Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

My mother was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch even when life separated them.Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several months living with her family inseedymotels.I sensed my mother hid her troubles from most people, but not from Martha, and I knew from my mother that Martha carried her own sorrows. Their willingness to share sorrow without judgment was part of what bond them.The best friendships can also withstand (抵挡) periods without communication. They didn’t communicate a lot — this was before the ease of emails and texts and yet I knew they were always in each other’s minds.One day in 2008, 1 drove my mother to Martha’s house for their final visit. The moment my mother hobbled (蹒跚) into Martha’s house, they threw their arms around each other and went to sit out in the garden, laughing until they were dizzy. I snapped a photo, and spotted something joyous, young and free on my mom, which existed only in the presence of her best friend.Two years later, my mother died. Of all the people I had to tell, Martha was the hardest because I felt it erased her past. After that, we lost touch. But I still think of her and how that friendship strengthened my mother.1. What does the underlined word “seedy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. largeB. dirtyC. urbanD. bright2. The author’s mother and Martha had a lasting friendship partly because they________.A. were willing to shareB. were constantly in touchC. had much in commonD. had a likeness in personality3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell the importance of friendship.B. To express his gratitude to his mother.C. To share his standard of choosing a friend.D.

Her mum Leigh-Anne said the drama began during a visit to her grandma’s house when her grandparents gave her older kids some sweets.“Then at about 4:45 pm, Tallulah started to choke—we all went into a panic.”“It seemed like it went on for ages. Not one of us knew what to do.”“I rang an ambulance while my grandma and granddad tried to get the sweet to come up.”“Tallulah was panicking at first but then she started to go purple—she almost had no oxygen left in her.”With her daughter limp (无力的) and time running out, Leigh—Anne knew she couldn’t afford to wait for the ambulance to arrive.“The only thing I could think was to go out into the street.” She said.“I rushed out and screamed for someone to help while my grandma rushed out crying with Tallulah.”At exactly the moment, Caitlin, who is studying public services atRedcarCollege, was passing byQueen Street. She said, “I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help, so I ran straight over.”The 17-year-old girl added, “Something just clicked and I went into auto mode. The little girl was completely limp, so I checked her airways and tilted (使倾斜) her over and started hitting her back. I turned her round and tapped on her chest, then after what felt like forever she coughed up the sweet and spat it out.As soon as she started crying I felt a huge relief. I was just so pleased I was able to help.”Caitlin was taught her lifesaving skills when she joined the Army Cadets four years ago.4. When did Tallulah get choked?A. While eating sweets.B.

My mom had spent a lot on my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, took part in various clubs, and graduated with honors. I was so excited to start a new part of my life.Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn't like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was missing my family, my home and everything in my hometown so much and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart.To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies. I also found a ton of jobs. In any free time, I started forcing myself to go to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think about how lonely I felt. Soon after, I began to control my eating, considering it another solution to my homesickness. But soon there was something wrong with me.Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor told me I had no choice but to take time away from school, I started to fear. How could I stop? School was what I was best at. “I’m not so bad,” I thought in my head. But the result was that I was taken to hospital again a month later and my mother camewoefully. I had to take a semester off from school, and go to the treatment center near my home.If there are girls who are suffering similarly, I hope you know that there is hope and that you should have a positive attitude towards life. Though you may feel alone, there are so many people who can understand your struggle. That’s why I want to share my story.8. Why did the author push herself during high school?A. She wanted to attend the University of San Francisco.B. It cost too much to study in a private school.C. Her parents controlled much of her life.D. Her family put her under pressure,9. What can we know about the author in the first two weeks?A. She couldn't fall asleep because of pressure.B. She couldn't pay attention to her study.C. She couldn't deal with her homesickness.D. She couldn't catch up with others.10. What does the underlined word “woefully” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Sadly.B. Surprisingly.C. Curiously.D. Happily.11. What is the author's purpose in writing this text?A. To look back on her past life.B. To increase her own confidence.C. To express appreciation to her mother.D. To encourage other girls like her to be positive.DOne Sunday morning, my family and I went to a popular restaurant for breakfast. As soon as we walked into Restaurant Happy Meal, a young waitress showed us to a table.We ordered our food and soon after, our food came. Just as we were about to begin our meal, we heard someone shouting for the boss.“What is this? A dead fly in my food!’’ a man with a deep scar (疤) acrosshis face shouted angrily.

He even told them that they could have their meal for free.The commotion(混乱) affected the business of the restaurant. Fearing that aquarrel would happen, many customers quickly paid for their meals and left the restaurant hurriedly. Some of them had not even finished their breakfast.My father told us to eat our food quickly and not to look at the two angry men. We obeyed him and finished our food within minutes.

They discovered that if Rose had taken off her life jacket to the bottom of the door，there would have been enough buoyancy to keep both of them afloat.When they presented their findings to Cameron，the director insisted that Jack couldn't be saved.“The answer is very simple，”Cameron said. “Because it says on Page 147 of the script that Jack dies. ” To Cameron，it was an artistic choice to have the beloved character of millions，Jack，sink into the cold sea. Jack had to die because Cameron thought it would be best.“It was an artistic choice. The thing was just big enough to hold her，and not big enough to hold both，”Cameron said. “I think it's all kind of silly，really，that we're having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so beloved by the audience that it hurts them to see him die. The film is about death and separation；he had to die. ”Since Jack had to die，Cameron said，it could have happened in a variety of different ways. It's not about the door not being big enough：that's just a practical method for his death. “Whether it was that，or whether a chimney fell on him，he was going down，” Cameron said. “It's called art：things happen for artistic reasons，not for physics reasons. ”4、What do we know about the character Jack according to the text？A. He wanted to kill himself.B. He gave up his own life to save Rose.C. He didn't have money to buy the ticket.D. He lacked basic knowledge of physics.5、What does the underlined word “buoyancy" in Paragraph 3 mean？A. The ability to float.B. The tendency to sink.C. The amount of space.D. The quality of the material.6、According to Cameron，why did the audience argue about Jack's death for 20 years？A. They are weak people.B. They don't like the movie.C. They love the character Jack.D. They are crazy about physics.7、Why was a chimney mentioned in the last paragraph？A. To introduce how the ship was built.B. To show the original plan of the movie.C. To present the missing part of the movie.D. To explain the unchangeable death of Jack.Since he was nine, Babar Ali has been running his own school in a small village, passing on to the children of poor families the knowledge he has acquired (学到) at his school during the day.It began when children in his village asked him questions about what he learned at the 1000-rupee-a-year school their parents could not afford. "It started when without much effort", he says. "There were lots of children who had dropped out of school (辍学), or never been to school at all. They were always asking questions about my lessons and I would repeat everything for them."There used to be just eight pupils, and my friends helped me with the teaching. We worked on the standard of teaching. The word spread to nearby villages, and gradually we took on more and more students.Five years later, the school has a total of 10 teachers, all of whom are students at school, and 650 pupils.On a typical (典型的) day, Babar will rise at 5 am, do housework, then take a bus to school in a village three miles away. From 10 am to 4 Pm, he focuses on (集中注意力于) his ownstudies, then he races back to his village to welcome his students at 5 pm, teaches until 8 pm. The teaching doesn't make him tired, he says, but gives him more strength to keep up his busy life.His parents are filled with pride. His father, Nasiruddin, was shocked when he first discovered his son was teaching. "I couldn't believe it. He's always rushing from place to place and I was worried it might affect his studies. So I visited his school. Seeing his dedication (奉献) to teaching cleared my doubts," he says.In 2023, Babar was named the "youngest headmaster in the world" by BBC. From then on, his story appeared in many textbooks, and now he is regularly invited to speak at many meetings all over the world.8、Babar started teaching the children nearby _____.A. because he wanted to make money to pay for his studiesB. when they went to his school to ask him questionsC. because their parents asked him to do soD. when he was quite a young boy9、As time went by, Babar _____.A. is planning to set up more schoolsB. had to ask some teachers to help himC. gradually made his school bigger and biggerD. had to drop out of school to teach other children10、Why does the author describe Babar's typical dayA. To show he works very long hours.B. To explain why he feels tired at the end of a day.C. To show he works much harder than other teachers.D.

He had doubts about Babar's ability.D. He was unhappy about Babar's decision.You must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out what’s going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react(反应), and then your muscles(肌肉) go into action. That is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ(器官).There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells(细胞) in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all! Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain never stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment(建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives.So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.12、In Paragraph 1, the writer wants to tell us___________.A. eyes and muscles react quickly.B. the brain controls everything in your body.C. the computer is the best thing in the world.D. the brain is more powerful than any computer.13、In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “That” refers to(指的是)__________ .A. the body weightB. 2% of the body weightC. all energy in the bodyD. around 20% of the energy in the body14、Which word can best describe the brain according to the passageA. DevelopingB. QuickC. LightD. Magic15、In which magazine can the passage be found most probablyA. Business WeeklyB. MedicineC. ScienceD. Sports二、七选五16、BE A GOOD TOURISTTourism can be both good and bad. ①_____ but it may also bring some problems.One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination. Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourists sites are being destroyed by tourists who "love them to death". ②_____. If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.③_____. For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. ④_____.The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without observing local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one!⑤_____. Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders,you are representing your country to the rest of the world.A. Just think from other aspects.B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.C. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.D. Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.E. I have three words for people like this: please stop it.F. Another big problem in some places is tourists disturbing the local people and life.G. It brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals.三、完形填空（15空）My father was an ill-humored man. I knew he loved me and his love was 1 .

湖南省长沙市第一中学2022-2023学年高一上学期第三次月考英语试卷(含答案)

湖南省长沙市第一中学2022-2023学年高一上学期第三次月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Urban gardens are valuable assets to communities. They provide green spaces to grow sustainable food, build community cohesion (凝聚力), make new friends, connect with the earth, and much more. So, let's check out our list of 4 inspiring urban gardens in the US. Gotham GreensWhere: New York &ChicagoWhat: Gotham Greens first started in Brooklyn and now has four locations in New York City and Chicago. Their flagship farm in Brooklyn produces over 100,000 pounds of greens per year. But it doesn't just produce healthy local vegetables. It is using high-tech greenhouses with solar panels to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable. Baltimore Urban Gardening with StudentsWhere: Baltimore, MarylandWhat: The Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) program encourages students to get their hands dirty and plant vegetables through their after-school and summer programs. Many of these kids don't have access to green spaces, and have never had the opportunity to grow food.ReVision Urban FarmWhere: Boston, MassachusettsWhat: ReVision Urban Farm in Boston works in partnership with the ReVision Family Home-a shelter for 22 homeless parents and their kids. The farm provides these families with information on healthy eating, and access to the farm’s fresh vegetables. The organization also provides job training to help families escape the cycle of poverty.SwaleWhere: New YorkWhat: Swale, a floating food forest located on a large boat, is an innovative project meant to inspire citizens to rethink the relationship between our cities and our food. This urban garden serves as both a living art exhibit and an educational farm. Food forests are sustainable gardens that include vegetables, fruit, nut trees, bushes, herbs, and vines -each one complementing the other in a symbiotic (共生的) relationship.1、What does the BUGS program mainly do?A.Provide job training for students.e high-tech greenhouses to grow healthy food.C.Create a sustainable garden on a large boat.D.Offer students the opportunity to grow vegetables.2、Which urban garden helps people get out of poverty?A.Gotham Greens.B.Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students.C.ReVision Urban Farm.D.Swale.3、Where can citizens go to see a food forest?A.Chicago.B.Baltimore.C.Boston.D.New York.Do you like to keep fit? We're always told that regular exercise is good for our body and mind. More and more people are taking up activities that improve their fitness. But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷的) and overdo it?Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection. And fitness trackers (追踪器) and apps can add to this addiction (癒), especially if someone is driven by achievement and perfectionism. And sharing data on social media means exercising becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in someone who is vulnerable(脆弱的).Experts say this can lead to a medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy eating and over-exercise. Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and mental health complications.Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low immune system. So how much exercise is too much? Researchers found the ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的) jogging.If you're more of a couch potato than a quick runner, this might sound like good news. But for amateur (业余的) athletes who can't help but push their bodies to the limit the advice from Martin Turner. a sports and exercise psychologist(心理学家), is, “ It's all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to controleverything, saying, “You don't need to be perfect.”4、What contributes most to people's addiction to over-exercise according to paragraph 2?A. Their urge for social support.B. Their pursuit of perfectionism.C. Their addiction to fitness apps.D. Their concern over health issues.5、What does the underlined phrase “take its toll on” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Have a bad effect on.B. Go hand in hand with.C. Make little difference to.D. Play an important role in.6、What is the text mainly about?A. The risk of fitness obsession.B. The importance of mental healthC. The benefits of moderate jogging.D. The symptoms of over-exercising.7、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Science.B. Opinion.C. Culture.D. LifestyleA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a churchgoer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It's extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something thatupsets some of their patrons(资助人）. So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition's six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is thatpeople seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young's head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be "a photo-taking playland". Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $ 28 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says, “we would risk becoming irrelevant.”8、What was the woman eager to do according to paragraph 1?A. To get her phone.B. To escape the crowdC. To take a photo.D. To push ahead.9、How did the de Young respond to the complaints from visitors?A. By setting periods without photo-taking.B. By making the exhibition free of charge.C. By compromising with the government.D. By extending the free exhibition hours.10、The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may _________.A. uncover the truthB. cause irrelevancyC. bring more pleasureD. play a negative role11、Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A. Reducing admission prices.B. Meeting different needs of the visitors.C. Reserving judgement in public.D. Banning social media and photography.Cuckoos(布谷鸟) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don't spend the energy building a nest(鸟巢), protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead, the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don't raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.To succeed in doing this, & female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove oneof the host's eggs to make room for her own.Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch(孵化) and begin to grow in a host's nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents(养父母)，The cuckoo imposter(冒名顶替者）is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the nonbiological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts'. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds' attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.12、What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young?A. Attend to eggs.B. Build a new nest.C. Learn feeding skills.D. Rely on other birds.13、What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Other cuckoos.B. Baby cuckoos.C. Cuckoo's host parents.D. Cuckoo's birth parents.14、What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter?A. It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.B. It throws all the other eggs out of nests with its mother's help.C. It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.D. It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.15、Which can be the best title for the text?A. How cuckoos protect their childrenB. How cuckoos fool other birdsC. How cuckoos destroy others' nestsD. How cuckoos produce eggs二、七选五16、How to Have an Attractive PersonalityBeing attractive comes more from your personality than your appearance, and taking on an attractive personality is key to having lasting relationships. ①_______The following tips help improve your ability to attract others.• Laugh at yourself. If you make a fool of yourself, laugh at yourself instead of feeling embarrassed. It shows that you're comfortable in your skin. A sense of humor makes someone more engaging and delightful to be with. ②_______It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever, but don't ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.• Speak sincerely. Tell people the truth. If you can't commit to something, it's better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can't make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. ③_______For instance, if you don't like your friend's shirt, respond with, “I really like you in blue instead,” rather than, “I hate it, it's ugly.”•④_______If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, you'll be a happier person, making others drawn to you as a result. A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email. Set them for a time of day when you notice yourself start to feel mentally exhausted.• Have co nfidence in your body.You don't have to have the "perfect body" to be confident in it. People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well.

Remember, there is a time and place for humor.D. There is difference between being frank and rude, though.E. Focus on these rather than what you're self-conscious about.F. Actually, developing engaging personalities is not that far out of reach.G.

湖南省长沙市湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试语文试题(原卷版+解析版)

湖南师大附中2023－2024学年度高一上学期期末考试语文时量：150分钟满分：150分一、现代文阅读（37分）（一）现代文阅读I（本题共5小题，19分）阅读下面的文字，完成各题。

①爱美之心，人皆有之。

欣赏文艺复兴时期的画作，呈现在我们眼前的是不加任何修饰的脸、眼睛和神韵。

这表明，在那时的人们看来，真实自然是最美的。

在中国，汉成帝宠爱苗条纤细的赵飞燕，唐玄宗宠爱珠圆玉润的杨玉环，使得“燕瘦环肥”曾经在特定时代掀起一股不小的审美风潮。

尽管人们追求身体美的愿望不曾改变，但由于地域、文化、种族等的不同，历时的与共时的“身体美学”均呈现出千姿百态。

进入21世纪，随着世界各国的文化交融日益频繁，地域隔阂被打破，东西方越来越多地共享着时尚身体的审美观念。

②在《人体美丽史》一书中，法国学者乔治·维加莱洛指出：人们对身体美的探求从面部轮廓延伸至整个身体的全面特征,并用这些特征展现自己的个性；然而，借助发型、化妆和体型锻炼等传统方式来修饰身体，总是存在一定限度；凭借科技支持，医疗美容手术能直接地干预身体，从而使得人们可以无限地去接近他们理想的美貌。

于是乎，运用手术、药物、医疗器械以及其他具有创伤性或者侵入性的医学技术方法对人的容貌和人体各部位形态进行修复与再塑，成为一种追求身体美的新时尚。

在此背景下，医疗美容行业乘势发展，服务范围不断延伸，已形成涵盖美容外科、美容皮肤科、美容牙科和美容中医科在内的上百种服务项目。

在医美市场的扩张中，医美广告——既推销商品和服务，还不断地“生产”消费者——扮演了十分重要的角色。

③2019年8月，互联网医美服务平台“新氧”在视频网站上投放了一则广告，视频中一群身穿白色裙子的女性一起尖声高唱：“新氧医美，整整整。

女人美了，才完整。

”随后画面上浮现出五个大字——“做女人整好”。

正如费瑟斯通所说，广告就是能把罗曼蒂克、奇珍异宝、欲望、美、成功、共同体、科学进步与舒适生活等各种意象附着在肥皂、洗衣机、酒精饮品等各种平庸的消费品之上。

No one seemed to understand me. They all advised me to aim high, except for my English teacher. She told me that she trusted my judgement and that she knew all would work out for me in the end.Well, life was good to me as I achieved my goals. I attended college while waiting for my love to come back home from serving in the navy. We got married and two years later, we started our family. Being a mother was so wonderful. It was all I'd ever dreamed of.When the day came for all our little darlings to go to school, I began to think about what to do next time. My next goal, I decided, should be to become a teacher. I was so excited! How many people could get the chance to be exactly what they want and then do it again and fulfill a new dream?However, things changed. My husband had an accident. He was left unable to work, and we were left with lots of problems. Fortunately, not long after that I was awarded a non-traditionea student scholarship (奖学金).I wanted to send a thank-you note to the company that funded the scholarship. Io my surprise. the big scholarship had been funded by the very same teacher who 20 years earlier had encouraged me to do what I knew was right in my heart! Even after all those years, there she was helping me to realize my second dream.24. From Paragraph 2, we learn that the author______.A. regretted getting marriedB. failed to go to collegeC. served in the navyD. became a wife and mother25. After her husband's accident, the author______.A. became an English teacher in a schoolC set up a company to fund students in needB. got a scholarship from her former English teacherD. was out of work and had to stay at home.26. Which word can describe my English teacher？A. Patient.B. Optimistic.C. Caring.D. Humorous.27. The author writes the text mainly to______.A. persuade us to be determined in life.B. express her thanks for her husband's love.C. remind us to pay more attention to our family.D. show her appreciation for the support of a teacher.CThe population of the United States grows larger every year. The state has been growing the fastest is Nevada.The city that has been receiving the most new residents is Las Vegas, which lies in the desert in Southern Nevada.Why are so many people moving to Las Vegas? First, it is easy to find a job. Tourism is the number one industry in Las Vegas, so there are many service jobs. Workers are building thousands of new homes, buildings, and schools. The children need teachers. People need to shop for food, clothing, and cars, so the stores are looking for clerks(职员). About one third of the new residents are from California, where it is more difficult to find a job. Second, Nevada has no income tax. Most states have an income tax of 2%, 4%, 5% or more. Third, many people like the weather. Even though it's very hot in the summer, the other seasons are beautiful. There are over 250 days of sunshine each year. Finally, housing is still affordable, with the price of a new home at about $139, 500. People moving from California find that this is reasonable in comparison to homes in their state.Las Vegas is also the wedding capital of the United States. It is easier to get married in Las Vegas than in any other city in the United States. You don't need a blood test. You don't need to wait for a week for a marriage license. It's possible to get married the same day you apply for a marriage license.Las vegas also has problems. Because it sits in the desert, there is not enough water. Eventhough water is expensive, residents have not been careful in conserving water. Next, Las Vegas has serious air pollution problems. Las Vegas is surrounded by high mountains, some as high as 10,000 feet. These mountains hold in the pollution from the cars. At times, there are warnings not to exercise outdoors. Finally, as the city becomes larger, people are traveling father to work and the average commute (通勤) time has been increasing.28. Which is one reason why Las Vegas receives the most new residents?A. It is easy to own a house there.B. Its industry is highly developed.C. It has low income tax.D. Its summer is cool.29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. A blood test is unnecessary in the U. S to get married.B. It is easy to find someone you love in Las Vegas.C. It is quick to get a marriage license in Las Vegas.D. The wedding party usually lasts one week in the U.S.30.The underlined word"conserving "in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “______”.A. heatingB. savingC. wastingD. discovering31. Why are people sometimes warned not to work out outdoors in Las Vegas?A. Because of the dirty air.B. Because of the busy traffic.C. Because there are too many mountains.D. Because people have to travel far to work.DWhat do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? Most likely you blow it away. But what if that bug were a ladybug(瓢虫)? Then chances are you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good luck sign. A ladybug in the field meant that the crops would be successful and the weather would be good. The farmers may have been exaggerating(夸大) about what a very small bug can do, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats the other insects. It's the ladybug larvae(幼虫). Ladybugs lay their eggs on leaves that are covered with aphids or other insects. When the larvae come out of the eggs, they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealybugs, green flies, and other crop-destroyers.A single ladybug larva can eat over 1,000 aphids in one day. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. The little red and black "eating machines" completely saved all the trees.Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off something that is dangerous to eat. Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and remain very still until their enemy goes away.So next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be up to. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to fall off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it's letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.32. What do we know about mites and aphids？A. They do harm to the crops.B. They eat more than they should.C. They are food for adult ladybugs.D.
