Aat3am or written on paper,looking sad and regretful that we’ve put them there.Our words laugh at us before and after they leave our bodies.I messaged a writing mentor(导师)when I found myself running in circles.With only a small window of time to myself each afternoon,I found it hard to write.If only I had more time,I could finish my book.If only people would leave me alone,I could become an accomplished writer.It was everyone else’s fault.Small—my mentor told me to start small but keep going.“Do what you can,when you can.Let that be enough during the busy seasons.”In her eyes,she was once me.She was once crazy with tasks that kept her hands pushing,pulling, grabbing and moving endlessly.She recognized herself in the way I talked with starry eyes about my dreamy writing goals and plans.Essays,articles and short stories flowered in my rich mind.In a few wise words,she gave me the freedom to write in small periods of time she called“the cracks of the day”.She argued that I should run after publishing with the same desire as ever.But in her patient voice,I heard a gentle reminder of stopping running so hard and instead slowing to a sustainable pace.So I write.I submit.I live,and I dream.31.What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?A.She has a strong desire to write.B.She has serious heart problems.C.She is forced to write constantly.D.She is unable

the author?A.All roads lead to Rome.B.Strike while the iron is hot.C.No pains,no gains.D.Constant drops wear away a stone.BA Guide to Botany:Online Botanical Painting SessionOur Guide to Botany class

the best title of the text?A.Does your favourite color influence your mood?B.Does it make sense to read people through color?C.Color psychology—a must-see guide before decoratingD.Color psychology—a practical but never simple subjectDNot long ago,people could only buy organic food in small shops.Today it is common in most major supermarkets.The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals.Since the1990s,organic farm production has gone up continuously.This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.Australia leads the world in land used as for organic agriculture.It has four times as all of Asia.However,most of the land is not very fertile,and it only produces a modest amount of food.Argentina is a distant second,followed by Brazil,the United States and China.In Africa,only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming.That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals.In fact,many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them.Yet there are no programmes for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals.Without these programmes their food can never be approved organic.India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming.Like many other countries,India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world.This,of course,leads to growth in profits.Sales of organic food were more than doubled from2000to2005.Like India,many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales.This has led to criticism.Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money.They think the goal is to help the environment.Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing healthy food for mankind.42.What is the passage mainly about?A.Organic food has become much more common.B.Organic farming is growing around the world.C.People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.D.Countries all want to make money from organic farming.43.Why do people want to increase organic farming?A.More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.B.Organic food is good for Earth and the human beings.C.There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.D.Profits from organic farming help make approval programmes.44.From the passage,it can be said that__________.A.India uses the least land to organic farming.B.Brazil uses less land to organic farming than China.C.the US is the fourth largest organic farming country.D.China and India have the same amount of organic farmland.45.It can be inferred from the passage that__________.A.people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespan.B.India will soon become the largest country of growing organic food.C.more countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse.D.there will be fewer organic farms if the demand for organic food goes down.第三部分:阅读表达理解(共5题每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列短文和问题,根据短文内容和每小题所给的具体要求,完成对该问题作答。

山西省2022 年普通高中学业水平考试试题英语(考试时间:120 分钟试卷满分:150 分)一、阅读(共两节,满分60 分)第一节(共15 小题;每小题3 分,共45 分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AAdvice on Writing from Famous Writers◆Hilary Mantel—a little pride can be a great helpThe most helpful quality a writer can develop is self-confidence, if you can manage it. You write to impress yourself on the world, and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you.◆Leo Tolstoy—pick the hours that work best for youTolstoy believed in starting first thing: “I always write in the morning. I was pleased to hear lately that Rousseau, too, after he got up in morning, went for a short walk and sat down to work. In the morning one’s head is particularly fresh. The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking while you are still in bed or during the walk.”◆William Faulkner—read to writeRead, read, read everything—rubbish, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter(木匠)who works as a beginner and studies under the master. Read! You’ll take it in. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.◆Katherine Mansfield—writing anything is better than nothingLooking back, I imagine I was always writing. Even it was rubbish. But it’s far better to write rubbish or anything than nothing at all.1. What should you have in writing according to Hilary Mantel?A. A sense of pride.B. Rich knowledge.C. Courage to begin.D. Opportunities.2. What did Leo Tolstoy and Rousseau have in common?A. They went for a short walk after rising.B. They chose to write in the morning.C. They started to work while in bed.D. They got up at the best time.3. What did Katherine Mansfield value in writing?A. Reading good works.B. Keeping on reading.C. Practising writing.D. Gaining others’ respect.BWhen David Carter started his art major at the University of Texas at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But he dropped out of university at 23 after he hurt his hand badly in an incident. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia(精神分裂症) and spent several years without a home. Carter liked to spend time around UT-Austin, because he dreamed of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.UT-Austin student Ryan Chandler said he met Carter during an assignment(任务) on homelessness for The Daily Texan. “I interviewed him about homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT-Austin, so I decided to help him.” said Chandler.With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned and adviser by UN-Austin’s College of Fine Arts. “It’s the greatest blessing I’ve ever received,” Cartersaid. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn’t have done it without him.” after seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT-Austin alumnus(校友) decided to pay his tuition fees without telling his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the college of Fine Arts, said in a statement that the school would be looking to help Carter in any way it could. “David Carter’s determination to complete his degree is a testament to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’re going to help him through his remaining course work.”4. Why did Carter stop studying in the university?A. He couldn’t afford his study.B. He had a hand injury.C. He got a strange disease.D. He hurt an artist.5 What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?A. To do an assignment on homelessness.B. To learn why he hung around UT-Austin.C. To make friends with a homeless person.D. To finish his homework on helping others.6. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Strong-mindedD. Warm-hearted7. What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He calls on other students to help Carter.C. He supports students who never give up.D. He suggests other students learn form Carter.CMany of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable (有利可图的).However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested (抗议) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.Other animal protection movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the PacificOcean.In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten?8 What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals?A. The growing human population.B. Humans’ hope for making a fortune.C. Humans’ too much need for wild food.D. Not having enough laws on wildlife protection..9. What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s?A. Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.B. Importing ivory in all countries is illegal.C. Those who killed elephants all got caught.D. Hunting was completely not allowed.10. Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. To show the effort to protect seal babies.B. To show an increasing number of seal babies.C. To show the decrease of worry about certain species.D. To show people’s protest against the killing of seal babies.11. What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence?A. Humans should choose some rare animals to protect.B. Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife.C. Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection.D. Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.DRole models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggest that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging then scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings—recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology—will help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.According to the researchers, there is concern in the science community with the number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively. In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants whobelieve the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,”Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.”Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”12. What kind of scientist is more encouraging?A. Those who are famous around the world.B. Those who are viewed as naturally brilliant.C. Those who are famous for their hard work.D. Those who are viewed as great inventors.13. What is the concern in the science community?A. There are fewer role models for students to follow.B. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.C. The students will drop out of school soon.D. Fewer students will work on science.14. Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems?A. They knew the problems were given by Edison.B. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.C. They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Einstein Is Less Encouraging Than EdisonB. Edison’s Achievements Are GreaterC. How to Be a Great ScientistD. Einstein’s Success Story第二节(共5 小题;每小题3 分,共15 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind-hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn't just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man's eyes sparkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl's kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was a beautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl's are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic(同情的)and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else's life, no matter how small the act may be.Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.24. What did the girl do for the old man?A. She gave him a warm and comforting hug to make him feel better.B. She took his hand and guided him along the path to help him find the place he was supposed to be.C. She asked to take a photo with him to capture the moment.D. She went to a nearby store and bought him a refreshing drink.25. How did the old man feel in the end?A. He felt extremely grateful and had a big smile on his face because he was happy.B. He was still hungry and sad as no one really cared about his needs.C. He felt fearful and angry because the girl was too pushy.D. He felt cold and tired as the walk was too long.26. What can we infer about the author's attitude?A. Doubtful .B. Disapproving.C. NegativeD. Admiring.27. Where is this passage most likely from?A. A detailed and informative travel guide filled with places to visit.B. A complex and educational science textbook with various theories.C. A personal blog where the author shares personal experiences and thoughts.D. A trendy and fashionable magazine featuring the latest styles and trends.CChina's tea culture is an ancient and profound(意义深远的)cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea-growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people's search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti-oxidant(抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.28. What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China?A. Different processing methods.B. Different people's preferences.C. Different regions' climates and lands.D. Different times of harvest.29. What does the word "beverages" mean in the passage?A. A type of food that is sweet and usually served as dessert.B. A tool or equipment used for cooking.C. A kind of medicine that helps to cure diseases.D. Something that people drink, such as water, juice, or coffee.30. What is the main feature of tea ceremonies in China?A. Simple and casual.B. Complicated and formal.C. Fast-paced and efficient.D. Loud and lively.31. Why is tea culture still firmly rooted in China?A. Because of its long history.B. Because it is profitable.C. Because it is easy to maintain.D. Because the government promotes it.DChina successfully launched the Chang'e-6 spacecraft on Friday. A Long March-5 rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China's space exploration program. The launch not only shows China's advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and space lovers around the world excited.Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang'e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side's environment, geological features, and material make-up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang'e-6 spacecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender(上升器), and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South Pole-Aitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang'e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon's formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial(天体)neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for space exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future space activities, such as setting up long-term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang'e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in space exploration. It shows China's strong wish to add to the growth of global knowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32. What is the main purpose of the Chang'e-6 mission?A. To build a base on the far side of the moon.B. To study how the moon moves around.C. To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D. To look for water on the moon.33. Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A. It's different from the side we can see.B. It's the same as the side we can see.C. We know a lot about it.D. It has no rocks or soil.34. What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A. No change in the future.B. New chances for space activities.C. Fewer friends for China in space.D. No new technologies.35. What could be a suitable title for this passage?A. "The Mystery of the Moon"B. "The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory"C. "Space Exploration and Challenges"D. "China's Chang'e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon's Far Side"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。

We always bring our cameras,and I look forward to our day trip all year long,but I also love our tradition of stopping at the Buckhorn Tavern for a famous green Chile burger at the end of a long day in the field.Sandhill Cranes are much larger,standing3-4feet tall and have a massive wingspan of6feet.They breed in Canada,Alaska and Siberia and although they were once almost extinct,they have recovered dramatically because of places like this National Wildlife Refuge.They also have an incredible sound.12.Why is the National Wildlife Refuge so famous?A.Because it has beautiful natural scenery.B.Because many migrating birds can be seen here.C.Because there are valuable plants growing here.13.What is the author?A.A reporter.B.A photographer.C.A writer.14.When does the author often go to watch the birds?A.In February.B.In January.C.In December.15.What can we know about Sandhill Cranes?A.They are about6feet tall.B.They have an amazing sound.C.The number of them has reduced dramatically.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

When I was a little girl, my grandmother and I spent every Saturday afternoon together. One day we would eat ice cream or go to the movies and the next we would go to the zoo or a museum. But in the summer and spring, my favorite activity was when we would go to the park and fly kites. My grandmother was an expert at flying kites, and as soon as the wind picked up, she would consider it the perfect time to go. She would make herself comfortable on the soft grass, unwind the string and expertly fly the kite into the sky. After letting out a few feet of string, she passed it to me. Once it was in my hands, my heart would race as I felt the kite lift into the air. I would run against the wind, using all of my strength to keep it up. One day, however, the kite flew a little too high and the string slipped from my fingers. It hurriedly rose higher and higher into the sky until it was out of sight. My grandmother told me not to cry and comforted me as she made a new kite for me. And ever since, we had another day to remember in the park with our new kite.1.

Ricky took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and savored the aroma of the masala. Instead of the usual stares and whispers, there was only interest on Ric ky’s face. His face lit up with a broad smile, asking, “You mum made masala for your lunch ” Before I could make a response, he added: “I could be dying of envy! You know what, last Sunday, my parents and I queued up for three hours in harsh cold in fifth Avenue for the new India restaurant.” He enjoyed every bite, nodding his head in approval. It was a welcome change from the stares and whispers I had grown accustomed to.After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch. I came over and asked if I could have palak paneer in my lunchbox, which made her a bit confused. Finally, I told her aboutmy experience with Ricky and how he had enjoyed my food. Mom’s face lit up with joy. “I’m glad he liked it,” she said. “And I’m even happier that you’re starting to feel proud of your roots again.” She paused and looked at me seriously. “Your culture, your traditions, and your food are all a part of who you are.” I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Mom’s words had given me the courage to embrace my identity and share my culture with others. 应用文评分细则:本题总分为15分, 分五个档次进行评分。

That year,one of Benjamin's cousins, Mr.Pennington,came to visit.He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings.When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画)by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He wasamazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city,Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape (风景)painting.Wiliams, a well﹣known painter,came to see him work.Wiliams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little,having been a poor student.But he later said,"Those two books were my companions by day,and under my pillow at night."While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nine﹣year﹣old boy decided then that he would be an artist.29.What is the text mainly about?A.Benjamin's visit to Philadelphia.B.Williams' influence on Benjamin.C.The beginning of Benjamin's life as an artist.D.The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.30.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?A.The cat would be closely watched.B.The cat would get some medical care.C.Benjamin would leave his home shortly.D.Benjamin would have real brushes soon.31.What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?A.He took him to see painting exhibitions.B.He provided him with painting materials.C.He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.D.He taught him how to make engravings.32.Williams' two books helped Benjamin to.A.master the use of paints B.appreciate landscape paintingsC.get to know other painters D.make up his mind to be a painter.DGetting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids.According to a new survey(调查)by the National Sleep Foundation,51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights,even though they have to get up early.Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7﹣to 12﹣year﹣olds said they felt tired during the day,and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age.Babies need a lot of rest:most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours.For most school﹣age children,ten hours is ideal (理想的).But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10﹣to 12﹣year﹣olds get only seven or eight hours.And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime?Watch TV."More children are going to bed with TVs on,and there are more opportunities(机会)to stay awake,with more homework,the Internet and the phone,"says Dr.Mary Carskadon,a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School.She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep.Other experts say part of the problem is chemical.Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics,but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.,some school districts have decided to start high Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagersschool classes later than they used to.Three years ago,schools in Edina,Minnesota,changed the start.time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am.Students,parents and teachers are pleased with the results 33.What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?A.American kids' sleeping habits.B.Teenagers' sleep﹣related diseases.C.Activities to prevent sleeplessness.D.Learning problems and lack of sleep.34.How many hours of sleep do 11﹣year﹣olds need every day?A.7 hours.B.8 hours.C.10 hours.D.18 hours.?35.Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to CarskadonA.They are affected by certain body chemicals.B.They tend to do things that excite them.C.They follow their parents' examples.D.They don't need to go to school early.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.In fact,the key to easy morning wake﹣up lies in resting your body clock (36)_________. Here's how to make one.●(37)In order to make a change,you need to decide why it's important.Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family,get in some exercise,or just be better prepared for your day?Once you are clear about your reasons,tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.●Rethink mornings.Now that you know why you want to wake up,consider re﹣arranging your morning activities.If you want time to have breakfast with your family,save some time the night before by setting out clothes,shoes,and bags.(38)__________That's a quarter﹣hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.●Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.If you're tired out by Friday night,sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful.But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepinessthe following week,a recent study found.(39)●Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel.After you've tried a new method for a week,take a look at your record.(40)If not,take another look at other methods you could try.A.Get a sleep specialist.B.Find the right motivation.C.A better plan for sleep can help.D.And consider setting a second alarm.E.If the steps you take are working,keep it up.F.Stick to your set bedtime and wake﹣up time,no matter the day.to get coffee.G.Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)When I came to my new school three years ago,I was surprised at how lonely I felt.Then one of my classmates invited me to her house for a dinner (41).I was a little anxious,but finally I gladly (42).Not really knowing how (43)the bus ride should be,I (44)when I saw the landmarks (45)on my friend's hand﹣drawn map.But when I got close enough to the (46),I found none of the streets were shown on the map.I was (47)on a busy road with cars driving past without a person in sight.I had no (48)when the next bus would come,(49) when a bus did come by,I (50) got on.I told the bus driver where I wanted to go and he said that I had caught the (51)bus,but he let me stay on.After he had finished his scheduled bus route,he (52)to help me out.I gratefully showed him my little hand﹣drawn map but (53) did not help much.He finally (54)me off at a main road to catch a different bus and was (55) that he could not help me more.After a few minutes of walking,I noticed a bus pull up beside me.It was the (56)bus driver.He explained that he didn't want to leave me there (57).He sent out a call and someone radioed back,saying that the bus I needed to catch was about ten minutes away.At last I made it to the dinner party(58)I was over an hour late.I am forever thankful for the (59)that this bus driver had for me.His act of kindness left a(60)on my heart.41.A.meal B.party C.meeting D.time42.A.accepted B.refused C.got D.received43.A.far B.difficult C.long D.bad44.A.drove on B.walked away C.hurried by D.got off45.A.show B.showing C.shown D.to show46.A.street signs B.tall buildings C.traffic lights D.back yards47.A.queuing B.sitting C.standing D.waiting48.A.meaning B.idea C.problem D.way49.A.so B.yet C.but D.still50.A.suddenly B.luckily C.finally D.quickly51.A.right B.wrong C.best D.fastest52.A.supplied B.refused C.offered D.wanted53.A.it B.he C.she D.they54.A.kept B.dropped C.drove D.turned55.A.eager B.worried C.sorry D.disappointed56.A.same B.next C.kind D.silly57.A.helpless B.lonely C.unaccompanied D.alone58.A.after B.although C.until D.when59.A.respect B.concern C.sympathy D.love60.A.mark B.sign C.symbol D.line第二部分(共10小题;每小题 1.5分,满分15分)Before I came to England,I(61)________(read)about English customs.I knew that the money they used(62)_______(call)pounds and pence.It was quite (63)______ shock when I bought a newspaper at the airport,and the woman behind the counter said,"That'll be 2quid,love".I made a quick calculation and decided (64)_______ (hand )over two£1coins.Imagine my(65)_______ (relieve) when she said"Ta,love".I didn't know what that meant either,but at least she was smiling,so I must have got the money right.I soon learned that a"quid"is a pound.There are several(66)_______ (explain) for this,but the one I like(67)_______ (well) is that"quid"comes from"Quidhamptom Mill",(68)_______ used to.produce the special paper that pound notes were printed onJust when I thought I had got used (69)_______ English money,I saw the following advertisement in a local newspaper:"Wanted:Sales Clerk,London Area,£25k".I was totally(70)_______(confuse).I knew from my computer course that"k"meant"kilobyte".A few days later, a friend explained the mystery.The advertisement was not for a 25﹣kilobyte clerk,but for a clerk who would earn£25,000a year.短文改错It was on Sunday so I didn’t have to go to school as usually. My parents went to the countryside to see m grandparents, left me alone. After finishing my homework, I begin to play football at home. All of a sudden, I kicked the ball so hardly that it flew right onto a vase and broke it. It was great favorite of mymother’s.

Instead of punishing me, they just hoped that I would never make so a foolish mistake again.书面表达假如你是育才中学学生会主席李华,你校将举办一次英语演讲比赛,希望附近某大学外籍教师Smith女士来做评委。
