They had cleaned yards, set tables, and washed dishes. They couldn’t wait to go shopping. I watched as they rushed in the supermarket aisles (过道). At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with food. Then Kristine cried. “Flowers!” The group rushed toward the plants.“You can’t eat flowers.” I responded. “Why not us e the money to buy more food ” “But Mrs Sherlock.” she begged. “we want flowers.”Defeated, I looked at the flowers. Stuck in the middle of the display was a pot of purple flowers. “She’ll like this one,” the children agreed, and put the purple plant into the cart.An agency had given us the address of a needy grandmother. Soon we pulled up in front of a small house. The children hurried to get the food. When Amy put the flowers on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. “Do you like it ” Michael asked. Th e old lady brightened. She told the children about the animals that lived close by.We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, straight to the flowers. She put her face in them.

The three pieces already released were all written with ink, according to the Nanchang Evening News.Based on the analysis by Zhang Yuzheng, an expert at Beijing Union University, the relics may be the oldest original copies of senior official documents in the Han Dynasty (BC 206-AD 220), which have great value for the study of ancient official documents.Among the three publicly released relics, two of them remain fairly intact with exact date information, though the handwriting is partly damaged. Chinese characters meaning “concubine (妾)” and “Haihunhou He” can be seen on the relics, which show that they were written by the Marquis of Haihun Liu He and his concubine.Zhang Yuzheng suggested that according to Haushu, the documents presented to the imperial court should be in two copies, with the original copy submitted to the emperor and the copy to the minister. The minister would first review the contents and then decide whether it was appropriate to be submitted to the emperor. The system was ended during the reign of Emperor Hanxuan in the Han Dynasty. The unearthed relics from Haihunhou tomb are believed to have been written on the fourth year of Yuankang during the reign of Emperor Hanxun when the system was already ended.Therefore, Zhang holds that the unearthed relics written with date information “fourth year of Yuankang” were very likely the original copies of official documents, instead of copies.The whole structure and content are also complete, the handwriting isquite neat, and the format (格式) is strict, consistent with the features of an original copy, according to Zhang.8．What can we know about the three released relicsA. They were official documents by senior officials.B. They proved to be the oldest documents in the Han Dynasty.C. They were recognized as Liu He and his concubine’s handwriting.D. They were publicly released as early as on the fourth year of Yuankang.9．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 3A. Complete.B. Meaningful.C. Organized.D. Reliable.10．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk aboutA. The valuable relics kept until today.B. How the relics were presented to the imperial court.C. What information should be included in the official document.D. Something about document presentation system in the Han Dynasty. 11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appearA. Entertainment.B. Sports.C. Health.D. History.Do you use the weekends to catch up on sleep If so, you may want to rethink that. in young adults, using weekends to catch up for lost weekday sleep can cause health risks. The take-home message is basically that you can’t make up for lost sleep by sleeping a few morehours on weekends.Weekends may seem like a great time to catch up on sleep. Scientists, however, weren’t sure that would work. So Christopher Depner and his colleagues decided to test it out. Depner is a sleep physiologist. He works at the University of Colorado, Boulder.The team looked at three groups of people in their mid-20s. For roughly two weeks, each group followed a set sleep schedule. One group slept about eight hours every night. Another group only got about five hours of shut-eye a night. The third group snoozed (打盹) some five hours each weeknight, but could sleep whenever and however much they wanted over the weekend. That last group stayed up until midnight or I am on Friday and Saturday nights. The following mornings, they slept in until sometime between 11 am and noon. But they also stayed up late on Sunday. That left them only about six hours of snooze tine before the next workweek started. Over the whole weekend, these people got only about 1.1 hours more sleep than what their bodies needed, the researchers found.People in the study who got too little sleep every night gained weight. So did the weekend sleep-in crowd. By the end of the experiment, people in both groups had gained an average of 1.5 kilograms.Depner says this could be because losing sleep interferes with hormones that control hunger. Since weekend-catch-up sleepers both woke uplater and went to bed later, they shifted (改变) their bodies’ internal clocks. As a result, they may have gotten hungry later. During the workweeks, both groups ate roughly 400 to 650 calories in late-night snacks.12．Why did the team carry out the researchA. To help promote a healthy lifestyle.B. To find a proper time for sleep on weekends.C. To make improvements for the people who stay up.D. To find out the disadvantages of losing sleep.13．What is Depner’s opinion on sleeping more hours on weekendsA. It can’t make up for the lost sleep.B. People should pay much attention to it.C. More research is needed for the effects.D. It is supposed to benefit those in need of sleep.14．Why did people who got too little sleep every night gin weight easilyA. They ate more than what their bodies needed.B. Their bodies’ internal clocks were shifted.C. They always felt hungry on weekends.D. They had a good appetite on weekdays.15．What message does the author want to convey in the textA. Staying up leads to weight gain.B. Young adults should eat regularly.C. Sleeping in on weekends won’t work.D. Finding new ways to sleepwell is essential.二、七选五16．Studying abroad can be a great opportunity to meet new people and to experience an unfamiliar and exciting culture by yourself.

封丘一中高一英语试卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A. the blood drive is organized by Isabelle’s motherB. doctors will sponsor Isabelle’s familyC. Isabelle has been ill for 11 monthD. Isabelle receives blood transfusions regularly22.To be a marrow donor, you must_____.A. be a relative of the patientB. carry a driver’s licenseC. be at least 18 years oldD. apply to Michael’s Fund23.Those who want to help patients like Isabelle can _____.A. come to Wiley Hall every WednesdayB. visit for an appointmentC. contact their parents at 800-283-8385D. call at hospitals in Rhode IslandBMany people don’t consider their breakfast without a glass of milk. Right now, cows, buffalos, goats and sheep provide most of the world’s milk. But soon, people could get milk from roaches(蟑螂).That isn’t as crazy as it might sound. New research shows this “milk”is super-nutritious. What’s more, some scientists have already begun referring to a lot of insects as source of milk.In 2004, Subramanian Ramaswamy started studying milk crystals found inside the roach. At the time, he was teaching biochemistry at the University of Iowa City.To learn more about the milk crystal from roaches, the scientists used X-rays to look at the atoms in it. The data basically revealed the chemical recipe of the roach crystal. They showed that roach milk is a “complete food”. It contains sugar with a fatty acid stuck to it. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. The protein in the milk is also full of essential amino(氨基的) acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Since our bodies can’t produce the “essential”ones, we need to get them from our food. And so do baby roaches.Barbara Stay, a biologist at Iowa University, also worked on the new study. She says the new data show that the roach milk is “three times more nutritious than cow’s milk and four times more nutritious than buffalo’s milk”.Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people. But not everyone is confident that it can be done.Marcel Dicke studies insects as a potential source of human food at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Dicke says this is a “sound study”. However, in his opinion, “Extracting(提取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities”. That means you’d have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.24. What is the opinion of the scientists about milk in Paragraph 2?A. Many insects are sources of milk.B. Milk is an important part of breakfast.C. Milk from insects is the most nutritious.D. Milk from insects is well accepted now.25. What can we know about the use of roach milk in life?A. It will replace the milk from animals like cows.B. Scientists think it the key to solving world hunger.1C. All people don’t think it can be used in life soon.D. Most people depend on roach milk from protein.26. According to Marcel Dicke, extracting insect milk on a large scale is ________.A. simpleB. challengingC. safeD. necessary27. What should be the best title for the text?A. Roach milk has been found scientificallyB. Roach milk could be produced industriallyC. Roach milk could be a new super foodD. Roach milk will be widely used soonCThere have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths : I’ll never lose weight-I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challengeNo pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.28. What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C.A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D. It is the consequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.29. According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking varied exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.30. What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain”in exercising?A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C.

This incident has received great interest due to reports of strange lights in the sky and of alien visits around the time the boy disappeared.Witnesses say they saw Justin walking towards his house at 10.45 p.m. Justin’s sister, Kelley, aged nine ,says she heard her brother return home at 11 p.m.“I was getting ready for bed,”Kelly said. “Justin went straight to his room. I didn’t see him, but I heard him put on his favorite CD. I went to bed, and was woken up around midnight by a bright light outside my window.”At first，the young girl thought it was the light of the full moon，but then she realized that it was moving and coming closer.“I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had blue lights all around it, and there were many windows. Standing inside were lots of strange creatures with white skin and large black eyes. I was frightened！”Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house, towards her brother’s bedroom. “There was a flash of light and I heard Justin shout, and then the UFO just disappeared.I haven’t seen Justin since. I’m sure the aliens took him.”Kelly then ran and woke up her mother. However, since Mrs. Foster thought that Justin was spending the night with a friend, she assumed that Kelly was having a bad dream, and sent her back to bed. Mr. Foster was working that night on his road construction job，and was not home when these events occurred. When Justin did not show up for lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police.Some people in Dover also say that they saw aliens that night. “It’s happened to me！”said Mrs. Mavis Wood. “The aliens took me aboard the UFO so that they could do research on me.2Luckily, they returned me home without any injuries. The whole experience was terrible! I haven’t been sleeping well since I returned home. I think Justin was taken away by them, too.”When asked about the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, Detective Sam Peterson, who has taken charge of the case，told journalists, “Sometimes people make up such amazing stories. There’s really no hard evidence that aliens took him. So, while we have not dismissed the idea, we are looking into other possibilities as well. We will not give up until we find out what happened.”32. The reason why people were interested in the disappearance of the child is that____A. The lost boy was 15 years old.B. The police advised them to do so.C. The disappearance might have something to do with the UFO and the alien.D. All of the above33. We can infer that the boy might go missing______.A. in his own roomB. on the playgroundC. in Kelly’s roomD. in his brother’s room34. What is the attitude of the police to the disappearance of the boy?_____A. They can’t make sure that Justin was taken by aliens.B. They think it possible for some people to make up an amazing story.C. They are looking at other possibilities, such as murder.D. All of the above.35. We can know_______.A. the police have known the cause of the boy’s disappearance.B. the police haven’t found convincing evidence about the boy’s disappearance.C. the police will catch the aliens who took away the boy.D. the police won’t get any information about the child’s disappearance.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Last month, it briefly reached No.3 on the country’s top 50 albums chart (排行榜) —ahead of Taylor Swift.Anthony Albrecht, a PhD student at Charles Darwin University, produced the album with Professor Stephen Garnett. “I knew it was a crazy thing to suggest. But Stephen’s a little bit crazy like me and he let me do it,” Albrecht said.Songs Of Disappearance was published with a university report which found that 1 in 6 Australian bird species are now threatened. The album records 53 of those species.“Some sing what you might think of as bird songs, but not all of them,” said Sean Dooley, who represents the conservation organization Birdlife Australia. “Songs from the golden bowerbird sound like a death cry from some sci-fi series. And the love songs from Christmas Island frigatebird, which has a piece of skin hanging under its mouth that canThere’s also the Christmas Island pigeon. When people hear that pigeon, they might think that it’s a human making silly noises, Dooley added.The Charles Darwin University and Birdlife Australia report does document successes in protecting endangered birds, the hope being that the album will protect more species.“The increased awareness can make a difference,”Dooley said. “When we have a community on board, that brings pressure to the government to do the right thing. We know that these conservation actions do work.”4．Whose album reached No.1 on the chart in December?A. Taylor Swift’s.B. Adele Adkins’.C. Ed Sheeran’s.D. Anthony Albrecht’s.5．What can be learned from the university report?A. About 53 bird species are threatened in Australia.B. It has not found success in protecting endangered birds.C. One sixth of Australian bird species are now endangered.D. Music is very powerful in encouraging people to protect birds.6．Which is closest in meaning to “bizarre” in paragraph 5?A. Strange.B. Beautiful.C. Loud.D. Sharp.7．What does Sean Dooley think of Anthony Albrecht’s project?A. Crazy.B. Amusing.C. Uncreative.D. Helpful.The first wave of concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) in 2023 appeared soon after New Year’s Day when classrooms reopened and schools fro m Seattle to Paris started blocking ChatGPT, a powerful software based on Al large language models, because teenagers were using it to do their homework.The AI large language models behind such products as ChatGPT work by repeatedly guessing the next word in a sentence after having “learned” the rules from a huge amount of human-written works. Although they often get facts wrong, their answers appear so natural that even their inventors begin to worry about their possible use for spreading false information.People became more worried when various AI products started to create not just texts but novel images, music and human voices, which threatened the livelihoods of anyone who writes, draws or sings for a living. It led to strikes by Hollywood writers and actors and legal challenges from artists and bestselling authors. Some of the most respected scientists even warned that the technology’s unchecked progress was possibly threatening human existence.“In the longer term, they might manage our attention,” pioneering AI scientist Fei Fei Lisaid. “They would tell us which video to watch, which book to read or whose communication to respond as AI technology’s abilities improve rapidly. They could be a very good assistant, but also with really big risks.”Li hoped that 2023 is going to be a year for people to think about what AI is, how to use it and what the effects are—all the good, the bad and the ugly.“It’s easy to forget that they are not the first wave of AI products. Computer vision techniques developed by Li and other scientists have helped sort through a huge database of photos to recognize objects and individual faces and guide self-driving cars. Speech recognition advances have made voice assistants like Siri and Alexa a normal thing in many people’s lives,” said Tom Gruber, co-founder of Siri Inc.8．Why did schools try to stop their students from using ChatGPT?A. ChatGPT often got facts wrong in the class.B. Students spent too much time on the software.C. ChatGPT helped students spread false information.D. Students used the software to cheat at their homework.9．What are the second and third paragraphs mainly about?A. AI’s training costs.B. AI’s amazing abilities.C. AI’s possible threats.D. AI’s fast developments.10．What would Tom Gruber most probably suggest people do?A. Think carefully about AI’s impact.B. Welcome AI technology.C. Do use ChatGPT more carefully.D. Upgrade ChatGPT in time.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A. A news report.B. A guidebook to a software.C. A product review.D. An introduction to a person.A study published Tuesday in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin& Review found that words expressing angry feelings sound ali ke in several unrelated languages. They’re less likely than other words to include the sounds L, R, W or Y. And more friendly versions of such words often have these sounds added. The finding suggests that certain rules may link the world’s languages, no matter how different they are.Ryan McKay, co-author of the paper, happened to discover that some of the English curses (诅咒语) seem to have something in common: They’re often short and include the sounds B, P, T or K. Then Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether these rules went beyond English.During the experiment, they asked fluent speakers of Arabic, Korean, German and Spanish to list the worst words they could think of. Once they’d made a list of each language’s most commonly used curses, the researchers compared these with neutral (中性的) words from the same language. To their surprise, the rules still apply.Next, the scientists asked the same people to listen to pairs of invented words, such as “yog” and “tsog” and guess which word in each pair was a curse. The subjects were more likely to guess that words without L, R, W and Y, such as “tsog”, were curses.Finally, the researchers looked through the dictionary for English curses and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the cleaned-up versions included more of the sounds L, R, W and Y.“Most 20th-century language scientists held that any word could have any meaning,”said Dr. McKay. “With curses, though, the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning. This can shape and change our understanding of how languages are formed.”“It is the first time for researchers to study curses across languages and the finding is very interesting,” said Benjamin Bergen, a language scientist at the University of California,who was not involved in the study. “But it is just another case of what’s called sound symbolism in the language study: A word sounds like what it means.”12．Which word is most probably an uncleaned-up curse according to the text?A. Rucy.B. Buk.C. Yayad.D. Walawala.13．What did the researchers do in their last step?A. Applying their study to more unrelated languages.B. Studying the neutral words and curses side by side.C. Asking people to listen to pairs of non-existing words.D. Comparing English curses with their friendly versions.14．What did Benjamin Bergen mean?A. The study method is really unscientific.B. It will change our understanding in a way.C. It is not a totally new discovery at all.D. The selected languages are too limited.15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a newly published study.B. To prove the unique rules in English.C. To tell another way of memorizing words.D. To show how to use more friendly curses.二、七选五16．Walking might seem simple. “But it’s not,” explains Peggy Cawthon, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “It’s an amazingly complex behavior when we try to understand how to improve our lives as we age.”① ? Here are a few ideas.Don’t stop exercisingCawthon agrees that the worst thing a person can do is to stop exercising. “You’ll feel the effects almost immediately,” says Cawthon. Sitting for hours leaves her uncomfortable, and it’s the days when she types that her arthritis (关节炎) doesn’t cause much pain. ② .Train yourself to walk with skillTo truly improve your walking, you need to think like an athlete. Imagine you want to play tennis, but you have a bad backhand. Playing lots of tennis won’t fix the problem, Cawthon says. ③. It’s the same thing with walking.Give your brain a boost (激励)④. So don’t forget that when working out your fitness plan. Cawth on has been studying an area of the brain related to motivation (动机) and executive function. Subjects with a boost walk more steps on average than the control group, and they have been maintaining that even several months later.⑤______So when should we face the music about our mobility? There is no final answer for when walking problems begin to come up. “You should be as active as you can at any age,”Cawth on says, noting that people who are healthy in their 20s and 30s are best equipped to deal with future age-related challenges. “The best time to start is now. Next best is tomorrow,” she says.A. Start planning nowB. Be in pretty good shapeC. You need to improve your skillD. So what steps should we take to do it rightE. How can you sweat your way to good healthF. It is a helpful reminder that our bodies need actionG. Basically, the body part controlling everything is your brain三、完形填空（15空）Their father passed away, their mother is laid off, and the family has no heat in theirsaid Raymundo Galarza, a social worker with 214 Cares.needs of students and their families, from helping pay the rent to putting food on the table.by calling on people to donate (捐赠) money.“There have been other needs that have come forward, like medical costs for students,”17．A. shocking B. pleasant C. strange D. unique18．A. led to B. come across C. worked out D. made up19．A. fun B. real C. risky D. simple20．A. medicine B. tools C. food D. houses21．A. miss B. track C. deliver D. prefer22．A. concentrating on B. going throughC. wondering atD. finding out23．A. deal B. lesson C. game D. loss24．A.

Ours was a lot of fun. We have seen so many new things and met so many wonderful people. The French gave us a warm welcome and helped us get used to living here soon. We have so many things to share with all of you. We are going to send you more emails, but here are the best parts of our holiday in France so far.We had a fantastic time seeing the Tour de France this summer. It is the most famous bicycle race in the world. The riders travel more than two thousand miles in about a month! We got a quick look at the riders as they sped past! After the race, our family rented bikes, and rode along part of the route that the cyclists used.A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails. The answer is yes. We went out to dinner the other day, and our parents ordered some. We each tried one and it didn’t taste too bad. The snails, called escargots, are served with lots of butter. They feel a little rubbery when you bite into them, but they don’t really have much taste. Mum’s favourite food here is the French pastries. Dad loves the red wine. Our favourite is the fresh bread from the shop down the street.We went to visit the Eiffel Tower a few weeks ago. We went all the way to the top. It was a sunny day, so we could see for miles and miles into the distance. Dad doesn’t like heights, so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground.We miss all of you a lot. Write back to us and let us know what is new at home.Au revoir!Wendy and Jack Brown（1）What do the Browns think of French people?A . Friendly.B . Funny.C . Welcome.D .

But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life.Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant—works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket—fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail—lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.（1）People with the character of the snail would like to _______.A . enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the futureB . live a luxury life at all costsC . put work before everything else.D . take the risk of investing a large sum of money（2）Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except ______.A . societyB . moneyC . educationD . our family（3）This passage mainly talks about _______.A . the reaction between man and insectsB . the problems with dealing with moneyC . the insects in natureD . the spending nature of people （4）Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?A . The antsB . The cricketC . The snailD . None of the above4. 阅读理解My students often tell me they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My reply is often brief—You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to excuse myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant. What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think about th e “hard worker” dodge , and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fix ed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that is important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explai ned by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office---Don’t work harder but work smarter. There’s a lot of sense in that idea.If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means“homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.（1）From the passage, we know that the author is ______ .A . a poetB . a editorC . an educatorD . an director（2）We can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _____ .A . have enough timeB . can meet the presidentC . get something done wellD . should accept the explanation（3）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means_________.A . That is impossibleB . That is not acceptableC . That is unbearableD . That is not important（4）The main purpose of writing the passage is to give_______.A . adviceB . encouragementC . criticismD . information二、完形填空5. 完形填空One evening, Mr. Green was driving in his car along a lonely country road.

Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons.I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had.When I returned home,there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out,I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for5:00A.M.The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach.The second day I set two clocks,one on my night table, and one out in the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morning writing began.Since that first morning in1978,I have been following the habit to this day,not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel,I divided my two hours:the first for poetry,the second for fiction.Well or badly,Iwrote at least two pages a day.This is how my novel,The Line of the Sun.was finished.If I had waited to have the time,I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many people,the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision:taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way.4.What motivated the author to start her writing career?A.Her strong wish to share.B.Her keen interest in writing.C.Her urgent need to make a living.D.Her passionate desire for fame.5.Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway?A.In case the clock in her room broke down.B.In case she failed to hear the ringing.C.To force herself out of bed.D.To wake up her family.6.How did the author manage to finish her novel?A.By sticking to writing every morning.B.By writing when her mind was most active.C.By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D.By reducing her teaching hours at school.7.What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career?A.It is never too late to change your job.B.Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C.A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.D.Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.CArtificial intelligence(AI)plays an important role in the Asian Games Hangzhou2022and Asian Para Games. These terms might sound familiar,but how smart are they when applied to the56Asian Games venues(场地)?Their smartness can be found in running the venues with less human labor forces.At the Huanglong Sports Center,a system called Smart Stadium Brain is built.A25square meter high definition screen lays in the venue’s information center,which guarantees a friendly environment for the athletes and audiences.A small screen on each seat is designed to be at the audience’s service.By finger touching,the audience can control it conveniently to watch and keep contact with the event.What’s more,supported by the5G technology.AI also means further protection on environment.At the Fuyang sports Center,although it has been raining for days,the roof of the venue still remains dry.And the secret lies in its attractive sky garden.The garden,is not only eye-catching but also useful.It allows the greening rate of the entire stadium to reach as high as45%,being energy-saving.Under the cobblestones(鹅卵石),a recovery system is filtering(过滤)and collecting rainwater for the venue’s water system,and irrigation water.8.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“guarantee”in Para2?A.Make sure of.B.Take advantage of.C.Get used to.D.Adapt to.9.What can we learn from Para2?A.Their smartness of AI will replace workersB.The stadium is environmentally friendly and advanced but costly.C.The audience can control small screens on their seats easily.D.Small screen must be supported by the5G technology.10.How does the roof of the venue keep dry while it’s raining?A.By saving energy.B.By collecting rainwater system of the sky garden.C.By recycling the rainwater.D.By improving the greening rate.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?n Games with Artificial Intelligence.B.Smart Asian Games with High-tech Venues.C.More Connections with Smart Devices.D.A Sports Center with Smart Stadium Brain.DA new study says the Amazon rainforest is nearing a tipping point(临界点)in its decline that could see the biologically rich and diverse ecosystem turned into a savannah(热带草原).“The Amazon is losing its ability to recover from disturbances like drought and extreme weather. Deforestation and climate change are likely the main drivers of this decline,”study co-author Niklas Boers said in a statement.The researchers say they’ve found evidence of this decline across75percent of the Amazon.“It’s worth reminding ourselves that if it gets to that tipping point and we commit to losing the Amazon rainforest,we will get significant feedback on global climate change,”said Timothy Lenton,a scientist and co-author of the study.The research team looked at three decades’worth of satellite data,paying close attention to trees and other plants after extreme events.The researchers concluded that the forest,which is essential for oxygen production and carbon sequestration(碳封存),has been losing its resilience for the last two decades.The researchers say the forest is nearing a tipping point,but the arrival date is unclear as a number of factors can push it closer to or farther from that edge.It’s just too challenging to estimate when the change may occur.Butthe scientists warn that once the tipping point has been crossed,the change could happen quickly.The news comes after the Amazon recorded record levels of deforestation in Brazil in January.Animal agriculture is causing deforestation in the Amazon,as Brazil is now the world’s top beef st November, the EU took steps to ban beef linked to deforestation.“What we propose is a pioneering initiative,”Virginijus Sinkevicius,the EU environment commissioner,said.“The EU action alone will not solve the problem.We also need major markets like the US to clean up their supply chain.”12.What can we learn from the study?A.The Amazon rainforest is in danger of changing into grassland.B.The Amazon rainforest has reached the point of no return.C.Scientists are convinced that the change could happen quickly.D.Scientists are unclear about what is responsible for the decline.13.What does the underlined word“resilience”in Paragraph4probably mean?A.The ability to predict the future.B.The ability to rise to challenges.C.The ability to remain unchanged.D.The ability to go back to normal.14.What does the EU environment commissioner expect?A.Deforestation will become easy to deal with.B.The export of beef should be banned.C.More countries should join hands.D.The EU should adopt strict measures.15.What is the text likely to be?A.An adventure diary.B.A biology textbook.C.An official proposal.D.A scientific report.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Swim with the Whale Sharks.D. Dive with the Whale Sharks.The automobile industry is spending billions on self-driving cars, but what if we quite like driving?One holiday a few years ago, I spent hours being transported on trains, buses and planes.I read a novel for a while, then stared out the window, in a black mood. I was turned into goods, being shifted from one location to another. Then, finally, came the exciting section of the holiday when I hired a car.My wife Jocasta and I followed the positioning system, turning right, then right again, and found ourselves in a small town. I spoke to the positioning system, “We don’t want to be here; we want the highway.” Then it asked me to turn right again and again. With every turn, the street narrowed. The walls were so close that I had to hold my breath.Another car appeared, coming towards us from the opposite direction. The driver signaled, telling me I had to make way. But how? I didn’t have the courage to back up along the impossibly narrow passage. Soon some locals came to help. One lady stood at the back of the vehicle, waving me on. She continued making “this way, this way” movements with her arms. In an act of blind trust, I followed her instructions, creeping (小心行进) backwards and forwards. Remarkably, it worked. I completed my turn into the side street. The other car passed and the driver gave me a grateful wave. Then I followed the lady’s suggestion and —finally — saw the highway.My hands were shaking. I breathed in and out. Jocasta turned to me. “You’re my hero,” she said. I looked at her, expecting a shadow of a teasing (嘲笑的) smile, but can find none. “You’re my hero,” she repeated. “I mean it. You did a really good job.” Finally, I managed to steady my nerves. Then we set off again and the car sped smoothly away. Who would exchange all this for a self-driving car?4．Why are self-driving cars mentioned in paragraph 1?A. To show the advance in technology.B. To show the author’s love for driving.C. To show the change in the automobile industry.D. To lead to the author’s holiday experienc e.5．Why did the author drive into the narrow passage?A. He wanted to take a shortcut.B. He intended to thank, the locals for help.C. He had to turn to avoid another car.D. He was misdirected by the guidance system6．What can be inferred about the author and his wife from the last paragraph?A. His wife used to laugh at him.B. He became more skilled at driving.C. His wife tried to encourage and calm him.D. He misunderstood his wife throughout.7．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Hero Behind the WheelB. An Adventurous Automobile TripC. A Lover of Self-driving CarsD. An Unexpected Technological ProblemIt’s midafternoon. You’re full from lunch. The day is warm. You’re starting to feel sleepy. Should you give in to the comfort of a nap (小睡)?to whether napping benefits everyone, we generally acknowledge that naps can improve at least some people’s cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term.For example, scientists reviewed a past experiment that focused on healthy participants with regular sleep cycles. In that experiment, participants were given math problems that could be solved with a shortcut that they weren’t told about. Some participants we re encouraged to take a nap before dealing with the problems. It was found that those who napped-and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest stage of sleep-were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep stage had a negative effect.The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have sleep debt, such as shift workers, new parents and elderly people whose nighttime sleep is always interrupted. They all seem to get a boost through napping: a 2013 study focusing on such people, for example,showed that taking a nap during one’s night shift work reduced sleepiness and improved overall performance, even if people were slightly inactive as they came out of their nap-a phenomenon ca lled “sleep inertia (惰性)”.There is something we can do to reduce sleep inertia. A 20-minute nap is good for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia.8．What does the underlined word “hassle” mean in paragraph 2?A. Debate.B. Tendency.C. Guidance.D. Judgement.9．What did the experiment find about napping?A. It improves memory.B. It helps clear one’s mindC. It may promote one’s health.D. It has a bad influence on people.10．What can we infer about the subjects of the 2013 study?A. They tended to nap more.B. They were inactive in daytime.C. They came out of their naps slowly.D. They didn’t get en ough nighttime sleep 11．How can we avoid sleep inertia?A. By taking fewer naps.B. By napping within 1 hour.C. By managing the nap length.D. By avoiding long naps.Eating insects is one of those ideas that never quite seem to catch on. The United Nations supported the idea a decade ago, but, in the West at least, insects remain mostly absent from supermarket shelves. Faced with this situation, scientists have been exploring other options. One is to feed insects to farm animals, which are not so picky.Of course, insects need to eat, too. To date, they have mostly been raised on leftover chicken feed. But the supply of that is limited, and if insect-raised meat is to take off, new sources will be needed. In a paper in the Journal of Applied Entomology, Niels Thomas Eriksen, a biochemist at Aalborg University, suggests feeding them on the waste products of the beer industry.The world knocks back around 185 billion litres of beer every year. Each litre produces between three and ten litres of wastewater full of abandoned substances that are richer in protein but not in carbohydrates (碳水化合物) , especially compared with chicken feed. Most insects grown for feed depend, in the wild, on the carbohydrates found in fruit which goes bad. Whether insects would actually consider beer waste square meal was, therefore, unclear.The researchers used the baby black soldier flies. The insects were divided into threegroups, which were offered beer waste, chicken feed and a mixture of both respectively. The researchers monitored both their weight gain and the amount of carbon dioxide they breathed out, which helped assess the insects' metabolic (新陈代谢的) performance. The babies happily consumed both beer waste and chicken feed, and grew equally well on either food source. When Dr Eriksen made further chemical analysis, he found few differences in the nutrients needed for farm animals' growth.What the researchers found is good news for some other industries whose waste is likewise plentiful and protein-rich, and they now look to be reasonable targets for nutrient recycling by insects. Whether consumers will be willing to eat insect-raised meat, though, remains to be seen.12．What do we know about eating insects in the beginning?A.It will probably catch on soon.B.Most westerners shy away from it.C.It is supported in most of the world.D.Most scientists turn down this idea.13．Why were the researchers initially unsure of beer waste as insect feed?A.Its supply is not enough.B.It contains too much protein.C.It lacks necessary carbohydrates.D.Its chemical contents are unknown. 14．What did the researchers find about the insects?A.They preferred to eat chicken feed.B.They grew fastest on beer waste.C.They could turn beer waste into meat.D.They needed more food than expected.15．What does the author indicate in the last paragraph?A.Some industries rarely recycle their waste.B.The practical application of the findings is limited.C.Insect-raised meat is likely to be the next fashion.D.The experiment has an outlook beyond the beer industry.二、七选五16．How to Politely Cancel Plans Over TextYou made plans with friends, but when it’s time to leave the house, you just don’t have the energy. Or, maybe something else comes up, and you can’t make it.① _________ But with a few tips, you can do it politely.◆Text them as soon as possible.That way, your friends can rearrange their schedules.

I am an exception to that rule. It’s not my dad’s fault—he tried to teach me. I remember cycling around the neighbourhood. To be honest, though, I never saw the appeal. One of my earliest memories is falling from my bike and into some spiny (多刺的) plants. I definitely didn’t want to repeat that.So I stopped learning. My dad wasn’t going to waste his time teaching someone who didn’t want to be taught. Time passed and I accepted that I couldn’t ride a bike. It never affected my life in high school because I lived close enough to walk.I never felt like I was missing out until I couldn’t go on a bike ride with friends in Byron Bay because I was only confident that I could go on a flat surface in a generally straight line. So when the opportunity came up to bike the wall of Xi’an, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it and make up for missed time. So, with a friend who is very patient, I got on the bike. Instantly nothing came flooding back to me, I had absolutely no idea how to start! “Push off with one foot hard” was my instruction. It sounded simple enough but it just would not happen. Until something clicked and suddenly I was off, going in a straight line on a flat surface and managing to avoid the Chinese tourists who obviously found exaltation my face.At 22 years old, I finally learnt how to ride a bike, and nothing can hold me back.4．Why didn’t the author learn to ride a bike as a child?A．She was not brave enough.B．There was no need to do so.C．Her father was too busy to teach him.D．Her father thought it a waste of time. 5．When was she determined to learn to ride?A．When her friend offered to teach her how to ride.B．When her friends went on a bike ride in Byron Bay.C．When she wanted to ride a bike along Xi’an City Wall.D．When she was travelling by bike in Byron Bay with her friend.6．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exaltation” in the Paragraph 3?A．interest B．shock C．calmness D．excitement 7．What can we conclude from the story?A．Motivation (动机) is the best teacher.B．Failure is the mother of success.C．No rule has no exceptions.D．It’s never too old to learn.Every school has students who stand out for their abilities and their eagerness to learn. In Mexico, a school created a program to work with them. In 2019, both teachers Lotta Andersson and John Rennie got the idea to provide learning opportunities for students with a hunger for knowledge. They are English coordinators(协调员) in the school. “We want to have a program to inspire students who really have the abilities and the interests to learn more and continue accepting challenges,” Andersson said during a recent interview.Students in the program, which was called Learning Challenges, met with the teachers about once a month. Andersson and Rennie would help us choose research topics. We then worked with the teachers to find books, interview subjects and Internet sources. While in Learning Challenges, I gave presentations on European culture and the fashion industry.When asked what skills students had formed in the program, which ended in June 2020 because of the limits of a common disease. Andersson said, “They had learned to ask questions, be more open-minded and see things from different angles(角度). Also, they mastered the skills — reflecting more, acting actively, and learning not to put limits on themselves.”A student, Yihane Abed, conducted research on the sun, the moon, stars, planets, etc, while in Learning Challenges. “The skills I developed were teamwork and the ways to do research and give a good presentation,” she said.Andersson and Rennie continue to help students pursue their love of learning. “The program doesn’t exist formally, but as an important part of the culture at school, it is still needed,” Andersson said. “There is much more difference, not only for students who need extra help, but also for those who are higher achievers.”8．What’s the purpose of creating Learning Challenges?A．To help some students learn more.B．To guide students to work out successfully.C．To raise students’ interest in visiting Europe.D．To encourage English students to help others.9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．Ways that students used in the program.B．Abilities that students got from the program.C．Difficulties that students met in the program.D．Topics that students chose from the program.10．Which kind of research did Yihane Abed conduct?A．Teamwork.B．Travelling.C．The universe.D．The fashion industry. 11．What does Andersson think of the program?A．Hard.B．Formal.C．Necessary.D．Traditional.A study has shown how ecotourism in the Philippines has changed people’s attitudes towards marine (海洋的) conservation (保护).Researchers from the University of Victoria and other institutes in Philippines visited three sites where tourists pay to swim with whale sharks in the wild. They interviewed a range of locals in Oslob, Donsol and Pintuyan, including fishers and ex-whale shark hunters. At Oslob, the largest of the three sites, people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvements to their quality of life and an increase in job opportunities. At the smaller, less profitable sites, responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the whale sharks.Dr. Jackie Ziegler, leader of the team of researchers, said, “Many of the people reported they now care about and value whale sharks because of tourism activities. They also expressed the community’s emotional connection to the species and the strong need to protect them. Before the introduction of tourist activities, most of the locals admitted harming the sharks by hitting them with stones or riding them.” In terms of attitudes towards the wider marine environment, the majority of respondents now actively encourage others to care for the ocean and they also use more sustainable (可持续的) fishing practices.The study also acknowledged the possible negative effects of tourism on the marine environment, such as effects on the health of local coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and of the sharks. It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these effects before firm conclusion could be drawn on the positive effect of whale sharks tourism on ocean conservation.Nevertheless, the researchers say their work suggests ecotourism can be an effective means of strengthening protection. “Bringing in the views of the local tour operation to the study was necessary in uncovering the true effect of whale shark tourism and the wider benefit to the oceanconservation in the Philippines,” Dr Ziegler added.12．When interviewed, local people did NOT talk about __________?A．Improvement of life.B．Behaviours towards sharks.C．Increases of work chances.D．Relationships between people.13．Which word can best describe locals’ action towards marine life before ecotourism?A．Protective.B．Satisfying.C．Unsustainable.D．Suitable. 14．What will the researchers possibly do next?A．Improve local living conditions.B．Draw a firm conclusion about the effect.C．Encourage fishers to hunt more whale sharks.D．Assess possible negative effects tourism may bring.15．What may be the best title of the text?A．Ecotourism Transforms Locals’ Attitudes to Marine Conservation.B．Ecotourism Does Much Good to Marine Life as Before.C．Marine ecotourism Gives Rise to a New Kind of Business.D．Ecotourism Has Brought Large Benefits to People.Pets not only make our lives richer, they also help us to live longer. As much as we take care of them, they find ways to take care of us, too. Studies confirm that our animal companions help us in many ways. So whether you like a dog or a cat, go and get a furry friend. 16 Pets can smell medical conditions. If you notice your dog or cat acting in an unusual way with no explanation, you may want to take a trip to the doctor. 17 Dogs and cats, sensing an issue, warns their owners by changing behaviors, leading to earlier discovery of illnesses. Dogs especially have the ability to detect (检测) illness with a high level of accuracy.Interacting with animals has a big impact during child development. 18 Children with pets are not likely to develop mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders during adulthood.19 Experts praise dogs as a way to lower blood pressure and improve heart health. Ina study observing people with borderline high blood pressure, those who adopted(收养) dogs experience declines (下降) in blood pressure levels. Research has shown similar results for cat owners as well.Having a pet helps us stay more active and get outside. Sometimes finding the time to walk the dog or clean the litter box can seem difficult to fit into a busy schedule. 20 Dog owners especially feel more motivated to go for walks out of responsibility. Even those with eats can gain there wards. You may not take the cat out for walks, but you’ll get moving by playing with the cat, picking up toys, or cleaning up.A．It can have huge health benefits.B．Pets give us an opportunity to start a conversation.C．Animals can detect tiny changes in the human body.D．Animals help reduce blood pressure and promote heart health.E．Having a pet can reduce the risk of developing illnesses like cancer.F．Children with pets experience less stress, separation anxiety, and social anxiety G．However, it has to get done, thus providing the pet owner with necessary exercise.二、完形填空“Leave a place better than you found it.” It’s a 21 philosophy (人生哲学), but one that William Lindesay holds dear.

It was the kind of place where you got tickets for scoring points in the games and then cashed them in for prizes.Tyden won top prize of tickets, so we went to cash them in and select his gifts. I felt a little sad because my loved one and I had our first date at this center and had exchanged little things from the showcase. I noticed a turtle and remembered my partner loved it. I asked the young man behind the showcase if I could just buy the turtle without tickets. He said. “Unluckily. that is not a choice.”I needed to win 350 tickets to cash the turtle in.so I left Tyden choosing his gift alone there. I bought game tokens (代币) and entered the game room. I had just chosen a game I thought I could win when I heard Tyden's excited voice, “Auntie, Auntie! Look! ”He pulled the turtle out from behind his back and gave it to me. My eyes were filled with tears, and my heart burst with love. He had listened to that whole conversation and chosen to give the turtle to me instead of getting whatever he wanted.Before I could thank him, he said, “I wanted you to have it, so you didn't have to spend money, which would cause you to work hard”.I held him in my arms, and told him how much I loved him. I am beyond thankful to have the title of his Auntie.44．What did the author fail to do?A. Find another gift.B. Buy a turtle.C. Exchange gifts.D.

Clever.C. Honest.D. Caring.It is challenging to teach children about seasonal foods in a modern-day grocery store (杂货店). Having lots of choices of fresh produce from all around the world means that a sense of the seasons is lost. That’s why I like being part of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Every week I receive a share of vegetables that comes from a nearby farm. I do not know ahead of time what I’m getting, nor do I have any say on what comes home; I take whatev er was harvested earlier that same day, based on the week’s weather conditions, and use them to the best of my ability.My kids have had a good knowledge of the supply of certain vegetables throughout the harvesting season. They know what it’s like to eat a lot of asparagus (芦笋) until they’re sick of it, only to move on to dark greens and leafy salads, then eggplants, and tomatoes, and finally the root vegetables that mark the arrival of cold weather.The funny thing is, when you’ve eaten a ton of something for a few weeks, you’re ready to move on to the next crop (作物) and leave the other behind, but when its time comes the following year, the expectation will return. In this way, a CSA share creates excitement at vegetables that can’t be felt when everythin g can be bought all the time, as it is in a grocery store.A farmers’ market can offer similar lessons in seasonality to a CSA, but it differs in that you have more choices about what you buy. A CSA share, however, only offers few kinds of vegetables and sometimes fruits, forcing you to work out ways of using them up. I enjoy this challenge because it tests my cooking skills and introduces my family to new and unusualvegetables. What’s more, it is glad to know I’m supporting local farmers by eating what th ey want to grow, not just what I’m used to eating.48．What is special about the vegetables offered by the CSA program?A. They are free.B. They are cheap.C. They can’t be found in local grocery stores.D. They make the author full of expectations.49．What does the author think of the CSA share?A. It provides enough supply of vegetables.B. It makes people choose vegetables freely.C. It keeps people’s excitement for vegetables.D. It makes people become sick of eating vegetables.50．What does the author say about the program in the last paragraph?A. It encourages him to support local farmers.B. It helps him learn about the community.C. It gives people more choices of foods.D. It causes local farmers a lot of stress.51．What is the best title for the text?A. Local food is becoming more popularB. The CSA program is making a differenceC. People are encouraged to experience farm lifeD. Naturally grown food improves people’s healthIt was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow. But it was all in her head. She was transported by a virtual reality (VR) headphone. It took the Berkeley Carroll School junior and eight other classmates to a northern New York farm. The farm was 250 miles away. For students, the technology means field trips are no longer kept within the length of a bus ride.It's unknown how many classrooms have or will use the technology, but experts say few classrooms do or will do. Headphones that require a user's phone can cost as little as $20 or $30, but systems and software for classes run into thousands of dollars. The problem of not having good software is disappearing as more companies enter the market. But the rules forvirtual reality lab experiments are not included in the state's hands-on lab time requirements.Experts say science classes are where virtual reality holds promise for classrooms. “The biggest problem, I think, is going to be how closely it mimics the real world." That's according to David Evans, the director of the National Science Teachers Union. However, he said, “The ability to do dangerous things and to run many, many more cases in a virtual space as opposed to t he real physical space stands for a huge learning chance.”Lamb taught chemistry and he agreed. “Too often in schools, when you do experiments in labs, you mix these together, you mix those together and you get this result. And if you don't get that result, you have done something wrong. But we don't have enough resources for you to redo it, “he said. “In virtual reality, all I do is hit reset on the computer. I don't have to actually use chemicals.”52．What was Taylor Engler doing?A. Riding a bus.B. Giving a lesson.C. Designing a farm.D. Experiencing VR. 53．What does the underlined part “kept abreast of" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Led to.B. Focused on.C. Caught up with.D. Broken away from. 54．What did Lamb think of the use of VR in the classroom?A. Helpful.B. Troublesome.C. Interesting.D. Challenging. 55．What is the purpose of the text?A. To point out the importance of practice.B. To introduce the use of VR in teaching.C. To give information about modern schools.D. To show the appearance of VR technology.三、七选五56．The daily life can be busy and at times difficult. It may sometimes feel like bringing just a little more inner peace and calmness into your life is a hopeless wish. ①________Small and smart changes can make a big difference over time. Here are some tips for finding more peace and calmness in everyday life.Set limits (限制). If your life is overfilled, you may need to set some limits.

Set a limit for how many times you will check your mailbox, Instagram, Twitter etc. per day. ②________Organise your world and your mind. ③________A tidy, clean and ordered space around you brings clarity and order to the mind. So don’t stop there. Simplify and organise yourhome and life to live in a more relaxing environment.④________Reading minds is pretty much impossible.

It may sometimes be a bit hard at first but it can save you and the people around you so much trouble in the long run.Solve a problem that is weighing heavily on you. Solve your problem and release(释放) all the stress that it is creating in your life. You probably already know what to do, and you are just not doing it yet. ⑤________So get up from your chair and get started right now.A. Ask instead of guessing.B. Sometimes you have a bad day.C. But it doesn’t have to be that way.D. And say no if you really don’t have the time.E. Leave your work and work phone where it belongs.F. Just take three minutes to organize the room you’re in.G.

Near the border of the park is the highest waterfall in the Sudety region of Poland, the Kamienczyk Waterfall, which is 27 meters high.Wolin National ParkCovering a large part of the Wolin Island on the western side of the Polish coast, this park’s best parts include an amazing 15 km long stretch of steep sea cliffs (悬崖), lakes and rivers surrounded by pine trees, many bird species and a small bison (野牛) reserve.Pieniny National Park This park is on the border of Poland and Pieniny—one of the Pieniny’s most beautiful mountain ranges. By far the most popular activity is taking a raft ( 筏)down the winding Dunajec River, but there is a lot more to discover.1．Which park best suits people who want to explore the Solina Dam?A．Bieszczady National Park.B．Karkonosze National Park.C．Wolin National Park.D．Pieniny National Park.2．What can people do in the Pieniny National Park?A．Appreciate sea cliffs.B．See some small bison.C．Appreciate the highest waterfall.D．Float down the Dunajec River on a raft. 3．Where can the text be found?A．In an education brochure.B．In an art magazine.C．In a science magazine.D．In a guidebook.My first visit to London was one and a half years ago. It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for three weeks, and I had many impressions. I visited all the famous places. I'd like to tell you about some of the places I visited in this beautiful city.First, I went to the Tower of London, and I want to say that it is a very interesting historical place.I found out that a long time ago, it was a prison. Later it became a castle for the royal(皇家的) family. Or maybe it is the reverse; I'm not sure, but later they left this place and lived in Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.I also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, two very popular places for tourists. They are very old and beautiful. The Abbey is built in a kind of Gothic style; it is fantastic.In London, you can also enjoy nature. There are many parks such as Hyde Park, Green Park, and Holland Park. These parks are wonderful green, quiet places where you can relax and escape the noise of the city.Trafalgar Square is a popular place for students and other young people. You will find lots of pigeons（鸽子）there. If you have time, you can feed them and they will be very happy. You can buy special food for them, but be careful! Tons of birds are going to surround you if you feed them.Another very special place in London that I like is St. Paul's Cathedral which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. I also was impressed with the museums in London. They're very popular. I found them interesting because you can learn about the history of England.I had a wonderful time in London. I really liked it because it is a city that is rich in history. 4．The writer writes this passage to__________.A．recall (回忆）his/her first travel to LondonB．tell us he/she has visited many places.C．introduce a famous city to the readers.D．show the readers around London5．In order to avoid the noise of the city, you would like to travel to ___.A．Buckingham Palace B．Holland parkC．The Tower of London D．Westminster Abbey6．What is attractive to you most in Trafalgar Square?A．Meeting many young peopleB．Catching a lot of birdsC．Having a delicious mealD．Feeding the pigeons7．During traveling in London, the writer was _______.A．worried B．surprised C．pleased D．tiredThe old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken safety, noise and pollution factors into consideration.“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion.” said Zhou Xing, a folklore (民俗) researcher.“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,” said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Year’s Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us,” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.8．Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A．Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.B．Nowadays, people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival.C．People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.D．In the past, setting off fireworks couldn’t be seen almost anywhere.9．What does the underlined phrase “surrendering to” in the third paragraph probably mean?A．changing B．discovering C．satisfying D．leading 10．What Li Shunzhi said means ______.A．what people do during the festival now is different from the pastB．people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival EveC．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a restD．the New Year holiday is just like any other day11．What does the whole passage show?A．The Spring Festival is as lively as before.B．The Spring Festival is outdated now.C．The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.D．The Spring Festival is nothing to Chinese.While computers are incredibly useful tools, they can also be addictive. Many kids have the problem of spending too much time on the computer. Help your child overcome their own computer addiction by using the following methods.12 If you are not at home, you can change the password (密码) daily and send it to your child remotely once you’re ready to give them access (机会).13 Limit your child to using the computer for a maximum of two hours per day if they are over two years old. Children under two should not have access to any screen time.Talk with your child about their excessive computer use. Find out if there are any specific reasons why they spend so much time on the computer. 14 If your child is facing problems that are causing a desire to escape, address those with them through discussions, providing advice, or getting them help when necessary.Be a good role model. 15 Instead, be present when you are with them and work onspending more time together.Encourage them to join clubs or organizations. Find out from them what clubs or organizations are offered at their school. 16A．Set a time limit on computer use.B．Encourage your child to read books.C．Set a password for the computer that only you know.D．Don’t spend a lot of time using the computer around your child.E．Sometimes, the computer can function as an escape from reality.F．Some children may stay up late into the night in order to use the computer.G．This will provide them with another way of meeting others and developing new hobbies and interests.二、完形填空”Mommy, I got something for you!” Cody ran through the door after school. His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It’s a pen. But not just any pen.
