He couldn’t get it out. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later, the paper was still in the boy’s nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.So his mother took the boy to a hospital. The doctor looked up at the child’s nose, but she couldn’t get the paper out. She said she had to cut the boy’s nose to get the paper out.The boy’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. The next day she took the boy to her friend Sidney who lived in a house with an old lady called May. May wanted to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose.“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon.”As she spoke, she shook some black pepper on the child’s nose. The child gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told his mother to take the boy to the seaside for a swim, for the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.So the lucky boy didn’t have to go to the hospital to have his nose cut.36. After the boy pushed a paper ball into his nose, ____.A. he took it outB. his mother took it outC. he did nothing but cryD. he tried to take it out but failed37. The paper ball stayed in the boy’s nose for ____.A. at most seven daysB. less than seven daysC. more than seven daysD. exactly seven days38. According to the story, _____ was most worried about the boy’s accident.A. the boy’s motherB. SidneyC. MayD. the doctor39. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The doctor helped to take the paper ball out of the boy’s nose.B. May succeeded in taking the paper out.C. The boy’s mother found some black pepper to solve the problem.D. The boy had to have his nose cut at last.40. The boy should be taken to the seaside for a swim because ____.A. he needed to learn to swimB. the sea water would stop the bad smell of his nose.C. the sea water would wash out the paper ball.D. he needed a restBOne night last February, a seventeen-year-old Duffy drove home along a winding road, he saw a strange light thrown against the tree. “I knew it wasn’t the moon”, he said. “I drive this road all the time and I notice little things out of place.”Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine. Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken car with its headlights on. Thirty minutes earlier, a man had driven off the edge of the road, which has no guardrail. His car fell and rolled end over end, landing on its top more than two hundred feet below.Duffy rushed to call for help, then returned and got down to reach the injured driver. Snow covered the valley and the temperature was below freezing. After struggling back up the cliff, Duffy took off his jacket and shirt and wrapped the injured man in time, along with the blankets from his car.Life-saving deeds are starting to become usual action for Duffy, the oldest of seven children. When he was 12, he saved his ten-year-old brother from drowning. Two years ago, his three-year-old sister ate rat poison, and Duffy cleaned out her mouth, make her drink milk to protect her stomach and called doctors.“We have tried to teach the children good values, and it looks like we have got some reward for it.” His father says.41 The strange light came from ________.A. The bright moon.B. Duffy’s car.C. The broken car in the valleyD. an unknown place42. The phrase” landing on its top” means the car lay_________.A. on the top of the cliffB. with its wheels upwardC. with its head upwardD. on the road as usual43. Duffy wrapped the man because_________.A. he was badly injuredB. he had lost too much bloodC. he had nothing onD. it was too cold that day44. From the above article, we can see Duffy has saved ________ at least.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five45. “We have tried to teach the children good values” may probably mean Duffy’sparents often tell their children_________.A. to help people in dangerB. how to save people’s livesC. to remember the value of the carD. how to do businessCChinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical instrument or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So the parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack (缺乏) self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents aren’t teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It’s an enjoyable but difficult experiment.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually to finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines , such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him curious (好奇) and arouse his interest He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities aren’t merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.46. Parents in China, according to this passage, _________.A. are too strict with their childrenB. are too rich to educate their childrenC have some problems in educating their children correctlyD. are too poor to educate their children47. Generally speaking, children’s skills_______.A. come from their parentsB. have nothing to do with their educationC. may be differentD. have something to do with their marks in the exams48. The writer of this passage doesn’t seem to be satisfied with_______.A. the parents’ idea of educating their childrenB. the education systemC. children’s skillsD. children’s hobbies49. Doing some cooking at home helps children_________.A. learn how to serve their parentsB. learn how to become strong and fatC. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the futureD. make their parents believe that they are clever50. According to the last paragraph, we can conclude that_________.A. broken radios and television sets are usefulB. one’s curiosity may be useful for his later lifeC. an engineer must fix many broken radiosD. a good student should spend much time repairing radiosDDoctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories of loud music or other common sound at home and at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for little more than one second to be affected.An American scientist has found that using aspirin (阿斯匹林) increase the temporary (暂时的)hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment using a number of students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, then he tested their hearingability. He found that students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great.The scientist said millions of persons in the U.S. use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in his experiment. He said these persons face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.51. Doctors have long known that__________.A. one may lose his hearing when he hears a terribly loud noise.B. one may become deaf when he hears a loud noise.C. loud noises can cause damage to the hearing of the young people onlyD. common sounds at home are not harmful to the ear52. This passage suggests that one’s hearing________.A. will be damaged even if he has heard a loud noise for only little more than onesecondB. will be damaged even if he has heard a loud noise less than one secondC. will not be damaged if he has heard a loud noise for only little more than onesecondD. will not be damaged if he has little more than one second to get ready53. One conclusion you can draw from the passage is that aspirin________.A. makes hearing damage from loud noise worseB. should never be taken more than four gramsC. can damage one’s hearing when it is given more than four grams dailyD. always increases hearing loss by two times54. Millions of Americans are in danger of suffering hearing loss because they__________.A. take too much aspirinB. often take air tripsC. like listening to loud musicD. have too much loud noises at home and at work55. The American scientist did his experiment in order to find ________.A. how much aspirin would affect a person’s hearingB. how much aspirin should be given in the treatment of the patients with hearingdamage from loud noiseC. whether aspirin would increase the temporary hearing damage from loud noisesD. whether the people who had hearing damage should use aspirinEBreakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is also the most neglect (忽视). Common reasons for not eating breakfast include having no time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike and dieting.Breakfast simply means “break the fast’’. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie(卡路里)needs for the day. On average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t appeal (吸引) to you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in theevening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.If you still aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious (有营养的) mid-morning snack (小吃) later when you are hungry.So, you say you are on a diet. Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That is because your body is working correctly. Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in reality you are probably not.Not eating breakfast can also cause you overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slow state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently (有效). If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become hungry and stuff (填饱) yourself as soon as you begin to eat.Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right food is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals.56. What is the meaning of the word “fast” in the phrase “break the fast”?A. movementB. going without foodC. quicknessD. certain kind of food57. If you don’t want to have breakfast in the morning, according to the writer’s suggestion, you should________.A. see a doctor to have an examinationB. have a little supperC. go to a restaurant to enjoy a good mealD. have a good supper58. Eating breakfast, in fact, makes your body_________.A. work out of orderB. produce too much energyC. work wellD. feel hungry quicker59. Not eating breakfast will_________.A. save a lot of moneyB. do harm to your healthC. do good to your healthD. help you keep in shape60. In the last paragraph the writer mainly_________.A. persuades us to have a good breakfastB. tell us what food isn’t suitable for breakfastC describes when and how we should have our breakfastD .tell us what food we should have for breakfast五、书面表达以“Protect Wild Animals” 为题，写一篇100字左右的短文。

Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that.4．Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching?A．To impress his friends and relatives.B．To avoid the boredom of retirement.C．To start a new career as a concert pianist.D．To pursue a long-time passion for music. 5．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A．The author attended a concert of piano music.B．The author performed successfully despite a few errors.C．The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance.D．The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday.6．What does the author do with his piano now?A．He uses it for music lessons.B．He uses it for performance.C．He uses it for something unrelated to music.D．He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally.7．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Inner- directed and hardworking.B．Conventional and careless.C．Ambitious and kind-hearted.D．Lazy and pessimistic.When it comes to diatoms (硅藻类) that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis (光合作用) is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled are also building biomass by feeding directly on organic carbon in the ocean.These new findings could lead researchers to reduce their estimate of how much carbon dioxide diatoms pull out of the air via photosynthesis, which in turn, could take a much closer look at the understanding of the global carbon cycle, which is especially relevant given the changing climate. The new findings were published in Science Advances on July 17, 2024.The team showed that the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium, which is found in oceans around the world, regularly performs a mix of both photosynthesis and direct eating of carbon from organic sources such as plankton (浮游生物) . In more than 70% of the water samples the researchers analyzed from oceans around the world, the team found signs of simultaneous photosynthesis and direct organic carbon consumption from Cylindrotheca closterium. The team also showed that this diatom species can grow much faster when consuming organic carbon in addition to photosynthesis. Furthermore, the new research hinted at the possibility that specificspecies of bacteria are feeding organic carbon directly to a large percentage of these diatoms living all across the global ocean. This work is based on a genome-scale metabolic modeling approach that the team used to reveal the metabolism of the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium.The team’s new metabolic modeling data support recent lab experiments suggesting that some diatoms may rely on strategies other than photosynthesis to intake the carbon they need to survive, thrive and build biomass.The UC San Diego led team is in the process of expanding the scope of the project to determine how widespread this non-photosynthetic activity is among other diatom species. 8．What’s new according to the research?A．The way of the diatom’s carbon accumulation.B．The impact of climate on diverse sea plants.C．The procedure of exploring carbon.D．The system of building biomass.9．What do the new findings make researchers more focus on?A．The causes of climate change.B．The grasp of the carbon cycle.C．The bad effect of photosynthesis on diatoms.D．A rough estimate of the amount of carbon dioxide.10．What do we know from paragraph 3?A．A large number of diatoms may feed on bacteria.B．The diatom lives on plankton.C．Water samples are key factors for the research.D．Diatom species grow faster with sufficient sunlight11．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Photosynthesis in Diatoms B．Plankton’s Role in OceansC．New Carbon Strategies in Diatoms D．Advances in Modeling DataAccording to a report in 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that non-sugar sweeteners not be used as a means of achieving weight control or reducing the risk of diseases. The guideline came as a surprise. After all, the very purpose of non-sugar sweeteners-which contain little to no calories—is to help consumers control their weight and reduce their risk of disease by replacing sugar.In its report, the WHO cited evidence that long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners is associated with an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病) and death. How is it that non-sugar sweeteners are linked to the negative health effects they’re supposed to fend off?The WHO made its recommendation after reviewing hundreds of published studies. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of these studies are observational. In such studies, subjects tend to self-report their food intake, which might not guarantee inaccuracy. More importantly, observational studies cannot determine cause and effect. Are non-sugar sweeteners causing diabetes, or are people at risk of diabetes simply more likely to consume them? Lastly, there are numerous variables that researchers can’t possibly control for in these studies that could influence the results.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) tell a different story about non-sugar sweeteners. These studies control for variables by randomly assigning people to either a treatment or control group, and they can determine cause and effect. They show that sweeteners modestly benefit weight loss and help control blood sugar, without the negative effects seen in observational research. The downside of RCTs is that they are shorter in duration, often lasting just a few months. So negative effects could appear after longer use and we wouldn’t be able to tell from these RCTs.But we also can’t tell from observational studies, which only measure correlation and not causality (因果关系) . Changing the current situation might be hard, though. RCTs are expensive and require recruiting participants, setting up diet plans, and regularly measuring subjects’ health outcomes.For change to happen, it might need to start at the top, where science is funded Government agencies, which appropriate billions for research, should start prioritizing RCTs.12．What do the underlined phrase “fend off” probably mean in paragraph 2?A．Put out.B．Defend against.C．Keep up.D．Count on. 13．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The WHO’s suggestions on observational studies.B．The strategies to decide cause and effect in conducting studies.C．The significance of controlling variables in observational studies.D．The limitations of the observational studies in the WHO report.14．What is a feature of RCTs according to the text?A．They cost little B．They tend to last long.C．They can control variables and determine causality.D．They require participants to self-report related data15．How should the government help RCTs?A．By making appropriate plans B．By providing financial supportC．By raising people’s awareness of health D．By founding more related governmentagenciesTo make science’s stories more concrete and engaging, it’s important to use some effective strategies. Here are four of them. Put people in the storyScience’s stories often lack human characters. 16 . Characters can be also people affected by a scientific topic, or interested in learning more about it. Besides, they can be storytellers who are sharing their personal experiences.17People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. 18 . And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information. Include what people care aboutScientific topics are important, but they may not always be the public’s most pressing concerns. In April 2024, a polling company found that “the quality of the environment” was one of thelowest-ranked priorities among people in the US. The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. 19 . Tell science's storiesScientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. 20 . Think about all of a story’s characteristics - character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content - and how you might incorporate them into the topic.A．Explain science as a processB．Shoot attractive short science videosC．Scientists themselves can actually become ideal onesD．This practice is to stress why the content is importantE．You can tell growth stories of remarkable teenage scientistsF．Science communicators can emphasize how science is conductedG．You may as well borrow features from stories to strengthen your message二、完形填空In 2018, Molly Baker unfortunately lost her husband in a severe skiing accident. She was 21 . In the first several weeks after his passing, her friends and family 22 a great deal of support. But after a while, the cards and meals started to 23 . “People had to get back to their normal 24 .

V ail gathered the names of 31 of Baker's friends who wanted to help, and 26 each friend a particular day. Vail also gave Baker the names on the 27 , so Baker could know what to 28 each day.“And what that looked like for them was that on that day, they would reach out to me in some 29 ways—maybe via text, or a card,” Baker said.Looking back, Baker feels that Vail's 30 was essential to helping her cope with her husband's death, because she was 31 at that time.“A lot of people are really uncomfortable around 32 ,” Baker said. “So what they do is, instead of doing something, that they 33 do nothing. It was nice to have that ‘Calendar Girls’ setup.”Today, Baker tries to do something similar for her friends going through 34 .

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word；for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Agree to DisagreeI am old enough to remember running through the whipping rain to find a phone booth, only(21) ________ (get) cut off in the middle of the call because I ran out of change. I remember having posted hand-written letters home from overseas that would take two weeks to arrive.In comparison, the world of social media is truly a miracle. Free of charge, you (22)________ contact anybody, anywhere, anytime. Social media enables us to debate with people the world over. And this is a good thing in some aspects. In the market-place of ideas, you get to try on other people’s shoes and see (23) _______ the world looks like from their perspective. In the ’90s,experts predicted an end to historical conflict because people would become more open-minded and tolerant. But this is sadly not turning out to be the case. As psychologist Jonathan Haidt said in his article “The Coddling of the American Mind,” social media (24) _______ (create) people who are addicted to conflict and is driving polarization (分化).Because online disagreements are no longer being conducted between two people in an enclosed room, but are instead happening in a public space with thousands of onlookers, many debates have evolved into nothing more than a popularity contest--whoever walks away with the most “likes” (25) ________ (crown) the winner. People often say things they don’t believe in order to get more likes. (26) ________ sugar—the more likes you get, the better you feel.Meanwhile, social media algorithms (算法) reinforce an echo chamber (回音室). By (27) ________(expose) you to articles and videos similar in opinion to those you’ve clicked on before, they lure you down the rabbit hole (28) _______ the media you consume is reinforcing the opinions you already have.Many of us have probably got (29) _______(stick) in a heated debate over some controversial topic. This may not matter much if the conflict occurs between strangers. But when it comes to close family or friends, the result can be unpleasant. Many people find it really hard to feel close to their friends (30) _______ they have the same beliefs.My advice here is to bear in mind the following: You are entitled to your opinion; I just happen to think otherwise. So let’s agree to disagree.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. personallyB. readinessC. safeD. demonstrateE. ensureF. comfortableG. facilitateH. courageI. intensivelyJ. appreciateK. identityInspired Minds Think AlikeAs a researcher and storyteller about people who make a large positive impact on the world and what they do differently, I have seen that individuals who have the real “goods” to inspire others have something that other folks don’t. In fact, they __31__ several critical traits that enliven us, light a spark inside of us, and make us want to be better, stronger and bigger.*They have used all of themselves to make a differenceLook at the most popular TED talks that have gone viral and touched millions of people, and you will see people who struggled in their past but decided to use what they had __32__ experienced to learn more, dig deeper, and finally, help __33__ positive change for others. These inspirers have grown __34__ being totally authentic (本真的) and open about who they really are.They no longer worry about being rejected, scorned or put down. They have grown beyond feeling that they have to hide or suppress parts of themselves in order to be accepted. And it is their very __35__ to use all of themselves—openly and courageously—that inspires and encourages us to do the same.*They express love and appreciation openly, and have deep empathy for others Those who inspire us to be better are fully capable of experiencing empathy, and they openly express their ability to understand our personal “stories” and what we feel deep down. Instead of overprotecting us, they __36__ who we are inside. This makes us feel __37__ about revealing our more authentic selves to others and allows for us to even more fully broaden the definition and sense we have of our own __38__, all without having to worry about being embarrassed in the process. Love and acceptance is at the basis of what they do. Look at those who have made the biggest positive difference throughout history. Invariably, there is compassion and appreciation at that heart of who they are and what they stand for.*They believe in collective powerThose who inspire others believe in collective power so that positive change can happen more quickly. Their focus is not directed at __39__ or solely trying to build up their own wealth, power and influence. They want to see others rise, grow and expand. That’s what fuels them and motivates their actions, business, and growth strategies. In doing so, they can become wealthy, powerful and influential, but this is only a by-product of their focus, which is directed at expanding collective strength and power, while working to __40__ that whatever they do continues to make a positive impact on the world.Which of these traits inspires you most to be more of yourself?III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I imagine a young man, a senior in high school. His academic performance is good enough. However, just as his parents are about to send the ____41____ check to a college where he has been accepted, the young man admits that he doesn’t want to go to college. He wants to work, to earn a living, to be out on his own.Children have to build their own lives. But parents don’t want them to commit errors that will make it harder to build those lives. How should children and their parents think about this ___42____?College is often discussed as a(n)___43____ in the future: You pay up front so you can benefit abundantly for the rest of your life. The financial benefits of a college education over the past decades indeed look great. However, past performance won’t necessarily ensure future returns. To make the plots more ____44____, from 1989 to 2016, college tuition went up by 98 percent. This has led to a lot of student-loan debt.It may be worth the cost for some kids who want to go into a field that requires a college degree, but others don’t know what they want to do after college, so for them college is like buying an expensive ____45____for future employment. Still, it’s worth noting that in 2019, just66 percent of college graduates were in jobs requiring a college degree. What’s more, as of 2010, only 27 percent were in jobs related to their college major.Perhaps you don’t primarily use ___46___ analysis to make decisions about your life or your child’s. But everyone wants to be happy, and wants their child to be happy as well. So let’s look at the___47___ effects of college.Some scholars have found that, when controlling for other factors in life such as income and religious faith, education by itself has no independent explanatory ____48___ over happiness. Some actually believe that education is negatively linked to happiness, and hypothesize that some college attendees exchange life satisfaction for their academic ____49____. And there’s all that student debt to consider. According to a Gallup study, student debt is negatively correlated with financial and physical health and sense of purpose, and is ___50____ low well-being on these dimensions for as long as 25 years after graduation.____51____, the only thing we can say with assurance is, “It depends.” On what? On the unique ____52____ of each person. A child’s gifts, circumstances, and career ambitions all affect whether college is the right choice. Most of all, it depends on what they want to do. As a longtime academic, I can assure you that the No. 1 ____53____of a failure to thrive in college is not wanting to be there in the first place.That may be obvious to would-be students, but to many of their parents it isn’t. The college decision is often as much about the parents as it is about their kids. It’s easy to ____54____our own desires onto our kids—to try to see our own potential come alive through them.But it’s a mistake. No one can build a life alone—we all need help—but in the end, our lives are our own. Each of our lives is a start-up enterprise, and there is not just one path to success. The college-for-all fever that has overtaken much of our culture ____55___gifts that our kids have to develop and share. In fact, building their life with integrity and grit is what all parents could ever ask.41.A. security B. deposit C. information D. routine42.A. dilemma B. landscape C. consequence D. disappointment43.A. shelter B. investment C. prospect D. victory44.A. evident B. compelling C. complicated D. realistic45.A. insurance B. scam C. maintenance D. lesson46.A. trial-error B. question-answer C. cost-benefit D. pros-cons47.A. health B. society C. happiness D. education48.A. concern B. power C. favor D. advantage49.A. prejudice B. panic C. ambition D. unemployment50.A. applied to B. blamed on C. informed of D. associated with51.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.ATwo things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson that I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about no t having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room, a car for your birthday or a lavish sweet-16 party.” We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed — and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew — I knew — I had to have it.“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to he r. “What a neat basket.”I tried to hold off at first. I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer: “Mom, please can I please, please get it? I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say. I’ll do anything, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”I was desperate.“ You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thin g ever, “If you save up you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough it’ll be gone!”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike gu y.“He can’t hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please?”“There might be another wa y,” she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon....Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson I’ve taken with me through my life: “Hone y, your basket is6extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”56.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.The mother raised her children in an unusual way.B.The writer envied the daughters of the U.S. president.C.The writer’s parents shared the duty to bring up children.D.Managing budget is an effortless job to most housewives.57.By using “naked” (Paragraph 12), the author seems to stress that the basket was ________.A. well worth the effort she had madeB. the most valuable she had ever obtainedC. an unnecessary accessory to her bikeD. something the bike couldn’t do without58.To the author, it seemed to be a horrible turn of events that ________.A.the basket cost more than she had savedB.someone else had got a basket of the same kindC.her paying plan was spoiledD.a neighborhood girl bought a nicer bike59.What is the life lesson the author learned from her mother?A. Save money for a rainy day.B. Good advice is beyond all price.C. Earn your bread with your sweat.D.

With billions of people locked down at home, work and play were shifting online. Many hoped that the new normal would spark a huge productivity boom as firms digitized and workers spent less time commuting. The excitement was most evident in stockmarkets, where any firm related to this trend saw its share price surge. The tech-heavy NASDAQ rose by 88%.The craze has ended. Today the lockdown lunacy index 疯狂指数）—which includes Netflix, a streaming service; Peloton, a maker of fancy exercise bikes; Robinhood, a stock-trading app; Shopify, an e-commerce platform; and Zoom, a videoconferencing firm—has fallen by more than 80% from its peak.How worrying is this return to Earth? To be sure, some of it reflects gloomier prospects for the global economy. And it is disappointing that two years of digitization and remote work have not provided clear evidence of a productivity boom. Yet there are reasons still to be techno-optimistic. Much of the early enthusiasm may simply have been focused on the wrong types of firm. Though the pandemic darlings have fizzled, the shift towards ever greater（digitization continues. The true winners are not the flashy consumer-tech firms, but the companies that provide the infrastructure to enable this shift.Look beyond the boom and bust of consumer tech, and you see the real successes. The market for the infrastructure technology that underpins people’s daily lives, such as cloud computing, cybersecurity and digital payments, is booming. The cloud-computing industry is expected to grow to almost $500bn this year, up from $243bn in 2019. Amazon’s cloud offering, the largest in the world, is still growing at 33% each year. It accounted for three-quarters of the firm’s operating income over the past 12 months, and is supporting the tech giant’s ailing （困扰的）e-commerce business.Cloudification has created new demands for cybersecurity, another tech winner. The combined revenue at the three largest listed cybersecurity firms has almost doubled since the start of the pandemic. Their market capitalization has tripled, and has come down only a fraction since the start of the year. Digital payments are another bright spot, thanks to lockdowns and social distancing. Three-quarters of iPhone owners use Apple Pay, up from half in 2019, and nine out of ten American retailers now accept it as a payment method. Almost 200m people in India and China have used some form of digital payment for the first time since the onset of covid.The bubble may have burst on the pandemic’s darlings, but the drumbeat of digitization continues. The less obvious technologies that provide the underlying infrastructure for the shift are the true beneficiaries of covid. Whether these will fuel a productivity boost one day remains to be seen. But there was more going on during the pandemic than lockdown craze.63.According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Tech industry predicted a productivity boom in the lockdown, which proved true.B.The share prices of customer-tech companies sharply rocketed and then declined.C.Robinhood is a tech company specializing in meeting demands for cybersecurity.D.The prospects of the tech industry are too gloomy to be optimistic.64.What does the underlined word “fizzled” in paragraph 3 mean?A. emergedB. benefitedC. failedD. sustained65.What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs?A.Digital payment wasn’t available to Indians at all until the start of covid.B.In the past year, Amazon has mainly depended on its e-commerce business for profits.C.In the shift of working online, cloudification is no longer optional.D.The market capitalization of three largest listed cybersecurity firms has kept rising.66. What is the best title of the article?A.Techno-pessimists Rule the LockdownB.The Lockdown Index Sounds the AlarmC.Economic Depression Is ArrivingD.Tech Losers and Winners of the PandemicSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.In other words, exercise does not directly affect creative thinking.B.They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days.C.Through exercise, people tend to feel refreshed and focused on what they’re doing.D.Creativity is an innate ability, which can be brought out to its full potential with sufficientexercise.E.In people, too, exercise improves our moods and tends to sharpen our abilities to reasonand remember.F.This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greaterinfluence on creativity.Can Exercise Make You More Creative?If you often exercise, there is a good chance you also tend to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. The study, which was published in Scientific Reports, finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness than people who are relatively sedentary.Science already offers plenty of evidence that physical activity influences how we think. Many studies on people and animals show that our brains change in response to physical activity, in part because during exercise we marinate (浸泡) our brains with extra blood, oxygen and nutrients. In rodent (啮齿动物) studies, animals that regularly exercise produce far more new brain cells than sedentary counterparts, even if they are elderly. (67) ________However, creativity is one of the most abstract of thinking skills, and its relationship with exercise has not been clear. Some past research had speculated that good moods might be the intermediary linking activity and creativity. According to that idea, moving makes people happier, and their good cheer in turn stimulates their creativity. (68) ________To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity in the first place, researchers at the University of Graz in Austria tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. (69) ________ Then they asked them to visit the lab and let their imaginations soar, conceiving new uses for car tires and umbrellas and finishing partial drawings. The researchers then rated their output on its originality and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods.Crosschecking the data, the scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative, especially if they often walked or exercised moderately. Active people also tended to be in high spirits, although their moods were highest if they engaged in vigorous activities, rather than moderate ones. However, the correlations between activity, creativity and moods were slight. (70) _________The study was associational, though, meaning that it looked at a brief moment in people’s lives. It did not involve a randomized experiment and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity, if not by raising moods, or show whether a brisk walk now helps。

高三上学期英语9月月考试卷一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）1. 阅读理解Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are RealDangerWe are having a debate aboutthis topic. Here are some letters from our readers.■ Yes, many cyclists behavedangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians areprobably the worse offenders.People of all ages happily walkalong the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unawareof what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossinga road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade themor just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.The real problem is that somepedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own thatare, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.—Michael Horan■ I loved the letter from BobBrooks about cyclists . I am afraid they seem to think theyown the roads.I was walking acrossAltrincharn Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being askedwhat he was doing he shouted at me.The government built a cyclelane on the road but it is hardly used.The police do nothing. What alaugh they are!The cyclists should all have tobe made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent jacketand tights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and befined for not wearing them.—Carol Harvey■ Cyclists jump on and offpavements , ride at speed along the pavements,and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they areon red.I was almost knocked down recentlyby a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next tohim.Other road users, includinghorse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?It’s about time they had to beregistered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or causean accident, at least they can be traced and there might be anopportunity to claim.—JMLWrite to Viewpoints of thenewspaper.（1）Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that .A . drivers should be polite to cyclistsB . road accidents can actually be avoidedC . some pedestrians are a threat to road safetyD . walking while using phones hum one’s eyes（2）Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should .A . be provided with enough roadsB . be asked to ride on their own lanesC . be made to pay less tax for cyclingD . be fined for laughing at policemen （3）The underline word “they” in the third letter refers to .A . accidentsB . vehiclesC . pedestriansD . cyclists（4）The three letters present viewpoints on .A . real sources of road dangerB . ways to improve road facilitiesC . measures to punish road offencesD . increased awareness of road rules2. 阅读理解According to the International EcotourismSociety, eco-travel is “responsible travel to natural areas that protectsthe environment, maintains the well-beings and involves education”.Eco-travel is on the rise, as more and more people become conscious about theircarbon footprint.Expert from Boundless Journeys,Matt Holmes, who works-on travel experiences towards conserving areas said,”As scientists and non-scientists learn more about how we human beings areimpacting the planet, I think more people want to do what they can while stillexploring the world. Our guests are definitely interested in that aspect of ourjourneys. Travelers can farm their own food in Italy, managing their use ofwater and using solar or wind power. They can also visit n family-run camp thatcares for retired logging elephants in Myanmar, know a park entry fee goes to aconservation organization in Costa Rica, employ and train members of the localcommunity or partner with a protection group. There are lots of options forseeking out greener holiday.”Most people believe thateco-travel is expensive and it is true. Mattexplained “Anti-poachingpatrols need to be paid, solar energy equipment costs a lot to install,building with environmentally friendly, materials is more expensive and so on.The extra cost is necessary, as yo u’re paying to minimize your footprint andprotect the places you visit, which is exactly what eco-travel is about. Thefinancial success and sustainability of an eco-focused operation doesn’t come from thin air.” The industry is trying tomake eco-travel affordable and make it accessible to the common people.（1）What is the positive influence of eco-friendly travel?A .

In a victory of green businessthat is certain to appeal toenvironmentally-aware music-lovers, a design studentis to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboardthat can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such asGlastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events eachyear. For his final year project at the University of the West of England,James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with theBritish summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from aJapanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings includingchurches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he calledMyhabs.The design won an award at theannual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his productdesign degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, hetoured the City’s private companies which fund new businesses and found asupporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directorsand w on their support. Mint has committed around ￡500,000 to MyHab and taken ashare of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should betested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that thedesign, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as fordisaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboardhouses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team beforethe festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can bepersonalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if peopleagree to sell exterior advertising space.The biggest festivals attracttens of thousands of participants, with Glastonhury having some 150,000 eachyear. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people campin the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.（1）”Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents .A . economically desirableB . favorable to the environmentC . for holding music performancesD . designed for disaster relief（2）Mr. Dunlop established his business .A . independently with an interest-free loan from MintB . with the approval of the City’s administrationC . in partnership with a finance groupD . with the help of a Japanese architect（3）It is implied in the passage that .A . the weather in the UK. is changeable in summerB . most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC . the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD . cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users（4）The passage is mainly concerned with .A . an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB . some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC . an unusual success of a graduation projectD . the effectsof using cardboard tents on music festivals4. 阅读理解Sports accounts for a growing amount ofincome made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Manytelevision companies have used sports to attract views from particular sectionsof the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sportsprograms for the major U.S. media company is that events are often held onSaturday and Sunday afternoons — the slowest time periods of the week for generaltelevision viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs,especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other timesduring the week. This means the television networks are able to selladvertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be deadtime for programming. Media corporations also use sports to attract commercialsponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if televisionstations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertisingdepartments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers.They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men makefamily decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are specialcases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and theratings areunusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certainadvertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in theUnited States, including many lawyers andbusiness managers. This is whytelevision reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies sellinghigh-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This isalso why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of lowratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-incomeconsumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of”company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don’tneed high rating s to stay on the air.（1）Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A . Because there would be few viewers.B . Because the advertisers would be off work.C . Because television programs would go slowly.D . Because viewers would pay less for watching television.（2）In many families, men make decisions on .A . holiday tripsB . sports viewingC . television shoppingD . expensive purchases（3）Why are the ratings not important for golf and tennis programs?A . Because their advertisers are carmakers.B . Because their viewers are attracted by sports.C . Because their advertisers target at rich people.D . Because their viewers can afford expensive cars.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A . Television ratings are determined by male viewers.B . Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C . Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D . Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors ofsport events二、任务型阅读5. 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。

You may be thinking you can’t believe in music. This is true but you can believe in the feelings and emotions music gives you.
Every weekday is the same for me. I wake up at 6:00;I work from when I get there to 3:15 on Mondays and Wednesdays and 4:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The only thing that keeps me wise all day is music in any form. On days when either the radio got wet from the hose(水龙带)or got dropped or stolen, I have my iPad with me. In between my destinations in my truck I plug my iPad into the tape cassette adapter and play it. When I’m at school, none of my teachers care if we listen to music as long as we don’t let it become a distraction(分散注意力的事),so I have my iPad there too.

There is a trail closure in effect on the North Kaibab Trail and it will officially reopen on June 16, 2023.1．Which was not affected and opens as usual?A．The public laundry.B．The Grand Canyon Lodge.C．The North Kaibab Trail.D．The North Rim Visitor Center.2．What can we learn about the North Kaibab Trail from the text?A．It offers food service.B．It is around Jacob Lake.C．It is under repair now.D．It opens all the year around.3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To warn visitors of the oncoming landslide.B．To inform visitors of schedules of some attractions.C．To appeal to more visitors to the Grand Canyon National Park.D．To advertise the products of the Grand Canyon National Park.It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days.When winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers (自由职业者), and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none. I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew — what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing?Whether through choice or circumstance, the number of freelancers is rising and, if you’re just starting out, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes.You can’t feel half-hearted about what you do because, at some point, you’re going to have painful days. When that happens, you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place. Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about.Setting up a business is tough. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you. Look after yourself. There is no sick pay when you are self-employed. You can’t do a bad day’s work and blame it on your boss. You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Rest regularlyand find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard.Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better. 4．What does the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Pleasant.B．challenging.C．Awful.D．Boring.5．What bothered the author when winter came?A．The cold weather influenced her working performance.B．She eventually realized freelancing wasn’t to her taste.C．Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety.D．She couldn’t even earn enough to meet daily basics.6．According to the author, why should we quit for a new job?A．To escape from the current pain.B．To satisfy our temporary interests.C．To explore where our strength lies.D．To pursue what we really desire. 7．What’s author’s probable attitude towards becoming freelancers?A．Critical.B．Favorable.C．Cautious.D．Unclear.“Why does grandpa have ear hair?” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fiun to learm.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong?My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C．Keil details the development of wonder — a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They aresensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.8．What is a common problem among fourth graders?A．They upset their parents too often.B．They ask too many strange questions.C．Their love for fun disappears quickly.D．Their desire to learn declines sharply. 9．What can be inferred about children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4?A．They control children’s sensitivity.B．They slightly change in early childhood.C．They hardly support children’s reasoning.D．They develop through children’s questioning. 10．How can parents support children’s ongoing wonder according to Keil?A．By monitoring their games.B．By welcoming inquiring minds.C．By estimating their abilities.D．By providing reasonable conclusions. 11．What is the text?A．A book review.B．A news report.C．A research paper.D．A children’s story.Uninvited opinions about someone’s marriage, their constant failures or whatever just happened in the bathroom are all clues you’ve got an Oversharer on your hands. Whether they’re telling too much or asking for details you’re not comfortable sharing, this all-too common persona has no boundaries.“The discomfort you feel comes from a difference of standards about what topics of conversation are OK,” says Wisner. “What they consider to be acceptable, need-to-know information is different from what it is for you.”At the same awkward time, the Oversharer is only trying to get closer to you by revealingmore about themselves — and hoping you’ll do the same. “We tend to label these people as overly-curious, invasive(侵入的) or rude,” notes Gerber, “but they really just want to be liked and accepted.”To satisfy the Oversharer, and meanwhile reject endless TMI (too-much-information), consider sharing something else — still personal but less invasive — that satisfies their urge to connect. When they really cross the line, don’t be shy. Say something that indicates your boundary is being crossed. But you don’t have to declare them to be rude or insist them change their ways immediately. “OMG, that’s private!” says everything, and you’ll never have to bring it up again.A compliment (称赞) also works wonders with an Oversharer, adds Gerber, because it refocuses the conversation in their direction while subtly resetting your boundary.To my nosy friend who asks me when I plan to have a baby, for example, I will give this wise response next time: “You made having kids look so easy! How’d you do it?” Then nod and smile, nod and smile. Maybe I won’t have another baby in this life, but at least I’ll be ready to face an Oversharer — or any of the challenging people it takes to make a world.12．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．Shaping the image of an Oversharer.B．Stressing the importance of boundaries.C．Identifying the clues of an unpleasant talk.D．Presenting different opinions about sharing.13．Why are Oversharers so interested in talking about private issues?A．They want sympathy from others.B．They see it as a way to break the ice.C．They are curious about others’ sufferings.D．They long for closer connections with others.14．What is suggested if Oversharers cross your line?A．Ignore their comments.B．Demanding an apology.C．Declaring your boundaries.D．Criticizing their rudeness.15．What is the purpose of the author’s response in the last paragraph?A．To check her friend’s boundary.B．To show admiration for her friend.C．To learn from her friend’s experience.D．To shift the topic to her friend’s direction.As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. 16 This lies at the heart of “experiential (由经验得来的) appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn.To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you’re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. 17As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. 18 Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.19 After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. 20 So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.A．Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating.B．It extends learning far beyond textbooks.C．Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it.D．Mind the impact of your actions on the environment.E．Take your experiences further by reflecting on them.F．Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles.G．These activities bring learning to life.二、完形填空Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree.

Football, as it often is, became an escape.At seven, she was spotted by coach Xu Yilong, who found Wang quick in her playful behaviour. As the only girl in the boys’ team, Wang’s performances were impressive, earning her the nickname “Iron Girl.” And soon, she sensed the sport’s power. Football allowed her to “release herself” and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone.”However, life was never smooth sailing. The constant jibes (嘲讽) from some people, who always tried to push her down and destroy her h opes, affected her so deeply that she lost confidence.” They were saying I had no talent at all. Gradually, I felt really so. “Wang once wrote. But never did she stop playing. When she was called up to the national team, aged 17,Wang thought, “Me? Are you sure?” When a world-famous club wanted to sign her, she was “excited that an excellent coach thought I was good.” It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. “I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all.”Not any “bit of talent”; the genius is praised as China’s once-in-a-generation player.China is a pioneer of women’s football in Asia and has won the continental championship eight times, including seven straight titles between 1986 and 1999.That was their golden age. Gradually, though, the dynasty declined. It is hoped that Wang will inspire the women’s football of the country to its former height.Coaches are almost always hesitant to speak about individual players. But when coach Shui was asked about Wang before the match ag ainst Vietnam, she couldn’t stop mentioning her influence on the team. Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down. When they lacked a quality ball, she delivered two high assists that finally led her team into the last-four clash (交锋).“Nobody knows how hard it was,“ declared Wang after the match. “We overcame difficulties. We also showed our strong spiritual power. I am proud of my team.”4. What can we infer about Wang from the second paragraph?A．She earned a living on her own. B．She felt the power of sports.C．She was laughed at by the boys. D．She found a sense of belonging5. How did Wang regain faith in her abilities?A．By winning recognition. B．By getting encouragement.C．By playing in the national team. D．By ignoring o ther people’s jibes.6. Which would best describe coach Shui’s attitude to Wang?A．Caring. B．Unwilling. C．Favorable. D．Demanding7. What’s the best title for the text?A．Wang Shuang: A Steel Rose B．Wang Shuang: A Child GeniusC．Wang Shuang: A Football Pioneer D．Wang Shuang: A Golden Age Successor·It is reported that endangered polar bears are breeding (繁殖) with grizzly bears (灰熊), creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change.As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids (杂交种).With characteristics that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, hybrids aren’t better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources,” Larisa DeSantis, a n associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears’ decline: their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linke d partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears’ ranges, where they outcompete them, but also to polar bears’ highly specialized diets.“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point for their survival.” Actually, the calories they gain from these source s do not balance out those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.“We’re having massive impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “pizzly” bears could be a sad but necessary compromise given current warming trends.”8. Why are polar bears moving further south?A．To create hybrids. B．To expand ranges.C．To contact grizzlies. D．To relieve hunger.9. What enables “pizzly” bears to adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents?A．Broader habitats. B．Climate preference.C．More food options. D．Improved breeding ability.10. What does the underlined phrase “a tipping point” in paragraph 5 refer to?A．A rare chance. B．A critical stage.C．A positive factor. D．A constant change.11. What’s the main idea of the text?A．Polar bears are changing diets for climate change.B．Polar bears have already adjusted to climate change.C．“Pizzly” bears have replaced polar bears for global warming.D．“Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.The rechargeable lithium-ion (锂离子) battery market is worth more than ＄50 billion. Lithium-ion batteries, whose demand continues to go up day by day, are used in a wide range of electronic devices. They are made of four main components, and cathode (阴极) is one of them. The cathode’s active material type is what determines the capacity of a battery.A recent study, led by Wang Yan, a material scientist of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, finds that lithium-ion batteries made with recycled cathodes work better than those with new cathodes. “The battery industry is expected to grow sharply in the next decade. This high demand has led companies to go to extremes, like increasing deep-sea mining, to gain access to the minerals used in lithium-ion batteries,” Wang said. “Mining minerals will have environmental impacts. Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries offers a way out.”But until now, the prospect of using recycled materials in lithium-ion batteries has some manufacturers (制造商) worrying that it could impact performance. Thus, lithium-ion batteries are still not widely recycled. Aware of decreasing resources and environmental impact, Wang and other researchers set out to find a way to make recycling lithium-ion batteries economically practical. Through experiments, they could recover more than 90% of the key metals from spent batteries. These recovered m etals became the basis of the new recycled battery’s cathode’s active material.In tests between Wang’s team’s recycled batteries and brand-new batteries of the same composition, the recycled batteries outperform the new ones in their ability to maintain capacity. It took 11,600 charge cycles for recycled cathode batteries to lose 30 percent of their original capacity. That was about 50 percent better than the 7,600 observed cycles for new cathode batteries, the team reported.

高三英语上学期9月月考试题含解析 试题(共31页)
应县第一中学2021届高三英语(yīnɡ yǔ)上学期9月月考试题〔含解析〕第一局部：阅读理解〔一共20小题；每一小题3分，满分是60分〕第一节：阅读以下短文，从所给各题的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最正确选项AHave you ever had one of those days when all you wanted to do was read an emotionally powerful story that would cause you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plenty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.1. The Kite RunnerThis realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.2. The Book ThiefLet’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and makes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.3. The Fault in Our StarsThis is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health worsen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main characters, who know that their romance is fruitless.4. A Child Called “It〞Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel family. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration tied to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is believed worthless.1. What do the four books have in common?A. They are all about cruel wars.B. They all probably make you cry.C. They are all about suffering children.D. They are all adapted from true stories.2. Which book is about a young victim whose family treated him cruelly?A. The Kite RunnerB. A Child Called “It〞C. The Fault in Our StarsD. The Book Thief3. The passage is intended to __________.A. advise us to buy some booksB. inspire us to read moreC. explain why we love readingD. introduce some moving books【答案(dá àn)】1. B 2. B 3. D【解析(jiě xī)】本文是一篇说明文。

The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for dealing with stress．Try physical activityWhen you arc nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercises or physical activity．Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden arc just some of the activities you might try．Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest．If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or you're not eating properly, it will more likely that you will fall into stressful situation．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor．Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment．Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work- You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．Go window-shopping or work on a hobby．Allowing yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you en Joy．Make a list of the things you need to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there's so much to do, and not enough time"．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieving anything．Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important tasks first．Section B （10 marks）Directions : Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．How we look and how we appear to others probably worry us more when we arc in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life．Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion．Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner．If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment．Changing fashion, of course, docs not apply just to dress．A barber today docs not cut a boy's hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did．The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we arc constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we arc odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion．Take hats for example- In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside．In recent times, he late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example．There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion．In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable．After World War H , they dropped to ankle length．Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion．After a few more years, skirts became longer again．Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be．It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else．Within reason, you can dress as you tike or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion．The popularity of jeans and the "untidy" look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses．81．What do the fashion magazines or TV advertisements claim to bring us? （No more than 2 words）82．Why does the writer take President Kennedy as an example? （No more than 14 words）83．What does the writer try to explain by talking about short skirts? （No more than 8 words）84．Why are jeans so popular according to the writer? （No more than 10 words）SectionC（25 marks）Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese．毕业前夕，你班决定给李老师送一份礼物，大家提出了各种建议，比如：（1）送影集（album），里面有每个同学的照片；（2）送磁带，录有每个同学对老师的祝福等等。

A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smart phones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle ,increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的).The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smart phones and tablet computers has surged.“Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institute Armand-Frappier Research Centre, in a statement.Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’ bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep.Many studies have warned about the potential (潜在的) negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness.Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform, plans to introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12,iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” (逐渐关闭) option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed.1. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2?A. Increased suddenlyB. Decreased slowly.C. Stayed the same.D. Lost the balance.2. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior?A. By changing the time they eat.B. By changing their taste for food.C. By influencing how fast they eat.D. By influencing their feeling of fullness.3. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’ s study?A. It affected children’s sleep.B. It led to children’s obesity.C. It resulted in diet problems.D. It negatively influenced moods.4. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem?A. Reduce its products’ battery life.B. Provide a screen time feature.C. Introduce “digital well-being” tools.D. Add a “wind down” option to its products.5. What is the text type of the passage?A. Narration（记叙文）B. Argumentative Essay.（议论文）C. Expository Writing. (说明文)D.

An old farmer was driving his horses to the barn (牲口棚) when he heard a voice saying, “Excuse me, sir. May I sleep in your barn tonight?” It was from a young soldier called Jack. Quietly standing there, tired and cold, he was waiting for an answer. But the old farmer said rudely, “No, I don’t want anybody like you to stay in my barn. You had better go away.”Jack sadly turned away, wondering where he would go next. Suddenly he felt a light tap on his shoulder. It was the young boy who had been working for the old farmer. The boy said, “I know where you can get help. Just go down this road to the first little cabin you come to. There lives Mrs. Smith, who is very kind and is always willing to help those who need it.” Oh, what warmth filled Jack’s heart, “Thank you very much!” There was at least somebody who cared about him. He quickly reached the cabin and gently knocked on the door. The door opened and the lady inside said, “Good evening. Were you looking for me?”Jack answered, “Are you Mrs. S mith? I was told that you might offer a place to a homeless poor soldier for a night’s stay.” She said, “Sure! Do come in! You look as though you are nearly frozen.” Mrs. Smith shared her simple meal with Jack in the warm room. Then with a thankful heart , he went to sleep on a pile of clean hay Mrs. Smith had prepared for him.The next morning, the kind woman cooked him a warm breakfast. She also gave him a small sum of money to help him travel farther. As he left her house, he thanked her for her kindness, and she prayed for him.Ten years went by and no one remembered what had happened on that cold windy night except one person.Paragraph 1：One morning Mrs. Smith received a letter inviting her to come to London. _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ________________Paragraph 2：Mrs. Smith's heart was filled with wonder and she burst into tears._________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________答案一、阅读理解（本题共计1小题，总分15分）1.（15分）1.

Actually, the retail (零售) giant has to draw the line on some products. Here are the items you’ll have to find elsewhere.PetsThankfully, you cannot expect to purchase the family pet on Amazon. Pets, livestock, and marine mammals are strictly prohibited from being sold on the site and with good reason— primarily being that none of these should be kept in a warehouse awaiting an order. If you’re prepared to adopt an animal, one option is to search Petco’s listing of adoptable pets in your area. And, of course, rescuing an animal from a local shelter will do a world of good for both your family and its newest member.Lottery (彩票)ticketsMost of us wouldn’t turn down an opportunity to strike it rich, but you’re still going to have to wait in line if you want to score a lottery ticket. On Amazon’s list of prohibited items are lottery tickets. Rules and regulations about selling lotto tickets vary by state and merchants must apply to become a retailer of lottery tickets. For example, the California Lottery asks that potential sellers have more than 200 customers daily, be able to accommodate official lottery equipment, and be in a retail setting like a grocery or gas station, among others.TobaccoYou can find a variety of things for a smoking habit, like ashtrays, pipes, and cigarette paper, on Amazon, but don’t expect to find any actual tobacco products. E-cigarettes, regardless of whether or not they contain nicotine, are also a no-no on the site. It would simply be boring for the company to check the age of buyers ordering tobacco products online.( )21. Why is there a ban on selling pets on Amazon?A. Because selling pets on the Internet is illegal in the world.B. Because animals can’t be put in the storehouse to sell.C. Because it’s not safe to buy animals on the Internet.D. Because animals can only be bought from local shelters.( )22. What can you do if you want to buy a lottery ticket?A. Accommodate official lottery equipment yourself.B. Apply to become a retailer of lottery tickets yourself.C. Queue at a lottery ticket store to get one on the spot.D. Live a life yourself near a grocery store or gas station.( )23. What can you buy on Amazon according to the text?A. E-cigarettes.B. Marine mammals.C. Lottery equipment.D. Cigarette paper.3.（8分）BI took a motor rickshaw to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didn’t speak much English, but understood “Belapur Railway Station”. I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through terrible traffic.I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a train in India. I wanted to go to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride. The prices still blow me away.When the train came after 15 minutes or so, I got on with all speed, as the train only stops for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me. He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play the tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow — I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I know what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly-competitive environment.The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.( )24. Which of the following best explains the author’s feeling of riding in a motor rickshaw?A. Relaxed.B. Courageous.C. Frightened.D. Excited.( )25. Why did so many people stare at the author at the station?A. Because he was carrying a strange instrument.B. Because his suitcase was too large for him.C. Because he was a foreigner to the local people.D. Because he couldn’t understand what they said.( )26. What do we know about the young man mentioned in the passage?A. He wanted to learn to play tabla from the author.B. He was a student on the way to a university.C. He was a genuine and helpful university student.D. He wished to find a job in Tilak Nagar.( )27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Traveling Is the Most Memorial TimeB. A Warm-hearted Indian Student I MetC. I Learn to Play the Tabla in IndiaD.

That’s why World Bee Day exists to educate people about the importance of bees and how they can help preserve them for the sake of the future. If you want to help save these fuzzy insects from extinction, then read down below to learn more about what World Bee Day is about!World Bee Day corresponds (相一致) with an important influencer in the pioneering of beekeeping. Anton Jansa, who in the 18th century pioneered modern beekeeping techniques in his native Slovenia, was one of the first people to help bring about the importance of bees in the world environment. Since then, beekeeping has become a vital necessity in the world’s ecosystems and economic systems. However, not many people realize the importance of bees or know how to help save the bees, which led to the announcement of World Bee Day through the United Nations.The United Nations set World Bee Day to raise awareness of the importance of bees. Because bees are under a continuous threat from human activity, including the introduction of invasive insects, pesticides and land-use change, which has continuously been destroying bee colonies (蜂群) over time. World Bee Day helps educate people about the importance of bees and what they do for the environment, which includes how they help grow 90% of theworld’s wildflower plants, 35% of the world’s crops, and help build ecosystems all over the world. With these statistics, the United Nations has created various programs all over the world to increase awareness of protecting bees and what you can do to help this cause.If you’re looking for a way to help raise awareness of bee endangerment, then share and spread the news about World Bee Day through social media. If you’re wanting to do more, find a charity that goes towards bee conservation and donates through there. Start a garden and place in a wide arrangement of fruits, vegetables, and flowers that you know bees would like.( )28. What’s the purpose of setting up World Bee Day?A.To prove that bees are now endangered.B.B. To teach people ways of protecting bees.C.To show the meaning of the scarce bees.D. To warn people of the danger of bees.( )29. What can we know about Anton Jansa?A. He was the first to keep bees in his motherland Slovenia.B. He used a brand-new technique to keep bees in the 19th century.C. He made people know the importance of bees in the environment.D. He helped people know the ways to help to save the bees exactly.( )30. Why are the statistics mentioned in the third paragraph?A. To show the number of the world’s wildflower plants is big.B. To prove that bees are important to build ecosystems.C. To help people understand the necessity of World Bee Day.D. To have readers know what to do to protect the bees.( )31. What can we do to help preserve bees?A. Present colorful pictures of bees on social media.B. Share the news of kinds of bees that are dying out.C. Raise and donate money for bees with your friends.D. Build a garden with many plants in it.5.（8分）DBefore you start feeling regretful about eating too much, consider a new study from theCenter for Nutrition Research at Illinois Institute of Technology that suggests the fat in avocado (鳄梨) can help you prevent hunger and stay more satisfied longer.The study was published in the journal Nutrients on May 8, 2019. It concludes that overweight people who added avocado to their meals as a substitute for carbohydrates (碳水化合物) like cola were able to stave off hunger longer and increase meal enjoyment. On three different days, researchers fed 31 overweight adults one of three meals with the same calories;a high-fat meal with one avocado, a high-fat meal with half an avocado, or a low-fat meal. For six hours afterward, the volunteers reported how hungry they felt.Everyone reported feeling fuller longer after the meal featuring a whole avocado; even the meal with half an avocado helped satisfy the volunteers longer than the low-fat meal. Further tests revealed that the avocado meals helped improve an intestinal (肠的) hormone called PYY—when it drops, you feel hungry.“For years, fats have been targeted as the main cause of obesity, and now carbohydrates have come under scrutiny (监视) for their role in appetite regulation and weight control,” said Britt Burton-Freeman, PhD, director of the Center for Nutrition Research at Illinois Tech. “There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution when it comes to best meal composition for managing appetite. However, understanding the relationship between food chemistry and its physiological (生理的) effects in different populations can reveal opportunities for addressing appetite control and reducing rates of obesity, putting us a step closer to personalized dietary recommendations.”Although nutritional experts have long blamed fat for weight gain, more and more studies like this one indicate that eating a proper amount of healthy fat can help prevent hunger and assist with weight control. This study proves that small, enjoyable changes in your diet like swapping a piece of bread for a yummy half-avocado can lead you to achieve your weight-loss goals.( )32. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 2?A. Feel.B. Delay.C. Stand.D. Hold.( )33. Who will feel hungry latest according to the passage?A.The one who had lunch with an avocado.B.B. The one who had a meal with low fat.C.The one who has a low PYY level.D.D.

Here’s everything you need to know to stay hydrated.Know why water is good for youDoctors and dietitians always talk about the importance of hydration. The cells, tissues, and organs of your body need water to function. 36 , which include transporting nutrients and helping to remove waste. Water is so important that the average human body only lasts about three to four days without it._37There is no perfect calculation to determine how much water you should drink a day. There are too many contributing factors, such as altitude, climate, activity level, diet, and personal medical history. 38 , your body needs more fluid to process the food.So how much water should you drink a day? On average the daily recommended fluid intake for women is around 11 glasses of water and 13 glasses for men. Plain water is ideal for hydration, but all fluid helps.Know whether you need waterAn easy way to see if you are drinking enough water is to check your urine (尿液). If you are only producing small amounts of urine infrequently and it’s dark in color, you need to drink more water. Of course, if you have dry mouth or thirst, you should drink more water,too. 39 .Know how you can drink enough waterWorrying and wondering how much water you should drink a day won’t happen if you break up your water intake. Drink 18 ounces of water at 7:00 a. m., 12:00 p. m., 3:00 p. m., and 7:00 p. m. 40 . By the time you’re thirsty, you’re likely already dehydrated. And thirst isn’t always a reliable indicator of fluid needs, especially in children and the elderly.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）7.（30分）Even in tough times the things and people you love can help you escape.As I 41 here in my hot, uncomfortable hospital bed, all I can think about is how 42I want to leave this place.

But a clean er who works in the T ate Gallery in London isn’t able to tell the difference. The woman, whose name isn’t known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too damaged to be put on show again. 78-year-old Mr Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary and “finite” .Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr Metzger would be paid any compensation for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr Metzger’s work every evening with a colored cloth. In this way the cleaners arriving after the gallery had closed to the general public would realize they should not touch it.This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, acleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and overflowing ashtrays, which were meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.However, cleaners don’t always throw things away—sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaners simply scrubbed it clean.（1）What’s the best title of the passage?A . Cleaners mistake modem art for rubbishB . Modem art sho uldn’t be cleanedC . What makes a great work of artD . Cleaners don’t always throw things away（2）The officials of the museum covered Mr Metzger’s work so that .A . the visitors couldn’t get close in the eveningB . they could get recovered soonC . the cle aners wouldn’t make the same mistakeD . they would return to normal（3）Which of the following is NOT true?A . People have different opinions on modem artB . Mr Metzger would be paid much compensationC . A work of Damien Hirst was thrown away by a cleaner in 2001D . Some modem work is about artists’ chaos of their life （4）The last paragraph is written to show that .A . cleaners often make exhibits as clean as possibleB . cleaners can’t always differ exhibits from rubbishC . exhibits are usually difficult to cleanD . exhibits are not always so beautiful4. 阅读理解Do you want to make a difference in your community?
