Ask someone else what they think.20You can ask two or three or four more people if two isn't enough.21If you mislead or lie to people about your opinions,then it's not surprising that you have a hard time trusting that people's compliments are genuine.Be more honest with people around you,and you'll find it much easier to believe what people say about you.A．They will be the tie breaker.B．You can check with someone else instead.C．The causes are complicated but the path to accepting compliments is simpler.D．How honest are you with your friends and family when they ask for your opinion? E．When someone is trying to pay you a compliment,they are speaking subjectively. F．When someone pays you a compliment,they are speaking about something that is observable. G．Similarly,when I call you smart or funny,I'm commenting based on my definition of smart or funny,that's how I see you.Have you considered contributing your skills and expertise virtually towards achieving sustainable human development efforts?Through the Online Volunteering service of the United Nations Volunteers(UNV)programme,you can connect with UN agencies,governments,public institutions and civil society organizations—from any device,anywhere in the world.While extending your network,you can also get first-hand practical experience.Requirements:·To sign up on the Unified Volunteering Platform and apply for Online Volunteer assignments,you must be at least18years of age.·There is no particular background required to become an Online Volunteer.Each Online Volunteer assignment is different and has its own requirements,set by the host organization.·As an Online Volunteer,you can only support organizations remotely in assignments up to20 hours per week for a maximum of12weeks for each assignment.Criteria and service rules:·Online Volunteers are not under contract with the UNV programme or the engaging organization.·Online Volunteers do not receive any kind of financial benefits.·For each Online Volunteering assignment,a maximum of25Online Volunteers can be engaged.

E．Simply walking more or doing household chores positively impacts health,F．It can work to break up sitting time and add steps hourly throughout the day. G．Spending four to six waking hours sitting or lying down is considered sedentary.TikTok has many clever tips and tricks to make life a little easier.From creative advice to practical skills,there is something for everyone on the video sharing App.Many of these methods have left viewers open-mouthed at their simplicity or scratching their heads as why they hadn’t thought of them first.But to save you some boring scrolling(滚屏),we have made a list of the best TikTok life tips in2021.Ready to be impressed?Chop onionsChopping onions is an emotional experience or,at least,it looks it.The vegetable can make us tear up,and salty liquid flowing down your cheeks is never a stylish look.However,a woman created a makeshift protective gear out of a hooded sweatshirt(连帽运动衫)and a pan cover. Next step,New York Fashion Week.Clean car headlightsIt is vital that your cars headlights stay in good working order so as to keep you safe.If yours are fogged up,just use a lemon and some baking soda.Many netizens have claimed that this method can save them some serious cash.Bathe your dogIf your dog hates having a bath,why not try peanut butter?While this one may seem ridiculous,one TikTok video has shown it is effective.In the clip the pet can be seen licking it off the side of the tub,as the owner cleans his fur.“I don’t even know I am having a bath.All I know is peanut butter,”the caption(字幕)reads.30．What can we infer from the first TikTok life tip?A．Chopping onions can make you upset.B．You can find the protective gear in New York.C．The makeshift protective gear is creative.D．It’s stylish to have tears flowing down your cheeks.31．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The tips and tricks sound easy but are difficult to apply.B．You can use a lemon and some baking soda to bathe your dog.C．Cleaning car headlights with a lemon and some baking soda is economical.D．The author finds bathing a dog with the help of peanut butter ridiculous. 32．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To analyze the reasons why people like TikTok.B．To share some clever tips and tricks found on TikTok.C．To come up with some practical suggestions on TikTok.D．To call on people to share more tips and tricks on TikTok.What motivates you to work or study harder?Is it the thought of success and all the amazing things that you can achieve,or is it the fear of failure and worry about all the things that can go wrong for you?Leaders,managers,and teachers have often used one of these ideas to inspire people to work harder and achieve more.33A recent study looked at the effect of fear-based strategies on British secondary school students.They found that if a test is seen as important,and students are optimistic that they can succeed,then the fear of failure can be used successfully by teachers to motivate these learners. However,if students are not confident,fear-based approaches could cause feelings of anxiety. 34The study also found that if students don’t care about the test,then,unsurprisingly,the fear of failure is not likely to motivate them.35It’s a fact that most new companies will fail.But does this motivate or prevent business people?Again,it’s not straightforward.The personal consequences of failure can be significant,and so founders may be motivated to work harder to avoid them.A study carried out on British and Canadian businessmen found that fear of failure can improve problem solving,as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues.36So it will help their business in the long run.37It can drive confident people to do better,but it can also increase our doubtsand turn them into barriers.A．It may motivate them more.B．But is one better than the other?C．Fear-based motivation is complicated.D．Then it can in turn lead them to do worse.E．Businessmen often run the risk of failure.F．They may also be inspired to learn new things.G．Is this idea beneficial for you to succeed?四、语法填空38．Beijing Olympic Park,also(know)as the Olympic Green,is located in Chaoyang District,Beijing,with a total land area of11.59square kilometers.（所给词的适当形式填空）五、书信写作39．假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你和你校交换生Jim准备联合参加学校组织的校园文创设计大赛(Campus Cultural and Creative Design Competition),请给Jim发邮件，内容包括：1.分享你的创意;2.询问Jim的建议。
重庆市2024-2025学年高三上学期10月期中英语试题
重庆市2024-2025学年高三上学期10月期中英语试题一、阅读理解Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time? Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”.Swim with Dolphins?Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers (螺旋桨).Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening their mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling. She’d be laughing.So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit and buy the book at a 20% discount.1．What can we know about swimming with dolphins?A．It’s the world’s most popular tourist activity.B．It gives fun to both tourists and dolphins.C．It can result in danger to dolphins.D．It will make tourists busy and tired.2．What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?A．Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.B．It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.C．Queuing for hours is worthwhile.D．It is not satisfying as expected.3．Why is the passage written?A．To publicize a book.B．To introduce a website.C．To comment on popular lists.D．To recommend tourist activities.Earlier that day, I’d picked up my car from the garage and drove north out of the city in full confidence. What could go wrong? After a couple of hours, I noticed my battery light was on. I’d seen such lights before. I’d worry tomorrow. Or maybe not.Gradually, more and more dashboard (仪表盘) lights flashed. I had never seen that many flash at once before in this or any other car. Then my radio cut out and suddenly the headlights too. Finally, the engine died, and I rolled to the shoulder of the road. Luckily, my hazard lights(危险警示灯) worked. Unluckily, I am one of the last people on Earth without a mobile phone. I was waving my arms in the darkness for 20 minutes. No one stopped.Then a passing pickup truck pulled over! The driver was on his way home from a job interview. When I mentioned that no one else stopped, the young man said, “People just don’t care any more.” He lent me his cellphone and I called for a tow (拖车).Soon a police car pulled in on the shoulder behind us and an officer got out. He invited me to sit in the back of his vehicle, to stay warm. He told me that two people called in about a man waving at the side of the highway. “They were women and didn’t want to stop,” he explained. “I can’t blame them,” I said. Half an hour later, the tow truck arrived.I knew that once my wife, my mother and my children heard about my latest misadventure they would talk me into getting a cellphone. After all, what responsible person has no mobile? ButI don’t know. I had a lot of good visits with new people. And what about all those folks who called for help on my behalf? And the officer who made sure I stayed warm? And the tow-truck driver who got me home safely? Is there a better way to discover the kindnesses of so many strangers? 4．What can we say about the author from Paragraph 1?A．He trusted to his luck.B．He had many worries.C．He escaped from death.D．He made several wrong turns.5．What help did the young man offer to the author?A．He gave him a lift.B．He comforted him with words.C．He let him use his phone.D．He called the police for him.6．How might the author feel hearing the police officer’s words?A．Slightly hurt.B．Greatly relieved.C．Severely worried.D．Deeply touched.7．What will the author most likely do concerning his family’s advice?A．Act on it.B．Put it aside.C．Accept it partly.D．Pass it onto other drivers.That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory (管理的) agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”.In response to the report, California is now thinking about requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes. Among them are Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which account for more than 90% of food dye. Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives.“The science is clear,” says Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. “These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.”What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,”says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition.Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Someone likens the practice to“putting cosmetics on food”. Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing, especially to kids.As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to reformulate products. In 2016, the company began using turmeric, annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.Around the same time, Chipotle, NestlUSA and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes.8．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．All the regulatory agencies is against the food dyes.B．The use of artificial food dyes are obviously increasing.C．Consumers’ pressure reduces the use of artificial food dyes.D．The agencies don’t know why food dyes are still a problem.9．Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes?A．OEHHA is an organization determining the ingredients in food.B．OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes.C．The government in California support OEHHA to change this situation.D．The excellent report put scientist and advocacy groups stand with OEHHA．10．Which word can replace the underlined word “reformulate”?A．Restructure.B．Register.C．Reflect.D．Rebuild. 11．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Some scientists don’t agree on using food dyes.B．The use of artificial food dyes may soon change.C．OEHA prepared a report to avoid using food dyes.D．OEHHA cleared the reason why food dyes are used.Wrapping paper — that thing that makes our holiday gifts look so festive — has a landfill problem. If it’s shiny, metallic, or glitter-encrusted, it’s not recyclable. And even recycled paper isn’t guaranteed to actually get recycled. But there’s an alternative, eco-friendlier option that someare turning to this holiday season: the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, known as furoshiki.Furoshiki refers to both the square cloth itself and the wrapping technique. The practice dates back hundreds of years, when people started using cloth bundles to carry items to and from public baths. Eventually, it evolved into a wrapping art form. People don’t just wrap presents with the cloth, but an endless number of small items like boxes, fruit, and books. When it was used to wrap gifts, Tsukada Simonian says traditionally, the furoshiki cloth would be returned to the gift giver to be used again and again.The tradition went out of fashion as paper and plastic substitutes took off in the post World War I period. It’s something “you would see at grandma’s house”, says Tomoko Dyen, who teaches furoshiki wrapping technique in Los Angeles.But recently, she says, it’s been regaining popularity. As more tourists have learned about it while visiting Japan, Dyen says it’s encouraged the next generation to “learn more about ourselves”.Furoshiki doesn’t necessarily require specific furoshiki cloth, says van der Steur. She stocks the museum store with imported Japanese furoshiki cloth including patterns with flowers, cats, and otters, but she says any piece of fabric, even old clothes, can work.Some of the learners showed up specifically hoping to learn furoshiki for holiday wrapping. But some say they walked away hoping to use it for much more. Kristan Delatori attended with the plan to wrap her holiday gifts this way — but now she says she’ ll bring furoshiki with her when she runs quick errands. “Being able to put a couple of these into my bag and always having something when I go to the grocery store or go shopping,” says Delatori. “I’m really excited.”12．What can we learn about furoshiki from the first two paragraphs?A．It looks more festive than common wrapping paper.B．It was sent as a part of the gift to the receivers for use.C．It refers to the square cloth only used to wrap presents.D．It was first used to carry items when people took baths.13．What makes the revival of furoshiki in recent years?A．The effort of the last generation.B．The attention from more visitors.C．The unique charm of furoshiki itself.D．The support of the local government.14．Which word best describes Kristan Delatori’s attitude to furoshiki?A．Skeptical.B．Conservative.C．Favorable.D．Unclear. 15．What is the best title of the text?A．The Square Cloth: The V ery Thing Bearing the Lost MemoryB．Wrapping Paper: A Recyclable Material Regaining PopularityC．Furoshiki: An Eco-Friendier Choice for Holiday WrappingD．Japan: An Asian Nation with Various Traditional Art FormsPursue Y our Dreams Today, Not TomorrowHave you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay. But why wait? 16 You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step. You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.17 If you never try, you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets. You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself. Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed. Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field. 18 Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction. If you allow your fear to get the best of you, you’re never going to forgive yourself.19 . It’s what you would encourage your friends to do, so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push?Sometimes, following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day. It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule, but you don’t have to sacrifice everything to follow your hearts. Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams. 20 Pursue your dreams now, even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone, and even though it means entering the unknown.A．Ask yourself what would be worse.B．Starting small is completely acceptable.C．You owe it to yourself to go after your dreams.D．New opportunities may lead to personal growth.E．If things go well, you can gradually make further shifts.F．You need to move past your insecurities and explore your full potential.G．Hard as it is, it’s crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.二、完形填空I was a city kid, a child of Toronto.

I screamed and ran quickly. 34 , he slipped off my shoulders and rejoined his partner group. I stood by our van, breathing rapidly.My aunt cited (引用) the incident as 35 that we should all return to Toronto immediately, and I didn’t disagree.

However, in the digital age, the concept of time has evolved beyond the traditional clock face. One innovative timepiece that captures this evolution is the ‘Clock Without Hands’. This unique clock is a large wall-mounted display that uses patterns of light to show the time. Instead of hands, it features an array of LED lights arranged in a circle. Different patterns of these lights turning onand off represent different times.The idea behind the ‘Clock Without Hands’ was to create a piece o f art that not only tells the time but also serves as a decorative element for any room. The designer, John Lightfoot, wanted to challenge people’s perceptions of how time could be displayed. He believed that the act of checking the time could be made more engaging if it involved a bit of a puzzle.Since its release, the ‘Clock Without Hands’ has gained popularity among art enthusiasts and tech-savvy individuals who appreciate its blend of form and function. Despite its complexity, users find it surprisingly intuitive once they understand the system of light patterns. It has become a symbol of modernity and a conversation starter in many homes and offices.1、What is the main purpose of the ‘Clock Without Hands’?A. To replace traditional watches completely.B. To offer a decorative alternative to conventional clocks.C. To make telling the time more complicated.D. To use less electricity than standard clocks.Answer: B.2、Who designed the ‘Clock Without Hands’?A. John SmithB. Jane LightfootC. John LightfootD. James WrightAnswer: C.3、According to the passage, what is one reason why people like the ‘Clock Without Hands’?A. It is cheaper than regular clocks.B. It can be used as a night light.C. It is easy to read after learning the system.D. It uses no electricity at all.Answer: C.4、Which group of people is mentioned as appreciating the ‘Clock Without Hands’?A. Traditional clock makersB. Art enthusiasts and tech-savvy individualsC. People who dislike modern artD. Those who prefer analog displaysAnswer: B.以上就是一个模拟的高三英语阅读理解题目。

Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758 — 1843). He was a teacher who reformed (改革) English to make American identity (特征) stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous(unreasonable), he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity (统一) and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.“He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.”4．Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary?A．It has local words in it.B．It is a 70,000-word dictionary.C．All the words are spelled without “u”.D．Its words are in American-style spelling.5．What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Depend on.B．Trust in.C．Put up with.D．Give up. 6．What do people think of Webster’s dictionary?A．It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.B．It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.C．It has no influence on the development of American English.D．It helped to make American English more useful than British English.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The development of the British English.B．American English is better than British English.C．Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.D．Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.COne August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.8．It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.A．there are huge noisesB．strangers are approachingC．the air is filled with food smellD．the hottest season comes around9．Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.A．have no after-effectsB．suffer from sharper painC．surely lose his lifeD．become more sensitive10．Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.A．he was unable to speak clearlyB．his radio equipment was poorC．he was in a state of shockD．no one was on duty11．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Allen, A Helpless DriverB．Wasps, Bloody KillersC．A Race Against DeathD．War Against WaspsDArmy ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds.Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的).However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area.Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing.Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs.12．What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1?A．Their migration.B．Their distribution.C．Their living habits.D．Their hunting targets.13．What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ?A．It becomes longer constantly.B．It keeps unchanged once built.C．It achieves the shortest distance.D．It is adjusted according to the needs.14．What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3?A．Reduce.B．Calculate.C．Neglect.D．Judge.15．What is the writing purpose of the text ?A．To stress the importance of cooperation.B．To explain army ants’ incredible strength.C．To show army ants’ collective intelligence.D．To indicate the harmony between nature and human.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
福建省莆田市第二十五中学2024-2025学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题
福建省莆田市第二十五中学2024-2025学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读理解The Best Caves in The WorldHang Son Doong, VietnamNatural caves don’t come much larger than Hang Son Doong, close to the border between Laos and Vietnam. This cave possesses the largest cross-section of any known cave on the planet, a vast area that is difficult to describe. Supposedly, a Boeing 747 could fly through without damaging its wings, but that doesn’t really do justice to the vastness of Hang Son Doong. The stalactites (钟乳石) here are pretty massive too, with some reaching up to 80 metres.Waitomo Caves, New ZealandGlowworms (萤火虫) are there, as far as the eye can see. Okay, not literally, but the Waitomo Cave system on New Zealand’s North Island is best-known for the fluorescent fauna that light up the walls, giving it the not-particularly-creative but completely acceptable “Glowworm Caves” nickname. They are more accessible than other caves on this list, with rafting and adventure tours available to those looking for something a little more thrilling.Mammoth Cave, the USAIf you have certain expectations from somewhere called “Mammoth Cave”, that is entirely understandable. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world’s longest known cave system, an incredible 420 miles of underground wonder. That’s twice as long as the next longest, by the way, although it isn’t unusual for the USA to go all out on such things.Reed Flute (芦笛) Cave, China Named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, obviously, the Reed Flute Cave’s walls are covered with inscriptions from centuries gone by—if evidence was needed that people have been paying attention to this place for a long old time. The inside part of the cave is also lit up by multicoloured lights, giving it a real otherworldly theme that adds weight to the nickname.1．What is special about Hang Son Doong?A．It was once a base of a factory.B．It is the deepest cave in the world.C．It has the highest stalactites in the world.D．It owns the largest cross-section in the world.2．Which of the following can be much easier to enter?A．Hang Son Doong.B．Waitomo Caves.C．Mammoth Cave.D．Reed Flute Cave.3．Which country probably has the longest cave system in the world?A．Vietnam.B．New Zealand.C．The USA．D．China.Food vlogger Julia Pacheco undertook an ambitious challenge to see if she could sustain herself on just $ 10 for an entire week, covering all meals from breakfast to dinner. The aim was not only to test the feasibility (可行性) of such a tight budget but also to explore how it would affect her overall well-being by the end of the week.Julia ’s journey began with a strategic shopping trip to Walmart, where she carefully selected key ingredients to maximize both her budget and nutritional intake. This initial phase set the tone for the week, showcasing the importance of planning in budget-friendly eating.Julia ’s grocery list included affordable staples (主食) like pasta, brown rice, mixed vegetables, bread, lentils, pinto beans, and some fresh produce such as apples, tomatoes, onions, and garlic. These items were chosen for their versatility (多用途) and nutritional value. The total cost of these groceries perfectly hit the $10 mark, setting the stage for a week of simple yet thoughtful meal planning. This careful selection was crucial as it laid the foundation for her entire week’s living.For the first five days, the mum’s breakfast routine consisted of oatmeal flavoured with apple. This choice was not only cost-effective but also provided a warm, hearty start to her day. On the last two days, Julia switched things up by having boiled eggs on toast, adding variety within budget. These breakfast options demonstrated that even on a tight budget, one could enjoy a wholesome and satisfying start to the day.By cooking large portions and storing them for later, she minimized waste and ensured she always had a meal ready, reducing the desire to snack unnecessarily. This approach also highlighted the importance of planning and preparation when working with a limited budget.Throughout the week, she felt full and content, proving that it’s possible to maintain a healthy diet even on a tight budget. Julia’s experience showed the potential to eat well with limitedfinancial resources.4．Why did Julia undertake the $10 challenge?A．To see if she could survive on a strict budget.B．To develop budget-friendly eating habits.C．To test the quality of food at Walmart.D．To promote a new way of living.5．What can we know about the grocery list that Julia chose?A．It fitted her budget and nutrition.B．It was full of her favourite staples.C．It was too complicated.D．It was out of a random choice.6．How did Julia manage to reduce waste during her challenge?A．By skipping breakfast.B．By preparing less staples.C．By cooking more food each time.D．By snacking unnecessarily.7．How was Julia’ s overall experience during the challenge?A．she struggled with her budget.B．she found it tough to continue.C．she ate well and felt satisfied.D．she suffered hunger sometimes.We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from “No one is going to miss you at the party” to “I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.Adam D．Pazda and Christopher A．Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through brightcolors.Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock’s tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.8．What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage?A．The cultural implications of high chroma colors.B．The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.C．The connection between clothing and job suitability.D．The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.9．What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Draw on.B．Approve of.C．Subscribe to.D．Dig up. 10．Which might be a limitation of the study?A．The culturally specific findings.B．The unmonitored research process.C．The outdated data analysis methods.D．The relatively insufficient theoretical basis. 11．What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph?A．Reserve bright colors for social events.B．Always wear bright colors to be noticed.C．Avoid bright colors in professional settings.D．Use bright colors strategically based on your goals.In recent decades, experiments have begun to catch up with what people who work closely with animals have always known—that animals have an inner life, and consciousness isn’t uniquely human.Consciousness is a concept that is extremely difficult to define. There have been many attempts: is it awareness, or awareness of that awareness, or self-awareness instead? But a useful working definition might be that it is any kind of subjective experience, ranging from how we perceive the external world to our inner thoughts and emotions. Because you can never be inside another living being’s head, questions of consciousness are both hard to answer and open to bias (偏见).Findings of experiments inspired a group of scientists in April to write The New York Declaration Animal Consciousness, which now has over 300 supporters. It states that there is “strong scientific support for conscious experience” in mammals and birds and “at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience” in fish and other species.That animals have some form of inner life must surely be self-evident to many people who live or work with them, just as I would guess that most carers of newborn babies don’t see these infant as senseless automatic machines. The experiences of people with thorough knowledge of either have historically, been viewed as subjective and biased, as emotional connection tends to influence logical reasoning. Our consciousness leads us to over-empathize with others we cannot truly know, the argument goes.But, as the biologist Marc Bekoff wrote, if we humans have something, then other animals are likely to have it too. I personally feel that attempts to divorce emotion, feeling and experience from how we see animals can be as unscientific. For too long, we assumed that humans are unique and animals don’t feel pain or emotions the way that we do, a convenient but cruel null hypothesis (无效假设), when we could have started from the position that perhaps they do instead. 12．Which is a key characteristic of consciousness according to the passage?A．It means any emotional experience of humans.B．It refers to individual’s subjective experience.C．It is all about how we perceive the external world.D．It refers to a common quality shared by all animals.13．Why are the carers of newborn babies mentioned?A．To show that animals are just as conscious as human babies.B．To help readers understand why animals possess consciousness.C．To argue against the view of people living or working with animals.D．To explain why animal carers would assume animals have an inner life.14．What might be the author’s attitude towards Marc Bckoff’s assumption about animal emotions?A．Doubtful.B．Objective.C．Supportive.D．Uncertain. 15．which can be the best title of the passage?A．Consciousness Improved Through PracticeB．Questions of Human Consciousness AnsweredC．Factors Affecting Animal Consciousness DiscoveredD．Conscious Experience Found in Certain Animal SpeciesRejection creates an emotional roller coaster. We feel the sadness, anger, and loss of the person who rejects us, and also our self-respect is hurt. 16 While there is no quick fix, the following suggestions can help you overcome the confusion and ease the pain of rejection.17 People tend to avoid their pain. There is no healing without feeling your feelings. There is no healing without pain. You must go through the feelings to heal. Let yourself feel the loss and the pain and express your difficult emotions. You should know that you are strong enough and can face pain with courage to heal and grow.Take it one moment at a time. It takes time to heal and for the hurt to lessen. In the abyss (深渊), it is hard to think too far, so be patient during this difficult period. Unfortunately, today, we live in the fast lane. We don’t have patience and we want things to happen immediately. Patience is a lost art. 18Develop gratitude. Gratitude is cure for pain. Pain is about what we are missing. Gratitude is about what we are having. If we focus on the negative, we will see the negatives. 19 Those who show gratitude, develop a positive attitude, and appreciate their situation minimize their pain and create more happy moments in their lives.Getting over a rejection is hard. 20 It is there to make you grow. Everyone heals from rejection at their own pace in their own way. We must sympathize with ourselves and acceptthat reality. It’s important to take your time to deal with rejection and to use the practices suggested to heal and move on to the new opportunities life presents us. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.A．Feel it to heal it.B．Don’t take it too personally.C．However, your pain won’t last forever.D．So, even if you are broken, keep busy.E．With time, the sense of loss and hurt will ease.F．This is why getting over a rejection is challenging.G．If we focus on the positive, we will see the positives.二、完形填空A young woman, swept out to sea while swimming at a beach in China, has been rescued37 hours later, having drifted (漂流) more than 50 miles in the pacific ocean. 21 as an Australian national in her 20s, the woman’s 22 ended thanks to the combined efforts of China’s coast guard and two ships.The dramatic rescue began after the woman’s friend reported her 23 Monday night while they were swimming at the beach.

I have blocked out much of the cruel In junior high, a well-meaning acquaintance called me Stretch. In university, I was Shortly brought on myself when a friend said,"I'll see you shortly,"to which I replied,"Sounds good, and don't call me Shortly.Jokes and nicknames aside, there were some real challenges as a short person. Studies have shown short men tend to make less money on average. This is why I hated in-person job interviews.I always feared my height would cost me an opportunity. I always felt judged, real or not.As I get older, and obviously wiser, it doesn't get to me as much. There are some benefits of being short. I find airplane seats spacious. I am good at hide and seek. I rarely bump my head.Would I still want to be taller? Of course. But I wouldn't be me. I am me because I'm short.

They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievements.A study on "slash youth"published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society's structured organization and stability norms are broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has emerged, eliminating the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession.. which forces them to re-find the meaning of work."The‘slash life'shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive,and it welcomes everyone's self fulfillment," said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher fromTianjin Academy of Social Sciences. The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the"slash life"of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.8．Which is true about the. slash youth?A．Tending to pursue meaningful achievements.B．Enjoying posting themselves on social media.C．Adjusting themselves to challenges in life.D．Refusing to undertake multiple careers.9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The significance of flexible labor markets.B．Reasons for the appearance of slash youth.C．Young people's interest in their profession.D．Causes of losing power among the youth.10．What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life?A．It can gain people's independence.B．It inspires young people's creativity.C．It can pick up an economic growth.D．It enables young people to earn high.11．What is the purpose of the text?A．To provide latest career guidance.B．To introduce a social phenomenon.C．To analyze a new cultural difference.D．To highlight a unique life experience.阅读理解A study published in the journal Nature Geoscience last week revealed soil samples collected by China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe contained impact glass beads(珠子) that held water in the form of hydroxyl(氢), a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. Hydroxyl ion is one of the most common ions found in water.These glass beads are created when meteoroids(流星体) hit the moon's surface, throwing up hot molten droplets which then cool and turn solid. They function like a sponge, soaking up hydrogen atoms carried by the solar wind to form hydroxyl, thus playing a key role in the water cycle of the lunar surface.While each be ad only holds a tiny amount of water, these glass balls are so ubiquitous on the moon researchers estimated lunar soils could store as much as 270 billion metric tons of water. For decades, scientists thought the moon was bone dry until discoveries in recent years revealed its soil could hold water."The moon potentially holding 270 billion metric tons of water is quite substantial, though it pales in comparison to the amount of water in the Earth's oceans," said Hu Sen, a researcher from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.These findings not only provide insight on the origins, storage, and transportation of water on celestial(天空的)bodies without atmospheres, but they also may prove helpful for planning and building a sustainable human habitat on these planets, he added.12．What do glass beads on the moon's surface function?A．As a sponge taking in hydrogen atoms.B．As meteoroids hitting the moon's surface.C．As hydroxyl beneath the lunar surface.D．As a source of energy for water cycle.13．What does the underlined word"ubiquitous"mean in paragraph.3?A．Rare.B．Common.C．Obvious.D．Energetic.14．What could be the potential sources of water on the lunar surface?A．Water from Earth.B．Water from the sun.C．Water from the stars.D．Water from meteoroids.15．What's the best title of this passage?A．The Key Role of Hydroxyl in LunarB．New Discoveries based on Moon'sC．Glass Beads Found on Moon's SurfaceD．Scientists Discover Water Reservoir二、第一部分阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she di dn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family's relationship became stronger over that time.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.21.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”A.A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.B.A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.C.A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.D.A person who loo ks like an apple in their opinion.22.Why didn't the father pick the boy up himself?A.He was very lazy.B.He thought the mother had picked him up.C.He forgot to pick him up.D.He was too tired to do it.23.What can we learn from this passage?A.Be careful in everything you do.B.Love is the most important thing.C.Learn to forgive others.D.Everyone can make mistakes.24.What do you think of the husband?A.Warm-hearted.B.Careful.C.Hard-working.D.Broad-minded.BToday，people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big，noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills，mountains，fields，rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets，buildings，traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban_areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries，the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town，people come to find work，and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby，where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools，hospitals and shops，so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world，there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States，this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city，far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant，with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years，and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.25.We can easily know that the underlined phrase “urban areas” means________.A.areas of the countrysideB.areas of a town or cityC.areas near the countrysideD.areas near a town or city26.Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A.Because they can live more comfortably there.B.Because they prefer a noisy life to a peaceful life.C.Because they want to find work.D.Because they are sure of having a better life there.27.In a residential area，you can see________.A.rows of houses，schools and shopsB.many offices and factoriesC.a lot of factories and farmsD.many houses with offices and factories28.In the United States many people work in the centre of a big city________.A.while living on the faraway edge of the cityB.and live thereC.but live in another cityD.but live far away out of the cityCAfter numerous warnings over the years, you thought coffee probably had a negative effect on your health. Perhaps the drink is not so bad after all.The new study, conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), has been published and suggests that coffee does not have a harmful effect on your health. Researchers suggest, based on data examined, older adults who drink a lot of coffee, have a lower risk of death when compared to their non-drinking coffee peers.The team of researchers conducting the study analyzed data on 400,000 U. S. men and women, aged 50 to 71 years; the individuals had participated in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. This study started in 1995-1996 and was tracked until the day a participant passed away, or Dec. 31, 2008.According to a press release on the report, researchers shared that coffee drinkers are “less likely to die from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections, although the relationship was not seen for cancer.”Results indicated participants that drank three or more cups of coffee a day reduced their risk of death by 10 percent. Based on the findings that both caffeinated and non-caffeinatedcoffee found similar results, researchers are thinking caffeine is not the protective ingredient(原料), although which ingredient in coffee might be, they are not sure. Researchers indicate that despite these observational findings, they caution（警告） it is not clear whether or not drinking coffee actually extends life expectancy.“Co ffee is one of the most widely drunk drinks in America, but the relationship between coffee consumption and risk of death has been unclear. We found coffee consumption to be associated with lower risk of death overall, and of death from a number of different causes,” said Neal Freedman, Ph. D., Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, NCI. “Although we cannot infer a relationship between coffee drinking and lower risk of death, we believe these results do provide some comfort that coffee drinking does not adversely （不利地）affect health,” Freedman said.Dr. Cheryl Williams, a registered dietician, told ABC News, “Overall, more research needs to be done to truly understand the ingredients in coffee and their biological activity and effect on health,” said Williams.29.The passa ge is mainly about __________.A.medical benefits of coffeeB.the importance of drinking coffeeC.coffee’s negative effects on healthD.new study results on coffee30.The findings show that __________.A.people who often drink coffee are more likely to get cancer.B.people rely heavily on coffee drinking and that proves to be a problemC.drinking coffee can help reduce the risk of death from some diseasesD.caffeine is the very ingredient which protects people from disease.31.What can we infer from William’s words?A.People should take advantages of drinking coffee.B.People should carry out more related and effective studies.C.People should drink more caffeinated coffee.D.People should analyze the cause of human death.32.The author develops the text mainly byA.providing typical examplesparing opinions from different fieldsC.presenting a cause and analyzing its effectsD.showing scientific data and informationDGONE WITH THE WINDAuther: Margaret Mitchell¥25 (in bookstore)¥18 (online)Gone With the Wind is a best-seller, which tells a story that happened in the American Civil War.
