In recent years, technology companies have worked hard to speed up the use of driverless robotaxis and Baidu is one of the pioneers.②In June 2019, Baidu started to test its driverless taxis in certain areas in Changsha. In 2020, its Apollo Go robotaxis, also known as "Luobo Kuaipao" in Chinese, officially began its service in certain areas in Changsha, Cangzhou and Beijing. In March 2022, Beijing allowed Baidu to test fully driverless robotaxis on certain roads, which meant a further step forward. In June 2023, Baidu carried out its driverless taxi service in Shenzhen across an area of 188 km2 from 7 am to 10 pm daily.③Booking a ride on Apollo Go is as simple as a few taps on your phone screen. Passengers just need to tell the app Apollo Go or Baidu Map where they are and where to go. Then, a car will appear. With sensors (传感器) and cameras all over the car, a computer takes full control of the drive. A screen on the back seat shows customers the information of the ride and how the robotaxi "looks" at the space around to see other cars, humans, and anything else that might get in its way.④"The robotaxi goes at about the same speed, providing a good riding experience," a user posted online. By September 2023, the number of orders has reached four million. The user satisfaction rating for the Apollo Go app has reached 4.9 out of 5 and 97.12% of the reviews are five-star ratings. So far, Apollo Go robotaxi service has covered 11 cities and by 2025, it plans to test its robotaxis in other 65 cities.⑤However, safety is the key in the development of driverless robotaxis. In the future, Apollo Go and the other companies should take more time to improve the system in order to provide comfortable and safe rides. 4．What did Baidu work on according to the passage?A．Driverless taxis.B．Robotaxi sensors.C．Safety apps.D．Robotaxi Maps.5．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．The risk of Apollo Go.B．The future of Apollo Go.C．The advantages of Apollo Go.D．The development of Apollo Go.6．How dose the writer show the popularity of Apollo Go in Paragraph 4?A．By telling a story.B．By doing experiments.C．By listing numbers.D．By giving examples.7．What can we learn about Apollo Go robotaxis from the passage?A．The robotaxi has caused a lot of traffic problems since it was put into use.B．People in Shenzhen could take a ride even at midnight in June 2023.C．Baidu will test Apollo Go robotaxi service all over the country by 2025.D．Passengers sitting on the back seats can know about their rides from a screen.阅读理解A particular picture especially touched me while reading news article about a tornado (龙卷风) just happened in a village around Florida. In the picture, a young woman with a worried face stood in front of an entirely destroyed mobile home. A small girl, three or four years old, stood at her side, clutching (攥紧) at her skirt and stared into the camera with a pair of eyes full of fear. At the end of the article, a telephone number was offered.This would be a good chance to teach my kid to help those in need. I showed the picture to my six-year-old daughter, Meghan, explaining what happened in the picture. "We have so much. But these poor people now have nothing," I said. "Let's share what we have with them."I brought a large box and placed it on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously as I filled the boxes with old clothes that we don't want any more. Then she left and soon came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She stopped in front of the box for a moment, gave the doll a final kiss, then put it gently on top of the clothes."Oh, Honey," I said. "You don't have to give away Lucy. You love her so much." Meghan nodded seriously, with held-back tears." ▲ ." Megan said.I stared at Meghan for a long moment and didn't know what to say. I suddenly realized that it's easy to give away things that we don't want, but harder to let go off things we value, isn't it? True generosity (慷慨) is a three-year-old girl offering her favorite dol to a little girl she doesn't know because she hopes it will bring this child as much pleasure as it brought her. The true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.I, who had wanted to teach, had been taught.8．What is the right order of the following events?a. My daughter gave away her doll.b. A tornado happened around Florida.c. I saw a picture on the newspaper.d. I filled the box with old clothes.e. I learned a lesson from my daughter.A．bcade B．cbade C．cbdae D．bcdae9．Which of the following can be put into the blank ____▲____?A．Lucy is my favorite doll. I don't want to give it to that girl.B．Lucy makes me happy. It can make that girl happy, too.C．I used to like Lucy, but I don't like it now because it's old.D．I have to give Lucy to her, because I have nothing else to give her.10．How does the mother probably feel about her daughter in the end?A．Worried.B．Excited.C．Sorry.D．Proud.11．What's the best title for the passage?A．A Kind Girl B．A Special DollC．A Valuable Lesson D．A Thankful Mother阅读理解①Most people know about endangered plants and animals. However, not everyone knows that many languages are in danger, too. Recently, there are almost 500 languages that are officially endangered. According to a study, 95% of the world's population only speak 6% of the existing 7,000 languages. This means that only 6% speak all the other languages. Some languages have fewer than a dozen speakers. There are several reasons why languages die out.②A key reason is the influence of the dominant (主导的) languages. Generally, these languages are connected with social background and education. People who move to cities are forced to learn them. In most cases, the children do not learn their native language. In addition, many communities far away from towns and cities give up their languages in order to become an accepted part of the main culture. For example, India has lost 220 of 780 languages in the last 50 years. Once Hindi was regarded as the official language of India, the number of Hindi speakers increased from 260 million to over 420 million.③Another reason is that the people who speak an endangered language may be in physical danger, such as from war or mas killing. Many languages of the native people in the Americas are either lost or endangered for this very reason. Natural disasters and disease can also wipe out all populations. When the village of Papua New Guinea was hit by an earthquake, all the people in it died. The language they spoke, Malol, also disappeared with them.④Languages are part of cultures and show differences. Losing a language means losing a way to pass on culture. The whole world suffers because of the disappearance of cultural and language diversity (多样性). Therefore, efforts need to be made to protect endangered languages before they disappear forever.12．Why does the writer use numbers in Paragraph 1?A．To show that many languages are in great danger.B．To support that there are many languages in the world.C．To prove that languages have changed in different places.D．To introduce how many languages are spoken in the world.13．What does the underlined phrase "wipe out" probably mean?A．Kill.B．Change.C．Hurt.D．Beat.14．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．15．What's your advice on protecting endangered languages?

The study found that a person’s happiness depends on th e happiness of people he connects with. Surprisingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to have the greatest influence among friends of the same sex (性别).“People with more good friends are less likely to develop depression (情绪低落) and worry,” says Dr. Toupey Luft. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive (正面的,积极的) relationships to your social circle. Here’re the suggestions:“Nobody is all positive or all negative,” says Luft. “But there are people you may feel more positive. Use that as your way to check people and keep records.” When spending time w ith others, pay attention to your feeling. Are you feeling tired and unhappy？To help you keep records, Luft suggests taking a moment when you get home to write down what your feeling is when around them.While it’s great to gather with positive friends, it’s also good to stay with others in the same life situations. “But if you’re all just complaining (抱怨) and nothing is changing, it’s not healthy,” says Luft. Are your friends negative, or are you doing most of the complaining? Considering the answers to these questions can help you decide if you want to stand in front of them. Or you could let the relationship disappear slowly.Sometimes your hobbies can lead to true friendships. Check out newspapers and websites to find a group or class for something you enjoy. These friends can always be there for you and can care each other through difficulties, illness and death.Not into groups? Look for individual (个人的) communication instead. Luft says, “Set small goals, such as having coffee with one new person, and develop friendship according to a plan. If someone suggests going for lunch sometime, set a date.”“If you’re feeling disappointed (失望) with a friend, try talking about what you both need,” says Luft. For example, tell her what you want during hard times in your lives.______________________________________. With some friends you laugh and have fun together at the movies—and that can be enough. With others, you pay attention to your deep connection.1．What does your happiness depend on, according to the passage?A．How people you connect with feel.B．How many friends you have.C．What situation you are in now.D．What kind of friends you have.2．What does the first suggestion want us to do?A．To measure our happiness.B．To check people around.C．To join a group for hobbies.D．To leave negative friends.3．Which of the following is true?A．We often have many friends during good times but few during hard times.B．It’s necessary to complain about something but not right to do so for long.C．Joining a group can bring better friendship than making individual friends.D．All the suggestions tell us to add positive relationship to our social circle.4．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ______.A．when your friend is sad, you should call her upB．when your friend leaves you, you need comfortC．friends’ needs may be quite different sometimesD．people may behave differently during hard timesB14、________________________This specially designed dress looks like a normal dress，but if you unfold it and cover yourself，you may look like a Coca Cola vending machine（自动售货机）.

Let’s get started. Please turn to Page 36. Today we’re studying participles as adjectives（分词作形容词）. Students often feel confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we need to practice a lot. Today, we’re just going to practice using present participles as adjectives.” Donna looked at all the blank faces around the classroom.

If we say, ‘The movie is interesting’, we are saying that the movie causes an emotion of interest. Any questions so far ? Is anyone confused ? ”The classroom was quiet.

Which part of the magazine is the writing most probably from?A News Corner. B. Travelling SquareC Language World. D. Technology GardenBWe use elevators all the time, but try and imagine life without them. Tall buildings wouldn't be possible without the invention of the elevator. It's convenient and safe. but did you know that long ago people were afraid of using elevators?People had been using ropes to move things for thousands of years before the invention of the modern elevator. The ancient Romans moved heavy things attached (系) to ropes pulled by people or animals. Then in 1743, the French king had a “flying chair”. His men lifted the king up to the second floor by using ropes. Although elevators had been improving over time, people were afraid to use them. People liked the idea of an elevator, but they believed it might suddenly fall.In 1853, Elisha Otis invented the modem elevator. He made safety brakes( 刹车) to stop the elevator from falling. Otis had been thinking about peoples fear of elevators. He decided to do an elevator act at a show in 1854. Otis stood on his elevator and cut the rope that was holding it. The elevator fell, but the safety brakes suddenly stopped it. Otis amazed the audiences! Three years later, customers at a department store in New York could travel to the fifth floor by using an Otis elevator.The next step was to improve the elevator ride. People had been feeling nervous about using elevators because they were small and noisy. In the 1920s, elevators started playing relaxing music to cover up other sounds. Then there was a great idea to put mirrors in elevators. The mirrors made the elevator seem bigger and quicker. People could check their hair instead of fearing the elevator!These days, elevators aren’t scary. Elevators are getting faster, and office buildings, apartments and hotels aregetting higher. You can find Otis elevators in most cities around the world. Remember to enjoy your ride in the elevator when you’re going up to the thirty-fifth floor!19. What is the correct order in which these happened?①An Otis elevator was first put into use in New York.②People used to move heavy things by pulling ropes.③Otis elevators can be found in most parts of the world.④Flying chair was once used to lift a king to the second floor.A. ②④③①B. ②④①③C. ③①②④D. ①②④③20.

Modern elevators were invented by accident.D. Elevators are very popular all over the world.CAs the weather changes from day to day, sometimes it's impossible to avoid catching a cold or the flu. However, that doesn't mean we have to suffer terribly. Since the only way to get better from a cold is to go through the process, many natural remedies (疗法) have helped to reduce the symptom (症状) of the common cold.If you feel the cold, you should drink something warm. Add honey and lemon to hot water or tea. You will keep warm while you're drinking tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger (姜) has been used for over two thousand years. A cup of ginger tea helps to increase the blood move and make you sweat through your body.Garlic (大蒜) is a super food. Garlic helps to fight off germs (细菌) when eaten daily. It can reduce the number of colds you get each year and shorten cold symptoms. If you don't mind eating uncooked garlic, it's best to eat a few pieces every three to four hours when you feel the first signs of a cold.It's no secret that salt gets rid of germs. For a sore throat, mix about half a teaspoon of salt into warm water and use as a mouthwash. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Japanese enjoy umeboshi, sour and salty apricots(杏子) that help keep the doctor away. Using a neti pot is an old practice from India that helps people breathe better. As a mixture of salt and water pours into the nose, the germs are cleared away.Although cutting an onion can make you cry, it's good for a blocked nose. People in Mexico and Spain eat hot peppers to get their sense of smell back temporarily during a cold. Of course, you'd better be ready to experience a wave of heat! In Korea, kimchi is a popular side dish that keeps people healthy. It's made from pickle vegetables, red hot sauce and sometimes garlic and ginger.It is common to have a cold, and Mother Nature’s remedies will be there for you to lower your pain when you need to fight against that cold!23.

Some parents are worried too---for example，Vanessa Holburn，thirty-two，who has two girls under the age of four.Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. " Pink says that you are soft and gentle.Blue says that you are strong and powerful.I want my daughters to be strong and powerful.I'm worried that pink will not help them with that，" she says.But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink.Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. "People forget that things change all the time，" he says. "My girls used to love pink when they were little，but as they get older，they change." Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change，" he adds. " It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink---before that it was a color for boys."8. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？______A. AB. BC. CD. D9. The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 means ______ .A. being soft and gentleB. being strong and powerfulC. being gentle but powerfulD. being cute and beautiful10. According to Grayson Turner，______ .A. parents needn't worry about pink toysB. all little kids love the color pinkC. pink has always been a color for girlsD. his girls now prefer the color blue11. The purpose of this passage is to ______ .A. explain why girls are crazy about the color pinkB. make parents less worried about the color pinkC. encourage girls to give up playing with pink toysD. show people's different opinions about the color pinkDThere is a glass on the table，filled up halfway with water.How would you describe the glass：half empty or half full If your answer was "half full"，then prepare yourself for an exciting life in which anything is possible.If you said "half empty" on the other hand，you might just fail to do something or be worried about your life.It may sound crazy，but that's the power of positive（积极的）thinking! Experts believe that positive thinking has several important benefits（好处）.First，it can make us feel happy about our life.If someone focuses on all of the good things that they have，he is much less likely to feel bad about his pare that to someone who's always talking about the bad side of any situation，the positive thinker will be the happier of the two.Positive thinking can also improve our health.One study showed that it takes shorter to recover（恢复）from diseases for people with positive thinking while it takes longer for those who are always in depressing feeling.Also，people who are highly stressed are easier to catch a cold and the flu. Another benefit is that positive thinking can influence the world around us.In the 2006 book The Secret，author Rhonda Byrne describes a "law of attraction".This law is according to the idea that positive thinking attracts positive things.If you think about a new sports car，you might just get one. Positive thinking may improve our minds，bodies，and even the world，but how do we get started？According to Richard Wiseman，an expert of psychology（心理学），the best way to change how we think is to change our behavior.He believes that if someone practices smiling every day，he or she will think happier thoughts.12. What does it mean if you describe a half glass of water "half full"？______A. You may fail to do something.B. Your life may sound crazy.C. You may have an exciting life.D. Your life may be impossible.13. What does the underlined word "depressing" in Para.3 probably mean？______A. Bright.B. Similar.C. Upset.D. Normal.14. What does Para.5 mainly talk about？______A. The idea of positive thinking.B. The way to start positive thinking.C. The benefits of positive thinking.D. The way to improve positive thinking.15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？______A. People with stress are difficult to get ill.B. Positive thinkers are more likely to feel sad.C. There are two benefits of positive thinking.D. Positive thinking might bring you what you want.16.

My dad chose a 16-milesection of the road for us to ride. Part of it included an old tunnel (隧道) called West Hill. This old tunnel is over a mile long!To prepare, we checked our tires (轮胎) and bike lights. My mom made us some food. She also gave us fruit and plenty of water. In the morning, we put our bikes into the car and set off.After a two-hour drive, we reached the road. It was a cool afternoon in early fall. But we were both wet and tired because our trip started with a long uphill climb! As we reached the West Hill Tunnel, I felt nervous as it was very dark inside! But my dad encouraged me. He said he would be right beside me. He reminded me to stay careful and keep my light on!When we entered the tunnel, the sound of our bikes echoed through the darkness. I turned on my flashlight and saw walls covered by drawings. The air smelled like wet mud (泥). And I feltlike I was being watched! I was pretty scared, but paying attention to following my dad helped me relax. After riding half-way through, I could see light coming from the other end of the tunnel. That gave me courage to keep going. And I was so happy to ride out into the bright afternoon!Whenever I go through hardships in life, I remember this trip. It reminds me that hope is always ahead of me. It turns on the light of hope in my heart, and it gives me courage to keep riding through life's dark tunnels.19．How did the writer and his father go through the tunnel?A．On foot.B．By bike.C．By bus.D．By car.20．Why did the writer feel nervous when he reached the tunnel?A．Because the tunnel was too long.B．Because the tunnel was too dark.C．The drawing on the walls in the tunnel.D．The light from the other end of the tunnel.21．What gave the writer courage to keep going in the tunnel?A．The sound of their bikes in the tunnel.B．The smell of the wet mud in the tunnel.C．The drawing on the walls in the tunnel.D．The light from the other end of the tunnel.22．Which is the right order about the changes of the writer's feelings?a. Nervous.b. Happy.c. Scaredd. Tired.A．d-a-c-b B．c-b-a-d C．b-c-d-a D．a-d-b-c阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 p. m. or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is needed. But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- tol2-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV."More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more chances to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones (荷尔蒙) not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p. m. Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota. changed the start time from 7:25 a. m. to 8:30 a. m. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the result.23．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?A．American kids' sleeping habits.B．Teenagers' sleep-related illnessesC．Activities to stop sleeplessness.D．Ways to solve sleeping problems.24．How many hours of sleep do 1l-year-olds need every day?A．7 hours.B．8 hours.C．10 hours.D．18 hours.25．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?A．Because they are influenced by certain body chemicals.B．Because they are excited by some bedtime activities.C．Because they are forced to do a lot of homework.D．Because they are allowed to go to school late.26．Where can we probably read this passage?A．In a news report.B．In a science fiction.C．In a fashion weekly.D．In a health magazine.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项①What does love mean to you? Is it that special feeling in your heart when you see someone you like? Is it the heartbeat you get when you hold hands? Love seems to be everywhere, and at some museums around the world, love is in the air all year round.②The Palazzo Filomela in Venice is better known as the Museum of Love. This museum was once the private home of a famous 16th-century singer. On the walls, you can see paintings of famous lovers, such as the god Cupid and his love, Psyche.③For many, love and chocolate go hand in hand, so a visit to the Chocolate Museum in Cologe, Germany, makes sense. There, visitors can learn about the history of Chocolate and watch chocolate bars being made. The museum also gives out chocolate cakes from a three-meter-high chocolate fountain (喷泉).④Love isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes things can go wrong, and Museum of Broken Relationships in Croatia is built to this. It has a collection of objects that people gave away from their failed relationships, and each one has a story that goes along with it. Visitors will see letters, photographs, dolls, and clothing from broken hearts all over the world.⑤On the brighter side, the Diamond Museum Amsterdam in Holland is the place to go when you're ready to take your love to the next level. At this museum, you can learn about diamonds. including how to tell a real one from a fake one. You may also get some ideas about which diamond to buy when you're planning to get married.⑥Shakespeare once wrote, "Love looks not with the eyes, but with mind. " Thanks to these special museums, we can all open our mind to-and fill our hearts with--love.27．According to the passage, where will visitors go if they want to know stories of famous lovers?A．To the Palazzo Filomela.B．To the Chocolate Museum.C．To Museum of Broken Relationships.D．To the Diamond Museum Amsterdam.28．Why does the author introduce a chocolate museum in the passage?A．Because people believe love and chocolate are closely connected.B．Because people love to learn the history of chocolate.C．Because people like to make chocolate bars.D．Because people want to eat chocolate cakes.29．What does "Love isn't always sunshine and rainbows. "mean in paragraph 4?A．There is always sadness in love.B．Love is like a colorful rainbow.C．There is little failure in relationships.D．Sometimes love can make you feel bad.30．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?A．B．C．D．(共5小题，每小题2分，满分 10分)阅读下面一篇关于提高说话技巧的短文，其中有五处(第31一35 题)需要添加小标题请从A一F 选项中选出符合意思的标题。

B. Travelling SquareC Language World. D. Technology GardenBWe use elevators all the time, but try and imagine life without them. Tall buildings wouldn't be possible without the invention of the elevator. It's convenient and safe. but did you know that long ago people were afraid of using elevators?People had been using ropes to move things for thousands of years before the invention of the modern elevator. The ancient Romans moved heavy things attached (系) to ropes pulled by people or animals. Then in 1743, the French king had a “flying chair”. His men lifted the king up to the second floor by using ropes. Although elevators had been improving over time, people were afraid to use them. People liked the idea of an elevator, but they believed it might suddenly fall.In 1853, Elisha Otis invented the modem elevator. He made safety brakes( 刹车) to stop the elevator from falling. Otis had been thinking about peoples fear of elevators. He decided to do an elevator act at a show in 1854. Otis stood on his elevator and cut the rope that was holding it. The elevator fell, but the safety brakes suddenly stopped it. Otis amazed the audiences! Three years later, customers at a department store in New York could travel to the fifth floor by using an Otis elevator.The next step was to improve the elevator ride. People had been feeling nervous about using elevators because they were small and noisy. In the 1920s, elevators started playing relaxing music to cover up other sounds. Then there was a great idea to put mirrors in elevators. The mirrors made the elevator seem bigger and quicker. People could check their hair instead of fearing the elevator!These days, elevators aren’t scary. Elevators are getting faster, and office buildings, apartments and hotels aregetting higher. You can find Otis elevators in most cities around the world. Remember to enjoy your ride in the elevator when you’re going up to the thirty-fifth floor!19.What is the correct order in which these happened?①An Otis elevator was first put into use in New York.②People used to move heavy things by pulling ropes.③Otis elevators can be found in most parts of the world.④Flying chair was once used to lift a king to the second floor.A. ②④③①B. ②④①③C. ③①②④D. ①②④③20.Why did Otis do an elevator show in 1854?A.To tell why it takes a lot of time to develop a new thing.B.To show how safe his elevators are with the safety brakes.C.To explain why safety brakes can be well used in any show.D.To check how hard it is for people to accept something new.21.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Relaxing music makes the ride in the elevator seem quicker.B.The elevators are made small enough to let people feel safe.C.Mirrors are fixed inside to make the elevators look brighter.D.The noise in the elevator used to make people feel anxious.22.What is the passage mainly about?A.Elevators have been developing over time.B.People used to be afraid of using elevators.C.Modern elevators were invented by accident.D.Elevators are very popular all over the world.CAs the weather changes from day to day, sometimes it's impossible to avoid catching a cold or the flu. However, that doesn't mean we have to suffer terribly. Since the only way to get better from a cold is to go through the process, many natural remedies (疗法) have helped to reduce the symptom (症状) of the common cold.If you feel the cold, you should drink something warm. Add honey and lemon to hot water or tea. You will keep warm while you're drinking tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger (姜) has been used for over two thousand years. A cup of ginger tea helps to increase the blood move and make you sweat through your body.Garlic (大蒜) is a super food. Garlic helps to fight off germs (细菌) when eaten daily. It can reduce the number of colds you get each year and shorten cold symptoms. If you don't mind eating uncooked garlic, it's best to eat a few pieces every three to four hours when you feel the first signs of a cold.It's no secret that salt gets rid of germs. For a sore throat, mix about half a teaspoon of salt into warm water and use as a mouthwash. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Japanese enjoy umeboshi, sour and salty apricots(杏子) that help keep the doctor away. Using a neti pot is an old practice from India that helps people breathe better. As a mixture of salt and water pours into the nose, the germs are cleared away.Although cutting an onion can make you cry, it's good for a blocked nose. People in Mexico and Spain eat hot peppers to get their sense of smell back temporarily during a cold. Of course, you'd better be ready to experience a wave of heat! In Korea, kimchi is a popular side dish that keeps people healthy. It's made from pickle vegetables, red hot sauce and sometimes garlic and ginger.It is common to have a cold, and Mother Nature’s remedies will be there for you to lower your pain when you need to fight against that cold!23.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?24.The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refers to .A. the garlicB. the germC. the coldD. the symptom25.The passage mainly wants to tell us that .A.people can catch a cold and the flu in many waysB.natural remedies are helpful when people catch coldsC.Mother Nature's food can take the place of medicineD.natural food helps people fight against all the illnesses26.According to the passage, we can learn that .A.a neti pot is always used to keep warmB.ginger is newly found to be good for healthC.kimchi is a main dish made from vegetablesD.umeboshi is salty and sour apricots Japanese likeDLiz Moore is a writer of novels.

That day in January 1948 changed the way people in the UK shopped. On 12 January 1948, a great number of people crowded into a new shop in Manor Park, London. This was because itallowed shoppers to choose, touch and take things off the shelves themselves. The idea came from the US, where a supermarket-style shop called Piggly Wiggly had opened in 1916. Its owner, Clarence Saunders, decided to let people help themselves instead of serving each of them. In this way, he could cut costs and reduce prices. Shopping trolleys (购物车) first appeared in the UK supermarkets in 1950. With a trolley, people could carry more in a single shopping trip.Within 10 years, supermarkets were springing up all over Britain. People could find one almost anywhere. The first one-stop supermarket opened in Nottingham shire, England, in 1964. It had 50 departments and sold everything under one roof. Around 30, 000 people and 1,000 cars turned up on its opening weekend, causing traffic jams. Today, 9 out of 10 people buy things from supermarkets.Supermarkets are using technology to make shopping easier. Amazon Fresh shops use cameras and shelves to see and weigh what people buy. In the US, “smart trolleys” scan (扫描) objects when they are dropped in and make it easy for customers to find things. Engineers in Hong Kong have designed self-driving trolleys. Supermarkets are looking for smarter ways to send things, too. Coles supermarket in Australia uses drones(无人机) to fly things to customers’ doors.8．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A．How British people paid for things.B．How supermarkets in the UK started.C．How shopping trolleys developed.D．How the owner cut costs in his shop.9．What does the underlined word “springing up” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Appearing.B．Returning.C．Competing.D．Moving. 10．In which order did these events happen?a. The first supermarket opened in Manor Park.b. Clarence Saunders started Piggly Wiggly.c. Shopping trolleys first appeared in the UK.d. The first one-stop supermarket opened in the UK.A．a-b-c-d B．a-b-d-c C．b-a-d-c D．b-a-c-d 11．What does a “smart trolley” in the US do?A．It carries more than before.B．It moves around by itself.C．It helps people find things.D．It weighs the things inside.Scientists have known for a long time that humans and other apes (类人猿) have many physical similarities. Now, new research has shown that we may also share a language because we use the same physical gestures (手势) to communicate.Researchers already knew that great apes use more than 80 gestures to communicate with each other. Touching each other, or holding hands is a way of greeting, while pointing their fingers down beside them means “come here”. The apes might also ask for food from each other by cupping (做杯状) a hand under another ape’s face.To test whether humans can understand these gestures, some scientists from the University of St Andres in Scotland brought 5,656 volunteers together. The scientists showed them 20 videos of apes making gestures. After watching each video, the volunteers had to guess what the ape’s gestures were communicating. The scientists gave some information to one group of volunteers, letting them know what the apes had been doing before they made each gesture. This group correctly guessed the meaning of the gestures 57% of the time. The other people, who were not given information about the ape’s activities, still succeeded 52% of the time. This suggests that humans seem to understand what apes’ gestures mean.Scientists need to do more work to find out exactly why humans understand the gestures. Researcher Kirsty Graham said that both humans and apes probably inherited (继承) the gestures from our last common ancestor. It is also possible that although humans have a spoken language, we kept our ability to use gestures to communicate. “In future, we hope to learn more about how gestures develop through the apes’ lifetimes,” Dr Graham added. 12．What does an ape probably mean by holding another ape’s hands?A．Asking for food.B．Asking for help.C．Saying “hello”.D．Saying “goodbye”.13．How does the writer show the results of the research in Paragraph 3?A．By raising questions.B．By using numbers.C．By listing reasons.D．By telling a story.14．Why do people seem to understand some of the apes’ gestures according to Graham? A．Because scientists have studied apes for quite a long time.B．Because humans use gestures to communicate with apes.C．Because the apes learned the gestures from the scientists.D．Because humans and apes share a last common ancestor.15．What will the researchers study in future according to Graham?A．In what other ways apes can communicate.B．How gestures change through apes’ lives.C．How humans communicate with gestures.D．What similarities humans share with apes.二、阅读还原6选5下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。

They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term andlong-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized (有条理的). When you put away a book - or memory - you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences using it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a wayto find a word when you need it.1．（小题1）In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because __________.A．they are too worriedB．they don’t use a proper wayC．they have memory problemsD．they don’t like to study2．（小题2）The underlined wordlong-termmeans __________ in Chinese.A．长的学期B．长期的C．长的术语D．长的条款3．（小题3）The long-term memory __________.A．lasts for only a few secondsB．is like a very big lake with lots of fishesC．is like a very big library with many, many booksD．is bad for students’ study4．（小题4）According to the passage, you can memorize vocabularies by __________.A．reading as often as possibleB．writing e-mails to the people you knowC．taking many photos about themD．making pictures in your mind with the words5．（小题5）This passage mainly tells us about __________.A．how to improve ways to remember wordsB．language students’ problems in studyC．short-term and long-term memoryD．how to make the meaning of words strongerB14、Everyone has probably seen a movie or two about robots going against man. As a kid it was interesting, but not a reality (现实). But today, when we look at how far scientists have come, it’s not just a funny thought but a real possibility.Honda has already created a robot with eyes, legs, arms and hands and it can act just like a person. There is no end to what a robot could do in the future. Just think what we can do in twenty to thirty years. We’re dealing with almost completely new types of human-like robots that could be cleverer than us. Can we continue to use these robots in a way that they serve us, or will they become so wise that they will want independence (独立)?I am really not sure just how far scientists are going to perfect robots. But once this type of robot is made, they will be able to think, make decisions, sense the movement of others and decide what it wants to do.A new invention has led to the introduction of a female robot, which was introduced at an entertainment show in Vegas. The robot called Roxy sells for between seven and ten thousand dollars. It is built to accompany (陪伴) females. This female robot companion (伴侣) is called true companion and you can find such robots on the Internet. Robots used to have limited uses, but now they are almost in every field. This has opened the door to many dangerous possibilities in the future.1．Why does the writer mention movies about robots?A．To prove robots can go against man.B．To lead to the topic of the passage.C．To show that robots are liked by film makers.D．To show that people are interested in robots.2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 suggest?A．There is an end to the development of robots.B．Robots will look exactly like human beings soon.C．Robots may be able to do anything in the future.D．Human beings don’t know what kind of robot they want.3．According to the writer, a perfect robot ____________.A．will surely go against human beings B．will always serve human beingsC．is still not as clever as human beings D．can think as human beings do4．It is implied (暗示) in the passage that the writer worries that __________.A．Robots have limited uses B．robots may be hard to controlC．robots may be harmful in the future D．human beings cannot create a perfect robotC15、Last summer holiday, I got a job working at a coffee shop.One rainy day, one of my regular customers(顾客）came in. He looked upset. He said he wanted to get in bed, pull the sheets(被单) up over his head, and stay there for a few years. I knew that he was unhappy.Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was surprised, since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee. I had given him his favorite type of doughnut(油炸圏饼).＂It’s on me,＂I told him. ＂Have a nice day. ＂He smiled and thanked me before heading into the rain.The next day, it was still raining. I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders. I was wet and cold. Worse, no one was tipping(给小费）that day.In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a note. He said that not many people took time to care about others today. With a friendly wave, he drove away.I ran to the back of the shop and read the note. It read：Christine,Thanks for being so sweet, kind yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who’s so nice. Please don’t change your ways!Have a great day!—HankAfter that, whenever I felt upset, I thought of Hank and his kindness.

He was clearly upset by the mistake.As we drove forward, my brother noticed a car pulled over to the side of the road. A youngguy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to find out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire (轮胎).My brother helped him change the flat. He said that this had been a bad week for him. Earlier he had gotten into a car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 and tried to give it to us. “No,” my brother said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge. We took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.”What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process.

How about eating them?Some of the bags are not harmful to the environment. Humans and animals can safely eat them. Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural materials. It looks and feels justlike plastic, but can break down (降解) easily.Ashwath Hedge who set up the EnviGreen company spent four years doing experiments with 12 natural materials. They include potatoes, corn, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the materials into liquid (液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.Although the EnviGreen bag is more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to the Wall Street Journal it takes 1,00 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview with The Better India. In the interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in waterand ate it with a smile.There are more than 15,000 tons of plastic waste every day. But only 9,000 tons are processed. In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.7．Where can you probably find the passage?A．In a history book.B．In a science magazine.C．In a storybook.D．In a book report.8．What do we know about the EnviGreen bag?A．It’s cheaper than a common plastic bag.B．It’s harmful to the environment.C．It’s the same as a common plastic bag.D．It’s made from natural materials.9．In which place can EnviGreen bag break down the fastest?A．In warm sea.B．In hot water.C．In wet earth.D．In cool air. 10．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To introduce us a special bag called EnviGreen bag.B．To tell us a great man named Ashwath Hedge.C．To show us a special company called EnviGreen.D．To ask us to make bags as the Indian company does.From “pull someone’s leg” to “be caught red-handed”, English has many “body-part” idioms (习语). How many of them have you learned? Do you know how they came into being?Back in the 18th century, it was popular to have your portrait (肖像) painted. The cost depended on how many arms and legs were to be painted. The cheapest choice was to have only your head and shoulders painted. The price increased as the picture became larger to include your arms and legs. Now, can you guess the meaning of “cost an arm and a leg”?The idiom “pull someone’s leg” came from the approach used by street thieves in London. Usually, the thieves worked in pairs. One of them used a rope to “pull” a person. The other thief then robbed (抢劫) the person as he or she lay on the ground. Today, nobody is likely to pull your leg with a rope. But you should still watch out. Someone might be thinking about pulling your leg by playing a trick on you!Where there were bad guys, there should be laws. But the law that gave birth to the idiom “be caught red-handed” wasn’t created in London. A few hundred kilometers away, in Scotland, anyone who killed a stolen animal would be punished. However, that person had to be caught “red-handed”—with the animal’s blood still on his or her hands.The idiom “give someone the cold shoulder” has something to do with an English custom. At the end of a party, the host would serve a cold cut of beef. This was not a direct way of telling the guests that they should leave. So if someone gives you the cold “shoulder”, you will have to walkaway.11．Which portrait might be the most expensive in the 18th century?A．B．C．D．12．What does the underlined word “approach” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Tool.B．Method.C．Rope.D．Language. 13．Which idiom has to do with the law?A．Cost an arm and a leg.B．Pull someone’s leg.C．Be caught red-handed.D．Give someone the cold shoulder. 14．Why did the host serve a cold cut of beef to the guests?A．To tell the guests to leave.B．To share the food they like. C．To show their kindness.D．To make the party perfect. 15．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．2022年浙江省杭州市上城区中考一模英语试卷1．To get to British Museum, people can take the subway to _________ .A．SouthwarkB．Russell Square C．Westminster D．Camden Town2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．All of the people can go into Tate Modem without paying.B．Children can dance at Sea Life London Aquarium in the evening.C．Mary Poppins Returns is on show four times a day at Odeon Cinema.D．People can see the sharks, turtles, and hundreds of fish at British Museum.3．The writings all tell us about ________.A．how much to pay for the activities B．whom to play with in LondonC．what to wear in different place D．where to pay a visit in LondonStella magazine asked YouGov, a research center, to interview over 1,000 women in Britain about everything from their eating habits to their relationships and family values, to find out what they really think.

So, it’s important to learn about the cultures they’re visiting.BRAZILIn general, Brazilian culture is informal (随意的). Most Brazilians are very friendly, so it’s important to greet the people you meet. Normally women kiss on the cheek, but men usually just shake hands. Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking. Even if this is unusual in your culture, try not to move away if it happens. If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift.On the other hand, if you are invited to someone’s house, you should take a gift—like flowers or chocolate. However, avoid anything purple or black, as these colors have to do with death.If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well, because a person’s appearance can be very important to Brazilians.SAUDI ARABIASaudi Arabia is a very traditional country. It is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first. People shake hands in business situations, but men and women do not touch in public.In a business meeting, do not start with business matters at once. Instead, lead in the conversation by asking about people’s family or health. Arrive on time for business meetings, but don’t be surprised if others are late. Being on time is less important in Saudi Arabia than it is in most western countries. Business dress is formal.Gifts are not expected at business meetings. If you are invited to a Saudi home, acceptable gifts are chocolate or coffee. Be careful not to admire the things the host owns, because he or she will feel necessary to give an item to you as a gift.8．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A．kissing on the cheek when greeting B．dressing formally when invited C．preparing gifts at business meetings D．standing very close when talking9．If we are invited to a Brazilian dinner, we’d better ________.A．dress informally B．be 30 minutes late C．bring black flowers D．ask about health10．Which of the following are mentioned in both countries in the passage?①lead-in topics①greetings①arriving time①giving gifts ①dressesA．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①11．Why does the writer write this passage?A．To ask more people to travel to different countries.B．To introduce some basic rules in different cultures.C．To teach tourists how to understand English culture.D．To show different opinions about different cultures.In 1957, the first spaceship was sent up to travel around the earth, and it started the time of Space Age. Years later, astronauts traveled around the earth and men walked on the moon. Today, space exploration continues, and governments try hard to make new discoveries. However, there has been one big change: private companies are entering the field of space travel.SpaceX has been very successful in space travel. They made the spaceship to work for the International Space Station (ISS). Elon Musk, the boss, wants to do more. He hopes that SpaceX will be able to send people to Mars by 2025.Another fan of space travel is Sir Richard Branson. His company is called Virgin Galactic. He wants to open space travel to everyone. The company has sold almost 700 future trips to space at a high price. The tourists come from countries all over the world and are of different ages.These private companies are lucky. They don’t have to wait for money from the government. However, they also have problems and accidents happen sometimes. In 2014, a Virgin spaceship fell down during a test flight. The 39-year-old pilot was killed. In 2016, another SpaceX spaceship exploded (爆炸）. No one was hurt, but important parts of it were lost.The exploration of the space continues. Some companies want to take people to the moon and back someday. Others want to take people to Mars. The possibilities are endless.

Tall buildings wouldn't be possible without the invention of the elevator. It's convenient and safe. but did you know that long ago people were afraid of using elevators?People had been using ropes to move things for thousands of years before the invention of the modern elevator. The ancient Romans moved heavy things attached (系) to ropes pulled by people or animals. Then in 1743, the French king had a “flying chair”. His men lifted the king up to the second floor by using ropes. Although elevators had been improving over time, people were afraid to use them. People liked the idea of an elevator, but they believed it might suddenly fall.In 1853, Elisha Otis invented the modem elevator. He made safety brakes(刹车) to stop the elevator from falling. Otis had been thinking about peoples fear of elevators. He decided to do an elevator act at a show in 1854. Otis stood on his elevator and cut the rope that was holding it. The elevator fell, but the safety brakes suddenly stopped it. Otis amazed the audiences! Three years later, customers at a department store in New York could travel to the fifth floor by using an Otis elevator.The next step was to improve the elevator ride. People had been feeling nervous about using elevators because they were small and noisy. In the 1920s, elevators started playing relaxing music to cover up other sounds. Then there was a great idea to put mirrors in elevators. The mirrors made the elevator seem bigger and quicker. People could check their hair instead of fearing the elevator!These days, elevators aren’t scary. Elevators are getting faster, and office buildings, apartments and hotels are getting higher.

However, that doesn't mean we have to suffer terribly. Since the only way to get better from a cold is to go through the process, many natural remedies (疗法) have helped to reduce the symptom (症状) of the common cold.If you feel the cold, you should drink something warm. Add honey and lemon to hot water or tea. You will keep warm while you're drinking tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger (姜) has been used for over two thousand years. A cup of ginger tea helps to increase the blood move and make you sweat through your body.Garlic (大蒜) is a super food. Garlic helps to fight off germs (细菌) when eaten daily. It can reduce the number of colds you get each year and shorten cold symptoms. If you don't mind eating uncooked garlic, it's best to eat a few pieces every three to four hours when you feel the first signs of a cold.It's no secret that salt gets rid of germs. For a sore throat, mix about half a teaspoon of salt into warm water and use as a mouthwash. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Japanese enjoy umeboshi, sour and salty apricots(杏子) that help keep the doctor away. Using a neti pot is an old practice from India that helps people breathe better. As a mixture of salt and water pours into the nose, the germs are cleared away.Although cutting an onion can make you cry, it's good for a blocked nose. People in Mexicoand Spain eat hot peppers to get their sense of smell back temporarily during a cold. Of course, you'd better be ready to experience a wave of heat! In Korea, kimchi is a popular side dish that keeps people healthy.

Only four percent of women do more than seven hours5 exercise per week, while twenty-one percent do no exercise at all.The biggest challenge for modem women is balancing home and work life (82%), followed by bringing up happy children (56%) and finding time for themselves (52%).As for their love lives, nine percent of women aged 45-54 met their husbands through the internet, and forty-nine percent of women believe that the best age to get married is between 25 and 29.And what about the relationships between men and women?

Most Brazilians are very friendly, so it's important to greet the people you meet. Normally women kiss on the cheek,but men usually just shake hands. Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking.Even if this is unusual in your culture,try not to move away if it happens.If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift.On the other hand,if you are invited to someone's house,you should take a gift—like flowers or chocolate. However,avoid anything purple or black,as these colors have to do with death.If you are invited to dinner,arrive at least30minutes late,but always dress well,because a person's appearance can be very important to Brazilians.SAUDI ARABIASaudi Arabia is a very traditional country.It is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first. People shake hands in business situations,but men and women do not touch in public.In a business meeting,do not start with business matters at once.Instead,lead in the conversation by asking about people’s family or health.Arrive on time for business meetings,but don’t be surprised if others are late. Being on time is less important in Saudi Arabia than it is in most western countries.Business dress is formal.Gifts are not expected at business meetings.If you are invited to a Saudi home, acceptable gifts are chocolate or coffee.Be careful not to admire the things the host owns,because he or she will feel necessary to give an item to you as a gift.1.The underlined word "this"in Paragraph2refers to_______ .A.kissing on the cheek when greetingB.dressing formally when invitedC. preparing gifts at business meetingsD. standing very close when talking2.If we are invited to a Brazilian dinner,we'd better_______ .A. dress informallyB. be30minutes lateC.bring black flowersD.ask about health3.Which of the following are mentioned in both countries in the passage?①lead-in topics②greetings ③arriving time ④giving gifts ⑤dressesA.①②③④B.①②④⑤C.①③④⑤D.②③④⑤4.Why does the writer write this passage?A.To ask more people to travel to different countries.B.To introduce some basic rules in different cultures.C.To teach tourists how to understand English culture.D.To show different opinions about different cultures.【答案】DBDBDIn1957,the first spaceship was sent up to travel around the earth.and it started the time of Space Age.Years later,astronauts traveled around the earth and men walked on the moon.Today,space exploration continues,and governments try hard to make new discoveries. However, there has been one big change:private companies areentering the field of space travel.SpaceX has been very successful in space travel.They made the spaceship to work for the International Space Station(ISS).Elon Musk,the boss,wants to do more.He hopes that SpaceX will be able to send people to Mars by 2025.Another fan of space travel is Sir Richard Branson.His company is called Virgin Galactic.He wants to open space travel to everyone.The company has sold almost700 future trips to space at a high price.The tourists come from countries all over the world and are of different ages.These private companies are lucky.They don't have to wait for money from the government.However,they also have problems and accidents happen sometimes.In2014,a Virgin spaceship fell down during a test flight.The 39-year-old pilot was killed.In2016, another SpaceX spaceship exploded(爆炸).No one was hurt,but important parts of it were lost.The exploration of the space continues.Some companies want to take people to the moon and back someday. Others want to take people to Mars.The possibilities are endless. Maybe in our lifetime.those dreams will come true.1.
