He talked of New York and San Francisco, plays, pictures, and politics. In three days he knew everyone on board. He was certainly the best hated man in the ship. He enjoyed argument. He knew everything better than others, and the possibility of his being mistaken never occurred to him.A man called Ramsay bitterly hated him.Ramsay was an American Embassy serviceman in Japan. He was on his way back to his post, after a visit to New York to fetch his wife who had been spending a year at home. His wife was pretty. Her husband was badly-paid, and she was dressed simply; but she knew how to wear her clothes. She achieved an effect of quiet beauty.One evening, Mr. Kelada talked all his way. The conversation moved to pearls (珍珠).Mr. Kelada told us all about pearls. I believe Ramsay knew nothing about them, but he couldn’t resist the opportunity to fight back at Mr. Kelada, and soon they were in a heated argument. Mr. Kelada hit the table:“I know what I am talking about. I’m going to Japan just to look into pearl business. I know all the best pearls in the world. I can tell pearls with half an eye.”He pointed to a chain that Mrs. Ramsay wore. “You take my word for it, Mrs. Ramsay, that chain you’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now.”Mrs. Ramsay hid the chain inside her dress. Ramsay said with a smile: “That’s a pretty chain of Mrs. Ramsay’s, isn’t it4?”“I noticed it at once,” answered Mr. Kelada. “Those are really good pearls.”“I didn’t buy it myself, of course. How much do you think it cost?”“About 15,000 dollars. But on Fifth Avenue, it shouldn’t be surprised to hear that 30,000 was paid for it.”Ramsay smiled: “You’ll be surprised to hear that Mrs. Ramsay bought it for 18 dollars.”Mr. Kelada rush ed: “It’s not only real, but also the finest.”“Will you bet on it? I，l bet you a hundred dollars it’s imitation.”“Done.”“Oh，don’t bet, it’s just imitation.” said Mrs. Ramsay and her tone was unhappy.“Let me look at the chain, and I can afford to lose 100 dollars，” said Mr. Kelada.“Take it off, dear. Let the gentleman look at it.”Mrs. Ramsay hesitated. “I can’t undo it，，’ she said. “Mr. Kelada can just believe me.”I had a sudden feeling that something unfortunate was about to occur.Ramsay jumped up: “I’ll undo it.”He handed the chain to Mr. Kelada, who took a magnifier and closely examined it. A smile spread over his face. He was about to speak. Suddenly he caught sight of Mrs. Ramsay’s face. It was white. She looked as if she were about to faint. She was staring at him with wide and terrified eyes. They held a desperate appeal; it was so clear that I wondered why her husband did not see it.Mr. Kelada stopped with his mouth open.“I was mistaken，’’ he said. “It，s a very good imitation, but as soon as I looked through my glass I saw that it wasn’t real. I think 18 dollars is the right price.”He took out a hundred-dollar bill. He handed it to Ramsay without a word.“Perhaps that’ll teach you a lesson，” said Ramsay as he took the money.The story spread over the ship. Mr. Kelada was laughed at badly. But Mrs. Ramsay went to her room with a headache.Next morning I got up and began to shave. Suddenly there was some sound and I saw a letter pushed under the door. I picked it up and saw it was to Mr. Kelada. I handed it to him.He took from the envelope a hundred-dollar bill.I looked at him smiling: “Were the pearls real?”“Yes. If I had a pretty wife I shouldn’t let her spend a year in New York while I stayed in Japan,” said he. At that moment I didn’t d islike Mr. Kelada.36.The reason why Mr. Kelada was disliked by many people was that he______.A. cared for no one elseB. felt so good with himselfC. pretended to be learnedD. cheated people with lies37.According to the passage, Mr. Ramsay______.A. had earned a good wealthB. dressed his wife in a proper wayC. had special interest in pearlsD. intended to teach Kelada a lesson38.“That chain you’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now” means______.A. the value of the chain is sure to go upB. the value of the chain is going downC. the chain is worth no more than a centD. the chain is just worth nothing at all39.Mrs. Ramsay was unwilling to show her pearls because she knew______.A. they were worthless imitationB. they would be made fun ofC. they were really too expensiveD. they would soon lose the value40.It was very______ of Mr. Kelada not to tell the truth.A. carelessB. impoliteC. cruelD. thoughtful41.

江苏省丹阳高级中学2024届高三下学期2月月考英语试卷(含答案)
江苏省丹阳高级中学2024届高三下学期2月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解The Self-Portrait ChallengeHave you ever done a self-portrait in an art lesson at school Today, we’re challenging you to write self-portrait poems. It’s not uncommon to feel like the way people see you on the outside doesn’t quite match up with how you feel on the inside. So creating a self-portrait can be a good opportunity to address those differences and present the realest, truest version of yourself. Your challenge is to create a self-portrait in lines, using words instead of paint. Read on for some more inspiration.Writing Tips● Have a go at writing a list of metaphors exploring your physical appearance, starting from your head and working your way down towards your feet.● Instead of representing yourself directly, take on another character, such as a fictional character, a historical figure, or even a different version of yourself.● Play around with personification, by taking on the voice of a physical object in your poem. Think about what a self-portrait from the point of view of a mirror, or a bowl of your favourite foodwould look likeHow to enterThis challenge is for writers aged up to 25 based anywhere in the world. The deadline is 23:59 GMT, 17 March 2024. You can send a poem, or poems, written down, or as video or audio files. We are using Submittable to accept submissions to this challenge. You will need to make a free Submittable account to submit in this way. Using Submittable helps our team to administrate and process entries more quickly. Selected poets will be published on Young Poets Network.1．What does the Self-portrait Challenge encourage participants to doA. Explore true selves.B. Convey positive emotions.C. Illustrate personal profiles.D. Compare different personalities. 2．What is suggested to better handle the challengeA. Using simple language.B. Presenting yourself directly.C. Taking a different point of view.D. Focusing on physical appearance.3．What is “Submittable” likely to beA. A writing tool.B. A search engine.C. An email account.D. An online platform.In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, thereis no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest; a competition she won last year.As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the con test again That’s the strange thing abou t being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.An enlightenment came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again ” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into mine without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.4．What do we learn from the first paragraphA. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.B. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.D. A lot of distractions compe te for children’s time nowadays. 5．What does the author say about her own writing experienceA. She does not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.B. Her way to success is full of pains and frustrations.C. She is constantly under pressure of writing more.D. Most of her stories are rejected by publishers.6．Why does Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contestA. She wants to share her story with readers.B. She believes she possesses real talent for writing.C. She is sure of winning with her mother’s help.D. She has won a prize in the previous contest.7．What’s the author’s advice for parentsA. A writing career is not for every child to pursue.B. Children should be allowed room to grow through experiences.C. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.D. Children should be given every chance to voice their options. Andrea Lankford quit her job after spending 12 years as a National Park Service forester specializing in search and rescue missions in scenic and remote American landscapes. However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them.Trail of the Lost was her answer.It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey.The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men andshows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search.Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Manywarm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations.The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral ru les, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT.Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is packed with pain,sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek.8．What led Lankford to write Trail of the LostA. Her love for her prior career.B. Her strong attachment to the PCT.C. The stress from the missing families.D. Her investigation into hikers’ disappearance.9．What is presented on the second level of the bookA. Efforts by different people in searches.B. A string of wilderness survival tips.C. Approaches to information classification.D. Respective stories of the three hikers.10．What’s the purpose of mentioning Lankford’s previous adventuresA. To promote her book.B. To make her a celebrity.C. To motivate hikers to challenge themselves.D. To stress the difficulty of hiking the PCT.11．What can we say about the bookA. It targets single youth.B. It’s a romantic novel.C. It’s based on actual events.D. It’s a detailed account of a journey. The idea that we need to eat meat to get enough protein and ironis a common misconception. It ignores the abundance of protein and iron in many plant-based foods. Likewise, while we typically associate omega-3 fatty acids with fish, fish themselves absorb these into their tissue by eating seaweed, which we can consume directly without the concerns of exposure to microplastics in fish flesh.Indeed, a whole-food, plant-based diet can provide all essential nutrients except for vitamin B12. While modern sanitation (卫生) allows humans to consume clean produce unpolluted by dirt, we can easily and cheaply obtain oral B12 supplements (补充). Obviously, significantly reducing our consumption of meat would carry vast benefits. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death around the world. Eating highly processed foods and red meat has been repeatedly demonstrated to promote underlying mechanisms of cancer and cardiovascular disease, such as inflammation(炎症)and damage to the lining of blood vessels (血管).Mounting evidence points to the benefits of a whole-food,plant-based diet. Studies from 2017found that a vegetarian diet is associated with a 25 percent relative risk reduction for coronary heart disease and an 8 percent relative risk reduction for cancer, with a vegan diet related to a 15 percent relative risk reduction forcancer.Besides harming ourselves, eating meat harms others. Factory farming practices often entail unspeakable cruelty to animals, and working conditions for workers are also unsafe. Overcrowding of livestock and workers promotes the spread of disease among both people and animals, putting us all at risk for future pandemics. The overuse of antibiotics (抗生素) to accelerate animal growth and precautiously treat the infections anticipated as a result of living in unclean and overcrowded conditions can promote antibiotic resistance.While national and international action is undoubtedly needed to fight immoral factory farming practices, educators and policy makers should consider the importance of acting as role models for healthy behaviors themselves as well as advocating for policies that ensure better nutritional access and education for others.

Sadly, these comparisons usually result in our feeling inadequate and “less than”.These harmful comparisons also damage our emotional lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety of unpleasant and unhealthy emotions. We feel jealousy and envy for what others have and what we lack. ④________It’s one thing to realize that you compare yourself to others.

He talked of New York and San Francisco, plays, pictures, and politics. In three days he knew everyone on board. He was certainly the best hated man in the ship. He enjoyed argument. He knew everything better than others, and the possibility of his being mistaken never occurred to him.A man called Ramsay bitterly hated him.Ramsay was an American Embassy serviceman in Japan. He was on his way back to his post, after a visit to New York to fetch his wife who had been spending a year at home. His wife was pretty. Her husband was badly-paid, and she was dressed simply; but she knew how to wear her clothes. She achieved an effect of quiet beauty.One evening, Mr. Kelada talked all his way. The conversation moved to pearls (珍珠).Mr. Kelada told us all about pearls. I believe Ramsay knew nothing about them, but he couldn’t resist the opportunity to fight back at Mr. Kelada, and soon they were in a heated argument. Mr. Kelada hit the table:“I know what I am talking about. I’m going to Japan just to look into pearl business. I know all the best pearls in the world. I can tell pearls with half an eye.”He pointed to a chain that Mrs. Ramsay wore. “You take my word for it, Mrs. Ramsay, that chain you’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now.”Mrs. Ramsay hid the chain inside her dress. Ramsay said with a smile: “That’s a pretty chain of Mrs. Ramsay’s, isn’t it4?”“I noticed it at once,” answered Mr. Kelada. “Those are really good pearls.”“I didn’t buy it myself, of course. How much do you think it cost?”“About 15,000 dollars. But on Fifth Avenue, it shouldn’t be surprised to hear that 30,000 was paid for it.”Ramsay smiled: “You’ll be surprised to hear that Mrs. Ramsay bought it for 18 dollars.”Mr. Kelada rush ed: “It’s not only real, but also the finest.”“Will you bet on it? I，l bet you a hundred dollars it’s imitation.”“Done.”“Oh，don’t bet, it’s just imitation.” said Mrs. Ramsay and her tone was unhappy.“Let me look at the chain, and I can afford to lose 100 dollars，” said Mr. Kelada.“Take it off, dear. Let the gentleman look at it.”Mrs. Ramsay hesitated. “I can’t undo it，，’ she said. “Mr. Kelada c an just believe me.”I had a sudden feeling that something unfortunate was about to occur.Ramsay jumped up: “I’ll undo it.”He handed the chain to Mr. Kelada, who took a magnifier and closely examined it. A smile spread over his face. He was about to speak. Suddenly he caught sight of Mrs. Ramsay’s face. It was white. She looked as if she were about to faint. She was staring at him with wide and terrified eyes. They held a desperate appeal; it was so clear that I wondered why her husband did not see it.Mr. Kelada stopped with his mouth open.“I was mistaken，’’ he said. “It，s a very good imitation, but as soon as I looked through my glass I saw that it wasn’t real. I think 18 dollars is the right price.”He took out a hundred-dollar bill. He handed it to Ramsay without a word.“Perhaps that’ll teach you a lesson，” said Ramsay as he took the money.The story spread over the ship. Mr. Kelada was laughed at badly. But Mrs. Ramsay went to her room with a headache.Next morning I got up and began to shave. Suddenly there was some sound and I saw a letter pushed under the door. I picked it up and saw it was to Mr. Kelada. I handed it to him.He took from the envelope a hundred-dollar bill.I looked at him smiling: “Were the pearls real?”“Yes. If I had a pretty wife I shouldn’t let her spend a year in New York while I stayed in Japan,” said he. At that moment I didn’t d islike Mr. Kelada.36.The reason why Mr. Kelada was disliked by many people was that he______.A. cared for no one elseB. felt so good with himselfC. pretended to be learnedD. cheated people with lies37.According to the passage, Mr. Ramsay______.A. had earned a good wealthB. dressed his wife in a proper wayC. had special interest in pearlsD. intended to teach Kelada a lesson38.“That chain you’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now”means______.A. the value of the chain is sure to go upB. the value of the chain is going downC. the chain is worth no more than a centD. the chain is just worth nothing at all39.Mrs. Ramsay was unwilling to show her pearls because she knew______.A. they were worthless imitationB. they would be made fun ofC. they were really too expensiveD. they would soon lose the value40.It was very______ of Mr. Kelada not to tell the truth.A. carelessB. impoliteC. cruelD. thoughtful41.

He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeare’s play “The Comedy of Errors”, Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play “Macbeth”, Shakespeare most likely used a wo rk on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity（强度）of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language o f the city’s tradesmen. Shakespeare’s knowledge of the English co untryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in w hich Shakespeare’s works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of “critic”, “mountaineer” and “eyeball”. Many common expressions inEnglish come from his plays, including “pomp and circumstance （装腔作势）” from “Othello”, “full circle（绕圈子地）” from “King Lear”, etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shakespe are’s plays have been translated into every major language in the world.Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid off.36. From the passage, we can see that ________.A. Shakespeare was hard-working when he was a studentB. many of Shakespeare’s works were infl uenced by earlier writingsC. the experience of living in London had no effect on Shakespeare’s worksD. Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works37. Why could Sh akespeare’s works survive his time?A. Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.B. Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.C. Because his works were rich in imagination and language.D. Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.38. Shakespeare’s greatest influence should be on .A. paintingsB. televisionC. the English languageD. music and dance39. The passage is mainly about .A. an introduction to Shakespeare’s life and his worksB. the main features and styles of Shakespeare’s playsC. Shakespeare’s greatest influence on the world culture.D. how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture.BOne of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some da y get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnection between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（认知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents — and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he。

He talked of New York and San Francisco, plays, pictures, and politics. In three days he knew everyone on board. He was certainly the best hated man in the ship. He enjoyed argument. He knew everything better than others, and the possibility of his being mistaken never occurred to him.A man called Ramsay bitterly hated him.Ramsay was an American Embassy serviceman in Japan. He was on his way back to his post, after a visit to New York to fetch his wife who had been spending a year at home. His wife was pretty. Her husband was badly-paid, and she was dressed simply; but she knew how to wear her clothes. She achieved an effect of quiet beauty.One evening, Mr. Kelada talked all his way. The conversation moved to pearls (珍珠).Mr. Kelada told us all about pearls. I believe Ramsay knew nothing about them, but he couldn’t resist the opportunity to fight back at Mr. Kelada, and soon they were in a heated argument. Mr. Kelada hit the table:“I know what I am talking about. I’m going to Japan just to look into pearl business. I know all the best pearls in the world.I can tell pearls with half an eye.”He pointed to a chain that Mrs. Ramsay wore. “You take my word for it, Mrs. Ramsay, that chain you’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now.”Mrs. Ramsay hid the chain inside her dress. Ramsay said with a smile: “That’s a pretty chain of Mrs. Ramsay’s, isn’t it4?”“I noticed it at once,” answered Mr. Kelada. “Those are really good pearls.”“I didn’t buy it myself, of course. How much do you think it cost?”“About 15,000 dollars. But on Fifth Avenue, it shouldn’t be surprised to hear that 30,000 was paid for it.”Ramsay smiled: “You’ll be surprised to hear th at Mrs. Ramsay bought it for 18 dollars.”Mr. Kelada rush ed: “It’s not only real, but also the finest.”“Will you bet on it? I，l bet you a hundred dollars it’s imitation.”“Done.”“Oh，don’t bet, it’s just imitation.” said Mrs. Ramsay and her tone was unhappy.“Let me look at the chain, and I can afford to lose 100 dollars，” said Mr. Kelada.“Take it off, dear. Let the gentleman look at it.”Mrs. Ramsay hesitated. “I can’t undo it，，’ she said. “Mr. Kelada can just believe me.”I had a sudden feeling that something unfortunate was about to occur.Ramsay jumped up: “I’ll undo it.”He handed the chain to Mr. Kelada, who took a magnifier and closely examined it. A smile spread over his face. He was about to speak. Suddenly he caught sight of Mrs. Ramsay’s face. It was white. She looked as if she were about to faint. She was staring at him with wide and terrified eyes. They held a desperate appeal; it was so clear that I wondered why her husband did not see it.Mr. Kelada stopped with his mouth open.“I was mistak en，’’ he said. “It，s a very good imitation,but as soon as I looked through my glass I saw that it wasn’t real. I think 18 dollars is the right price.”He took out a hundred-dollar bill. He handed it to Ramsay without a word.“Perhaps that’ll teach you a lesson，” said Ramsay as he took the money.The story spread over the ship. Mr. Kelada was laughed at badly. But Mrs. Ramsay went to her room with a headache.Next morning I got up and began to shave. Suddenly there was some sound and I saw a letter pushed under the door. I picked it up and saw it was to Mr. Kelada. I handed it to him.He took from the envelope a hundred-dollar bill.I looked at him smiling: “Were the pearls real?”“Yes. If I had a pretty wife I shouldn’t let her spend a year in New York whi le I stayed in Japan,” said he. At that moment I didn’t d islike Mr. Kelada.36.The reason why Mr. Kelada was disliked by many people was that he______.A. cared for no one elseB. felt so good with himselfC. pretended to be learnedD. cheated people with lies37.According to the passage, Mr. Ramsay______.A. had earned a good wealthB. dressed his wife in a proper wayC. had special interest in pearlsD. intended to teach Kelada a lesson38.“That chain you’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than i t is now” means______.A. the value of the chain is sure to go upB. the value of the chain is going downC. the chain is worth no more than a centD. the chain is just worth nothing at all39.Mrs. Ramsay was unwilling to show her pearls because she knew______.A. they were worthless imitationB. they would be made fun ofC. they were really too expensiveD. they would soon lose the value40.It was very______ of Mr. Kelada not to tell the truth.A. carelessB. impoliteC. cruelD. thoughtful41. We can infer from the passage that Mrs. Ramsay’s pearl chain mi ght be bought by______.A. herselfB. her husbandC. her loverD. Mr. Kelada四、翻译：随着社会的发展，人类对水的需求不断增加，但可供人类使用的水资源却急剧减少。

The following piece shows how that experience has influenced me.”The night before I left for China, my mother called me into her room. I entered not knowing what to expect. I sat down at the end of her very neatly-made bed, opposite the bedroom table on which she kept a Ming-style vase illustrated in great detail. She told me that my great-grandmother was still living in the surroundings of Beijing. Her name was Ren Li Ling and she was 97 years old. This was the first time I had ever heard of her.The dragon on the vase snaked through the flowers and vines（藤蔓）as my mother said, “Pu Pu, look at me. You need to hear this so that when you go to China you will understand. You must keep this knowledge in your hear t.”She told me a story about my grandfather, Ren Li Ling's son, who left Beijing to go to college in Taiwan. She told me how the Chinese civil war kept him away from his mother for fifty years, so neither of them even knew that the other was alive. No one from Taiwan could visit, write, or call anyone in mainland. All lines of communication were cut off.She told me of my grandfather's devotion to his own children, and how difficult it was for him to send his daughter to America for her education, fearing that same separation. He gave my mother all that he could give — nineteen years of love and fifty years of savings. I learned how my mother, through means only available in this country, would finally be able to unite my great-grandmother with my grandfather again. The dragon curled around the vase, connecting the separate vines. For a fleeting second, I felt it was present in my mother's room. It was all very strange, yet very clear. I began to understand that this trip to China was not just for me; it was for my mother, and her father, and his mother. Now, I had not only a future, but more significantly, a past. I saw the world with new eyes.And so I went to China and met my great-grandmother. My great-aunt picked me up at the training center, and we rode in a taxi through the crowded city. The noise of the taxi and the city united into a deep roar. We finally stopped in front of a narrow street lined on either side with small one-level houses. As we made our way to a house like all the others, I drew the stares of many people in the street. My great-aunt led me through a rotting（朽烂的）doorway into a room with a furnace（炉子）, table, and a rocking chair where an old woman wearing gloves sat facing the doorway, covered with a worn brown blanket. I walked over and immediately embraced this frail woman as if I had known her all my life. My limited, broken Chinese wasn't up to expressing my complicated feelings. And even though I couldn't completely understand what she was saying in her thick Beijing accent, I knew — the same way I knew what my mother had been trying to tell me before I left. Her joy shone through her toothless smile. She wouldn't let go of my hand. I haltingly（结结巴巴地）asked her how she had managed to live such a long life. She answered inwords I will never forget, “Hope has kept me alive. I have lived this long because I wanted to see my son before I died.”My fellow team members must have wondered how two people separated by three generations could be so close. Before this trip, I would have wondered the same thing. And even now, I can't quite explain it. We were as different as two people can be; some 85 years and 8,000 miles apart. We came from two entirely different cultures; yet we were connected by a common heritage(传统).I stayed for dinner which was cooked in a black iron wok（锅）over the furnace. The meal was lavish（过分丰盛的）, prepared in my honor. As I began to eat, with my great-grandmother beside me, I felt the dragon was present. But this time, the feeling didn't pass; the dragon had become a part of me.My great-grandmother passed away last year at the age of 100. With her highest hopes and wildest dreams fulfilled, I know she died happy.41. The writer’s mother called him into her room to ___________________.A. prepare him for the trip and warn him against possible problemsB. remind him of his originC. ask him to look for his great-grandmotherD. share with him the story of her childhood42. The dragon is mentioned several times in the passage because __________________.A. the vase with the dragon on it is very valuable and beautifulB. it stands for the blood running in every ChineseC. it is a sign of the writer’s devotion to his birthplaceD. the writer’s mother hoped the writer would be as strong as a dragon43.

The writer’s grandfather was afraid of a war when sending his daughter to America.B. The hope to see her son again kept the writer’s great-grandmother alive for this long.C. It was within the writer’s expectation that he could be so close to his great-grandmother.D. The writer’s great-grandmother was reunited with her son before she died.45. Which is the best title for the text?A. We Share the Same Heritage.B. Love from My Great-grandmother.C. A Story from My Mother.D.

江苏省丹阳高级中学初中英语九年级全册Unit 6复习题(含答案解析)
一、选择题1．If you and your friend want a wrapped roast beef, a wrapped style chicken and two bottled drinks, you should pay _______.A．¥60 B．¥63 C．¥66B解析：B【详解】题意：如果你和你的朋友想要一份打包的烤牛肉，一份打包的鸡肉和两瓶饮料，你应该支付__________元。
考查数字计算。
一份打包的烤牛肉+一份打包的鸡肉+两瓶饮料=26+28+6+3=63(元)，故选B。
【点睛】本题易错点在于忽略了饮料第二瓶半价的优惠，如果没有优惠应该是26+28+(2×6)=66(元)，但是有了饮料第二瓶半价的优惠之后，计算式就应该是26+28+6+3=63(元)，故选B。
2．Thanks to Project Hope，________children have better lives.A．thousands of B．thousandsC．thousand D．thousand of A解析：A【详解】句意：多亏了“希望工程”，成千上万的孩子有了更好的生活。
考查单位数词。
1.数字（数量）+thousand：表示具体的数量，后面可直接跟可数名词复数，例如，two thousand（两千）；2.thousands of：成千上万的，许许多多的，表示不确定的数量，后面跟可数名词复数。
结合句意和选项可知选A。
【点睛】单位数词（thousand千、million百万、billion十亿、trillion兆/万亿、dozen十二、score二十）的用法如下：1.前面有具体数字时，不加-s，后面可以直接加名词，例如，five thousand birds五千只鸟/five million dollars五百万美元。
2.前没有表示数字的词，要用复数形式后加of，表示模糊数字，如：thousands of birds成千上万的鸟。

that would remove depressive blues for good．But in the past five years, growing scientific evidence has shown these drugs work for only a minority of people．And now a research journal says that these antidepressants can make many patients' depression worse．This alarming suggestion centres on the very chemical that is targeted by antidepressants-serotonin （血清素）．Drugs such as Prozac are known as selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors （or SSRIs）．Their aim is to increase the level of this ‘feel-good' chemical in the brain．But the new research, published in the journal Frontiers In Evolutionary Psychology, points out that serotonin is like a chemical Swiss Army knife, performing a very wide range of jobs in the brain and body．And when we start changing serotonin levels purposely, it may cause a wide range of unwanted effects．These can include digestive problems and even early deaths in olderpeople, according to the study's lead researcher Paul Andrews．" We need to be much more cautious about use of these drugs," says Andrews, an assistant professor of evolutionary psychology at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada．Previous research has suggested that the drugs provide little benefit for most people with mild depression, and actively help only a few of the most severely depressed．Famous psychologist Irving Kirsch has found that for many patients, SSRIs are no more effective than a placebo pill．A research in 2010 0n Danish children found a small, but significant, increase in the risk of heart problems among babies whose mothers had used SSRIs in early pregnancy（怀孕）．The key to understanding these side-effects is serotonin, says Andrews．Serotonin is also the reason why patients can often end up feeling still more depressed after they have finished a course of SSRI drugs．He argues that SSRI antidepressants disturb the brain, leaving the patient an even greater depression than before．"After long use, when a patient stops taking SSRIs, the brain will lower its levels of serotonin production," he says, adding that it also changes the way receptors in the brain respond to serotonin, making the brain less sensitive to the chemical．These changes are believed to be temporary, but studies indicate that the effects may continue for up to two years．Most disturbingly of all, Andrews' review features three recent studies which, he says ,show that elderly antidepressant users are more likely to die earlier than non-users, even after taking other important variables into account．One study, published in the British Medical Journal last year, found patients given SSRIs were more than 4 per cent more likely to die in the next year than those not on the drugs．"Serotonin is an ancient chemical," says Andrews．"It is regulating many different processes, and when you disturb these things, you can expect that it is going to cause some harm．"Stafford Lightman, professor of medicine at the University of Bristol, and a leading UK expert in brain chemicals and hormones, says Andrews' review highlights some important problems, yet it should also be taken with a pinch of salt．"This report is doing the opposite of what drug companies do," he says．“'Drug companies selectively present all the positives in their research, while this search selectively presents all the negatives that can be found．Nevertheless, Andrews' study is useful in that it is always worth pointing out that there is a downside to any medicine．" Professor Lightman adds that there is still a great deal we don't know about SSRIs-not least what they actually do in our brains．When it comes to understanding why the drugs work only for a limited part of patients, U．S．scientists think they might now have the answer．They think that in many depressed patients, it's not only the lack of feel-good serotonin causing their depression, but also a failure in the area of the brain that produces new cells throughout our lives．This area, the hippocampus, is also responsible for regulating mood and memory．Research suggests that in patients whose hippocampus has lost the ability to produce new cells, SSRIs do not bring any benefit．41．According to paragraph 2, serotonin, like a chemical Swiss Army knife, can .A．make many patients' depression worseB．cause a wide range of unwanted effectsC．affect human body and brain in
