Get chewing: can a wellness rebrand make Americans buy gum again?When was the last time you saw someone chewing gum? 1998, maybe? 2007? Chances are, it probably wasn’t recently. Like high heels and affordable housing, chewing gum appears to be going 42Gum’s popularity has been fading globally thanks to increased competition from products like breath mints and mobile phones distracting us from impulse purchases while shopping. The pandemic, moreover, 43 ·accelerated gum’s decline.Even after people 44 from lockdown, sales didn’t recover. Gum sales worldwide in 2023 were 10% below 2018 figures. In the US, the drop has been particularly pronounced: last year 1.2 billion units of gum were sold in the US, 32% fewer than in 2018.However, chewing gum, in various forms, is one of the oldest habits there is. Stone age teenagers were chewing birch bar k tar possibly for pleasure, medicinal purposes, or to use it as a glue. Gum has also been loaded with culturalmeaning and the subject of various 45 panics. Some people believe it is a marker of the bad kids or a habit of the lower class.Despite a certain amount of social stigma（污名）attached to gum, it has - until relatively recently -been a wildly successful product. That’s thanks to William Wrigley Jr, who was a marketing and advertising genius. Wrigley always 46 to find a way to make gum relevant and insert it into consumer culture. For example, Wrigley advertised the idea that chewing gum was a health aid that would help digestion and would relieve stress.This year the Wrigley brand’s owner —Mars—came out with an ad campaign it hopes will revive gum’s 47 by positioning it as an almost instant stress reliever. Linking gum with wellness worked in the 1910s, but is it going to work now? Alex Hayes at the food consultancy is 48 optimistic. “The global well ness market is estimated to be worth more than $1.5 trillion, so it’s no surprise that Mars wants a piece of the pie,” Hayes says. “We’ve seen the success of categories such as tea promoting their products via functional 49 and messaging-teas for good sleep, mental clarity, stress relief, etc. So it comes as no surprise that Mars is risking the same 50 .” But he also notes, customers are increasingly worried about processed foods and are eager to move away from artificial 51 . There’s still ongoing discussion on just how effective repositioning chewable plastic as a health supplement is going to be. Ⅲ．Reading ComprehensionSection A ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s safe to say Jeremy Scott is having a lucky year. In March while working as a chauffeur, he told his boss about his plans to set up a driving business. By the end of the journey, Scott’s boss had offered to 52 his idea-a starting capital along with the gift of a £110,000 limousine（豪车）to kick start the business.Of course, there’s an element of luck to everyone’s career. Whether you’re a chief executive or an artist — your 53 won’t be based on hard work alone. For example, the place you were born 54 your education. It determines whether you learn to read, write or complete qualifications, which 55 limits your career choices.Many people believe success is down to talent and hard work, but “this is because most people underestimate the role of 56 ”, says psychologist Dr Elizabeth Nutt Williams. “We do a lot of work to prepare for ourcareers-education, training, taking advantage of mentoring-all of which tend to be in our control.” People don’t like to acknowledge the role of luck in their work, as it 57 this feeling of being in control, adds Williams.Everyone remembers working hard, so people are more likely to overestimate how much of their success is down to diligence than something much more 58 like luck.The reality of success （at least in terms of 59 ）is less clear cut. In the UK, studies show where you are born is likely to determine how much you earn.2017 research found that there is a “class pay gap’’, where professional employers from 60 backgrounds are paid almost £7,000 less a year — despite having the same role, education and experience as colleagues from more privileged families. 61 , black graduates earn up to 23% less per hour than white university leavers, whereas woman in the UK earn 14% less on average than men.Socio-economic status also plays a big role in the 62 you enter. A recent study by the Debrett’s Foundation found seven in every 10 young people aged 16-25 use 63 to get their first job. While research has shown that less able, richer children are 35% more likely to become high earners than their brighter. poorer peers.The truth is: chance and coincidences 64 our careers more than we like to think. Realizing that parts of your career are out of your control sounds 65 , but being grateful for the role of luck in your career can actually make you more fortunate.This is because when you acknowledge the role of luck in your work, you become prepared to take advantage of more fortunate moments. “Chance events occur·but it is all about the individual’s 66 to see those events as possibilities and their willingness to take a risk,” says Williams.52．A．challenge B．adopt C．finance D．reject53．A．performances B．accomplishments C．assessments D．outcomes54．A．accounts for B．applies to C．makes up for D．depends on55．A．in reward B．after all C．in turn D．by nature56．A．chance B．accident C．education D．diligence57．A．emphasizes B．overlooks C．maintains D．weakens58．A．manageable B．vital C．slippery D．minor59．A．reputation B．income C．education D．occupation60．A．wealthier B．poorer C．unique D．diverse61．A．Nevertheless B．Contrarily C．Consequently D．Similarly62．A．profession B．circle C．community D．university63．A．certificates B．online platforms C．career fairs D．family connections64．A．contribute to B．result from C．add to D．hold back65．A．inspiring B．encouraging C．appealing D．discouraging66．A．reluctance B．eagerness C．readiness D．resolutionSection B Passages（A）When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the burnt garlic’s smell, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves（蒜瓣）in an electric oven, and after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and pac ks them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The bitterness of burned garl ic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic isthoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, lwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen（$2.8）. 67．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “blunder” in the second paragraph?A mistake B．show C．mixture D．brand68．Who is NOT suitable to drink garlic coffee?A．A student having trouble with sleep B．A woman bearing a baby.C．A cleaner working on a day shift. D．A young lady sick of garlic.69．Which of the following is NOT characteristic of garlic coffee?A．It is caffeine-free. B．Garlic powder dissolves in waterC．The burnt garlic create s bitterness. D．It is an improvement on a garlic dish.70．Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?A．Venturous and greedy B．Innovative and perseverantC．Hardworking and cautious D．Observant and helpful（B）71．By “how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means “how they ______.”A．make sense to manufacturers B．get stuck in storesC are compared with each other D．are piled up together72．Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A．Dreampad pillow B．Eight sleep trackerC．Smart Nora Wireless Snoring Solution D．Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System73．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B．The Nightinga, is an economical but perfect device.C．Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D．One in three people suffer from sleep problem.（C）One way to divide up the world is between people who like to explore new possibilities and those who stick to the tried and true. In fact, the tension between betting on a sure thing and taking a chance that something unexpected and wonderful might happen troubles human and nonhuman animals alike.Take songbirds, for example. The half-dozen finches（雀）resting at my desk feeder all summer know exactly what they’ll find there: black sunflower seed, and lots of it. Meanwhile, the warblers（莺）exploring the woods nearby don’t depend on this predictable food source in fine weather. As food hunters, they enjoy less exposure to predators and, as a bonus, the chance to meet the perfect mate flying from tree to tree.This “explore-exploit” trade-off（权衡）has prompted scores of lab studies, computer simulations and algorithms （算法）, trying to determine which strategy brings in the greatest reward. Now a new study of human behavior in the real world, published last month in the journal Nature Communications, shows that in good times, there isn’t much of a difference between pursuing novelty and sticking to the status quo（原状）. When the going gets tough. however, explorers are the winners.The new study, led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico, both of the Univ ersity of California, Davis, along with Orr Spiegel of Tel Aviv University, examined the routes and results of nearly 2,500 commercial fishing trips in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 2.5 years. The study focused on “bottom longline” fishing, a system where hundreds of lines are attached to a horizontal bar that is then lowered to reach the sea bed. Dr. O’Farrell explained the procedure this way: Go to a location and put the line down. Stay for a few hours. The lines are a mile long and have a buoy （浮标）at either end. When they pull that up, they assess the catch, and then decide if they will stay or move on to a different spot.Over two years of collecting data under various climate conditions, the researchers discovered that the fishermen were fairly c onsistent. “The exploiters would go to a smaller set of locations over and over, and go with what theyknow,” Dr. O’Farrell said. The explorers would constantly try a wider range; they’d sample new places.In the long run, there wasn’t a huge difference in payoffs between the two groups, perhaps due to the sharing information between fishing crews, said Dr. O’Farrell. But in challenging times, the study’s message was clear: “You can try new things in the face of uncertainty.”74．The author takes the songbird as an example to indicate that ______.A．like birds, humans tend to be satisfied with the predictableB．some birds are used to looking for food instead of being fedC．there exist the conservative and the adventurous like humansD．birds choose different ways to look for food in different weather75．According to the third paragraph, people who mastered “explore-exploit” trade-off ______.A．will choose either to pursue novelty or keep the status quoB．are ready to risk in time of difficultyC．will be tough in good times and bad timesD．will grow to be experts in lab studies76．Which can be inferred from the new study led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico?A．The two groups react to the unexpected differently.B．The “explore-exploit” trade-off helps scientific research a lot.C．The exploiters are used to fishing based solely on their experience.D．The explorers tend to achieve more than the exploiters in the long run.77．Which of the following can be the best title for passage?A．How the Exploiter differs from the Explorer B．How to Become a Productive FishermanC．What is “Explore-Exploit” Trade-off D．When to take risks mattersSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Maya loved cacao so much that they used the beans as currency. They also believed it is good for you—which many people still say today about cacao’s most famous byproduct, chocolate. 78 . While some have suggested that less than an ounce of dark chocolate might improve heart health, much of the research doesn’t involve eating actual chocolate but rather its components — flavanol, especially.79 . In a clinical trial of 21,000 adults, they found that the half of the group that took500mg of. cocoaflavanol supplements daily had a significantly lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who had taken a placebo（安慰剂）.Flavanols may also boost insulin sensitivity, according to some studies, which might be helpful in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）. 80 . Those at risk of diabetes might be wise to choose a cacao-inspired supplement instead of eating chocolate—and the sugar it contains. Other research suggests that the flavanols found in cacao （also present in fruits, vegetables, and tea）could slow cognitive decline during aging, or even boost brain performance by improving blood flow to the cerebral cortex.What these findings mean for chocolate is limited, however. Participants would have had to eat multiple fat and sugar filled chocolate bars a day to source 500mg of flavanols. 81 . So understanding why certain types of chocolate are healthier than the rest is the focus of further research.Ⅳ．Fill in the BlanksHow sneaker culture took over the worldSneakers have come a long way from when they were first invented in 1860s England for the upper-class playing croquet（槌球）and tennis.Long worn for function 82 82 fashion, today sneakers have become an entire culture—both a form of self-expression and a high art found in museum exhibits and designer auction houses.83 transformed sneaker culture into a true phenomenon was the 1985 release of Nike’s Air Jordan 1s. In 1984, Michael Jordan was a talented rookie who had yet to play in a professional game. 84 that, Nike saw Jordan as the future of their brand, signing him to a five-year, $2.5 million endorsement（代言）deal. 85 Jordan matured into one of the greatest basketball players of all time, the sneaker’s popularity skyrocketed.Meanwhile, another cultural shift 86 （take）place with casual Fridays introduced in white-collar businesses. It was when men were allowed to put aside their suits and wear something one day a week that showed people who they really were.As sneakers became increasingly desired, footwear companies turned to 87 （generate）even more publicity by collaborating with celebrities and luxury brands, as well as releasing small batches of limited-edition shoes with eye-pop ping designs.Celebrities also started their collaborations with sneaker brands, which helped target a whole new demographic of people to experience sneaker culture. It was a blending of high and low fashion, 88 the shoe industry has never really seen before. A pair that Jordan wore in his legendary final NBA season 89 （sell ）even for $2.2 mllion, making them the most expensive sneakers ever to appear at auction.By the mid-2010s, speakers 90 （become）solid gold status symbols. Wearing rare and cool sneakers became an expression of one’s social status. But not until recently, sneakers are finally getting their due as part of our cultural heritage—and particularly how Black culture has shaped that heritage. It took decades for the sneaker industry to recognize that 91 these Black athletes or artists that championed their products there would be no sneaker culture.Ⅴ．Translations92．结果看来这项传统的确值得传承给我们的后代。

福建省福州第四中学2023-2024学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题(含听力)(原卷版)
福州四中2023-2024学年第二学期第一学段模块检测试卷高一英语第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AFour Unexpected Ways Different Countries Celebrate BirthdaysChinaThe Chinese typically only celebrate certain birthdays: the first, 10th, 20th, 30th, etc. The 60th birthday is important to the Chinese because it is seen as completing a full zodiac. Eating Chang Shou Mian on your birthday symbolizes long life you’ll hopefully have. Your loved ones can also wish for a long life.MexicoA Mexican party is called a fiesta and includes traditional food items, such as tacos, as well as a candy-filled piñata that is hit with a stick until it bursts open and candy spills everywhere for the party guests to enjoy. A very important tradition in Mexican culture is the Quinceanera, which is traditionally celebrated on a young woman’s fifteenth birthday. The celebration is meant to mark the young girl’s movement into womanhood. The Mexican birthday song is called Las Mañanitas.IrelandOne unusual Irish tradition is “bumping” the birthday child. An adult turns the child upside down and very gently bumps his head on the floor. The number of bumps equals the age of the child. For those who come of age, usually 21 in Ireland, the key to the house is given. This means that the person is an adult and can come and go as he pleases.South KoreaMi-yeok-guk, a hearty seaweed soup, is usually served as part of breakfast for the beloved birthday boys and girls in Korea. Mothers will also typically eat this soup after childbirth to make up for nutrients during pregnancy, so you’d better pay respect to your mother whenever she cooks this on your birthday because it’s delicious, healthy, and nutritious.Although different cultures have many birthday traditions around the world, individual families celebrate their birthdays with specific traditions and special memories unique to that family.21. Why do people eat Chang Shou Mian’ in China?A. To symbolize one’s long life.B. To get a key to a house.C. To pay respect to one’s mother.D. To mark one’s movement into adulthood.22. Which country holds a birthday event to celebrate the coming of womanhood?A. China.B. MexicoC. IrelandD. South Korea.ms23. What do China and South Korea have in common when celebrating birthdays?A.

People hold a “bumping” event for children to celebrate their birthdays.BThe music world lost a rock and roll superstar this week when guitarist Eddie Van Halen passed away. He was only 65 years old.Eddie Van Halen was a founding member of the band Van Halen. He formed the group in 1974 with his brother Alex, who played the drums. Van Halen released (发行) its most popular single, the song Jump, in 1983. Jump rose to the top of Billboard Magazıne’s list of Hot 100 songs and stayed there for five weeks. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio lists Jump among its “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll”. Eddie Van Halen released at least 15 record albums with his band over the years, selling more than 80 million around the world. In 2007, Van Halen entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.The Van Halen brothers were born in the Netherlands. Their father was a professional musician. Their mother was from Indonesia. In the 1950s, some Netherlanders did not support the mixed-race (混种族) marriage, so the family moved to the United States. They settled in southern California. Eddie and Alex Van Halen had to learn English in their new land. Both brothers studied piano for years before getting interested in rock and roll.As a child, Eddie was considered musically gifted. Eddie told a reporter he did not learn to read music. He said he would watch his teacher play and memorize his moves. He also said that he never took a class on playing the guitar, although he studied under Eric Clapton for a time. His father was among the first to recognize Eddie’s guitar skill. “You’ve got it, kid,” Eddie’s father said to him early on.Eddie’s guitar playing was hard and fast. He was energetic while performing, often jumping like an acrobat (杂技演员) as he played. He was known for the way he tapped on the guitar strings with both hands. It influenced many musicians that followed.24. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Eddie’s band.B. Eddie’s Jump.C. Eddie’s life story.D. Eddie’s achievements.25.

It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.On the platform, visitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures: The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program.In the digital age, the model of “culture+ technology” has been introduced to facilitate the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China’s precious cultural relics is now over 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Industry Research Report released by iResearch.Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum’s WeChat mini program.The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of cultural intellectual property (知识产权) by digital means. China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer (神鹿) Youyou. It was created basedon the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform.28.

By giving a definition.D. By giving an example.31. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. China’s new way in rebuilding Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave.B. China’s success in promoting the digitization rate of cultural relics.C. China’s interactive digital platform in developing Dunhuang culture.D. China’s latest advances in the development of cultural intellectual property.DIt’s commonly acknowledged that our lives are ruled by algorithms (算法), but have we really collectively understood how they have transformed our culture and personality?In Filterworld: How algorithms flattened culture, Kyle Chayka argues convincingly that the rise of algorithm-driven feeds, used everywhere online from Instagram to Spotify, has led to a more uniform culture. Our tastes and desires increasingly don’t belong to us, but to algorithms that are designed to keep people engaged at all costs. If the collection of our tastes truly shapes our entire personality, then this loss is more psychologically damaging than it first appears. Aimlessly scrolling (滚屏) through Netflix or TikTok may seem harmless, but over days, months or years, we lose touch with what we like and enjoy.Taste-making algorithms are inescapable. Chayka shows this by working through all corners of life: what we wear(TikTok), where we eat(Google Maps), music we listen to(Spotify), even who we date or marry(Tinder). Thisuniverse of algorithm-driven decisions has society-wide implications: “It extends to influence our physical spaces, our cities, and the routes we move through…flattening them in turn.” No one gets out of the Filterworld untouched.If you’re lucky enough not to need any sort of algorithm-based system for your work, then you have the option to step back from algorithms for a while. But if your friend suggests a film recommended on X/Twitter or you feel the need to buy those shoes suddenly everyone has started wearing after social media advertisements, what are youto do? It all feels fruitless.This Filterworld may be inescapable, but there is hope. You can start by engaging more with the media you do choose to consume. This could mean reading up about a film you watched or paying artists you like directly. Even the thoughtful act of recommending an album (专辑) to a friend is more rewarding than a random TikTok feed. As Chayka says, resistance to algorithms “requires an act of willpower, a choice to move through the world in a different way.”32. What is Kyle Chayka’s opinion on algorithms?A. They improve our tastes.B. They make our culture more alike.C. They help to identify our personality.D. They contribute to psychological problems.33. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The society with advanced technology.B. The world without social media platforms.C. The network of algorithm-driven decisions.D. The community free from algorithmic influence.34. Which of the following is a way to resist the impact of algorithms?A. Limiting the use of social media platforms.B. Making choices based on friends’ suggestions.C. Getting more involved with the selected media.D. Disconnecting from social media advertisements.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Algorithms: Cultural TakeoverB. The Secret of AlgorithmsC. Social Media: Cultural MessengerD. The Rise of Digital Platforms第二节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A．missing Ed's funeralB．moving away from his neighborhoodC．forgetting to send Ed Christmas cardsD．not being able to keep in touch with Ed18．From Paragraph4,we can learn that the author of the passage________.A．often failed to write to his friendsB．had no intention to write to his friendsC．had many great moments with his friendsD．was good at expressing feelings to his friends19．What message does the passage probably try to convey?A．Comfort your friends when they are feeling down.B．Life is unpredictable,so live each day as if it were your last.C．Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words.D．Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships.【答案】16．A17．D18．A19．DLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days,but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my16years,it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along.With any relationship,you need to let other person know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate,you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents,or anyone else,not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another.It means that you can’t just come home from school,go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say“Hi”and see how their day was for five minutes,it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word“communication”in a dictionary.It would say“the exchange of ideas,the conveyance(表达)of information,means of communication such as a letter or a message”.To keep a good relationship,you must keep communication strong.Let people know how you feel,even if it's Just by writing a note.When dealing with parents,you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent.If you are trying to make them see something as you see it,tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say,but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example:one night,Sophie went to a street party with her friends.She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks,but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home.That would be rude.After all,they had been nice enough to take her along with them.Needless to say,she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first,but when Sophie explained why she was late,they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here.If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isn’t a one-way deal:it goes both ways.Just remember:if you get into a situation like Sophie’s,tell the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.20．In the writers view,dealing with parents is__________than with children.A．more difficult B．easierC．more uninteresting D．more interesting21．The main idea of the second paragraph is____________.A．the importance of friendshipB．to make your feeling known to othersC．the importance of communicationD．the disagreement between generations22．The example in this passage proves that____________.A．Sophie is very polite to her parentsB．Sophie's parents are willing to listen to herC．explanation is the best way to solve a problemD．communication is the solution(解决办法)to misunderstanding23．All the following statements are correct except____________.A．If you don’t agree with others,you'd better let them knowB．It is better to say“Hi”to others than say nothingC．If you are not able to communicate,walk awayD．Communication is a two-way deal【答案】20．A21．C22．D23．CGreen is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes,the word“green”means young,fresh and growing.For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience.In the15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed.A century later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war.By the18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指).The expression comes from the early20th century.A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster(怪物)is not a dangerous animal from outer space.It is an expression used about400years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play“Othello”.It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.For example,a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.In most places in the world,a green light means to move ahead.In everyday speech,a green light means agree to continue with a project.24．A greenhorn now refers to________.A．a person who is new in a jobB．a new soldierC．a young horseD．a cow without horns25．A person with a green thumb is a person________.A．who is good at growing plantsB．whose thumbs are of green colorC．whose garden is greener than others’D．who is younger than his neighbors26．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if________.A．he sees a dangerous animalB．he reads a sad playC．his friend gets a prize that he wantsD．he can’t get something27．The main idea of the passage is________.A．a greenhornB．a green thumbC．the Green RevolutionD．the word“green”and its story【答案】24．A25．A26．C27．DWolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of most Native American tribes.To Native Americans,wolves often represent bravery.The animals also are signs of strength,loyalty,and success at hunting.Other cultures--such as the ancient Celtic and Nordic peoples-also placed high value on wolves.However,from the wolves in horror films to the wolves in children’s stories,wolves get a bum rap(不公正的惩罚)in both literature and English expressions.To begin with,there is the term lone wolf.The lone wolf isn’t a bad person.But they like to do things on their own.However,the term can mean something less than desirable.Lonewolf makes you think the person doesn’t want to be around people because he or she dislikes them.Now,let’s move on to the home.Parents might criticize their children for wolfing down their food.In other words,the child eats very quickly and without care.And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.A wolf at the door means someone to whom you owe money is waiting just outside your door.By the way,there are two popular wolf-related expressions that come from Aesop,the ancient Greek storyteller.The first is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside.Aesop’s other wolf fable also involves a shepherd,but not a hardworking one.He is known as the boy who cried wolf.People who cry wolf are not trusted.People are so familiar with this story,you simply have to say cry wolf for them to know what you mean. 28．According to the passage,which group of people may think wolves are bad animals? A．The ancient Nordic people B．The ancient Celtic peopleC．Native Americans D．The English people29．Which of the following can describe a person who often acts alone?A．A wild wolf B．A lone wolfC．A wolf at the door D．A wolf in sheep’s clothing30．What may you probably mean by saying someone cries wolf?A．The person is selfish B．The person is a liarC．The person is stubborn D．The person is a troublemaker31．What is the passage mainly about?A．Stories about wolvesB．The research on wolvesC．Expressions about wolvesD．The cultural differences about wolves【答案】28．D29．B30．B31．CJohn H．Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in1918．His father died in an accident when John was six．He was reaching the high school age，but his hometown offered no high school for blacks．Fortunately he had a strong﹣willed caring mother．John remembered that his mother told him many times，"Son，you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe．"She told him not to depend on others，including his mother．"You have to earn success，"she said．"All the people who work hard don't succeed，but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard．"These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education．She also knew that believing hard work don't mean everything．So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son，who was then15，to Chicago．Chicago in1933was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for．John's mother and stepfather could not find work．But here John could go to school，and here he learned the power of words﹣as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks．While others discouraged him，John's mother offered him more words to live by．"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"She also let him pawn（典当）her furniture to get the ﹩500he needed to start the Negro magazine．It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful．He always keeps his mother's words in mind．"Son，failure is not in your vocabulary!"Now John H．Johnson is one of the400richest people in America﹣worth﹩150million．32．Why did John's mother decide to move to Chicago?A．his father died when John was very youngB．life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC．John needed more education badlyD．there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown33．John's mother．A．didn't believe in or depend on othersB．thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC．believed one would succeed without working hardD．thought no one could succeed without working hard34．What does the underlined sentence"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"mean?A．if you try，you would succeedB．a failure is difficult to beat，even if you tryC．a try is always followed by a failureD．no failure can be beaten unless you try．【答案】32．C33．D34．DIf you’d like to go sightseeing,the following World Heritage Sites may be your best choices. Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest AreaThe Jiuzhaigou Valley,which lies in the northern part of Sichuan Province,reaches a height of more than4,800meters,with a series of different forest ecosystems(生态系统).There you can enjoy watching excellent waterfalls.Some140kinds of birds also live in the valley,as well as a number of endangered plants and animals,the giant panda included.For more information,please visit http://whc,unesco,org//en/list/637.Khaml Ruins National MonumentThe city of Khami,which developed after the capital of Great Zimbabwe had been given up in the mid-16th century,is of great archaeological(考古的)interest.The discovery of objects from Europe and China shows that Khami was a major centre for trade over a long period of time.For more information,please visit http://whc,unesco,org/en/list/365.Henderson IslandHenderson Island,which lies in the eastern South Pacific,is one of the few atolls(环礁)in the world whose ecology has not been touched by human beings.It is especially famous for the ten plants and four land birds that can only be seen on the island.For more information,please visit /en/list/487.The Old City of JerusalemAs a holy city for three different religions in the Middle East,Jerusalem has always been of great religious(宗教的)importance.It was given a World Heritage Status in1981and placedon the“List of World Heritage in Danger”the following year.For more information,please visit /en/list/148.35．What can we know about the Jiuzhaigou Valley?A．It has different forest ecosystems.B．It sits at the foot of a4,800-meter high mountain.C．In all about140kinds of birds and animals live there.D．Most of China’s endangered plants can be found there.36．The discovery of some of the objects in Khami shows that the city_____.A．had a very short historyB．was ruined in the mid-16th centuryC．was once Great Zimbabwe’s largest cityD．once played a great role as a trade center37．What can be learned about Henderson Island from the passage?A．It hasn’t been greatly influenced by human activities.B．It isn’t suitable for humans to live on.C．It has been open to visitors for years.D．It is made up of a few large atolls.38．If you are interested in religion,you should visit______.A．/en/list/365B．/en/list/148C．/en/list/487D．/en/list/637【答案】35．A36．D37．A38．BIt seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become increasingly important assistants in their lives.As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities.The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers.Because phonenumbers are stored in smartphone contacts,there’s now no need to dial a number or look at it again.______________________________________________.And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want.People get so dependent on them that when they can’t use their smartphones,they get lost and anxious.But the worst lost skills may be social ones,meaning that some people are becoming socially inept(无能的).People often bury themselves in their smartphones.As we’re tooabsent-minded by what’s happening in the virtual(虚拟的)some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can’t even tell whether a person is happy or not.Last August,researchers at the University of California,Los Angeles,studied51students aged11and12who had over five hours’screen time every day.Their task was to tell the emotions of48pictures of faces that were happy,sad,angry or scared.The children made an average of14.02mistakes at the beginning.But after a five-day camp without electronic(电子的)products,they made only9.41mistakes on average. Luckily,people still have a chance to get these abilities back.You should try to keep your parents’numbers in mind for emergencies.You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores,which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost.And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.39．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that______.A．you are able to turn to others for helpB．others are able to call you anytime and anywhereC．others are unable to get in touch with you by smartphoneD．you are unable to contact others without your smartphone40．The experiment shows that without electronic products,one could______. A．recognize more facial expressions correctlyB．lose the sense of direction frequentlyC．tell different emotions immediatelyD．tell more pictures of faces easily41．Overusing smartphones,people will probably______A．have no sense of numbersB．fail to find their destinationC．lose face-to-face communication skillsD．weaken their senses of hearing and sight42．What’s the writer’s attitude towards electronic products?A．Objective.B．Critical.C．Supportive.D．Optimistic.【答案】39．D40．A41．C42．BA good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting place.When you like your teachers,it’s easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks.When you consider your teachers as friends,you’ll certainly have more respect for them.When your teachers consider you to be a friend,they’ll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way.Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers:Ask questions.If you have any questions about that subject,ask them.Show them that you’re interested in their subjects.That will make them notice you.But never ask questions that you already know the answers to.If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions,they might think that you’re not actually trying to learn,but only trying to make an impression.Talk about non-school subjects.When you see one of your teachers in the hall,greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie.That way you’ll show that you consider him/her as a reined.Some teachers don’t like to have friendly relationships with students,but most of them are happy to chat with their students.After a while,they may start to talk with you about non-school subjects in the classroom.The rest is totally up to you;it is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers.If you want to be friends with your teachers,just treat them as friends,but don’t forget that no matter how good friends you are,they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.43．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A．How to make friends with your teachers in or out of class.B．How important a good teacher-student relationship is.C．How to make yourself pay attention to your teachers in class.D．Some tips for developing a friendly relationship with your teachers.44．When you ask a teacher questions you already know the answers to,__________. A．you may make a fool of yourself trying to be smartB．it means that you should not be above asking questionsC．you are actually trying to make fun of your teachersD．it shows that you’re trying to pretend to know everything45．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．What a good teacher-student relationship is.B．How to make friends with your classmates at school.C．How to make the classroom a very inviting place.D．How to develop a good relationship with your teachers.【答案】43．B44．A45．DElephants are able to know the difference between a man and a woman,and can tell an adult(成年人)from a child—all from the sound of a human voice.This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai ually Masai people hunt elephants,and this suggests that animals have grown to listen for and avoid them.Prof.Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study.They explained that in former research they had used similar experiments to show that elephants could tell—from the sound of a lion—whether the animal was a female(雌性)or a more dangerous male(雄性).Prof.McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to recognize danger from humans.The scientists recorded Masai men,women and children saying,in their own language,“Look,look over there,a group of elephants are coming.”They also recorded Kamba mensaying this phrase.Masai people often come across elephants,which can result in violent(暴力的)hunting. Kamba people,however,mainly feed on agriculture,which does not generally bring them into violent touch with the animals.When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden speaker, they found that elephant family groups showed more fear in response to the voice of a Masai man,than to a Kamba man’s voice.And the adult male Masai voices caused far more violent response than the voices of women or boys.46．An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of________.A．touch B．sight C．smell D．hearing 47．How did the researchers get to know the elephants’special ability?A．By watching the elephants in the zoo.B．By playing voice recordings to them. C．By recording the behaviors of elephants.D．By communicating with them in a special way.48．We can learn from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of________. A．Masai men B．Masai women C．Kamba men D．Kamba women 49．What is the best title for the passage?A．Elephants and Human Beings B．Differences Between Human Voices C．Elephants Recognize Human Voices D．Elephants at War with Human Beings【答案】46．D47．B48．A49．CEarthquakes are something that people fear.There are some places that have few or no earthquakes.Most places in the world,however,have them regularly.Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in1906. Over700people died in it.The strongest one in North America was in1964.It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people.In1755,one of thestrongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal.Around2,000people died.In1923,a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo,Yokohama area of Japan.A hundred and forty thousand people died.Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in2008.It killed a large number of people.The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China,in which400,000people were killed or injured.This earthquake happened in1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot.The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming.People cannot prepare for earthquakes.50．Earthquakes happen________.A．in all the places in the worldB．only in the countries that have a lot of mountainsC．regularly in most places in the worldD．only in a few places along the coast51．When and where was the worst earthquake ever reported?A．In1964in Alaska.B．In1556in China.C．In1923in Japan.D．In2008in China.52．According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A．The stronger the earthquake is,the more people are killed.B．Earthquakes often come unexpectedly.C．Earthquakes can cause fires.D．People still don't know how to tell when an earthquake will come.53．What may be talked about in the seventh paragraph?A．How do earthquakes worry people?B．What will people do to prepare for earthquakes?C．How can we save people when earthquakes happen?D．How do earthquakes happen?【答案】50．C51．B52．A53．B。

AIt is a cold, dark winter evening — the kind of night that can have runners struggling to find the encouragement to run out. But there will be none of the usual “shall-I-shan’t-I?” dialogue going on in Sarah Donaghy’s head, because tonight is Food Bank Run.Donaghy, a teacher and the welfare officer for Fareham running club, organised the first Food Bank Run in February 2018. “The idea was that, instead of our usual training run, we’d fill backpacks with food to donate to the local food bank and run there, where volunteers would be waiting to receive it,” she says. Donaghy was expecting about 20 members to take part: “I lost count by the time I got to 70.”Claire Johnson, the community team leader at the Waypoint Hub, which houses food bank, says, “It was an amazing and emotional experience to see so many runners arrive at our building, bringing much-needed supplies.” But it wasn’t just the food bank that benefited from it. “The runners loved it,” says Donaghy. “The following week after the first run, they were all asking when we could do it again.”A running equipment company, Runr, joined to help with publicity and event cooperation, creating a Food Bank Run website, complete with an interactive (交互式的) map of events. “Last year, more than 500 running groups, clubs, events and parkruns got involved, donating more than 77 tonnes of supplies to food banks in their communities,” says Craig Winter, one of the founders of Runr.The event spreads a significant factor — joining with others in physical activity that has a real purpose. It is not “I must do this long run because I’m training for a marathon” or “I must exercise because I’m trying to lose weight”, but something greater. “I truly believe that running for a cause changes your view,” Donaghy says. “Yes, you could do it by entering a marathon and raising money for a charity, but there’s something quite special about handing over food that’s going to someone in your community who really needs it.”21. What did runners do in the Food Bank Run?A. They performed their usual training.B. They prepared food for the volunteers.C. They delivered food to the local food bank.D. They collected donations during the run.22. How did Johnson feel about the first Food Bank Run?A. Appreciative.B. Puzzled.C. Worried.D. Curious.23. What can we learn about Runr?A.

AEveryone has unique needs and preferences, and individual sleep requirements are no different. However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age.Official recommendations for the length of a person’s sleep are broken down by age group:Older adults (65+): 7–8 hoursAdults (18–64 years): 7–9 hoursTeenagers (14–17 years): 8–10 hoursSchool children (6–13 years): 9–11 hoursPreschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours (including naps)Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours (including naps)Infants (4–12 months): 12–15 hours (including naps)Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hoursHowever, some people might need more or less sleep than is generally recommended, depending on the following factors. Genetic makeupYour genetics are an important factor in how many hours of sleep you need per night.For example, those with one specific genetic mutation (基因突变) need only around 6 hours, whereas people without it require about 8 hours, on average.Sleep qualityThe quality of your sleep can also affect how much you need.If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.The refore, it’s not only important to focus on sleeping long enough but also on sleeping well enough.

Breathtaking scenery.BWhen Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed more solutions to enjoy concerts. "What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations（震动）through theirfingers," Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of-hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the "Chief Vibration Officer" of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying different vibrating cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn't quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic （触觉的）suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a undershirt that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle, When you wear the suit, it's surprising how it feels.The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. "What we're doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body," said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was displayed on a screen on the stage.The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. "It's cool, because I'm never quite sure if I'm hearing what other people are hearing, so it's amazingto get the music in my body."4. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems?A. The attitude they held to life.B. The way they enjoyed music.C. The love they had for balloons.D. The frequency they vibrated fingers.5. Why did the team's initial attempt fail?A. The vibrations lacked variety.B. The vibrations were irregular.C. The motors were the same.D. The motors hardly worked.6. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?A. Displaying music on the stage.B. Selecting proper suits for participants.C. Mixed methods helping people feel the music.D. Interpreters with excellent sign language skills.7. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit?A. It's comforting.B. It's challenging.C. It's satisfying.D. It's disturbing.CA team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard.The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive （草书）on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type."We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard," says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. "Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding （编码）new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning." The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper."We've shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it's the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing," Audrey adds. "This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty differentiating between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as 'b' and 'd'. They haven't felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters."Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. "There's some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay," Audrey concludes.8. What was the special cap used to do?A. Measure the participants' brain activity.B. Evaluate the participants' writing styles.C. Tell the participants when to write or type.D. Record the time the participants used to write.9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study?A. Its backgrounds.B. Its equipment.C. Its outcomes.D. Its process.10. What plays the key role in strengthening brain connectivity?A. Writing letters carefully by hand.B. Forming the habit of taking notes.C. Recognizing letters' mirror images.D. Learning to practice cursive writing.11. What does the underlined word "pragmatic" in the last paragraph mean?A. Difficult.B. Traditional.C. Special.D. Practical.DWhen I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology."What's so innovative about that?" a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. "Why couldn't they both be innovative?" I asked.We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology's capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied AI into hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.True innovation isn't just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting "old" ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview（后视的）innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn't new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and physicality.12. Which of the following best describes Samcheong Park Library?A. Dull but convenient.B. Simple but refreshing.C. Old-fashioned but cozy.D. Unexceptional but spacious.13. What can we learn about innovation from Paragraph 3?A. Its true meaning is to buy new things.B. It is important for the growth of economy.C. It shouldn't involve simple and effective ideas.D. Its true meaning has been misread by the public.14. Which statement will the author probably agree with?A. Magic devices encourage innovation.B. Innovation should be human-centered.C. The power of technology is undervalued.D. Wasting resources are a must for innovation.15. What is the writing purpose of the text?A. To introduce some best ideas about innovation.B. To show that future lies in returning to the past.C. To convince people of the true meaning of innovation.D. To stress the important role innovation plays in economy.第二部分阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
