Did you think the judge had blown his whistle for something?M: No, ①the opposition goalkeeper fell ①over and injured himself. It wouldn’t have been right if I scored then.

They focus more on real social issues and historical events, for example those written by Émile Zola or Charles Dickens.W: Yes, the books written toward the middle and end of the century tended to be a bit darker, didn’t they?M: Definitely. Dickens is probably my favorite novelist of all time, although my favorite book has to be Les Misérables by Victor Hugo.

Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758 — 1843). He was a teacher who reformed (改革) English to make American identity (特征) stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous(unreasonable), he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity (统一) and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.“He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.”4.Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary?A.It has local words in it.B.It is a 70,000-word dictionary.C.All the words are spelled without “u”.D.Its words are in American-style spelling.5.What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Depend on.B.Trust in.C.Put up with.D.Give up. 6.What do people think of Webster’s dictionary?A.It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.B.It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.C.It has no influence on the development of American English.D.It helped to make American English more useful than British English.7.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.The development of the British English.B.American English is better than British English.C.Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.D.Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.COne August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.8.It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.A.there are huge noisesB.strangers are approachingC.the air is filled with food smellD.the hottest season comes around9.Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.A.have no after-effectsB.suffer from sharper painC.surely lose his lifeD.become more sensitive10.Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.A.he was unable to speak clearlyB.his radio equipment was poorC.he was in a state of shockD.no one was on duty11.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Allen, A Helpless DriverB.Wasps, Bloody KillersC.A Race Against DeathD.War Against WaspsDArmy ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds.Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的).However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area.Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing.Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs.12.What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1?A.Their migration.B.Their distribution.C.Their living habits.D.Their hunting targets.13.What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ?A.It becomes longer constantly.B.It keeps unchanged once built.C.It achieves the shortest distance.D.It is adjusted according to the needs.14.What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3?A.Reduce.B.Calculate.C.Neglect.D.Judge.15.What is the writing purpose of the text ?A.To stress the importance of cooperation.B.To explain army ants’ incredible strength.C.To show army ants’ collective intelligence.D.To indicate the harmony between nature and human.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated (躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely — a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice”.“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine.The book talks about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school to graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book and a short-story collection. 4.What can we know about Cisneros in her childhood?A.Her brothers disliked her.B.She felt herself a nobody.C.She was too shy to go to school.D.She did not meet any good teachers.5.The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to ________.A.run away from her family B.develop her writing styleC.make a lot of friends D.search for a husband6.According to Cisneros, what was the key factor in her success?A.Her childhood experience.B.Her training in the Workshop.C.Her feeling of being different.D.Her early years in college.7.What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?A.It enjoys great popularity among students.B.It is a book of poetry written by Cisneros.C.It wasn’t a success as it was written in Spanish.D.It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.The news industry has had a rough decade. Print readership is steadily decreasing, newspapers are closing, and journalists with decades of experience are being laid off. In response, major newspapers have made significant changes. They’re attempting to defeat declining reader interest by shortening stories, creating clickbait (诱饵性标题), and most especially, using social media to their advantage.With the rise of social media sites, many people have claimed that we are entering a new age in which news must be delivered in 140 characters or fewer. People’s ability to focus onlong-form content and engage in deep reading has also been declining due to the endless distractions and excessive information in today’s world. This change in reading habits has led to a preference for short, easily understood news pieces that can be quickly consumed. To interest a more specific and generally younger readership, newspapers have revised content, prioritizing articles that are visually appealing instead of having depth.But, in reality, there is still a demand for in-depth reporting. In this era of misinformation and clickbait, readers are seeking reliable sources of news that provide context, analysis, and accountability. Depth reporting explores the fundamental causes, involves multiple views, and uncovers the hidden truths that shape our world, helping readers get a more comprehensive understanding of complex matters.While social media have changed the way we consume news, the quality of news remains essential for the public. It’s crucial for the news industry to achieve a balance between catering to changing reader preferences while also maintaining the integrity (完整性) of news. This means providing both quick updates and in-depth analysis, and using social media to promote their content, but not at the expense of accuracy or integrity. By doing so, news organizations can ensure that they remain relevant and trusted sources of information in a rapidly changing media environment.8.What problem does traditional news industry face?A.The decline of readership.B.The lack of long-form stories.C.The spread of unreliable information.D.The shortage of experienced journalists.9.What does the underlined word “prioritizing” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Checking out.B.Cutting down.C.Paying no attention to.D.Attaching importance to.10.What do we know from paragraph 3?A.People’s need for in-depth reporting is decreasing.B.Social media has played a key role in promoting hidden facts.C.Clickbait greatly increases readers’ interests in exploring truths.D.In-depth reporting can improve comprehension of complex issues.11.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.A focus on quick updates and popular topics.B.Preference for multiple perspectives and shorter articles.C.A balance between readers’ preferences and the quality of news.D.Importance of news sources and accuracy of contents.About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms (算法) to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics.Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar.Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we’re unlikely to click away from but won’t find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listener’s attention.Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption.In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social. media posts to algorithm-drivencontent has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chayka’s insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world.12.According to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years?A.They show posts in a time-based order.B.They prioritize posts from friends and family.C.They make adjustments to satisfy users’ needs.D.They provide more content to meet different needs.13.What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations?A.They make users more active consumers.B.They shape users’ preferences and behaviors.C.They reduce the influence of content creators.D.They expose users to diverse and challenging content.14.How do algorithms influence musicians’ work on digital platforms?A.By encouraging musicians to create longer songs.B.By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks.C.By giving musicians more control and choice over their music.D.By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms.15.What can be concluded from the text?A.Tech companies should have more departments.B.Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities.C.Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decisions for us.D.Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years.Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important?It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. 16 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.17 When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.It provides historical context. 18 This is why people devote their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 19In therapy(疗法)settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 20 In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.A.These are its major benefits.B.Children love to draw, sing, and dance.C.Art and human history go hand-in-hand.D.How does it have an impact on our life?E.It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.F.It can help people handle both their past and present problems.G.Similarly, future generations will learn about our current events through our art.二、完形填空My mother has always been one of those rare people that sees the good in everyone and does good things. She’s had her ups and downs but has always 21 a positive, sunny outlook on life and been very 22 to people.One day, my little sister fell and hurt her ankle, desperately needing a 23 to the hospital emergency room.

If I am going to be a punchline(笑柄), I'd rather be the author of the joke.There was a lot of name-calling. Some cruel, some not. I have blocked out much of the cruel In junior high, a well-meaning acquaintance called me Stretch. In university, I was Shortly brought on myself when a friend said,"I'll see you shortly,"to which I replied,"Sounds good, and don't call me Shortly.Jokes and nicknames aside, there were some real challenges as a short person. Studies have shown short men tend to make less money on average. This is why I hated in-person job interviews.I always feared my height would cost me an opportunity. I always felt judged, real or not.As I get older, and obviously wiser, it doesn't get to me as much. There are some benefits of being short. I find airplane seats spacious. I am good at hide and seek. I rarely bump my head.Would I still want to be taller? Of course. But I wouldn't be me. I am me because I'm short. And Ilike who I am.It's such a part of me that I cheer on fellow short people. Lionel Messi is the greatest soccer player of all time (and even he gets mocked) Bruno Mars may be the original short king. Small victories.I don't remember when I became okay with being short.

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

Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. But do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy and friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask some questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “no”. You nod, and people know you are saying“yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door tells you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue sea and many other things.

At once she called her mother, who was in the kitchen.“Listen to this, mother!” She cried, “I have found an easy way to earn money.” “What is it?” her mother asked, coming into the room. “Listen”, said the girl, and read the news, “Do you want to earn money? Give me one pound together with a stamp to earn money.” “Send me one pound together with a stamp and t hen tell me where you live, you will receive a letter showing you how to earn hundreds of pounds when you stay at home.”“I don’t believe that”, said the mother, “you will only lose one pound and two stamps; if he knows how to do that, why does he do it himself? Why does he need to say it in the newspaper? You won’t get an answer.” “Well, mother, one pound isn’t much” she said, “I can try!” With these words she went to the post office.Two or three days later, she received a letter. There were only four words on a small piece of paper “Do as I do.”( ) 41. The young woman was ______.A. In a factoryB. a studentC. thinking of finding a jobD. reading a book( ) 42.

Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 meters (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo.Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings.Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years.They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built.In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.( ) 46. How is bamboo like grass?A. It grows quickly.B. It’s wood.C. It is easy to cut.D. It is very thin.( ) 47. Though you can see bamboo everywhere, it doesn’t grow.A. in ChinaB. in EuropeC. on mountainsD. in Africa( ) 48. Why is bamboo used by African poor farmers?

In Asia, bamboo has been used for .A. a short timeB. thousands of yearsC. hundreds of yearsD. about 100 yearsC“It hurts me more than you” and “This is for your own good” are what my mother used to say years ago when I had to learn French, clean my room, stay at home and do homework.However, today the story is quite different. Most parents take a let-alone policy. We parents stopped making our children do homework. We gave them computers, turned on the TV for them, left the teaching to the teachers and took them to go on holidays.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, come to know that we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher says of her students---“so passive(被动的)” and believes their passivity has something to do with TV. “We are talking about a generation of children who have never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will do it for them. Instead of saying “go and do it yourself” you tell them the answer. It takes great courage to say “no” to child.Yes, it’s time for parents to end their holidays and come back to work. It’s time to turn the TV off, to tell them “it hurts me more than you” and “it’s for your own good”. It’s time to start telling the m “no” again.( ) 51. When the writer was a child, his mother ______.A. was very strict with himB. took a let-alone policyC. offered him enough time for playD. didn’t take good care of him ( ) 52. Now children are becoming less active in their studies mainly because______.A. they have to do houseworkB. They watch TV too muchC. the housework is too difficult for themD. they have little time for play ( ) 53. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Today’s children are quite different from those 15 years ago.B. Children should be encouraged to do what they can do.C. Computers are of great help to children in their studies.D. It is a bad thing for children to depend on their parents too much.( ) 54. What’s th e main idea of the passage?A. Parents should leave their children alone.B. Parents ought to leave the teaching to the teachers.C. Parents must pay much attention to family education.D. Parents are to put their hearts into their children’s studi es.( ) 55. Which of the following does the writer suppose parents should say to their children?A. “It hurts me more than you.”B. “It’s for your own good.”C. “Go and do it yourself.”D. All of the above.二.词义搭配:从B栏中选出A栏单词的正确解释A B( ) 56. injure A. hurt and damage( ) 57. particular B. free from pain, trouble( ) 58. carpet C. response( ) 59. caution D. special( ) 60. vehicle E. link, join( ) 61. connect F. any kind of conveyance used on land( ) 62. wealthy G. rich( ) 63. reaction H. blanket-looking, over on the floor( ) 64. ease I. watchfulness( ) 65. for instance J. for example三.补全对话。

2024-2025学年湖北省鄂东南高三上学期期中考试英语试题

2024-2025学年湖北省鄂东南高三上学期期中考试英语试题

2024-2025学年湖北省鄂东南高三上学期期中考试英语试题Here are some dictionaries to share with you for English learning. Verbal AdvantageIt is the most comprehensive, accessible, and effective vocabulary-building program available today. What exactly is a “verbal advantage”? In short, a “verbal advantage” is the ability to use words in a precise and powerful manner, to communicate clearly, correctly, and effectively in every situation. In this book, I intend to turn your ability with words into mastery. Dictionary of Common ErrorsIt provides learners and teachers of English with a practical guide to common errors and their correction.

Word Power Made EasyIt is the complete handbook for building a superior vocabulary, which enables you to speak and write with confidence, read more effectively and efficiently, learn quickly, develop social contacts, and increase your earning power. Pay special attention to the Chapter Review! Are the words still fresh in your mind? Do you remember the meaning of each word studied in the previous sessions? In these Reviews, you are not only testing your learning but also tightening up any areas in which you discover gaps, weaknesses, or forgetfulness.1. What does the “Dictionary of Common Errors” offer to its users?A.A collection of idiomatic expressions.B.An alphabetical list of advanced vocabulary.C.A comprehensive history of the English language.D.A handy guide to frequently made errors and their corrections.2.

What can we learn from this passage?A.Going over the learned words is recommended for English learning.B.Memorizing words alphabetically is the best way to build vocabulary.C.English learners at intermediate level seldom make mistakes in writing.D.All the 4 dictionaries intend to promote learners’ grammatical competence.High levels of lead detected in Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair which has been confirmed belonging to him suggest that the composer had lead poisoning, which may have contributed to illness he endured over the course of his life, including deafness, according to new research.In addition to hearing loss, the famed classical composer had repeated stomach issues throughout his life, experienced two attacks of severe liver disease. It is believed that Beethoven died from liver and kidney disease at age 56. But the process of understanding what caused his many health problems has been a much more complicated puzzle, one that even Beethoven himself hoped doctors could eventually solve.An international team of researchers set out nearly a decade ago to partially fulfill Beethoven’s wish by studying locks of his hair. Using DNA analysis, the team determined which ones truly belonged to the composer and which did not, and sequenced Beethoven’s genome(基因组). The findings, published in a March 2023 report, revealed that Beethoven had significant genetic risk factors for liver disease. But the results didn’t provide any insights into the underlying causes of his deafness, which began in his 20s, or his stomach issues.Beethoven’s genome was made publicly available, inviting researchers around the world to investigate remaining questions about Beethoven’s health. In addition to high concentrations of lead, the latest findings showed arsenic(砷)and mercury(汞)that remain trapped in the composer’s strings of hair nearly 200 years after his death, according to a new letter published Monday in the journal Clinical Chemistry. The surprising insights could provide new windows into Beethoven’s persistent health problems.4. What might have caused Beethoven’s long-term health problems?A.Loss of hearing. B.High levels of lead in his body.C.Constant complaints. D.Lack of doctor’s treatment.5. The underlined word “wish” in paragraph 3 may refer to________.A.Examining his hair. B.Curing him of the disease.C.Identifying the cause of his illness. D.Conducting DNA analysis.6. What did the report in 2023 find out?A.The potential cause of his deafness.B.The sequence of his genetic material.C.The hair that truly belonged to Beethoven.D.Beethoven’s carrying a great genetic risk of liver disease.7. Why does the author mention the latest findings in the last paragraph?A.To confirm the earlier result.B.To contradict the previous findings.C.To draw a conclusion about the contributing factors.D.To provide a better understanding of the cause of his illness.One morning in June 1986, I placed an empty snail shell into a tide pool on Long Island. A hermit crab(寄居蟹)came by, inspected the shell, and quickly exchanged it for its old one. Soon another crab found the abandoned shell, did the same, and moved on. About 10 minutes later a third crab found the second’s old home and claimed its prize, leaving behind its damaged one.It may seem strange, but these small creatures are making use of what sociologists call a “vacancy chain(空缺链)”—an organized method of exchanging resources in which every individual benefits by claiming a more desirable possession abandoned by another individual. Recent studies have revealed two types of vacancy chains in hermit crabs: synchronous and asynchronous. In the asynchronous type(like what I observed), usually one crab at a time comes across a vacant shell without other crabs nearby. But in synchronous chains, they line up by size behind the one examining a vacant shell. Once it moves into the new shell, the others quickly follow, each taking the better-suited shelter in line.Though research on vacancy chains in animals beyond hermit crabs is limited, early evidence suggests that the strategy has evolved widespread. Humans follow the same pattern. Studies in 1960s Manhattan showed how new apartments triggered a chain reaction, allowing many families to upgrade their housing. Car dealers in the early 20th century adopted a similar system, trading in old cars to facilitate new sales. Vacancy chains highlight that resource distribution is not just about competition but also about the efficient transfer of resources, shedding light on issues like housing shortages and even crime.Not long ago, I returned to the beach where my observations began. Watching the hermit crabs crawl through the tide pool, I felt grateful and delighted, realizing that some patterns of our social life are so fundamental that we even share them with rather primitive creatures.8. Where was the second crab’s original shell according to paragraph 1?A.It was taken by the first crab. B.It was exchanged with a snail.C.It was occupied by the third crab. D.It was left behind in the tide pool.9. Which of the following is correct about the two kinds of chains?A.Asynchronous chains occur only in animals.B.Asynchronous chains involve fighting over resources.C.Synchronous chains involve crabs queuing up by age.D.Synchronous chains occur when crabs gather in the same place.10. Which of the following can set off a “vacancy chain”?A.Winning a bet. B.Storing canned food.C.Selling old vehicles for new ones. D.Buying disposable plastic bottles.11. What does the passage imply about the significance of studying vacancy chains?A.It may suggest new ways to care for crabs.B.It may reveal how competition is stimulated.C.It may highlight the importance of saving resources.D.It may give insights into human resource distribution.A bestseller by Giulia Enders explores the fascinating world of the human digestive system and its profound impact on overall health. One of the key takeaways is the idea that the gut(肠)is not just a digestion machine, but a complex and intelligent organ that influences our immune system, brain function, and emotional well-being.The book explores the gut-brain connection, explaining how the gut communicates with the brain and can influence mood and behavior, highlighting the link between gut health and mental conditions like anxiety and depression. Enders also explains how the gut’s nervous system functions independently of the brain and why it’s often called the “second brain.”Another key point is the impact of diet on gut health. Enders advises incorporating fiber-rich foods, fermented products(like yogurt), and probiotics(good bacteria)into our diet to nourish beneficial gut bacteria. She also warns against the overuse of antibiotics(抗生素), which can upset the balance of gut bacteria and lead to digestive disorders.The book also provides insight into common digestive problems and breaks down how these issues can be managed or prevented by making simple lifestyle changes, like eating slowly and managing stress. Enders explains the digestive process in a simple and engaging way, highlighting the importance of a healthy gut and offers practical advice on supporting its function, such as avoiding overly processed foods and eating mindfully.Enders also touches on the significance of the immune system in the gut, where a large portion of immune cells reside. A healthy gut microbiome(肠道微生物组)can strengthen the immune response, while an imbalanced gut may lead to increased risk to infections and autoimmune diseases.Enders successfully makes the science of the gut accessible and relatable, showing that by understanding how this often-overlooked organ works, we can make informed choices that significantly improve our health and happiness.12. What does the underlined word “takeaways” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Differences. B.Conclusions. C.Causes. D.Goals.13. What does the author might agree with?A.An unhealthy gut will definitely lead to immune disorders.B.The gut’s nervous system interrelates with the brain in its function.C.Eating slowly or managing stress helps avoid some digestive problems.D.The more fiber we include in our diet, the healthier our gut will become.14. Which one can best serve as the title of the book by Giulia Enders?A.Gut Health Is Above Wealth.B.Eat Your Way to Good Health.C.Immune System: A Deciding Factor in Overall Health.D.Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ.15. What is the text?A.A book review. B.A research paper.C.An advertisement for a book. D.A chapter of a book.When you get up in the morning, what is the first thing that you tend to do? By chance, is it to check notifications on a cell phone? 16 That usually means using the newest technology in nearly every aspect of life.17 One sensible approach is to set goals, use time limits, and avoid letting any single medium or electronic platform take up the lion’s share of your time.One major impact of advanced technology has been the change in the way people read. After centuries of reading the printed page, people now do much of their reading on various kinds of screens for the reason that the shift is convenient and cost-effective. 18 One concern is that light from computer and phone screens can eventually cause teary eyes. In addition, recent research has found advantages to reading on paper. Professor Virginia Clinton of the University of North Dakota examined results from 33 studies on reading. This research indicates that students demonstrated better comprehension when reading on paper rather than on screens. 19 It simply suggests that reading on paper has not yet lost its value.How often do people find themselves watching videos or using websites only to find that hours have passed with their original goal unfulfilled? That is because designers use artificial intelligence to create video feeds and music streaming programs that absorb your attention for as long as possible. Therefore, it is more important than ever to be able to take a step back. 20 In doing so, it can give them back their time and sense of agency.In many ways Mack and Cameron were typical high school friends.
