In the Cambridgeshire village where he is currently working, it is easy to spot a thatched cottage.Chris guides me to a couple of chairs where we can talk. “There is no thatching without mess,” he says cheerfully. “A rethatch takes my assistant and me around 10 weeks, so it’s important that customers feel comfortable having us around,” he says.Chris is also sensitive to the cultural heritage (遗产) of his craft (手艺). “If you ask tourists to think of traditional English things, they will probably say thatched cottages and afternoon tea.” In the past 200 years, little has changed in terms of technique. “My great-grandfather would recognize the methods we use,” says Chris.Though the principles of the craft are simple, they are hard to perfect. “Every roof is different; the skill of a good thatcher is adapting the material to a cottage so that it looks neat and smooth.” Individual craftsmen also develop their styles. “I can drive around, see a“One might expect the industry to be in decline. On the contrary, there is a surprisingly healthy demand for new-builds. In addition, 97 percent of thatched properties are listed, so they have to remain thatched and be rethatched. The National Society of Master Thatchers has around 150 members and most of the thatchers who retire are replaced by young thatc hers,” Chris adds.4．Which word can best describe Chris according to paragraph 2?A. Considerate.B. Courageous.C. Cool-minded.D. Strong-willed.5．What does Chris tell us about thatched cottages?A. They are typically English.B. They can be built in the pouring rain.C. Their appearance has changed greatly.D. Their building methods differ from those of the past.6．What does Chris suggest by saying “So-and-so did that”?A. Craftsmen are not fond of learning.B. Different thatchers have different styles.C. Thatchers adopt new principles of the craft.D. Craftsmen make ridges with unique functions.7．How would Chris feel about thatchers’ future?A. It will be embarrassing.B. It will be uncertain.C. It will be stressful.D. It will be promising.An era in which an Alzheimer’s diagnosis can begin in a doctor’s office is now arriving. The new technology can detect early signs of disease from a blood sample, which is helping doctors to identify the memory-robbing disorder more accurately.Last fall, a blood test developed by C2N Diagnostics in St. Louis, Mo. , became available to most of the U.S. as a routine lab test. It has also received a CE mark as a diagnostic medical device in the European Union —indicating it has met safety, health and environmental protection standards for the region.The C2N test, called PrecivityAD, uses an analytic technique to detect specific types of B-amyloid, a protein fragment that is a pathological (病理学的) feature of disease. B-amyloid proteins accumulate and form plaques (斑块) visible on brain scans two decades before a patient notices memory problems. As plaques build up in the brain, levels of ß-amyloid decline in the surrounding fluid.Such changes can be measured in spinal fluid (脊髓液) samples — and now in blood, where ß-amyloid concentrations are significantly lower. PrecivityAD is the first blood test forcould enable early detection of the leading disease — perhaps decades before the onset of the first symptoms.8．According to the passage, which can help doctors identify Alzheimer’s?A. hair.B. blood.C. skin.D. tongue. 9．What is the function of B-amyloid in the brain?A. To decline in the surrounding fluid.B. To form plaques visible on brain scans.C. To accumulate and cause memory problems.D. To serve as a pathological feature of disease.10．What does the underlined word “assays” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Tests.B. Trials.C. Treatments.D. Analysis. 11．What does the author think of the PrecivityAD?A. Indifferent.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Pessimistic.Americans do not believe their personal information is safe online, suggests findingsfrom a new poll (民意调查). They are also not satisf ied with the federal government’s efforts to protect such information.The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and Meri Talk did the polling. It found that 64 percent of Americans say their social media activity is not secure. About as many have the same safety concerns about online information that shares their physical location. Half of Americans also believe their private text messages are not secure.They are not just concerned. They want the federal government to do something about it. Almost 75 percent of Americans say they support creating laws for how companies can collect, use and share personal data.A majority of those who took part in the poll said they have more trust in private companies than the federal government to address security and privacy issues. This comes even after years of hacks (黑客) of U. S. corporations that shared the personal information of millions of people around the world.The poll answers showed that about 71 percent of Americans believe that individ uals’ data privacy should be treated as a national security issue. But only 23 percent are satisfied with the federal government’s current efforts.The law follows similar measures passed in California and Virginia, and gives people the right to find and delete personal information. Colorado’s law also permits people to choose out of having their data tracked and sold. Facebook and other companies opposed the bill.The poll showed that protecting personal information online is “an area where people do see a direct role in government,” Benz said.12．What percentage of Americans think their private text messages are not safe?A. 36 percent.B. 50 percent.C. 64 percent.D. 75 percent.13．What do almost 75 percent of Americans support according to the poll?A. Creating laws for companies to deal with personal data.B. Allowing personal data to be treated as a business issue.C. Giving private companies more control over data privacy.D. Trusting the federal government to fix the problem for them.14．Who do Americans have more trust in to solve security and privacy issues?A. Themselves.B. Social media platforms.C. Private companies.D. The federal government.15．What is the best title for the text?A. Americans are not safe online.B. Americans are trying to protect themselves online.C. Americans have little trust in the federal government.D.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Venice, one of Europe’s most historical, romantic, and unique cities, is in danger of drowning — not in one of its famed canals but under the weight of people. Since 1980, there have been more tourists than residents in V enice and right at present the number 13 (climb) rapidly. As tourists arrive, so do businesses to support them. Small, local stores are being replaced by souvenir shops and fast-food joints; Lately, accommodations 14 (transform) to Airbnbs, driving the cost of living here forever upwards. As locals leave the city, the vacuum (真空) is filled with yet 15 (much) tourist investment and before you know it, the charm and culture of old Venice that attracted us here in the first place has been transformed and lost. It’s no wonder that 16 World Heritage Committee has made a plan to add “Venice and its Lagoon” to its World Heritage in Danger list.Venice is not alone. Croatian favourite Dubrovnik, with history and cultural excellence, is suffering the same fate. There were 5,000 residents in 1991, but in 2017 only 1,157 people were living in the Old Town 17 it became overcrowded with tourists and businesses flooding to them. Dubrovnik is a convenient stop for cruise ships moving around the waters of the Adriatic and its popularity has grown further following the success of Game of Thrones, 18 was filmed there.Many popular locations have started to apply strategies 19 (fight) the rising tide of tourism using a combination of legislation and financial instruments. Barcelona is limiting the number of licenses for tourist accommodation 20 reducing the number of cruise ships allowed to dock (停泊). A smaller number of tourists are allowed to visit the Old Town and 21 will need to pay a city entry fee. The tourist tax is being increased to a price higher than 22 (expect). Venice has recently introduced a tourist fee to discourage day-trippers.三、选词填空Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can beWhat makes the perfect winter read?As the weather turns and the sky darkens, autumn and winter can often feel like the perfect time for curling up with a good book.But I wonder if it’s just me who finds that my reading 23 seem to change along with the seasons? The books I might choose to read in some sunny garden are very different from the ones I want when the wind is blowing outside and a few precious hours of watery daylight are the best we can hope for.I always 24 writing that evokes (唤起) time and place, and in the midst of the coldest, darkest part of the year, I want more than ever for a book to be “a ball of light” in my hands, as Ezra Pound famously once put it — a(n) 25 of life and love.I also need a certain degree of comfortness in a winter read — something that will keep me warm when the weather won’t! Give me gothic (哥特式的) building in the snow, with heroines whose passions burn brightly. Or let me escape completely, into some fantasy 26 — but I’d still like my forests icy and pine smelling. Give me stories of 27 and re-birth. Remind me that this time of year has 28 , too.Katherine May’s beautiful, poetic deep thought on the season, Wintering, does precisely this. Seemingly, it’s 29 , combining aspects of her life with more universal thoughts on how we might winter well. But there’s a lyrical (抒情的), 30 quality to the writing that confuses plain concepts like “genre”. She 31 that in winter we need different tools to get us through the season and it also offers one such tool, since Wintering itself is the perfect guide book and 32 to see you through until spring.That’s why books that help me see the beauty of the season will always be high on my list of winter reads.四、完形填空Robot PetsIn July, Unitree, a Chinese company, launched Go2, its second-generation robotic dog.Priced from $1,270, this robot pet can walk, perform handstands, and take photographs. Equipped with a smart speaker, it responds to voice commands. Go2 joins the market as the latest in a series of attempts by scientists to create machines that can do everything a real animal does — and leave a lot less mess to 33 afterwards.The first robot dog available to buy was Sony’s AIBO. Released in 1999, AIBO was a(n) 34 hit — 3000 units sold in just under 20 minutes in Japan. Its name is a 35 of “artificial intelligence” and “robot”. AI is a computer programme that can learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human 36 . AIBO was discontinued in 2006, but went back on sale in 2017.With cameras for eyes, AIBO 37 obstacles and safely explores its surroundings. Voice-recognition technology enables it to turn its head to face a person when they speak, and even identify different voices. 38 , the dog has been programmed to respond to physical contact, such as touching its back or patting its head — just the way a real-life puppy would react. AIBO also “ 39 ” over time, and its behaviour changes as it develops from a playful puppy into an adult.Electronic pets are 40 toys for children, though. They can be valuable companions for older people, too. In 2022, a study by the University of Plymouth found that robot 41 could improve the wellbeing of elderly people who live in care homes and also those suffering from a condition that affects the brain. They found that the cute robots can provide all the emotional benefits of a real animal, without any of the work that comes with taking care of one.As technology develops, robot pets will become 42 advanced. Whether or not they take the place of living, breathing, barking and purring pets in our homes remains to be seen.33．A．clean up B．get into C．sort out D．centre around 34．A．delayed B．instant C．gradual D．tricky 35．A．renew B．reunion C．combination D．representation 36．A．strength B．intelligence C．responsibility D．appreciation 37．A．detects B．signals C．overcomes D．processes 38．A．For instance B．By contrast C．What’s more D．After all 39．A．varies B．fades C．adjusts D．matures 40．A．more than B．nothing but C．no more than D．less than41．A．participation B．attempts C．design D．companions 42．A．literally B．increasingly C．ironically D．relevantly五、阅读理解A short period of sleep taken during the day is known as a nap. Naps don’t just have benefits for adults at work, though. They could also help pupils to make the most of their school day. Studies have shown that a 20 to 30-minute “beauty sleep” makes people more alert and focused. This improves people’s ability to remember new information, which would help school children concentrate during lessons. Experts say that napping also improves brain functions, such as memory and the ability to complete difficult tasks.The school day starts early, which means that pupils don’t always get enough sleep because there’s no chance to have a lie-in. Adding naptime during the school day would help exhausted pupils to make up for any sleep they’ve lost from getting up so early.There are long-term benefits to taking a short nap, too. According to a recent study from University College London, the brains of people who have regular naps are bigger than those who don’t. People’s brains naturally shrink when they grow old, and the results showed that little sleeps can help people’s brains to age more slowly.Although a nap can seem like a good idea, going to sleep for too long can actually make you feel worse. It’s not very pleasant to wake up from a daytime nap feeling confused and sleepy. Napping during the day can also have a negative impact on how well you sleep at night. This can create a cycle of not being able to sleep as well at night, leaving you feeling even more tired in the daytime. Sleep expert Dr Clete Kushida said, “It’s generally recommended to maximize sleep at night.”Another consideration is that there really isn’t time in the school day for pupils to go to sleep.

A river can push you and your boat downstream, sometimes quickly, and waves crashing into you at the beach can knock you back, or even knock you over.This energy of moving water originates from the water cycle, where water evaporates or is released from plants, rises to higher sea level, cools, and changes into liquid, forming clouds. Rain or snow that falls from these clouds flows downhill due to gravity, forming rivers or melting into existing water paths.Hydropower (水电) uses this energy from flowing water. It uses turbines, which are turned by moving water. These turbines turn around a rotor inside a device called generator, turning the motion into electricity with the help of magnets.There are two primary types of hydropower facilities (设施). The first is called the run-of-the-river facilities, which channel river water through turbines. The electricity production follows the timing of the river flow. When a river is running full with lots ofspring rain or meltwater, the turbine can produce more electricity. Later in the summer, when the river flow decreases, so does the turbine’s output. These types of power stations are typically small and easy to build, but there is limited ability to control the amount of electricity they produce.The second type is the dam (大坝)-based facilities. These use a solid dam to hold back the flow of a river and create an artificial lake behind it. The dam operator releases water from his lake, which flows through pipes inside the dam. Turbines within the dam generate electricity as the water passes through them, and then the water flows out the other side. These facilities are usually large and can affect river habitats, but they can also produce a lot of electricity in a controllable manner.Hydropower depends on the availability of water in flowing rivers. As climate change affects the water cycle, some regions may have less rainfall and therefore less hydropower generation. Since hydropower is a form of renewable electricity, it can play a role in limiting climate change. Hydropower facilities can also help avoid any imbalance in electricity production from wind farms and solar power plants.47．The underlined word “evaporate” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”A．form a circle B．turn into a gasC．fall to the ground D．change into liquid48．According to paragraph 3, which of the following words best fits the box with “?” in the picture of a hydropower setup?A．turbine B．magnet C．pipe D．rotor 49．What can we learn about the two basic types of hydropower facilities mentioned in the passage?A．Only dam-based facilities use water to generate electricity and they are easy toconstruct.B．Electricity production by the run-of-the-river facilities doesn’t vary with river flow.C．Dam-based facilities provide a more considerable and adjustable electricity supply.D．Run-of-the-river facilities have a larger impact on river habitats than dam-basedfacilities.50．What is the author’s attitude towards hydropower?A．Optimistic B．Critical C．Doubtful D．IndifferentKeeping a bit of the outdoors inside is nothing new, but houseplant collections have become a popular social media trend — which means that more people than ever are discovering the comfort and beauty that caring for plants brings.51 Exposure to greenery, whether you have indoor plants, take walks outside or tend to a garden, has been found to have multiple mental-health benefits, such as lowering stress, decreasing feelings of depression, increasing sociability, restoring focus, improving cognitive performance, improving mood and increasing self-esteem.“One study showed that patients at a hospital who had plants in their room reported less pain, lower blood pressure, less fatigue and less anxiety than patients without plants in their rooms,” says Jenny Seham, a New York-based psychologist. She explains: “Cortisol, the stress hormone, has been shown to lower with plant interaction, reducing fatigue, irritability (易怒) and blood pressure.”Research has also shown that having plants and gardening increase productivity and levels of serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for lifting our mood. 52 And it is also opposed to dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.Before you fill your space with greenery, consider how you’ll interact with your plants.53 Can you care for them daily?If you have a small space or aren’t sure how much time you’re willing to invest in “plant parenting.” Start slow. “ 54 It can engage you by its smell or colour, creating a positive mood response with every interaction,” says Seham.A．For instance, is there enough space for plants in areas where you spend a lot of time?B．Half the fun of gardening is that you never know exactly what’s going to come up.C．It’s a feel-good hobby that’s supported by science.D．While indoor gardening can boost your feelings of wellbeing, help reduce stress and promote relaxation, it’s not, of course, a substitute for a trained mental health professional.E．The theory is that plant care helps us focus on the present moment and provides a feeling of accomplishment.F．Just one plant can make a difference.六、完成句子七、翻译60．应该采取积极措施来防止疾病蔓延。

This will help you determine age limits as well as the number of hours you can expect to work per week.It’s also important to consider the requiremen ts or experience needed for the position as well as the location and schedule. Aside from typical part-time jobs like working as a barista (咖啡馆服务员), delivering pizzas, serving in a restaurant, or working for a fast-food chain, here are some other part-time job ideas for teens: Babysitter, Catering staff, Grocery store stocker or cashier, Receptionist or customer service representative, etc.Pros and Cons of Part-Time Jobs for TeensWhen determining whether or not a part-time job is right for you, it can help to weigh the pros and cons before making a final decision.

Once again, Scott’s craftsmanship (技艺) is on show here, but it’s in service of a deeply shallow screenplay. A great actor is reduced to a ghostly presence in the middle of the movie, and his partner, the character who needs to give the film a beating heart, comes off as flat and hollow.One of the problems is that the film script tries to put a lot of life into the running time of a single film. Naturally, it opens during the French Revolution, as Napoleon climbs up the political ladder of France with his war talents above all else.Another part of the problem is that Kirby, the leading actress never really understands what to play with Josephine, a mysterious celebrity (名人) who becomes too much of a mirror for Napoleon. She couldn’t give Napoleon a son, which resulted in their break-up.Was Napoleon the kind of world leader whose own unsafety resulted in killings we have seen in histo ry? That’s here in a few places, but Scott is uninterested in making any sort of statement about Napoleon or men like him. A very just-the-facts approach of “Napoleon” is incredibly disappointing for a filmmaker who usually finds so much depth in the stories he tells. Worst of all, by the time “Napoleon” gets to Waterloo, we don’t know much more about the main character than we did when we came in. That’s a problem.Having said that, the wonderful war scenes in “Napoleon” may be enough to prove its existenc e for fans of historical war films. Whether its bloodied bodies breaking through ice or waves of soldiers rushing into battle, “Napoleon” has some fantastic battle scenes. Maybe the point is that Napoleon Bonaparte was only truly alive when surrounded by so much death.4. How do you understand the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 1?A．Solid. B．Deep. C．Empty. D．Smooth.5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 to 4?A．The film successfully covers Napoleon’s whole life.B．Kirby has a good understanding of how to play Josephine.C．People couldn’t know Napoleon better through this film.D．There are some outstanding features of “Napoleon”.6. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A．The successful battle scenes in “Napoleon”.B．The achievements of Napoleon Bonaparte.C．The wars Napoleon Bonaparte fighting in.D．The reason for Napoleon Bonaparte’s aliveness.7. What type of writing is this text?A．A news report. B．A film review.C．A historical document. D．A science fiction.The Longtaitou Festi vl, which means “dragon-raises head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So, it’s also called Eryueer Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉利的) animal that dominates clouds and rains. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Heads-raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think these credits (功劳) go to the dragon. So the day is also called Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), Chinese people have had the custom of spending the Spring Dragon Festival.The most popular custom on the Dragon Heads-raising Day is cutting hair. Dragon is highly honored for its dignity (尊贵) and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on the Dragon Heads-raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year. So, on that day, barbershops’ (理发店的) businesses are growing and full of customers.The most common foods for celebrating the festival are popcorns, pancakes, noodles, dumplings, fired soy beans and pig’s head. People in different areas have differe nt traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing, people eat Lvdagunr (Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour) and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi, people like to eat fried dough twists (油条) and pancakes. In Shandong, fried soy beans, noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou, the salted porridge made of glutinous rice, celery, scallion, garlic, fry dried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten. These show people’s hope to be blessed (保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.8. Which of the following is true about the Longtaitou Festival?A．It dates back to Song Dynasty.B．It is celebrated for two days.C．It attracts fewer people than other festivals.D．It suggests the return of spring.9. Why do people cut hair on the Dragon Heads-raising Day?A．It is the most popular custom.B．It is in honor of dragon’s dignity and power.C．It is people’s wish for luck and opportunities.D．It is a sign of barbershops’ prospering businesses.10. What can we infer from the third paragraph about the Longtaitou Festival?A．People in China share the similar traditional foods on he day.B．Foods for celebrating the festival usually bear people’s best wishes.C．Salted foods are used to celebrate the festival throughout China.D．Traditional foods on the day are prepared for the dragon to eat.11. What might be the best title for the text?A．The Dragon Heads-raising Day.B．The celebrations of the Longtaitou Festival.C．The origin of the Longtaitou Festival.D．The purpose of the Dragon Heads-raising Day.Should martial arts be part of the school curriculum (课程)? In the United States and most of Europe, self-defense is not taught at schools. Yes, schools have after-school clubs with trainers from both inside and outside the school using the gyms and classroom to teach a big range of martial arts, but schools very rarely have it on their curriculum, let alone as a main subject.But after new research that shows that obesity (肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline (自律).Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem (自尊). Through the arts, students can develop discipline, and cultivate respect for different cultures-something even moreimportant than ever before in our increasingly divided societies. Martial arts also strengthen muscles,improves flexibility and balance. Everyone knows that with better physical health, come better, happier lives.However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified (合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge. They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory (强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo (武术馆) to find out. But to bring it to everyone you need experienced trainers who can teach the martial arts without fear of mishap (不幸事故) or physical damage.12. What’s the topic of this text?A．What martial arts are.B．Whether martial arts should be on school curriculum.C．Who should teach martial arts as a main subject at school.D．How martial arts work for schools.13. Why should martial arts be added into the curriculum?A．Self-defense is not taught at schools.B．Obesity levels are still rising fast in the world.C．It provides physical and mental benefits.D．It can help prevent physical damage.14. What are the “chicken” and the “egg” in the “a chicken and egg situation” in the last paragraph?A．Building a dojo and finding the trainers..B．Teaching martial arts and the physical damage.C．Lack of trainers and the fear of mishap.D．Lack of trainers and no compulsory curriculum of martial arts.15. What is the author’s attitude towards adding martial arts to the curriculum?A．Unclear. B．Uninterested. C．Disliking. D．Negative.Even small amounts of processed meat can greatly raise your cancer risk, the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) writes. The WCRF update their guidelines every decade, and in this one, they outline three main problems: tobacco, red processed meat, and alcohol (酒精). 16 Almost half of all cancer cases are preventable, they write, and the most straightforward way is through a healthy diet. But what does that mean?No smoking17 While this is not strictly a part of a healthy diet, smoking has long been proven to cause a wide variety of cancers, as well as increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases and other serious health issuesAvoid alcoholDecades ago, people thought that you could enjoy alcohol in low to moderate quantities without causing a health risk. Recent research seems to suggest that even in low quantities, drinking alcohol can greatly increase, your risk of cancer. 18 So, better avoid it.Red meatThe list wouldn’t be complete without red meat. As other studies before it, the WCRF report further emphasizes that red meat is also associated with an important rise in cancer risk, especially processed red meat. 39. 19 No amount of processed red meat is safe if you want to minimize your risk of cancer.The findings don’t necessarily offer something －they just repeat what mountains of research are already saying: if you want to avoid, cancer, you need to eat more things that are good for you, less of the things that are harmful to you, and be at least somewhat physically fit. 20After a decade of climbing, I gradually started free soloing (单人徒手攀岩).

陕西省榆林市2023-2024学年高一上学期1月期末英语试题
陕西省榆林市2023-2024学年高一上学期1月期末英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Several Musts for the New TermWith a new university term looking for either returning or new students, here are some musts to consider for the school year ahead.Storage bag with handlesWhether you’re a freshman or returning for a new year, you have to move to your university. This is where moving boxes come in, but if you’d rather not be troubled by luggage, these storage bags are a nice choice. They have strong handles and keep water out.Led alarm clockMake sure you wake up on time for all of your lectures with this LED alarm clock. It’s also multi-functional, doubling up as a mirror that you can use through the day. It has one USB port, as well as a wall hook and a stand for keeping it upright.Trouser hangerWe’ve all been there, not having quite enough room for your clothes and wondering how you can magically fit more clothes into the same space. In University the problem is worse, but this simple hanger set can conveniently hold jeans, trousers, skirts and more, helping to ease this common problem.Mini humidifier(增湿器)Humidifiers don’t often get talked about too much in terms of things that would be good to have in a bedroom, but there are benefits to having them. They make the room air properly wet to aid with dry skin, nose and throat issues and improve sleep.View it at Amazon●If you show interest in the goods above, you can click the link to know more about them.1．The alarm clock can also be used to________.A．make up B．watch videos C．monitor health D．make calls 2．Which is helpful for improving sleep?A．The alarm clock.B．The trouser hanger.3．Where can we probably read the passage?A．In a sports magazine.B．In a chemical paper.C．On a website.D．In a textbook.Do you like travelling? No matter travelling alone, with friends, or with a tour group, they all have advantages and disadvantages.The best thing about travelling alone is that you can do what you want to do. No waiting around in places you aren’t interested in, no missing a bus because your friend was late. Your experience will be greatly improved by travelling alone. The main worry is loneliness, but believe me, it’s not difficult to talk to and meet people. Just remember everyone is on the same boat; everyone wants to meet new people, have fun and be friendly! There’s a problem of safety in some countries, especially for women travelling alone. You should always check the foreign office of your country for advice on safety. Buying a personal alarm is a good idea for women travelling alone.Travelling with a friend does sound nice, but it depends on how well you get on: If you have similar interests or travel ideas, it should be wonderful. You will find it much cheaper to cook food in developed countries and share a room. However, a lot of people I meet travelling together don’t seem to be having as much fun and often go their separate ways.Tours are great when they go well. Some of my best memories have been with tour groups. The key there is when they go well. A terrible tour guide, quiet group and terrible food can ruin our time. My advice would be never to do a tour that is too long especially in countries with safety problems or poor transport.All in all, travelling alone is the best, but it is good to mix it up. Invite a friend from home to meet you for a few weeks. Try a tour or two—some people love them—perhaps start with a day tour.4．How many ways of travelling are mentioned in the passage?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five. 5．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A．Other travellers have to learn boating with you.B．Other travellers will help you make a boat.C．Other travellers have similar feelings to yours.6．What’s the author’s suggestion on travelling with friends?A．Don’t be late for the tour bus.B．Always listen to others’ travel ideas.C．Cook food when travelling in developing countries.D．Choose those who have common interests with you.7．Which of the following may the author agree with?A．We can try different ways of travelling.B．Travelling with friends is more interesting than with a tour.C．It is not necessary to get an alarm when travelling alone.D．A terrible tour guide won’t affect the trip much.You can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English when you meet one. Many language leaners know that native speakers say a lot of things that you can’t find in a dictionary. Well, here’s a secret for you: A lot of British people can’t understand each other either!Across the UK, a number of regions have different dialects—that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There are many different accents in London, because it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. Language and accents also vary across social class and level of education. Hence the recent rise of a new accent coined at the end of the 20th century—“Multicultural London English”.Other factors are also important in the invention of new accents and ways of speaking. These include the influence of people from different ethnic backgrounds and different age groups, too.“Yoof culture” is an example. The word “yoof” is a slang spelling of “youth”. Young people are creating their own language, concepts and identity. By using words that their parents don’t understand, children can talk about things that their parents might not approve of. For example, instead of saying something like “That’s good!” or “I understand”, yoof will use a single adjective like “Safe!”, or “Sorted!” Besides, Yoof would use “kind-a-thing,” or “sort-a-thing” to replace “if you understand what I’m saying”. In this way, they are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.As learners of English, we may wonder how well we can talk to a native speaker, butshows that 94 percent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken among non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “international English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker. The UK no longer owns the English language. 8．What’s the function of Paragraph 1?A．To share a story.B．To make a comparision.C．To show the author’s experience.D．To introduce the topic.9．Which of the following statements about “Multicultural London English” is TRUE?A．It’s now spoken by people around the world.B．It was invented by Londoners in the 1900s.C．It’s a modern accent that crosses educational divides.D．It’s a dialect specific to a particular social class.10．What does “Sorted!” mean in “yoof culture”?A．Watch out.B．I see.C．My pleasure.D．Hurry up. 11．What does the author want to tell us?A．Don’t worry if you cannot understand native speakers.B．Learning English well is very easy.C．Languages are always changing.D．It is important to communicate with a native speaker.Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list.This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded (反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling.

Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the two passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)How to Water PlantsAll plants need water. The watering of plants plays a major role in helping plants grow healthily. It seems simple but actually requires many considerations.Let’s take a close look at the water plants need first. Plants (21)_________ grow in places with low rainfall require more water. And plants (22)_________ ability to adjust themselves to dry conditions is strong can live with less watering.When it comes to tools, a garden pipe (管子) long enough to reach the furthest part of the garden (23)_________ (prefer). This ensures enough water is provided for the plants and helps to make watering much (24)_________ (easy).An inexperienced gardener may water a little each time but several times a day. This is undesirable (25)_________ it does not help roots to grow deep. Besides, we’d better avoid watering in full sun (26)_________ the leaves won’t lose water quickly from the surface.(B)18th Birthday in ChinaIn China many people celebrate their 18th birthday as an important one because that suggests coming of age, which is (27)_________ term used to describe the transition between childhood and adulthood. It marks the beginning (28)_________ a young person is expected to have the related rights and responsibilities of adulthood.In ancient China, the coming-of-age ceremony was an important ritual for a child that was going to set foot (29)_________ the grown-up world. It dates back to the Zhou Dynasty and bas a history of over 2,000 years. According to the records in Liji, boys would participate in a capping ceremony when they (30)_________ (be) 20, and girls a hair-pinning ceremony at the age of 15.After the ceremony, they were considered adults and (31)_________ get married. According to the book, human beings are human because of all the rituals and polite behaviors. But polite behaviors won’t start (32)_________ people are properly dressed, so during these ceremonies, boys and girls would ritualistically put on carefully-prepared hats and hair accessories (发饰) to show that they are formally dressed for the adulthood.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Go RecyclingNo one looking at the state of Earth in 2023 can be in any doubt that we are facing three serious environmental problems: climate problem, loss of biodiversity (生物多样性) and pollution of air, soil and water. To solve the problems, we increase the use of electric cars, 33 greener eating and reduce plastic use. However, sometimes these solutions can be opposite to the expected goals. For instance, creating space for biofuel crops to give off fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases can, in fact, 34 increase the cutting down of trees. That means in most cases solutions aiming at one problem each time are 35 to be effective. And, what is perhaps lacking is a(n) 36 of how interlinked these problems are.We should realize that a key 37 linking al the three problems is waste. The root cause of global warming is CO2, a waste gas. The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products. We 38 forests, among other things, to grow more food — much of which goes to waste.A shocking figure lies at the heart of our special report on our world — of the more than 100 billion tons of things that humans use each year, hardly 10% is recycled. That makes it obvious a full-range war on waste should be paid 39 attention. The situation requires our speedy moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw” — towards a more recyclable one, which means we should begin 40 the products and when they reach the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled.Solving the three problems calls for a huge transition with joint efforts. Governments must take the lead by introducing laws with the purpose of rewarding green practices, such as the 41 of waste. Industries can reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible, and 42 themselves with suppliers and the like-minded to realize recyclable business models.Ⅱ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Listening, speaking, reading and writing are necessary to everyday life, where language is the primary tool for expression and communication. Studying how people use language — what words and phrases we unknowingly 43 — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do.Linguists attempt to 44 what is individual and general about the language we use. They also try to find how it came into use and the ways it 45 over time. After researches, they consider language as a cultural, social and mental thing.“Understanding why and how languages are different from one another tells about what is human, and in contrast, discovering what’s 46 about languages can help us understand the heart of our humanity,” said Dan Jurafsky, the Professor in Humanities and chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford.The stories below show some of the ways linguists have 47 many parts of language.Stanford linguists have found that even the smallest differences in language use is 48 the speakers’ belief,according to research. One study finds that a(n) 49 harmless sentence, such as “girls are as good as boys at math,” can in some way reflect sexist stereotypes (性别刻板印象). The statement’s grammatical form suggests that being good at math is more 50 for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a(n) 51 role in showing how we and others understand the worldStudying other languages helps us have a better understanding of 52 around the world. People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there are a lot of similar things among languages, each one is 53 , both in its structure and in the way it reflects the culture of the people who speak it. Jurafsky advised that we shouldn’t only 54 our own language — it’s also important to study other languages and how they develop as time changes. They can help us understand what is rooted in humans’ different way of communicating with one another.Linguists study how certain speech models match special 55 , including how language can influence the buying decision or their social media use, and they both vary a lot among people. 56 , in one research paper, a group of Stanford researchers examined the differences in how two parties — Republicans and Democrats, who have different ways of speech, express themselves online. The purpose is to help us know how a(n) 57 difference of beliefs can occur on social media.“Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in deciding how we can help bring people together,” Jurafsky said.43. A. analyze B. choose C. recall D. pronounce44. A. create B. range C. determine D. maintain45. A. changes B. signals C. selects D. strengthens46. A. confusing B. rewarding C. ironic D. common47. A. mastered B. researched C. described D. developed48. A. ahead of B. relevant to C. tom away from D. held back by49. A. seemingly B. individually C. embarrassingly D. occasionally50. A. specific B. tempting C. formal D. natural51. A. faulty B. secondary C. relaxing D. essential52. A. communication B. harshness C. establishment D. distance53. A. limited B. useful C. exceptional D. current54. A. point to B. center around C. leave behind D. argue over55. A. comments B. achievements C. confusions D. behaviors56. A. On the contrary B. In summary C. For example D. As a result57. A. dramatic B. disgusting C. balanced D. slightSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — ashuge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe.I thought that taking the jump from my comfortable hotel room in the park into the great outdoors was unpleasant at first. However, once I began walking slowly and aimlessly along the Hoh River Trail there and slowing down to observe beautiful sunlight and tiny mushrooms that looked like colorful umbrellas, I felt my breath deepen and my nervous system begin to relax for the first time in a long time. What I want to say is that just because the world seems obviously set up for twosomes doesn’t mean you have to let such a standard keep you from living your dreams right now. Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and againWhen it comes to living conditions, the national park not only offers 15 campgrounds across its huge area, it’s also home to five other choices for guests who would prefer not to sleep alone inside a tent — the small national park houses. Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. In one small house called Lake Quinault, I talked with grey-haired seniors about the best old-growth forest walks and asked hotel workers about the Roosevelt Dining Room (so named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president during 1933-1945, came to visit), right next door.58. What made the author avoid visiting Olympic National Park in summer?A. The wish to stay close to communities.B. The likelihood to meet crowds of people.C. The quiet environment in an ancient forest.D. The rough coastlines and the woody beaches.59. According to paragraph 2, the author thinks that traveling alone can ______.A. keep opening up her worldviewB. slow her down in living her dreamsC. stop her leaving her comfortable zoneD. give her a chance to stay in hotel rooms60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Seniors in Lake Quinault are the best forest walkers there.B. The park offers five completely different places to stay in.C. Big fireplaces in houses are meant to strengthen connection.D. The author stayed in a house next door to a famous president.61. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the author’s love for the Pacific NorthwestB. the author’s solo trip to Olympic National ParkC. the greatest tourist attractions in Olympic National ParkD. the brief comparison between group travel and solo ones(B)The connection we have to cats is so strong it feels almost as though they can read our thoughts, study our moods, and even judge how to behave based on our needs. But what really goes on in their sweet, furry heads?Research suggests that cats don’t necessarily see us as any different from them. While cats understand that their human caretakers are larger than they are, they continue to behave around us in the same way as if they were around other cats. The only key difference is that cats meow to humans, not other cats.Owners wondering about what the cats are thinking about should turn to cat body language. Since these are the ways your cat primarily communicates with you, studying their body language can help you understand then on a deeper level and you may start with tails:We may think we have great insight into “cat thinking”, but we may never fully understand them. There exist lots of misunderstandings about cats, most notably:*Cats try to be alien and prefer to be alone. No! They are actually social animals who hope for close relationship.*Purring (making a low continuous sound) only means happiness…In fact, it can also suggest pressure, fear, or pain. Keep an eye out for illness, and be prepared in the case of an unexpected accident.*Cats scratch (抓) to anger people. Wrong again! Cats need to act out this to give themselves great pleasure and comfort.A recent study concluded that cats, when given a choice between playing with certain toys or having interactive fun with a human being, decisively choose to play with a person. For us here at Cat Care of Vinings, it’s two-sided!As always, please call us with any questions or concerns. Or, let us know what you believe cat thinking is all about!Tags: Cat Thinking Cat Thoughts My Cat’s Brain What Does My Cat ThinkPosted in: The Cat’s MeowPrevious: A Pun-fact Match: The Keys to Successful Cat AdoptionNext: Your Guide to Fourth of July Cat Safety62. We may find this passage from a ______.A. newspaperB. posterC. magazineD. website63. If the owner gives the cat its favorite food, what will it probably do?A. Keep its tail low.B. Hook its tail.C. Hide its tail.D. Shake its tail.64. The cat may prefer to ______.A. interact with peopleB. purr to suggest angerC. keep away from man-made toysD. scratch to attract attention(C)Nothing compares with the joy of coming home to a lovely pet. Besides keeping one company, pets may also decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help children with their social skills. Over the past 10 years, researchers have been looking at what the possible effects are.Animals can offer comfort and support. Dogs are espe cially good at this. They’re sometimes brought into hospitals or nursing homes. Ann Berger, a researcher at the NIH Clinical Center, teaches the patients with serious diseases about mindfulness to help decrease stress and manage pain. “Mindfulness includ es attention, awareness, e tc.,”Berger says, “all those are things that animals bring to the table. People kind of have to learn it, while animals do this innately.” Researchers are also studying the safety of bringing animals into hospital settings because animals may bring people more germs (病菌). A current study is looking at the safety of bringing dogs to visit children with a certain kind of illness. Scientists will be testing the children’s hands to see if there are dangerous levels of germs brought by the dog after the visit.Dogs may also help in the classroom. One study found that dogs can help children with ADHD, a disease related to attention. Researchers divided children with ADHD into two groups. The first group of kids read to dogs once a week for 30 minutes. The second group read to toys like dogs. After 12 weeks, kids who read to the real animals showed better social skills. They also had fewer behavioral problems. “Animals can become a way of building a bridge for the social communication,” says Griffin, a child development expert at NIH. He adds that researchers are trying to better understand these effects and whom they might help.While pets may bring many health advantages, an animal may not work for everyone. Recent studies suggest that living with pets at an early age may help protect young children from developing allergies (过敏), but for people who are allergic to certain animals, having pets in the home can do more harm than good.Researchers will continue to explore the many effects of having a pet. They are trying to find out what’s working, what’s not working, and what’s safe.65. When the author says “animals do this innately” in paragraph 2, he probably means ______.A. animals learn from humans to do thisB. animals teach people to stop doing itC. animals are born to be able to do thisD. animals learn to do this as humans do66. What does the study about dogs in the classroom tell us?A. Reading to real dogs could help kids improve behavior.B. Researchers brought dogs there to attract kids’ attention.C. Dogs have poorer social skills than the kids with ADHD.D. Toy dogs work as well as real dogs in accompanying kids.67. What can we learn about the researchers in the passage?A. They still have a long way to go in exploring pets’ effect.B. They don’t doubt the safety of using animals in hospitals.C. Berger helps patients to gain the ability to cure themselves.D. Griffin doesn’t agree that dogs improve children’s reading.68. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Pets’ Various WorkB. The Power of PetsC. Pets as Assistants in SchoolD. Patients’ Call for PetsSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Club Activities in Japanese SchoolsIn the after-class activities of Japanese high schools, there are various clubs. Participation depends on students; however, most students choose a certain club. 69 And there are various kinds within each type.A recent survey showed activity participation rate (比率). In junior high schools, participation rate was around 70% in sports clubs and around 20% in culture clubs. In senior high schools, participation rate in sports clubs dropped to about 50%, and in culture clubs, rose to around 25%. One reason is that there are more kinds of culture clubs in senior high schools than in junior high schools, so there is a wider range of choices. 70The rate of junior high school students not choosing any club was less than 10%. However, that number more than doubled in senior high school. In recent years, the number of students not joining in any clubs is increasing. Stronger individualism, which causes unwillingness to participate in group activities, is one factor behind this change.71 Japanese clubs are considered “a part of education” and are different from club activities overseas. Learning teamwork is a common factor; in particular, sports clubs have a strict hierarchy (等级制度) and are useful in leaning to be polite. This is said to have influenced the way Japanese companies work, for example, with respect for seniors. Compared to sports clubs, the hierarchy in culture clubs is not as strict. 72 Besides, clubs which practice traditional Japanese martial arts and culture offer a valuable chance to learn the traditional arts firsthand. By experiencing such arts in teenage years, the chance of passing traditional culture to the next generation is large.Ⅳ. Outline WritingDirections: Read the following passage and complete the brief outline that follows. Write no more than 5 words for each blank.Interesting Traditions Around the WorldTraditions are passed down from generation to generation to inform us of our history. Some are widespread and taken on by one and all, like celebrating New Year and birthdays, and then there are some that are quite strange or interesting and practiced only by a small group of people.Famadihana, also called the turning of the bones, is a festival in Madagascar that honors the dead and celebrates family ties. Every seven years or so, families who can afford rich dinners for guests and new clothes for the living families and the dead, celebrate the festival. They give out gifts for the dead and crying is discouraged during the celebration.Bali’s Day of Silence, or Nyepi, as they call it, is a holiday celebrated with eating little or no food as well as meditation, the practice of thinking deeply in silence. The whole island shuts off all sounds, lights, and all other activities, so there is peace all around. Days before the actual celebration, Balinese people make the ogoh-ogoh (dangerous animals) statues (雕像) that will be used and paraded through the streets the day before Nyepi. The statues are then usually burnt after supposedly attracting dangerous animals.Having started in Middle Ages, flag throwing has long been popular in Tuscany. As the Italians love a good celebration, army parades were held with marching bands and flag bearers. Since flags are considered sacred, the flag bearers have to make sure that they do not fall to the ground. Today, flag throwing is not just popular in Tuscany but also in the whole of Italy.Some traditions may sound strange, yet people hold them close to their hearts and still practice the age-old rituals to this day. These rituals are part of their culture and history and are able to shape and describe people.Outline:Ⅰ. IntroductionAs a form of historic culture, some traditions are shared altogether and others are 73 and celebrated by only a few.Ⅱ. Body partPeople in Madagascar celebrate Famadihana to honor the dead and 74 .During Nyepi in Bali, people eat little or no food and 75 ; days before the festival, statues are made and later they will be burnt.Flag throwing features army parades and gains popularity in Italy.Ⅲ.

Meet 73-year-old Catia Lattouf, an eager bird lover who has turned her apartment into a home for these tiny, lively birds.In a city where green spaces are not enough, and c ity wildlife is often pushed to the edges, Lattouf’s love for hummingbirds began in 2011, just a year after recovering from a deadly illness, when she began caring for a hummingbird that had an eye injured by another bird. She named the bird Gucci after the brand (品牌) of the eyeglasses case where she kept it and soon they became the best of friends. The tiny hummingbird rested on Lattouf’s computer screen while she worked.“It was a good medicine for my spirit,” Lattouf said of Gucei, adding, “It gave me a new life.” Gucci was the first, but many hummingbirds came to be cared for by Lattouf.For years Lattouf’s home had been a bird shelter, but she was concerned about whether she would be able to meet the requirements of hummingbirds. However, since then, Lattouf has worked to make the public realize the importance of hummingbirds and has saved and freed hundreds of them. Hummingbirds are an important part of the American food web. They help control the population of insects. Although they’re small in size, their diet includes the mosquitoes, spiders and fruit flies. Hummingbirds also pollinate (授粉) a wide variety of flowering plants from Alaska to the southernmost point of South America, which is especially important for native plant species. In fact, some plants depend almost completely on hummingbirds for pollination.Through her effort, Lattouf has shown that even in the heart of a big city, it is possible to coexist (共存) with and protect the natural world. In a city that can sometimes feel disconnected from nature, Lattouf’s apartment is a wonder that can be found when we make space for the wild in our everyday lives.4.

The reason for this is that the museum said in August that about 2, 000 objects had been stolen or missing.The museum is one of the busiest in the world. It holds objects such as the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon Marbles — known as the Elgin Marbles — and ancient stones and jewelry (珠宝) .The leader, or chair of the museum, is George Osborne. He recently told the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of Parliament that he believed a person who worked at the museum was responsible. Osborne called it “an inside job by someone who the museum had put trust in.” He said the person took objects from the museum little by little.The mus eum’s manager at the time was German art historian Hartwig Fischer. Fischer left the job in August after serving since 2016. He said he must be responsible for the thefts (盗窃) in the end. He added the museum did not react as it should have when concerns first came up that someone had been stealing.The museum head said about 350 of the 2, 000 objects have been found and are in the process of being returned. Stolen objects included gold rings, earrings and other jewelry from the ancient Greek and Roman times.The manager of the museum at present is M ark Jones. He said the museum is confident “that a theft of this kind can never happen again.” Jones added that one way to improve the museum’s safety is to show more objects to the public instead of, as he said, “simply locking objects away.”In September, the museum asked for help in finding the missing objects. The organization offered a phone number for people to call if they had information.12. Who stole the objects according to George Osborne?A．A visitor. B．An artist. C．An art dealer. D．A museumworker.13. Why did Hartwig Fischer feel sorry about the missing objects?A．He shouldn’t have trusted any worker.B．He didn’t deal with the stealing in time.C．He did not notice objects were missing. D．He shouldn’t have shown valuableobjects.14. What does Mark Jones want to do to protect their objects?A．Lock their objects away. B．Call on the public to help.C．Make more objects known. D．Keep visitors away from objects.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．British Museum Will Make Its Objects DigitalB．Art Lovers Will Soon Visit British Museum OnlineC．Digital Collections of World-Famous Museum Were StolenD．Stolen Objects Are Being Returned to British MuseumWhat’s the secret to happiness? Although that answer won’t be the same for everyone, you can follow daily practices to develop joy from within.Letting Go16 Bad thoughts, habits, and bad relationships may hold you back from discovering true joy. Some people believe they have found true happiness when they get promotion (晋升), buy a dream house, or find that special someone. Yet, within a few years, they may find themselves back to the past or suffering.Getting Up EarlyWaking up a bit earlier and practicing your morning life can guide you towards happiness and success. 17 And how you choose to spend those early hours will set the tone (基调) for the rest of the day. By getting up early, you’ll look forward to rising each day and doing the things that make you feel good, putting a smile on your face.Mindful EatingGood, healthy food can bring joy into your days if you choose to practice mindful eating. There is no doubt that your food choices affect your overall physical health. 18 As the old saying goes, you really are what you eat! Each food group influences you differently.What’s more, being mindful when eating can also bring happiness as you become present in the moment and focus on joy. 19Living in the NowThe secret to happiness is to live fully in the here and now. 20 And they often let fears and desires hold them back. That’s where living in the now comes to light. If you want to discover true happiness and joy, then in each moment, try to embrace (拥抱) endless presence to achieve inner peace and freedom.Tonight, I was on my flight from Indianapolis to Baltimore.

They are newspapers, magazines, radios and television news broadcasts. A person may use one or another of these sources to get information. Each source is used in its own way. Newspapers and magazines can give much information about a particular event. They may have an opinion or point of view on a particular detail (详细)，provide some heading of the event, some of its content, some of its effects, or perhaps radio and television can help a person to be informed about what is happening each day.

There are some serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer fun to information. The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times . It began in 1875, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on thenews. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the paper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with the manners of thirty years ago.5.If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself____________.A. a serious newspaperB. a foreign newspaperC. an independent paperD. a popular newspaper6.

These machines can do jobs in places that are too dangerous for humans. For example, they are being developed to work in nuclear power center, deep under the oceans and in outer space.John Marrit, a psychologist in Williamsburg Massachusetts, helped develop the new machine. This is how they work. A machine is placed in an area far away from the person who operates it. The person wears special hard hat with television screens and sound equipment. The screens and sound equipment let the person see and hear exactly what the machine is seeing and hearing. Mr. Marrit says this gives the person the feeling of being in the same place as the machine. The idea, he says, is “being there without going there.” The person uses an electronic control to make the machine move. The machine copies the person’s movement s exactly. He can do the dangerous job while staying in the safe place. For example, a person can direct the machine to destroy a bomb without going near the bomb himself. 9.

At first they were very costly. And then they cost less, so many people are now buying and using them. The police say people with car phones are reporting crimes they see and helping catch criminals.In the southern State of Florida, more than 125,000 people have telephones in their cars. Almost one car in every 30 has a telephone. A man in a big city of Florida is one of these car phone owners. One evening as he arrived home, he saw two people he did not know leaving the house next door. He called the police on his car telephone and followed the strangers in his car. The police caught the two men. A woman in another city of Florida saw a man shooting at another man during an attempt of robbery. She called the police on her car phone and followed the gunman as he fled in a car. She told the police where he was driving. With her information, the police stopped the man and caught him.Many people use their car phones to report other drivers who seem to have drunk too much wine. They also report accidents. This helps doctors and nurses get to an accident sooner to provide medical aid. All those car telephones are like having many more sets of eyes and ears on the road. They help the police to do their jobs better. Car phones also help drivers find the best way to get to a place. In some Florida cities, car phone owners can make free calls to radio stations to report when roads become blocked by accidents or too many cars. The stations then broadcast warning to other drivers to find different roads to use.13.
