald eagle was endangered, and environmentalists were 24 about the present. At its low point, the bald eagle population had fallen to 417 known nesting pairs.The United States made great efforts to 25 the bald eagle population and the result was 26 . The species was saved and the bald eagle was 27 from the list of threatened species in 2007.Captain was part of a critical conservation breeding program, 28 six healthy eaglets (雏鹰). While Clark’s siblings were 29 into the wild, Clark has spent his whole life under human care. Clark’s claw (爪) did not form 30 and just didn’t give him the 31 that he would need. After all, the wild is not the most 32 place.Clark travels across the country to 33 flight demonstrations and other educational programs at events. People react similarly when they see him at events. They’re 34 .

JUNE—INDIA'S SPACECRAFT TAKES ITS FIRST FLIGHTISRO,the Indian Space Research Organization,has announced that Gaganyaan（which translates to Sky Craft）will have is first unscrewed fight in June.The craft is panned to be a key vehicle in the Indian Human Spaceflight Program and,all going well in this test;it will be followed by a crewed test next year.JULY—RUSSIA EYES THE MOONAGAINRussia's Luna program had many successes with landers,rovers,and even sample returns,and Luna25is expected to follow in that tradition according to Russian Space Agency,Roscomos.The mission this fine is just a lander expected to touch down near the Lunar South Pole with instruments designed to study the soil.The location might be a possible area of interest for a permanent base on the Moon.AUGUST—MORE LUNAR MISSIONSAugust will see the launch of the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter,a panned lunar orbiter by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute（KARI）.This will be the first Korean Lunar Mission,a technology demonstration for KARI.21.Which country will carry out multiple space tasks this year?A.China.B.India.C.Russia.D.Korea22.What do we know about Luna25?A.It will operate in low lunar orbit.B.It will take a land on the Moon.C.It will serve as a permanent base.D.It will take its first crewed flight.23.When is the first Korean Lunar Mission scheduled?A.In May.B.In June.C.In July.D.In AugustBA recent story in the Wall Street Journal newspaper looked at students who went to celebrated universities such asColumbia and New York University,for advanced degrees in subjects like art,film and even social work.Many of the students said they learned a lot.However,when they graduated,they were deep in debt and did not think they would find work that would let them pay back their loans.Students said they spoke with Columbia about the high cost of advanced arts degrees but never received a reasonable cation experts say the school is very wealthy,with large funds.The University,however, prefers to ask the students to pay the full cost.Kevin Carey is a higher education expert for New America,a public policy research center.He called master's degrees"a scam“in a conversation."Charging people a ton of money to go into any artistic career is often super problematic,he said.Castillo is an actor in New York City.He earned an MFA from The Actors Studio in New York City.Was his MFA worth the cost?"I do think it was worth it.I don't put a price tag on my education or my experience.I think it's sort of unfortunate that so many people take education for granted.Castillo said students who are thinking about an advanced degree in art should be sure they are doing it because they value the education,not because they want money or to be famous.Plazinska is a filmmaker in New York City.She attended graduate school both at Baylor University in Texas and at the University of Lowa.Arts graduate programs can help students meet and make friends with fellow artists with whom they can work throughout their careers.For school to be of value,students need to remember why they started making art in the beginning."It's just for the pure pleasure of creating and fulfilling myself this way.”24.What's the problem for students in famous universities for art advanced degrees?A.They can't take loans.B.They can't find any work.C.They may be heavily in debt.D.They may drop out of university.25.What does the underlined word"scam"in paragraph3mean?A.Way.B.Trick.C.Skill.D.Game.26.What does Castillo think of his MFA?A.He thinks highly of it.B.It's a waste of money.C.He takes it for granted.D.It brings him fame and money.27.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.Arts graduate programs ensure a promising future.B.Students had better consider whether they can afford the fee.C.Arts graduate programs introduce celebrity artists to their students.D.Students should stick to their original purposes while learning.COxygen,I'm sure you'd agree,is pretty important for life on Earth.We breathe it in,our cells survive on it and without it,we hardly live.Basically,all multicellular life on Earth evolved over millions of years to make use of oxygen.But take a deep breath,because we need to talk about Henneguya salminicola,a tiny parasite（寄生虫）containing fewer than100cells that lives within the muscle tissue of salmon,a large fish with silver skin and pink flesh. The strange-looking parasite does not busy itself with such small matters as breathing oxygen.Nope,it seems that H.salminicola is the first multicellular animal we've found that survives without the stuff.“Aerobic respiration（有氧口乎吸）was thought to be commonly found in animals,but now we confirmed that this is not the case,“said Dorothee Huchon,a zoologist at Tel Aviv University in Israel,in a press release.Huchon and a team of international researchers examined and sequenced（排序）all of.salmincola’s genes in their study,published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.They found that the parasite,which is closely related to jellyfish,lacks the DNA machinery necessary to“breathe'Mt doesn't'have mitochondria（线粒体）,often called the"powerhouse"of the cell,because they use oxygen to make energy.It's like a little factory inside almost all cells,and DNA detectives can find mitochondrial genes during sequencing.The discovery came as something of an accident for the team,who were examining the genome(the complete set of genes)of the species.When they went searching for the mitochondrial genes,they came up empty-handed."Our discovery shows that evolution can go in strange directions,Huchon said."Aerobic respiration is a major source of energy,and yet we found an animal that gave up this important pathway.”Some single-celled life forms have evolved the ability to survive without oxygen and do not have mitochondria, either.Plenty of bacteria can exist without oxygen at all.Instead of oxygen,they get their energy from fernentation(发酵)or use other molecules like iron.But how H.salminicola produces energy is still unclear.Huchon suggests it could draw oxygen from the cells in salmon or it could have evolved similar methods to those of single-celled organisms which scientists have documented in the past.28.What can we learn about Henneguya salminicola?A.It is an animal consisting of a cell.B.It can still survive without oxygen.C.It takes on a normal appearance.D.It has a longer life span than salmon.29.What is the main function of mitochondria?A.To make cells breathe fast.B.To help to produce oxygen.C.To provide energy for cells.D.To help cells absorb oxygen.30.How did Huchon probably feel about the discovery?A.Interested.B.Satisfied.C.Astonished.D.Frightened.31.What could be the most suitable title for the text?A.The natural evolution of animal cellsB.Different kinds of life forms on earthC.A research on single-celled organismsD.A creature that doesn't breathe oxygenDIn these days of information overload,it's never been more important to keep track of and back up your data.The problem is that digital storage doesn't last forever.Hard disks fail,phones tumble out of our pockets,and tablets are beaten up by grandchildren.This is why it is important to think carefully about your back-up strategy.Online back-ups are easier,arguably.All of the big tech players have online storage you can treat like your ownhard disk.Google has Google Drive,Apple has iCloud,and Microsoft has OneDrive.All you have to do is download the app for service you want to use to your computer or phone.Most Cloud storage apps even have the option to automatically upload your camera roll,so when you take new photos they511be sent up to the Cloud as soon as you connect to wifi.Offline storage is slightly trickier.Looking after Cloud files is Google5s or Microsoft's problem.But offline, figuring out what equipment to buy is something you need to figure out for yourself.The most obvious option is to buy a portable USB hard drive.Just plug it into your computer and you can copy important files to it.This is definitely a better approach than doing absolutely nothing,but there5s still a problem:if your back-up drive fails,you still lose everything.This is why if you5re serious about backing up-and you should be-I recommend the slightly pricier option of getting a device known as a NAS,which stands for""Network Attached Storage“and is basically a mini computer that you can plug directly into your wifi router.Some companies have devices available that contain only one hard drive, but I recommend buying one with space for at least two.This is because on most NAS models,two hard disks can work together to keep your files safe.Instead of appearing as separate hard disks,they can be combined using a feature called"RAID”,standing for"Redundant Array of Independent Disks”and it basically tells your NAS to treat the two hard disks inside it as though they were one drive,with the contents mirrored on both drives automatically.It means that if one of the two drives goes kaput,you still have a perfectly functioning mirror copy with all your files safely stored on it.The only thing considered undesirable is that a decent NAS tends to start at around£300,and that excludes the price of the hard disks themselves.But before you scream in horror,remember-this is for your most important files, to keep them safe.So,as annoying as it might sound,this is important.Just as you wouldn't leave your home with a risky boiler or drive a car with faulty brakes.It5s time to do the boring but important thing and spend the money to get your data backed up-before it is too late.32.Why are online back-ups easier?A.Because all of the big tech companies offer online storage free of charge.B.Because you just need to download the Cloud storage app for service you want.C.Because it is the service providers that are to blame if your Cloud files get lost.D.Because the data of your digital device is uploaded to the Cloud automatically.33.What can we learn about NAS?A.It's a device that you can plug into your computer.B.RAID is used to separate two hard disks inside NAS.C.It tends to be very costly even without hard disks.D.Most of them contain only one hard drive within.34.What does the underlined word"kaput”in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A.Tom.B.Broken.C.Lost.D.Shut.35.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Strategies for backing up data.B.Solutions to information overload.C.Problems concerning digital storage.D.Reasons for keeping track of your data.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 16 .I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 17 we realized we were18 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so 19 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 20 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 21 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 22 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier.

But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 34 up with you.This reflects the saying, “A coward（懦夫）dies a thousand deaths;a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times.

You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, you friends will help you; when you work hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door: when it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.36. What kind of people can enjoy happiness according the passage?A. Only those who have cars.B. Only those who have their own happiness.C. Only those who have big houses.D. Only those who have a lot of money.37. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will _______.A. laugh at youB. play jokes on youC. quarrel with youD. help you up38. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?A. Oh, so do I.B. Congratulations!C. Good luck!D. It's just so-so.39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towardsyou.BI grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the coop. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace. I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and then went on to sing until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook.I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (主管) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked, and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call —Warner Brothers Records wanted to sign a record deal with me. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies.My best efforts have gone into every job I’ve ever held.It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.40. The main purpose of the writer’s dad by letting him feed thechickens and clean up the coop was ____________.A. to let him learn responsibilityB. to let him earn his own livingC. to let him help with the companyD. to let him spend his spare time(注意：从41题开始，把选项答在答题纸上)41. Why was the writer once known as a singing cook?A. Because he was a cook at a country music club.B. Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.C. Because he often sang while cooking.D. Because he liked singing better than cooking.42. ________ first recognized his talents and helped to make his career successful.A. Warner’s brotherB. His managerC. His fatherD. A woman executive43. What made the writer proud of himself?A. His ability to live independently.B. His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.C. His courage in the face of rejections.D. His hard work in his early years.CDown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher,for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.44. If a person has his nose in the air, he ____.A. is down to the earthB. is easy to deal withC. always thinks he is more important than othersD. is confident45. If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____.A. is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dream sB. has some dreams but he is realisticC. is honest, open and easy to deal withD. is honest, open but hard to deal with46. From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from ateacher can usually ________.A. help a student get down to the earthB. wake a student upC. help a daydreaming student come down to the groundD. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic47. The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” mostprobably means that ______.A. the person who has his nose in the air is not trueB. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligentC. the opposite direction is always wrongD. a person who has both feet on the ground may not bedown-to-earthDMost Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found thatpeople expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.48. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he_______.A. has found a full-time jobB. has finished his study in universityC. can make money and support himself after completing hiseducationD. can support a family and be financially independent aftergraduation49. A young man of 24 may be busy ________.A. finding a jobB. finding a girl friendC. making moneyD. preparing for his wedding50. The underlined word “status”in the second paragraph probablymeans “________”.A. positionB. rankC. levelD. situation第二小节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）ETaking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. ____51____.

At school, she did just enough homework to stay out of 1 .
