I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles.

We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself.

Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.He added, “Having been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing ratherwell, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”8.What is the purpose of the public holiday?A.To increase economic income.B.To encourage people to plant trees.C.To allow people to get more rest.D.To remind people to get close to nature. 9.Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3?A.Increase.B.Figure.C.Record.D.Stop.10.What does Soipan Tuya want to say by referring to the day as “a ‘hummingbird’ contribution day”?A.We should get on well with birds.B.No contribution is too small to leave animpact.C.Each animal is important to nature.D.It is time to protect hummingbirds. 11.What is the best title for the text?A.Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect WildlifeB.Kenya Is in Face of Environmental ProblemsC.Kenya Improves Relationships with Their NeighborsD.Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant TreesDAre you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ mental well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12.What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A.To introduce a phenomenon.B.To bring in the topic.C.To ask an interesting question.D.To provide background information. 13.How did the researchers conduct the study?A.By analyzing previous studies.B.By observing the behavior of birds.C.By gathering feelings of participants.D.By studying people’s effect on birds. 14.What does Hammoud think of the new study?A.Pioneering.B.Interesting.C.Conventional.D.Practical. 15.What is the main idea of the text?A.Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B.Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C.Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D.Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

People, animals and even trees need clean air to live. However, the air in many big cities is getting dirtier and dirtier.Car fumes are the main reason city air is dirty. The fumes come out of millions of cars and trucks. Factories also give off fumes. These fumes make the air good for breathing.How can we clean city air? Some European countries have solved a lot of their problems. One group built a special tower in a city park. The tower cleaned the air. A similar tower was built in another city. They sucked dirty air from one side and put clean air out on the other side. The air in between the two sides was cleaned.Another group in Europe cleaned dirty air with machines. They blow dirty air through the machines. The machines made it clean. These machines are as big as cupboards. A lot of these are put together in a city. They make a big wind. This wind keeps the dirty air away from the city.Bright Young will hold its annual talent show on June 10th.

While this is certainly true, it is also important to remember that learning doesn't just stop once you step out of the school building. There are opportunities to learn everywhere, and it is essential to take advantage of them in order to grow and develop as a person.One of the best ways to learn outside the classroom is by reading. Reading books can expose you to new ideas and experiences that you may not have encountered before. Whether it's a novel that transports you to a different world, or a non-fiction book that teaches you about a new subject, reading can help you to expand your horizons and challenge your beliefs.Talking to people is another valuable way to learn outside the classroom. Whether it's having a conversation with a friend, family member, or even a stranger, talking to others can provide you with new perspectives and insights that you may not have considered before. By engaging in meaningful conversations, you can learn from the experiences and knowledge of others, and gain a deeper understanding of the world around you.Finally, engaging in new experiences is a powerful way to learn outside the classroom. Trying new activities, visiting new places, and exposing yourself to different cultures can help you to develop new skills and expand your awareness of the world. Whether it's traveling to a foreigncountry, learning a new hobby, or participating in a community event, embracing new experiences can enrich your life and help you to learn andgrow in ways that you never thought possible.In conclusion, learning is not limited to the classroom. There areendless opportunities to learn outside of school, and it is important to take advantage of them in order to grow and develop as a person. By reading,talking to people, and engaging in new experiences, you can continue tolearn and expand your horizons long after you have left the classroom.22.

Byengaging in new experiences. D. Both B and C25. What may be the best title for the passage?A. The Importance of Reading BooksB. Learning in a Foreign CountryC. Learning Outside the ClassroomD. Visiting New PlacesCMost children love to play games in their free time. They like playing with their friends or on their own. Games can be fun and help them to relax. However, many people think that games can also be bad for children.One argument is that children who play games spend too much time in front of a screen. This can be bad for their eyes and health. It can also mean that they do not get enough exercise, which can cause health problems. In the past, children used to play outside for hours every day. Now, many children spend more time inside playing games on computers or games consoles.Some people also say that games can make children violent. Many games show people fighting or shooting each other. This can frighten children or make them think that violence is normal. Some children may copy things they see in games. It is important that children understand that games are not real and that violence is not acceptable.However, others say that games can be good for children. They say that games can help children to learn new things and improve their skills. Games can be educational and can help children to learn about differentsubjects. Some games can also help children to think carefully and to solve problems.In conclusion, games can be fun and relaxing, but it is also important for parents to make sure that children do not spend too much time playing games. It is also important for children to play games that are suitable for their age and to understand that games are not real.26.

He was born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770. He gave his first public performance at the age of seven. Beethoven moved to Vienna when he was 17. There, he studied briefly with Haydn, who was in residence in the city. Beethoven soon struck out on his own, studying with other teachers and with nobody at all, for he was often said to learn only from himself. Beethoven revolutionized every form of music he touched.In 1802, Beethoven wrote a famous document called the “Heiligenstadt Testament”! In it he described how his deafness had caused him to lose all hope for a happier future. The document actually shows that Beethoven had already overcome despair (绝望). The rest of his life would be devoted to his art. He went on to produce some of the most beautiful music ever written, works like the Seventh and Ninth Symphonies and the “Archduke” Trio (三重奏). Beethoven died in Vienna in 1827. Even though he was unable to hear his music he could still see with his own eyes the great effect it was creating on the world. With the passing of the years, people came to see Beethoven as not only a great composer, but a symbol of humanity’s striving for beauty, freedom, and goodness.30分)30.

湖南省永州市2023-2024学年高一下学期7月期末英语试题
湖南省永州市2023-2024学年高一下学期7月期末英语试题一、阅读理解For every world-famous European museum like the Louvre or Prado, there’s one which is underrated. The following museums are home to world-class collections but they just aren’t as well-known as they should be.Brera Art Gallery, ItalyExplore the rich history of artistic expression at this gallery in Milan, where you can take in a vast collection ranging from pre-history to the 20th century. Italian artists are well represented, with works from Bellini, Raphael and Caravaggio among the many highlights of the gallery.Museum of Money, FranceHave you ever thought much of the backstory behind the bills and coins in your pocket? If not, you’re in for a fascinating time at this museum in Paris. The museum educates visitors on the history behind the arts of currency and minting (铸造) and the incredible skill that goes into making coins. You won’t look at money the same way again.Gallerie dell’ Accademia, ItalyHome to a vast collection of Venetian art, this museum gets overlooked by many visitors to Venice, known as “the Floating (漂浮的) City”, but in reality, there are more than 800 works on display at the museum, and a visit will leave you with an even greater appreciation for the art of the Floating City.Fondation Louis Vuitton, FranceA beautiful space given over to contemporary art and culture designed by celebrated architect Frank Gehry, the museum in Paris is a pure work of art itself. You’ll be amazed at the futuristic glass architecture outside and the wide range of events and exhibitions inside. 1.Which museum exhibits Raphael’s works?A.Brera Art Gallery.B.Museum of Money.C.Gallerie dell’Accademia.D.Fondation Louis Vuitton.2.What do Museum of Money and Fondation Louis Vuitton have in common?A.They are located in Paris.B.They display contemporary art.C.They tell the backstory of coins.D.They are designed by Frank Gehry.3.What can visitors do in Gallerie dell’ Accademia?A.Collect Venetian art.B.Admire the art of Venice.C.Look at glass architecture.D.Overlook the Floating City.Christensen, a college student studying piano at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory, doesn’t have a dorm on campus, and instead lives at Claridge Court, a senior livıng facility in the nearby town of Prairie Village, 15 minutes away from campus. The people there are 50 or 60 years older than her.Christensen moved into Claridge Court in July 2023 to spend a year there as the student-in-residence. In doing so, she helped Claridge Court deepen its commitment to intergenerational programming, making it the only retirement community in the area to have such a partnership. In exchange for residency, she holds concerts and provides regular live music for the residents.“It’s really fun to have a relationship with your audience as a performer,” Christensen said. “In the beginning, I wouldn’t do anything too out of the ordinary — I would bring a vocalist sometimes, or I would play classical music. As I got more comfortable, I would try new things and play more recent music.”As part of her living arrangement, Christensen is encouraged to immerse (沉浸) herself in the community. From yoga to eating dinner with neighbors generations older than her, she has become a full-fledged (完全合格的) resident of Claridge Court.“I’m just part of the community, and it’s awesome,” Christensen said. “There are a lot of special connections I’ve made. My friend Pat was an educator, and I’m a piano teacher. She has great ideas about how to help kids who are struggling, and I can always ask her for advice. We do puzzles together, take walks and go to dinner. She has been a great friend, and she’s just one example. I feel so nurtured (支持) by these friendships.”“Music is such a connecting force,” Christensen adds. “It bridges generational divide. Having the opportunity to make connections with a community that’s several generations olderthan me has been so special. These connections don’t make our differences go away, but it helps us really appreciate each other. It has been such a beautiful experience.”4.What can we learn about Christensen?A.She studies violin.B.She lives next to Claridge Court.C.Her neighbors are senior citizens.D.She has graduated from a university.5.How does Christensen get involved in the community?A.By immersing herself in study.B.By giving piano lessons to residents.C.By performing concerts and live music.D.By trying new things from the beginning.6.How does Christensen feel about her living at Claridge Court?A.Stressed.B.Satisfied.C.Disappointed.D.Concerned. 7.What role does music play?A.It bridges the cultural gaps.B.It makes differences go away.C.It helps us appreciate the experience.D.It promotes intergenerational connection.People of all ages and times are constantly looking for the elixir (灵丹妙药) to good health. Yet, lots of scientific research has suggested that the secret of better health might simply be staying happy.Most studies suggest that happiness improves physical health. Laura Kubzansky, a researcher, conducted a study on over 6000 men and women aged 25 to 74 for 20 years, and found that happiness appears to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (冠心病) by half, and helps one avoid or manage diseases such as heart attack and stroke (中风). Kubzansky also found that children who displayed a sunny outlook at age seven reported better general health and fewer illnesses 30 years later. There are also suggestions that negative emotions could result in people making certain lifestyle choices such as an unhealthy diet and excessive (过度的) drinking that inturn result in poorer health.Sometimes, happiness can provide the emotional adrenaline (肾上腺素) to face life’s toughest challenges. America’s Jane Marczewski was battling with cancer when she received a golden buzzer (金峰鸣奖) at her audition at America’s Got Talent in 2021. Her ability to stay positive, despite being given a two percent chance to survive and her husband wanting a divorce, shocked millions across the globe. While being happy did not cure her cancer or save her marriage, her optimistic outlook pushed her to pursue her dream as a singer and songwriter, and even encouraged many people to stay hopeful and not give up.However, too much happiness can come at the price of health. When people are excessively happy, they tend to completely ignore the risks that surround them. They then tend to engage in riskier behaviour such as excessive alcohol consumption or binge eating (大吃大喝). This can cause physical and psychological harm.With the strong connection between happiness and good health, there are good reasons to keep ourselves happy. No matter what our circumstances are, we can do something to boost our emotional vitality, and do our best to keep healthy. We only have to remember to experience happiness in moderation (适度) and not take it to the extremes.8.What does Kubzansky’s study show?A.People will become happier with time going by.B.Happiness helps reduce the risk of stroke by half.C.Negative emotions hardly affects people’s lifestyle.D.Being happy contributes to preventing certain illnesses.9.How does the author present his view in paragraph 3?A.By giving an example.B.By listing some figures.C.By making a comparison.D.By analyzing causes and effects.10.What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A.Happy people tend to overrate risks.B.Riskier behaviour is related to low spirits.C.Too much happiness can cause health problems.D.Excessive happiness won’t cause mental problems.11.Which of the following may the author agree with?A.Being happy helps us only in hard situations.B.Experiencing excessive happiness is beneficial to us.C.Putting happiness first in any circumstances is reasonable.D.Having moderate happiness is helpful for us to keep healthy.Have you ever wondered how some animals survive the extremely cold winter months when food is rare and temperatures drop? The answer lies in a biological phenomenon called hibernation (冬眠).Hibernation is a complex process that involves a series of physiological changes. During hibernation, an animal’s metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate drops significantly, leading to an obvious reduction in energy expenditure (消耗). This is achieved by lowering the animal’s body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate. In this state, animals can survive for extended periods without food or water. Some animals are “light hibernators”, which means their body temperature drops slightly, and they awaken occasionally to eat stored food. An additional benefit of hibernation is that, when the animal hibernates, it will choose a spot to remain hidden from potential predators (捕食者).Hibernation has also been a subject of study in the scientific community, leading researchers to explore its potential applications, particularly in the fields of space travel and surgery. The idea of putting astronauts into a state of hibernation for extended journeys through space is a well-known theme in science fiction. By inducing (诱导) a hibernation-like state, astronauts could reduce their metabolic needs, conserve oxygen and significantly reduce the effects of aging. But such uses of induced hibernation are currently confined to silver screen — So far, no country has put them into practice.Up to now, medical professionals have had some success with a hibernation-like treatment called therapeutic hypothermia. This treatment, which puts the body into a state of near suspended animation (暂停生命体征), lowers the patient’s body temperature to as low as 18 degrees Celsius. Therapeutic hypothermia can also be used to protect organs (器官) during an organ transplant. While outside of the body, organs are deprived of oxygen and nutrients, leading to potential damage.Scientists have discovered some amazing applications for hibernation, and this biologicalwonder still holds many mysteries waiting to be uncovered.12.What happens to an animal during hibernation?A.It stays in a relatively safe place.B.Its metabolic rate drops slightly.C.It has to eat food frequently to survive.D.Its temperature will remain unchanged.13.What does the underlined word “confined” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Refused.B.Limited.C.Conducted.D.Strengthened. 14.What can we know about therapeutic hypothermia?A.It may lead to potential damage.B.It raises the patient’s body temperature.C.It helps prevent the organs from being damaged.D.It puts the body into a state of suspended animation.15.What is the author’s attitude toward the application of hibernation?A.Unclear.B.Indifferent.C.Doubtful.D.Approving.Research suggests that when you express creativity, you will experience greater well-being and happiness. 16 .Create an area of your own17 . It could be a small corner next to your bed, a wall or any place in your home. Now, think about the things that make you happy. Decorate your area with your favourite things. You may arrange them in any way you like. That is creativity!

For a start, a bit of doodling (涂鸦) and a few speech bubbles is what you can aim for.19 . Nobody said this is an exam! You only have to please yourself, to gain that satisfaction when you try something new, all on your own.20There are many courses out there that involve creative activities.

It is housed in one of Breda’s oldest buildings. In its former life, it was a guesthouse for pilgrims (朝圣者) in 1246 as well as a hospital in the 16th century and an old men’s house in the 17th century.The Palace MuseumThe Palace Museum was built by the third Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Yong Le. The palace was built between 1406 and 1420, but was burnt down, rebuilt and renovated (翻新) countless times, so most of the architecture you can see today dates from the 1700’s and onward.

However, life always seemed to “get in the way” every time she tried to finish her bachelor’s degree. The single mom was so devoted to working to support her two children that she repeatedly put her own education goals on hold, giving up her college program on two separate occasions over the years.When he was just five years old, her son Bonifacio Malhotra noticed her struggling to get her degree, and he made a promise to help her. “I remember I just told my mom … one day, it’s gonna be you and me,” Bonifacio said. “We’re going to gain our degrees at the same time.” Those words proved to be prophetic for the mom-and-son duo, who currently walked across the stage at the university to collect their bachelor’s degrees together!“That promise, he never allowed it to die,” said Pamela. “He continuously confirmed that we’re gonna do this.” Their path to graduation wasn’t easy, but Bonifacio stayed true to his promise and helped his mother along the way. The two hold two associate’s degrees each, so in the fall of 2021 they registered together in bachelor-level online courses. They both found the classes challenging, but Bonifacio stepped up as the cheerleader his mother needed. “Mom, you’ve got to keep it going. I know you want to stop. We must keep going,” Bonifacio recalled. “The main thing was just trying to get everything lined up and stay on top of all the work.”It took the Malhotras two years to finish their bachelor’s degrees, hers in humanities and Bonifacio’s in public safety administration. Pamela plans to stay at her job as a coordinator, and Bonifacio has accepted a job at university to help other students succeed in college, too.Pamela said she was incredibly proud of her son’s achievement, and she personally couldn’t have reached her lifelong goal without the support of her family, especially him. “Between my son and my daughter, they were my greatest supporter,” Pamela proudly said. 4.What does the underlined word “prophetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Professional.B.Particular.C.Precious.D.Predictable. 5.What do we know about the Malhotras?A.They took online courses at the same time.B.Pamela thought the courses were more challenging.C.Bonifacio majored in humanities at university.D.Pamela now works as a university teacher.6.Which of the following statement can best describe Bonifacio?A.He’s the good man of the house.B.He’s a man of all work.C.He’s a man among men.D.He’s a man of his word.7.What can be the best title of the the passage?A.We Value the Time Being with FamiliesB.Families Help Each OtherC.The Home Is Our HeavenD.Each Family Has Its Own ProblemsHe’s as big as a small golden dog and covered with scales (鳞片). He is the pangolin (穿山甲), an endangered animal.According to the wildlife trade monitoring organization Traffic, about one million pangolins were killed from 2000 through 2013, mainly for their scales, which are used in medicine. Pangolins are sensitive creatures and picky eaters that only eat certain species of ants, a diet that’s very difficult to copy in the food chain.“In the last decade, there’s been a huge growth trade in pangolins between continents, especially their scales,” says Dan Challender, chair of the pangolin specialist group. Previously, most pangolin killing happened within Asia, he says. This shift means that Asian pangolins are becoming difficult to find but that the value of the scales makes it worth the extra cost to take pangolins from Africa to Asia secretly.All eight species of pangolins, four in Africa and four in Asia, are in danger of extinction due to the illegal trade. International trade in the four species of Asian pangolins has been banned since 2000. In the past few years, a ban on international commercial trade in all eight species has gone into effect. It was voted by 183 governments that are parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which is in charge of cross-border trade in wild animals and their parts.Pangolins are eaten as bushmeat in western and central Africa and by some local groups in South and Southeast Asia. Their parts also are used in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, andelsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa as traditional medicine. Typically dried, ground into powder, and put into pills, pangolin scales are used in a range of traditional medicines to help mothers who have given birth to babies to recover. But they are now endangered. Perhaps no pangolins can be seen when our next generation grow up.8.What do you know about pangolins from Paragraph 2?A.Their meat is very delicious.B.Their scales are of great value.C.They are smaller than young dogs.D.They are on the top of the food chain.9.Why are pangolins brought from Africa to Asia?A.Pangolins are cheaper in Africa.B.No laws protect pangolins in Africa.C.People in Asia can really save pangolins.D.Pangolins have sharply decreased in numbers in Asia.10.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?A.Pangolins have many different species.B.The bans on pangolin trade are ineffective.C.People used to take advantage of pangolins in different ways.D.Governments have tried to contribute to the protection of pangolins.11.What’s the author’s attitude towards pangolins’ future?A.Positive.B.Uncaring.C.Concerned.D.Confident.In the digital age, we are becoming accustomed to technological innovations, and the fact that they can have a deep impact on our lives.The number of the smartphone adult users has reached 85 percent in the UK population. Meanwhile streaming and 5G tech are changing the way we watch movies, TV shows and sports events. But Artificial Intelligence(AI) is probably the biggest game-changer of them all. The biggest impacts have nothing to do with robots or even digital assistants like Google Home. Here are two real-world applications of AI that are already changing our world for the betterOne is better medical diagnose. If you had some illness, would you want to be diagnosed by a doctor or a machine? You’d probably say the former, but in reality, the question is notthat simple. Today, human expertise and AI work side by side to make faster, better diagnoses. Think of it this way—a doctor can spend an hour reading six or seven cases while AI can do six or seven thousand in seconds and then present the doctor with a range of possible medical conditions along with their related probabilities.The other is reducing fraud( 欺诈) . Fraud against big businesses seems nothing to do with us. In fact, it often ends up affecting us all, especially when insurance companies, for example, are forced to increase the premium( 保费) to cover losses. AI is being used more and more in insurtech, both to speed up the claim( 索赔) process and to mark possibly fraudulent claims more reliably. It does this by analysing big data trends. Faster processing and reduced fraud are good news for everyone, and that can save money for us.12.What has affected the way of our lives most?A.Reading books.B.Digital assistants.C.Smart robots.D.Artificial Intelligence.A.Professional knowledge B.Interesting hobbiesC.Medical conditions D.Scientific research14.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.AI can benefit us a lot.B.AI can help us earn money.C.AI makes the claim process slow.D.AI makes us increase the premium.15.What is the best title for the text?A.How AI Is Reducing Fraud in Our Live.B.How AI Is Touching All Our Lives for the Better.C.What Advantages AI Is Bringing to Medical Diagnose.D.In What Aspects AI Is Changing the Way of Entertainment.Honesty has always been a traditional virtue in China. Despite the passage of time, honesty has been passed down as a mainstream value. 16A famous Chinese idiom (成语), yinuo qianjin, tells such a story. In the early Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), a general named Ji Bu was known for being courageous and honest. Legend has it that whenever Ji made a promise, he would spare no effort to fulfill it.17 There was a saying widely spread: It is better to have a promise from Ji Bu than to get hundreds of ounces of gold.18 During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Li Daquan, a successful businessman in Shanxi province, was visited by a friend who came up with a new idea. In ancient China, carrying a large quantity of cash was not only a heavy burden but could also put the owner in danger. His friend proposed that a draft (汇票) be issued to replace the real cash. This draft was not only a promise to pay, but also a claim that an amount of coin equals to the specified amount and the draft could be cashed everywhere. Li readily agreed and kept his word. The story soon got around, and Li’s honesty brought him a flood of customers and a booming business. 19 It is called the predecessor (前身) of the Chinese banking industry. His banking business eventually expanded into 35 branches across the country. Rishengchang has been preserved and turned into a museum now.In today’s China, the spirit of honesty is still well-respected. 20 Their stories are broadcast across the country to set good examples and promote the virtue of honesty.A.China selects national role models every year.B.China is a country that values and rewards honesty.C.Everyone should follow suit and be an honest person.D.Honesty is priceless and honesty also brings creativity.E.Such a virtue of honesty earned him a good popularity.F.It is also shown in countless tales throughout China’s history.G.Li Daquan later set up China’s first draft bank, Rishengchang.二、完形填空I had a wonderful Easter (复活节) when I was four years old. On Easter morning, thereI looked across the lawn and saw the other kids 26 holding up their plastic eggs and knew my chance of finding even one egg was getting 27 .

Where there is a will,there is a way.CIn the wild,polar bears spend much of their lives wandering pack ice (浮冰群)in search of food.These bears have adapted to a high fat diet from ocean-going animals:they are rapid and dangerous swimmers,allowing them to easily catch animals as food.Each summer,as the pack ice starts to become smaller,polar bears draw closer to land to give birth to and care for babies.Many give up food during this period,hunting again when the ice returns and living on stored fat.Pack ice is decreasing globally.When it does form,it disappears more quickly,and tends to be thinner as well.In 2004,several polar bear deaths by drowning were recorded.The bears had been trapped on faraway areas of floating ice,and had tried to swim for land.Due to the disappearance of the ice,they were tired and drowned before reaching shore safely.This problem is likely to grow as the pack ice becomes smaller.The disappearance of the ice has other impacts for polar bears:they are losing their natural prey (猎物),who are also affected by the loss of habitat.The bears are not very good at catching land animals,and must compete with other species for these food nd animals also don't provide the high fat diet that polar bears need,which may lead to hunger.Hungry mothers may not be able to provide their babies with the nutrition needed,which will further contribute to the drop in polar bear population.The deadly factors brought about by global warming put polar bears at risk.Drops in birth and survival rates have already been documented,and biologists are increasingly concerned aboutthe animals' odd behavior as a result of the loss of their natural habitat.Environmental organizations believe a global effort is needed to fight against global warming before it is too late for polar bears,as well as many other species that call Earth home.8.In which season are baby polar bears born?______A. Spring.B. Summer.C. Autumn.D. Winter.9.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?______A. The disappearance of the ice has negative effects on polar bears.B. Polar bears have to compete with other species for food sources.C. Land animals don't provide the high fat diet that polar bears need.D. Hungry bear mothers can't provide their babies with the nutrition needed.10.What is biologists' attitude to the animals' strange behavior?______A. Doubtful.B. Relieved.C. Positive.D. Worried.11.What can be the best title for the text?______A. Why is pack ice becoming smaller?B. What measures can we take to protect polar bears?C. Are polar bears in danger from global warming?D. Is global warming becoming more and more serious?DStress isn't just a state of mind.It's something that can create disorder in your body.Experts say poor physical health can often signal poor mental health.Research shows stress affects the nervous system and can even cause structural (结构的)changes in the brain,which can change how we think and change our memory.Stress can also weaken our immune (免疫的)system,making us ill more easily.How do you check your body for stress Kennedy,director of psychology at Driftwood Recovery Center in Texas,said sometimes it's easier for someone to focus on physical symptoms (症状)than to identify what they're feeling emotionally.That's why she advises her patients to perform a daily body check. "We're not going to be aware of how we're feeling or how we're starting to have a little more muscle tension," Kennedy said.To check in,you need to slow down. "Check in with each muscle group,from your feet to your head," she said. "You can notice things like, 'Oh,I'm having a headache,' or 'maybe I'm having some fatigue,which makes me want to sleep.'"Kennedy said,while stress may not feel good,our body's responses to it are likely to be a goodthing in the end if we can make full use of these signals.She also notes that one of the things that can be most healing (治愈的)to a body is connection to another person."There's neurochemicals (神经化学物质)that actually get produced in our brains when we're connecting with others in a meaningful way," she said. "Relationships and connection with others are key."12.What effects can stress bring about?______A. Stress can cause health problems.B. Stress can improve brain structure.C. Stress can build immune system.D. Stress can influence brains positively.13.Kennedy advises patients to check their bodies because ______ .A. people think they are seriously ill.B. people have a little more muscle tension.C. people think emotional feelings are more important.D. people focus more easily on physical symptoms than on feelings.14.What does the underlined word "fatigue" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?______A. Excitement.B. Anxiety.C. Tiredness.D. Satisfaction.15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph______A. Stress is of great benefit if dealt with properly.B. Stress may not feel good to reduce stress.C. Stress is produced by neurochemicals in our brains.D. Stress is removed only through meaningful communication.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)We all grew up hearing parents and teachers tell us to do well in school.The fact is that if so,we'll have many more choices in the future.However,No matter how far you are in your education,it can be a challenge.

A website.B. A guidebook.C. A textbook.D. A poster.BPeople might think I’m behind the times, but I think wearing uniforms at school is a good idea. It helps us feel like part of a group. For example, when our school football team plays with another school team, the players will feel encouraged to see all their school friends wearing the school uniforms.These days, when a school does not have its own uniform, many students wear veryfashionable clothes to school. Some are even trying to show that they have the coolest clothes. I think this is wrong. How we look is not as important as what we learn at school. Why do we need to wear these kinds of clothes to school when the purpose of going to school is learning? If we want to look smart all the time, we will have to wear different clothes every day. Won’t it become too expensive to look smart?As students, we exercise and do sport all the time. We need comfortable clothes rather than fashionable clothes because they are too difficult to take care of. I always play football with my friends after school. I like to wear a cotton shirt and cotton shorts. My mother wouldn’t be happy if I played football in an expensive shirt.It’s true that some school uniforms look very boring. Many of them are made up of a shirt and trousers for boys, and a blouse and a skirt or a dress for girls. They are usually in boring colors as well, like grey, black, white and brown. Like you, I am also a young person who likes bright colors and fashionable clothes. However, we should pay attention to our studies during this important time in our lives.My father never wears a suit at home or at the weekend, but he wears one at the office every weekday. I know we want to feel happy at school and it is nice to be different. However, like my father, perhaps we should wear our favorite clothes only at home or at the weekend.24. According to the passage, what’s more important for students to do at school?A. To wear school uniforms.B. To be dressed in fashionable clothes.C. To exercise.D. To gain knowledge.25. Which of the following does the writer not approve of?A. School uniforms gives us strong group sense.B. Wearing school uniforms is economical(经济的).C. How we look is more important than learning.D. It is comfortable to work out in cotton clothes.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Students prefer to wear bright school uniforms.B. All of the students like to wear fashionable clothes.C. Uniforms make the students smart and attractive.D. The author’s father is fond of suits at home.27. What’s the author’s attitude towards wearing school uniforms at school?A. Supportive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Doubtful.CSome people can eat what they want and keep in shape, but others try hard to be careful about what they eat and yet still put on weight. Scientists are beginning to believe that some people receive the ability to stay thin from their parents.Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies store the energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. However, some other people may eatmore than they need to, but their body is able to burn off the extra food without making fat, so they never have weight problems.To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat, and the mice with the ability to store much fat gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists believe that people’s bodies act in the same way, and that it may be possible to produce medicines that can stop people from gaining weight because they store too much fat.The study of weight gain is important and needs to be continued, as more and more people have weight problems. In the United States over fifty percent of population is now overweight. This can cause serious illnesses such as heart disease.Medicines for weight control do not work very well because many of them have side effects. Some cause heart problems and others cause liver problems. It’s important to do research on new medicines. However, it takes a long time to develop them. Before new medicines for weight control are available, we have to exercise and eat a good diet. We must pay attention to our own weight control.28.

On the one hand, life never seems to be going fast enough; on the other hand, life seems to be rushing too fast like a race car, and even going out of control.These feelings are a common part of adolescence. And, though it may sometimes be difficult to believe, you are not alone----every adult has gone through adolescence, and your friends are going through it right now along with you. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood. These feelings can be thought of as growing pains----the difficulties that teenagersface as they grow to adults.As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become confused with the changing world both inside and outside of them. During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical changes. They grow taller and their voices get deeper, among many other developments.Along with these physical changes, there come many psychological changes. Boys and girls tend to be different in this regard. Many boys become risk-takers to find their own limits and those of the world around them, but may not have the wisdom to make good choices in their behaviour. At the same time, girls often want someone to talk to, as they try to deal with their strong feelings.In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need their parents' love, yet feel distant; they may want to be part of the group, yet desire independence. Since teenagers have difficulty balancing these needs, they often question who they are and how they fit in society.The good news is that these kinds of growing pains do not last. In the end everything turns out OK--the teenager becomes a healthy adult, and this period of change and challenge will disappear with those days.32.
