I am spending a year in Galicia and, although it is certainly a beautiful part of the world, I think it rains more than in England.There are no plains here. It is a coastal area, and clouds and storms directly get pushed in from over the ocean with force. As I write, there is a heavy rain outside. I have three umbrellas. Two big ones and a little one which I keep on me 2 , just in case. Believe me what I tell you is all true.The problem is that very often, umbrellas offer no help at all. The wind is so strong that even the best umbrella in the world becomes useless. 3 , I often arrive at work with a dry head and shoulders (protected by my umbrella., but with wet feet and legs. The rain falls hard and fast, and there is no escaping it.When people from England think of Spain, they imagine beaches and sunshine. Those things are a world away from my experiences here in Galicia. But I’m not 4 . It is because of all this rain that the countryside here is so green and beautiful. In the town a very nice white wine is made. And there are beautiful beaches here in Galicia, although there probably is 5 on them at the moment.And most important of all is the people.

A new survey(调查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.So why don’t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their unused days; some busy workers say they just can’t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days than workers in any other country surveyed.The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40﹪plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.British workers have the longest working week in Europe(欧洲),with 23 vacation days --the shortest vacation. So they feel overworked.75﹪say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40﹪wouldsacrifice a day’s pay(工资)for one more vacation day.1．____________ U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days.A．All B．Most C．Some D．Few2．How many vacation days do Americans have on average each year in fact?A．9 B．12 C．15 D．233．Which country has the most workers working during the vacation days?A．America.

I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry．It seemed that Katie had been spending money in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They wondered why but failed．So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.The next day, I asked Katie to my office. “Why are you buying lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?” I asked. “I lose it,” she replied. “I don't believe you, Katie. Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?” I asked. “No. I just lose it,” she said．Well, there was nothing else I could do．The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad and scared. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “Katie”.Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn’t go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child.Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch．1．What did the writer think of Katie?A．She behaved well at school．B．She often tells lies at school．C．She often made trouble at school．D．She used to be a discipline problem．2．Why did Katie eat school lunch instead of her homemade lunch every day?A．She lost her homemade lunch．B．She had her homemade lunch stolen．C．She didn’t like the taste of her homemade lunch．D．She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy．3．How did Katie’s parents feel when they knew the truth about the lunch?A．They were very angry.B．They were quite proud．C．They were rather sad.D．They were so scared．4．What can we learn from the passage?A．Katie’s secret of lunch was discovered b y the writer．B．Katie was told that her parents had known her secret．C．Katie told the writer the truth of her lunch during their first talk．D．Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered．C15、Snowflakes! You can catch them on your tongue (舌头) or use them to make a perfect snowball. But have you ever thought about taking pictures of them? Ken Libbrecht did. He is a physics professor from California. Although the weather in California is usually warm and sunny, Ken’s hobby is taking pictures of snowflakes. He travels to cold areas like Alaska and Canada to find snowstorms and take pictures of the snowflakes. “They are often beautiful, and every snowfall brings new surprises,” says Ken.Ken takes pictures of snowflakes with a high-quality digital camera. He uses a microscope (显微镜) to make the tiny snowflakes larger. To get the best images, Ken built a special photo-microscope just for snowflakes. He collects flakes by letting them fall onto a piece of foam board (泡沫板).The pictures must be taken outdoors, so Ken wears lots of clothes to stay warm. But his fingers often get cold, because it’s difficult for him to take pictures of a tiny snowflake with gloves.Each snowflake has shapes and patterns (图案) that make it as unique (独特的) as a p erson’s fingerprint. The hobby of snowflake photography is also unique. Next time a snowstorm blows through your town, take a closer look at the flakes before you gather them into a snowball. See if you can notice their unique patterns. Millions of snowflakes are waiting for you!根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

" shouted mom and dad from the next room．They came into the kitchen and saw Marty was looking around for a gift．"I guess you think we forgot to get you a gift ，" said mom．Marty looked confused．"Well，you usually put my giftin the kitchen，" Marty said．Dad told Marty to follow him outside the house in the yard．"This is fantastic!" shouted Marty．"I don't take many pictures，and I probably wouldn't use the basketball much，and my bike is okay for now．But I will use the telescope! Thanks so much．" "You're welcome，" said mom anddad．All that night，Marty saw many beautiful stars and even the planet Mars．Marty would remember his tenth birthday for the rest of his life !24.What did Marty hope to get as a birthday gift most？______A.

In the attic．26.Marty would always remember his tenth birthday because ______ ．A. he discovered his interestB. he got what he wanted mostC. he realized he had grown upD. he found his birthday gift by himselfCHomeless people face a lot of challenges，such as not havingenough to eat and no job opportunities．Some of the most basicchallenges，however，are not having clean water and toiletries（卫生用品）-a big problem for homeless teens．Thatencouraged a young researcher to invent a multi-purposeproduct to help these teens．"I was born into a life of volunteering，" said 13- year-old LeiaGluckman．And that's true．Her mom is a president of anorganization providing help for homeless teens．Leia and her brother have volunteered there for years．When she was a young girl，Leia helped serve food where teens were eating．Now she's a teenager herself，and she's managing the toiletry and clothing work there．From her work at the center，Leia noticed that teens asked for some toiletries more than others．What they needed most often were toothpaste，body powder （粉）and shampoo （洗发水）．Leia wondered whether she could create a product to serve all three purposes．It would need to take away dirt and oil from skin and hair．It would need to clean teeth．Also，it would need to kill bacteria （病菌）without being harmful to people．She wanted her ingredients （产品成分）to be natural，to be able to break down easily and to taste and smell pleasant．Moreover，this product had to be low-cost and have a long shelf life．Leia started by going to stores and looking at the ingredient lists for toiletries．Then she tried eight different ways．She tested each way to see how well it worked．Not all of them worked well．But she finally decided on three．Each includes salt and baking powder．Salt helps clean teeth and skin；baking powder helps take in bad smells．She also has some other recipes which include some special materials that give her products different tastes and smells，which would let teens choose a product based on personal preferences．It wasn't easy，but Leia came up with some model products．She presented them at the finals of Broadcom MASTERS science competition．Leia wants to develop her products further．" Could it possibly be used to drive away mosquitoes （蚊子）？" she wonders．" Science offers a way to go about solving problems and helping people，" says Leia．And she thinks her products could benefit a great number of people，not just the homeless．Anyone in an area with little or no chance to get clean water could find her products useful，maybe refugees （难民）and soldiers who are sent to places without running water．27.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？______A. Leia has lived a life of volunteering for years．B. Leia and her brother helped their mom for years．C. Leia was born in a great family of volunteering．D. Leia's mom set up an organization for homeless teens．28.Leia's products meet homeless people's needs mostly because ______ ．A. they are cheap and naturalB. they can offer personal choicesC. they are used to drive away mosquitoesD. they can serve three purposes with little water29.According to the passage，we know that ______ ．A. Leia invented the product in order to win the MASTERS competitionB. Leia's invention came from her will to create and to help othersC. The family influence played a decisive role in Leia's inventionD. Leia believed that science could help solve problems easilyDVirtual （虚拟的）reality is a way to create a computer-made environment that brings the user into a virtual world．If you ever have put on a VR headset，you would know exactly what I am talking about．From an experiential view we do understand the idea，but what about the technical backend that goes into making it all possible？In this blog，we will understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basic terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR headset．The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating （模拟）the vision．Every headset is to perfect their method to create an immersive （浸人式）3D environment．Each VR headset puts up a screen or two in front of eyes，keeping the user away from any interaction with the real world．Two autofocus lenses （自动对焦镜片）are generally placed between the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement and positioning．The vision appears on the screen either by using a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC．To create a truly immersive virtual reality，there are certain requirements - a frame rate （帧率）of at least 60 fps，a refresh rate and at least 100-degree field of view （though 180 degrees is perfect）．If either of these doesn't work according to the standards，the user will experience too big of a time difference between their actions and the response from the screen．We need the response to be less than 20 ms （1/1000 second）to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the above in the right proportion （比例）．Another matter that needs to be looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differences between the frame rate and refresh rate．Apart from the image，there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive VR experience，holding the user's attention completely in the virtual environment．For example，sound effects，when put with the image，can create very attractive effects．By using a headphone and 3D sound effects，the user can totally believe in the virtual environment．While perfecting sound effects，proper care needs to be taken about the consistency （一致）between the pictures and the sound．If you start playing frightening music in the background of a happy scene，it will just put the user off．In future，we will see rapid progress in creating a truly immersive digital experience．With leading players like Google，Microsoft，Oculus，and HTC making great efforts to improve the capabilities （性能），we are not far from achieving a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real world．If you would like to develop a VR app for your business，then feelfree to get in touch．With over 10 years of experience in mobile technologies，we can make every dream a reality．30. A VR headset helps the user ______ ．A. create the vision on the screenB. understand the technical backendC. better experience a 3D environmentD. keep interaction with the real world31.The words " put the user off" in Paragraph 4 probably mean " ______ "A. take the user's attention awayB. get the user interestedC. hold the user's imagination backD. help the user understand32.What is the main purpose of writing this passage？______A. To give a short introduction of VR．B. To do business with certain readersC. To predict the bright future of VR．D. To share experiences with readers33.What can we learn from the passage？______A. The lower degree field of view，the better images．B. Sound effects are more important than the image for VR．C. Some big companies may create a VR better than the real world soonD. The brain can tell the time difference when the response is more than 20ms四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．Paperless homework will affect students' handwritingA growing number of primary schools in Shanghai are now encouraging "paperless"homework．Instead of writing with a pen，children can finish their homework simply by "surfing and typing" on their iPad screens．Many people welcome the use of this new technology in schools．And it isn't difficult to understand why digital homework could be the next big thing in education ：it reduces waste；makes it easier for teachers to collect homework；and now that everything else is digitalized，homework should too．But there's an overlooked downside to online homework，as it shows an alarming trend （趋势）：how technology is affecting physical handwriting．In today's digital age，handwriting is already a weakening skill．Can you remember the last time you used a pen？For me，it was when I had to fill out a form at work．To be honest，I couldn't write quite a few characters and had to type them on my iPhone to remind me of how to write them correctly．I know I'm not alone．There are more saying they share similar embarrassment （尴尬）when asked to write by hand．In a time when computers，smart phones and keyboards are widely used in the world，is handwriting even important？The answer is yes．Handwriting plays an important role in the learning process．Writing a character is more difficult than typing．It requires the body and mind work together actively．So for school-age children，writing not only allows them to memorize characters，but also trains their brains the way typing can't．Too many children，lost in technology，lie on a sofa or in bed with their smartphones or iPads - a seldom mentioned side effect of modern technology，which may lead to physical problems later．All said，I'm not saying that digital homework should be canceled．Digitalization is anunstoppable trend．But for courses such as Chinese and English language，I hope to see digital homework introduced later into the courses，at least after children have had the ability to write characters and spell words well．How do children finish their paperless homework？______Why do many people welcome digital homework？______What happened when the writer used a pen to fill out a form at work？______Why is handwriting important for school-age children？______What does the writer think of digital homework？______五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共30.0分）35.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作．文中已给出内容不计入总数．所给提示词语仅供选用．请不要写出你的校名和姓名．假如你是李华，你们学校将要举办一场阅读沙龙（Reading

It said, “Happiness is a direction, not a destination (终点).” I had bee n having a bad day and just reading this brightened my day a little. I also took out a pen and wrote one of my favorite quotes (格言) down. When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting as the first one. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be mad at me for writing on his fence; he was not known to be very friendly. He gave me a sharp glance and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he said something to himself and then went back inside. I was a bit terrified for a while, afraid to go back to the fence, but when I did, I noticed not more quotes but two words in entirely different handwriting had been added, “Thank you.”Later, I saw the old man in his front yard.

And he needs to learn to find his strongpoints and discover what is really important in his life. ______(3) There are quite a lot of things in Sally's bedroom. They have taken up so much space thatshe wants to make her bedroom clean and tidy. ______BOh no, Jon had done it again. He had forgotten something important. Last year on their family trip to his uncle's house for Christmas, he had forgotten the bag with the toiletries in it. So he had to borrow from his cousins who weren't so happy to share, and Jon was not pleased that his hair smelled like strawberries all week.And now, Jon couldn't believe he had forgotten to bring his pajamas. But it was a tradition for Jon's family to take photos on Christmas morning in front of the tree in their pajamas. Jon was feeling awful. He would be the first one ever to break the family tradition. Would he destroy Christmas for everyone？What could he do？He didn't want to tell his parents. He went looking around the house, and found an old T-shirt. That could work. He tried putting it on, but it was too small. He got so desperate（绝望的）that he went through his brother's bag, trying to find some spare pajamas, only to find himself in trouble when he was caught. Then his brother told their parents.Jon's parents listened quietly. They were not angry at him for not bringing pajamas. They were not even upset that he had gone through his brother's bag. They were unhappy that Jon didn't talk to them about his problem first. They hugged him and told him everything would be just fine. Morning came, and the family stood around the Christmas tree. Everyone was in pajamas except Jon. His uncle asked the family to come together for a photo. Jon felt terrible."Just a minute, "Jon's mother said. "Before we take the Christmas photo, I have a special gift for Jon. Open this, honey. "Jon looked at his mother curiously. They never opened presents before the photo. She smiled at him and said, "Go ahead, it'll all be okay. "As soon as he opened the present, he smiled widely and gave his mother a big hug."I'll be ready for that photo in just one minute, guys!"Jon said, racing off to his room.22. What was Jon's problem this Christmas______A. He wore a T-shirt for the photo.B. He left his pajamas at home.C. He forgot to bring his toothbrush.D. He opened presents too early.23. This year, Jon solved the problem with the help of his ______ .A. uncleB. brotherC. cousinsD. mother24. From his experience, Jon may probably learn that ______ .A. it's necessary to keep a family traditionB. it's OK for kids to ask their parents for helpC. cousins should be ready to offer help to each otherD. parents should encourage their kids to face difficultiesCThere has never been a common language in history, so we remain divided by language barriers （障碍）. But in every language, there's something that we share — the understanding and use of names. The practice of giving someone a name is so natural that we almost never think about what it means. Only in recent years has the journey begun to understand how powerful names truly are. It's commonly understood that you're not really "allowed"to give yourself a name — it must be given to you by someone else. That tells us our first thing about names — they're not solitary（孤立的）. One might think your name is your business, but in reality, it influences everyone around you. That's not to say others have control over your name, but names are, in and of themselves, a symbol of one's relationship to others around them. Take my name, for example：Brianna. That's what's on my ID card. But if I go to class, I might be"Miss Lindsey". If I go to the library, I might be called"Bri"by my classmates. If I go home, I'm everything from "Bama Lama"to "Clown". Are these my names？Yes and no.The point of this argument is that names are not meaningless sounds. Names express the spirit of who we think we are. If you always had to answer to the nickname（绰号）"Chatterbox", it might be funny at first, but time would wear down the humor, and you would begin to connect yourself with the meaning of that name. Moreover, we live in a world where impression is king. How we feel is directly influenced by others' impressions of us, and names are one of the most powerful ways through which we understand their impressions of us.So, whether it's a birth name, a chosen name, or a nickname, there's always more to what you're called than is on the surface. Birth names are gifts, titles are agreements, nicknames are often inside jokes. We are composed of thousands of stories, and names are how we express those connections to everyone.We often hear the phrase"what's in a name"thrown around to show how little the effect what we call something has, but the truth is：What's in a name？Everything.25. What can we learn from the passage？______A. Names can hardly shape our character.B. Names show who we are in others' eyes.C. Names on people's ID cards aren't actually useful.D. Names are creative expressions chosen by oneself.26. If a girl often answers to the nickname Walking Dictionary, she might ______ .A. begin to believe she has a large vocabularyB. think good learning depends on great dictionariesC. realize having a nickname improves her sense of humorD. agree having a large vocabulary matters most in a relationship27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？______A. What is really in a nameB. How to use a name properly？C. How to give a meaningful name？D. Why do we need a powerful name？DAvoid conflicts with I-statementsIt's easy to point fingers when in a heated conversation. Wouldn't it be great to change the direction of it and avoid conflicts（冲突）with one word？It's possible. Conflicts often start and become worse by our choice of words. Words like"You are so…"or"How could you…？" start conversations on a bad note. Instead, start with an "I"and center on your thoughts and feelings about the matter.Dr. Thomas Gordon coined the term I-message in the 1960s. I-message also known as I-statement is a form of sentence meant for expressing your thoughts without criticizing others.I-statements enable you to express your opinion without using upsetting language. For example, "I forgot to ask you for directions after you invited me to come, "is better than"You invited me so you should've given me the directions. "In this way, you avoid getting into an argument with others or directly pointing out the other person's mistake. Also, you carefully make them realize what's going on, showing them how the situation makes you feel. Doing so clears up things, and you can finally have a meaningful, two-way conversation.I-statements are useful in any conversation when you want to tell your side of the story in a more agreeable and reasonable way. Using an I-statement can also lead to necessary changes and even add warmth to your relationships. Strangers you come across will find you pleasant and considerate. You and your friends will continue to build trust in each other.Yet not all statements（陈述）that begin with"I"are effective in avoiding conflicts. For example, "I feel like you're responsible for this, "is as upsetting as"You're wrong. " Thomas Gordon also said that to successfully use an I-statement, your words should match your tone （语调）, facial expressions, body language, and how you feel.What's more, an I-statement also has its drawbacks. The repeated use of"I"can make you appear self-centered, especially in some cultures. Some may even think you're weak and unable to understand opinions that aren't yours. You have to be careful not to use the I-statement in a manner that destroys your effort to politely voice your real intention（意图）. All in all, correctly using the I-statement in conversations is a good way to avoid misunderstandings. By addressing a matter with instead of immediately holding the other person responsible, you can keep respect and trust in your relationships. Whether it involves a classmate or a family member, expressing yourself well is key. Practice using I-statements effectively and you'll be amazed how something so simple can make a huge difference inyour social life.28. When you use an I-statement in a conversation, you ______ .A. calmly point fingers without voicing your opinionB. directly get into an argument with the other personC. unknowingly change your thoughts about the matterD. carefully express yourself to avoid misunderstandings29. According to the passage, which of these statements would help you avoid conflicts？______A. You should book a table earlier.B. You never allow me to do anything fun.C. I get nervous when you raise your voice.D. I think you always make decisions without me.30. The word " " in the last paragraph probably means " ______ ".A. great eagerness to be rightB. readiness to give upC. willingness to examine yourselfD. a shortage of confidence31. The writer would probably agree that ______ .A. I-statements show one's inability to understand othersB. I-statements should be avoided in order not to appear self-centeredC. using I-statements can surely result in perfect two-way communicationD. using I-statements properly leads to improvements in one's relationships北京市西城区2021-2022学年九年级上学期期末英语试卷二、阅读理解（每题2 分，共26 分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Whenever we look at it, we should stop for a while and think about what it stands for." I was enjoying the words in the book when my wife called me to help our neighbor, Mrs. Fitzpatrick.I opened the front door and saw Mrs. Fitzpatrick sitting on her porch, (13) her lawn (草坪)."Ah, Tom! Good to see you!" she waved at me and smiled happily. "Here, come sit with me for a while. It's a beautiful morning!""Err, yes, it sure is," I said. I hadn't expected her to be this (14) with a broken leg and all."Look at my lawn! Isn't it just beautiful?" she said."Beautiful...?" I looked around. Weeds (杂草), dandelions..."Look at those dandelions. What a perfect symbol for happiness!""I'm not sure I follow you. A dandelion as a symbol for happiness?""Look at that bright beautiful yellow color! If that isn't a happy cheerful color, I don't know what is! And it (15) just like happiness.

And just like a dandelion—it blooms (开花), sharing its sunny color with everyone and sends its seeds (种子) into the wind. Before you know it, you have a hundred (17) of the sunny little flower around you." "But it is a weed..." I said."A weed, that's funny. I'm always watching everyone work on their garden. And I mean work. It doesn't look very joyful—just working to make the lawn look short and thick and green. I never see any of the neighbors sit and just look at their beautiful lawn. They just work on it and don't (18) it."Well she sure got that one right. I never heard anyone talk about their lawn unless it was to complain how much work it was.And then she said the thing I wrote down once I got home.

You can help out at an organization, and it can benefit you too. We hope you'll feel more interested in volunteering yourself after reading these stories.Elliott I began volunteering with Berkeley Animal Shelter at age 12. I helped get cats adopted(收养), cleaned up after them, fed them, and gave them love and attention. I really feel like I've made a difference. There's nothing like watching a cat go out the door with a happy new pet parent.ElleI volunteered for the Native Plant Society at age 14. I helped save the local plants. Instead of just "being passionate(热情的)", I actively worked on making it happen. Volunteering made me a better person. I realized I could do more than I thought.KennyWhen I was 15 years old, I volunteered on Earth Day by helping clean up a local beach. We really don't realize how much rubbish is produced every day. Volunteering on the beach taught me that it was important to keep our beaches clean and helped me learn about different sea animals.LauraMy dad asked me to volunteer at our local Meals on Wheels when I was 13 years old. We volunteered every Saturday morning by sending hot meals to some old people in our town. They were unable to make their own food. This experience made me think a lot more about other people and their needs.21.How old was Elliott when he began volunteering with Berkeley Animal Shelter?A. 12.B. 13.C. 14.D. 15.22.Who volunteered for the Native Plant Society?A.

She must help more cats find pet parents.D. She should think more about people in need.BWilliam had his nose pressed against the window and waited for his adopted puppy to arrive. A car pulled into the driveway, and he ran to the front door. William looked at the puppy's little brown face and immediately fell in love with her. Dad put the puppy down, and she ran to William, giving him some kisses. "Her name is Buttercup," Dad said. William looked at the puppy. "Buttercup. I like it." After about an hour, the puppy fell asleep. William went to his room and played on his own, but he quickly got bored. He went to the living room and asked his Mum and Dad, "Can we go to the park?"Mom shook her head. "Sorry, sweetie, but we need to stay at home and help Buttercup get used to her new environment.""Why don't you play with her?" Dad asked.William played with Buttercup until she fell asleep again. "Can we go to the park now? She's sleeping." "William, a puppy is a big responsibility," Dad said. "You said you were ready for this, and that means you have to help us look after her and train her."William went to his room again. Everyone was excited: all they wanted to do was play with the puppy or watch her sleep. William was bored.Dad walked into William's room. "You know how you like to play catch with Uncle Mike's dog?""Yeah?""Why don't you try playing with Buttercup?" "She's too little," William said."Not with this ball." Dad held up a soft fuzzy ball.William nodded. He rolled the ball to her, and she held it with her paws. "Good girl," William said. They played for hours, and by the time Buttercup fell asleep on the floor, William was curled up (蜷曲地) next to her, sleeping too.24.When the puppy arrived, William felt ______.A. tiredB. proudC. excitedD. bored25.What did William do after the puppy got to his home?A. He ran with the puppy in the park.B. He happily watched the puppy sleep.C. He gave the puppy a name Buttercup.D. He tried to train the puppy to play catch.26.What did William's parents want him to learn?A. How to be responsible.B. How to stop being bored.C. How to be kind to animals.D. How to correct his own mistakes.CfeatherSome animals are "shapeshifting". This means they are changing how their bodies work. Scientists have found that birds' beaks are larger because of the changing climate (气候). Today, the global climate is rapidly warming.Scientists found warm-blooded animals can keep their body temperature constant (恒定). They are adapting to a hotter climate. To adapt means to change. Adaptations help animals stay alive in their environment.How Animals Cool OffAnimals have to control their body temperature. If they do not, they can overheat. So animals have different methods to help them cool off. Birds, for example, use their beaks, which are not covered by feathers. They help birds reduce body heat. Mammals (哺乳动物), which breathe air, have backbones, grow hair and produce milk, use similar methods. They use their ears, tails and legs to help them control body temperature.Scientists have studied this in the past years. They have studied animals in warmer climates. They know that some of these animals have evolved (进化) certain features. These features allow animals to reduce body heat more easily. They are becoming more obvious as the climate warms. This is particularly true in birds.Sara Ryding works at Deakin University in Australia and studies birds. "Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are dealing successfully with climate change and that all is fine," Ryding said. "It just meansthey are evolving to stay alive." The study found that birds are changing the most. For example, several types of Australian parrots showed changes. Their beak size has increased since 1871. Their beaks are now 4% to 10% larger. And that growth matches the summer temperature each year. Scientists have also reported changes in other animals. Tail lengths have increased in wood mice. Bats in warm climates have increased wing size, too. These changes might seem small, but Ryding says that could change as the planet becomes hotter.Ryding wants to keep studying "shapeshifting". She will 3D scan museum bird samples (样品) from the past 100 years. She will see which birds are changing the size of their beaks because of climate change by studying digital copies of bird samples. Ryding thinks the climate change that we have created is putting pressure (压力) on animals, so humans should do more than just recognize the changes that animals have to make. She says that some animals will adapt. However, others will not.27.In "shapeshifting", ______.A. birds breathe air and change backbonesB. bird samples are made into digital copiesC. birds use their feathers to easily reduce body heatD. birds' beaks grow larger because of climate change28.Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 5 and 6?A. What Animals Look LikeB. All Is Not WellC. Though Life Is ChallengingD. It Is Worth A Try29.According to the last paragraph, Ryding probably agrees that ______.A. animals are suffering from human behaviorB. technology won't end animal "shapeshifting”C. humans haven't realized animal "shapeshifting" yetD. it is natural for animals to experience climate changeDHow GPS Weakens Memory — and What We Can Do about ItUsing mobile phones to navigate (导航) has become second nature. Whether you're heading to a new park or meeting friends at a restaurant, you just enter the address on your phone and go. Without GPS, exploring (探索) and wayfinding in new places required preparation. We had to think, check paper maps, and plan and memorize ways there. But today there is no need to think. Simply follow the turn-by-turn directions on your phone, and you'll end up where you need to be. However, your overall sense of the place suffers. Spatial (空间的) navigation used to be a process performed by the human brain and perceptual system, but now people have surrendered it to technology.There are areas of the brain that deal with these difficult pathfinding tasks. In particular, the hippocampus is related to spatial memory, spatial navigation and mental (在脑中的) mapping. Studies show that we can exercise the hippocampus memory through exploration and spatial navigation. For example, expert navigators like London taxi drivers have larger hippocampi compared to other people. However, when we follow a set of turn-by-turn directions, GPS navigation apps treat us as passive passengers rather than active explorers. In turn, this stops us from being able to create proper mental maps, and has an effect on the hippocampus, which is very important for brain health.While improvements in technology clearly have many benefits, we must remain mindful that technology can influence the brain. Our question is: Can we find a way to still use GPS but reduce the harmful effects on memory?The challenge is to create other forms of GPS navigation that will remain easy enough for the general public, and at the same time, enable people to improve their spatial sense. Our research finds that properly designed audio beacons (音频信标) offer a much more active form of GPS navigation. For example, with an audio beacon at a hospital, when we are two miles away from the hospital, we can hear a sound through our phone. In recent experiments, we discover that this type of sensory navigation through audio beacons does better than turn-by-turn navigation in the creation of mental maps. We believe these results, at least in part, come from people taking a more active role in their navigation.GPS navigation using audio beacons offers a good example that helps humans connect more deeply with reality; perhaps instead of turning into mindless robots, we will be able to become more deeply involved with humanity, our local environment, and life itself.30.GPS weakens people's memory because it ______.A. records the places people have been toB. offers people more than one way to a placeC. takes the place of thinking process in wayfindingD. fails to teach people how to prepare for exploring31.The words "have surrendered it to" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.A. have compared it toB. have given it up toC. have learned it fromD. have taken it away from32.London taxi drivers are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show that ______.A.

With so much to stay on top of, it's easy for them to become stressed out and disorganized. They need help to improve focus andconcentration through games. Here are some games that improve concentration, attention andmemory.BrainteasersBrainteasers give the teenage mind a workout. Brainteasers challenge players with simple-looking tasks, such as matching and recalling patterns. However, they test and improve focus by requiring the player to use speed and logic (逻辑). They also improve concentration, attention, reaction and other cognitive (认知的) skills when played often. Challenge teenagers to complete one or two brainteasers every night from an activity book or website. Riddles and puzzles also exercise cognitive abilities related to focus.Physical ChallengesPhysical exercise is important for healthy teenage development in several ways. Not only does exercise keep the body fit and in shape, but it also helps strengthen the mind by supplying more oxygen (O2) to the brain, helping it process and recall information and awakening brain cells (细胞).Get teenagers outside so that they can develop social skills. Challenge teenagers to relay races, jump rope or hula-hooping competitions, volleyball or other games that encourage physical activity.Board GamesBoard games such as chess and checkers aren't the only games that improve concentration, focus and problem-solving skills. Even silly games for a group of players can improve cognitive abilities such as memory, concentration and focus. Laughter and lighthearted play during family game night stimulate (促进) areas of the brain related to creativity and learning while encouraging socialization that improves brain health.(1) Besides their studies, what do teenagers often do?__________________________________(2) What games challenge players with simple-looking tasks?__________________________________(3) How can physical exercise help strengthen the mind?__________________________________(4) What can stimulate areas of the brain related to creativity and learning during family game night?__________________________________(5) Which game mentioned in the passage is your favorite?

For 16 years, she loved her dear pet cat Blondie very much and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. It is totally understandable that she had a special feeling for Blondie because she'd saved her from a building in Forth Worth. But recently, shortly after she and her husband had realized that Blondie seemed to be getting sick, the elderly cat died in her arms on her way to the pet hospital. Naturally, Mrs. Andrews was heart-broken.After Blondie's death, Mrs. Andrews went to work every day, feeling upset. She couldn't help but share the sad news of her sad loss with some of herstudents at Joshua High School in Joshua, TX, and shortly after, a few of the girls in her class came up with a few surprises to cheer her up.As one student filmed the moment, the girls first gave her some white roses, followed by cupcakes and balloons to express their care. Mrs. Andrews seemed touched, but it was their next surprise that deeply moved her and that everyone was talking about.All that the shocked teacher could seem to say was, "Are they for me" as she held the baby cats named Missy and Girlie."I knew something was going on when only half of my class was in my room, second period the next day when the bell rang," Andrews told the Huffington Post, feeling thankful. "Then she held them out to me and said they were mine. My heart can now experience happiness again.What the high school students did is really meaningful, especially for people who have gone through loss, like Tonya Andrews. The good news is that it certainly looks like it was worth all the effort. Tonya Andrews finally was happy when her students did kind things for her.(1)Why did Mrs. Andrews have a special feeling for BlondieBlondie got sick. she was always lonely.Blondie was her first pet. she saved Blondie from a building.(2)What did Mrs. Andrews do after Blondie diedshared the sad news with her students.bought two baby cats, Missy and Girlie.got into an argument with her husband.gave up her job al Joshua High School.(3)According to the passage, what are Mrs. Andrews' students likeand honest. and caring.and active and strong-willed.16CZoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thingThose people who are against zoos would argue thatanimals often suffer（遭受痛苦） physically and mentally by being enclosed. Even the best man-made environments can't come close to matching the space, diversity （多样性） , and freedom that animals have in their natural homes. This causes many zoo animals to become sick. Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, ocean parks often force dolphins and whales to perform. There sea animals may die years earlier than their wild relatives.On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to saveanimals and their homes. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses, or pets which have been given up and no longer wanted. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness.One of the most important modern functions of zoos issupporting international breeding （繁衍）programs, especially for endangered species （物种） . In the wild, some of the species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding, and they might also be hurt or even killed by people. A good zoo will enable, these species to live and breed in a safe environment. In addition, as numbers of some wild species drop, there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically （基因上） similar. Breeding programs provide a safeguard: zoo-bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity.However, those people who are against zoos say that many zoo-bred animals are not put back into the wild. A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks in South Africa, where some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helpless animal. Often, these animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.So, are zoos good for animals or not Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong.(1)According to Paragraph 2, some sea animals may die earlier than their wild relatives because.were born in the ocean park don't have enough living spaceare forced to behave, unnaturally suffer from family separation(2)What is the main purpose of international breeding programincrease genetic diversity. protect mistreated animals.free enclosed animals. do research on animal behavior.

In 2011, America's Favorite Quiz Show held a competition between two men and an IBM computers named "Watson" . IBM describes Watson as "a technology that understands all of data and also reasons and learns." Both men thought they could beat Watson. Instead, the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly bested both of the human beings.ARTIFICLAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence refers to machines with human-like intelligence, such as problem-solving and learning. In order to be considered Al, the computer must pass the Turing test, named after Alan Turing, a British mathematician who worked with the first computers.In the 1950s, Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting （互动）with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a "machine" believed they were actually interacting with a human being, then the computer could be considered as Al.A simple example of Al is Apple's Siri. Ask Siri to do anything, from calling a friend to booking a dinner table, and Siri can do it. Siri seems almost human. When you ask, "Are you a real person" Siri answers, "That is a really personal question."But, just because a system can behave like humans does not mean it can think like humans. Or, does itJOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices（设备）will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work.Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being, like with Siri. It does not seem at all to think that Al may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened, it likely will happen in the near future.Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings Although computers have the ability to make our life better, is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the endWHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in the future, we're going to see a human-machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger, live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, believes that within 50 years, the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will be a part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out to be moreof a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten（威胁到） humanity as we know it If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics, humans won't have a problem with machines; but for some, evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on earth.(1)The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that.age of machines has come make their own enemieshas actually come into our life playing a dangerous(2)From the passage we can learn that.test was designed to examine the first computersinteracting with humans can be called AIcan volunteer to book a dinner tablewill help humans to be stronger and smarter(3)What does the underlined expression "a human-machine hybrid" probably meanmachine with a human look human created by machinebody part robotic part human robot that can behave like humans (4)The passage mainly about.history and future of AI advantages and disadvantages of AIexamples of AI competition between humans and AI任务型阅读18Albino PowerI was born an albino（白化病患者）in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1945. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was, what it meant to be an albino, what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents and friends treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It gave me a leg up on trusting myself, so when troubles came along, I could deal with them.True, my schoolbook photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of eyes. Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, but the fact that I could hardly see didn't worry me all that much.Kids laughed at me, calling me "Whitey". People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight or nine, movie-theater workers started asking me to pay adult prices because I "looked older".The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldn't play sports very well. I didn't give up trying, though. I practiced playing basketball every day. And I studied harder.Finally, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college, I was double majoring（专业）, going to summer school and taking part in every kind of after-class activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make " albino" a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes —and in sports.I couldn't see well enough to play sports, but with a good and long-lasting education and the drive to do it, I could make a living involved in the area I loved. I've done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I'm the only "blind editor（编辑）" they know, but the jokes are friendly smiles now, and some of them are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino.I have even developed an all-white routine, if you could call it that.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to get over difficulties, become confident, and be proud of my personal achievement.(1)How did the writer's parents and friends treat him(2)Why couldn't the writer play sports very well(3)What was the writer doing by the time he got to college(4)What does the writer think of the "blind editor" jokes now(5)What does "Albino Power" mean to the writer书面表达19从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。
