Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink. Chris, 64, said, “It was a wonderful experience, particularly wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way.”4.What’s the couple’s purpose of taking the long journey?A.To try something new.B.To break the world record.C.

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

I went climbing with a millennial(千禧一代).She is younger, fitter, braver and more energetic. I am good at getting discouraged, having a rest and giving advice from the sidelines. She will cling(附着于)on to a wall like a small monkey trying to escape certain death, while I will get near the top, realize how high that is and lose my nerve. Together we could make an impressive(感人的;令人钦佩的) team, me at the bottom of the wall, going, "That's great, try using your feet one by one. Oh...What did you do that for?" And her going, "Shall we try that again so we've actually done it? Do you think we should have warmed up first?"Climbing muscles, being the same as regular muscles, are use-it-or-lose-it. I climbed more often before I did the crazy running activity and used to think of the green runs at my local center as being for children, or for a warm-up. Now I find them extremely hard, and the purple is my top-of-the-tree, when in fact they are both for beginners, really. I suspect the millennial of avoiding the blue-with-red-spots just so as to not show me up.It wasn't her first time climbing, but she wasn't registered at the center, so she had to go through a process that sounds threatening: watching a video and answering questions on it (the answers are always "I am responsible for my own safety in the center" and Holds may spin"). In an older person-me, for instance-any activity that starts with a reflection on your own death is a little low-energy, whereas she seemed quite excited by it.We both laughed at each other's clothing: she accused me of having, a pink T-shirt which seemed too lovely for me, while she was dressed to be a labourer. The moral is that you can basically wear anything while you climb. It's not like running, where the ill-dressed are chased from the area by a thousand eyes.1. We learn from Paragraph 1 that the author and the millennial .A.know each other very well B.try to learn how to escape deathC.form a sharp contrast D.make a team that beats others2. By “climbing muscles, being the same as regular muscles, are use-it-or-lose-it” the author means______.A.climbing does good to musclesB.climbing needs practicing regularlyC.climbing muscles are as useful as other musclesD.climbing muscles won’t be lost even if not used3. The question the millennial was required to answer were admitted to .A.let the climbers realize the climbing might be dangerousB.give the climbers another approach to think of deathC.warn the climbers against loss of energy in the processD.remind the climbers of the importance of registration4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.Climbers need to wear special clothes.B.Ill-dressed runners stand out improperly.C.Climbers need to get a certificate before climbing.D.The author and millennial like making fun of others.3. In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t, pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.1. People will feel happy, according to the author's findings, when __________.A.they offer their help to others B.they receive others’ helpC.they feel others’ kindness to them D.they show their weakness to other people 2. Why does the author feel sad sometimes?A.Because he has a soft heart, showing sympathy to others.B.Because he is disabled and relies much on others.C.Because some people pretend to be kind, but in fact they are not.D.Because some people fail to see the kindness in others.3. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A.They sped up to pass because they didn’t want to wait.B.They stopped their cars to offer help.C.丁hey put on their flashlights too.D.They waited with patience.4. In this passage, the author advises us to _________.A.be independent of others and handle problems by ourselvesB.accept help from others for everythingC.admit our weaknessD.show our bravery4. Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because "it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture. " Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.In cities, “you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space," says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments," A rlotta said. “ Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best. "Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. ”My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need. " She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. “This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets,food trucks, and then you recycle. "1. What do we know about the rooftop gardens?A.Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.B.There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.C.They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.D.Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A.Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.B.Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.C.Some univercity students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.D.The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.3. How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?A.Confident.B.Doubtful.C.Worried.D.Ambiguous.4. What is the best title for the text?A.Rainwater Necessity for Plant LifeB.Green Roofs-The Future of Urban AgricultureC.The United States' Agriculture ProgramD.Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise5. Last week the electricity in my flat went out. 1 My typical evening is spent watching TV and scrolling (滚动) through social media. Tonight this wasn’t possible. My roommate and I weren’t prepared with candles and matches. We just rely on electricity.So for me it was an early night, 2 That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity, as basic as running water. But really, electricity is a luxury that we’ve grown to take for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary.3 And as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them.4 It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, we will soon run out of it.How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function. 5 So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer. And if everyone does it, we can make a big difference.6. On a raining day, I wen t to buy some aspirin.

安徽省合肥市六校2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.Danyang-Kunshan Grand BridgeNo bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China operates as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.Rio-Niteroi BridgeCompleted in 1974,the Rio-Niteroi Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niteroi across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niteroi Bridge is technically known as a "box-girder(箱形梁)" bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more)vehicles per day.Hartland Covered BridgeThe Hartland Covered Bridge is the world's longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada's list of National Historic Sites since 1980.Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.Jiaozhou Bay BridgeThe newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named "world's longest bridge over water" by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011,a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of "longest continuous bridge over water" was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of "longest bridge over water".1.On which of the following can trains pass?A.Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.B.Rio-Niteroi Bridge.C.Hartland Covered Bridge.D.Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.2.What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge?A.It is a busy bridge.B.It was once built.C.It has a roof.D.It is a wooden bridge.3.Where can you find the longest bridge over water?A.In America.B.In Brazil.C.In Canada.D.In China.I fell into love with shopping at the age of 10. After a short time being just a buyer, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that I no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account (账户).On December 9, 2022, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a resale (零售) shop. I went around to the garage sale (旧货出售处) and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices.Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell any of her things for her to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month I made over $1,500 for her! She was so thankful for all of my help.I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it.4.At first, __________ helped her make money by selling things.A. the girl’s fatherB. the girl’s motherC. the girl’s teacherD. a single lady5.The writer went to the garage sale to __________.A. meet single ladiesB. buy things for her resale shopC. help othersD. sell things she no longer needed6.The author decided to help the lady sell her things because __________.A. the lady’s items were niceB. the lady’s items were of good qualityC. the lady lived a hard lifeD. the lady asked the author for help7.The lady felt so __________for what the author had done for her.A. disappointedB. amazedC. proudD. appreciativeMy husband Wu and I ,together with our two dogs, have spent several years living in an RV (野营车) — calling it home and driving it all around China.Wu and I had just sold our house outside of Hefei, Anhui and moved to a town in Yunnan. Though we enjoyed our new place, we were traveling back home for visits often. So at first the RV was intended for traveling in comfort: We could save money on hotels, travel at a more relaxed pace, avoid packing (打包行李) and unpacking, and be able to take our dogs with us. Plus, my husband had always wanted one.We bought the first RV in July 2020 and by September of that year we were already considering living in it full time. Wu and I love traveling and being “location independent,” and our jobs allow us to work from anywhere. At first it did seem strange to live on the road, but once we officially made the decision, in February 2023, we never looked back.I absolutely love living in an RV, so my list of “advantages” is long. I love being able to park my home right next to the best biking trails (小路), change the view from the windows, follow the good weather, and explore unusual destinations (目的地).The biggest “disadvantage” is the planning. That’s necessary. You do have to plan ahead where you are going to park because sometimes places are full. As a full-time traveler, you are often planning, moving, and trying new things. So once you arrive somewhere, it’s nice to stay a while and just sit still. That’s why I suggest that RVers park their RV ev ery once in a while, or move a little slower.8.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author and her husband?A. How they went on holiday in an RV.B. Where they traveled in their RV.C. Why they bought their first RV.D. How they gave up their house to get an RV. 9.What did the author and her husband do in February 2023?A. They moved to a new city and found new jobs.B. They sold their first RV.C. They rebuilt their house in Yunnan.D. They began living in their RV full time.10.What does the author think of her lifestyle?A. It is busy and challenging.B. It is comfortable and satisfying.C. It still needs some changes.D. It has made her more independent. 11.What does the author suggest RVers do?A. Slow down and relax on the road.B. Head for thinly populated places.C. Try new types of RVsD. Avoid making many plans ahead.Finland’s education system is considered one of the best in the world. Finland(芬兰) is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singaporeand South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?Until the 1960s Finland’s school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private (私人的) schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to reform and modernize (使现代化) their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive.Most of Finland’s schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries.Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate (比率) in the European Union.12.What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s?A. They encouraged students to go to private school.B. They lengthened preschool education.C. They reformed the school system.D. They learned modern education from neighboring countries.13.We can learn from the text that ________.A. the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of sixB. the children in Finland are educated equallyC. the school system in Finland is better than that in SingaporeD. the school equipment in Finland doesn’t meet international standards14.The author mentions Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea to show ________.A. the school system in Finland has been very successfulB. Asian countries are successful in school educationC. students in these places are better than those in European countriesD. the educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world15.What can be the best title for the text?A. What Differences European Schools HaveB. Why Finland’s School System Has ChangedC. What Good Schools Provide Students WithD. Why Finland’s School System Is Successful二、七选五16.Being Positive Is A ChoiceAs we all know, no job is always ideal and we often face obstacles that can impact our mood at work. ①_____ but I think that being a positive person is a choice we can make.

Which part of a website is the text probably chosen from?A.Education. B.Politics. C.Business. D.Art.This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to repair the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have an empty space between the wooden walls. When pulling down the walls, he found that there was a lizard (蜥蜴) staying there because a nail (钉子) from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It had been in a dark wall partition (夹层) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step — since its foot was nailed!

Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool.However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.12. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A.Blue, violet and green. B.Yellow, green and violet.C.Black, blue and red . D.Brown, white and orange.13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Sociable people like warm colors.B.Cool colors can make people relaxed.C.People who like to be spend time alone don’t like blue.D.Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.14. Which is the right color for different rooms?A.Red or orange for offices. B.Orange for dining-rooms.C.Blue for bedrooms. D.Red for factories.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Two Groups of Colors. B.Sociable People Like Warm Colors.C.Places and Colors . D.Colors and People.Ussery started driving 20 years ago and now transports more than 35 special-needs students from the Metro School area.

But it was something he never really enjoyed.He was attracted by the beauty of the British countryside.He sold more paintings in France than in his home country,England,at first.But when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad,he said he would rather“be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad.”Constable died in1837.During his lifetime he got little praise in his home country for painting countryside scenery.Yet he is now considered to be one of the greatest British artists.24.John Constable studied painting because____________.A.he was interested in itB.his parents hoped he would study itC.he wanted to make more moneyD.He liked the Royal Academy school25.At the Royal Academy,John Constable__________.A.wasn’t a good studentB.didn't get on well with his classmatesC.was very hardworkingD.became very famous26.What do we know about John Constable?A.He thought technique was the most important in art painting.B.His paintings sold better in France than in England at first.C.He was interested in drawing portraits.D.He became very rich by painting.27.What can we learn from the underlined sentence?A.John Constable was willing to travel to France.B.John Constable was tired of being poor.C.John Constable didn't want to sell his paintings.D.John Constable loved his country very much.CThere was a man playing the piano in a bar.He was a good piano player and always performed in thisbar.People came in just to hear him play.But one night,a customer told him that he didn't want to hear him just play the piano any more.He wanted him to sing a song.The man said,"I don't sing."But the customer was persistent(执着的).He told the bar manager,"I'm tired of listening to the piano.I want that man to sing!"The manager shouted across the room,"If you want to get paid,sing a song.Our customers are asking you to sing!"So he did,He sang a song.A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time.And everyone was surprised by his song Mona Lisa.He got lots of applause(掌声)that night.He had such a talent for singing,but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years!If without such a chance,he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar.However, now he has become one of the best known singers in America.You,too,have skills and abilities.Maybe your"talent"is not as great as the singer above,but it may be better than you think!And with effort,most skills can be improved.So,in your life,you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!28.Why did the man start to sing?A.Because he wanted to make more money.B.Because the bar manager said he liked his song.C.Because he wanted to show everyone that he had a talent for singing.D.Because the manager asked him to sing at the request of a customer.29.What do you think of the bar manager?A.Strict.B.KindC.Patient.D.Rude.30.Which of the following is TRUE about the piano player?A.He hated singing in a no-name bar.B.He didn’t discover his talent before a customer asked him to sing.C.He became very famous as a pianist and singer in America.D.He lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player.31.What would be the best title for the text?A.How to Have Great Ability.B.A Nice Song-Mona,Mona Lisa.C.A Singer in a No-Name Bar.D.Make Full Use of Your Talent.DAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,are people remembering less?If you know your computer will save information,why store it in your own personal memory,your brain?Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study,Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments.She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment,they gave people40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information.The second group understood that the computer would not save ter,the secondgroup remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹).Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location(位置)better than the facts.When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information.Rather,they remember how to find it.This is called"transactive memory (交互记忆)".According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead,computer users are developing stronger transactive memories;that is,people are learning how to organize much information so that they are able to access it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.32.The passage begins with two questions to______.A.introduce the main topicB.show the author's attitudeC.describe how to use the InternetD.explain how to store information33.What can we learn about the first experiment?A.Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.C.The first group did not try to remember the information.D.The second group did not understand the information.34.In transactive memory,people______.A.keep the information in mindB.change the quantity of informationanize information like a computerD.remember how to find the information35.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?A.We are using memory differently.B.We are becoming more intelligent.C.We have poorer memories than before.D.We need a better way to access information.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
