deaths could be avoided according to the scientists.For the health of the planet,they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land,water and animals.This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.Tim Lang,a professor at Britain’s University of London.He said,“The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.”Lang added,“The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050.If we want to feed everyone,we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”So,what do you eat on the “planetary health”diet?The scientists who created the “planetary health”diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk,fish and meat.The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts,fruits,and vegetable.Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health”diet.He said,“More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim.But for them,doing nothing is also not a choice.Willet said,“If we can’t make the best diet,it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”12.What decides the health of people and the planet

Megan Piphus Peace is one of them: In late 2021, she became the show’s first full-time black woman puppeteer, playing a 6-year-old black girl named Gabrielle. Last month, she officially left her real estate career. “I always dreamed of working in television, but I never imagined myself being on Sesame Street,” she says.Piphus Peace, now 29, grew up watching Sesame Street. As a young child, she considered the puppets to be her companions, not realizing until she was older that they weren’t real. She has been pursuing puppeteering since then. At Vanderbilt University, where she studied economics, she was known as the “Vanderbilt Ventriloquist (腹语表演者).” She even appeared on The Tonight Show in 2012 and America’s Got Talent in 2013.One of Piphus Peace’s teachers, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, who played the Sesame Street character Abby Cadabby in 2006, says that Piphus Peace is a gifted storyteller and natural leader. “To say that I was amazed by Megan would be an understatement,”Carrara-Rudolph says. “I was inspired by her loving heart, strength of character, humor, humanity and what an energetic creative force she is.”Although Piphus Peace submitted her first video audition (试演) to Sesame Street in 2017, she didn’t hear back until 2020, when Matt Vogel, the puppet captain of the show, reached out to her. “She comes from a different kind of puppetry background than most of other Sesame Street puppet performers,” Vogel says. “We went to college to learn puppetry, or acting schools, etc., but Megan learned the art of ventriloquism by herself.”4.What do we know about Piphus Peace?A.She used to work in television. B.She is now part of Sesame Street. C.She was called Gabrielle at a young age. D.She has been a puppeteer for over 50 years.5.How did Piphus Peace look at the puppets in her childhood?A.She thought they were unreal. B.She considered them to be humorous. C.She found it hard to distinguish them. D.She regarded them as her friends. 6.What does paragraph 3 strongly stress?A.Carrara-Rudolph’s impact on Piphus PeaceB.The striking characteristics of Sesame StreetC.Carrara-Rudolph’s opinion of Piphus PeaceD.The character Abby Cadabby in Sesame Street7.Why is Piphus Peace different from most other performers according to Vogel? A.She is a self-trained ventriloquist. B.She is the most popular performer. C.She has played many different characters. D.She is the only female actress in the show.Reading books can obviously make you a better, smarter entrepreneur. According to a 2018 study of over 160,000 adults in 31 countries, the more books that were present in participants’ childhood homes, the more competent they now were as adults with skills in literacy, mathematics, and technological problem-solving. Researchers note that book-oriented socialization, indicated by home library size, equips youth with lifelong tastes, skill and knowledge.Growing up with home libraries boosts adult skills in literacy, numeracy and technological problem-solving beyond the benefits acquired from parental education or your own educational or occupational attainment. Kids who grow up in a home where reading is valued and modeled are more likely to be good readers. Strangely enough, though, advanced education doesn’t necessarily offset the “lots of books in the home” advantage. Adults who grew up with relatively few books in their homes and later earned a college degree had literacy levels approximately equal to adults who grew up in homes with large libraries but only attended school for nine years.Jessica Stillman [of Inc.] writes, surrounding yourself with more books than you could ever read says good things about your mind. Those books serve as a constant reminder of all the things you don’t know — which helps keep you intellectually hungry and curious. And possibly, this will keep you a little more modest, since research shows the quicker you are to admit you don’t know something, the faster you can then learn it. As Jeff Bezos says, a key sign of intelligence is the willingness to change your mind, something that only happens if you’re willing to admit that your current thinking may not be the best thinking. Modesty, learning and the willingness to change your mind when new data presents itself: That’s another three bonus every entrepreneur can benefit from.8.What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about the research?A.Tough process. B.Inspiring discovery.C.Numerous data. D.Advanced technology.9.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 2?A.Compete with. B.Differ from. C.Go against. D.Compensate for. 10.Why does the author mention Jessica?A.To keep readers intellectually hungry. B.To stress the significance of modesty.C.To remind readers of their ignorance. D.To evidence the benefits of home library.11.What is the passage mainly about?A.Home library size indicates lifelong skills. B.Home reading equals to a college degree.C.Modesty makes a promising entrepreneur. D.Childhood libraries lead to adulthood success.The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.12.You’d better not drive in a car on Gold Coast because ________.A.you will break the traffic rulesB.you will cause much noiseC.you can’t enjoy the beautiful sights wellD.you can’t drive into some parks13.The following advantages of hiring bikes are mentioned EXCEPT that ________.

It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood (情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likelyto recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 19 It gives us a great feeling of peace.20 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D.To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.A.Being in nature refreshes us.B.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?C.Fresh air cleans our lungs.D.So what are you waiting for?E.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.F.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.G.Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.三、完形填空Music can make us happy, peaceful or sad.

They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Manners on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:◆ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.◆If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.◆Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it. 1.What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?A.Safer trips. B.Lower costs.C.More use of transport. D.Longer service hours.2.Which of the following statements is true about the transportation system for the disabled in Canada?A.Some cities limit their mobility on city buses.B.It provides free rides for them in towns and cities.C.All cities don’t run special transport services for them.D.For safety, it offers fewer transportation options for them.3.Which is considered proper while you are on public transportation?A.If possible, keep a certain distance from others.B.If possible, place your backpacks on a vacant seat.C.If necessary, raise your voice to make yourself heard.D.If necessary, you can pull others to make room for yourself.【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。

It is a day that is meant to raise awareness (意识) and appreciation about the Earth’s natural environment.World Book DayWorld Book Day is a celebration to improve the enjoyment of books and reading. Each year, on April 23, celebrations take place all over the world. April 23 marks the anniversary (周年纪念日) of the birth or death of a number of well-known writers, including William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Manuel Mejía Vallejo.

As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a "last lecture”. This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.The only difference in Pausch's case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only motivated him more. He delivered his last lecture, "Really Achieving Your Chi ldhood Dreams” on Sept. 18, 2007.Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved and the others he hadn't. He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don't always succeed He shared the values learned through experience, which he hoped to pass on to others hard work, laughter and gratitude.honesty , character ,Pausch's last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention. It became a crazy YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged (删节的)version on “The Oprah Winfrey Show". He turned the lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young children.Pausch passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can neverrun dry.4.Why was Pausch asked to give his "last lecture ?A.

Give the Last LectureCBelieve it or not, nearly a fifth of older adults have contact with friends, family and neighbors less than once a week. In the United Kingdom, that amounts to nearly 9 million residents who are isolated with little social contact. In the United States, a 2019 survey on aging found 8% of older adults living alone who report feelings of loneliness.In Somerset, England, the local police found a way to fight social isolation. Local police chose a project that was local, where they could see the change they’d enabled. Their “chat benches” appeared in local parks, where they encourage strollers(散步者) to sit down and have a chat with a random stranger.“The sign simply helps to break down the invisible, social barriers that exists between strangers who find themselves sharing a common place. We can all play a part…” according to a spokesman for the police dep artment. “Simply stopping to say ‘hello’ to someone at the chat bench could make a huge difference to the vulnerable(易受伤害的) people in our communities and help to make life a little better for them.”Some Texans in the United States, are trying to relieve the loneliness and isolation that many elderly Americans are feeling during the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒流行)by creating safe “hugging booths.”Amber Crenshaw and her husband Steve Crenshaw own a business called Handle With Care and work with Unlimited Care Cottages, an assisted living facility. Amber said she and her husband designed and built the hugging booths after one of the nurses suggested the idea."The residents have been, just so filled with joy,” Amber said. “It was one of our resident’s birthdays. We were able to set the booth up for their birthday, and family members were able to come in and give birthday hugs. It has really lifted the spirits of the assisted living residents.”The Crenshaws have just worked with Unlimited Care so far, but they said other assisted living facilities in Texas have contacted them with interest.8.What is the finding of the 2019 investigation?A. A majority of old people get in touch with others less than once a week.B. The number of isolated people who contact with others adds up to 9 million in the UK.C. 8% of the aged people who suffer from loneliness live on their own in America.D. There are more people who have little connection with others in the UK than in the USA.9.Why did the local police in Somerset set up “chat benches” in local parks?A. To remind older adults of the tricks of the cheats.B. To better the public facilities in the community.C. To make local people feel closer to each other.D. To celebrate United Nations World Elder Day.10.What can be inferred from the case of “hugging booths”?A. Hugging booths play a role in birthday hugs in family membersB. The Crenshaws run a business and an assisted living facilityC. Some nurses first came up with the idea of the “hugging booth”.D. There’re many assi sted living facilities with hugging booths.11.What’s the purpose of this text?A. To raise people’s awareness of caring lonely seniors.B. To help protect the people living in the community.C. To urge family members to hug each other more often.D. To present the differences between the two methods.DA study of 100 mobile apps for kids found that 72 broke a law aimed at protecting children's online privacy. Researchers developed a tool that can determine whether a mobile app follows the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act(COPPA). The tool was 99%right. Researchers continue to improve the technology, which they plan to make available for download at no cost.When you download an app, it can get a lot of information on your cellphone. You have to keep in mind that all this information can be collected by these apps and sent to third parties. What do they do with it? They can pretty much do anything. We should be careful about this. Apps can get personal identifiable information, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, locations, audio and visual recordings, and unique identifiers or devices such as an international mobile equipment identity(IMEI), media access control(MAC) addresses, Android IDs and Android advertising IDs. The advertising ID, for example, allows app developers to collect information on user’s interests, which they can then sell to advertisers. What's worse, games and other apps that violate COPPA cause privacy risks that could make it possible for someone to determine a child's ID and location. A bad man could probably get the user's email ID and geographic location and try to kidnap the child.COPPA requires that websites and online services directed to children get parental agreement before collecting, personal information from anyone younger than 13; however, as the research found, many popular apps do not follow the rule. Researchers found that many popular games designed specifically for young children showed users’. Android IDs, Android advertising IDs and device descriptions. Researchers suggest that parents should be careful when downloading or allowing children to download apps. They advise keeping downloads to a minimum. Don't download apps unless they need to.12.What is the matter with most mobile apps for kids?A. They lead children to do wrong.B. They are too expensive for kids.C. They collect children's private information.D. They are too difficult to operate.13.What can we learn about the testing tool?A. It will be put online for sale.B. Parents will get it for free.C. Apps will find ways to deal with it.D. Researchers will give it up after the study.14.What will apps do with kids' privacy?A. They will send it to others.B. They will publish it online.C. They will keep it a secret.D. They will use it in social surveys.15.What is the researchers' advice to parents about downloading apps?A. Downloading as few apps as possible.B. Downloading as many apps as required.C. Downloading no apps from the Internet.D. Downloading apps that COPPA identifies.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。

I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner.

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. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. Ifought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared.

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, “H aving 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’ me ntal 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。

More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would hap-pen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometres in such cold weather!It was getting late. They rode on and on.

If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend( 趋势) in Urumqi.“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others. ” Lin Tao, a junior student says.“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box. ” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:◆ The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.◆ Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.◆ Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.◆ Many clothes are too old and shabby(破烂的).“What’s worse,” one of the staff in a community added, “We qutie often see people throw rubbishinto the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times b ut failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”In order to make the donation box work in an efficient(有效的)way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.1. Miss Li gives away her clothes because .A. her clothes are out of styleB. her mother clears out her clothesC. she is growing too fastD. she wants to make something2. The reporter from UTV has collected .A. 4 problemsB. 5 problemsC. 6 problemsD. 7 problems3.

The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 means .A. the clothes donation boxesB. some clothes in the boxC. handbags and pencil casesD. the old people5. We can infer(推断) from the passage that .A. the clothes donation will be better-organized to help donators and people in needB. the clothes donation becomes less popular than before because of serious problemsC. the clothes donation can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of styleD. the clothes donation gives the traders a good idea to sell old clothes for making money15.(10分)“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity(机会) toencourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.★ Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunit y.Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “little things can change a person’s life.”1.

No thing can stop her.”Last year, Malala passed the entrance examination of Oxford University through her hard work.Before she finished her high school, she had written a book I am Malala. She said, “I hope the readers around the world have chances to read my book. My dream is that more and more people will realize it is extremely difficult for children and women in some areas to get education. Actually, my story is also the story of 61 million children.

MontrealCAs we grow old,we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to.Yet re-readers are everywhere around us.For certain fans,re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a traditional practice annually.One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him,despite his having read it over50times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading.Journalist Rebecca Mead,a long-time English woman in New York,first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at17.Since then,she has read it again every five years.With each re-reading,it has opened up further;in each chapter of her life,it has resonated(引起共鸣)differently.Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeated reading,but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines.These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading.Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading,we are concerned with the“what”and the“why”.Second time round,we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express.As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained,returning to a book“brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books(if we’re fond of making notes on the pages).These texts can carry us back to a time and place,and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by living experience but also by reading experience.More than the movie director,the writer calls upon our imaginations,using words to lead us to experience mixed feelings in literature.Re-reading a book takes up more time,but as Mead confirms,the rewards make it extremely worthwhile.8.The two books are mentioned in Paragraph1mainly to________.A.attract the attention of readersB.introduce the topic of the passageC.provide some background informationD.show the similarity between re-readers9.The underlined expression“crack their spines”in Paragraph2refers to________.A.recite themB.re-read themC.recall themD.retell them10.It can be learned from the passage that________.A.reading benefits people both physically and mentallyB.readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC.we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD.writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do11.The purpose of the passage is to________.A.call on different understandings of old booksB.focus on the mental health benefits of readingC.bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD.introduce the effective ways of re-reading old booksDHuman activity is changing the surface and temperature of the planet.But new research shows it is also changing the sound of the earth’s oceans.Scientists say the changes in the sounds of our oceans affect many underwater animals—from very small fish to huge whales.Sound travels very far underwater.For fish,sound is probably a better way to sense their environment than light.Sound helps fish and other underwater animals survive.They use sound to communicate with each other. Sound also helps some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters.However,the research suggests that increasing noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other.The noise is coming from shipping traffic,fishing ships,underwater oil and gas exploration,offshore construction and other noisy human activities.Experts explain the term“masking”on its website.“Masking”happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to underwater animals'existence.The Red Sea is one of the world's most important shipping passages.It is full of large ships traveling to Asia, Europe and Africa.Some fish and other animals now avoid the noisiest areas.Scientists use underwater equipment to record fish sounds.These sounds are in the same low frequencies as shipping traffic noise.Experts state that“masking”is the most noticeable when a noise is at the same frequency and loudness as biologically important sounds.Experts say that effects of noise on underwater animals are not well understood.However,some studies suggest that noise may cause hearing loss.The stress from human noise might also affect the immune system—an animal's natural defense system—as well as reproductive health or behavior.Sound pollution may be easier to deal with than other ocean threats.It’s not like plastics and climate change, which are much harder to deal with.12.What does the research show about the effect of noise on ocean animals?A.It affects their eyesight.B.It disturbs their hearing.C.It prevents them traveling around.D.It destroys their food for survival.13.How do sea creatures react to the noisiest areas in the Red Sea?A.They are fitting in there.B.They stay away from them.C.They insist on staying there.D.They develop ways to stand them.14.What do we know about the noise in the sea?A.It is difficult to record.B.It is the most harmful pollution.C.Its full effects remain to be seen.D.It’s harder to avoid than other pollution.15.What can be the best title for the text?A.Humans Are Making Oceans Too NoisyB.Underwater Noise Pollution Is ImprovingC.Sea Noise Pollution Receives Little AttentionD.Ocean Animals Face Survival Dangers Frequently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。

高一下学期英语期末考试模拟试卷一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)1. 阅读理解Just as John Lubbock said, we may sit in a library and yet be in all quarters of the earth. Here are some of the coolest libraries of the world.Stuttgart City LibraryDespite a classic white-on-white color, Stuttgart City Library is one of the most visually appealing modern libraries. The amazing modern and simple look is the product of the Korean architect Yi Eun-young. The German library opened in 2011, and cost nearly 80 million euros to construct.Kanazawa Umimirai LibraryArchitects from the Coelacanth K&H Architects studio designed the Kanazawa Umimirai Library lo create the best reading environment. Healed floors, an outpouring of natural light, and other features were specifically included lo achieve this goal. The wall, which consists of thousands of tiny openings, allows natural lighting into the building, improving the overall feel of the space. This Japanese library was opened in 2011, and reflects the appearance of many modern and simple spaces.Library of CongressIn 1800, Congress set up the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Fifteen years later, Thomas Jefferson offered his personal library to replacebooks that were lost when the British set the building on fire in 1814. His books, which took nearly 50 years to collect, varied from texts on science, literature and philosophy, to books in a variety of foreign languages. These days, the Library of Congress offers more than 155 million items and the largest rare book collection in North America.State Library of VictoriaThe Slate Library of Victoria, located in Melbourne, Australia, is one of the largest exhibiting libraries in the world. Though it opened in 1856, major repairs took place between 1990 and 2004. The La Trobe Reading Room is one of the library’s main attractions due to its visually amazing architecture. The lawn at the library’s front attracts hundreds of city folk each day, who gather for lunch or to enjoy the statues there. The library currently contains over two million books, as well as armor of Ned Kelly, a folk hero against the ruling class.(1)Which library has the longest history?A . Stuttgart City Library.B . Kanazawa Umimirai Library.C . Library of Congress.D . State Library of Victoria.(2)What’s special about State Library of Victoria?A . It has great architecture.B . It has a folk her o’s statue in it.C . It is the world’s largest exhibiting library.D . It serves as a meeting place for the citizens.(3)What does the first two libraries have in common?A . They are constructed in the modern style.B . They cost a large amountof money.C . They are designed by Korean architects.D . They feature providing readers with natural light.2. 阅读理解Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box”After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighborhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today. When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to do your best and do much better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”(1)From the passage, we can learn that ______.A . Deka was adopted by a refugee familyB . Deka became a professor after graduationC . Deka’s experiences drove her to work hardD . Deka spent a lot of time going to parties(2)Deka realized the importance of education ______.A . after her chemistry classB . from her mother’s experienceC . by reading books in the libraryD . through working at the institute (3)According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be ______.A . patientB . ambitiousC . confidentD . generous(4)What does the story intend to tell us?A . Life is not all roses.B . Practice makes perfect.C . Well begun is half done.D . Hard work leads to success.3. 阅读理解The worst outbreak ofdesert locusts in decades is presentlyunderway in the Horn of Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years forEthiopia and Somalia — and the worst Kenya has seen for 70 years.What we are seeing in East Africa today is unlike anything we’ve seen in a very long time. Itsdestructive potential is enorm ous, and it’s taking place in a region wherefarmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most ofthe countries hardest hit are those where millions of people are alreadyvulnerable or in serioushumanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.We have acted quickly torespond to this outbreak. The primary method of battling locusts is the aerialspraying of pesticides . FAO’s “LocustWatch” service explains that “although giantnets, flamethrowers, lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past,these are not in use for locust control. People and birds often eat locusts butusually not enough to significantly reduce population levels over large areas.”The UN’s Office for theCoordination of Humanitar ian Affairs has released $10 million from its CentralEmergency Relief Fund to fund a huge scale-up in aerial operations to managethe outbreak.But the window to containthis crisis is closing fast. We only have until the beginning of March to bringthis infestation under control as that is when the rain and planting seasonbegins. If left unchecked —and with expected additional rains — locust numbersin East Africa could increase 500 times byJune.We must act now to avoid afull-blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time, we need to pay attentionto a bigger picture. This is not the first time the Greater Horn of Africa hasseen locust outbreak approach this scale, but the current situation is theworst in decades. This is linked to climate change. Warmer seas mean moretropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.(1)What is implied in paragraph 2?A . People in East Africa are suffering drought.B . People in East Africa are going through floods.C . The locust outbreak will cause crop failure.D . The locust outbreak is worsening locals’ life.(2)What can we learn from the last paragraph?A . We need a bigger picture to study the disaster.B . It is the second outbreak of locusts in East Africa.C . It is the largest outbreak of locusts ever in history.D . The outbreak of locusts is fueled by global warming.(3)What is the purpose of the text?A . To analyse and compare.B . To inform and call for.C . To argue and discuss.D . To introduce and assess.(4)Where does the text probably come from?A . A guidebook.B . A health magazine.C . A news report.D . A chemistry paper.4. 阅读理解Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learningto predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchersreport the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes beforethey happen within a 30-kilometer area.Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in theatmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can bedestructive and deadly. European researchers have estimated that between 6,000and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason,climate scientists have long sought todevelop methods to predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments uses a combination ofdata from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchersdeveloped a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditionsthat were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12-yearperiod from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data,related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature,relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learningalgorithm , which compared it torecords of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able tolearn the conditions under which lightning happens.The researchers test-ran the system several times. Theyfound that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent ofthe time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Instituteof Technology said in a statement.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology inpartnershipwith a European effort that aims to create a lightning protectionprogram. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on theproject are experimenting with alaser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferringlightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology canone day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could beat stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.(1)Why was the system developed?A . To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.B . To show the power of lightning.C . To keep track of lightning deaths.D . To protect people from lightning.(2)What is special about the system?A . It was based on a number of samples worldwide.B . It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.C . It used an effective method of collecting data.D . It required low cost of predicting lightning.(3)What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?A . Monitor lightning activity.B . Prevent the occurrence of lightning.C . Direct energy from lightning.D . Generate electricity with lightning.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A . A System of Controlling LightningB . A Method of Forecasting LightningC . A Theory of Employing LightningD . A Model of Creating Lightning二、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)5. 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
