In a history bookBEvery place you leave becomes a memory.Even if you return to visit, in your mind it’s as it waswhen you left.I consider New York City my second hometown. You fight your way into New York City. It isn’t easy. It isn’t cheap. It isn’t so friendly. So when I got to Helsinki, the capital of Finland, I was surprised at how easy it was. People were friendly and nice. They are curious about what I thought of Finland.Except the coffee and the cost of living, Helsinki and New York don’t have much in common, but I was born in the US Midwest, which was heavily influenced by North Europe. So thelife of Finland seemed familiar to that of the US.Still, I missed New York, I visited it last year, and I went to my old coffee room, still in the same place. Although it was 2023, my mind insisted that it was 2007 and I had never left. The waiter looked at me silently, reaching for the same size cup and pouring the same type of coffee I always got. Same corner, same waiter, same coffee.To the waiter, he guessed maybe I moved to another neighborhood. He wouldn’t guess from my appearance that I haven’t even been in the country. He didn’t find that there was anything different until I opened my mouth. It was something I said, I’m sure. He mistook me for one of the tourists who got lost on their way from Times Square.In my mind, this is my home. It was the place when I dreamed of my childhood, long after I left it; and now I am the same as the other tourists with the packbag.( ) 36. Helsinki is in __________.A. FinlandB. AmericaC. New YorkD.

FinlandD. the USMidwest( ) 39. How long had the writer been away from New York before he visited it last year?A. 5B. 7C.9D. 10( ) 40. What made the coffee guy think the writer to be a tourist?A. What he looked.B. What he wore.C. What he said.D. What he did.CMark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.First, relax. If you are over worried about remembering something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh, my God! I always forget things!”Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’tremember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.( ) 41. The first two paragraphs just tell us ________.A. Barbara was a very rich personB. Mark often forgot his friends’namesC. examples of memory problemsD. language problems of two persons( ) 42. When you forget things, you ________.A. must be too carelessB. shouldn’t lose heart about your memoryC. must accept the factD. shouldn’t take notice of the result( ) 43. The word “opportunities”in the fifth paragraph means “________”.A. placesB. activitiesC. positionsD. chances( ) 44. According to the passage, ________ can make your memory better.A. realizing your memory problemsB. talking to your friendsC. making mind pictures of what you seeD. doing sports every day( ) 45. The purpose of the passage is to help you ________.A. to improve your memoryB. to introduce the guestC. to remember new wordsD. to forget unhappy things第二部分非选择题（共60分）四、阅读表达（每题2分，共10分）Your smartphone may seem like the centre of your entertainment, but a KentStateUniversity study shows that too much phone use is taking the fun right out of our spare time.Researchers watched a group of nearly 500 students and recorded their daily smartphone use. Those who were considered in the “high-use”group experienced more stress during their spare time than the other group.So what can we do in order to really take advantage of our spare time?

Samantha Brown put it in a recent passage, “I put my map in my back pocket, put down my phones and take a good, long walk. Just walk around.”Go to bed earlier. What can help improve your mood? Extra sleep, naturally. Getting the right number of sleep is very important to our health and studies show that we don’t get enough of it.Read a book. And let yourself get lost in a good story.

What do you think of stress? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?Most of the students think stress can do harm 1 them in some ways. There’s a story about a teenager in a middle school. He even 2 his study because of the stress from school and family. We also usually 3 that someone turns to psychological doctors because of heavy working stress.

For them, right attitude and action can reduce stress and make it 5 . When I was a child, my mom always pushed me to study hard. She wished I could go to an ideal 6 for further education. I experienced stress for the first time. Born to a poor family, I deeply knew 7 was not easy for us, and everything my mom did to me was just to hope I could live a better life in the future. 8 the saying goes, “no pains, no gains.” So I did what my mom expected because I didn’t want to let her down. At last, I did measure up(达到标准）to my mom’s expectation and go to college 9 . Thanks to my mom’s push! Thanks to the stress! In this way, I don’t think stress is a bad thing.Overall, stress is not a bad thing in 10 . The key is how we deal with it.1. A. for B. in C. to D. of2.

Whether we choose to keep moving around, or we choose to stay in one place, we are on a journey. That journey is not an easy one because every day it makes us face new problems in new ways.When I was a little boy, I always looked forward to the next trip or the next holiday. Maybe it is because we lived in a small and boring town. When I finished school, I kept moving. In the first year out of school, I travelled with a friend and we visited over 17 countries in Europe, working in different jobs as we went. After this, I started studying. I studied at three different universities and lived in five different towns. That was my life. There was always someone else to get to know. All this carried on for many years until I got married and had my own family. When you stay in the same place, with the same persons, you start a whole new journey.Then you will stay in the same town, choosing one place to live and one job to remain in. There you are challenged to face life, doing things such as trying hard to get along well with your boss. You have to keep on at your job when you feel like giving it up and traveling again.So rather than move around on different trips, you are on a new journey. This journey of staying still is just as important as all the travels in the world.11.Why did the writer like moving around when he was a boy?A. Because he liked being with friends.B. Because he wanted to know about the world.C. Because he lived in a boring and small town.D. Because he didn’t love his family.12. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer went to Europe alone when he left school.B. The writer kept moving during his whole life.C. After the writer got married, he tried different jobs.D. The writer thinks staying still is as important as traveling around.13.What is the best title?A. Go travelingB. Life is a long journeyC. Stay stillD. Travel makes you betterBNearly all our food comes from the soil(土壤). Some of us eat meat, of course; but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass and the waste matter from animals also falls on it.All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Animal’s wastes is the best food for the soil; but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crop(庄稼) ought not to be grown in the same place every year; it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land in good condition.14. Since plants are very important for life, _____________.A. the chemical fertilizers are more importantB. the waste matter from animals is more importantC. the soil where the plants grow is more importantD. the animals are more important15. It’s better to _______________ in the same place every year.A. have a different cropB. use different fertilizersC. grow the same plantD. keep the same grass16. Which of the following is the best for soil?A. Chemical fertilizers.B. Animal’s wastes.C. Dead leaves and dead plants.D. All kinds of grass.17. How do we make good use of the soil?A. We can change the crops in the same place every year.B. We can use good fertilizers.C. We must keep the land waste.D. Both A and B.C“You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall get a gift for what you did.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn’t know it was the Queen’s horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn’t worry about their food any more--all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!18. The Queen gave Peter a gift because.A. he saved her horseB. he was smartC. she liked himD. he was poor19. Peter decided to choose the.A. jewelsB. mirrorC. chickenD. silver frame20. From Para.3-5, we can know that.A. it was difficult for Peter to make the choiceB. all the men thought Peter’s decision was rightC. Peter thought the chicken would be useful to his familyD. Peter knew the jewels weren’t real before he made the choice21. The right order of Peter’s story is.a. Peter got a well-paid job.b. Peter chose the gift wisely.c. Peter could get a gift for what he did.d. Peter would help his family have a better life.A. d c b aB. c b a dC. c b d aD. c a d b22. After reading the passage, we can infer(推断) that.A. Peter only thought of himselfB. Peter couldn’t take good care of the Queen’s horsesC. chickens became the popular gifts in their countryD. it was wise of Peter to choose something that he knew wellDThe Smith family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Smith children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many advantages to knowing more than one language.If you can speak more than one language, you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.It’s clear that knowing more than one language is really good. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.23. The passage begins with the experience of the Smith family in order to_______.A. discuss the need for teaching a new languageB. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readersC. describe the advantages of moving to another countryD. show the problems of speaking only one language24. The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 4) means “people who know ______.”A. their mother languageB. a new languageC. more than one languageD. body language25. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?A. Not knowing another language.B. Forgetting one’s mother language.C. Refusing to learn another language.D. Failing to communicate with others.26. What is the passage mainly about?A. The advantages of learning other languages.B. The reasons why people come to America.C. The importance of learning EnglishD. How to learn another languageE阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

On my way home on the bus every evening I used to look for an old man who of ten played his saxophone(萨克斯管) near the river.I couldn't hear his music because the windows were closed on the bus but I imagined it to be loud and. clear. I wanted to be like that man.One night I went to Himeji, a city not far from Kobe. As I walked with my family along the river, I saw a statue. It was a young man who looked just like me. He was 'wearing a cap and smiling. Around his neck was a leather strap(皮带) and in his hands was a saxophone. He was lifting the saxophone to his lips and he was just about to play. I stayed there for a long time by the statue dreaming of playing a saxophone on TV.Two weeks later it was my birthday. Imagine my joy when I opened my present from my parents arid found that it was a saxophone! I put it to my lips to play, but it wouldn't make a sound. Then Dad told me to read the instruction book to find outwhat to do. After about 15 minutes the saxophone was ready to play. I raised it slowly to my lips as my family watched. But still there was no sound. I blew and blew but I couldn't get the saxophone to play. I was almost crying when suddenly the saxophone made the most beautiful sound-loud and clear-like the music of the man by the riverin Kobe which I imagined. I blew again, and I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. I was happy because I was playing very interesting sounds. But I wasn't playing music yet.Then came the lessons. Night after night, week after week my teacher made me practice. Slowly I started to improve and at last there came the magic day when I started to play music. Now I'm in the TV studio with my saxophone strapped to my neck and my cap on my head. I'm always thinking of the man by the river in Kobe and the statue smiling at me in Himeiji.

Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign(光盘行动).The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food "Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven't got enough to eat? Could you please not waste food?" They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in last January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. It's a tradition that Chinese people offer lots of food when they invite others to dinner. Many even feel that they will lose face if their guests have eaten all their food.Luckily the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers(剩饭,剩菜) home.Wasting food is a serious problem around the world, not only in China. It's said that 2 billion tons(吨) of food ends up as waste every year in our country. This is as much as half of all the food in the world. The UN Environment Program and the Food and Agriculture Organization held a "Think, Eat, Save" program on January 24, 2013to help reduce food waste.To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It's important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?( )33. The Clean Your Plate Campaign calls on people to _______.A. do volunteer workB. work part time in restaurantsC. stop wasting foodD. wash their plates after dinner( )34. What did the restaurant in Xinjiang do to support the campaign?A. The owner would have dinner with those who had eaten up their food.B. It offered a free meal to the guests who had finished all their food ten times.C. It gave stickers to the guests who ordered small dishes.D. It encouraged customers to take leftovers home.( )35. From the passage, we can know that _______.A. wasting food is a serious problem in ChinaB. Chinese people waste the most food in JanuaryC. 200 million Chinese people invite others to dinner every dayD. Chinese people usually don't offer enough food to their guests( )36. You can probably read this passage _______.A. in a science bookB. in a newspaperC. in a tourist guideD. in an advertisementDHave you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists（灵学家）say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a "sixth sense" really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist(心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared(盯着)at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects(受试者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't. .Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, Baker said, "I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves."( )37. The aim of the two experiments is to _______.A. explain when people can have a sixth senseB. study how people act while being watched in the labC. study whether humans can sense when they are stared atD. prove why humans have a sixth sense( ) 38. The underlined word "outcome" in the last paragraph most probably means"______".A. valueB. resultC. performanceD. connection( )39. In the second experiment, the subjects _______.A. could tell when they were stared atB. could tell when they weren't stared atC. couldn't tell when they were stared at or when they stared at othersD. couldn't tell when they were stared at or when they weren't( )40. What can be learned from the passage?A. People are born with a sixth sense.B. The experiments support parapsychologists' idea.C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.D. People have a sixth sense in all places.四．词汇检测（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。

Lisa said to him.Henry thought for a while and agreed. Then he began to paint the fence in the hot sun. As their neighbors passed by and saw Henry, they all praised Henry for what he did. Henry felt happy and proud. He felt like his life was not pointless any more.Henry finally understood Lisa's purpose. She wanted Henry to know that staying busy could help him forget his sorrow（悲伤）.
