AWe’re a nation —a globe, in fact —obsessed with our hair. Analysts estimate th e global hair product industry to be worth €22.6 billion, growing at a rate of up to seven percent a year.There seems to be no limit on what we’ll spend to avoid a bad hair day. But for devotees of an underground beauty movement, the secret lies in throwing away the shampoo, in fact all the hair products, for good.The “no-poo” method, which involves using natural substitutes or just water in place of shampoo and conditioner, is supported by several circles.Beauty insiders, including writers for women’s m agazines and professional hairdressers, speak highly of how hair becomes thicker, fuller, softer and brighter.And environmentalists who are mindful of money feel great joy at the lack of chemicals in and on their bodies—not to mention the impact on their budgets.Now one devotee is hoping to take it mainstream. Lucy Aitken Read, whose book Happy Hair: The definitive guide to giving up shampoo was released last week, hasn’t used shampoo for two years and her glowing brown hair is visibly in perfect condition.For her, the motivation came after reading a study that claimed women put 515 chemicals on their bodies daily. “I initially thought ‘Ha! They didn’t research me!’,” Aitken Read says. “Then I looked at the back of my shampoo bottle and realized there wer e loads of chemical components I didn’t recognize in the slightest.”Strangely it’s oily hair that could benefit the most from giving up shampoo.The theory behind the “no-poo” method is that shampoo removes the hair from its natural oils, which causes the scalp (头皮) to generate more oils to replace them. This results in oil overload — oily hair—which we then attempt to “fix” with more shampoo. It’s a vicious (恶性的) circle and quite a brilliant success for the shampoo industry, because the more shampoo you use, the more you need to use and the more frequently you need to use it.Left to its own devices or washed with natural substitutes, the scalp eventually theoretically returns to its natural balance. The result should be healthier hair that is stronger, thicker and fuller as it is less damaged than shampooed hair.1. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. More and more people produce hair products.B. More and more people waste money on their hair.C. More and more hair products are wasted every year.D. More and more hair products are produced every year.2. According to Para 5, environmentalists are in favor of “no-poo” method because _______.A. it has the same chemicals as shampoo doesB. it helps reduce their budgets on daily expenses in a wayC. natural substitutes are friendly to the environmentD. they know shampoo has an impact on their health3. What can we learn from Lucy’s words?A. She didn’t realize shampoo contains so many harmful chemicals.B. She didn’t realize shampoo contains all the necessa ry chemicals.C. She couldn’t recognize the description on the shampoo bottle.D. She didn’t recognize she was quite different from other women.4. What is the main trouble with shampoo?A. It adds more oils to the hair.B. It prevents the scalp producing oils.C. It badly impacts the shampoo industry.D. It makes people addicted to using it more often.【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇科教类阅读。

第I卷（选择题）一．完形填空：（每小题1分，共20分）When I was a little boy, I would play outside for hours on sunny summer days and then have a deep and peaceful sleep at night. Sometimes, I’d have some vivid dreams, making me 1 for a moment. I would stare out into the darkness to see if anything was there and then 2 over and go back to sleep. I can still remember a few times when I woke up, 3 out into the darkness, and actually 4 someone there. It was Mom 5 over me as I slept. Each time she 6 told me to go back to sleep and I closed my eyes again, feeling 7 and loved.I 8 asked Mom why she watched me sleep from time to time, but 9 seeing my own children 10 so fast, I think I know why. She wanted to catch a moment in time and 11 it in her heart forever.I just 12 that she carried a lot of those moments with her into Heaven when she 13 at only 55.Last night I was sleeping lightly 14 I suddenly felt someone near me. I opened my eyes and saw Mom’s 15 standing in the room, smiling at me. And then she was gone.Now 16 may say that this was just a dream, a wish or part of an o ld 17 .

A. hope B. joy C. love D. surprised二．阅读理解：（每小题2分，共30分）AToday our life and work rarely feel light or pleasant. Instead, the whole experience of being alive begins to melt into hugeresponsibility. It becomes the standard greeting everywhere: I am so busy. We say this to one another with no small degree of pride. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, to be unable to find time for the sunset, to speed through our responsibilities without time for a single mindful breath — this has become the model of a successful life.Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We lose the nourishment(营养) that gives us help. We miss the quiet that gives us wisdom. Poisoned by the belief that good things come only through tireless effort, we never truly rest.This is not the world we dreamed of when we were young. How did we get so terribly rushed in a world filled with work and responsibility, yet somehow lack of joy and delight?We have forgotten the Sabbath (安息日). Sabbath is the time to enjoy and celebrate what is beautiful and good —time to light candles, sing songs, tell stories, bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, nap and walk. It is time to be nourished and refreshed as we let our work, our chores and our important projects lie fallow, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world when we are at rest.Sabbath is more than the absence of work. Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. But the Sabbath has proven its wisdom over the ages. Many of us still recall when, not long ago, shops and offices were closed on Sundays. Those quiet Sunday afternoons remained in our cultural memory. 21．Nowadays, when we greet people by saying, “I am so busy”，we feel ________.A．sorry B．proudC．unhappy D．responsible22．If a person lives a successful life, he is expected ________.A．to be always available to his family and friendsB．to be able to enjoy a leisure holidayC．to be occupied with too many obligationsD．to become a model for everyone else23．According to the author, we should do the following EXCEPT ________.A．showing interest in beautiful thingsB．having time to get refreshedC．putting away obligations and resting when necessaryD．believing that good things come only through tireless effortBAs a parent, you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps apreschooler.Develop social skillsAs children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co-workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy (同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.Build self-confidenceYoung children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers (摩天大楼) or asuperhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.Boost intellectual growthUsing the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a king’s castle in a mound (堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically (象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.Practice language skillsKids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and promote communication skills.Work out fearsPlaying pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role-play about the big, bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn’t seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent (发泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling (兄弟姐妹).To encourage your youngster’s imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures. Reader’s Digest Young Families offers a beautiful typical Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Awards winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books－Bambi and Pinochio.24. What’s NOT the advantage of children having a goodimagination?A. Understanding the other people’s feelings and problemsB. Expressing their feelings like anger.C. Having a strong faith in their own abilities and potential.D. Helping them form a good habit of reading story.25. What does the underlined word “Boost” mean?A. Improve.B. Limit.C. Push.D. Praise.26. What’s the purpose of writing the article?A. To tell readers the benefits of encouraging children’s imagination.B. To introduce some wonderful Disney stories to readers.C. To provide ways of helping make kids more imaginative.D. To persuade parents to buy the Disney edition of Peter Pan.C。

This is especially true for grain farmers. Mice eat a lot of grain. They also carry diseases(疾病), which people can get from eating or touching grain the mice have made dirty. Farmers can use special grain storage buildings or they can kill the mice. However, both methods can be costly. Farmers must buy materials to build the special grain storage buildings or chemical poisons to kill the mice．Here is a way to kill mice without spending a lot of money. It is a simple but effective kind of mouse trap. The method is first used by some farmers in the west African country of Mali. An agricultural expert in Mali reported about the Mali mouse trap in a magazine. The expert reported that his gardener caught 150 mice in just one night. The gardener used four traps. The trap is easy to make. First, remove the top from a 20 liter metal or plastic container(容器). Put it in a hole in the ground. The top edge of the container should be the level with the surface of the ground. Fill the container with water to within eight centimeters of the top. Add tiny pieces of grain wastes. They should float on the water. Also put some wastes on the ground near the trap. During the night, mice will come out to eat the grain wastes. They will fall into the container and drown. Replace the food in the trap every night．36. According to the passage，_____ used the mouse trap first,A. an agricultural expert in the west AfricaB. farmers in the United StatesC. all American gardenerD. farmers in Mali37. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. A simple and effective method used by farmers to kill mice．B.How to kill mice．C. Methods used by farmers to kill mice．D. Farmers have problems with mice．38. Which of the following can’t protect grain from being eaten by mice?A．A special grain storage building．B．Chemical poisons．C．A mouse trap．D．A hole in the ground39. Which is probably the trap mentioned in the passage?BAnn was on her first package trip in Rosas, Spain.At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs when she found tha t her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn’t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas(西班牙货币单位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread andsome oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she’d just have breakfast each day, as s he knew the price of hotels included breakfast.For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holid ay wasn’t bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much.Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant.

How do you think Jane would feel after she heard Ann’s answer?A. Angry.B. Happy.C. Surprised.D. ExcitedCTeachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to pre-school children. But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read story-books in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text. “If you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.” But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms. They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR--- Sit Together and Read. The project is based at Ohio State. It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms.There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of theprint or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print--- for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.44. What do we know about the ways pre-school children are usually taught?A. More attention is paid to the pictures ,with words and letters being ignored.B. Preference is given to the shape of letters and the organization of the print.C. The focus of the teaching is on bringing them up to be good readers.D. Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures.45. What does Shayne Piasta suggest pre-school teachers should do in class?A. Teach children how to draw pictures to get an idea of what they mean.B. Change the way they teach and pay more attention to words and letters.C. Adopt different methods according to the students’ difference in reading skills.D. Read storybooks to children rather than explain the meaning of the pictures.46. Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of pre-school children?A. Many teachers want to change their way of teaching pre-school children.B. Attention on the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading.C. Project STAR aims to research into the results of reading books to pre-school children in theclassroom.D. Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching.47. Which section of a magazine does the passage probably come from?A. Fashion.B. Economy .C. Entertainment.D. Education.DThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London.

Firstly, technology has made education more accessible. With online courses and digital libraries, students can learn anytime and anywhere, breaking the limitations of traditional classroom settings. Secondly, technology enhances the efficiency of learning. Tools like educational software and apps can personalize learning experiences, catering to individual learning styles and paces. Moreover, technology facilitates collaboration. Students can work together on projects using cloud-based platforms, regardless of their physical locations.However, the integration of technology in education also presents challenges. It requires continuous professional development for teachers to keep up with the latest educational technologies. Additionally, not all students have equal access to technological resources, which can exacerbate educational inequality.In conclusion, while technology brings numerous benefits to modern education, it is crucial to address the associated challenges to ensure that it serves as a tool for equitable and effective learning.。

AMost people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters.

I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this .I decidedto realize my dream ,even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.13. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplaneB. She entered a competitionC. She went on a hot air balloon rideD. She moved into a retirement community14. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to .A. build up her own reputationB. show her admiration for himC. compare their health conditionD. make her argument persuasive(有说服力的)15. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. ExcitedB. ScaredC. NervousD. Regretful第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The 16-year-old had already been married for a year. “She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, ‘I had to drop out of school’，” Robinson said in a telephone interview. “That c onveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson, the first woman to serve as Ireland's president and former U．N. high commissioner for human fights. “Her life, as far as she is concerned, had more or less ended.”Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever-increasing population, predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon. “European countries are concerned about aging populations as is Japan, but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，” she said. “Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries, so that we have a very big challenge.”Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in sub-Saharan Africa. In May, the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100. Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia's 1 percent growth rate. If that rate stays consistent, which is not certain, Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.Joel Cohen, a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York, said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth-rate regions. In addition to providing information about birth control, a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility (生育力), improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mind-set of having many children, in the hopes that some will survive to improving the quality of each child's life, Cohen wrote in the journal Nature. 36．In the first paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ________.A．explaining the author's opinions B．giving an exampleC．describing the poor education system D．coming straight to the topic37．What can we learn from the passage?A．Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.B．Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.C．Robinson is worried about population growth.D．Robinson encourages female education.38．What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education?A．It provides basic knowledge of health.B．It improves the health of children.C．It makes people pay more attention to education.D．It can change people's parenting ideas.39．According to Robinson, what is one of the most important things policymakers can do to prevent the population from increasing rapidly?A．Keeping girls in school. B．Letting girls go away from Africa.C．Letting young girls remain single. D．Keeping girls in families.Butterflies are some of the most fascinating and beautiful insects in the world. Adult butterflies will live about 2 to 4 weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in an appropriate place, migrate, and avoid hungry enemies.Butterflies have large compound eyes, which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very near-sighted, so they are more attracted to a sea of flowers than individual plants. Butterflies do not “see” colors such as red, green, and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to honey sources.Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their nose, since they don't have one. Sense receptors are located in their antennae, feet, and many other parts of the body. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey food, and mates.Butterflies' feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey, letting the butterflies know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies feed their babies using a long tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.Butterflies don't have ears. Instead they “hear” sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations.Butterflies may possess senses we don't even know about yet, because their body structure is very different from ours, and therefore difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses.40．The text mainly focuses on ________.A．butterflies' living habits B．butterflies' beautyC．butterflies' senses D．butterflies' daily activities 41．What can we learn from the 2nd paragraph?A．Butterflies can see in all directions and don't need to turn heads.B．Butterflies have good eyesight.C．Butterflies are sensitive to bright colors including red and yellow.D．Butterflies cannot sense the ultraviolet light.42．Why do female adult butterflies carefully choose the host plants?A．To find high-qualified honey.B．To have a good place for living.C．To make it easier for them to hide from the enemies.D．To find a proper place for their eggs.COne’s style of the dress reveals the human obsession with both novelty and tradition. People use clothing to declare their membership in a particular social group; however, the rules for what is acceptable dress for that group may change. In affluent societies, this changing of the rules is the driving force behind fashions. By keeping up with fashions, that is, by changing their clothing style frequently but meanwhile, members of a group both satisfy their desire for novelty and obey the rules, thus demonstrating their membership in the group.There are some interesting variations (变种) regarding individual status. Some people, particularly in the West, consider themselves of such high status that they do not need to display it with their clothing. For example, many wealthy people in the entertainment industry appear in very casual clothes, such as the worn jeans and work boots of a manual laborer. However, it is likely that a subtle but important signal, such as an expensive wristwatch, will prevail over the message of the casual dress. Such an inverted (颠倒的)status display is most likely to occur where the person’s high status is conveyed in ways other than with clothing, such as having a famous face.43. According to the author, fashions serve all the following purposes EXCEPTA. satisfying an interest in noveltyB. signaling a change in personal beliefsC. displaying membership in a social groupD. following traditional rules44. Why does the author discuss individual status in paragraph 2?A. To state that individual’s status is not important in the WestB. To argue that individuals need not obey every fashion ruleC. To contrast the status of entertainers with that of manual laborersD. To explain how high status may involve an inverted status display45. What’s the meaning of the underlined word?A. newnessB. conventionC. noblenessD. benzeneDWhat is the purpose of the interview from the college’s perspective? Most college would say that they are trying to find out if the student is a good fit. ____46_____ So beyond the obvious interview tips related to a nice haircut, appropriate clothes and effective eye contact, there are lots of ways you can make a good impression.Bring your resume---- _____47___ The resume details what you’ve been doing outside of school besides homework. ____48_____ Bringing a resume may also provide you with the opportunity to talk about the topics you are familiar with.Be prepared.

You should be able to demonstrate that you have completed a thoughtful college search and that you know why their college is a good fit for you.Be confident. Of course, it is nerve-wracking to be interviewed. However, how you deal with your nerves may shed some light on how you will deal with other obstacles. College interviewers often say they are looking for students who they would want for a roommate. ____50____A.Conduct wide research on the college.B.Watch your language.C.That means that it’s important that you are confident enough to share your uniquepersonality traits (品质).D.They want to know how interested you are and how you’ll contribute to their campus.E.Make sure it specifically spells out your achievements.F.You want to stand out and distinguish yourself, but in an acceptable way.G.It gives the interviewer a window into your interests and how you might get involved attheir college.第II卷（非选择题）请将答案写在答题卡上第一节：单词拼写（共10题，每题0.5分，共5分）51.He is intelligent but he is lack of __________.

故选C。
技巧点拨：牢记独立主格就是非谓语从句拥有自己的逻辑主语。
