Among them , what I participated in was the 100-meter dash, which required me to speed up to the extreme in a short time. Unfortunately, I ultimately failed to perform well in the race, making me determined to grasp the opportunity next time through continuing efforts.That’s all my experience of the event. Would you please share your school life with me? Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua 二、读后续写（满分25分）【参考范文】Then the two-hundred-metre breaststroke was announced. My heart pounded fiercely ，as I strode to my assigned place. Leaping into the water, I tried my best to lift up my chin and stretched my limps.“ It is time to face it.”I followed Morgan’s advice -- focus on your own route and don’t distract any attention toany other swimmers. Soon, my arms became sore and my legs were weak. I was on the verge of giving up. Exhausted and weary as I was, I kept moving and gradually felt my rhythm and managed to control my strokes. Without realizing , I had already accomplished one and a half hundred meters.There was only 50 meters to go. The shortness of breath made my body sink and my movement was more and more sluggish. I was going to give up when coach Cafferty’s smile flashed over my mind. I gritted my teeth and pushed myself forward,stroking my arms with water splashing around .When my hand touched the finishing bar, I felt both tired and a sense of achievement. When I pulled myself out of the water with shaking arms, Morgan hugged me tightly, crying, “You did it!” Coach Cafferty thumbed up to me, and the smile on her face seemed even more radiant, as if to say,” You see, girl. You finally go out of your comfort zone and managed to embrace the success.”听力原文第一节(Text 1)W: Hey, Warren. Would you like to go to the park today?M: I am sorry, Fatima. Since it’s so hot, I’m thinking about going to the shopping center instead.W: That sounds good! Can I join you?M: Sure. Let me go home first to have a shower. Then, let’s hit the center!(Text 2)M: What can you do in the sports club?W: Oh, the usual things, tennis, swimming, indoor golf, and yoga … but basically I just use the swimming pool.(Text 3)M: Would you like a drink of something? Cola, a beer, or water?W: You know, I’m on a diet, so I don’t drink cola. And I never drink beer.M: OK. I see.(Text 4)W: Brad, we’ve been here in the cafe for nearly two hours. I need my book now! No more waiting!M: Let’s wait for Tim a little longer. He’ll be here with your book any minute now.W: You told me that an hour ago. It’s already noon!(Text 5)M: Hi! I’m Paul. You’re new here, aren’t you?W: Oh, hi! My name is Jenny.M: Where are you from?W: I am from Canada. My dad got a new job here, so we moved and my brother and I will both study here.第二节(Text 6)M: How about the class size in your hometown?W: Well, in Brazil, we usually have lecture classes with about forty or fifty students and sometimes you’d find it hard to control the classes. Here, my English classes are much smaller, around fifteen students. M: Which do you like better?W: Well, I prefer smaller classes because it’s better for my English. I have a chance to talk more and discuss things in class, so my English has improved a lot.(Text 7)W: Hello, Tim. What’s up?M: I had a real disaster last night.W: Oh no. What happened?M: Well, I was preparing my presentation for today’s sales conference and my computer crashed. I’d nearly finished my PowerPoint slides, and my computer just closed down. It went completely dead. I’d lost my whole presentation.W: That’s terrible, Tim! So what did you do?M: Well, I explained the problem to my boss this morning, and he canceled the meeting. But he’s really not happy. I’ve got to see him now.W: I’m so sorry. Good luck.(Text 8)M: Ella, about the advertisement in the student magazine, have you found a suitable photo?W: I’ve got three possible photos here.M: Nice photos. Well, to my mind the one with the girls is better. It’s more modern. But teenagers these days are so different from when I was young. Can you tell me how modern teenagers have fun?W: Well, the way I see it, teenagers do the same things that they’ve always done. Maybe they use technology — you know, mobiles — but they still hang out with their friends, watch films, just like in the past.M: So what sort of advertisements do they like?W: Well, you have to bear in mind that they don’t like things that are childish.M: Yes, I see.W: So I think the black and white photo is the best. The main reason is that it appeals to teenagers.M: Well, in my opinion you’re right. Teenagers see thousands of images every day and this photo stands out.You don’t often see old-fashioned black and white photos of teenagers.(Text 9)W: Hello?M: Hello. I’m ringing about the advertisement for the bookcases. Are they still available?W: We still have two.M: Right. I’m looking for something to fit in my study. Can you tell me how wide each of them is?W: Yes, they’re both 75 cm wide and 180 cm high.M: OK ... And I don’t want anything that looks too serious … not metal or stone, for example. I was really looking for something made of wood.W: They are, both of them.M: So, are they the same price?W: No, the first bookcase is a bit cheaper. It’s just 15 dollars. We paid 60 dollars for it just five years ago.It’s yellow now, but you could easily change it.M: Yes, I’d probably paint it white if I got it. What about the second one?W: It’s light brown and 30 dollars.M: OK. I want both.(Text 10)Today, I’d like to tell you about a novel called Bend It Like Beckham. You may have watched the film which is a light-hearted comedy. The novel Bend It Like Beckham was written by Narinder Dhami after the release of the film in the previous year. It tells the story of Jess, the 18-year-old student, the daughter of Punjabi Sikhs living in London. Jess loves football and is a fan of David Beckham, but her parents forbid her to play because she is a girl and she can’t do that kind of thing. In spite of this, she secretly joins a local team, where she makes friends with Jules and falls in love with her coach, Joe. While Jess’s parents pay more attention to her sister’s wedding, Jess travels to Hamburg to take part in a tournament.Back in the U.K., the team reaches the final of the league but the match is due to take place on the same day as the wedding.Eventually, Jess persuades her father to let her play and she scores the winning goal. After the match, both Jess and Jules are offered football scholarships at universities in the U.S.The film, starring Parminder Nagra as Jess, Keira Knightley as Jules and Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Joe, was a surprise success.。

Physics and Chemistry are sciencebased subjects, which I think can equip us with knowledge of the mechanics of our world as well as scientific skills to unlock mysteries. On the other hand, History helps me have a better understanding of our roots, which is also where my interest lies.Anyway, I’m confident about my choice and hope everything goes well for you too.Yours,Li Hua 读后续写：Shocked, I wanted to hear more. Seized by eagerness and excitement, I leaned forward, inclining my ear to his lips. But there was a long silence. I tried to pretend not to be waiting though I knew Dad was struggling for his voice. We floated on the water, eyes fixed on the setting sun. Just after the sky put out its las t flicker of pink, my dad looked at me with a familiar expression. “Life… good.” The words came in a mumble, but I got them. Maybe because of his bright smile, or a rush of warm air, in that precious moment, I understood exactly what he meant.“Yes. Life is good.” I whispered back, pleting it for him. That was what he would always say before his stroke. Now Dad injected true meaning into the three simple words by refusing to let his sickness overshadow our life. I couldn’t imagine how tirelessly he had worked to recover what he had lost or to regain a fair amount of his speech. I could prehend now he had always been trying to inspire me to move forward in the face of the darkest times. I used to love the light for it showed me the way; yet now I appreciate the darkness for it shows me the stars.听力原文Text 1M: Hey, Lucy.

2023-2024学年浙江省宁波三锋教研联盟高二上学期期中联考英语试题

2023-2024学年浙江省宁波三锋教研联盟高二上学期期中联考英语试题As one of the world’s most ancient civilizations, China offers wonderful opportunities to explore wonderful relics from its rich past. Here is our pick of the best places to visit in China.A. Tiger Leaping Gorge — Best landscape to hikeOne of China’s most famous hiking places, this 22km trail winds through a World Heritage-listed gorge in Yunnan that is one of Asia’s most striking landscapes. Frame d by spectacular snow-capped mountains and the scenic Jinshajiang River, it is in depths of 3900m, making it one of the deepest gorges in the world.B. Zhangjiajie — Best dramatic landscapesRising dramatically from the subtropical forests of northwest Hunan, the peak rock formations of Zhangjiajie inspired the scenery in the film Avatar (2009). Take it all in as you walk over a glass-bottom suspension bridge floating 300m above ground. And if that’s not daring enough, you can bungee jump off it too!C. Shanghai — 22Elegant, historic and cosmopolitan —everything you’ve heard about Shanghai is true. Just take a walk through the French Concession or along the Bund and you’ll see for yourself. From the grand display of 1920s architecture and the city’s sophis ticated restaurants, Shanghai is past and future China brought to life.D. Mogao Grottoes, Dunhuang — Best Buddhist artSitting along the ancient Silk Road, Dunhuang is home to one of the world’s most important collections of Buddhist art. Among more than 490 Buddhist caves in the area, the mural ( 壁画 ) and statue-filled Mogao Grottoes represent perhaps the top of Buddhist artistry in China.1. What do Tiger Leaping Gorge and Zhangjiajie have in common?A．They are shot for films. B．They have hiking trails.C．They have splendid mountains. D．They have extreme sports.2. Which of the following can be filled in the line?A．Best city for past and future. B．Best dramatic landscapes.C．Best iconic sight in China. D．Best countryside scenery.3. What is special about Mogao Grottoes?A．It has the rarest collection of Buddhism. B．It is a religious place to visit.C．It has over 490 murals and caves. D．It owns sophisticated restaurants.In late 2020, Detroit resident Oleita posted a video on Facebook that explained how to make sleeping bags from used potato chips and other snack bags. She could help the city’s homeless people find warmth during cold winters while also giving a second life to chip bags, which aren’t easily recyclable and usually end up in the trash.Almost immediately after Oleita posted that first call for bags, people took notice. Local businesses offered to serve as collection points, and volunteers raised their hands to get involved.“We’re all humans who share this planet together, and it’s my d uty to make sure the person next to me has access to basic necessities,” says Oleita. “We have a major climate issue happening, and the people who are most influenced are those who are economically poor.”For most of the Chip Bag Project’s existence, Oleit a made sleeping bags all by herself. Now, she has some help. The group operates with a core team of 10 volunteers who do everything from making and delivering the bags to sourcing financial sponsors and doing community outreach.The road to success has its ups and downs. For a while, the Chip Bag Project operated out of a small space donated by a local business, and the team recently had to leave. Yet they’re not giving up. Instead, the team does everything — including production, back-end business tasks and equipment and supply storage.Oleita has served as a community organizer for the past decade, and she has experienced homelessness herself. She knew that this project needed to do more than just hand out sleeping bags. “This isn’t just a trash issue; it’s also a climate issue. And it’s not just a climate issue, but a human issue too. I’m always thinking of the world as interconnected — energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transferred.”4. What made Oleita want to help homeless people?A．Cold winter. B．Polluted environment.C．Personal experience. D．Social responsibility.5. What can we know about the project?A．It consists of ten people. B．It is facing low efficiency.C．It managed to run well.

But living figures ranging from Elon Musk to Billie Eilish are also available. You can even chat with popular cartoon characters or your favorite TV personality. Created by two former Google researchers, Character. AI is trying to build a new — more honest — chatbot. And, as a community-based site, people are able to create their own chatbot characters, each of which is linked back to their profile.This is certainly just the beginning of how chatbots will start being used in more interesting, innovative ways. These developments seem like positive steps forward at a time when schools are struggling with how to incorporate the technology into their classrooms so that students can converse with the figures they are learning about.8.

Don’t just call it laziness: After a long period of thinking hard, we tend to make decisions forrelaxing in the short term but are worse overall, which appears to be a biological tool to fight against cognitive fatigue (疲乏), according to a new study published Thursday in the journal Current Biology.“Influential theories suggested that fatigue, a feeling of being extremely tired, is a sort of illusion cooked up by the brain to make us stop whatever we are doing and turn to a more satisfying activity,” said study author Mathias Pessigl ione, Inserm research director at the Brain and Spine Institute in Paris. “Our findings show that cognitive work results in a true functional change, so fatigue would indeed be a signal that makes us stop working, but for a different purpose: to protect th e state of brain functioning.”In the study, 40 people were given either an easy or a hard task that involved telling letters on a screen for more than six hours. Each participant was then offered choices of either an immediately satisfying smaller reward that required less cognitive (认知的) control or one that was higher value in the longer term but involved more cognitive control. Participants who had to think harder for the six-hour task were more likely to take the smaller reward. The researchers found that the harder the participants thought, the higher their levels of glutamate (谷氨酸盐).After people spend long time thinking hard, the glutamate accumulation (积累) triggers a response in the brain, making it more difficult to use the prefrontal cortex, the area in the brain that allows us to control our thoughts, so that we make choices that are more impulsive (冲动的) than strategic.If you are about to make an important decision, it’s important to make sure you aren’t too tired, said study author Antonius Wiehler, a cognitive neuroscientist and postdoctoral researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. But bad news is: It may also be difficult for people to accurately evaluate how fatigued they actually are.12. What’s the role of fatigue in Paragraph 2?A．It prevents us from cheering up. B．It is a biological controller.C．It allows brains to function properly. D．It makes us stop working.13. What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning the experiment in Paragraph 3?A．To explain a rule. B．To make a comparison.C．To present a fact. D．To clarify a concept.14. What does “triggers” underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Activate. B．Drive. C．Improve. D．Promote.15. What’s the text mainly about?A．Fatigue results in damaging effects and keeps us lazier.B．Our body helps us find a better way to deal with fatigue.C．We may make worse choices after a day of hard thinking.D．It’s easier to make strategic decisions after thinking for a long time.Getting a cut or a color in a salon can be a transformative experience.

He and his crew ended up creating 4,000 of them. Now he makes giant trolls（巨怪）. So far, 59 trolls can be found at locations all around the world.His creations are made entirely from items people have thrown away, such as discarded wooden pallets, old fencing, and broken sheds. It’s important to him that he doesn’t add to the growing landfills（垃圾填埋场） on our planet. He thinks of discarded items as art supplies and a source of inspiration.As a kid, Thomas wanted to build all sorts of things, from a skateboard ramp（坡道） to a tree house in his backyard. He had lots of energy and creativity. The problem was that a kid doesn’t have the money to purchase supplies. He started to bike around the neighborhood looking for discarded wood, rope, and other items to create things.In 7th grade, a girl in his class gave him a good piece of advice. She told him that he should take a different route each day to experience something new. Thomas took her idea and learned all about his city of Copenhagen, Denmark.Today, Thomas still uses this idea of taking different routes as he searches for trash left out on curbs. Items such as wire, ropes, wooden pallets, metal, old chair rollers, and plastic containers are just waiting for him to think of a way to use them. If the items are small, he uses “Tingfinder,” his bicycle with a cart attached, to take home his “treasures”. He uses a truck for the larger items.“My advice is to think about what you really love to do and let that guide you. Keep moving in the direction you’d like to go.” said Thomas.4. Why does Thomas prefer to use discarded items for his art?A．They are cheaper than new materials. B．They are more useful and attractive.C．He wants to reduce waste. D．He can find them more easily.5. What advice did a girl in Thomas’s class give?A．Save money by using second-hand supplies. B．Explore new paths to discover something fresh.C．Focus on different ways to create things. D．Learn about his city before starting anyproject.6. Which words can best describe Thomas?A．Adventurous and curious. B．Childish but imaginative.C．Changeable but hard-working. D．Responsible and creative.7. What may be the best title for the passage?A．Sculpture: a unique hobby B．Trolls: a childhood dreamC．Recycling: a creative journey D．Bicycling: an inspiring sportGovernments should stop the use of biofuels （生物燃料） and lift bans on genetically modified （GM转基因） crops, a green campaigning group has urged, in the face of a growing global food crisis that threatens the developing nations.The EU, the US and the UK are among countries that use biofuels compulsorily（强制地）, usually mixed with petrol fuel, for road vehicles. But much of the biofuel used comes from food crops. The World Food Programme has warned that the rising prices of these food, which have been driven by a combination of the Covid pandemic, climate breakdown and the war in Ukraine, is generating a food crisis worldwide.In the UK, the renewable transport Fuel Obligation requires about 10% of the fuels supplied by fossil fuel companies to be “sustainable”, which in effect means biofuels. However, the amount that can come from food crops is at 4% at most, and will be reduced further to 2% in 2032. A UK government spokesperson said: “biofuels, and other renewable fuels, will continue playing an important part in helping to decarbonize transport and meet our climate goals. However, to help address the global food price crisis, we continue to promote biofuels from waste and are reducing the percentag e of crop based biofuels that count towards supplier targets.”RePlanet says that although the original reason for biofuels was as a lower carbon alternative to fossil fuels, in fact, owing to the impact on food, the fertilizer and energy used to produce the grains and oils and the land converted（转化） to agriculture to produce biofuels, there is little carbon saving over fossil fuels. RePlanet also argues that rich countries should eat less meat to free up grain, and that preventions on the genetic modification of crops should be lifted to achieve higher yields.In another recommendation likely to be effective, the report suggests that the EU’s organic targets should also be deserted in favour of conventional and intensive farming techniques for higher produc tivity. Karolina Lisslö Gylfe, the secretary general of RePlanet, said: “If Europe doesn’t look at finding evidence-based solutions, the outcome will be worse for the world’s poor, for the climate and for nature conservation.”8. What has possibly led to a global food crisis according to the passage?A．The overconsumption of food.B．The use of biofuels in transport.C．The promotion of biofuels from waste.D．The lifting of bans on genetically modified crops.9. What can be conveyed in para 4?A．Biofuels are high-effective. B．Biofuels are environmental-friendly.C．Biofuels are high-priced. D．Biofuels are energy-consuming.10. How can rich countries relieve food crisis?A．By increasing meat demand. B．By farming more traditionally.C．By investing more in organic farming. D．By stopping the production of GM crops.11. What’s the text mainly about?A．The popularity of biofuels. B．The disadvantages of fossil fuels.C．The strategies to fight food crisis. D．The potential of intensive farming.To appreciate that some questions are better than others, it helps to consider a few examples of questions that are bad. To find them, try playing Twenty Questions with a young child. In trying to guess an animal, a young child might ask: Is it a koala? Is it an elephant? （Not: Is it a mammal? Does it live in Africa?）These are bad questions in the sense that they’re unlikely to supply an efficient solution to the problem of discovering the animal.In the simplified world of Twenty Questions, it’s relatively easy to eval uate what makes a question good or bad. Unfortunately, producing good questions in the real world is often a more complicated affair.For one thing, we don’t always have a single, accurate goal. When we do have some practical goal, being clear about what it is can be a first step towards asking better questions. An article for business people, for example, suggests that in asking questions, it’s important to figure out whether you’ re hoping to confirm what you think you know or to discover something new.But when our aim isn’t to achieve some practical goal, things become murkier still. What, for example, is a good question for basic science? What kind of question promotes self-discovery or insight? And how can we learn to ask better questions in cases like these?Scientist David Stork suggests that just as we teach problem solving, we should teach “question posing”— the art of asking good questions, the questions that lead to further insight and discovery. Asking big, bold, exploratory questions isn’t alwa ys rewarded in adulthood. From preschool to high school, children move away from questions motivated by natural curiosity to those motivated by potential applications. Rather than “performing an act of curiosity”, they’re often after the solution to some practical problem.A first step towards asking better questions, then, might be to recognize the intellectual contribution of a question well raised, not just a question well answered. And we might do well to regain some of the youthful curiosity of young c hildren’s questions — not necessarily by asking about koalas and elephants, but by letting some of our questions be guided by our basic curiosity, not only by our immediate goals.12. Why are a young child’s questions about animals considered “bad”?A．They don’t contribute to working out the answer.B．They are not motivated by curiosity.C．They are based on guesses rather than practical goals.D．They are simple to answer.13. What may be a suggested way for people to ask questions?A．Pay more attention to the answers. B．Raise as complex questions as possible.C．Figure out the objectives clearly. D．Consider more potential applications.14. Which does the underlined word “murkier” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．more available. B．more understandable.C．more unreliable. D．more confusing.15. What’s the author’s attitude to the change of the way children ask questions?A．Disapproving. B．Favorable. C．Doubtful. D．Reserved. Whether it’s studying for exams or struggling with an essay, we’ve all been under enormous stress at some point. When it gets a bit overwhelming, we can reach a level of exhaustion that is unbearable — the dreaded burnout. 16 .According to ‘Psychology Today’, burnout isn’t just caused by working long hours; it is more about prolonged or repeated exposure to a stressful situation. The result can be feelings of cynicism（愤世嫉俗） and depression. A feeling of loss of control can create a conflict with the sense of self, which can lead to burnout. 17 . Unexpectedly, this means that trying to be more efficient can result in a reduction in our productivity.But what can we do to avoid the evils of burnout? Well, there are some tips that may help you. 18 .A feeling that the task is achievable and that you are capable of succeeding means that a difficult task might be less struggling.Finding ways to express your creative side may help. Not everyone has creative aspects to their jobs, and, therefore, they need to find other outlets. 19 . All of this may help to separate them from the overwhelming stress that may exist in their working life.20 . The consequence is that you are surrounded by a cleaner and more positive environment. This, in turn, leads to another tip, which is to have healthy and positive thoughts. Having a positive mental attitude towards everything you do means that you may feel more capable as well.In general, burnout has psychological effects that can impact heavily on your work and life. Taking steps to avoid burning out can benefit not just us, but our bosses and families.I am a resource officer at a school district. Last year I ______ one little boy, to whom my heart just went out. He would engage with me every single day wearing a smile. ______ his struggle with severe stuttering（口吃） when he spoke, he possessed a ______ for sharing big tales.One morning, while I was talking to a couple ______ the school store, he ______ and greeted us warmly as he often did. They mentioned that he made it a point to visit them daily after he left.______, he never has money to purchase anything.Upon hearing this, I ______ myself to bringing a spark of joy into his life. I selected a pencil, a ruler, and a notebook— simple items that ______ cost just one dollar. The kids were all out at recess （课间）, so when he came back in, we pulled him aside for a（n） ______.I cannot ______ the look on his face when I gave him just these little things. Without any ______ ofa stutter, he said loudly, “Thank you so much!” And his repeated expressions of thanks were ______ by a tender hug before he went off to class.I was teared up, just watching someone appreciate something that much. As he walked off, he was showing his new ______ to another kid. In that instant, it became evident that this single dollar, invested in kindness and understanding, held ______ value. This experience truly ______ my sense of purpose and left a lasting mark on my soul.21.A．received B．encountered C．contacted D．approached22.A．Beyond B．Except C．Unlike D．Despite23.A．reason B．need C．passion D．trick24.A．occupying B．maintaining C．running D．renting25.A．stopped by B．stood by C．walked around D．turned back26.A．Indeed B．Instead C．Nevertheless D．Otherwise27.A．committed B．addicted C．devoted D．applied28.A．totally B．completely C．partly D．separately29.A．mystery B．explanation C．lecture D．surprise30.A．interpret B．describe C．detect D．predict31.A．limit B．clue C．worry D．sign32.A．accompanied B．replaced C．surrounded D．attracted33.A．properties B．treasures C．fortunes D．rewards34.A．worthless B．incredible C．pointless D．identical35.A．stuck to B．reacted to C．appealed to D．related to阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

浙江省部分学校2021-2022学年高二上学期期中联考英语解析版试卷汇编七选五专题浙江省温州新力量联盟2021-2022学年高二上学期期中联考英语试题（解析版）二、七选五Ways to protect eyes from screensToo much screen time may cause serious eye strain (眼疲劳）and even a sharp decline of eyesight. That's a big problem a lot of people are faced with nowadays, especially those who work on a computer. The following tips may be helpful.Get regular eye testsExperts recommend having a comprehensive eye exam every year to detect (探测）problems before they develop. During this test, you should tell the doctor how often you use your phone and your computer. ____11____ Tell your doctor about it, and your eyes can be tested more accurately at that distance.Give your eyes spaceThe closer your phone/computer screen is to your eyes, the harder they have to work to focus.____12____ If this makes it hard for you to read, consider increasing the size of the text rather than moving the screen closer.Take breaksThis may not always be practical if you're quite busy，but it's important not to stare directly at a screen for too long. ____13____ While surveys have shown that many office workers take no more than half an hour a day away from their computer, it's recommended that you take a15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen.____14____Staring at a screen continuously for hours on end may make it difficult for you to focus. To avoid this, many eye experts recommend the “20-20-20 rule”---looking away from yourphone/computer screen every 20 minutes and focusing on an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. The science behind his trick is that looking at objects at a distance relaxes the focusing muscle in the eye. ____15____A．Exercise your eyes.B．Give your eyes a chance to rest.C．Make your screen more eye-friendly.D．Studies show it’s an effective way to reduce tiredness.E．You should also measure the distance from your eyes to your screen at work.F．Make sure that you use your phone or computer in a room where the lighting is bright enough. G．Studies on eye strain suggest that computer screens should be no closer than 40 cm from your face.浙江省温州十校联合体2021-2022学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题（解析版）二、七选五Napping is a common habit for many of us. ___11___For example, it can improve memory and creativity. However, it can also have negative effects if done in the wrong way.The ideal nap length, according to scientists, is 20 to 25 minutes. Any longer and you'll fall into a deeper sleep cycle, which lasts for about 90 minutes. ___12___There is a term for this short, effective nap: a power nap. It is a short sleep of 20 minutes or less which ends before the occurrence of deep slow-wave sleep, intended to quickly refresh the napper.___13___Salvador Dali outlined tips for the one-second micro-nap, including sitting upright, key in hand and upturned plate beneath. Once asleep, the key will drop and the ensuing clang ensures instant revival. ___14___Exceptions to this include essential naps when sick, which are often longer because our bodies require more sleep when dealing with an illness. ___15___This is because children have a higher sleep requirement than adults.A．In fact, many celebrities in history are power nappers.B．Napping brings us both positive and negative effects.C．Take a nap between 1:00 and 2:30 instead of 3:00 or 4:00 p. m.D．Albert Einstein deployed a similar technique, using a pencil instead of a key.E．Napping has many benefits.F．Also, fulfillment naps in children should not be limited to 20 minutes.G．This means when you wake up you will experience “sleep inertia” (睡眠惰性) .浙江省台州市“十校联盟”2021-2022学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题（解析版）二、七选五If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact.____11____ When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. ____12____ One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. ____13____ But all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means — practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memoriesthan those who can? ____14____ It's because those who cannot read or write have to remember things. They cannot write them down in a little notebook and they have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time____15____A．Why is this?B．What do you think of it?C．Someone else says that he is poor in health.D．The position is exactly the same as that of two people.E．So if you want a good memory, practice remembering.F．Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever.G．Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.浙江省宁波金兰教育合作组织2021-2022学年高二年级上学期期中联考英语试题（解析版）二、七选五You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. ____11____ “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as "they" are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.____12____They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. ____13____They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others — and even themselves — to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. ____14____In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our the One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. ____15____ He may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.A．Another with the same experience may choose to be a creator.B．Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.C．Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter.D．One's experiences determine his attitude toward life.E．These who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.F．Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.G．“They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering.浙江省七彩阳光新高考研究联盟2021-2022学年高二上学期期中英语试题（解析版）二、七选五As the world enters the second year of the pandemic (疫情), two crises are unfolding. The more urgent and visible one is in poor countries like India, where an increase of covid-19 cases is threatening to overwhelm the state. India is recording more than 350,000 cases a day, and many more than that are thought to be going undetected. ____11____ Oxygen supplies at Indian hospitals are running far short of what is needed, causing numerous deaths.____12____ That is long covid (新冠后遗症），which is becoming apparent in rich countries like America, Britain, and Israel that have largely vaccinated their way out of the pandemic, but which will affect poor ones, too.

浙江省浙南名校联盟2024-2025学年高二上学期期中联考英语试题一、阅读理解Roald Dahl wrote lots of books for both children and adults, and lots of people say that he is their favourite children’s author. We’ve compiled a list of our favourite Roald Dahl books foryou.James And The Giant PeachAfter his parents are killed by a rhinoceros, four-year-old James is forced to live with his horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. After years of being treated as a slave by them (and being forced to sleep on the floor), James accidentally creates a giant peach, in which he escapes and flies around the world. For company, he has a gang of giant talking insects to chat to.The TwitsQuite possibly the most horrible couple ever, this book tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Twit and the horrible tricks they play on each other. Roald Dahl hated beards, so it’s no wonder that Mr. Twit’s beard is full of disgusting stuff including sardine (沙丁鱼) tails, and tomato sauce, sprouts of old vegetables, pieces of cornflakes, foul and smelly cheese, squashed flies and bits of eggs and bacon! Don’t worry, his wife is equally horrible!Fantastic Mr. FoxFarmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean are determined to catch Mr. Fox, and this is the story of how they try to trap him by digging him out as he tunnels for food for his family. But the farmers seem to forget that foxes are known to be smart for good reason.MatildaFive-year-old Matilda is a genius who loves books and reading — but unfortunately for her, her parents like watching TV and tricking people and they have no idea how clever she is. It’s all made worse by her horrible headmaster Miss Trunchbull, who likes swinging children by their hair and throwing them out of the window. But when Matilda discovers she has supernatural powers, the fun begins!1．If Jim has a preference for stories about wise animals, which book would you recommend?A．Matilda.B．The Twits.C．Fantastic Mr. Fox.D．James And The Giant Peach.2．What do James And The Giant Peach and Matilda have in common?A．Both characters are kindly adopted.B．Both characters have special powers.C．Both characters enjoy reading and insects.D．Both characters live with horrible relatives.3．In which column of a magazine can you find the passage?A．Literature Salon.B．Fashion Trends.C．Cooking Delights.D．Technology Today.BLACK MYTH: WUKONG, China’s first AAA video game, has proved a big success. Within an hour of its release on August 20, the game rose to the top of the global chart on Steam, a leading gaming platform. Over 2.2 million active players were recorded at its peak.Adapted from the Chinese classic Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong recreates the story of its most beloved character. What sets the game apart is its stunning graphics, immersive game play and its deep connection with traditional culture. Players not only enjoy the game for its combat (打斗) and storyline but also for its fine recreation of historical sites. “The ancient buildings in the game are well integrated with the storyline. I’m planning to visit the filming locations soon to experience the cultural heritage first hand,” said a player from Beijing. In addition to artistic illustrations, the game developers used 3D scanning technology to recreate these ancient wonders. This allows for a more lifelike insight into China’s architectural past.The game’s impact reaches beyond the virtual world, though. An interest in ancient architecture has grown among young people. In response, Shanxi Province, one of the game’s key filming locations, is actively promoting its rich cultural resources to meet the growing demand. Known as the “treasure of ancient Chinese architecture,” Shanxi is home to 531 nationally protected cultural heritage sites. They make up 10.5 percent of China’s total, the highest in the nation. Among 36 filming locations of Black Myth: Wukong, 27 are located in Shanxi. “We’ve received oceans of visitors a day since July, a threefold increase year on year (同比),” said Liu Xiaogang, the director of the scenic area. Most of the visitors are fans of the popular game who have traveled long distances to the location, he added. On the day of the game’s release, tourism interest in Shanxi reportedly doubled compared to the previous month.To capitalize on this trend, Shanxi quickly rolled out an ancient architecture tour on August 22, Besides the “Follow Wukong Through Shanxi” route map, it has also developed a variety ofcultural products.4．What distinguishes “Black Myth: Wukong” from other games?A．It is the most successful game.B．It employs advanced technology.C．It features attractive characters.D．It is integrated with traditional culture.5．How does the author show the game’s impact on tourism?A．Using statistics.B．Giving a definition.C．Listing examples.D．Making a comparison.6．What does the phrase “capitalize on” mean in the last paragraph mean?A．Take advantage of.B．Make money from.C．Catch up with.D．Catch on.7．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A．The game sparked interest in ancient Chinese literature.B．The government launched measures to promote tourism.C．Tourism interest doubled in Shanxi compared to last year.D．Most protected cultural heritage sites are located in Shanxi.Do you know that the human brain doesn’t reach full maturity (成熟) until people are in their mid-20s? Brains develop our emotions first and our capacity for reasoning second.Before the age of about 25, the brain relies heavily on the limbic system (大脑边缘系统), which is responsible for emotional responses, while the logical, decision-making part (known as the prefrontal cortex) is still in the process of developing. It’s not that the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) doesn’t function at all for the first 25 years of life — rather, that it’s a work in progress.To understand how the mind works, it can be useful to know the roles that these two parts of the brain play. The limbic system processes sensory information — everything you see, smell, touch, taste, hear. When you sense danger, this translates to fear and will likely lead to action. It’s also the part of the brain involved in seeking out rewards and new experiences, which might be found through spending time with friends or doing exciting activities. Meanwhile, some of the important roles of the prefrontal cortex are to plan ahead, control impulsive (易冲动的)behaviours, and drive social interaction and self-awareness. It might be helpful to think of the limbic system as the accelerator and the prefrontal cortex as the brakes.Having a fully functioning accelerator when your brakes don’t quite work yet might seem like a recipe for disaster — and sometimes it can be. But your brain is evolving in this way for a good reason: to allow you to adapt to your environment. Scientists call this plasticity (可塑性). This special quality is what makes the teen years the best time to keep your options open, learn new skills, and to prepare for the future. In evolutionary terms, it’s extremely beneficial, but can also come with some challenges.Understanding more about the inner workings of the brain at different life stages can help you to better respond, communicate, and seek support when it’s needed. Plus, it can teach you to be nicer to yourself and let go of mistakes. It’s worth remembering that not everything you do is a fully conscious decision — some of it is heavily influenced by the way your developing brain works.8．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．To set the background.B．To present a discovery.C．To introduce the topic.D．To express the purpose.9．What is more likely to occur in teenagers and young adults?A．Higher levels of self-control.B．Afore frequent impulsive behaviors.C．More cautious risk assessment.D．Stronger long-term planning abilities. 10．Which of the following can you infer from the passage?A．The prefrontal cortex doesn’t function for the first 25 years.B．The limbic system develops later than the prefrontal cortex.C．Sensory information is closely related to the prefrontal cortex.D．Immature decisions are acceptable during developmental years.11．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?A．Benefits of delayed brain maturation.B．Biological basis of adolescent risk-taking.C．Emotional Functions of the limbic system.D．Value of understanding brain development.Despite ChatGPT positioning itself as a productivity booster for workers, two recent studies show that women use it 16 to 20 percentage points less than men, even when employed in the same jobs or fields. This indicates that not everyone has embraced the technology.A study by researchers from the University of Chicago and the University of Copenhagen surveyed 100,000 Danish workers across 11 professions on their usage of ChatGPT, relating responses with personal data like income and education. The results indicated that women less tended to use ChatGPT compared to men in the same fields For instance, while about one-third of female teachers employed ChatGPT, this number rose to half among males. Even within the same companies performing similar tasks, a 16 percentage point difference was observed. This gap suggests that a lack of confidence among women, who reported the need for training, might contribute to lower adoption rates.Another potential explanation comes from research by researchers at Aalto University and the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). It revealed a gender imbalance in ChatGPT usage among students, with female students in NHH’s undergraduate program being 18 percentage points less likely to use it frequently. This trend was particularly evident among mid-to-high-performing women. Follow-up questions indicated that high-achieving women would self-enforce restrictions, suggesting a ‘good girl’ behavior where they prefer to accomplish tasks independently without shortcuts. Low performers were almost as likely as men to use the technology.A lack of AI experience can be costly when entering the job market. Researchers surveyed 1,143 hiring managers and found that they value high-performing women with AI skills 8% more than those without. This advantage does not apply to men, indicating rewards for women who relax their self-imposed bans,Tera Allas from McKinsey warns that Al, chiefly used by men, might eventually tailor more for them, potentially shutting women out in the long term. However, Danielle Li of MIT notes these studies don’t prove if men’s ChatGPT use results in better or more productive work. Currently, she suggests, the technology might just be a digital toy, and high-achieving women might excel at avoiding distractions.12．What do we know about the studies mentioned in the first two paragraphs?A．Less than 16% females use AI to teach.B．Everyone does not welcome AI technology.C．Males use AI for work 50% more than females.D．People from 11 different countries are interviewed.13．Which may contribute to the lower adoption rate of ChatGPT among women?A．Self-set limits.B．Workplace gender inequality.C．Digital skills gap.D．Insufficient technology access.14．What is true according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．Current ChatGPT usage improves productivity.B．Women without AI experience are valued equally.C．Women may be excluded if not adopting technology.D．Hiring managers don’t consider AI skills when evaluating.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．ChatGPT usage varies between genders.B．ChatGPT is effective in boosting productivity.C．Hiring managers value AI skills in candidates.D．High-achieving women avoid using ChatGPT.Overthinking can trap you in a cycle of worry and doubt, making decisions feel impossible.16 Below are three strategies to help you break free and start living the life you deserve.Limit the Time You Spend on DecisionsOne of the main causes of overthinking is the fear of making the wrong decision, which often leads to hours, days, or even weeks of indecision. To counter this, give yourself a time limit to make decisions. By imposing a time limit, you force your brain to focus on what truly matters.17Overthinking, driven by worries about the past or future, pulls you from the present and increases stress. Mindfulness is a powerful solution to overthinking because it settles you in the here and now. When falling into a cycle of overthinking, pause and take a few deep breaths. 18 These simple practices bring you back to the present and help interrupt the cycle of overthinking.Take Action to Break the CycleOverthinking leads to inaction, fueling more overthinking. One of the most effective waysto disrupt this cycle is to take immediate action, no matter how small. Action breeds progress, and progress helps quiet the overthinking mind. Taking action also builds confidence. 19 This realization can significantly reduce the need to overthink as you learn to trust your ability to adapt and respond in real time.Overthinking is a trap, but it’s one you can escape. By limiting your time on decisions, practicing mindfulness, and taking action, you can break free from the mental chatter holding you back. 20A．Practice mindfulness to ground yourself.B．Embrace relaxation through mindfulness.C．Life is happening right now — don’t let overthinking make you miss it.D．The more you act, the more you realize you can handle whatever comes your way. E．However, the good news is that overthinking is a natural tendency, and it is here to stay. F．Focus on your breath, the sensation of your feet on the ground, or the sounds around you. G．However, the good news is that overthinking is a habit, and like any habit, it can be broken.二、完形填空When I was a young boy, our home was located near a public swimming pool. During the summer months, I developed a daily 21 of swimming and playing there for countless hours.

Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋) — these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family.Most of their trips seem far from relaxing — cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six- day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and avoid pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.”However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages,cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.4．How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips?A．Pleasant.B．Relaxing C．Challenging.D．Dangerous. 5．What does the underlined word “inconsistent” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Distinct.B．Apparent.C．Remarkable.D．Efficient. 6．What problem does the family meet when traveling?A．They suffer from a tight budget.B．They miss some lessons and exams.C．They hold different educational ideas.D．They are faced with language barriers.7．Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the last paragraph?A．Actions speak louder than words.B．Toughness is the best assistant of will.C．Man who travels far knows more.D．There is no royal road to learning.In a classroom in rural Kenya’ s Rift Valley, a student, Priscilla Sitienei, takes notes alongside her fellow classmates. She wears the same school uniform. However, there is something different.Sitienei is more than 80 years older than them. February 11 was Sitienei’s ninety-ninth birthday. “The main reason for my returning to school was that I would like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife,” she said. She added that her children supported her decision.Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began helping to pay for the cost of primary schooling. This has allowed some older members of society, who had missed out on education in their younger days, to go back to school.This has given Sitienei more than an education. She has become a film star. Sitienei travelled to Paris last year for the launch of a film about her journey. It is titled Gogo, which means grandmother in her native Kalenjin language. She will also be heading to New York City soon for a showing of the film there.Sitienei is in her sixth year of primary school. She said her aims were far more practical than becoming a movie star. She said, “I also enjoy school activities, including physical educationclasses. They keep me fit. I get to jump around, even though not as much as they do, but I at least move my body. That is my joy.”Sitienei shares her wide experience and knowledge with the children. Her teachers also use her experience to keep the peace during lessons. Her class teacher, Leonida Talaam, said, “I use Sitienei to help control the class. And it works! When I go outside, the class remains silent.”8．Why does Sitienei go to school at such an old age?A．To inspire others.B．To return to society.C．To take up a new career.D．To help teachers control the class.9．Why will Sitienei go to New York City?A．Her movie will come out there.B．She wants to keep fit.C．She wants to meet her grandma.D．She wants to learn the native language. 10．Which of the following best describes Sitienei?A．Dependent and friendly.B．Creative and warm-hearted.C．Honest and humorous.D．Energetic and ambitious.11．How does Sitienei help her teachers control the class?A．Speak loudly to keep order in class.B．Organize school activities to work out.C．Stop the students from going out.D．Inspire the students to obey the rules.Artificial intelligence becoming self-aware and exterminating (消灭) the human race is a common theme in science fiction. But the levels of high intelligence that AI could reach is a real concern among some scientists. But with more talk of AI and smart devices in the home, what are the positives of bringing these things into your life?Hans Rosling, a professor of international health, once spoke about the impact and changes that the washing machine made. The once tough task of cleaning clothes by hand was taken on by a machine and freed up more time for other activities. There are so many smart devices that you can fill your home with. Imagine waking up to find a piping hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee, spotless floors that have been recently cleaned and the house set to the perfect temperature. With smart devices, these things can happen while you sleep. The potential to pre-program andautomate parts of your life means that you can focus on other tasks in your life.But there is a difference between smart devices and AI. Smart devices are the things that get on with the tasks, while AI can ‘think’ or interact, and can be used to control the smart devices. There are many voice-activated AI systems which can control the smart devices around your home. You can ask these devices to start making coffee, dim the lights when they’ re too bright or even make sure the house is secure. You can inquire as to the weather outside, ask them to play music or search the internet for you when you have a burning question about history or the latest cooking recipes. Some of these devices even have a sense of humour, and upon asking them certain questions, they will retort (反驳). In short, in some ways, they can act as company.But how far will it go? Well, we already have self- driving cars and sentient tech that can automatically order the delivery of certain products to restock our fridge when we’ re running low, but often in films and games we see humanoid robots taking over all of the domestic duties. It seems for now, that those things only live in our imaginations, but we could be seeing them sooner than we think.12．What concerns some scientists about AI?A．It will reach high levels.B．It will retort when asked.C．It will take over the earth.D．It will live in imaginations.13．What is the difference between smart devices and AI?A．AI systems get on with tasks.B．Smart devices can control AI system.C．Smart devices can be controlled by voice.D．AI implies a level of thinking or interaction.14．What’s the writer’s attitude to the future of AI?A．Objective.B．Hopeful.C．Doubtful.D．Indifferent. 15．What can be the best title for the passage?A．The Future of AI and Smart DevicesB．The Wonders of Smart Devices and AIC．AI and Smart Devices: Changing Our LivesD．Benefits of AI and Smart Devices in Daily LifeImproving job satisfactionJob satisfaction is important for living a stress free life as we spend most of our time at workplace. 16 For most people lack of job satisfaction usually depends on certain factors such as poor job profile, poor salary raise, slow career advancement, poor organizational culture etc. Here are some tips to help you improve your job satisfaction.Find out the reasonsIn order to get job satisfaction, you will have to identify which factor is contributing to your lack of job satisfaction firstly. So reflect on this, and also know what attracted you to this job as this will help you to better understand why job satisfaction lacks. 17Develop positive attitudeHaving done this background work, you can now start working towards improving job satisfaction. 18 Identify certain positive factors in your job profile and focus on those to start with. This will make you to fall in love with your work. Don’t just look at your work as a source of income but have involvement in it.Take challengesMost of us like challenges, so take up a challenge like volunteering yourself for a new project. Give your 100% to the project. Work hard but take a few short breaks for refreshing yourself. 19 Try your hands on second one and work more hard. Focus on quality of work. Quality of the work is of utmost importance as it reflects on your capability.20It is very important how you get along with people around you including your supervisor, co- workers and others.

Also, show an interest and inclination to help your co-worker and support your supervisor for attaining your team’s goal.A．Deal with people at work placeB．Be in the company of positive colleaguesC．The first step towards this is to develop positive attitude.D．Also, knowing your job well will help you to perform well.E．Don’t get discouraged if the project doesn’t turn out to be as you expected.F．Also, make it a point to thank your supervisor or a co-worker for their help or encouragement to you.G．You realise you are not satisfied with your job when you drag your feet to workplace every Monday.二、完形填空The Unlikely FriendshipIn the heart of the city stood an old library, a place where time seemed to slow down. Among its many visitors was a young girl named Lily, who frequently spent her afternoons there, 21 in the pages of books. One day, she noticed a man sitting quietly in a corner, surrounded by stacks of books. His name was Mr. Thompson, a retired professor who had a 22 for literature and history.Lily was attracted by the man’s presence, but soon she found herself drawn to the same corner every day. Mr. Thompson, 23 her curiosity, began to share stories from the books he was reading. Lily listened intently, fascinated by the tales of ancient civilizations and heroic deeds. Their conversations became a major part of her visits, and before long, a friendship began to grow. 24 their age difference, they discovered that they shared a love for knowledge and a desire to understand the world. Mr. Thompson taught Lily about the 25 of exploration and how it could open doors to new experiences.As weeks turned into months, Lily’s visits to the library became less 26 due to school comments. Feeling the absence of their friend, Mr. Thompson decided to write her letters, sharing interesting facts and insights he 27 in his readings.

When summer arrived, Lily returned to the library more regularly. She was surprised to find Mr. Thompson waiting for her with a 29 gift — a first edition of one of her favorite books. 30 by the gesture, Lily realized that their friendship had grown beyond the walls of the library. She decided to introduce Mr. Thompson to her family, introducing him to a world outside of books that was filled with laughter and 31 . Mr. Thompson,in turn, was delighted to be welcomed into Lily’s family. He began to 32 them on outings, sharing his vast knowledge and enriching their experiences with historical context and cultural insights. Their bond deepened, and they both found that friendship wasn’t limited to the pages of books but could be found in the connections we make with others.As years passed, Lily grew older and moved away to pursue her dreams. But she never forgot the 33 she learned from her unlikely friend.Whenever she felt lost or uncertain, she would remember Mr. Thompson’s words of wisdom and find the 34 to move forward. And whenever she visited her hometown, she would make sure to stop by the library, hoping to find Mr. Thompson sitting quietly in his corner, ready to share another story. Their friendship had taught a lifelong lesson: that the most meaningful connections can come from the most 35 places.21．A．lost B．curious C．quiet D．eager 22．A．delight B．interest C．passion D．relief 23．A．monitoring B．Learning C．noticing D．missing 24．A．Because B．Despite C．Unless D．Though 25．A．responsibility B．ability C．significance D．wisdom 26．A．frequent B．direct C．patient D．quick 27．A．came down B．came across C．came back D．came up 28．A．joyful B．powerful C．hopeful D．stressful 29．A．special B．small C．delicious D．friendly 30．A．Delighted B．Touched C．Ashamed D．Worried 31．A．adventure B．power C．hardship D．warmth 32．A．wait B．accompany C．approach D．leave 33．A．lessons B．entrance C．service D．guide 34．A．experience B．honesty C．permission D．strength 35．A．pleased B．ignored C．unexpected D．delighted三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(伤害) their memory, because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. That’s according to new research by Fairfield University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(损害) affect”.“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(减弱) a visitor’s memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(数量) of detail(细节) they remembered was worse than those who didn’t take photos. “These results show how the mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same,” said Henkel.But don’t put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinki ng of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera?1．（小题1）When we take photos, we _________.A．fail to focus on the event itselfB．can’t record the detailsC．remember what we have seenD．are likely to have a poor memory2．（小题2）Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment?A．People who didn’t take photos did better in the experiment.B．They asked a group to try to remember what they had seen.C．The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.D．People who took photos in the museum could remember less details.3．（小题3）Accor ding to the passage, we’d better _________.A．never use our camerasB．remember an event by heartC．always remember an event with the help of a cameraD．see everything only with our own eyes4．（小题4）What do the results of the experiment show us?A．The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same.B．People remember happiest moments by taking photos.C．Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event.D．People don’t like taking photos.5．（小题5）Where can we probably read this passage?A．The entrance of a museum.B．A guidebook on how to take good pictures.C．An instruction of how to use a camera.D．A scientific report.B14、Teenagers who turn off the TV and sit down to family meals are less likely to suffer eating disorders(失调).A study has connected eating together with lower rates of bulimia(暴食症) and anorexia(厌食症). Teens used to eating around the table are less likely to take up smoking to lose weight.Researcher Barbara said, “The common belief is that teens don’t want to be around their parents very muc h, and that teens are just too busy to have regular meals with the family.”The study shows happy families have teenagers who eat with their parents often. These teens have less bad diet or dangerous eating habits.“Parents may not be able to get their fam ily together around the table seven days a week, but if they can prepare three family meals a week, this will have a big i mpact on the health of teens,” Professor Fiese spoke out after reviewing 17 studies on eating ways and nutrition(营养) of almost 200,000 children and teenagers.She found that teens who eat at least five meals a week with their families are 35% less likely t o be “disordered eaters”. The definition(定义) of disordered eating is eating too much, or eating at wrong times too often or eating very little and smoking to lose weight.Even three family meals a week helped, with youngsters 12% less likely to be overweight than those who ate with their family less often.Teens can also use family meals as a time to_____________They were also 24% more likely to eat healthy foods and have healthy eating habits than those who didn’t share three meals with their family.Profe ssor Fiese said, “Family meals give them a place where they can go regularly to check in with their parents and express themselves freely.”In the past American research found children who miss out on family meals are much more likely to fight at school, drink and take drugs(毒品).根据材料内容选择最佳答案，将其标号填入题前括号内。

Besides reading news, watching films and TV series may help you better understand them. Here are the three choices for you.ContagionA deadly virus spreads rapidly and kills people within days of showing symptoms. As the fast-moving pandemic grows, the worldwide medical community works to find a cure.US political website The Hill says, “It makes it clear that a virus tries to seek out new hosts (宿主) because its carriers die — as it must to survive, and it must always stay one jump ahead of death.”Interested? Click .FluWith a severe outbreak of the epidemic a South Korean city, the government orders a complete shutdown to separate the community. Doctor Kim and a rescue worker Kang want to save the infected, including Kim’s daughter. They enter the closed city and successfully develop a vaccine (疫苗).“It conveys to its audience the importance of treating people with dignity and courage,” movie critic Kerry wrote in her essay.Visit https:// and learn more about it.The Hot ZoneSince the Ebola virus first broke out in the 1970s in Africa, it has become famous worldwide and one of the deadliest diseases in the world.

D．For preference.2．Why does the government of a South Korean city order a shutdown?A．To rescue Kim’s daughter.B．To make a research into the virus.C．To test the effectiveness of the vaccine.D．To keep the city from the outside world.3．The passage is probably taken from .A．a website B．a tour guide C．a fiction book D．an advertisementIf you live near a deep forest, you might have come across some wildlife animals hiding in your backyard, but nothing beats the surprise this woman got when she found three baby deer hiding in her house to wait out the storm.The woman then posted several photos of the baby deer taking refuge (避难) in one of her rooms on her Twitter account “Amscolie”. She wrote that it was a very stormy day and a rainstorm was approaching so she left her back door open just in case some animals wanted to take refuge in her house. In the meantime, she went out in the storm to check whether there were any animals that were stuck in the bad weather, especially a number of deer. However, she could not find any of them so she went back to her home.Surprisingly, she found that the deer had already made their way inside her house!Like many other animals, deer can predict stormy weather and know when it is best to find a shelter from the dangerous weather. As the back door was opened, she did not notice when the deer entered her house. The three intelligent baby deer made their way inside but there was no sight of their parents. The woman did try to find if there was any deer nearby her house but to no avail. The woman thought that the baby deer might have lost their parents so she welcomed them with open arms.“I raise orphaned (孤儿的) wildlife. Recently, as a storm was coming, I doubted some wildlife couldn’t find shelters, so I opened the back door. With a shock, I went inside, only to see them next to an end table in the living room. I told them they could sleep in the house for the night because the weather was going to be terrible. What a day!” the woman wrote on . 4．How did the baby deer enter the woman’s house?A．The woman led them in.B．The woman invited them in.C．They always hid at woman’s home.D．They entered through the back door.5．What do we know about the woman from paragraph 2?A．She raises deer in her own house.B．She lost her deer on a stormy night.C．She is devoted to protecting wildlife.D．She hardly came across wild animals.6．Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “to no avail” in paragraph 4?A．Failed. B．Ignored. C．Missed. D．Disappeared. 7．What kind of person is the woman?A．Patient and honest. B．Selfless and humorous. C．Courageous and selfish. D．Warm-hearted and responsible.A handful of small animal and human studies prove that consuming dairy products like milk and cheese before bed may help most people have a more restful night’s sleep, though the reason why remains unclear.Most experts believe that milk promoting sleep may be related to chemical compounds, the mental effects of this relaxed bedtime habit, or both.Most experts agree that milk’s sleep-promoting possibility is likely related to specific chemical compounds, such as tryptophan (色氨酸)and melatonin (褪黑素)in milk which may help you fall asleep. Because the role of tryptophan and melatonin in sleep disorders is well established, most experts believe taking supplements of these compounds may reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression that can crop up at bed time.However, there’s currently no evidence to suggest that a single glass of milk contains enough tryptophan or melatonin to significantly influence your body’s natural production of elements which help a person fall asleep fast or to independently treat a disordered sleeping pattern.Some professors, such as Clinten in Boston University, draw a theory and suspect that milk’s potential role as a sleep aid has little to do with its nutritional composition and that it’s insteadmore closely related to the mental effect of having a calming bedtime habit.Another theory is that drinking warm milk could subconsciously remind you of having milk at bedtime during your early childhood years. These soothing feelings may signal to your brain that it’s time to sleep, making it easier to fall asleep peacefully.Still, there is not enough evidence to definitely prove any particular effects of developing a habit of drinking milk before bedtime, so more research is needed.8．What can we know about the viewpoint that milk can promote sleep?A．Milk can only help animals fall asleep quickly.B．The reason why drinking milk can promote sleep has been found.C．Everyone can fall asleep faster by drinking milk before going to sleep.D．The tryptophan and melatonin in milk may promote healthy sleep cycles. 9．According to the theory, Clinten thinks drinking milk before bedtime can .A．Release nutritional composition.B．Add more anxiety and depression.C．Imply oneself that you should go to bed now with ease.D．Continue to develop the habit of drinking just like in your childhood.10．Who is the intended readers?A．Tradesman who supply milk. B．People who suffer from wakefulness.C．Professors in Boston University. D．Children with a disordered sleeping habits. 11．What is the author’s attitude towards the effects of the milk before bedtime?A．Doubtful. B．Critical. C．Indifferent. D．Negative.Could an app tell if a first date is just not that into you? Engineers at the University of Cincinnati say the technology might not be far off. They trained a computer—using data from reparable technology that measures respiration, heart rates and perspiration to identify the type of conversation two people were having based on their physiological responses alone.Researchers studied a phenomenon in which people’s heart rates, respiration and other autonomic nervous system responses become synchronized (同步的) when they talk or collaborate. Known as physiological synchrony, this effect is stronger when two people engage deeply in a conversation or cooperate closely on a task. “Physiological synchrony shows up evenwhen people are talking over Zoom, an online chat platform,” said study co-author Vesna Novak.In experiments with human participants, the computer was able to differentiate four different conversations with as much as 75% accuracy. The study is one of the first of its kind to train artificial intelligence how to recognize aspects of a conversation based on the participants’ physiology alone.“The computer could tell if you’re a bore,” lead author Chatterjee said. “A modified version of our system could measure the level of interest a person is taking in the conversation, how harmonious the two of you are and how engaged the other person is in the conversation.”Studies have shown that physiological synchrony can predict how well two people will work together to accomplish a task. The degree of synchrony also correlates with how much empathy a patient perceives in a therapist or the level of engagement students feel with their teachers.“You could probably use our system to determine which people in an organization work better together in a group and which are naturally opposed,” Chatterjee said.This aspect of affective computing holds huge potential for providing real-time feedback for educators, therapists or even autistic people, Novak said, “There are a lot of potential applications in this space.”12．What did the engineers train the computer to do in the study?A．Record conversations. B．Smooth conversations.C．Judge conversations. D．Provide conversation tips.13．What’s paragraph 2 mainly about?A．How we develop talking skills. B．How physiological synchrony works.C．Why chatting online gets popular. D．Why physiological synchrony matters. 14．How does physiological synchrony benefit teachers?A．By offering them some teaching skills.B．By helping them correcting homework.C．By creating a relaxing studying atmosphere.D．By providing them with students’ participation level.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Stay or pass? This computer can tell. B．Good or bad? That is a big problem.C．What can the computer do for patients? D．How can we improve our people skills?As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He was also a really great person. Einstein learned from making mistakes16 He said he needed a desk, some paper and pencil. He also needed a basket to hold his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can only learn by making mistakes.17Many children wrote letters to ask him for help with their homework. One day, he wrote a letter to a young girl to tell her not to worry about her Maths homework because he thought Maths was difficult too. Einstein considered time to be importantHe never wore socks because he thought putting on socks was waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought remembering things found in books was not worth it. 18 He knew what was worth remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we cannot waste time. Einstein liked to joke tooIn one exam, a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied the questions were the same, but the answers were different. 19 When Einstein was a child, his teachers used to say he was not clever. However, Einstein kept working hard and surprised the world with his achievements. 20 So, never be discouraged!A．Einstein was also very modest.B．What a humorous person he is!C．Einstein was also strict with his students.D．Give students a chance to correct their mistakes.E．That’s why he never remembered his own phone number.F．If we ever feel like giving up when we have problems, we should think of him.G．When Einstein started to work in America, someone asked him what he needed.二、完形填空Claire and Larry Belmont, the owners of a flower shop, were surprised to discover thatsomeone had graffiti (涂鸦) a fence outside their shop.
