But I didn’t think the “mother” cared about her “son” so much. I was not very fond of the woman.When we got on the bus, they still talked happily. However, when the woman got off the bus, she gave some money to the little boy. She told the boy that she wanted him to buy more books with the money so that he could do more reading.

I will never forget the lesson that I learned when I was in my primary school.One day, my 1.teacher, Mr. Brown came into the classroom. Without saying anything,he drew a line on the blackboard. Looking at the confused students, he. asked,"Who can make the line 2.?"Before he finished what he wanted to say, all of us laughed and cried,"That's too easy.""But there are some 3.. You can't remove the existing(己有的) line. You can't crase any part of it. 4.you can't even touch it."Mr. Brown added.We had never 5.that the line needed to be shortened without doing anything to it! All at once, the whole class fell into 6.. We were just looking at each other, but 7.of us came up with any idea. All our mind seemed to go blank. When I looked at Tom, the smartest student in the class, I noticed him quietly8.his head.After a while, complaints could be heard everywhere."It's impossible. It can't be done."" 9.can we do that without touching the line?"Mr. Brown didn't say anything. Slowly he 10. a piece of chalk, and carefully drew on the board another line that was longer than the first one. Then he 11.,"We can't make the line shorter, but we can draw a longer line to make it look shorter."For some time there was dead silence. Then smiles of 12.appeared on every young face.Finally we shouted and applauded(鼓掌) 13.as we realized we had learned a useful lesson.For many people, when they are faced up with competition, the first idea that will come into their mind easily is to cut others' line short. However, the art teacher showed his primary students in a 14.way that it is the wrong way to win a competition 15.cutting the line short. The right way is to make your own line longer. 1.A.math B.art C.Chinese D.English2.A.shorter B.longer C.thicker D.straighter3.A.ways B.ideas C.rules D.problems4.A.And B.But C.So D.Or5.A.agreed B.thought C.promised D.remembered 6.A.sleep B.sadnessC.silence D.embarrassment7.A.neither B.all C.some D.none8.A.keep B.lower C.hit D.nod9.A.Why B.What C.When D.How 10.A.threw away B.picked up C.looked for D.stared at 11.A.argued B.repeated C.explained D.mentioned 12.A.relief B.sadnessC.pride D.understanding13.A.excitedly B.politely C.quickly D.proudly 14.A.safe B.similar C.special D.difficult 15.A.after B.with C.from D.byA、B、C、D四个选项中选出(本题有15小题,每小题2分;共计30分)阅读理解16.What was wrong with Frank Smith?A.He didn't do well in a test.B.His mother was terribly ill.C.He had a bad time with his mom.D.He couldn't sleep well at night.17.What might be the missing words in the sentence"Be ready to ▲ ."?A.keep up working B.trust yourselfC.accept it bravely D.make another start18.What does Mary try to tell Frank with the poem?A.Get ready to win.B.Never be beaten by failures.C.Nothing is impossible.D.Success comes from hard work.阅读理解Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist. She was born in Coyoacan, near Mexico City,in1907. Frida grew up in a bright blue house with her parents and sisters. When she was six years old, she became ill with polio(小儿麻痹症) and had trouble walking fast.Frida spent a lot of her life in and out of hospitals. She had many health problems and she suffered (遭受) a lot of pain. When she was eighteen, she was in a bus accident. She broke lots of bones and she spent many months recovering. It was at this time that Frida started to paint. Many of her paintings from this time are about her life to show her pain.In 1929 Frida married Diego Rivera, a Mexican artist who was famous for painting hugemurals (壁画) on walls. Both artists continued their work and became successful at home and abroad. After they got married, Frida started to wear traditional Mexican clothes and became interested in Mexican folk art. This influenced her paintings, which are very bright and colourful, with an original style that is very personal to Frida. However, they continued to show the pain and sadness which she experienced during her life.Frida Kahlo died on 13 July 1954, after suffering more and more health problems. Her husband died three years later. Today Frida and Diego's home, La Casa Azul, is a very popular museum. It displays paintings by Frida and Dicgo, as well as many objects from their life, to help tell the story of one of the most important artists in the twentieth century.19.What can we learn from the passage?A.Frida suffered a lot of pain in her life.B.Diego Rivera's paintings were bright and colorful.C.Frida and Diego got married at the age of twenty-nine.D.Frida and Diego's home has become a famous place for people to paint.20.What does the underlined word"they"refer to in paragraph 3?A.Frida's paintings.B.Frida and her husband.C.Frida's parents and sisters.D.Traditional Mexican clothes.21.What is the correct order in which the following events happen?a.

In school, do you rush from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, you may easily get lost in what you are doing or learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you've been doing or learning.Self-reflection (反省) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By buing calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to look at the things it has already received. Some people prefer to do the self-reflection only in their mind. Others write notes.Either method works, depending on your own learning habits. Here are some tips on self-reflection in your study.Use natural breaks in your textbooks as chances to stop and reflect. School textbooks are often divided into chapters and units. This makes it easier for you to begin the process of self-reflection.Look for the times when you complete a unit of study in the subjects you are learning, such as math,social studies, science and art. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test or quiz.Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections. Sometimes just pausing(暂停) to think deeply allows your brain to make connections. Having lots of connections allows your brain to quickly retrieve_information when you need it again.Next, think about things that you are unsure of. For example, maybe you learned about a certain body system, but you're not sure how it works together with the other body systems. Maybe you learned a new way to solve a math problem, but you're not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.Self-reflection is a very important skill for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to reflect, try itnow.23.Why does the writer begin the passage with two questions?A.To ask readers for some tips about learning.B.To help readers get the main idea of the passage.C.To make readers interested in reading the passage.D.To get readers to think about things they are unsure of.24.How many tips on self-reflection are mentioned in the passage?A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six.25.What does the underlined word"retrieve"probably mean in paragraph 4?A.Store up.B.Get back.C.Look through.D.Pass down.26.What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage?A.To suggest a new learning skill to students.B.To show students the importance of learning.C.To introduce a new school subject to students.D.To describe a special learning experience to students.阅读理解Alaska is disappearing slowly, but surely. It is believed that since the 1950s, as much as 15%of Alaska's land area has disappeared. How can a whole Alaska be disappearing? The problem is that Alaska's glaciers are melting (融化).The state has more than 100,000 glaciers. These glaciers account for about75,000 square kilometers, or 5% of the state's area.According to a recent report by the US Geological Survey, 99%percent of Alaska's glaciers are diminishing (减少). This diminishing seems mainly because of the increase in global temperatures. Since the 1960s, the average year-round temperature has increased by almost 3℃. Besides, the average winter temperature has increased by over 6℃. Presently, an estimated 100 cubic kilometers of ice is disappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year. It may be even more in the near future.Another problem facing Alaska is its melting permafrost(冻土). Much of the land in Alaska used to be forever frozen or frozen for most of the year. Now, the melting permafrost is causing a number of problems for people living inAlaska. Roads and public poles are falling down. Also, the hard permafrost that prevented beaches from eroding (被侵蚀) during storms is now melting.People who live along Alaska's coasts are being forced to move away. For villages on small low islands, one terrible storm could wipe out the whole community.The melting permafrost and increasing temperatures are both influencing the forests of Alaska.As the permafrost under the forests melts, insects that normally do not turn up until the warmer seasons are appearing sooner. If something can't be done to change things, people will not see Alaska's forests at the end of the century.Some scientists believe that human activities have something to do with a global increase in weather temperature. Whatever the cause of rising temperatures may be, the fact remains that temperatures are warming, influencing Alaska for the worse. Terribly, this could be a pre view of what will happen to the rest of the world in the next century. 27.How does the writer show us the serious problem of Alaskan glaciers' disappearance?A.By using sayings.B.By listing numbers.C.By telling stories.D.By making comparisons.28.What do paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly talk about?A.The temperature in Alaska.B.The problems Alaska is faced with.C.The melting permafrost in Alaska.D.The people's living conditions in Alaska.29.What's the writer's attitude (态度) towards Alaskan glaciers' disappearance?A.Uncaring.B.Supportive.C.Hopeful.D.Worried.30.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A.Alaskan glaciers will surely never be seen in the near future.B.Alaska's forests will disappear soon because of the rising temperatures.C.The hard permafrost is quite important for villages on small low islands.D.Everyone believes that human activities are the main cause of rising temperatures.(本题有5小题,每小题2分;共计10分)阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A-E 五个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项) , 将其序号填入46-49题, 并完成第50题。

In recent years, technology companies have worked hard to speed up the use of driverless robotaxis and Baidu is one of the pioneers.②In June 2019, Baidu started to test its driverless taxis in certain areas in Changsha. In 2020, its Apollo Go robotaxis, also known as "Luobo Kuaipao" in Chinese, officially began its service in certain areas in Changsha, Cangzhou and Beijing. In March 2022, Beijing allowed Baidu to test fully driverless robotaxis on certain roads, which meant a further step forward. In June 2023, Baidu carried out its driverless taxi service in Shenzhen across an area of 188 km2 from 7 am to 10 pm daily.③Booking a ride on Apollo Go is as simple as a few taps on your phone screen. Passengers just need to tell the app Apollo Go or Baidu Map where they are and where to go. Then, a car will appear. With sensors (传感器) and cameras all over the car, a computer takes full control of the drive. A screen on the back seat shows customers the information of the ride and how the robotaxi "looks" at the space around to see other cars, humans, and anything else that might get in its way.④"The robotaxi goes at about the same speed, providing a good riding experience," a user posted online. By September 2023, the number of orders has reached four million. The user satisfaction rating for the Apollo Go app has reached 4.9 out of 5 and 97.12% of the reviews are five-star ratings. So far, Apollo Go robotaxi service has covered 11 cities and by 2025, it plans to test its robotaxis in other 65 cities.⑤However, safety is the key in the development of driverless robotaxis. In the future, Apollo Go and the other companies should take more time to improve the system in order to provide comfortable and safe rides. 4.What did Baidu work on according to the passage?A.Driverless taxis.B.Robotaxi sensors.C.Safety apps.D.Robotaxi Maps.5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.The risk of Apollo Go.B.The future of Apollo Go.C.The advantages of Apollo Go.D.The development of Apollo Go.6.How dose the writer show the popularity of Apollo Go in Paragraph 4?A.By telling a story.B.By doing experiments.C.By listing numbers.D.By giving examples.7.What can we learn about Apollo Go robotaxis from the passage?A.The robotaxi has caused a lot of traffic problems since it was put into use.B.People in Shenzhen could take a ride even at midnight in June 2023.C.Baidu will test Apollo Go robotaxi service all over the country by 2025.D.Passengers sitting on the back seats can know about their rides from a screen.阅读理解A particular picture especially touched me while reading news article about a tornado (龙卷风) just happened in a village around Florida. In the picture, a young woman with a worried face stood in front of an entirely destroyed mobile home. A small girl, three or four years old, stood at her side, clutching (攥紧) at her skirt and stared into the camera with a pair of eyes full of fear. At the end of the article, a telephone number was offered.This would be a good chance to teach my kid to help those in need. I showed the picture to my six-year-old daughter, Meghan, explaining what happened in the picture. "We have so much. But these poor people now have nothing," I said. "Let's share what we have with them."I brought a large box and placed it on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously as I filled the boxes with old clothes that we don't want any more. Then she left and soon came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She stopped in front of the box for a moment, gave the doll a final kiss, then put it gently on top of the clothes."Oh, Honey," I said. "You don't have to give away Lucy. You love her so much." Meghan nodded seriously, with held-back tears." ▲ ." Megan said.I stared at Meghan for a long moment and didn't know what to say. I suddenly realized that it's easy to give away things that we don't want, but harder to let go off things we value, isn't it? True generosity (慷慨) is a three-year-old girl offering her favorite dol to a little girl she doesn't know because she hopes it will bring this child as much pleasure as it brought her. The true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.I, who had wanted to teach, had been taught.8.What is the right order of the following events?a. My daughter gave away her doll.b. A tornado happened around Florida.c. I saw a picture on the newspaper.d. I filled the box with old clothes.e.

I don't want to give it to that girl.B.Lucy makes me happy. It can make that girl happy, too.C.I used to like Lucy, but I don't like it now because it's old.D.I have to give Lucy to her, because I have nothing else to give her.10.How does the mother probably feel about her daughter in the end?A.Worried.B.Excited.C.Sorry.D.Proud.11.What's the best title for the passage?A.A Kind Girl B.A Special DollC.A Valuable Lesson D.A Thankful Mother阅读理解①Most people know about endangered plants and animals. However, not everyone knows that many languages are in danger, too. Recently, there are almost 500 languages that are officially endangered. According to a study, 95% of the world's population only speak 6% of the existing 7,000 languages. This means that only 6% speak all the other languages. Some languages have fewer than a dozen speakers. There are several reasons why languages die out.②A key reason is the influence of the dominant (主导的) languages. Generally, these languages are connected with social background and education. People who move to cities are forced to learn them. In most cases, the children do not learn their native language. In addition, many communities far away from towns and cities give up their languages in order to become an accepted part of the main culture. For example, India has lost 220 of 780 languages in the last 50 years. Once Hindi was regarded as the official language of India, the number of Hindi speakers increased from 260 million to over 420 million.③Another reason is that the people who speak an endangered language may be in physical danger, such as from war or mas killing. Many languages of the native people in the Americas are either lost or endangered for this very reason. Natural disasters and disease can also wipe out all populations. When the village of Papua New Guinea was hit by an earthquake, all the people in it died. The language they spoke, Malol, also disappeared with them.④Languages are part of cultures and show differences. Losing a language means losing a way to pass on culture. The whole world suffers because of the disappearance of cultural and language diversity (多样性). Therefore, efforts need to be made to protect endangered languages before they disappear forever.12.Why does the writer use numbers in Paragraph 1?A.To show that many languages are in great danger.B.To support that there are many languages in the world.C.To prove that languages have changed in different places.D.To introduce how many languages are spoken in the world.13.What does the underlined phrase "wipe out" probably mean?A.Kill.B.Change.C.Hurt.D.Beat.14.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A.B.C.D.15.What's your advice on protecting endangered languages? (请用不超过30词回答)5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A一F六个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项)。

It is a window to the world, opening doors to countless possibilities and adventures. In today’s fast-paced society, where screens often dominate our free time, the importance of reading cannot be overstated.Alex, a teenage boy from Hangzhou, China’s Zhejiang Province, has found solace in books. Growing up in a city known for its beautiful scenery and rich cultural heritage, Alex often found himself surrounded by the hustle and bustle of modern life. However, when he picked up a book, it was likestepping into another world. From fantasy novels to historical biographies, Alex’s imagination soared as he explored different universes and learned about the lives of remarkable individuals.Reading not only provided Alex with escape from reality but also fueled his intellectual curiosity. He began to question the world around him, seeking answers in the pages of books. His teachers noticed a significant improvement in his critical thinking skills and writing abilities, attributing it to his avid reading habits.But the benefits of reading extend far beyond personal growth. In a recent study conducted in Hangzhou, it was found that students who read regularly performed better academically, particularly in English, as they developed a stronger vocabulary and improved their comprehension skills. This, in turn, helped them excel in other subjects as well.Furthermore, reading promotes empathy and understanding. By immersing themselves in stories of diverse characters and cultures, students like Alex gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of human experience. They learn to see the world from different perspectives, fostering a more tolerant and inclusive society.Questions:1.What is the main theme of the passage?A)The beauty of Hangzhou’s scenery.B)The benefits of reading for personal and academic growth.C)The life of a teenage boy named Alex.D)The negative effects of screens on modern society.Answer: BExplanation: The passage focuses on the many benefits of reading, both for personal development and academic achievement. It highlights how reading has positively impacted Alex’s life and cites a study showing its academic benefits.2.What motivated Alex to read?A)The desire to improve his grades.B)The need to escape from reality.C)His teachers’ encouragement.D)His parents’ insistence.Answer: BExplanation: The passage states that “Reading not only provided Alex with escape from reality but also fueled his intellectual curiosity.” This directly answers the question, indicating that Alex’s motivation for reading was to escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.3.How did reading improve Alex’s academic performance?A)By developing his social skills.B)By enhancing his physical health.C)By increasing his vocabulary and comprehension skills.D)By reducing his screen time.Answer: CExplanation: The passage mentions that in a study conducted in Hangzhou, students who read regularly performed better academically, particularly in English, “as they developed a stronger vocabulary and improved their comprehension skills.” Thisdirectly relates to how reading improved Alex’s academic performance.三、完型填空(15分)Passage Three: English Entrance Exam for Middle School in Hangzhou, ZhejiangProvinceSection Three: Cloze TestDirections: Read the following passage carefully.

And I think they could work together in a fun and eye-catching way. That will be the front. "I could see what Rafael 12.. Each piece was different and amazing in its own way—even mine.So, dear Not an Artist, I know it can feel disappointing when you start comparing 13.with other people. But please try not to 14.! There's no right or wrong way to make art. And since everybody has different styles and tastes, nobody has to agree about what makes a piece of 15.good.

Its celebration starts from the 23rd or 24th of the 12th lunar(农历) month. People always celebrate it in many traditional ways. Here're some little-known customs. Let's take a look at the following ones.Little New Year 23rd of the 12th lunar monthA Tight Sleep3rd day of the first lunarmonthBirthday of Humankind7th day of the first lunar month16.Who is the text written for?A.Children.B.Parents.C.Teachers.D.Culture experts.17.What can we learn according to the text?A.The traditions are all in the first lunar month except A Tight SleepB.People are advised to go to bed early on the third day of the first lunar month.C.Food, fruits and flowers are placed on the family altar on Birthday of Humankind.D.People climb mountains and write poems to admire the Jade Emperor on Little New Year. 18.In which column(栏目) of a magazine can we probably read the text?A.Travel.B.Sports.C.Culture.D.Business.阅读理解Do you have a good memory? Can you remember English words you learnt last week? Or have you forgotten the deadline of your project? Many of us often say "My brain doesn't work well". Maybe you can try a new way of training your brain—Learn with your team members."Teamwork makes our brains work better. The memory expert, Jonathan Hancock said, "Being part of a team has many advantages for remembering things."In his memory research, he finds that the participants(参与者) in a team always behave better than people who work independently. That's because they have less personal pressure, more time to think over each question.But there's even more going on according to Canadian researchers, who've shown that our brains get a natural improvement when they've got company(陪伴). Their study suggests two reasons. First, when we're with people who are trying to remember something, we can easily feel thattip-of-the-tongue feeling, so we also want to join in to challenge ourselves. Second, after knowing others can remember things well, we can be encouraged to make it too.To make better use of the power of team learning, you can use the contagion(传染效应) to awaken and improve memories. For example, go over new words together with your partners. Believe it or not, you'll be amazed at your magic memory. Also, you can share the duty together. If you have many tasks to remember, ask your partner to remember the date of school play while you're in charge of remembering project deadline. In this way, both of you willremember things more easily and deeply.19.How does Jonathan Hancock support his opinion in Paragraph2?A.By doing a research.B.By giving an example.C.By providing a form.D.By listing numbers.20.Which of the following situations matches "tip-of-the-tongue feeling" best?A.You bite your tongue and lose words.B.You lose the control of the tip of your tongue.C.You come up with an answer and express it quickly.D.You think of something but can't find a word to express it well.21.What is Paragraph4 mainly about?A.Ideas of learning English new words.B.Ways of sharing memory duty with partners.C.Advice on improving memories by teamwork.D.Research about remembering the deadline of project.22.What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce the results of some memory research.B.To encourage people to use their brains more often.C.To invite readers to take part in their research to train brains.D.To ask readers to make use of team work to improve memories.阅读理解A student project has discovered another power of AI: It can be good at locating(定位) where photos are taken.The project is called Predicting Image Geolocations(or PIGEON). It's the work of three Stanford students. They designed it in order to recognise locations on Google Street View(谷歌街景). The team showed the AI a few personal photos it had never seen before, it could tell where they were taken.PIGEON works well because it can pick upon all the little things in photos. It can notice small differences in leaves, soil and weather. The group says the technology can be used in many ways. It could recognise roads or power lines that need fixing. It may also help researchers do surveys of invasive(入侵的) plants in an area.However, this new power is likely to be a double-edged sword. It could be used to reveal people's private, personal information, says Jay Stanley, an expert at the American Civil Liberties Union.Stanley worries that companies might soon use AI to find out where you've traveled. Governments might check your photos to see if you've visited certain countries. Stalking (跟踪) is also a possible threat, he says. People have long been able to remove GPS location information from photos they post online. That may not work any more. Luckily, theStanford students are well aware of the risks. Because of these worries, they haven't given the public entry to their program.Stanley thinks the use of AI for identifying locations will become even more powerful in the future. What will that mean? Well, be very careful about what's in the background in the photos you post online, he says.23.What can PIGEON do according to the passage?A.It can tell where the photos were taken.B.It is able to tell who took the photos.C.It can tell which company made the power lines.D.It is able to tell the weather when photos were taken.24.What can we infer from the passage?A.Nobody is interested in the new project PIGEON.B.It's not safe enough for the public to use PIGEON.C.Only governments can check the countries we visited.D.The project PIGEON is widely used in many ways now.25.What is Stanley's advice on sending pictures online?A.Governments should help to stop using PIGEON.B.Teachers should teach students how to use PIGEON.C.Parents should stop their kids from sending photos online.D.Internet users should think twice before posting photos online.26.What's the best title for the passage?A.Locating Is an Easy Job NowB.Posting Photos on the InternetC.Three Famous Stanford StudentsD.AI Has Arrived at Your Locations阅读理解①There is really no reason for my writing the life of Su Tungpo except that I want to do it. For years, the writing of his biography(传记) has been at the back of my mind, but the regret is never quiet down. Now that I am able to apply myself to this task, I am happy, without any reasons.②A vivid personality isn't that easy to be understood. One might say that Su Tungpo was an unchangeable optimist(乐观主义者), a friend of the people, a prose master, an original painter, a great calligraphist, an experimenter in wine making, an engineer, a secretary to the emperor, a dissenter in politics, and a poet. And yet that might miss the sum total of why people like Su Tungpo. Su Tungpo's complex personality gives a reason. Always deeply stuck in politics, he was always greater than politics. Without trick and without purpose, he went along singing, composing, and criticizing, to express something he felt in his heart, paying no attention to what might be the results of himself. He wrote just because he enjoyed writing, and today we enjoy his writing just because he wrote so beautifully, generously, and out of the clearness of his heart.③As I try to find the reasons why for a thousand years in China each generation has a crowd of crazy admirers of this poet, I come to the second reason, which is the same as the first, stated in a different way. Su Tungpo had charm. The chief charm of Su Tungpo was a force of character (that could not be stopped by anyone), a force (that, started at the moment of his birth, had to run its course until death closed his mouth and stopped his laughing chatter). He wielded his pen almost as if it were a toy. He could be curious, or humorous or serious, very serious, and from his pen we hear various human emotions of joy, happiness, worry and love.④On the whole, we get the impression that he played and sang through life and enjoyed it greatly, and when sadness came and unluckiness fell, he accepted them with a smile. That is the kind of charm which I am trying to describe in my way and which has made him the favorite poet of so many Chinese experts.27.What does the underlined words "this task" in Paragraph1 refer to?A.read the life of Su Tungpo B.read Su Tungpo's poemsC.write the life of Su Tungpo D.write down Su Tungpo's poems28.What can we learn from the passage?A.Su Tungpo's works were all full of joy and love.B.Su Tungpo had a crowd of fans at home and abroad.C.Su Tungpo was good at many things except making wine.D.Su Tungpo always expressed himself without caring about the results.29.What's the meaning of the underlined word wielded in Paragraph3?A.Cut B.bought C.used D.broke30.What's the structure of the passage? (P① = paragraph ①)A.B.C.D.31.Which words can best describe Su Tungpo according to the passage?A.Beautiful and clear.B.Sad and changeable.C.Serious and unlucky.D.Optimistic and charming.15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)用方框中所给词语的适当形式填空。

I had been through many job interviews with no luck.One day, while doing my rounds through a suburban neighborhood I felt anger inside me and thought: “Why has my life become so hard?!”Immediately after this internal scream, I pulled the bus over to drop off a little girl. As shepassed she handed me an earring, saying I should keep it in case somebody claimed it. It had the words “BE HAPPY” painted on it.Yeah, yeah, I thought. Then it hit me. I had been focusing only on what was wrong with my life rather than what was right! I decided then to make a list of 50 things I was grateful for.At first, it was hard, then it got easier. One day I decided to list 75. That night I got a phone call from the manager of a large hospital. About a year earlier I had designed a college course on stress management. She asked me if I would do a one-day seminar for 200 hospital workers. I said yes and got the job.My day with the hospital workers was great. I got a standing ovation and many more days of work. I know that it was because I changed my attitude to gratitude.The day after I got the earring, the girl asked me if anyone had claimed it. I told her no and she said: “I guess it was meant for you then.”I spent the next year doing training workshops all around the Seattle area and then decided to risk everything and fly to Scotland.

And it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people,it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However,this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互动). Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day,they like to rest in shallow bays(浅湾). Many people think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe,so they may be sleeping even wh en they’re swimming in the water.From 2010 to 2013,spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of Hawaii’s Big Island appeared to human activities more than 82 percent of the time,according to Julian Tyne,a researcher at Australia’s Murdoch University.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less pleasant places where they may be attacked by sharks and other animals.Moreover,when people are around,dolphins become more active. Thus,they can’t get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population.” Ann Garrett of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service said.As a result,the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example,people may not be allowed to swim with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for signs to know when the dolphins are in their resting state.1.Which of the following about dolphins is NOT true?A.They keep half of their brain awake while sleepingB.They like to stay in shallow bays during the dayC.They spend most of their time sleeping at nightD.They may be sleeping even when they’re swimming2.When dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat,they ________.A.would swim to youB.could likely sleep longerC.could become less activeD.could move closer to danger3.The writer of the article mainly wants to________.A.introduce spinner dolphinsB.tell you different types of dolphinsC.ask you to swim with dolphinsD.advise you not to disturb dolphinsC15、I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone.Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neigh borhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty(收成)of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!1.According to paragraph 2, people wish they also had a garden so that_______.A.they didn’t have to spend so much money on foodB.they could grow vegetables and sell at the marketC.they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in itD.they could spend happy times together with their family in it2.For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden?A.To ask them to attend a birthday party.B.To help them get to know each other.C.To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.D.To ask them to share some interesting stories.3.What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?A.It was too long. B.It was wonderful.C.It was not as good as he thought. D.It was too terrible.D16、据材料内容选择最佳答案,将其标号填入题前括号内。

My dad chose a 16-milesection of the road for us to ride. Part of it included an old tunnel (隧道) called West Hill. This old tunnel is over a mile long!To prepare, we checked our tires (轮胎) and bike lights. My mom made us some food. She also gave us fruit and plenty of water. In the morning, we put our bikes into the car and set off.After a two-hour drive, we reached the road. It was a cool afternoon in early fall. But we were both wet and tired because our trip started with a long uphill climb! As we reached the West Hill Tunnel, I felt nervous as it was very dark inside! But my dad encouraged me. He said he would be right beside me. He reminded me to stay careful and keep my light on!When we entered the tunnel, the sound of our bikes echoed through the darkness. I turned on my flashlight and saw walls covered by drawings. The air smelled like wet mud (泥). And I feltlike I was being watched! I was pretty scared, but paying attention to following my dad helped me relax. After riding half-way through, I could see light coming from the other end of the tunnel. That gave me courage to keep going. And I was so happy to ride out into the bright afternoon!Whenever I go through hardships in life, I remember this trip. It reminds me that hope is always ahead of me. It turns on the light of hope in my heart, and it gives me courage to keep riding through life's dark tunnels.19.How did the writer and his father go through the tunnel?A.On foot.B.By bike.C.By bus.D.By car.20.Why did the writer feel nervous when he reached the tunnel?A.Because the tunnel was too long.B.Because the tunnel was too dark.C.The drawing on the walls in the tunnel.D.The light from the other end of the tunnel.21.What gave the writer courage to keep going in the tunnel?A.The sound of their bikes in the tunnel.B.The smell of the wet mud in the tunnel.C.The drawing on the walls in the tunnel.D.The light from the other end of the tunnel.22.Which is the right order about the changes of the writer's feelings?a.

According to a new survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 p. m. or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is needed. But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- tol2-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV."More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more chances to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones (荷尔蒙) not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p. m. Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota. changed the start time from 7:25 a. m. to 8:30 a. m. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the result.23.What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?A.American kids' sleeping habits.B.Teenagers' sleep-related illnessesC.Activities to stop sleeplessness.D.Ways to solve sleeping problems.24.How many hours of sleep do 1l-year-olds need every day?A.7 hours.B.8 hours.C.10 hours.D.18 hours.25.Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?A.Because they are influenced by certain body chemicals.B.Because they are excited by some bedtime activities.C.Because they are forced to do a lot of homework.D.Because they are allowed to go to school late.26.Where can we probably read this passage?A.In a news report.B.In a science fiction.C.In a fashion weekly.D.In a health magazine.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项①What does love mean to you? Is it that special feeling in your heart when you see someone you like? Is it the heartbeat you get when you hold hands? Love seems to be everywhere, and at some museums around the world, love is in the air all year round.②The Palazzo Filomela in Venice is better known as the Museum of Love. This museum was once the private home of a famous 16th-century singer. On the walls, you can see paintings of famous lovers, such as the god Cupid and his love, Psyche.③For many, love and chocolate go hand in hand, so a visit to the Chocolate Museum in Cologe, Germany, makes sense. There, visitors can learn about the history of Chocolate and watch chocolate bars being made. The museum also gives out chocolate cakes from a three-meter-high chocolate fountain (喷泉).④Love isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes things can go wrong, and Museum of Broken Relationships in Croatia is built to this. It has a collection of objects that people gave away from their failed relationships, and each one has a story that goes along with it. Visitors will see letters, photographs, dolls, and clothing from broken hearts all over the world.⑤On the brighter side, the Diamond Museum Amsterdam in Holland is the place to go when you're ready to take your love to the next level.

eastern Jin Dynasty.According to the legend,Wang Xizhioffered to write words on the fansfor an elder lady,who was trying to sell fans on the bridge,andimmediately,all the townspeople queued up to buy one.Once it wasfor villages to pass across,but later for tourists for recreationalpurposes.The Pujin BridgeIt was a pontoon bridge made of bamboo rope and was constantlyrepaired.As it was built on the Yellow River by the Qin Kingdom,itwas once called"River Bridge".It was not until Hundreds of yearslater,when Emperor Xuanzongof Tang Dynasty gave orders to replacethe bamboo ropes with iron chains,that its name was changed intowhat it is now.Though with strong iron chains,it was still a traditionalplank bridges for daily passing.The Travellers'BridgeIt was built in about282by Emperor Wudiof the western Jin Dynasty.As the first stone single-arch bridge in China's history,it was built nearthe capital city Luoyang,and it was called the"Travellers'Bridge".Unlike traditional rope or plank bridges,the arch was high enough toallow large boats to pass under.The Guangji BridgeIt was built in1171with countless large stones and was located outsidethe ancient city of Chaozhouin Guangdong province.Its name means"helping the people".The bridge was the gateway from Guangdong toFujian and Zhejiang in ancient times.It is now regarded by many as thefirst swing bridge in the world.The swing was for navigation and floodrelief.16.The bridges were made of stones EXCEPT____.A.River Bridge B.TishanBridgeC.Travellers'Bridge D.GuangjiBridge17.The earliest stone single-arch bridge was in great height for____.A.recreational purposes B.flood reliefC.daily passing D.water transportation18.We can read the passage from a(n)____.A.history book B.romance novelC.architecture(建筑)magazine D.news report阅读理解A few years ago,I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know.In the email,I jokingly invited everyone to come by for a"tour"ofthe new space.I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office,I saw a box on my desk.There was a note on it,saying,"Happy new office!"The person didn't sign it.I was so happy with that.I didn't feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me.In fact,I found myself thanking everyone in the office.It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day.The water was coming in.Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves.The owners were nowhere to be seen,so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose.When the couple who owned the chairs showed up,I couldn't help myself.I went over,pointed to the waves,and said,"A couple of hours ago,your chairs were out there.""Oh,thanks so much for pulling them in,"said the guy."We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.""Don't worry about it,"I said,as I walked away.Then these words came to my mind,"You have your reward(回报)."Then I realized when I went over to the couple,I was looking for something.If they hadn't shown anything after I told what I had done,it would have upset me.In our life,people who show their good deeds(行为)are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don't celebrate their generosity(慷慨).However,when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the othersknow,we do more than show kindness.We're just giving to communicate an invaluable message,"You're loved.You're important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return."19.How did the author feel when she saw the box?A.She wanted to find out who cared about her.B.She thought someone asked for something.C.She was thankful someone gave it secretly.D.She was afraid it was sent to her by mistake.20.What can we infer about the author when she was on the beach?A.She got angry at keeping moving the chairs.B.She didn't think the couple liked the chairs.C.She made what she did known to the couple.D.She was lucky to meet with a kind couple.21.What does the underlined word"resent"inParagraph6mean?A.Hate.B.Avoid.C.Worry.D.Argue.22.What does the author advise us to do through the text?A.Give without expecting anything in return.B.Show love to someone important to you.C.Show kindness to those who dislike you.D.Do what we can to help more people.阅读理解The teacher who did the most to encourage me was,as it happened,my aunt.She was Myrtle C.Manigault,the wife of my mother's brother Bill.She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden,New Jersey.During my childhood and youth,Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect(方面)of my potential(潜能),without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing;she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance;she taught me the basic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre—not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me.I had books at home,but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor,and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy&Mehitabel through her.Most importantly,perhaps,Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers,she suggested my name to the editor as a"youth columnist".My column,begun when I was fourteen,was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material,the discipline of meeting deadlines,and,after graduation from college six years later,a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her"favouriteniece".Like a diamond,she has reflected a bright,multifaceted(多面的)image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.23.Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood andyouth?A.She lent her some serious classics.B.She developed her taste for music.C.She discoveredher talent for dancing.D.She introduced her to adult plays.24.What does Archyand Mehitabel in Paragraph3probably refer to?A.A book ofgreat fun.B.A writer of high fame.C.A serious masterpiece.D.A heartbreaking play.25.Why did Aunt Myrtle recommended(推荐)the author to a newspaper editor?A.Because Aunt Myrtle wanted to develop the author'sabilities for writing.B.Because Aunt Myrtle wanted togive the author a chance to collect material.C.Because Aunt Myrtle wanted to encouragethe authorto joinin teenage socialactivities.D.Because Aunt Myrtle wanted tooffer the authora series of writing jobs.26.We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who____.A.trained pupils to be intelligent and well-organizedB.gave pupils confidence in exploring their potentialC.emphasized(强调)what was practical or possible for pupilsD.helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning阅读理解There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured(度量).The worker who gets a rise,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast(与...相反),the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts(路标)or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but the attitudes, feelings people have,and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process,the journey never really ends;thereare always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to face the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may"fail"at first.How do we see our ability to grow?Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so,we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we are slow to adapt(适应)change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more passive(被动)role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity(不安全)and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much,then we stop growing.We become trapped(困住)inside a shell(外壳)of our own making.27.Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?A.Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges.B.Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.C.Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris.D.Father's salary rose from5,000to7,000.28.For personal growth,the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT____.A.being curious about more changesB.being quick in self-adaptationC.having an open mind to new experiencesD.staying away from failures and challenges29.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.It is not so easy to measure personal growth.B.To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.C.There are only two ways to see a person's growth.D.If you are too shy to take any risks in life,you cannot grow up.30.The best title for this passage should be____.A.Facing New Challenges B.Growth—Product or ProcessC.Two Basic Ways of Growth D.Overcoming Internal Fears阅卷人三、任务型阅读:下面文章有五处需要添加小标题。

(共15小题,每小题2分,共计30分)得分阅读理解International Poetry CompetitionWorld Poetry Day is celebrated on21March.Its purpose is to improve people's ability to read,write,and teach poems all over the world.This year,the International Poetry Centre is holding a poetry competition to celebrate the festival!Thecompetition is open to all the poets aged18and over from all over the world,and they will be divided into two groups:Open Group(open to all the poets aged18and over)ESL Group(open to all the poets aged18and over who can write in English as a Second Language)The winners of each group will receive£1000.RULES:◇All the poems must be unpublished(未出版的)works.◇Poems will not be returned,so please keep a copy.◇The poem(s)must be created by the poet himself/herself◇Poems can be written on any proper subject.No subject on violence(暴力)or drugs(药物).The competition begins on3March,2024and ends on28August,2024.To enter the competition,please visit the Centre Shop to pay£5for each poem.Once the payment is made, please email the poem(s)to********************.Remember to mark Open or ESL in the top right-hand corner of the document(文档)to show which group to enter before emailing your poem(s).Questions about the competition can be emailed to********************.1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.The competition is celebrated on21May.B.Any poets aged18and over can enter ESL Group.C.You can attend the competition without paying.D.You should mark your group on the document.2.Which of the following poems can attend the competition?A.A poem about friendship,written by a9-year-old boy.B.A poem copied from a magazine,which is really excellent.C.A poem which tells us how to keep away from drugs.D.A poem about success,written by an old college teacher.3.Which part of a magazine is the text taken from?A.Culture.B.Sports.C.Health.D.Science.阅读理解Jordyn Perez was about to turn8years old when her mom suggested a new way to celebrate her birthday."How about giving away your gifts to a children's hospital?"her mom said.Jordyn thought about the idea.She already had everything she needed,and these kids in hospital were going through some difficulties.They probably needed gifts more than she did."Okay,that sounds cool,"she finally said.Now a student in high school,Jordyn continues to bring joy to kids with serious illnesses.This year,she has made her eighth yearly birthday-gift donation(捐赠)to Baptist Children's Hospital in San Antonio.Kids can be in the hospital for lots of reasons.In the US,asthma(哮喘)is a top reason for younger children. Whatever the patient's age or illness,a hospital stay can be stressful.Efforts like Jordyn's are sunshine during a difficult time.Jordyn's gift-giving project begins each year in November.When she sends her friends invitations to her birthday party,she includes a list of gift ideas for kids at the hospital.For the youngest patients,gifts might include building blocks or toy trains."And for the teenagers,"Jordyn says,"it might be nail polish or books."Natalie Gutierrez,a worker at Baptist Children's Hospital,has seen the influence of Jordyn's gift-giving."She puts smiles on the faces of these young patients in our hospital and on our nurses,"Gutierrez says."They are all amazed at her beneficence at such a young age."Jordyn's efforts to help kids in the hospital have influenced others a lot.Friends have given away gifts for theirbirthdays too.And Jordyn says her11-year-old twin sisters help animals at the Humane Society."Giving to others,it's just a good feeling to have at the end of the day,"Jordyn says."I want to keep doing this as long as I can."4.Which paragraph tells us the meaning of Jordyn's action?A.Paragraph1.B.Paragraph2.C.Paragraph3.D.Paragraph4.5.What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?A.Jordyn is15years old now.B.Jordyn was cool in the past.C.Jordyn didn't like her gifts at all.D.Jordyn refused to give away gifts at first.6.What does the underlined word"beneficence"in Paragraph6probably mean?A.Courage.B.Kindness.C.Popularity.D.Independence. 7.Which could be the best title for the passage?A.Begin Early,Succeed Early B.Think Often,Practice OftenC.Do Good,Feel Good D.Smile Much,Achieve Much阅读理解In1993,Swedish psychologist(心理学家)K.Anders Ericsson set out to find the secret to turning a typical teen into a violin master.His answer?Practice:10,000hours of it.The reporter and writer Malcolm Gladwell even described it as"the magic number of greatness"in his2008book Outliers.The idea of"practice makes perfect"has been drilled(灌输)into the heads of youths since the Roman period. Anyone can be the next Albert Einstein,Kobe Bryant,or Taylor Swift as long as they can spend enough time doing the same thing.But can it be that simple?Not every expert agrees.While training is necessary to learning,spending much of your life trying something over and over doesn't mean you'll go professional,says Zach Hambrick,a psychologist at Michigan State University.Being great isn't just about the quantity of work,he says,but also about the workers themselves.In reviewing different studies about the role of practice in music,games,sports,education,and professional success,Hambrick found that practicing time makes only about one-quarter of any noticeable(显而易见的)difference.Other reasons—like age,intelligence,and natural gifts—all played big roles in setting apart the better from the best.Genes(基因)mainly shape physical abilities and our mind.Height might be necessary for a basketball star,and a good voice could help you take the lead in singing.And no practice will make you taller or able to hit notes across every octave(八度).Plenty of piano playing will not make your fingers grow longer.Of course,this doesn't mean we should all give up practicing,Hamorick says.Nobody is a born dancer or singer.But perfection in10,000hours?That is not sure.8.What can we learn from Paragraph2&3?A.We can surely succeed if we keep trying.B.We may not succeed although we try a lot.C.We should always keep trying no matter what happens.D.We must give up all kinds of practice if we don't succeed.9.What does the underlined word"quantity"in Paragraph3probably mean?A.how much you work B.how often you workC.how fast you work D.how you work10.How does the writer develop Paragraph4?A.By listing numbers.B.By comparing facts.C.By telling stories.D.By giving examples.11.What's the main purpose of the passage?A.To warn readers to do more practice.B.To advise readers to depend on genes.C.To remind readers not to do much practice.D.To lead readers to rethink the meaning of practice.阅读理解What might two dogs making radio programs look like?How about a bicycle race with different sea animals as competitors?With Sora,you may soon be able to find out.The latest AI model can create videos up to a minute long from text prompts(提示词)in seconds.It was built by Open AI,the company behind the popular chatbot Chat GPT.Its CEO Sam Altman announced Sora's creation on February16.Sora hasn't been made available to the public yet.Open AI is asking experts to test it for possible risks.The model is also open to a small group of artists.The company hopes their advice will help make Sora better.Before Sora,the leading text-to-video AI model was one made by Runway.Its system,Gen-2,came out in March 2023.The videos it produced were short and often scary.So most people were surprised by the high quality of Sora's videos.At present,Sora model isn't perfect,however,as it may not understand cause and effect(因果)."For example,a person might take a bite out of a cookie,but after that,the cookie may not have a bite mark,"Open AI says on its website.Sora may also mistake spatial(空间)details,like mixing up left and right.In a video on the Open AI website,a man is seen running on a treadmill(跑步机)in the opposite direction.At the same time,some people haveother worries.They fear that AI-generated content could be misused.The Global Risks Report2024listed AI-generated misinformation as the biggest risk facing the world this year.In response,Open AI said that it's also building tools to let users know if a video was produced by Sora.Whatever the worries,with the development of technology,Sora could go much farther than we think.12.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph3refer to?A.Open AI.B.Runway.C.Sora.D.Chat GPT.13.What can we learn about Sora from the passage?A.Sora can create videos without any prompts.B.Sora and Chat GPT are from different companies.C.Sora has already been open to the public.D.Sora can produce high quality videos.14.What are the disadvantages of Sora?a.Sora may not understand cause and effect.b.Sora might take a bite out of a cookie.c.Sora can mistake spatial details.d.Sora-generated content could be misused.A.abc.B.acd.C.bcd.D.abd.15.How might the writer feel about the future of Sora?A.Worried.B.Proud.C.Hopeful.D.Doubtful.阅卷人二、第二部分,阅读理解,第二节(共4小题,第31—33小题每小题2分,第34小题4分,共计10分)得分阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A—D四个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项.........).,将其序号填入第1-3小题,并回答4题。

One morning, I met an old man, a bum, on the street corner. He asked me if I was running away from home. I told him, “Not exactly, sir, because my father had given me a ride to the train station and said, “ It is important to follow your dream, son.”After talking for a while, he told me that he had something to show me and share with me. We walked several blocks until we reached a public library.The bum asked me to sit down and wait for a moment. Later he returned with some old books and sat beside me. Then he said, “There are two things that I want to teach you, young man. Number one is to never judge a book by its cov er, for a cover can fool you. I’ll bet you think I’m a bum, don’t you?” I said, “I guess so, sir.”“Well, young man, I've got a little surprise for you. I am one of the richest men in the world. But a year ago, when my wife passed away, I realized there were certain thingsI had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to live like a bum on the streets. For the past year I have been going from city to city doing just that. Number two is to learn how to read, for there is only o ne thing that people can’t take away from you, and that is your wisdom(智慧). ”At that moment, he gave me the books he’d pulled from the shelves.The bum took me back to the street where we first met. He asked me never to forget what he taught me when we left each other.34. The boy________________ when he was 14.A .liked running B. left schoolC. did well in studyD. traveled around the world35.

The bum’s hope was to have different kinds of experiences in life.D. The writer’s father supported his choice of following his dream.37. The best title of this passage probably is __________.A. Follow Your DreamB. an Important LessonC. Never Judge a Book by Its CoverD. Wisdom is ImportantCIn the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill.He had been attacked by a sick dog that had rabies(狂犬病), a verydangerous disease. His doctor tried to help him, but there was nocure for rabies at that time. The doctor told Joseph’s parents thatperhaps there was one man who could save Joseph’s life. His namewas Louis Pasteur.When Pasteur was young, he was especially interested in medicine,so he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师)who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day. Pasteur decided that one day he would help people, too.As a school boy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked the same way. In fact, he was not a slow learner, but a very intelligent young man. He became a college professor and scientist, and he continued to work very carefully.Because of Past eur’s patience, he was able to make man y observations and germs (细菌). Pasteur was studying about the germs that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed that he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he never gave it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph, but the doctor said the child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种)every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people and also studied the way to prevent diseases. On September 28, 1895,Louis Pasteur passed away. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.38. According to the passage, young Louis ______.A. was badly hurt by a dogB. was very interested in medicineC. made a living by working for a chemistD. had been thought highly of his teachers39. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Louis Pasteur_____.A. was always patientB. was clever but proudC. was a slow learnerD. was a humorous professor40. The underlined word “it ”in Paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.A. the sick dogB. the medical treatment for rabiesC. the germD. the poor child41. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Germs and DiseasesB. Rabies: a Terrible DiseaseC. The Earliest ChemistD. Louis Pasteur: a Great ScientistDLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access(入口) to the Internet. Besides, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable(可行的). As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. Besides, the portable(手提的) computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."42. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _____.A. use for their schoolworkB. access the InternetC. work at homeD. connect them to libraries43.Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?A. They don't really talk.B. They use the computer language.C. Laptops have speakers.D. None of the above reasons is correct.44. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B. 1500 students have laptops.C. It is an old college in America.D. Students there can do everything.45.What can we infer(推断) from the passage?A. The program is successfulB. The program is not workable.C. The program is too expensive.D. We don't know the result yet.卷II四、词汇运用(本题有15小题,每小题1分,共15分)A.用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空,每词仅用一次(每空一词)。
