You may learn about a disease on Sunday.I’ve been having trouble concentrating on one thing. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be abl e to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day —with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”Inspired and touched, I began to keep trying hard in my study and struggled against attention problems. I believe one can find his way out of difficulty with determination (决心) and efforts.4、Why didn’t the author finish his reading in class?A. He missed several classes before.B. He was not a bit interested in literature.C. He was unable to concentrate on his task.D. He was used to doing his homework at home.5、What do we know about Louis Braille from the text?A. He was poor.B. He was well-educated.C. He was shortsighted.D. He was very creative.6、What kind of teacher is Mrs. Smith according to the text?A. Impatient.B. Encouraging.C. Disappointing.D. Careless.7、What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. You can never be too old to learn.B. Do not judge a book by its cover.C. One good turn deserves another.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.Sitting close with your little ones from an early age and enjoying a book together is always a great way to spend time, but do you know reading to your children has a whole range of benefits that will give them a flying start in life?Firstly, it’s a great introduction to vocabulary. Seeing an adult sounding out the words and linking them to the shapes on the page begins to build up vocabulary that they will use for the rest of their life.Then there are a variety of good effects of hearing stories which improve their minds and develop social awareness and skills. At a time when they are perhaps stuck indoors more than ever before, reading is the best way to motivate (激发) children’s imagination. They canhad lunch!There’s no better way to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes than reading their stories and seeing things from another’s point of view is a great way to build empathy (共鸣), tolerance and other qualities needed. There are some fantastic children’s books which show characters acting as strong role models. These stories can encourage future leaders and thinkers, so every child can feel they can achieve their dreams, from the Little Leaders series to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls (叛逆女孩).Now is the perfect time to build up a library of excellent reads ready for children to enjoy now and in the future. They will create memories to last a lifetime. On top of the benefits for your little ones, it’．s fun, relaxing and a great chance to go back and reread the best books from your own childhood.8、What kind of people is the text written for?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Leaders.9、What does the underlined phrase “pop into” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Start.B.Visit.C.Build.D.Leave.10、In which way does Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls do good to children?A.Going to bed easily at bedtime.B.Building good qualities.C.Building a strong body.D.Bringing back sweet memories.11、What is the text mainly about?A. Children’s reading habits.B. Children’s reading materials.C. Benefits of reading to children.D. Ways of reading children’s books.Begun 30 years ago, the Kubuqi desert greening project has succeeded in not only controlling the fast growth of the seventh-largest desert in China, about the size of Kuwait, but also turning about 6,000 square kilometers of the desert — one-third of it — green.The desert lies about 800 kilometers to the west of Beijing in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region (自治区) and the greening efforts have also controlled desertification (沙漠化) in the rest of the area.The project, which began about 30 years ago, can be looked to as an example of efforts to advance green development, in order to create harmony between humans and nature, and leave a better environment for future generations.The success of the project, which has been praised by the UN Environment Programme as an “eco-pioneer”, sets an example for successful desertification control and ecosystem improvement based on effective government policies, supported by investment (投资) in the eco-industry and combined with the efforts of local farmers. These three aspects are key to the success of the “Kubuqi model”.Elion, a private ecology (生态) and investment company, has invested about 38billion yuan ($5.82 billion) in the Kubuqi desert-greening project since 1988 helping to lift about 102,000 local farmers out of poverty. For example, the locals grow a drought-tolerant (耐旱) plant, Chinese licorice, which is the most used herb in traditional Chinese medicine. The plant helps enrich the desert soil, with the bacteria around the roots of the plants producing nitrogen(氮气). Besides, Cistanche, another type of drought-tolerant herb, was introduced after the successful planting of licorice. Under the company’s guidan ce and with the local government’s support, the local people benefit from the “environmental wealth”.More companies should be encouraged to apply the “Kubuqi model” in other desert control projects in Inner Mongolia and neighboring Gansu province, where the climate conditions are similar but not quite the same, so as to further gain experience and enrich the model in practice. Showing it can be successfully applied in other areas will help promote themodel worldwide.12、What do we know about the Kubuqi greening project?A. It increases the areas of desert.B. It has turned all of the desert green.C. It has achieved satisfying results.D. It is applied all over the world.13、Which is NOT the reason for the success of the “Kubuqi model”?A. Efforts of local farmers.B. Government policies’ support.C. Investment in the eco-industry.D. Help from the UN Environment Programme.14、How does the author develop paragraph 5?A. By following the time order.B. By giving examples.C. By giving a definition (定义).D. By making comparisons.15、What is the author’s attitude towards the greening project?A. Negative.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Indifferent.二、七选五16、Circumnavigating the planet (环球旅行) and stopping off wherever you like is the final trip for many travelers. ①_________Here is a guide to get you started.How to do it②_________Theoretically (理论上) any routing is possible, but knowing how the RTW booking system works will make your trip cheaper. For example, the Star Alliance (联盟) has 27 airlines which fly to 1,185 airports in 185 countries, and offers a RTW ticket with a maximum of 15 stops. But there are rules: you must follow one global direction and you must start and finish in the same country.When to goThe weather will never be ideal in all of your stops. ③_________ If a Himalaya hike is your highlight, do not land in Nepal mid-monsoon (季风中) season; if you want to swim with whale sharks off the coast of Western Australia, be there between April and July. In general,city sightseeing can be done year-round but outdoor adventures are more reliant on — and enjoyable in — the right weather.④_________The classic (and cheapest) RTW tickets flit between a few big cities, for example, London — Bangkok — Singapore — Sydney — LA. If you want to link more offbeat (另类的) places, prices will climb considerably. The cost of the ticket is based on the total distance covered or the number of countries visited. ⑤_________ Your daily outgoings will be far higher in Europe and North America than in South-East Asia. Indonesia, Bolivia and India are particularly cheap.A. Where to goB. How long will you needC. So, focus on what you want to do most and research conditions there.D. You could travel around the world in a weekend if you flew non-stop.E. Also, if budget (预算) is an issue, spend more time in less expensive countries.F. But booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip can be a complex (复杂的) business.G. The most economical (经济的) way is to buy a RTW air ticket that uses one airline alliance.三、完形填空（15空）My brother Henry and I were driving home when he took a wrong turn.

AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B．A．R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B．A．R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B．A．R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1．What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A．Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B．Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C．Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D．The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2．Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B．A．R.

B．University of Oxford.C．University of Illinois. D．University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones. That’s a global happening. I hope, however, that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods, we might all be more willing to change. 4．Why is “junk food” mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To entertain readers.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make an advertisement.D．To keep readers away from it.5．What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2?A．The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B．Print newspapers have become less popular.C．Stories about death have become less popular.D．Negative reporting has been increasing over years. 6．What may negative reports lead people to do?A．Live a hopeful life.B．Become more careful.C．Become less likely to help others.D．Pay more attention to their physical health.7．What does the underlined word “phub” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Ignore B．Hate C．Laugh at D．Care about8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Survey on News Reading Habits B．Negative Effects of Mobile PhonesC．Is Online News Better Than Print?D．Is Junk News a Danger to Health?CThere was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9．What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A．An invisible chair.B．An old chair.C．A real chair.D．Nothing.10．Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A．To see whether Mario could sit on it. B．To test who were Mario’s true friends.C．To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D．To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11．How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A．He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B．He managed to sit on the chair finally.C．His friends held him up with their hands. D．His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12．What does the story tell us?A．Never laugh at our friends. B．True friends can help us do magic.C．True friends are those who care for us. D．Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question：What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任)：Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13．According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A．We will have no problems with studyB．We will get a better seat in the classroomC．We will get the best scores in the examsD．We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14．What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A．The happy time you have in the classroomB．Getting along very well with classmatesC．A better relationship between you and your teacherD．The disappearance of personality differences15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The importance of friendship in schools.B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C．Studying skills for students.D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16．As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A．You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB．You are thought of as a good studentC．You know some basic social skillsD．You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分，共5分，根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life. When you cross the finish line you may never have a 49 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing.

But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What’s your name” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names Where do they come from What do they meanPeople’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names.A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook 小溪; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter— a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added–s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.36. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOTcover A. Places where people lived. B. People’s characters.C. Talents that peopl e possessed.D. People’s occupations.37. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containersD. built houses and furniture38.

George LongstreetD. Donald GreenwoodBSalvador Dali 1904-1989 was one of the most popular of modern artists.

The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities无限. “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration合作 with the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.39.

He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such a fun to stick your finger through one of theholes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every one." One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read. "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs." Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the groom, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s dea th, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. "What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas" he asked."The letters"'I guess you never knew.""Knew what""Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street It was your dad who answered all those letters every year."I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several ofthe people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift ofa lifetime.46. It can be inferred推断 from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as __________.A. great chances to help other peopleB. happy occasions to play with baby chickensC. exciting experience with a lot of funD. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies47. The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that ________.A. Dad had a strong sense of dutyB. Dad was an honest and reliable manC. Dad had a strong sense of honorD.

He must have drowned.Now with only one bookshop in town,business was better for George.But sometimes he sat in his narrow,old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window,thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him?George was very interested in old dictionaries.He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition.When the parcel arrived,the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted.But while he was having lunch,George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!

ConditionsLaj amanu,Australia,is a dry little town,sitting right on the edge of the Tanami desert.Can you imagine how surprised people were when live fish rained down on them from a darkgray cloud.It happens that there are similar cases in England and Honduras.How do clouds make fishy?The simple answer is that they don’t.There is a particular weather phenomenon(现象)called a waterspout.A waterspout is just like a tornado（龙卷风）,only it forms above oceans,lakes,or rivers.Like a tornado,a waterspout moves in a circle at high speeds.When it moves above the water,it tends to carry the fish with it,as well as frogs orother small plants or animals.Scientists couldn’t work it out at first.To make matters stranger still,the fish in Honduras were very much alive when they rained down to the ground,but they were all blind.In England and Australia,it rained fish and snakes,and none were blind.It was difficult to puzzle out,but the blind fish gave them a place to start.Scientists knew that some fish that lived in deep,underground caves with no light sources often lost their eyesight.So when blind fish rained down on Honduras,scientists began toconnect some clues（线索，提示）.Clearly,these particular fish were pulled from an underground water sourceby force.It has rained fish on every continent,and each time,people have tried in various ways to explain this strange phenomenon.Historically,villagers thought the“fishes from the heavens”might be answers to prayers（祈祷）for food.Others suggested that floods overran river banks and oceans,leaving the fish on the city streets.No scientist had actually seen the rain as it occurred, only the fish left on the ground.But in1990,a National Geographic team happened to be in Honduras when the Rain of Fishes began.They recorded what was happening and made historyby finally proving that the fish really did fall from the sky.This huge breakthrough wasn’t just a spot of good luck.It changed thousands of yearsof myths（虚构的事；谬论）and legends into true stories and provided scientific explanations for how fish came to live in deep caves.It explained ancient cave paintings and cast（投射光线）new light on how species have spread over time.It turned out to be a lot more than just a little fishy weather.68.According to the passage,a waterspout________.A.can make animals blindB.is difficult to catch on filmC.can carry items（物品）with itD.is a dangerous sea creature69.The blind fish made the scientists start to think that________.A.raining fish was a warning of natural disastersB.animals changed to match their environmentsC.the weather system differed from place to placeD.the waterspout theory seemed more possible70.The first sentence in the last paragraph probably suggests that________.A.waterspouts came to be a center of scientific researchB.the scientists were fortunate to have made their discoveriesC.hard work went into determining the cause for the raining fishD.the scientists relied heavily on unusual events to drive their studies71.The author writes the passage to________.A.explain what caused the fishy weatherB.describe the magic phenomenonC.persuade people to protect the environmentD.encourage people to do scientific research(D)A study involving8,500teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant（无知的）when it comes to money.The findings,the first in a series of reports from NatWesl that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money,arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees(学费)are currently capped at£3,000annually,but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research,the teenagers were presented with terms(条款）of four different loans but 76per cent failed to identify the cheapest.The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average£31.000by the age of25,although the average salary for those aged22to29is just£17,815.The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training,although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than£10.000.Average debts for graduates are £12，363.Stephen Moir,head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest,said."The more exposed young people are to financial issues,and the younger they become aware of them,the more likely they arc to become responsible,forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs.They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts.Nikki Fairweathcr.aged15.from St Helens,said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance,but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.72.Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A.Students understand personal finances differently.B.University tuition fees in England have been rising.C.Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D.The students'payback ability has become a major issue.73.The phrase"to raise the ceiling"in paragraph2probably means"______".A.to raise the student loansB.to improve the school facilitiesC.to increase the upper limit of the tuition（学费）D.to lift the school building roofs74.According to Stephen Moir,students_______.A.are too young to be exposed10financial issuesB.should learn to manage their finances wellC-should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD.benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance75.What can we learn from the passage?A.Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB.Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C.Financial planning is a required course at college.D.Young people should become responsible adults.Section C（8分）Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Its goal is to have good,clean,fair food for all people.B.Today,there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food.C.It should arrive on our plates in the cleanest and most environmentally responsible way.D.All people should be able to purchase healthy food.E.This event wasn’t the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement.F.Today the Slow Food Movement has already expanded out of Italy.The Slow Food Movement started in Rome,Italy in1986.When a new McDonalds was opening near a beautiful historic place,some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted,“We do not want fast food.We want slow food!”(76)________One day Carlo Petrini went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal.But thefood didn’t taste the same as he remembered.He learned that the peppers were shipped from abroad because the prices were low.This deeply concerned Carlo.Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods madetheir culture special.So he started a group to encourage this idea.It soon became the Slow Food Movement.(77)________First,what is good food?Good food is fresh.The vegetables are eaten close to the placewhere they are grown.The fish hasn’t been sitting for days before it is eaten.Good food is seasonable.It should be grown at the best time of the year for that food.Good food satisfies the senses.It should look good,smell good and taste good.And finally,good food is cultural food. Each country has special foods that make it different.Second,food should be clean.(78)________Farmers use chemicals to kill insects andfeed plants.But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms.Over time, they can cause health problems in people too.Clean food means food that does not harm our bodies or the environment.And third,food should be fair.Food should not cost too much money.(79)________Thepeople who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work.They should work in safe, Healthy conditions.第二卷I.Translation.(3+4+4+5=16分)80.作为学生，我们不应该无视校纪校规。

At that time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples—a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word "head" should be spelled “hed”, and the word“laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster’s suggestions.However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”.With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write.

But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.21.

Your English is progressing well. The grammar is now familiar. The reading comprehension（理解）is no problem. You are communicating quite fluently（流利地）. 26 .First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.27 . The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from , which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (使沮丧) by limited understanding. 28 .Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Keep cool when you do not understand --- even if you continue not to understand for a long time.29 . Don’t concentrate on (专注于) details until you have understood the main idea.30 . This approach (方法) usually results in confusion（困惑）. Translating leads toa kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn't allow us to understand anything at all!By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.B. What should you do?C. Do not translate everything into your native language.D. This situation leads to less -- not more -- understanding.E. The next step is to find listening resources.F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.G. But listening is still a problem.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分15分）6.（15分）There are a thousand heroes in a thousand people’s eyes.

As the year progressed, I began to smile again.Then one day that all changed. My friends or those that I thought were my friends—started talking about me behind my back. I was 38 , sitting by myself. Mr. Wright came over and asked what was wrong. The look in his eyes told me that I could 39 him. Trying hard to fight back tears, I told him the whole story.“If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth 40 your joy.” What Mr. Wright said really struck a chord in my heart. He 41 cared about me and what was going on. I’m really grateful, because he not only saved me but has 42 my life ever since. Whenever I feel like giving up, I remember Mr. Wright’s words and 43 . Eventually, I beat my depression and now enjoy being in the best choir at my school.Mr. Wright is a hero to me and everyone he meets.

陕西省西安市2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题(含答案)
陕西省西安市2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题姓名：__________班级：__________考号：__________题号一二三四五总分评分一、第一部分阅读，第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读理解A British sleep expert,professor Chris Idzikowski,did a research showing that there was some connection between the way people sleep and their personality.The fetal positionThe fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the mother's stomach.It is the most common position in the world.People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety.They are often shy and sensitive.In the fetal position,a sleeper's body is like a ball as he lies on one side with legs and arms bent.Adults usually sleep in this position.The starfish positionWhen sleeping like a starfish,you lie on your back with arms up near the pillow.Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship.People who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.If you have a starfish sleeper as a best friend,you're in luck.Starfish sleepers are great listeners and a source of comfort to others.The freefall positionIn the freefall position,sleepers have their hands on or around their pillows,with their heads turned to one side. Freefall sleepers are social but sensitive and can become upset by extreme situations.They like to be in control of everything around their life.It's all part of their long periods of indecision,but once they make a choice,they stick to it. This position can aid in digestion(消化).The log positionFor those who suffer from back pain,the log position could be helpful for you.Log sleepers have both their arms and legs extended,so their bodies are straight like a log.Log sleepers are very trusting,but are usually social and easy-going individuals.Idzikowski claims that preferring a log position suggests that a person is sociable and can communicate with others easily.1．What's the personality of people sleeping in fetal position?A．Social and easy-going.B．Sensitive and social.C．Friendly and positive.D．Shy and sensitive.2．Which of the following is most suitable to be a friend?A．A fetal sleeper.B．A starfish sleeper.C．A freefall sleeper.D．A log sleeper.3．What can we know about log sleepers?A．They do well in sports.B．They are good listeners.C．They are easy to get along with.D．They have difficulty making decisions.阅读理解The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad days and that we care enough and take actions.A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this,and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.A few years ago,Rachel attended a trauma(精神创伤)conference.She learned that some police stations partnered with schools.They could let teachers know when their students need help,patience or extra care.A year after the conference,Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days.To support the student,Rachel told the student's mom to simply text her"Handle with Care"to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time."When she would text me,I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help,not going to the playground for morning announcements(通告),so that the rest of her daughter's day went well,"Rachel said.The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents.It explained what the"Handle with Care"system was and how they could make use of it.In no time,the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel's unbelievable act of kindness.But Rachel's kindness didn't end with her class.News spread of the amazing system,and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class.Printed materials could be found on the school website,and the feedback(反馈)has been extremely positive!4．What happened to Rachel a few years ago?A．She met with a policeman.B．She noticed some students in need.C．She acted as a host at a contest.D．She raised a girl with autism.5．What can we imagine Rachel probably did to the girl student?A．She asked to stop the morning announcements.B．She talked with her in the playground.C．She took her home ahead of time.D．She comforted her at a quiet place.6．How did the parents treat Rachel's system?A．They paid no attention to it.B．They changed it in daily use.C．They accepted it thankfully.D．They introduced it to others personally.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A proper system.B．A considerate teacher.C．A story going online.D．A class influencing the nation.阅读理解The characteristic(特征)of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention.Whether shyness is part of your children's personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers,it is a common experience,according to a study.To look at shyness,researchers brought152children aged7-8into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children.The study showed that about10%of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech.About25%of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents,but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech.This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children's temperament(性情).For children at this age,shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task.For a smaller group of shy children,however,being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.A shy temperament isn't always valued by society like an outgoing personality,but that doesn't mean there is something wrong.Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment.And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren't likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem,parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children.Importantly,however,we know that not all shy children are the same,and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.8．What can we learn from paragraph1?A．Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.B．Shyness is born with personality.C．Shyness will appear when one is in public.D．Shyness means not communicating with others.9．What is the finding of the study?A．Few kids like to give a speech to others.B．Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.C．Some kids appear less shy with their parents.D Some kids are stressed when being separated.10．What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children?A．Bring them to crowded space.B．Care for them and give them confidence.C．Keep them away from shyness.D．Let them be alone.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．When are people shy?B．Ways of beating shynessC．Why is shyness a bad thing?D．The discoveries about shyness阅读理解Humans are not the animal world's only fashion followers.Tits(山雀)can be one of them,too.A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that,given the chance,they make their nests(巢穴)with this season's must-have color.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests.This also suggested fashion-following—and it led Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.The birds they followed carried instruments on them.That allowed researchers to follow a large number of tits by their arrival at food dispensers(自动取物装置)throughout the woods.One day in March2021,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin used five dispensers with wool rather than food.Each contained two colors—either orange and pink or blue and purple—but all were rigged to give only one of these.This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser.At that moment,the other color was discovered, too.As a comparison,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area,each providing two colors from the beginning.Of68tits'nests,26included wool from a dispenser.Of these,18were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers.Even so,10of that18included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers.By contrast(相比之下),all8nests with wool have mixed colors,which showed a clear difference in the record.Tits,then,do seem to be"in fashion"when it comes to nest-building materials.Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.12．Why are the same plants put into nests by the tits?A．They want to beautify their nests.B．They find no other plants.C．They are used to doing this.D．They want to keep warm.13．What does the underlined word"rigged"in paragraph4mean?A．Refused.B．Warned.C．Forced.D．Arranged.14．What method is mainly used in the experiment?A．Testing colors.B．Observing activities.C．Comparing results.D．Checking numbers.15．What is the author's attitude to the research?A．Disappointed.B．Supportive C．Doubtful.D．Unclear.二、第一部分阅读，第二节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances. He was always prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency.Confidently，he stood outside the house of his intended victim（受害者）and read the sign on thefront gate of the house.“Don #39;t worry about the dog—be aware of the owner！”i t said.Buster smiled and found his way in.The house looked quite normal outside，but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display.As he began putting them into his bag，a dog came into the room.It stopped when it saw Buster，then wagged its tail madly and went over to him，licking his outstretched hand.“Good boy，”Buster whispered. “What a great guard dog you are—trying to lick me to death.”Satisfied he #39;d made friends with the dog，Bluster began to wander round the house，choosing items to put in his bag.His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques（古董）：a pair of silver candleholders，a silver tea-and-coffee service，etc..His new friend，the dog，sat and watched，as if wondering what was happening.“Well，boy，”Buster whispered，finally.“That might do.Any more and I won #39;t be able to carry it！”He swung the heavy bag onto his shoulders， just as the lights came on， nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his hand.“You #39;re a very silly person，“ the figure（身影） in the doorway said. As the man came closer，Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar， but Buster couldn #39;t quite be sure of the place where he had seen him before.“You should have taken more notice of the sign outside，“ the man rasped. “I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to robthe house of the world #39;s greatest fortune-teller （算命先生）！“54. Why was Buster so confidentA. He was not afraid of dogs.B. He knew the owner of the house lived aloneC. He had never been caught by the police.D. The house had no security alarm.55. Which of the following is closest in meaningto the word “exotic“ in the third paragraphA. Messy and untidy.B. Rich and expensive.C. fortable and calming.D. Foreign and unusual.56. How did Buster decide which objects to takeA. He took those that were easy to carry in his bag.B. He took only the best antiques.C. He took those that he knew he could sell easily.D. He looked for silver objects.57. What punishment waits for Buster BrownA. A prison sentence with hard labour.B. A long prison sentence.C. A heavy fine.D. munity service for 20 years.B.When you are curious about something， and want to know more about it， you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The steps below can guide you during the research.Step 1 On a note card or piece of paper， write down the subject that you are interested in. Just get the main idea down. For exle， you might write: Discover more about dinosaurs.Step 2 Next， stop and think for a moment about what you already know about your subject. List what you already know like the sentences below:1. Dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared.2. Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years.3. Some dinosaurs fed on plants， some on meat.Step 3 What can you do with what you want to learn By asking questions. On your paper， start writingdown questions about the dinosaurs as you think of them:1. What’s the best weather for dinosaurs to live in2. How many kinds of dinosaurs are there3. Have dinosaurs really disappearedStep 4 Armed with your list of questions， you can now go to the nearest library or puter to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject，you’ll probably discover some new questions.For exle， you might discover that dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago. Why What happened Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.The next time you find something interesting to research， take time to organize your thinking by asking good questions. And remember—learning more always bring more questions.58. When you do some research， you should take the following steps: .①list what you want to know ②choose a research subject③list what you already know ④discover new problemsA.①④③②B.②③①④C.③②④①D.④③①②59. What does the underlined sentence “Armed with your list of questions” meanA.Putting your list of questions under your arm.B.Discussing your questions with your classmates.C.Writing down your list of questions.D.Taking your list of questions with you.60. According to the passage， which of the following is TRUEA.You can find all the answers online.B.Learn more，and you’ll have no questions.C.During the research， you may keep finding new questions.D.Asking questions is the only way for research.61. The best title for this passage is .A.Discovering DinosaursB.Asking Good QuestionsC.Finding SubjectsD.Having Interesting AnswersC.To what degree can a puter achieve intelligenceThe answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US puter program called Smarter Child and the Inter.If you ran into Smarter Child online， you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memor y. It can recite many facts. For exle， Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However， if you ask Smarter Child other questions，you get strange answers. A question about Smarter Child’s age returns. “One year， 11 days， 16 hours， 7 minutes， and 47 seconds！” Asking where he lives gets，“In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling， for instance， Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather，he visits .intellicast..Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Inter， an artificial being with the bined knowledge of， say， Albert Einstein， Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However， if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-puter David in the movie A. I. Artificial Intelligence， he must overe two problems.The first is that puters find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways. That’s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process information more exactly and faster than any human， he lacks mon sense—a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child.62.From the text we can infer that .intellicast.is a website .A.where we people can find Smarter ChildB.which is specially designed to help Smarter ChildC.where weather forecasts are madeD.which is about artificial intelligence63.It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to .A.learn the ability to tell right behaviors from wrong ones.B.tell us how to spell a difficult wordC.provide us with a famous poem by ShakespeareD.tell us how the American government is run64.The underlined “it ” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.A.where to look for the weatherB.Smarter Child.C.a much more difficult taskD.to read web pages65.Which of the following is the best title for the passageA.A New Web ChildB.Intelligence DevelopmentC.Smarter ChildD.The Future of InterDFirst the ground shook in Haiti， then Chile and Turkey. The earthquakes keep ing hard and fast thisyear， causing people to wonder if something evil （邪恶的）is happening underfoot. It’s not.While it may seem as if there are more earthquakes occurring，there really aren’t. Th e problem is what’s happening above ground， not underground，experts say. More people are moving into big cities that happen to be built in quake zones，and they’re rapidly putting up buildings that can’t withstand （经受） earthquakes， scientists believe. And around-the-clock news coverage （报道） and better earthquake monitoring（监测） make it seem as if earthquakes are ever-present.“I can definitely tell you that the world is not ing to an end，” said Bob Holdsworth， an expert in tectonics （筑造学） at Durharn University in the UK.A 7.0 magnitude quake in January killed more than 230，000 people in Haiti. Last month， an 8.8 magnitude quake--- the fifth-strongest since 1900—killed more than 900 people in Chile. And two weeks ago， a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey， killing at least 57 people.On average， there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9， according to the US Geological Survey. This year is off to a fast start with 40 so far—more than in most years for that time period.But that’s because the 8.8 quake in Chile generated a large number of strong aftershocks， and so many quakes early this year skews （扭曲） the picture， said Paul Earle， a US seismologist （地震学家）.Also，it’s not the number of quakes， but their devastating impacts（破坏性的影响） that gain attention， with the death tolls （死亡人数） largely due to construction standards （building standard）and crowding，Earle added. “The standard mantra （咒语）is earthquakes don’t kill people， buildings do，” he said.There have been more deaths over the past decades from earthquakes， said University of Colorado geologist Roger Bilham. In an opinion column lastmonth in the journal Nature， Bilham called for better construction standards in the world’s big cities.Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than 1 million， more than half are prone （倾向于） to earthquakes， Bilham said.Developing nations， where populations are growing，don’t pay attention to earthquake preparedness，Bilham said.” If you have a problem feeding yourself， yo u’re not really going to worry about earthquakes.”Another reason quakes seem worse is that we’re paying attention more. The Haiti earthquake quickly followed by the 8.8 in Chile made everyone start to think.But it won’t last， said US disaster researcher Deniis Mileti. “People are paying attention to the violent pla we’ve always lived on，” Mileti said.”e back in another six months if there has been no earthquakes， most people will have forgotten it again. ”66. What is the main idea of the articleA. The number of earthquakes is increasing this year.B. The reasons why earthquakes are so devastating.C. The reasons why recent earthquakes have struck large cities.D. Why earthquakes seem to be more serious this year.67. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the seeming increase in earthquakes this year，according to the articleA. Greater underground activity.B. A larger number of buildings prone to damage during earthquakes.C. Around-the-clock news coverage.D. Better earthquake monitoring.68. According to the article， it is safe to say that ______.A. there is an evil force beneath the world’s surfaceB. large cities are always built in quake zonesC. enough attention has been paid to reducing the impact of earthquakesD. the earthquake in Chili caused many aftershocks.69. According to the article， the greater damageof earthquakes this year can be mainly caused by______.A. the occurrence of larger earthquakesB. not enough warnings about earthquakesC. poor construction standards and overcrowdingD. an increase in large cities第二卷（45分）五、选词组填空从方框内的词组中选择适当的词组并用其正确形式填空，使下列句子意思和结构完整。

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health；otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.9. What can we learn from Professor Hood's words?A. Leaming has got to be active and experiential.B. Mental health is as important as physical health.C, Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.D, Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.10.What words can best describe the course?B. Pioneering and useful.A. Long and complex.D. Interesting and educational.C. Cheap and professional.11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph?B. By focusing on ourselves.A. By interacting with others.D. By avoiding negative friendsC. By learning a new course.DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick13. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive,C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consumingC. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15. What's the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
