But what on earth it is about, still remains a question for many people.Karaoke is a sort of acoustic equipment which was invented in Japan around the middle of the 1970's. It means "a band without people" in Japanese. In fact, it is just a music tape without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars, and mainly for the customers to enjoy themselves. Most of the music in Karaoke was popular music. Therefore, at times, when anyone felt like it, he might sing songs to the accompaniment of the music that came from the equipment.Shortly after its invention, Karaoke was spread to the whole world.

The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn't sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you can't simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks. Witha start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he'd used the card strategy. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket（收保护费组织）.Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn't enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. "I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that's fine," the gesture said. "I want $30, or I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day." I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. "Are you Mickey?" The man looked at him with scorn. "Mickey is the garbage man. I am the recycling." Not only had Ed insulted this man by suggesting that he was a garbage man, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. "Anyone else?"Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under "trash/recycling collectors" in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: "$10 to $30 each." You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.24. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because____.A. he wanted the couple to pay for the newspaperB. he forgot to write a few words on itC. he used it to ask for a Christmas tipD. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person25. According to the passage, the author felt ______to give Raoul a holiday tip.A. excitedB. happyC. embarrassedD. forced26. Which of the following is true about Mickey, the garbage collector?A. He wrote a letter to the couple afterwards.B. He failed to collect the money from the bank.C. He wanted the couple to send him a Christmas card.D. He collected both the check and the garbage that day.27. Ed's encounter with the recycling team shows that____.A. Ed was desperate to correct his mistakeB. Ed only wanted to give money to RaoulC. Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driverD. Ed no longer wanted to give them moneyCIntegrityIntegrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny(命运) of a nation. By contrast, if t hose living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the societ y.However, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue(追求) integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity.Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.28. Individual integrity has been valued in society because ______.A. it helps develop philosophyB. it is the basis of critical thinkingC. it is important to social relationsD. it ensures people’s particular roles29. The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. strengtheningB. assessingC. influencingD. destroying30. The writer believes that ______.A. the nature of society is decided by economic developmentB. the pursuit of individual integrity changes with timeC. individual integrity depends on what one believesD. social structures guide the formation of individual integrity31. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage? （新题型；可以不做）A. B. C. D.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C：ConclusionDIn June 2016, Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three-year-old Victoria Wilcher, who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that, during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone’s door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”Anot her journalist says, “There is definitely pressure to churn out (粗制滥造) stories in order to get clicks, because they equal money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horribl e to work in.”In a February 2017 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, “Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that isrepeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached, repetition has a powerful effect on belief. The rumor(传闻) becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity.”And, despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times’ public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It’s extremely im portant to question and to use every verification(验证) method available before publication.” Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because, in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a cli ck, regardless of the advanta ge of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, it’s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.”V erification and fact-checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers, and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change.32. According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _____.A. clicks matter a lotB. resources are limitedC. budgets are inadequateD. journalists lack experience33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Lies can’t sell without an atom of truth.B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind.C. You can hear rumors, but you can’t know them.D. A lie, repeated often enough, will end up as truth.34. What’s Margaret Sullivan’s attitude towards false news online?A. Negative.B. Supportive.C. Skeptical.D. Neutral.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Consequences of false stories.B. Causes of online false news.C. Incompetence of journalists.D. A craze to get clicks.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
安徽省金榜教育阶段性大联考2023-2024学年高一下学期5月月考英语试题
安徽省金榜教育阶段性大联考2023-2024学年高一下学期5月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination? Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler.Top City: NairobiNairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local food. Nairobi National Park is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while high buildings twinkle on the horizon.Top Country: Mongolia Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025as the “Years to Visit Mongolia,” easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport.Top Sustainable (可持续发展的) Travel Destination: SpainThe publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona.Top Best-Value Location: The American MidwestThe American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities without having to spend too much money.Top Beach Destination: Donegal Donegal, Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over 100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe.1．What do Nairobi and Mongolia have in common?A．Tasty food.B．Diverse culture.C．Breathtaking views.D．Wide-open Spaces. 2．Why is Spain on the list?A．It improves public facilities for international travelers.B．It provides sustainable travel destinations for visitors.C．It has the world’s longest coastline and plenty of beaches.D．It offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost.3．In which section of a newspaper can you find this text?A．Architecture.B．Environment.C．Tourism.D．Publishing.The topic of China’s “slash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.The s lash youth, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation — means those who refuse to be defined or bound by just one personal identity. They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes different identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievement.A diverse career can enable them to develop new experiences and talents as well as social and professional networks, leading to greater flexibility in life and work, recognition and satisfaction.A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms (规范) broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has appeared, removing the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the problem of self-realization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.“The ‘slash life’ shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive, and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They tend to create their own identities.” The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.4．What do we know about the slash youth?A．They tend to undertake multiple careers.B．They are keen to pursue material comforts.C．They enjoy posting themselves on social media.D．They can easily adjust themselves to challenges in life.5．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The importance of flexible labor markets.B．Reasons for the appearance of slash youth.C．The pursuit of the youth in their profession.D．Causes of losing self-identity among the youth.6．What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life?A．It boosts the rise of a new economy.B．It helps increase people’s independence.C．It inspires young people’s creativity at work.D．It enables young people to earn high incomes.7．What is the purpose of the text?A．To provide career guidance.B．To analyze a cultural difference.C．To introduce a social phenomenon.D．To share a unique life experience.Ignoring message is frowned upon (皱眉) in this always-on times. And according to most people, dropping out of communication is blamed as “ghosting”, which in the years since the term became widespread, has become a deadly killer of digital communications.But in these exhausting times, when so many are overburdened with family responsibilities, stress, grief and anxiety, perhaps we should let go of the outdated, demanding requirement to participate in endless back-and-forth conversations. As Daniel Post Senning of the Emily Post Institution said, “You have to be a civil and decent person, but you don’t have to give your time and attention to everyone who asks for it.”In an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens, triaging (优先选择) can be necessary for our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives: When we are on vacation. When it’s after 7 pm. When we are at the dinner table. When we are exercising. If you don’t reply immediately to a message during one of these times, don’t apologize. Just reply when you can. Or don’t.Is triaging a blanket permission to fall into unexplained silence or become a bottleneck to your colleagues’ work? No. Instead, establish boundaries with your work colleagues frankly so that they don’t panic when they can’t reach you.It’s also worth asking yourself who is putting the pressure on for immediate response. Perhaps it’s not the message sender, but you.8．Which statement do most people agree with?A．Giving full attention to whoever asks for it is a must.B．Dropping out of a conversation equals killing other people.C．It’s considered improper to cut off from an ongoing conversation.D．It’s highly advised to carry on conversations despite heavy burdens.9．How does the author develop paragraph 3?A．By listing figures.B．By giving examples.C．By comparing facts.D．By stating reasons.10．What does the underlined word “bottleneck” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Barrier.B．Milestone.C．Opportunity.D．Masterpiece. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Important Emails: Send Them Quickly B．Urgent Calls: Answer Them Immediately C．Unfriendly People: Avoid Them Carefully D．Unnecessary Messages: Ignore Them DirectlyArtificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earth-quakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge resultand could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.12．How does the AI forecast earthquakes?A．By identifying data from the satellites.B．By analyzing background sounds in the Earth.C．By modeling data based on earthquake recordings.D．By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.13．What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3?A．The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.B．The importance of preparing for earthquakes.C．The significance of developing the AI prediction.D．The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.14．What will the follow-up research focus on?A．Conducting tests in different locations.B．Applying the AI approach to other fields.C．Building more earthquake stations in Texas.D．Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.15．Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology?A．Stable but outdated.B．Effective but costly.C．Potential and economical.D．Pioneering and promising.Money habits are the small daily decisions we make that influence how we spend and save our money.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s style in architecture was ________ .A. no longer popularB. not only limited to the U. S.C. learned from some European countriesD. somewhat similar to the European style26. Which of the following best describes the character of the house that Wright designed?A. They were very comfortable and useful.B. They could be used as churches.C. They were very large and beautiful.D. They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.27. What is the most important idea in Wright’s style?A. Design should be more important than use.B. A building must have grassland around it.C. Architectural design should match natural surroundings.D. American style in architecture should be different from European’s.BFrank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect(建筑师) that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings are not only beautiful, but they are also practical and useful. They fit th eir purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason. Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wr ight was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel(平行的) to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.28. The colored buns were sold in some large supermarkets EXCEPT ________ .A. HualianB. LianhuaC. ShengluD. Dia29. What Ms. Gao and Ms. Tang said suggests that ________ .A. they will make food by themselvesB. they will never go to supermarketsC. they still trust major supermarkets when shoppingD. they feel confused about where to buy safe food30. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by ________ .A. choicesB. ideasC. changesD. marks31. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Major supermarkets removed the dyed steamed buns.B. Dyed bun scandal hurts consumers’ confidence.C. Famous supermarkets are involved in the bun scandal.D. Dyed steamed buns brought great loss to major supermarkets.CThe dyed bun scandal (染色馒头丑闻) deals another blow to shoppers’ confidence in buying food products, as well as the reputation of local sellers. Li Zhen reports on shoppers’ reactions in Shanghai.A survey by the municipal government revealed that Shanghai Shenglu Food Company produced more than 3, 000 steamed buns daily. These were then sold across the city, including large supermarkets such as Hualian, Lianhua and Dia.Fewer steamed buns were for sale at this Lianhua Supermarket. More than 32, 000 buns were taken off store shelves when the scandal emerged(出现).Mr. Wang, Sales Manager of Lianhua Supermarket, said, “We removed the dyed steamed buns produced by Shenglu as soon as we learned of the incident. We gave customers who had bought the steamed buns from our shops refunds with their receipts(收据). Despite the scandal, our sales volume has been fine so far. ”However, most customers we met remained concerned about food safety. Steamed buns are a regular breakfast food for Ms. Gao. She used to buy them mostly from supermarkets because she felt it was in a clean and safe environment.But now, she has second thoughts about buying the popular snack.Ms. Gao, Shanghai shopper, said, “I can’t believe that even steamed buns from the supermarkets are no longer safe. The only places I trusted to shop at were major supermarkets and specialist shops. But now even there, product quality cannot be guaranteed. I really don’t know where to buy my goods from in the future. ”Shoppers at supermarkets who still bought steamed buns said they had few options. “I feel like g iving up supermarkets. But I really don’t know where to do my food shopping. I can’t make thesethings myself. ” said Ms. Tang, Shanghai shopper.32. The underlined word "spontaneous" in the second paragraph probably means "______".A. perfectB. naturalC. strangeD. terrible33. People have formed laughter clubs to ______.A. kill timeB. relaxC. meet othersD. keep healthy34. The best title for the passage would be ______.A. A Laughter EpidemicB. How Laughter Helps Cure DiseaseC. Laughter, What It Is, and What It Can DoD. The Relationship Between Laughter and Health35. The passage is probably taken from a(n) ______.A. health magazineB. adC. novelD. medical bookDHow many times have you laughed today? Have you ever wondered what makes you laugh? In the whole animal kingdom, only we humans are capable (有能力的) of laughter. On average, we laugh about 17 times a day.Laughter is a spontaneous reaction of the body to some-thing funny or pleasant. Have you noticed that when you laugh, many parts of your body respond (反应)? Your face changes expression, your breathing changes, and muscles throughout your body are affected.An interesting story dates back to 1962. In a school in Tanganyika, in Africa, a group of schoolgirls started laughing uncontrollably over a joke. This laughter became epidemic (传染的), jumping from one person to the next, spreading across communities, and lasting for six months! So strong was the "laughter epidemic" that schools had to shut down till it ended.How we laugh remains a mystery. Whatever the reasons, laughter, as the saying goes, "is the best medicine." In fact, science has proven that being happy and laughing can not only keep us healthy and fit but help deal with serious illnesses.Laughing exercises all the important muscles, and keeps you fit. People have started forming laughter clubs that use laughter to treat illnesses. They meet at specific places at fixed times and laugh together. Laughter spreads, so this exercise works best in groups; once one person starts laughing, others automatically (自动地) join in.A．Stay motivated toward your goals．B．The reasons for setting your goals are essential．C．Instead, concentrate on finishing the task period.D．But they keep going and make efforts to achieve the goals．E．Allow yourself to get pleasure from the journey you are on．F．Ranking your goals helps you know what is meaningful to you．G．And they give up before their goals are achieved as they first imagined．第二节（共五小题；每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Over the years it had grown into two shops, but Allamby wanted something more. At first, he thought that meant growing his business even further. So at 34, Allamby decided to go for his bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in business management. After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology (生物学) to get his degree.Biology class reawakened Allamby’s childhood dream. He remembered the feeling of wanting to be a doctor back when he was younger.Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby and his five sisters and brothers were raised by their stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door to door. “That didn’t pay so well,” Allamby says.Growing up in an African American neighborhood, he faced many difficulties. His school didn’t offer advanced science classes. Even if it had, doing well in school could get him into trouble. “Sometimes you wouldn’t carry your books home because other kids would laugh at you,” Allamby says. So he gave up thoughts of becoming a doctor and chose to fix cars.With his family’s support, Allamby decided to take science classes he’d need to become a health care worker. Becoming a doctor when he would be nearly 50 years old seemed crazy. He would instead become a nurse.But Allamby’s chemistry teacher stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest student here. What’s your end game?”Allamby told him how he’d like to become a doctor but it would be better to have a smaller goal.“Why not a doctor?” the teacher asked. “You have a great intuition (直觉) for the work. You will go a long way.”He was right. Allamby did well in all his courses. So in 2015, Allamby started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at age 47, Carl Allamby became a doctor, and took a job in emergency (急诊) medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.4．Why did Allamby go for a bachelor’s degree at first?A．He had an interest in biology.B．He wanted to be a doctor.C．He wanted to be more successful in business.D．He wanted to realize his childhood dream.5．What was Allamby’s life as a child like?A．poor and hard.B．dangerous but attractive.C．peaceful but lonely.D．simple and interesting.6．What did the chemistry teacher think of Allamby?A．He should have a smaller goal.B．He had a gift for medicine.C．He had wasted too much time.D．He was not serious about the class. 7．What can we learn from Allamby’s story?A．Life is not full of roses.B．Education is the key to success.C．Chance favors the prepared mind.D．You’re never too old to live your dream.From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and hisever-calm, loving mother.Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.8．Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?A．Diverse.B．Busy.C．Risky.D．Tough.9．What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?A．I just introduced my family by mistake.B．I shouldn’t have introduced my family.C．I gave false information about my family.D．I couldn’t help introducing my family. 10．What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?A．Durrell’s rich imagination.B．Some interesting plots of the book.C．The book’s writing feature.D．Some vivid descriptions of the island. 11．What is the purpose of this text?A．To share an experience.B．To introduce a writing style.C．To recommend a book.D．To describe an unusual place.Two years ago Lucy was saved from a rural area in New South Wales, Australia. Today, she is one of the lucky animals living in rows of trees that have been created to protect koalas and other animals by saving their smaller and smaller habitat (栖息地) , or natural environment.The trees, planted by the local protection group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are a lifeline for koalas and other animals. All of them are in danger of dying out, or at risk of extinction. The trees provide a safe way across the koala’s increasinglybroken habitat. This protects koalas from human threats (威胁). “Our trees are actually trying to get them away from humans, cars and dogs. ”said Linda Sparrow. President of Bangalow Koalas.The koala is expected to die out in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest threats include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development.Bangalow Koalas has planted over 336, 000 trees on 119 areas, helping koala protection and improving the local ecosystem (生态系统). The group, which depends on community volunteers, aims to plant 500, 000 trees by 2025. “The neighbor would want to join and then another neighbor would want to join. ”Sparrow said. V olunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years.A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth about S3. 2 billion per year to the tourism industry. However. the World Wildlife Fund-Australia reported a drop in koala populations in Australian states. “I can’t imagine a world where there’s no koalas in the wild. ” Sparrow said. “We’re going to do our best to make sure that doesn’t happen. ”12．Why is Lucy mentioned in Paragraph 1?A．To show it is important to plant trees.B．To suggest a way to protect nature.C．To introduce a special kind of living thing.D．To compare koalas with other animals.13．What does the underlined word “extinction” probably mean in paragraph 2?A．Growing.B．Disappearing.C．Reducing.D．Failing.14．How does Sparrow feel about koalas’ future?A．Doubtful.B．Unclear.C．Positive.D．Disappointed. 15．What is the best title for the text?A．A Protection Group B．The Polluted EnvironmentC．Human Threats D．More Trees, More HopeWith all the pressures of life, relaxing can be difficult, No matter what your lifestyle is,you can find ways to relax. 16 .Meditate (冥想)Try progressive muscle relaxation.

The weather was awful, for it was pouring with rain, and I would’ve loved to buy umbrellas for people. I decided to think of free or really cheap ways to make people smile. I knew I’d also have to deal with my shyness, or just create acts of kindness, but it was a challenge that I was willing to accept!When I was on the bus, the seat I sat on next to the window was wet; somehow the rain had gotten in. I left a note on the seat, with the Smile Card, saying, “This seat is wet: sit with caution (谨慎) !” Later, while waiting at the road crossing, I held my card over the woman standing in front of me. She didn’t notice but obviously those extra moments of dryness would help!After the interview, I’d devised a few more ways to create smiles. I checked my purse for change and put 50 pence and a Smile Card on top of a child’s automatic ride. I allowed an elderly gentleman to go in front of me as he was having trouble standing. At this point, I was really beginning to accept my day of kindness!Before getting on the bus home. I had one more idea: I went and bought a small bag of chocolates and attached a Smile Card. When I got back to my street, I left the sweets and the Smile Card at a neighbour’s door. This neighbour had taken in a parcel (包裹) for me last week, so he deserved a treat.After all this, my day of giving wasn’t yet over! I was so pleased that I managed to do all these little things for others today. It didn’t take much effort on my part, but I definitely had to push myself to overcome (克服) my lack of confidence, and I’m proud of myself.4．What difficulty does the writer have to overcome?A．The job interview.B．The terrible weather.C．Poor ability to pay.D．The shyness character.5．What does the underlined word “devised” mean in Paragraph 3?A．Thought up.B．Focused on.C．Cut out.D．Looked forward to. 6．Why did the writer give the sweets and the Smile Card to the neighbour?A．To please the neighbour’s children.B．To thank the neighbour for the help last week.C．To receive a welcome treat from the neighbour.D．To try to trouble the neighbour to take in his parcel.7．What message does the writer convey?A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.B．Any act of kindness matters.C．Shyness makes it difficult to succeed.D．Believe in yourself first, then others will believe you.The African continent has seen its average monthly temperatures rise by 0.5 — 2 degrees Celsius over the past century, with up to another two degrees of warming projected for the next 100 years. The changing climate will break historical rainfall patterns, but which of these, temperature or rainfall, will have the most impact on a species, like rhinos (犀牛) ?“Generally speaking, most, if not all, species will. in one way or another, be affected by the changing climate,” says lead author Hlelowenkhosi S. Mamba, who completed this research. It is therefore important to catch tendency (趋势) and model futures for some of the world’s weakest species. It can help prepare to reduce climate change’s effects, hence reducing global biodiversity losses.To understand how our changing climate will affect rhino populations, Mamba and Timothy Randhir, professor of environmental protection, focused their efforts on the five large national parks that are home to most of the rhinos.Mamba and Randhir then modeled two scenes for each of the parks: the IPCC’s high-emissions (排放) scenes and a more moderate (适度的) emissions scenes. They projected temperature and rainfall for each of the scenes out to 2055 and 2085 to arrive at a possibility that each park would remain suitable for the rhinos.Nearly every park will become increasingly drier as emissions increase. This is all very bad news for the rhinos, because the team also found that, though the change in rainfall will not bemost suitable for the rhinos, the changes in temperature are greater than what the species can bear.“The temperature conditions in all study parks will become increasingly unsuitable for the species. And under the high-emissions scenes, the possibility of occurrence of the species falls to zero by 2085,” the authors write.But to be forewarned is to be prepared in advance. “We propose that park managers think now about increasing water supplies, tree cover, watching for stress and planning to allow rhinos to move from one place to another place as the world warms,” says Randhir.8．Why does the author ask a question in Paragraph 1?A．To show an evidence.B．To stress the main idea.C．To lead in the topic.D．To offer some background.9．What does the second paragraph mainly focus on?A．The means of the research.B．The content of the research.C．The process of the research.D．The significance of the research. 10．What can we know about the research from the text?A．Changes in rainfall have a greater effect on rhinos.B．Each park will have no rhinos in 2055.C．Changes in temperature affect rhinos more.D．Each park will be warmer by 4. 5℃ in 2085.11．What does Randhir mean in the last paragraph?A．Rhinos are better suited to natural growth.B．Rhinos are in great danger in the five parks.C．Park managers should plan to protect rhinos.D．Park managers must pay more attention to nature.Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that conducts itself with three behaviours at the same time: rolling (翻滚) forward. turning like a record and following a path that goes around a central point. The equipment, which operates without human or computer control, holds promise for developing soft robots that can be used to AA-head and map unknown environments.The new soft robots are called twisted ring-bots (扭曲环机器人) . They are made ofsomething like the ribbon (缎带) and then joined together at the end to form a ring.When the robots are placed on a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surrounding air, one part of the ribbon touching the surface becomes smaller, while one part in the air does not. This induces a rolling movement: the warmer the surface, the faster the robot rolls. “The ribbon rolls on its horizontal axis (横轴) , giving the ring forward strength,” says Jie Yin, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.The twisted ring-bot also turns along its central axis. And as the twisted ring-bot moves forward it travels in a path around a central point, basically moving in a large circle. However, if the twisted ring-bot meets a boundary- like the wall of a box-it will travel along the boundary.The twisted ring-bots are examples of equipment whose behaviour is governed by physical intelligence, meaning their actions are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made of, rather than being directed by a computer or human.“Soft robotics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways to control the movement of soft robots in a repeatable and engineered way moves the field forward. And advancing our understanding of what is possible is exciting.”12．What makes the robot roll faster and faster?A．The ribbon.B．The central axis.C．The shape and material.D．The higher surface temperature.13．How does the author introduce the new soft robots?A．By explaining the robot’s working ways.B．By quoting experts’ opinions.C．By making some comparisons.D．By offering reasons and results.14．What is Yin’s attitude towards twisted ring-bots?A．Unclear.B．Favourable.C．Negative.D．Doubtful. 15．What is the best title for the text?A．The New Soft Robots B．Ribbons and Their RollingC．Three Creative Movements D．Twisted Rings and the Axis4 Reasons Why Wild Animals Are So ImportantAs we know, the earth gives us food, medicines and materials, often through wild animals. These wild animals are important to our existence. Sadly, they are becoming extinct at an alarmingrate. We need to change this loss of nature and create a future where wildlife and people thrive (蓬勃发展) again. 16 Here are some reasons why wild animals are so important to the world at large.Wild animals keep balance in ecosystems.17 If any part is threatened or becomes extinct, this has a knock-on effect on the whole ecosystem. sending shock waves through the environment. For ecosystems to survive and perhaps even thrive, we must protect all of our wildlife.Diversity (多样性) means healthier ecosystems and healthier wild animals.When there is a wildlife issue, you’ll often hear the term biodiversity, which refers to the number of species in an ecosystem. 18 Why do we consider this important? A wide variety of animals means greater productivity and better health. If there are fewer animal species, a disease that affects any species spreads faster and more effectively.19All of the food that we eat comes from an animal or plant. Living without various food sources causes our nutrition (营养) to suffer. Protecting wildlife and its natural habitats strengthens food safety for humans around the world.Wildlife helps medical research.Wild animals have helped us find important medicines that help with many diseases. 20 Many medical systems like Chinese traditional medicines still rely on herbs and spices, but even Western medicine have made great progress with wildlife research.A．All living things are interconnected.B．Healthy ecosystems mean a lot of diversity.C．Or we will lose these animals to future generations.D．People worldwide depend on wildlife for their snack.E．Wildlife provides important nutrients for the human race.F．The human race has always turned to nature for medicine.G．We should notice the influence caused by wildlife on culture.二、完形填空The caring employees at a Costco store near Cleveland, Ohio, are being honoured as heroes.

I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries(食品杂货). A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile –warm and comforting—and I returned her gift by smiling back.“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.“It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her.I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.I was slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night that I won her heart.80.What does the underlined phrase “her gift”(Paragraph 2) refer to?A．Her smile.B．Her words.C．Her flowers.D．Her politeness.81. The writer give his flowers to the elderly lady because she ________.A．started the conversation first B．gave him encouragement.C．allowed him to pay first D．liked flowers very much.82.

The writer managed to buy some flower =s for his girlfriend on each date.C. People in Boston didn’t always start small talk with someone they didn’t know.D. It took the writer a while to decide whether to give the elderly lady the flowers or not.83．What is the message conveyed in the story?A．Flowers are important for a date.B．Small talk is helpful.C．Elderly people need respecting. D．Love and kindness are rewarding.(B)Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Freeyourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others —an automatic review for you.84. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.85. If you can't remember someone's name, you may__A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you86. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible87. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.(C)“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remember someone coming up to the canyon’s edge , taking a shot with their camera and then walking away, like ‘got it – done’, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene sprawling in front of them,” Linda Heckle, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by now obsessed people are with taking picture these days---before dinner, during friends’ birthday parties, on museum tours and so on. You know people just like that, don’t you?They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel’s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel, led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and to photograph 15 others. The next day the students’ memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remember fewer details about them if they photographed them.“When people rely on technology to remember for them---counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens on a specific area could even recall parts that weren’t in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn’t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just amassing them.’’ Henkle told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren’t usually very organized on their computer.88.The author mentioned Henkel’s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to ________．A. describe the great view of the Grand CanyonB. complain about some tourist’s bad habitsC. point out people’s obsession with taking picturesD. give suggestions on how to enjoy one’s tour89. Which of the following statements about Henkel’s study is TURE according to the article?A. Taking pictures in museum tour helps students organize objects better.B. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.C. Pictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve people’s memoriesD. People should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them.90. The word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means_________________.A. displayingB. collectingC. ignoringD. remembering91. What is the article mainly about?A. Some skills to learn for taking pictures.B. People’s obsession with taking pictures.C. How pictures remind us of our past.D. How to deal with pictures after taking trips.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the wording given in the brackets.92. 知识的传播会使世界成为一个更加美好的地方。

If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel it a must, but the anger they feel will do more harm to them in the long term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they connect you with this emotion of fear, they will become less productive around you, and you will have ended up in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making every good employee or partner unable to work effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the workday; or we can employ him or her at the emotional level, so they put their heart fully into the projects and provide some of their own creation. Today’s work place is all about relationships.People work harder in a positive environment where they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the payment is not the only most inspiring factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence – knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.（1）An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ________.A . he is forced to do thingsB . he cannot work at his bestC . he feels his brain shut downD . he thinks of his work as heavy（2）It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A . all employees connect leadership with great fearB . working conditions don’t influence people’s healthC . a good rela tionship is the key to business successD . smart people are more productive in the work place （3）To positively influence employees, a leader should first ________.A . hide his own emotion of fearB . provide more better adviceC . develop his own personalityD . give his employees a pay rise（4）Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ability to ________.A . provide kinds of projects for employeesB . deal with employees’ emotions wiselyC . help praise employees’ living standardsD . give employees detailed instructions3. 阅读理解Taylor Swift added another great honor this year—the first-ever Taylor Swift Award—at the 64th yearly BMI Pop Awards.Held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, the ceremony honored the writers and publishers of the most-performed pop songs during the past year. The Taylor Swift Award was a recognition（认可）of both Swift’s musical influence and creative gift.In her acceptance speech, Swift said that she was happy to get the award named after her. “It is really a relief that BMI decided to give me the Taylor Swift Award, because if they had chosen somebody else to give it to, I’d be like kind of angry about it.” the singer joked.This eponymous（同名的）award marked only the second time in BMI’s history that the orga nization has presented an award in an artist’s name. Michael Jackson, a legendary（传奇的）artist, was the first to get that honor in 1990.“Taylor Swift is one of the most popular singers in US. She has shown pop culture through her songs,” said Barbara Cane,BMI’s Vice President of Writer/ Publisher Relations, “She has had a deep influence, not only musically, but also through her personal belief and commitment to create a standard that values and respects music for everyone. We felt it suitable to award Taylor with an honor that is an special as she is.”Swift also claimed four of the year’s most-performed songs to earn the honor of Pop Songwriter of the Year.（1）What do we know about the Taylor Swift Award?A . The Taylor Swift Award can only be given to Taylor Swift herself.B . The Taylor Swift Award is the only one that is named after an artist’s name.C .Taylor’s creativity in music is one of the reasons tha t helps her get the award.D . Barbara Cane decided to give the award to Taylor this year.（2）What was Taylor’s feeling when she knew she would be given the award?A . Relieved.B . Unbelievable.C . Angry.D . Unexpected.（3）Why is Michael Jackson mentioned in paragraph 4?A . To prove that Michael Jackson is legendary.B . To show that Taylor’s getting this award is a great honor.C .

Taylor Swift is considered as the most popular singer in US.4. 阅读理解If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey mater. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of bilinguals who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey mater density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, t he better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.（1）The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.A . science on learning a second languageB . man’s ability of learning a second languageC . that language can help brain powerD . language learningand maths study（2）A bilingual means a person who ________.A . researches language learningB . can only speak EnglishC . can speak two languagesD . learned a second language at an early age（3）We may know from the scientific findings that ________.A . whether you learn a foreign language does make a difference in your grey matter densityB . there is no difference between a second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second languageC . the exp erience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brainD . the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time（4）In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ________.A . learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB . early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsC . Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD . you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language二、任务型阅读5. 任务型阅读Are you suffering from FOMO—that is, Fear Of Missing Out? Research shows that a growing number of young people are, with worrying reasons for their sleep and schoolwork.________You aren’t able to do your best unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that the optimum（最适宜）number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I wasyoung once and know most of you get much less sleep than that.I read an interesting article in a teachers’ maga zine recently. ________Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at appropriate times, but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack, but because of FOMO.According to the article, the number of students waking up during the night to check social media is growing. Afraid of missing a comment or opportunity to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. ________Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report reveals some worrying statistics: 23% of 12-to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. ________One in third of the students are constantly tired and unable to function to their full capacity.So I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Switch off your devices at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! ________A. But things are getting out of hand.B. They did a study of 848 students in Wales.C. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.D. I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important.E. All happens when they should be sound asleep.F. FOMO is the fear that everyone else is having more fun and moreexcitement than you.G.

高一英语第二学期5月份月考卷
高一英语第二学期5月份月考试卷第一局部选择题（1-35题写在答题卡上）第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每题2分，满分30分)AOn a Sunday morning, I was driving down a road and saw something I couldn’t believe. A little girl, less than two, was pushing her stroller (婴儿车) across the road. It was Sunday morning and traffic was not heavy.I stopped my car at once and ran toward her. This little girl knew enough to run from a stranger. I tried to catch her in order that I could get her out of the road.Suddenly her father came running down a hill across the road from where I had parked my car. He ran right to her and caught her up, saying “bad girl” to her. I picked up the stroller and gave it to him. The father grabbed the stroller and walked toward where he came from without a word.I went back and sat in my car for a few minutes with my son. My hands were shaking and tears were about to run out of my eyes. “Do you feel cold, Mom?” asked my son. I just shook my head.After this happened, I thought about how thankful I am. Even though the father didn’t say thank you, I feel that I did something good. Doing something for someone else is pleasing, even when it’s only a matter of being in the right place at the right time.I didn’t really “save” her, but I feel like it was important that I happened to be there. It is sad that I was the only one who stopped. It really made me a little disappointed that no one else stopped to1. The little girl ran away from the author because _____.A. she wanted to stay on the roadB. she didn’t know the author at allC. she wanted to look for her fatherD. she needed to catch her stroller2. The author thought that her help was _____.A. really necessaryB. worth praisingC. not welcomeD. not useful3. What can we learn from the passage?A. The girl’s father didn’t like the girl at all.B. The girl’s father had wanted to thank the author.C. The author shared her experience with her son.D. The author felt sad that no one else helped the girl.BWomen in Nazi Germany were to have a very special job. Hitler was very clear about this. This job was that they should be good mothers bringing up children at home while their husbands worked. Except for some special fields, Hitler saw no reason why a woman should work. Within months of Hitler coming to power, many female doctors, teachers and lawyers were sacked. By the start of the Second World War, very few German women were in fulltime work. From their earliest years, girls were taught that all good German women married at a young age to a proper German and that the wife’s job was to keep a good home for her working husband and to have children.One of the earliest laws passed by Hitler once he came to power in 1933, was the Law for the Encouragement of Marriage.This law stated (声明) that all newly married couples would get a government loan (贷款) of 1000 marks. This loan was not to be simply paid back. The birth of one child meant that 25% of the loan did not have to be paid back. Two children meant that 50% of the loan didn’t need to be paid back. Four children meant that the entire loan was cleared.What was more, as housewives and mothers, their lives were controlled. Women were not expected to wear make-up or trousers. Only flat shoes were expected to be worn. Women were discouraged from slimming as this was considered bad for child birth.4. The aim of the Law for the Encouragement of Marriage was to ________.A. attract more young people to join the army willinglyB. make those married couples become rich quicklyC. encourage people to loan more from the governmentD. encourage couples to have as many children as they could5. The underlined word “sacked” in Paragraph one probably means “________”.A. punishedB. firedC. killedD. raised6. According to the passage, women in Nazi Germany ________.A. could make up or wear beautiful clothesB. were to have children and do houseworkC. could receive a good education at schoolD. were offered the equal rights as men7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. The life of women in Nazi GermanyB. The cruel rule of Hitler in GermanyC. The marriage policy in Nazi GermanyD. Hitler — a powerful leader in GermanyCOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen — Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me atmy worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!______ — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!8. When we provide help for our friends, we should _____.A. try to do everything for themB. put them before ourselvesC. change their bad habits firstD. ignore their faults9. What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?A. Life without a friend is death.B. A friend is easier lost than found.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. A man is known by his friends.10. Which of the following can be put in the blank of the last paragraph?A. Make plans.B. Enjoy yourself.C. Understand your friends.D. Play with your friends.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to find a good friend.B. How to help friends in trouble.C. How to be a good friend.D. How to make more friends.DA new book called “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” by Amy Chua has caused adebate (争论) about cultural differences in parenting. Amy Chua is a teacher in an American university and both of her parents are Chinese. In the book, Ms. Chua writes about how she taught her daughters. She told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters were not allowed to do, such as having a play date, watching TV or playing computer games and getting any grade less than an A.Many people are against Amy Chua’s parenting style (风格), even her husband, who is American. They say it is rude and unfair to children. But she says her parents raised her and her three sisters in that way.Ms. Chua says after her younger daughter shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” she decided to retreat because she was afraid of losing her daughter. But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities.“The debate is about what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child,” said Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting. She says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. It is a tradi-tional way of parenting among immigrants (移民). They hope to get a better future for their children.She also sees a risk (风险). When children have no time to be social or to develop their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.12. What do we learn about Amy Chua?A. She has three excellent daughters.B. She moved to the US at a young age.C. Her parents live together with her.D. Her husband dislikes her parenting style.13. Which of the following words can best describe Amy Chua?A. Polite.B. Cruel.C. Strict.D. Popular.14. According to Ms. DeBroff, _____.A. Amy Chua’s parenting style should be forbiddenB. Americans should learn from Amy ChuaC. parents should have their own parenting styleD. Amy Chua’s style is bad for children’s growth15. In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage?A. Business.B. Lifestyles.C. Sports.D. Culture.第二节完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高一下学期英语5月月考试题一、阅读理解1. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
The human athlete has a special trick that no other animal has. It is called self-talk. Athletes talk to themselves to warm up, to focus and to help themselves believe they will win. A few simple words like “I can do it!” and “It is now or never!” can make the difference between winning gold or not.Self-talk is also used by speakers, actors and other performers. Before a speech, politicians believe that their words will win votes. And, self-talk helps students stay calm even when stumped by hard exam questions. Self-talk is a life skill you can use wherever you are, whenever you need it.The whole idea of talking to themselves seems strange to many people. Imagine your teacher saying, “For homework, talk to yourself for half an hour tonight.” You might think he is playing a joke on your class. Instead, adults teach kids all about talking to other people. There are many books on why, when, what and how to communicate with the rest of the world. Thus, you can grow up knowing a lot more about people around you than about yourself.It is good to speak and listen to others. But there is great value in making time to listen to yourself. When you do, you get to know yourself better. Along the way, you may discover the power you have for using words well.Such ideas are so exciting to psychologists that they have been trying tolearn more about self-talk.

Americans drove more miles in 2015 than any year since the U.S. government started keeping records 45 years ago. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently reported that Americans drove a record of 3.148 trillion miles last year.
