Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helpedhighlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems.Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts (路灯柱) at about nine feet in the air. However, since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair (婴儿车), she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment Agency.The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy’s 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency. Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasize that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma (哮喘).Matt Hunt said he was “very proud” of his son because “when the boy gets an idea, he keeps his head down and gets on with it, and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma.”“Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age,” Matt added. “He became very interested in gadgets (小装置). About one year ago, he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do somemonitoring, and he said, ‘why don’t we put it on Baggy’s collar and let her monitor the pollution ’ So we did it.”Tom said, “Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time she is a super dog, and we are all really proud of her.”5.What can we learn from the Baggy dataA.High places are free of air pollution. B.Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids.C.Conventional monitors are more reliable. D.Air is more polluted closer to the ground.6.What is Tom’s purpose of doing the researchA.To warn of a health risk. B.To find out pollution sources. C.To test his new monitor. D.To prove Baggy’s abilities. 7.According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom HuntA.Modest. B.Generous. C.Creative. D.Outgoing.For people who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today’s sound professionals a re sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the o fficer can’t let him get away. he pulls out a special device points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Let’s say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming(哼唱)a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on, point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights(聚光灯)are used in thetheater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, a “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.8.What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRADA.It causes temporary hearing loss B.It slows down a running man C.It makes it easy to identify a suspect D.It keeps the suspect from hurting others9.The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to ________. A.silence the people around you B.remove the sound of commercialsC.block the incoming sound waves D.stop unwanted sound from affecting you10.What feature do spotsounds and spotlights shareA.They travel in circles B.They clear the atmosphere. C.They can be transformed into energy D.They can be directed onto a specific area11.Directed sound can be used for ________.A.creative designs of restaurant menus B.ideal sound effects on the theater stageC.different choices of music for businesses D.strict control over any suspicious customerA scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing … right Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists (心理学家) have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific investigation than one might think.Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls in the ground —and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact (相互作用); bowls of rice do not float in mid-air, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation andthe scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim (to learn about the natural world), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected ).Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way — that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws light on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort — the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world — is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution (进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive (认知的) systems that make young children feel goodabout figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientis ts are big children.”12.According to some developmental psychologists, ________. A.a baby’s play is nothing more than a gameB.scientific research into babies’ games is possibleC.the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigated D.a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment 13.We learn from Paragraph 2 that ________A.scientists and babies seem to observe the world differently B.scientists and babies often interact with each other C.babies are born with the knowledge of object support D.babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do 14.Children may learn the rules of language by ________. A.exploring the physical world B.investigating human psychology C.repeating their own experiments D.observing their parents’ behaviors15.What is the main idea of the last paragraphA.The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play. B.Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science.C.Children may have greater ability to figure out things thanscientists.D.One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.二、七选五I experienced years of loneliness as a child. ___16___ His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.A bright spot for me turned out to be reading.

陕西省延安中学2023-2024学年高一下学期第二次月考英语试卷
陕西省延安中学2023-2024学年高一下学期第二次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Four Places to Listen to Free Music OnlinePandoraPandora is a popular Internet radio service that lets users create personalized stations and listen to music. To use Pandora, you will have to create an account using your email address and a password. As you find music you like, you can save songs to your collection. However, you can’t download any specific tracks to your computer or phone.LiveOneOn LiveOne, you’ll mostly find big artists, bands and songs along with interviews and news. While you won’t be able to stream all songs on demand for free due to licensing restrictions (限制), you will be able to create a station of similar tracks/artists from nearly any song. There’s a tab (标签) named “My Library” where you can save and share your favourite music.iHeartRadioiHeartRadio is a great website or app for listening to live radio stations. You can find local stations or check out stations from around the country. You won’t have to create an account to begin listening on iHeartRadio. but you can make one for free to save stations and playlists. Whether you decide to create an account or not. you won’t be able to download music from iHeartRadio.SpotifyIf you’re looking for free music online, you’ve most likely come across Spotify already. This resource is great for streaming popular hits while discovering new favourites. You can keep track of what you’ve recently played, and “favourite” songs. In addition to music. Spotify offers playlists of its most-played songs and information on local upcoming concerts.1.Which is a must before using Pandora?A.Saving some songs.B.Creating an account.C.Calling other users.D.Sending a private email.2.What can you do on “My Library” of LiveOne?A.Download popular songs.B.Make new friends online.C.Share your favourite music.D.Discover radio stations.3.What is special about Spotify?A.It offers news on local upcoming concerts.B.It requires no membership card.C.It allows users to download music for free.D.It features a station of similar artists.Binge-watching (刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in a row. With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows stream (流播) directly to their television at their convenience.This behavior is nothing new. In fact, binge-watching has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode.However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back (一集接一集地), almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and 25% have neglected their household chores (家务活). Next we’ll be missing work!Bingeing has other connections — binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist (抗拒) watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?The countless number of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning, then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little ofwhat you fancy does you good.”4.How did the writer develop the first paragraph?A.By giving a definition.B.By telling a story.C.By listing some examples.D.By analyzing the cause and effect. 5.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “concurrently” in Paragraph2?A.For convenience.B.At the same time.C.In detail.D.Free of charge.6.What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that ______.A.people can’t control their feelings B.people can’t resist the temptation of Bingeing C.people have no patience to do work D.people are addicted to waiting for a new episode7.What advice did the writer give at last?A.To keep online media from stopping functioning.B.To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.C.To learn life lessons from the episodes.D.To watch episodes in a moderate way.This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it.The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data.8.What can we learn about MusicLM?A.It is the first AI music tool to be launched.B.It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences.C.It creates music based on simple descriptive words.D.It generates complex writings from a simple description.9.What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM?A.They can take the place of musicians.B.They have gained commercial success.C.They don't have any practical use in life.D.They are based on huge amounts of data. 10.Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model?A.Creating music with strong biases.B.Requiring too much training data.C.Being difficult for some people to use.D.Producing music works with no creativity. 11.What would be the best title for the text?A.The future of humans with AI B.A new AI tool to make musicC.Music created by some AI tools D.AI and its function in culture developmentCyber-bullying (网络欺凌) may take place in the online world, but it is no less damaging than in the real world. The Internet has become a kindness desert, a place where few flowers bloom. Bullying is pretty common. 12 According to those bullied, they’re usually seen asbeing different from the crowd. They are unique.Being bullied is a frustrating and painful experience. Online bullying can really hurt others, and it can have serious consequences. 13 Some people have even committed suicide because they were harassed (侵扰) online and didn’t think it would ever stop. Here are some valuable tips to help you address a bully and protect yourself in a safe way.Don’t blame yourself. 14 It’s only the bully’s fault, so don’t blame yourself for his or her shortcomings.Stay away from bullies. Bullies hope you interact with them so that they have an excuse to keep picking on you. When the bully starts orally attacking you, remove yourself from the situation if you can, simply by walking away.15 Try as you might to ignore the bullies when they are saying ugly things about you. Remind yourself that you are a great person and that nothing the bullies say matters.Speak out. Nobody has the right to make you feel unsafe, uncomfortable or unhappy. Find someone you can talk to, your teacher or your parent and tell them what’s going on. 16 Follow these tips and you should feel well-equipped to deal with your bullies the next time they attack.A.Keep track of bullies.B.Be sure you’re wonderful.C.Adults can offer help if they know about the problem.D.Being bullied can make you feel alone, scared, and hopeless.E.Your parents are willing to help you when recognizing your problem.F.If you are being bullied, it’s essential to know that it is never your fault.G.Studies have found that nearly one-third of all students are bullied each year.二、完形填空The caring employees at a Costco store near Cleveland, Ohio, are being honoured as heroes.

All the sounds I take for granted, had gone. I had entered a world of silence. This unsettling experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to go deaf for a day to support the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, for which I am an ambassador.When I managed to take a cab to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldn’t hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. Conversation was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to ring the intercom (对讲机) five times as I couldn’t hear a response.Everybody said I was shouting at them ---I simply wasn’t aware of how loudly I was speaking as I couldn’t hear my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didn’t realize. I was too busy trying to concentrate on reading his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it, more slowly. Eventually he lost his patience and snapped at me: “Just give me the phone!” I was shocked.People couldn’t be bothered to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. I felt I’d lost control.Being deaf for a day was extraordinarily tiring. I had to work so hard to “listen” with my eyes, get people’s attention and use my other senses to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort.Until that experience, I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through. If a deaf person asks you to repeatsomething, never think: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter.4.Why did the author focus on reading Gavin’s lips?A.He didn’t want to bother Gavin to repeat what he was saying.B.He wanted to be aware of what the code was.C.He attempted to get the code into the phone by himself.D.By doing this he could understand what Gavin was saying.5.What advice does the author give in the passage?A.Repeat things as slowly as possible for the deaf.B.Speak at the top of your voice if you can’t hear others speaking.C.Take your own hearing for granted.D.Do as many things as possible for the deaf.6.What can be inferred from the passage?A.It’s boring to live in a world of silence.B.Many ordinary people just take hearing for granted until they lose it.C.There are many other ways to help the deaf understand others.D.The author has to use gestures to communicate with his friends.7.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Listening with Eyes B.Helping the DeafC.Being Deaf for a Day D.The Importance of Reading LipsYou’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it.When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish-eradicating their hunger-and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer.But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight.Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation?Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson? Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes? You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy (共情).The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.8.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To illustrate a concept.B.To bring in a new viewpoint.C.To introduce the background.D.To put up an example.9.What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in paragraph 2?A.Getting rid of.B.Paying attention to.C.Making up for.D.Putting up with.10.What should we do first for those in disasters?A.Get them to think straight.B.Enhance their confidence.C.Satisfy their primary needs.D.Teach them a new skill.11.Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph?A.Live and learn.B.Never teach a fish to swim.C.Put yourself in others’ shoes.D.Don’t teach old dogs new tricks.Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills (垃圾填埋场), where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is a significant contributor in global warming.One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking. So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored stuff many of us are familiar with any more. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.Effective recycling requires a consistent effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same. 12.What does the author want to express in paragraph 1?A.Consequences resulting from forest loss.B.The significance of paper in daily life.C.The disadvantages of current paper production.D.The severe situation caused by papermaking.13.Why is paper in landfills harmful?A.It releases smelly gases.B.It results in global climate change.C.It pollutes the nearby land.D.It may lead to fire accidents.14.What can we know about paper-recycling?A.It produces cellulose to make more paper.B.The structure of cellulose makes it possible.C.The color of recycled paper is different.D.It produces cellulose without using trees. 15.What’s the purpose of this text?A.To introduce paper recycling technology.B.To stress the threat of global warming.C.To appeal to people to recycle paper.D.To describe the considerable need for paper.You’ll make new friends in each stage of your life. Some of them will come and go, while others will last for the rest of your life. 16There are many benefits of having strong friendships. According to experts, many people regret not keeping friendships going and end up living a life with no close friends or even enduring mental and physical sufferings. 17 People who have healthy friendships tend to enjoy life more and may even live longer.18 There are a lot of ways to make new friends that can stay with you for the rest of your life. Look for people who share things with you. If you have kids, join a mom’s group, or sign your child up for classes where you’ll naturally meet other parents. 19 You share your career and will have a lot to talk about while also having built-in opportunities to spend time with each other.Sometimes it’s a good idea to let a friendship go, even if you’ve been friends for a long time. If one party isn’t making an effort to keep things going, it can lead to feelings of hurt and betrayal, and it might be time to let things cool off and pursue other friendships. 20 Besides, it can encourage you to focus on the partnerships that are healthy and where both of you are committed to keeping it going for your entire life.A.Lifelong friendships are what most people desire.B.You don’t have to be mean or harsh to get this done.C.If you are lacking in good friendships, it’s not too late.D.You can also make friends with people you work with.E.So making time for your friendships is vital to a healthy life.F.Sign up for a dancing class to meet those with the same passion.G.While this can be sad, it can actually improve your quality of life.二、完形填空The train had been long delayed.

Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete.And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life’s opportunities.Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I set these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.4.During Senior One, what does the writer want to do first?A.Focus on improving her overall grades.B.Join as many school clubs as possible.C.Learn how to manage her time well.D.Spend more time on outdoor activities.5.What is the attitude of the writer towards failure?A.Discouraged.B.Brave.C.Worried.D.Careful. 6.What does the underlined sentence “it’s the other way around” in the last paragraph mean?A.It is the opposite.B.It is difficult.C.It is necessary.D.It is helpful.7.What is the writer’s purpose of the passage?A.To share her goals for the coming school year.B.To stress the importance of health to students.C.To show what she likes about high school life.D.To explain how to balance studies and activities.Last year, my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for the Christmas. My mum, a fearless woman, would get strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our declining bond.Growing up, moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school, reuniting only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly await my return, which would always lead to constant loving scenes. Those cherished moments were gradually vanishing as I moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense. She seemed unable to comprehend me and her stubborn and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled away, the more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so dim. Perhaps Singapore would give us a chance to breathe it back to life.I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother, who was an art student. However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness about ocean pollution. “It’s art, Mum! Be more appreciative.” I defended.Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid’s zone. We signed up for a joint sketching activity, hoping that would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our faded relationship began to take on the hues and shades of something sincere and beautiful.“Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations. “That one’s ours.” Mum went up and reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth in the virtual tank.Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who was like me, had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood.“Our time together was like that of friends. You were my mother, and I’m a child following you around.” My mum said to me with a smile.8.What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore?A.The resolve to overcome the nervousness on flight.B.The desire to restore relationship with her children.C.The sincere invitation of my Singapore-based sister.D.The expectation for Art Science Museum as an artist.9.What is the attitude of Mum towards the Bruges Whale?A.She felt it a huge waste to make it from plastic.B.She showed a great interest in this work of art.C.She didn’t think it good enough to be exhibited.D.She considered it beneficial to ocean protection.10.What can we learn from the sketching activity?A.It revealed Mum’s inner ignorance like a girl.B.It explored causes for faded bond between families.C.It let Mum totally lose responsibilities of motherhood.D.It provided an opportunity to share moments with families.11.What do Mum’s words imply in the last paragraph?A.A good medicine tastes bitter.B.Life has indeed come full circle.C.Actions speak louder than words.D.Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis, according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7,000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害),with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Rachel, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Rachel. “It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12, 189 km2, has 110 languages, the highest density of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise. “Marty small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise,” she says. Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL) in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages. 12.Which statement best describes the facts of languages?A.Climate change is the only challenge for minority languages.B.Half of all the languages spoken will be extinct in the future.C.Climate crisis is a huge threat to many indigenous languages.D.Poor education is the direct cause of disappearing languages.13.Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3?A.To explain the main reason for language density.B.To show the common features of endangered languages.C.To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.D.To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.14.What is the aim of the IDIL?A.Support migrants to access local education.B.Discourage people from massive migration.C.Protect the environment to reduce the temperature.D.Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to LeaveB.Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International CooperationC.Lost for Words: Climate Crisis Brings Threat of CatastropheD.Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate CrisisGoing from middle school to the freshman year of high school is a big change. 16 .Be open to new friendships.High school is all about experiencing new things, including new friendships. Getting to know people you haven’t met before is a great way to broaden your horizons. 17 Simply sitting with a new person at lunch can be enough to get the ball rolling.Explore the campus.For most people, going off to senior high school means heading to a completely new campus. 18 . They might be able to show you around the campus, which will make you a bit more confident as you go on with your freshman year.Get organised.Senior high school and junior high school are very different. 19 . You can buy a planner and spend a few minutes each night going over the notes you took in class that day. Staying on top of your studies will make the transition(过渡) from middle school to high school much easier.20 .While there’s no need to plan every day for the next three years, it can’t hurt to make a note of classes you want to take or activities you’d like to try. Believe it or not, the three years will go by really fast. Having a plan in place will help you make the most of your high school experience.A.Create a three-year plan.B.Be open to new experiences.C.If you’re nervous, start small.D.That way, you’ll have a better idea of some of the things you can expect.E.Try to get as organised as possible so you can stay on top of your studies.F.If you worry about the unknown, reach out to the school and see if someone can help.G.Here are some ways to help you deal with anxiety and prepare for the first year.二、完形填空I fell in love with reading when I was a child. Through reading, I developed a good relationship with my parents.Born as a secondgeneration South Korean in America, I was raised in an environment in which my parents struggled to settle in American culture.

She’s since been taken in by the Williams family in Waconia, whose 7-year-old son, Paxton Williams, had his right leg cut away three years ago.Rolling Oaks Goldens breeder Barb Felt found the Williams family through a friend, Paxton’s doctor. “When she was born, we knew right away she had a special purpose,” Felt said. “We wanted her to go in a home with someone who had a limb (肢体) differen ce.”Paxton was born before the time was enough, which caused the boy to develop a serious problem in his right leg, which stunted the limb’s growth. Three years ago, Paxton’s parents made the difficult decision to have the boy’s right leg amputated andre placed with an artificial limb. Paxton’s mother, Stephanie, appreciates how their new pet addition helps her son normalize his physical differences.“It gives him the opportunity to tell the kids, ‘Oh, she’s missing a paw, she’s like me,’” the mom explained. “Just like it gives him that voice to advocate for himself.”Blaine, Paxton’s father, has also been moved by seeing Paxton andMarvel enjoy walks together on trails near their house. “It’s like they knew they were special,” Blaine said. “The amount of e motions was running through me at the time,” he continued. “It was just awesome because she was in the perfect place at the perfect time.”Marvel might need a wheelchair or an artificial paw of her own as she grows larger and gets older. The family hopes that Paxton will someday be able to run with his artificial leg and that Marvel will be there to run beside him.4.When did Paxton lose one of his limbsA.When he was born. B.When he met the pet.C.When he was four years old. D.When he was seven years old. 5.What does the underlined word “stunted” in paragraph 3 mean A.Making something grow healthily.B.Stopping something from growing normally.C.Helping something to develop rapidly.D.Forcing something to develop partly.6.How did Blaine feel about the company of Marvel A.Horrible.

D.Uncertain.7.What is the main idea of the textA.A boy found a pet dog in the street.B.The golden retriever saved her owner.C.The Williams adopted a golden retriever.D.A disabled boy adopted a dog without a paw.Organic food (有机食品) is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money. There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural. Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. In the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious ( 有营养的) This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers (消费者) believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce verycarefully.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry. 8.What is the doctors’ suggestionA.Grow your own food. B.Reduce the use of pesticides. C.Make sure the food is clean. D.Buy large companies’ products. 9.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food A.It tastes better. B.It is easier to grow.C.It contains more fat. D.It is more nutritious.10.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers A.Price. B.Safety. C.Freshness. D.Variety.11.Where does this text probably come fromA.A health magazine. B.A medical report.C.A chemistry paper. D.A menu of a restaurant.The worst outbreak of desert locusts (蝗虫)in Kenya in 70 years has seen hundreds of millions of the insects fly into the East African nation from Somalia and Ethiopia. Those two countries have not suffered like this in a quarter-century, destroying farmland and threatening the area with serious hunger.“Even cows are wondering what is happening,” said NdundaMakanga, who spent hours Friday trying to run after the locusts from his farm. “Corn, sorgh um, cowpeas, they have eaten everything.”“Even a small group of the insects can eat enough food for 35, 000 people in a single day,” said Jens Laerke of the UN humanitarian office in Geneva.About 70. 000 hectares(172, 973 acres)of land in Kenya are attacked. A single swarm can contain up to 150 million locusts per square kilometer of farmland, an area the size of almost 250 football fields, the officials say.“We must act immediately,” said David Phiri of the UN Food and Agricultural Organization.About $70 million is needed to apply aerial pesticide (杀虫剂), the only effective way to fight them, the UN says. That won’t be easy, especially in Somalia.Shocked by the finger-length insects, children run here and there, waving blankets (毛毯)to shake the locusts free. Farmers are afraid to let their cattle out, and their crops are in danger, but there is little they can do.One especially large group in northeastern Kenya measured 60 kilometers long by 40 kilometers wide(37 miles long by 25 miles wide).“The locals are really frightened because they can eat everything,” said Francis Kitoo, deputy director of agriculture in southeastern Kenya’s Kitui County. “I’ve never seen such a big number. They will lay eggs and start another generation,” he said.12.How does the author describe the outbreak of desert locusts A.By telling a story. B.By explaining causes.C.By listing numbers. D.By reporting comments.13.What helps control the locusts bestA.Staying indoors B.Letting their cattle out.C.Using pesticide. D.Waving blankets.14.What’s Francis Kitoo’s attitude towards the future A.Concerned. B.Confused.C.Confident D.Hopeful.15.What is mainly talked about in the passageA.Hunger threatening East Africa.B.The causes of the locusts outbreak.C.An overall impression of East AfricaD.A disaster brought by locusts in East Africa.二、七选五Many hear endlessly how good exercise is for our health, but you might be surprised to know just how good. ____16____It helps you breathe better.Frequent exercise improves the volume of oxygen you can use in your body.

Sasha went to a local arts high school and focused on musical theater. Steve admits to hoping his daughter would develop a love for jazz. The father’s expectation was eventually met when the daughter rediscovered jazz music. Sasha says she admired a guy in the jazz department and on the day they met, the first thing he said was, “I’m such a big fan of your dad’s!” She says the experienc e helped her realize that her father and his music were, in fact, cool. Finally, Sasha decided to study jazz instead of musical theater at the University of New Orleans, where her father headed the Jazz Studies Program.Now, Sasha and Steve love playing together and they treasure the common language jazz gives them. Both compose music, but while her father is more focused on traditional jazz and teaching, Sasha likes to produce music with more electronic trends than Steve’s. Despite different interests, Ste ve’s pride in his daughter is clear. Today, Sasha is known for her musicality and her ability to improvise. “Improvising scares a lot of singers, but for me I feel like a little composer again at the piano next to my dad. I love it in large part because of him,” Sasha says.4. What do we know about young Sasha?A.She was well-known as a jazz guitarist.B.She learned to compose when she’s little.C.She was good at improvising on a piano.D.She performed with her father worldwide.5. What does paragraph 4 stress about Sasha?A.Her preparation for a university.B.Her admiration for a jazz student.C.Her going back to jazz and her father.D.Her studying at a local arts high school.6. What makes Sasha different from her father?A.The style of her music.B.Her preference for the piano.C.Her opinion about improvising.D.The teaching method she sticks to.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Love of music leads to a career of uncertainty.B.Jazz deepens the bond between father and daughter.C.A daughter’s musical choice is made by her father.D.A musical family brings joy to millions of people.North Atlantic right whales now grow smaller than they did 40 years ago, and new research suggests a leading cause is the damage that human activity has done to the critically endangered species.The findings, published in the journal Current Biology, reveal that when fully grown, a North Atlantic right whale born today would be expected to be about one meter shorter than a whale born in 1980. Currently, full-grown members of the species average 13 to 14 meters in length. Researchers used high-resolution photographs to ’track size and body condition of 129 right whales. Their research indicated that a major reason for the animals’ recent growth problem is entanglement (缠绕) in rope and fishing equipment.North Atlantic right whales typically move up and down the Eastern seaboard, from Florida to Canada. In recent years, more than half the population can be found from late winter to early spring off the coast of Cape Cod, where they sail through a deadly maze (迷宫) of rope and fishing equipment.Entanglements in the equipment can lead to life-threatening infections, starvation, or drowning (溺水). Even when they don’t kill the whales, they can cause l ong-term harm, the researchers found. When the whales get caught in fishing equipment and end up dragging it around, it forces them to expend more energy fighting to survive, instead of growing or reproducing. Not only does entanglement contribute to reduced body size for an individual whale, but female North Atlantic right whales entangled while nursing produce smaller babies. That threatens the repopulation of a species with so few remaining members.In response, conservationists say managers of fishing grounds need to better manage the fishing grounds, whose equipment on the seafloor is considered the primary cause of entanglements. One potential answer is greater investment in the development and testing of ropeless fishing technology. “There is no time to wait,” researchers said. “The species can’t tolerate any further impacts, or it will have no future.”8. What can we learn about North Atlantic right whales?A.Overfishing slows their growth in size.B.They could grow to 15 meters long decades ago.C.They will soon become endangered due to human activity.D.Hundreds of them suffer from entanglement every year.9. Which aspect of the whales will be harmed by entanglement in the long run?A.Growth and reproduction. B.Disease resistance.C.Food-seeking. D.Breathing.10. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 5 refer to?A.Weight loss of nursing whales. B.Decline in the number of whales.C.Energy loss of individual whales. D.Smaller size of the whales.11. Which might help save North Atlantic right whales according to the text?A.Making ocean fishing completely unlawful.B.Banning the use of fishing equipment.C.Improving the seafloor environment.D.Investing more in rope-free fishing technology.It’s said that about one third of the world’s city citizens live in substandard housing. Researchers have created free plans available online for building homes using pre-made parts that fit together perfectly, which could hopefully help solve the housing problem.The world population is expected to grow to about 8.5 billion by 2030, and the housing situation in city is already a huge problem. Building new homes in the traditional ways still takes weeks or months.In a London neighborhood, a group of volunteers are constructing a house made of pre-made plywood panels (预制胶合板) and parts, the so-called WikiHouse. All parts were accurately cut in a Computer Numerical Control, or CNC machine, following a free plan downloaded from the Internet.Founder of the UK-based WikiHouse Foundation, architectural designer Alastair Parvin, said this could be the solution for affordable housing. He said, “WikiHouse is essentially a series of technologies we are developing aimed at simplifying the process of making environmental-friendly and high-perfo rmance houses to a point where almost anyone can do it.”Accurate cutting allows a perfect fit for all parts, which speeds up the process of constructing the house. No special tools are required. The WikiHouse was built in 10 days for exhibition purposes. Then, it was taken apart and repackaged elsewhere for long-term use.“Open-source software is now really established, and it drives a lot of the software we use,” Parvin said. “What’s happening now is that it’s coming into the world of physical things, so we are effectively building a kind of Wikipedia for physical materials.”Parvin says the project is in its early stages, with limited availability. But he says he believes it will grow as more people start showing interest in the houses whose construction doesn’t require special skills.12. What may be the main purpose of the technology?A.To speed up the process of building a house.B.To offer pre-made plywood panels to volunteers.C.To solve the housing problem of city residents.D.To handle the problem of rapid population growth.13. Which of the following is the advantage of the technology?A.It makes living conditions perfect.B.It depends on traditional ways.C.It makes houses more attractive.D.It saves time in building houses.14. What is Parvin’s attitude to the future of the project?A.Unfriendly. B.Positive. C.Doubtful. D.Uncaring.15. What’s the main idea of the text?A.We should pay attention to population problems.B.We need to establish more open-source software.C.A big company is producing parts to build houses.D.A new technology makes building houses easier.Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but finally not doing so well? You spent hours reviewing your notes, only to find your hard work doesn’t mak e you receive a grade you want. It’s not that you’re not smart. 16 If you want to study in an effective way, below are studying methods that may be suitable for you.Try explaining the concepts (概念) that you’re studying to family members or friends. 17 Because while you are explaining, you are forced to organize your thoughts and present the information in a clear way, which can also helps you reinforce your knowledge of the subject.Study with friends. If you’re able to stay focused, studying with a grou p might be more fun than studying alone. 18 It is possible that there’s something you miss or misunderstand, so hearing others’ opinions is very important. Pick possible test topics and hold discussions to gain understanding of these topics in different ways.Use flashcards. Flashcards are a great way to memorize important information! To make it more fun, write your flashcards using colorful pens and mark important parts.19 I personally use learning apps, where I can find very useful resources for foreign language studies. I’ve also used websites in the past. A lot of sites offer expensive versions, so be aware of which features are free.Try using some of these methods when you study for your next test, and see whether you’ve improved. Studying can be boring. 20 Don’t lose motivation, and you’ll succeed!Physical Education (PE) is a requirement for all kids in school.________ making kids do laps around a gym track, an alternative school in Iowa is________ their students to earn their physical education credits by helping disabled and senior citizens.At most traditional high schools, students can finish their PE course by________ sports or other after-school activities.

It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.On the platform, visitors can role-play and "time travel" to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program."In the digital age, the model of 'culture + technology' has been introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture.

The CCTV has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the divine deer, Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画) ."Digital collections are welcomed among young people, who grow up in the information age. They not only protect the cultural intellectual property (知识产权) but also bring the public closer to China's 'excellent traditional culture'," noted Dunhuang Art Institute.Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offering the public greater cultural experiences in the future.4.What can we know about the virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave?A.The Dunhuang Academy developed it secretly.B.Both time-traveling and gaming technologies were used in it.C.It was discovered in the 20th century with more than 60,000 cultural relics.D.People can have access to it through the Wechat mini program of Digital Dunhuang 5.According to iResearch, what has the model "culture+technology" been applied for?A.Showing the latest technologies in China.B.Helping cultural institutions make a profitC.Pushing the development of Chinese culture.D.Encouraging young people to explore Chinese cultural relics.6.How does the author introduce the success of digital collections in Paragraph 7?A.By listing numbers.B.By giving examples.C.By giving definitions.D.By making comparisons.7.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.China's new way in rebuilding Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave.B.China's interactive digital platform in developing Dunhuang culture.C.China's success in promoting the digitization rate of cultural relics.D.China's latest advances in the development of cultural intellectual property.Research led by an ecologist Bart Hoekstra shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year's Eve.The research studied how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. "Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. Wealready knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, "says Bart Hoekstra.Last year, a study discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend about 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 12 days. They apparently need time to restore their energy to their former condition, after escaping from the fireworks.Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius (半径) of 2.5 km of inhabited areas (居民区) , the effects of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. "Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects ofbirds live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance, " says Bart Hoekstra.People who argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live advise that fireworks should mainly be lit as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if people try to use light shows without sound, such as drone (无人机) shows instead of fireworks.8.How many aspects did the research mainly study?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.9.If geese normally spend 10 days looking for food, how long will they spend after escaping from the fireworks according to the study in Paragraph 3?A.About 11 days.B.About 12 days.C.About 13 days.D.About 14 days.10.What does the underlined word "pronounced" in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Adaptable.B.Noticeable.C.Admirable.D.Avoidable.11.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Anxious in The Air!B.Amazing Fireworks-free Zones!C.Fireworks in The World!D.Birds Throughout The Country!Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. "We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community, says the project's executive director Stephany Blanco." A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. "At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town, "Melissa Whitbeck said. "The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people's mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from."12.What problem did Santa Catarina Palopó face?A.A labor shortage.B. Poor economic conditions.C.A rapid increase in population.D. Outdated agricultural technology.13.What is the project about?A.Building art galleries in Guatemala.B.Creating job opportunities for local artisans.C.Developing local tourism by selling artworks.D.Transforming the town into a cultural destination.14.What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project?A.The nearby lake.B.Mayan-styled butterflies.C.A type of traditional clothing.D.The national bird of Guatemala.15.What is Melissa's attitude towards the project?A.Positive.B.Uncaring.C.Confused.D.Disappointed.二、七选五16.We're getting more used to chatting to our computers and smart phones through all kinds of voice assistants. ①_______ People who can't read or write can send and get information using the spoken web.Some think voice could soon become the main way to interact online.

AOn Sunday morning,after listening to a sermon(布道) about making “A World of Difference”, we stopped at the gas station for a snack and drinks.When we pulled in to the parking lot we noticed a young girl sitting on the road. She was outside in January , in the Midwest, with only a sweatshirt. No coat or gloves. She didn’t look very happy.I approached her and asked if she was okay. She said yes and told me that she had run out of gas down the road, walked to the gas station, and was now waiting for someone to bring her a gas can and a little money so she could get her car running again. By the look on her face I thought she had been waiting for a while.I,hesitantly,asked if we could give her a lift somewhere . I was fearful that she might be worried about our intentions. She graciously(有礼貌地) refused and said she would simply wait.I went inside the gas stati on to pick up the items we had come for, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the young girl sitting outside in the cold and wished I could do something to help her. So I bought a gift certificate for her. With it she could either buy the gasoline she said she needed or she could at least go inside and purchase a drink and some food to keep her warm while she waited for someone to come to get her.She was so surprised when I handed her the gift certificate.Walking away I got the feeling that help didn’t come her way very often. She was very thankful for the gift certificate --- but I thought it did just as much to lift my spirits as it did hers!21. Why did the young girl wait on the road?A. Because she waited for her friends.B. Because her gas had given out and she waited for someone to help her.C. Because she wanted to buy some food.D. Because she wanted to borrow some money.22. Where did the author go on Sunday morning?A: The nursing home. B. The shop. C. The hospital. D. The church.23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. People often helped the young girl.B. The author regretted having helped the young girl later.C. The young girl seldom helped others.D. People seldom helped the young girl like the author.24. How did the author help her?A. The author bought her a certificate that she needed.B. The author helped her to borrow the gas.C. The author bought her some food and drinks.D. The author bought her a coat.BGood relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive,it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making relationships work.It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship-knowing the right thing to say,when to say it,how to say it,and accepting some things that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work,from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him or her all the time. You and your friends come from different family backgrounds,raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and there. However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise(妥协)at times are essential.As relationships last longer, you may also discover things about you and your friends that you may not have known before. Therefore,supporting each other on both your "hidden selves" can also make a good relationship.Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me,I always believe that love needs open communication, respect,support and understanding each other in making relationships work.25. The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 1 probably meansA. upsettingB. surprisingC. funnyD. helpless26. To communicate well with people, you should know thatA. your friends need to have the same backgrounds with youB. compromises are essential at any timeC. a white lie is necessary sometimesD. supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship27. According to the text,which of the following are important for a good relationship'?a. communicationb. supportc. hidden selvesd. loveA. abdB. acdC. bcdD. abc28. What would be the best title for the text ?A. The importance to express disagreementsB. Forbidden rules in building good relationshipsC. Different opinions on good relationshipsD. Keys to making relationships workCSpeaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的)task to another, something that's known to take longer for older adults, said the lead researcher, Brian Gold,a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.Gold's team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults,knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However,they found older adults speaking two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those who didn't. The study only looked at lifelong bilinguals(会说两种语言的人),defined in the study as peoplespeaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.First,Gold and his team asked 30 people,either bilingual or monolingual,to look at a series of colored shapes and respond with the name of each shape by pushing a button. Then,they presented the participants with a similar series of colored shapes and asked them to respond with what colors the shapes were by pushing a button. Finally,they presented participants with a series of colored shapes, but they mixed prompts(提词) for either a shape or a color to test participants' task-switching time.The bilingual people were able to respond faster to the moving prompts. Researchers found bilingual people~not only able to switch tasks faster一they had different brain activities compared with their monolingual peers.Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment",because people grow up speaking two languages,and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.Gold said he grew up in Montreal,where he spoke French at school and English at home,prompting relatives to question whether his French language attention would somehow stop his ability to learn English.“Until recently,learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous,”he said, “Actually, it's beneficial.”29. Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment" becauseA. people speaking two languages are beautifulB. people speaking two languages are naturalC. people speaking two languages like the experimentD. people grow up, benefiting from speaking two languages30. Gold's relatives were puzzled when he spoke French at school and English at home becauseA. they thought it would affect his progressB. they thought it would be of little help to himC. they were afraid that learning French would affect his English learningD. they thought that French was useless31. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Researchers found bilingual people respond slowly.B. Researchers found bilinguals can slow down the speed of aging on the brain and respond fast.C. Researchers found bilinguals are great.D. Researchers found speaking two languages is very important.32. We can learn from the last paragraph that learning a second language in childhood isA. not beneficial to childrenB. dangerous but beneficial to childrenC. not dangerous but beneficial to childrenD. dangerous to childrenDJanelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, sh e wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.33.It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.A.Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at workB.Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily workC.Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearanceD.Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all34.What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A.We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.B.We are careful enough in daily life.C.We all have done something creative.D.We all have done loads of things like Janelle.35.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?A.Be creative. B.Do things right.C.Stick to old ways. D.A bad beginning makes a bad ending.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing(抑制) anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙),They speed the heart rate,raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ____37_____. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease,and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize thereal cause of the anger,then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is, they say,“ 39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that hasmade you angry. 40____.A. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.B. Anger may cause you a cancerC. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.D. They say that laughter is much healthier than anger.E. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.F. Do not express your anger while angry.G.

The Internet brings us many advantages.With the Internet, people can send and receive e-mails. On the Internet, people can skim over news. Using the Telnet, the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account. It is possible to use the FTP program to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another.But the Internet also brings us troubles.Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological (心理的) health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often, the two-year study showed. And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completelyopposite to what they had expected.
