AFour cinemas in the UKThe Kinema, LincolnshireIt’s a wooden building on the outside and a twoscreen cinema on the inside, all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village. The Kinema showed its first film in 1922 and the first six rows were deckchair (折叠帆布躺椅). Today, it’s more richly decorated.“People e here because it’s a fantastic experience,” says manager Philip Jones. “Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything tha t makes it special.”The Cube, BristolIt’s not really a cinema. It is a notforprofit cooperative run by volunteers, which has been operating for the last 15 years.They are “unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding.” They make many things themselves, such as cola and yogurt.The Broadway, NottinghamA cinema has been here since the 1960s, when local fashion designer Paul Smith would e to see arty foreign films, which heavily influenced his career choice. Later, hedesigne d the stripy(条纹的) sofas.The Broadway was previously used as a church, but locals love it for its independent, art house, and DIY spirit. The Broadway also has a righton restaurant, with locally sourced vegetables and salads, and even serves its own beer.The Rex, HertfordshireIt opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK. There’s a varied program with different films every night. Hot dogs and popcorn are banned.And a real person answers the phone when you call.People speak very highly of the Rex. So do go, if only once, to see just how a cinema should be run.21.In Philip Jones' opinion, the Kinema may attract people who ________．A．live in the nearby villages B．are fond of rich decorationsC．are interested in wooden structures D．want to experience something special 22.The Cube and the Broadway are similar in the way that they both ________．A．are non－profit cooperatives B．show arty foreign filmsC．offer homemade drinks D．use stripy sofas23.Which of the following has the longest history?A．The Kinema. B．The Cube. C．The Broadway. D．The Rex.BAs early as 1894, the newly formed International Olympic mittee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.In 1911, a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm.Some opposed the idea.At last, the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916. However, World WarⅠbroke out in 1914. After 1920, the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps, planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924; at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics.The Marquis de Polignac, a member of the IOC, suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games.The IOC didn't go that far, but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”．The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to pete in bobsledding(雪橇比赛), figure-skating, hockey, Nordic skiing and speed skating.Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal in the 500-metre speed skating, but the festival's hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals, three of which were gold in speed skating.Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics and so it was atChamonix.The festival opened with rain and the unseasonably warm temperature turned snow and ice to mud.Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.Despite the weather, more than 10，000 people showed up.In 1926, the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Games would be held every four years, just like the Summer Olympics.24．Why were the first Winter Olympic Games not held in 1916?A．Because the IOC didn't agree to it.B．Because it was still under discussion.C．Because some people opposed the idea.D．Because World WarⅠbroke out in 1914.25．We can know from the passage that ________．A．the weather destroyed the first Winter OlympicsB．people from 16 countries watched the first Winter OlympicsC．Charles Jewtraw won the most medals in the first Winter OlympicsD．Finland got 3 gold medals in speed skating in the first Winter Olympics 26．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The Winter Olympics were held every two years in the beginning.B．The 1924 Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics were held in the same city.C. The Winter Olympics depend much more on the weather than the Summer Olympics.D．The IOC agreed to recognize the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics in 1924. 27．What's the best title for the passage?A．The development of the OlympicsB．The importance of weather in the OlympicsC．The story of the first Winter Olympic GamesD．How the Winter Olympics came into beingCIn China, red is known to be a lucky color. But you may be surprised to know that British culture is also full of the color red. It’s true: Go to Britain and you will see red everywhere. There are red postboxes on street corners and on the sides of buildings. The British red phone box is famous all over the world. The famous doubledecker bus is red. Redis the color traditionally worn by British soldiers in war ,and there is red in the UK’s Union Jack national flag. Britain even has a famous team of stunt (特) jet fighters (喷气式战斗机)called“The Red Arrows”.To go with British cultures love of red, British nature also features many red animals.A beloved bird is the robin (知更鸟), which has a bright red breast. At Christmas timein winter, the bird is monly found on the greetings cards people send each other.There is also quite a rare animal called the red squirrel. Foxes are red, and they used to be hunted by men in red outfits (服装).But is red considered lucky to British people? A good way t o s e e h o w a c u l t u r e l o o k s a t a c o l o r i s t o l o o k a t t h e w a y i t u s e s i t i n language. The results may surprise you. Even though Britain has a lot of red on its high streets and in its countryside, red is used quite differently as a metaphor (比喻). If someone “sees red”, they are angry. When a person is “red faced”, they are out of breath or blushing (脸红). Red is also a political color:it means a leftwinger (blue is the color of the political right). To be “in the red” is to be in debt (someone in credit (存款) is “in the black”).Look hard enough and you’ll find the color red being used in all countries. For instance the “red heart” symbol is pretty universal. But whether the British realize it or not, red is everywhere in Britain. It does seem that the country is in love with the color.28. The article is mainly about ______.A. the metaphor of red in the English languageB. the preference for red animals in BritainC. the history of red items in BritainD. the color red in British culture29. Someone saying bad words about you behind your back might make you ______.A. redfacedB. see redC. in the redD. in the black30. It can be inferred from the article that ______.A. red has different meanings depending on the context (情境)B. the color red is not as popular as it was before in BritainC. most British people are aware of how popular the color red is in British cultureD. British people are often asked to explain the meaning of the color red31. The main purpose of the article is to ______.A. pareB. judgeC. informD. argueDI almost failed out of college and it nearly broke my selfconfidence. I had been at the top of my high school class, the total golden child. So when I decided that I wanted to attend Columbia University for graduate school(研究生院), I was sure it would be close to impossible. My goals were to prove to myself that my years of academic success in secondary school had not happened b y c h a n c e a n d p r e p a r e f o r a c a r e e r i n c h i l d r e n’s m e d i a.B u t f i r s t I had to get in.So I enrolled (报名) in a GRE test prep course and threw myself into the class. The first part was pretty scary and by the third, I knew it wasn’t going to get any easier. I rec onsidered my plan to take the GRE.For the first time in my life, I considered how I should go about getting into graduate school.What were my special skills? Would any of them get me into graduate school?I got a job working on a project sponsored by the dean’s (系主任的) office on campus and enrolled in a class. I had a new plan: Be a top student in the class while working on campus, get letters of remendation from my boss and professor, then hope that playing to my strengths l ike writing interesting papers would be enough for my application.I worked my butt off (很努力工作) that semester. With finals approaching, I felt confident I would get an “A” in the course, so it was time for step two. I asked my boss to write a letter of remendation. She immediately agreed. But my professor said no. She did not know me we l l e n o u g h a n d th e s e me s te r wa s n o t p le te d.H o we ve r,I d e c i d e d I ju s t would not take no for an answer. I asked if she would least write a short note unofficially supporting my application. After some unfortable conversations, she finally agreed. In the end, I g ot in!I revisit that moment of persistence (执着) again and again. I have leapt into many other opportunities since then. Now I am starting a pany born out of my graduate school research in children’s media. Our first product is a mobile game for teen girls that breaksdown major life milestones into missions (任务). On this surface，the product helps girls connect with each other. But it also helps them develop the tools to live life without limits.32. The writer stopped taking the GRE prep course because ______.A. the beginning of the GRE course was really frighteningB. she realized by the third part of her GRE class that her plan wouldn’t workC. Columbia University would not accept the GRE testD. she didn’t put all her efforts into the GRE course at first33. The underlined words “playing to my strengths” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “______”.A. developing my physical powerB. making use of what I am good atC. doing something to the best of my abilityD. doing something with all the strength I have34. One of the reasons why the professor refused to write a letter of remendation was that ____.A. the author had almost failed out of collegeB. the author was not a top student in high schoolC. the author was not her favorite student in the classD. the professor did not know enough about the author35. The writer succeeded in getting into the graduate school because of ______.A. her “A” gradeB. her strong letters of remendationC. her strong determination and her good plan to make herself stand outD. her interest in children’s media and outstanding skills in writing interesting papers第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的选项。

（每题2分，共20分）AIf you find yourself checking your phone first thing in the morning, if you find you’re text-messaging while walking, checking your phone instead of working on an important assignment-you are addicted.Don’t worry. The new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smart phone, but it does nothing. It’s just piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.NoPhone is currently prototype(手机模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover the production and marketing costs.Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he had the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhone of their own, so that’s when the three friends decided to raise money for mass production.David H said, “I used to sleep with my phone in my hand, but my night terrors would cause me to throw it across the room in an unconscious panic.

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. 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 Museo Nacional Rcina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. Florida.4. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. Productive.C. Generous.D. Traditional.5. What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworksB. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the best TV programmes.6. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Artworks.B. Projects.C. Donations.D. Documents.CWe all need to eat, and when we go to buy food at the supermarket, we’re offered many choices. But we often buy food that’s been produced in huge amounts and that’s travelled many miles before it ends up on our plate. So for some growing their own food is a better choice--and it tastes good too!From growing vegetables in little pots on your balcony (阳台) to taking care of a small piece of land, there are many ways to produce home-grown food. It can be backbreaking work-digging, weeding and watering the soil, but the result is fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables, helping us keep a “five-a-day” diet.The recent Covid-19 pandemic lockdown means demand for homegrown food has seen a comeback in the UK. Miriam Dobson from the University of Sheffield, told the BBC that some people have been spending lot of their time on their plots(小块菜地), growing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables-which, at times, have been challenging to buy in supermarkets. She says “Coronavirus has reminded people of the weakness within our global food system. In such a difficult time, interest in self-support rises.”But for those with little space, solution to grow your own vegetables lies closer to home-using pots. Sheila Brand lives in a third-floor flat in Rotterdam. She has managed to grow tomatoes and eggplants and is already harvesting raspberries. She told the BBC watching the plants grow “is very exciting: ‘Oh it’s got a new leaf’”As well as the benefits of saving money and enjoying tasty food, growing our own from a balcony or window ledge not only improves our wellbeing and immediate environment, we can actually grow a lot of vegetables. So, maybe it’s time for us all to get planting and develop our green fingers!7. A “five-a-day” diet (para.2) probably refers to a diet that includes_________ every day.A. five mealsB. enough fruits and vegetablesC. five kinds of riceD. plenty of water8. According to paragraph 3, home-grown food is getting popular again in the UK recently because_________.A. more interesting, cheap and deliciousB. our global food system is doing harm to usC. it saves the time and money on transportationD. it can be hard to buy fresh food during the pandemic9. According to the writer, where can you grow your own food if you live in a small flat?A. In a potB. On a plateC. In a garden.D. On the roof.10. What does the writer imply the last sentence?A. Growing your own food can do good to your health.B. Growing your own food can make your fingers green.C. Growing your own food can improve your gardening skills.D. Growing your own food can bring your family more happiness.第二节、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项未多余选项（每题2分，共10分）How similar are language and music?Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. __11__. Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing system.In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters.

Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allow us to share in that emotion.

黑龙江省哈尔滨师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高一下学期4月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Do you want a part-time job to earn some extra money?

Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge.Grandpa Amu’s most popular video, which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge, has gone viral on YouTube, gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.His most popular works include a folding stool, a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle, known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. Attracting over 1.17 million fans on YouTube, Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.His wonderful woodworking skills, using the same mortise and tenon joints found in theForbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy, as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen; while another said “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!”4．Why is Grandpa Amu regarded as the modern day Lu Ban?A．For his simple words.B．For his popular videos.C．For his carpentry skills.D．For his excellent arch bridge.5．What do Grandpa Amu’s remarks mean in Paragraph 2?A．Theory is from pracitce.B．Success depends on love.C．Excellent skills lie in hard work.D．Happiness comes from interest. 6．What is the unique feature of Grandpa Amu’s craft works?A．No nails or glue.B．Delicate design.C．The apple shape.D．The wooden material.7．What message does this text mainly convey?A．Being popular means more fans.B．Perfect skills earn more money.C．Supporting family needs more skills.D．Traditional crafts deserve passing on.“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit “My Way”. The song’s idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what’s done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, “no regrets” suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror.Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?” 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21% said they feel regret “all the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret.If you are of the “no regrets” type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. True, being overwhelmed(不知所措) by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知的)achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has worsened, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of languishing.But regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future.8．What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra?A．Attract more people to your argument.B．Send him/her a letter of apology.C．Boast about being more reasonable.D．Forget about it and just let it go.9．Which of the following statements about “regret” may the writer agree with?A．We can do nothing about regret.B．Unhappiness results from regret.C．Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve.D．Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow.10．What does the underlined word “languishing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A．Improving.B．Maintaining.C．Showing up.D．Breaking up.11．What might be a suitable title for the text?A．Regret to become smarter—if you let it.B．Long for a different past? Regret it!C．Regret? Not my way!D．Stay away! Regret will heal itself.Should humans explore space? If you ask me, I’ll definitely give a positive answer.The space exploration has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world,connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System(GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can forecast harmful weather conditions, which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives.Space programs can also indirectly lead to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large plots of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures, such as the condition of crops, soil, rainfall, and droughts. It can then transmit this information to ground stations on the earth for better use.In recent years, space-based technologies have become an important factor to reach and expand global health objectives. Information provided by remote technologies can be applied to study the epidemiology. This data provided by space technologies can monitor disease patterns, understand the environmental causes that spread it, make predictions about where it can spread in the future, and make plans to fight it efficiently.Furthermore, space exploration is something we can do for future generations. Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be an existential threat for all mankind. With the advancement of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids or other planets.For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences.12．What can space exploration do according to Paragraph 2?A．Improve the traffic on the earth.B．Help humans communicate and spread information.C．Help prevent deadly natural disasters.D．Promote travel between countries. 13．How can space programs help solve poverty and world hunger?A．By benefiting crop production with artificial earth satellites.B．By transporting food worldwide more easily.C．By creating job opportunities for the poor.D．By protecting available land resources.14．What does the writer think of mining resources on other planets?A．Time-wasting.B．Arguable.C．Unnecessary.D．Rewarding.15．What is the text?A．An advertisement.B．An argumentative essay.C．A speech.D．A news report.二、七选五According to a study done by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad compared to those that only looked around for items.More than half of the 1,000 respondents said they have impulsively shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression. 16 In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. Shopping to relieve stress is also called retail therapy as a form of regulating stress. 17 For many, what starts out as a relatively harmless mood booster could possibly grow into a forced reaction that empties wallets and causes conflict, thus adding a significant amount of stress to a person’s life.In order not to be overwhelmed by retail therapy, you might refer to the following tips.. 18Whether you’re purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries, having the items you need written down will provide you with clarity and order while you’re shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you’ll be more likely to commit to it: buy a cup of coffee while shopping or plan a. fun activity for when you return home.·Think about what you struggle with most financially.Do you spend too much money at the mall? Eating out? Vacations? 19 For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on the weekends, stock your cupboard with groceries on Friday so you’ll be more likely to stay in and cook.·Give up the need to keep up with your neighbors, co-workers, and friends.Everyone’s financial situation is different and it’s dependent upon a variety of factors, least of all being one’s self worth. 20 Appreciate what you currently have by practicing gratitude.A．Prepare a list prior to shopping.B．This may encourage consumerism and impulse buying.C．However, the side effect of retail therapy cannot be overlooked.D．More men tended to purchase alcohol when stressed than women.E．23％said they’ve maxed out (刷爆) a credit card in the past year．F．Comparison leads to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.G．Track down where your money is going and then try to avoid temptations.三、完形填空Since young, Aisha Ismail has said she let labels (标签) define what she could be. “I wasto 22 in this predetermined box.”After a high school chemistry class 23 her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Aisha learned to live outside 24 and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and 25 in San Diego’s City Heights neighbourhood, Aisha is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. 26 some might say Aisha’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be a(n) 27 , promising undergraduate that she is today.When Aisha was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to 28 the whole family.

That was why she was selected.”When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Aisha warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that the scholarship is too 34 or thisprogramme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the admission letters 35 in.”21．A．as if B．even if C．as soon as D．as long as 22．A．cycle B．explore C．sleep D．establish 23．A．warned B．ordered C．inspired D．asked 24．A．subjects B．life C．jobs D．labels 25．A．raised B．worked C．observed D．recovered 26．A．Because B．While C．Once D．Whether 27．A．affected B．famous C．enthusiastic D．fearful 28．A．abandon B．blame C．move D．support 29．A．fortune B．difference C．shadow D．shelter 30．A．richest B．favorite C．perfect D．luckiest 31．A．made sense B．died down C．came to nothing D．paid off 32．A．admitted B．devoted C．close D．equal 33．A．by comparison with B．in addition to C．instead ofD．regardless of34．A．easy B．small C．far D．unnecessary 35．A．joining B．flooding C．handing D．breaking四、单项选择36．【2011江苏卷,34】——I left my handbag on the train, but luckily someone gave it to a railway official.——How unbelievable to get it back!

She died Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 96.Lansbury got the first acting experience as a teenager and the appearing onstage was intoxicating, she recalled, “I suddenly got the feel of being able to make an effect by the way I played the role, the first time I did it.”In the 1980s, Lansbury moved back to Hollywood to star in the mystery television series Murder, She Wrote and made Lansbury a household name -as a senior citizen. She told that she was “happily trapped” in the role of Jessica Fletcher, the mystery novelist who solved a murder every week.“Being Jessica was second nature to me because she has all of the qualities that I like about women,” Lansbury said. “She was brave and athletic and exciting and all kinds of good stuff that women are.”Lansbury’s acting career extended over an extraordinary seven decades. She won five Tony Awards as well as a lifetime achievement award, six Golden Globes and was a Kennedy Center Honoree for lifetime achievement in 2000.During an interview in 1998, Lansbury was asked how she would like to be remembered. “Just for being there,” she first joked in response, before continuing, “I would like to be remembered as someone who entertained, who took one out of oneself for a few minutes, and who gave you relief, laughter, tears, all those things.

A new studyhas found that they are leaving their natural environment to escape noisy ship refueling (补给燃料) activities.The African penguins once mainly raised babies on this island. But the population has dropped sharply since South Africa started permitting ships in the area to refuel at sea six years ago, the study found.Lorien Pichegru is acting director of the Coastal and Marine Research Institute at Nelson Mandela University, which led the study. She said the organization had found that noise levels in the area had doubled since the refueling activities began. Scientists say high noise levels affect the ability of penguins to find and catch other animals for food. Noise also makes it more difficult for them to communicate with each other and map travel paths. “This year we are at 1,200 breeding pairs at St Croix from 8,500 pairs in 2016,” Pichegru said.The study recently appeared in the publication Science of the Total Environment. The researchers said the study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on a seabird.Nelson Mandela University’s study collected some data to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. Oil-covered penguins were found in 2019 in Algoa Bay after an oil spill from ship-to-ship refueling. Environmental groups have called for the activities to be banned in the bay.Pichegru said penguins in the area were already struggling to survive because of a series of issues, including industrial fishing activities. She added that the refueling activities did not kill all the penguins. However, “It was just the thing that made the whole ecology tip over and then the penguins couldn’t cope with that,” she said.28. What has the new study found about penguins?A.

And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo，a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the wellbeing of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural(农村的)areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes of local people, Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it can develop local development.Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.32. What can we know about red tourism?A. It has brought life to tourism.B. It is not popular with the young.C. It is a traditional form of tourism.D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery.33. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2?A. To describe a scene.B. To prove his idea.C. To illustrate the story.D. To introduce a platform.34. What is the benefit of red tourism for rural areas?A. It can help improve farming facilities.B. Local people can make more money.C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors.D. Local people can receive much help from society.35. What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs?A. More and more people will choose red tourism.B. Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism.C. Some measures should be taken to solve problems.D. More red tourism sites should be open to the public.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Bronx mom and writer has always dreamed of opening her own bookstore, so after watching another close its doors for good, she saw her chance.While Latanya said every neighborhood deserved a bookstore, opening physical stores on every block simply wasn’t possible. So she decided to bring the books to her neighbors, instead, by turning a bus into a bookmobile! With the help of her community, she raised money for her dream and, at the end of 2021, it came true! Bronx Bound Books rolled out in style as a bus with orange cube bookshelves. “People love the way it smells,” Latanya added. “One woman said the wood smell makes her feel like she’s at home.”Although the bookstore on wheels carries around 30,000 new and used books, it has more room than you might expect! Latanya also makes sure to prepare books with a variety of characters, so all readers can see themselves in the pages. Of course, her collection also features works of noted Black authors like James Baldwin and Alice Walker. “It’s meant to be that way,” she explained, “because I remember going to bookstores and having to look through books just to find someone that I felt I could identify with.”Setting up her bookstore in a new spot each day, Latanya is doing her part to make sure that everyone in the Bronx has books to read. That’s what B ronx Bound Books is open for. “I can’t open up a bookstore on every corner, but I can probably pop up on a lot of different corners,” she said.Thanks to Latanya and Bronx Bound Books, the Bronx is becoming a heaven for book lovers day by day. I’m sure tha t the-little bookstore will continue to develop quickly!；4．How did Latanga DeVoughn respond to the shutdown of bookstores?A．She took over and-reopened them soon.

B．Affordable. C．Convenient. D．Promising.Western conservation groups are seeking stricter laws to deal with trade in endangered wildlife, but Dr. Paul Jepson warns that this isn’t the best solution. He specially mentions the case of the Bali starling (八哥). Bringing in tougher laws created unexpec ted outcomes, which contributed to the bird’s extinction in the wild in 2006.He said that the traditional law enforcement (执行) approach that prohibited ownership of the Bali starling in the 1980s and 1990s increased rather than reduced the demand for wild-caught Bali starlings. The bird has become a popular gift among the rich of Indonesia, who can gain more status by owning one.Instead, a case-by-case analysis might be needed. Last year, he said, a bird association set up a network of breeders (饲养者) among the owners of Bali starling on the island of Java. By introducing a “crowd-breeding” model, it transformed the bird into a species whose price and source of supply were publicly known. This lessened the status of keeping such birds and thereby reduced their profitability to black market suppliers.Another case was on Nusa Penida, an island southeast of Bali. A Balinese conservation group planned to release starlings on the island. Some tried to block the plan, saying the island was outside the birds’ nati ve zone. Eventually, the Governor of Bali came up with a plan. The starlings were given to a local temple as a ceremonial offering before they were released. This gave the Bali starling status as a “sacred bird”, giving them protection under customary laws. Now the released starlings established a breeding population on Nusa Penida.Dr. Jepson commented, “I do not want to condemn the international approach seeking tighter law enforcement, but this case study shows we should not oversimplify how we respond to the problem of the wildlife trade. There is a growing body of evidence that shows more different approaches are sometimes needed to fit with the local social and political realities. We should tailor solutions on more of a case-by-case basis.”；8．What mi ght have sped up the wild Bali starling’s extinction in 2006?A．The bad natural environment.B．The side effect of strict protection laws.C．The debate over the wildlife trade.D．The popularity of the bird in the world.；9．Why was the “crowd-breeding” model introduced?A．To make the Bali starling less profitable.B．To cut off the supply to the black market.C．To increase the demand for the Bali starling.D．To block the strict laws passed by the government.；10．What can we learn from the case on Nusa Penida?A．The starlings were protected as a result of stricter laws.B．It is unwise to release starlings outside their native zone.C．The starlings were endangered due to their reduced status.D．Attaching spiritual value to the starlings helps protect them.；11．Which of the following will Dr. Jepson probably agree with?A．Stricter enforcement is needed to protect biodiversity.B．Those who seek tighter law enforcement should be blamed.C．There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to the wildlife trade problem.D．The problem of wildlife trade should be treated with determination.James Joyce called Dublin the “center of paralysis (瘫痪),” and complained in a letter: “How sick I am of Dublin! It is the city of failure and unhappiness. I long to be out of it.” He spent the last 30 years of his life settling for periods in Trieste, Rome, Zurich, Paris-anywhere but Dublin.It is a noticeable irony that his masterpiece Ulysses is not only set in Dublin, but never allows us to forget it. The novel tells the story of the hour-by-hour events of one day in Dublin—June 16, 1904, as an ordinary Dubliner, Leopold Bloom, makes his way through the urban landscape, the journey of a modern-day Ulysses, Streets, shops, pubs, churches, bridges—something of Dublin pops up on nearly every page. The city is always there no matter how difficult to understand Joyce’s prose (散文) becomes.Bloomsday—June 16—is an annual celebration among Joyce fans throughout the world, from Fort Lauderdale to Melbourne. It is celebrated in at least 60 countries worldwide, but nowhere so imaginatively, of course, as in Dublin. There the events of Leopold Bloom’s day are acted out all across Dublin by anyone who cares to participate.At lunchtime, it’s traditional to stop off for a glass of wine and a Gorgonzola sandwi ch at Davy Byme’s Pub on Duke Street, just as Bloom did. In the afternoon, the Ormond Hotel, where Bloom had feelings for the barmaids in the Sirens chapter, is the spot for an afternoon drink.The years since 1904 have made following Bloom’s exact route i mpossible—Bloom’s home at 7 Eccles Street no longer exists and the red-light district, in which the unreal Circe chapter takes place, has been leveled; only the street pattern remains.Bloomsday celebrations also feature readings of Ulysses, James Joyce lookalike contests, various other semi-literary activities, and a good excuse for drinking a few Guinnesses. In the eyes of many, it’s easier and a lot more fun than trying to work your way through the novel.12．What does the underlined word “irony” in Parag raph 2 refer to?A．Joyce hated Dublin but showed his love for it in Ulysses.B．Joyce complained about Dublin but still spent time there.C．Joyce disliked Dublin but his novel set in it was impressive.D．Joyce’s prose was hard to understand despite being su ccessful.13．The novel Ulysses is mentioned to .A．prove the greatness of Joyce’s literary works.B．clarify the misunderstanding about Joyce.C．show Joyce’s hidden love for Dublin.D．introduce the origin of Bloomsday.14．According to the article, Bloomsday .A．started on June 16, 1904 in Dublin.B．is a day to celebrate James Joyce and Ulysses.C．is celebrated worldwide every other year.D．is a holiday for people to fully explore Dublin.15．Which of the following is a typical Bloomsday celebration?A．Taking part in Ulysses reading contests.B．Trying to set a Guinness record in drinking.C．Following Blooms’s route to visit the red-light district.D．Experiencing certain scenes described in Ulysses二、七选五（本大题共1小题）One morning I looked out of my study window and saw it was a fine day: not even a single cloud. But later on, hard at work at my desk, I heard a loud drumming noise. Turning to the window, I saw the sky was now the color of charcoal (木炭). Rain began to fall; two minutes later the rain became hail (冰雹); at some point, the hail became snow.16 It’s extremely variable. Go ahead with your picnic in the local park by all means, but don’t as sume that because the sun is shining now, it will be when you open your pack of sandwiches. 17The weather in Britain is by no means always bad. It can just seem a lot like a person who has a lot of mood swings.This is one of the biggest reasons why the British talk so often about the weather: it’s handy. Wherever there are strangers standing or sitting close together, and talk cannot be avoided, the conversation focuses on the weather: “ 18 ” or “What shocking weather we’ve been having!” The unreliability of the weather is something that every Brit can agree on. 19Thus, the weather’s unpredictability is actually a plus for the British. Even those with different opinions on everything else in the world, such as the current argument in the UK about membership of the European Union, can talk about the weather without it leading to a shouting match. 20A．Long live rainstorms in mid-July!B．The English often talks about weather.C．D．E．F．G．).

Since Kelsea Ballerini appeared on the Nashville scene in 2015, she’s been known for her cheerful songs and energetic personality. “I’ve always presented myself as a very happy-go-lucky person,” she says “but there’s more.” Indeed, in her new poetry book Feel Your Way Through, the “Half of My Hometown” singer, 28 shows how she found strength after a difficult youth.In her teen years Ballerini struggled with bulimia. “My Parents h ad just gotten divorced, and I think for me it was a source of control.” she says of her eating disorder. After passing out several times, she finally sought help at 18. “It’s a journey, and it’s never-ending.” Life in the spotlight can sometimes worsen her body-image issues, but she’s learned how to deal with them. Today she’s in a much healthier spot, and she is much more gentle with how she talks to herself.Ballerini faced perhaps her biggest emotional challenge during her second year in high school, when she watched a friend die in a school shooting in her native Knoxville, Tenn. “There’s a moment in everyone’s life when something happens and you go, Life is short’, and that was mine,” Ballerini says, adding that she still suffers PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) from th e terrible event. “Fortunately, everyone close to me knows about it, and they help me.”One of Ballerini’s biggest supporters is her husband, fellow singer Morgan Evans, 36.

Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged and orphaned but also friends relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and shut-ins (卧病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and ignored, formed the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through handing out small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged (弱势群体) was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious belief or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many peopleremembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A．More and more people are now celebrating Sweetest Day in the whole country.B．Sweetest Day is a holiday which always falls on the second Saturday in October.C．Sweetest Day is much more important in big cities than in small cities.D．Only a few religions have the tradition to celebrate the holiday.2. The idea of creating Sweetest Day came from ______.A．the city’s orphans and shut-ins B．a city named Cleveland 60 years ago C．a man who cared orphans and shut-ins D．a man’s friends relatives and associates 3. Sweetest Day is celebrated in the following ways EXCEPT ______.A．a kind act B．a family party C．gift-giving D．a smallremembrance4. From the third paragraph we can learn that ______.A．it is the people in Cleveland who spread Sweetest Day to other citiesB．only with the help of the man’s friends and neighbor she got a small remembranceC．over 60 years ago, a man too often felt forgotten and neglectedD．all people loved to be remembered by others on Sweetest Day in Cleveland5. The best title for the passage is ______.A．A Cleveland Man B．The Biggest Sweetest DayC．The Opportunity to Show D．Sweetest Day4. Christmas Activities for Adults1 .

According to the modern legend, he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before Christmas Day, leaving presents, which they find the next morning. He flies through the night sky in a sledge pulled by reindeer, and enters houses by climbing down chimneys. This strange legend is based on the life of a man called Nicholas, but in fact we know very little about him. Historians think he was a Christian bishop（主教）in Turkey in about 285-350 A.D. One of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls. No one would marry them because they were so poor.To provide them with money for their weddings, Nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimney of their house. After Nicholas died, he was made a saint（圣人）by the church. His feast day was celebrated in December, and parents started giving their children secret presents from St Nicholas. Over the years, this custom became part of our Christmas traditions.Recently, a psychologist has claimed that Father Christmas is “the perfect fantasy” for children. According to Professor Anthony Clare, children love the character of Father Christmas because he is like an ideal father: he loves children and gives them presents, but he never criticizes them, is never angry and children do not even need to thank him for presents. Other writers, however, point out that Father Christmas can be a frightening character tosome children. Jane Bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat, bearded old man. It can certainly confuse many children. As presents, we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never to let them into the house, and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night! Some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar.Most children, however, understand from their parents and from the media that Father Christmas is basically a benign character, and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement.（1）The writer mentions details such as Father Christmas’s sledge, the reindeer and the way he climbs down chimney because he/ she ________.A . wants to make it clear that these things are impossibleB . is describing the history of St NicholasC . wants everyone to believe that Father Christmas is realD . is explaining the modern legend of Father Christmas（2）Why does the writer mention the story about St Nicholas helping three poor girls?A . It shows us that historians know very little about him.B . This story explains why parents give secret presents to children.C . It supports the writer’s main point tha t Father Christmas is based on an untrue story.D . This story explains why we celebrate Christmas in December.（3）In the last paragraph, the word “benign” means ________.A . religiousB . friendlyC . frighteningD . unreal（4）The best title for this passage would be ________.A . Is Father Christmas Dangerous?B . The True History of St NicholasC . The Legend of Santa ClausD . The Traditions of Christmas4. 阅读理解As a Chinese saying goes, “Taste is actually a memory of childhood”. Local specialty food may not be popular among all people, but it offers outsiders a glimpse of local culture and history.Gongcheng “oil tea” is such a kind of food that would be considered “weird” by many first-time visitors to the remote county in the north of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many people dislike its bitter and astringent（涩的）flavor when they take a sip.“It felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine. I never expected that I would gradually accept it afterwards, and even become addicted to it,” said a traveler surn amed Zhang who comes from Shijiazhuang in northern China’s Hebei province.Langshan village is said to be birthplace of Gongcheng “oil tea” whose ideal ingredients are green tea and fermented（发酵）tea. The village has preserved well its buildings and roads dating back to late Qing Dynasty , as well as its traditional way of making the special tea.Lin Fengyou, 60, introduced the cooking process. She looks younger than her age, and attributes this to the benefits of drinking “oil tea” throughout the year.The first procedure is to use a wooden hammer to pound the tea while heating it in an iron pot, and then add edible（可食用的）oil and boiled waterafterwards. She filters off the solid residues（余渣）, and pours the glue-like green tea soup into bowls. Then, she adds salt, caraway seed（葛缕子籽）, green onion, dried rice, fried groundnuts, sliced taro（芋头）and fried beans.The taste of the “oil tea” is a mixture of the distinctive（特有的）flavors of all its ingredients. Local people usually eat it together with glutinous rice（糯米）balls, rice dumplings and glutinous rice cake.The villagers consume “oil tea” three times a day. The tea soup is a healthy and refreshing food. “The tea soup to us is coffee to Westerners”, said Lin. “But it is tastier.”（1）Many first-time visitors may find “oil tea” ________ when taking a sip.A . popularB . beneficialC . addictedD . strange（2）What can we learn about Lin Fengyou according to the passage?A . She thinks drinking “oil tea” throughout the year makes her look younger.B . She is one of the reasons why the special tea has been preserved.C . She never expected that she would gradually accep t “oil tea”.D . She drinks “oil tea” three times every day and considers coffee tastier.（3）Which is the correct order of cooking “oil tea” according to Lin Fengyou?a. pour the glue-like green tea soup into bowlsb. heat the tea in an iron pot and pound the teac. add salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, etcd. add edible oil and boiled watere. filter off the solid residuesA . acebdB . dbaceC . bdeacD . beadc（4）Which column is this passage probably taken from?A .

It is also, in its most popular and powerful form, a story telling medium that shares many elements with the short story and the novel. And since film presents its stories in dramatic form, it has even more in common with the stage play: Both plays and movies act out or dramatize（使戏剧化）, show rather than tell, what happens.Unlike the novel, short story, or play, however, film is not handy（日语做的）to study; it cannot be effectively frozen on the printed page. The novel and short story are relatively easy to study because they are written to be read. The stage play is slightly more difficult to study because it is written to be performed. But plays are printed, and because they rely heavily on the spoken word, imaginative readers can bring mind at least a pale imitation of the experience they might have been watching a performance on stage. This cannot be said of the screenplay（电影剧本）, for a film depends greatly on visual （视觉的）and other non-visual elements that are not easily expressed in writing. The screenplay requires so much “filling in” by our imagination that we cannot really obtain the experience of a film by reading a screenplay, and reading a screenplay is worthwhile only if we have already seen the film. Thus, most screenplays are published not to read but rather to be remembered.Still, film should not be ignored because studying it requires extra effort. And the fact that we do not general ly “read” films does not mean we should ignore the principles of literary of dramatic analysis when see a film. Literature and films do share many elements and communicate many things in similar ways. Perceptive（精辟的）film analysis rests on the principles used in literary analysis, and if we apply what we have learned in the study of literature to our analysis of films, we will be far ahead of those who do not. Therefore, before we turn to the unique elements of film, we need to look into the elements that film shares with any good story.Dividing film into its various elements for analysis is a somewhat artificial process, for the elements of any art form never exist in isolation. It is impossible, for example, to isolate plot（情节）from character. Events influence people, and people influence events; the two are always closely interwoven in any fictional（虚构的）, dramatic, or cinematic（电影的）work. Nevertheless, the analytical method uses such a fragmenting（碎片）technique for convenience. It does so with the assumption（假设）that we can study these elements in isolation without losing sight of their interdependence or their relationship to the whole.（1）In the writer’s opinion, the reason why it is not handy to study film lies in ________.A . screenplay is not as well written as literary worksB . publishers prefer to publish literary worksC . a film is too complicatedD . a film cannot be effectively represented by a printed screenplay（2）From the 3rd paragraph we learn that ________.A . the means by which we analyze a literary work cannot be applied to analysis of the filmB . we should not pay extra effort to study filmsC . a good film and a good story have many elements in commonD . using the principles of literary analysis makes no difference in film analysis（3）The unde rlined word “It” in the last sentence of the passage refers to ________.A . Film.B . The fragmenting technique.C . The analytical method.D . Convenience（4）What is mainly discussed in the passage?A . The unique charm of film.B . The importance of film analysis.C . The relationship between film analysis and literary analysis.D . How to identify the techniques a film uses.三、任务型阅读6. 任务型阅读Parents Model Healthy EatingIt should come as no surprise that the more stressed parents are at work, the greater the burden on their family is________After all, the more time parents spend working, the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals.For years, most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored. They didn’t look at the family as a whole________adds a new wrinkle（褶皱）to the relationship between work stressand family nutrition.Mom’s work related stress is still a central factor in low well families eat because they typically do most of the food shopping and cooking________The study found that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress, their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week, and the parents themselves report eating fewer fruits and vegetables, more fast food, and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.It’s worth nothing that the study looked mainly at low income families who belonged to ethnic（民族的）or minority groups________But the implications are wide ranging.________Teaching kids, especially teenagers, to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals, instead of just putting a frozen pizza in the microwave, could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping families improves their eating habits.A. And the role of fathers in particularB. But dad’s work related stress has a large impact, too.C. Yet, the kids’ stress may influence the families’ nutrition, too.D. So the findings don’t necessarily apply directly to other types of families.E. When it comes to family nutrition, the entire family plays a role even kids.F. It’s also probably not a surprise that this can negatively affect a family’s nutrition.G.
