It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better? We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.24.What do we know about Anne of Green Gables?A.It is a recent release.B.It covers real events.C.It is a timeless classic.D.It features world history.25.What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3?A.She is true to herself.B.She achieves her goal.C.She is talented in drawing.D.She cares about others.26.Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19?A.Time waits for no man.B.Do one thing at a time.C.Fortune favours the brave.D.Stop and smell the roses.27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To tell a story.B.To remember a writer.C.To teach a lesson.D.To recommend a book.Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible? Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers.In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”28.What does the robot do?A.Plant new tulips.B.Clear troubled bulbs.C.Kill deadly virus.D.Harvest grown flowers.29.What can we infer from Visser’s words?A.He dreams of a sports car.B.Tulip fields are low in production.C.The robot is worth the cost.D.Farmers lack technical knowledge. 30.What is the key to making the robots work effectively?A.GPS systems.B.High-tech cameras.C.Daily training.D.Human knowledge.31.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip FarmingB.Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging FarmersC.Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the NetherlandsD.Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip BusinessesParents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them towin. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.32.What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Make sense.B.Face doubts.C.Bring relief.D.Start debates.33.What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior?A.Inability to tell right from wrong.B.A sense of satisfaction.C.Eagerness to follow their friends.D.Lack of social experience.34.How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study?A.It starts fights between them.B.It inspires them to question.C.It weakens their independence.D.It helps them to learn better.35.What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom?A.Conduct group discussion.B.Improve time management.C.Encourage personal opinions.D.Develop decision-making skills.Standing at the top of a staircase in the Louvre in Paris, the Nike, or the Winged Victory (胜利女神), looks down over her admiring crowds. This statue is one of the most famous artworks of Greek art. 36 Later it was brought to Paris and has been on display in the Louvre since 1866.The Nike consists of two parts: a large ship’s front part, and a standing statue with a totalheight of more than eighteen feet. It looks like the Winged Victory has just flown down from the sky. 37 The wind blows her dress across her body, gathering it in heavy folds, and streaming behind her. When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea.38The statue, as it stands today in the Louvre, has been partly repaired. The right wing is a modern copy, but the missing feet, arms, and head have not been recovered, giving viewers much to imagine. For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands? In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. 39 She must have simply raised her right arm in greeting. Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face.40 As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before.A.This means that she cannot have held any object.B.The Nike is in charge of victory in ancient Greek stories.C.It was found on a Greek island in the Aegean sea in 1863.D.This statue was made by artists who left no names in history.E.It’s hard for them to believe such a lifelike statue is made of stone.F.Landing on top of the ship, she celebrates the victory of an ancient battle.G.Despite its incomplete survival, the Winged Victory is truly a masterpiece.三、完形填空Jason Smith is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could 41 read.Jason and his three sisters were raised by a single mother, and she often had to make 42 choices about how to use their limited resources—including a 43 to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Jason at home.Years later, when Jason finally went to school, he couldn’t spell his name and 44 to read simple words, which made him feel 45 .

江西省上进联考2023-2024学年高一下学期期末调研检测英语
江西省上进联考2023-2024学年高一下学期期末调研检测英语一、阅读理解Thailand’s four train journeysIf you’re not in a rush, you can take trains to travel around Thailand. Here are the four best train journeys in the country.Mahachai LineStart: Thonburi; End: Samut SongkhramStart at Thonburi’s Wongwian Yai train station, just across the Chao Phraya River from Bangkok. From the window, you can see homes, temples, shops, palm trees and rice fields. The farmland disappears as you enter Samut Sakhon. After getting off and walking through a busy fresh market, you’ll reach a harbor (港口).Death RailwayStart: Thonburi; End: Nam TokBuilt in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line. A total of 688 bridges were built along the route (路线). The trains that run the Death Railway are 3rd-class, meaning they have no air-conditioners and mostly wooden benches. It’s a tourist line, so there’re stops for short visits to historical sites and a cave.Beach TrainStart: Bangkok; End: Hua HinThis route skirts around the Gulf of Thailand. Your destination, Hua Hin, is Thailand’s original beach resort (旅游胜地). The central attraction of the route is Hua Hin’s red-and-white train station, which was built in 1926. The train is largely responsible for Hua Hin’s wealth; therefore, the station is a major source of pride.Train to LaosStart: Bangkok; End: ThanalengStarting from Bangkok in the afternoon, this route crosses the Mekong River into Laos. In the morning, with warm sunlight streaming into your bed, you’ll pass by the tiny villages and seemingly endless rice fields. After a stop in Nong Khai, you’ll cross the so-called FriendshipBridge to Laos.1.What can be learned about Mahachai Line?A.Its destination is a busy fresh market.B.It is the shortest tourist line in Thailand.C.It provides you with good views along the line.D.Its starting station is a popular tourist attraction.2.What do Death Railway and Beach Train have in common?A.They allow you to enjoy sea views.B.They can give you a sense of history.C.They make you experience the local life.D.They stop for a few moments at historical sites.3.Which is the destination for Train to Laos?A.Bangkok.B.Nong Khai.C.Hua Hin.D.Thanaleng.A group of foreigners visited Weihai, a coastal city, to explore what the rising star in China’s tourism market can offer.Driven by social media and short video platforms, Weihai’s tourism industry saw a huge growth, with the city of just 2.92 million residents welcoming over 59 million visits.Their first stop is the Dongchu Island in Rongcheng, a county-level city in Weihai, where the scenery is characterized by the region’s unique seaweed-roofed houses.“I’ve never seen a roof made of seaweed. I can’t believe my eyes at the houses,” said Nick Ive, a British editor.The group then visited the Sanggou Bay Marine Ranch (海洋牧场), a hot family-friendly tourist destination to experience marine farming. “Visiting Sanggou Bay Marine Ranch was a pleasant experience because I could see and experience firsthand how the sea fishes are kept,” said Desca LydiaNatalia, a journalist with Antara, Indonesia’s national news agency. “This experience not only increased my understanding but also provided enjoyment, as I could directly eat clams (蛤蜊) freshly harvested from the sea. I even had the opportunity to feed the seagulls.”Sanggou Bay Marine Ranch receives about 80,000 visitors every year since it was established in 2015. Visiting the marine ranch has become one of the must-dos in Weihai.Desca said that her favorite experience was living in a homestay in Weihai. “While stayingin a hotel is comfortable, a homestay offers a different experience, especially since the yard is large and full of flowers, making it feel like home. So I chose a homestay,” said the Indonesian journalist. The homestay Decca chose is just a stone’s throw away from the beach. Desca said that her country is a maritime country and also has many homestays. “So when I stayed in the homestay, the atmosphere reminded me of Indonesia,” she added.4.What contributes to Weihai’s growing tourism industry?A.Social media.B.Visits of foreigners.C.Friendly residents.D.Beautiful scenery.5.How did Nick Ive feel about the seaweed-roofed houses?A.Grateful.B.Frightened.C.Fortunate.D.Surprised. 6.What did Decca do at the Sanggou Bay Marine Ranch?A.She kept sea fishes.B.She fed seagulls.C.She harvested clams.D.She surfed in the sea.7.Why did Decca choose the homestay?A.It felt like her home.B.It was near the beach.C.Its yard was small and neat.D.Its living conditions were super.Blonde chocolate is not as popular as milk, dark, and white chocolate, but it has already been known as one of the most wonderful variations (变种) of white chocolate ever created.The history of blonde chocolate can date back to the year 2004 when French chef Frederic Bau was busy showing off his skills during an exhibition in Japan. He was so absorbed in his show that he left his white chocolate melting in a bain-marie (蒸锅) for four days. When he finally got back to it, the chocolate had become pale brown and had a very special smell and taste. Frederic quickly came to realize the potential of his discovery, and blonde chocolate was born.He knew he was on his way to something when he tasted blonde chocolate for the first time. However, because the treat was technically the result of an accident, there was no way to produce the result again, at least not immediately. The French chef spent the next seven years experimenting and perfecting the process, to make sure that he produced the best blonde chocolateevery time.Since 2012, blonde chocolate has been sold by French chocolater Vlrhona under the name Dulcey, but even though it has made quite an impression on the experts in the years since, blonde chocolate is still not a mainstream (主流的) dessert. That is mainly because French lawmakers refuse to recognize the sweet treat as a fourth type of chocolate. Instead, they recognize it a variation of white chocolate.Blonde chocolate shares a similar story with another unique dessert, Ruby chocolate, the naturally pink chocolate made with Ruby cocoa beans. In 2017, it was called “the biggest innovation in chocolate in 80 years”. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the future of blonde chocolate.8.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A.The origin of blonde chocolate.B.The design of blonde chocolate.C.The importance of blonde chocolate.D.The process of making blonde chocolate. 9.Why do people seldom choose blonde chocolate as a mainstream dessert?A.It is refused by most of French experts.B.It is not as delicious as other sweet treat.C.It is not warmly welcomed by young people.D.It is recognized as a variation of white chocolate.10.Why does the author mention Ruby chocolate in the last paragraph?A.To present the misfortune of Ruby chocolate.B.To doubt a growing concern about chocolate.C.To show a promising future of blonde chocolate.D.To criticize public attitude towards blonde chocolate.11.What might be a suitable title for the text?A.People’s Thoughts towards Blonde ChocolateB.Blonde Chocolate, Another Type of Sweet DessertC.The Uncommon Development of Blonde ChocolateD.Blonde Chocolate, a Delicious Treat Created by MistakeA private company is working with the American space agency NASA to develop a newrocket that could greatly reduce space travel times. The engine for such a rocket will be designed to sharply increase the amount of force to speed up space travel and improve rocket efficiency.The new design, called Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR), is being developed by Arizona-based company Howe Industries. The company is currently in the early stages of studying the technology before building working engine models.In a recent statement, Howe Industries said such rocket technology will be needed to shore up NASA’s plans to send humans to the moon and after that, possibly Mars. The space agency has also set a goal to build a long-term base in space. But one barrier to all these plans is the long travel times necessary with current spacecraft systems. For example, a trip to Mars with existing spacecraft would take at least 200 days each way. Developers of the proposed Pulsed Plasma Rocket have said it could reduce travel time to the Red Planet to about two months each way.Howe Industries said its new design gives the rocket the ability to reach extremely high speeds to complete“ reasonable” space travel times. NASA has described its Space Launch System(SLS) as the most powerful ever built. The agency has said the SLS rocket system is expected to provide nearly 53 N of force during space travel. Developers of PPR say that in addition to a huge increase in force, the new design will provide a “specific impulse (推力)” rate of 5,000. The higher this rate is, the more efficient the rocket system will be.The team said if chosen by NASA to continue with Phase (阶段) Ⅱ, it will be centered on improving the performance of the proposed engine, as well as carrying out experiments on major engine systems. The last phase will involve completing a spaceship design for carrying humans to Mars.12.What is the new rocket for?A.Loading heavy items.B.Promoting space tourism.C.Shortening the traveling time to space.D.Providing energy for a long-term space base.13.What does the underlined phrase “shore up” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Support.B.Reject.C.Reflect.D.Claim.14.Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 4?A.To tell the rocket’s unique structure.B.To prove the rocket’s potential power.C.To uncover the rocket’s possible risks.D.To show the rocket's tough development.15.What does the last paragraph suggest?A.The engine entered the second phase.B.The engine met the requirement of NASA.C.The team planned the rocket’s further improvement.D.The team are worried about the future of the rocket.Developing your personality starts with understanding yourself.

2022-2023学年江苏省泰州市高一下学期期末调研测试英语试卷
2022-2023学年江苏省泰州市高一下学期期末调研测试英语试卷1. The total number of domestic (国内的) trips during the past May Day holiday was 274 million, up 70.83 percent than last year. and 119. 09 percent over the same period in 2019, generating 148.056 billion yuan ($21.44 billion) in tourism profits, up 128.90 percent than last year, and 100.66 percent over the same period in 2019. As the first May Day holiday after new pandemic (流行病) policies, it was expected that people’s long-controlled desire to travel would be satisfied, but no one expected it would do so to this extent.The outstanding tourism performance during this year’s May Day holiday mainly resulted from the improvement of public services. Actually, even before the holiday, many places were improving tourism facilities to meet the increased stream of visitors. Zibo in Shandong province, popular for its barbecue, for example, opened parking lots and toilets for the public for free. Only by improving public services can a region keep attracting tourists all the time.The explosive growth of tourism during the May Day holiday is a manifestation of China’s economic power, especially the power of the consumer market. It also shows the faster recovery of public confidence, which will not only stimulate the growth of service consumption, but also stimulate the expansion of demand in other industries, thus promoting the expansion of overall domestic demand and helping the economic recovery to speed up.As long as the country focuses on expanding domestic demand and does what it can do to realize the potential of domestic consumption, the continuous development of China’s economy is certain.1. Why are the figures mentioned in the beginning?A.To show the recovery of Chinese tourism.B.To show the expectation of Chinese tourists.C.To show the development of Chinese economy.D.To show the improvement of our living standard.2. What is the main reason behind the excellent tourism performance?A.Huge tourism profits. B.Better public services.C.Convenient holiday traffic. D.Delicious barbecue in Zibo.3. What does the underlined word “manifestation” mean in Paragraph 3?A.display. B.scene. C.cause. D.balance.4. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of China’s economy?A.Unclear. B.Negative. C.Concerned. D.Positive.2. Humans’ voice sounds more pleasant than that of primates (灵长类动物) because we don’t have vocal membranes (声带膜), a new study suggests.Humans have vocal cords (声带), muscles in the top of the throat, which vibrate (振动) to produce sound. That unique part helps people control their voices well enough to produce sounds that form spoken language. However, unlike all the other studied primates, humans don’t have vocal membranes.To find out how vocal membranes affected spoken sounds, a team from Kyoto University took throats from monkeys that had died of natural causes and put the parts into devices, pushing air through the throats to see how the vocal cords and membranes would react. In the experiment, the researchers found that their vocal membranes and vocal cords vibrated together.Researchers said these vocal membranes make it harder for other primates to control the voices they make. Without these membranes, humans’ vocal source is m ore balanced, allowing better voice control and production of long and balanced voices. A key thing that distinguishes human speech from animal sounds is our control over the sounds we make.In humans, that sort of unpleasant voices can happen when we put extreme amounts of pressure on our voice, like baby crying and adult screaming. But those are rare cases. Researchers also said that our mouths and tongues could help control the voices. They are the basis of human languages.1. Why does the human voice sound less unpleasant?A.Humans have no vocal membranes.B.Vocal cords of humans are very narrow.C.Muscles in the human throat can hardly be controlled.D.Humans’ brains are structured differently from other primates.2. How did the researchers conduct the study?A.By exploring the history of human evolution.B.By referring to previous researches on primates.C.By observing monkeys’ vocal cords and membranes.D.By comparing the voice patterns of different animals.3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.A doubt about the research process.B.The importance of the research findings.C.Further explanation of the research results.D.The potential application of the research methods.4. Which can be the suitable title for the text?A.Why humans cry or scream?B.How primates make sounds?C.How primates develop languages?D.Why humans’ voice sounds pleasant?3. At the age of 70, the famous painter Marc Chagall discovered that by designing stained-glass windows, he could breathe bright color and light into his artwork.Born in 1887 in a Russian town, Chagall started painting when he was 19. He was tired of the dull colors of traditional Russian art. Thus in 1911, he moved to Paris. There, actors, writers, musicians and artists from around the world were creating new art forms. In France, Chagall learned new ways of painting, but stayed true to his childhood memories. While others chose modern subjects, he painted scenes of fantasy and fairy tales in an older, farmer-like way of life.One day, during a walk through the French countryside, he discovered a picturesque church He imagined replacing its walls with stained-glass windows. Then, in another 700-year-old church, he saw a stained-glass window containing a green donkey. It dawned on him that he could create his own.He began to co-work with master glassworker Charles Marq. Many stained-glass windows: were made of flat colors, but Chagall used various techniques to create the effects he wanted. He painted images on glass, then had it fired to high temperatures, making the lines and colors part of the glass. Marq admired Chagall’s determination. He also said Chagall worked with the carefulness of those rope walkers he admires, without which they couldn’t fly in their weightlessness up there.In 1964, Chagall designed a stained-glass window for the United Nations building in New York. The UN works for international peace. Using a blue background as the symbol of peace and life, Chagall designed the window with angels floating in the sky, and mothers holding their children.Chagall lived through two world wars and the loss of loved ones. He often refused payment for his stained-glass windows, especially those he made for churches. He created them as gifts for the world, gifts that catch the sun. Today, people are still amazed about how his stained-glass creations shine and change with the sun.1. Why did Chagall move to France?A.To try to escape the war. B.To learn how to paint.C.To look for true freedom. D.To get new inspiration.2. What drove Chagall to create his own stained-glass windows?A.His dislike of flat colors.B.His childhood memories.C.His encounters during a walk.D.His efforts together with Marq.3. What did Charles Marq think of Chagall?A.Tough and unbeatable. B.Cautious and determined.C.Selfless and confident. D.Generous and easy-going.4. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?A.Chagall fought for world peace and life.B.Chagall used to work in the United Nations.C.All Chagall’s designs contained loving scenes.D.Despite the hardships, Chagall remained kind.4. Time is precious for students especially during finals. Having good skills of time management becomes so important. But how can you manage your time?Get some sleep.When things get rough, sleep often gets cut out of your schedule. The lab report has to be done by tomorrow morning, so... no sleep tonight, right? Wrong. 1 Your brain will run slower, and you’ll be super tired all the time. So even if it sounds strange, spare time to get quality sleep.Prioritize (划分优先顺序) often.Keep a running list of the major tasks that you’re performing. Change it as often as necessary and refer to it when you feel worried about all the things you have to do. 2You can’t do so many all at once.3Although you might try hard to plan every detail of your routine, sometimes things just happen. You might get sick or your roommate loses your keys. Set aside as much time as you can each day for emergencies. That way, you needn’t deal with the unexpected in a rush.Schedule time to relax.Finals can be surprisingly stressful, and you may not realize how much harm they do to you until they’re over. Workload can sometimes be unbearable. Schedule some free time to make you mentally recharged. 4Ask for help when you need it.Asking for help is pretty normal during learning. It’s rare to find a student who can make it through school life without any help. 5 There are lots of places that can give you a hand at the end of a term.5. Long-distance cycling becomes more popular nowadays. Some may argue that it brings tiredness but it’s nothing, _________ with the joy of climbing huge mountains or seeing splendid sights. My long-distance cycling career of 13 years ended as I approached 75. Although I am now no longer_________ enough to bear the long days and big climbs, I have my _________.It was easy to meet different people with _________ during the trips, where I got to _________ the very best in people.

Excessive amounts of the vitamin, which is routinely added to fortified food and can be taken as a supplement, may inflame blood vessels.Heart attacks and stroke are leading causes of death worldwide. While researchers have made significant strides over the past few decades in discovering the risk factors for these conditions, they haven’t identified them all.In an effort to fill these gaps, Stanley Hazen at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and his colleagues collected blood samples from 2331 adults in the US and 832 adults in Europe who had elected to undergo cardiovascular screenings. The team analysed the samples for substances called metabolites, byproducts of metabolic processes such as digestion. The researchers then tracked incidents of cardiac events, such as heart attacks and strokes, among the participants over three years.They found that people with elevated levels of a metabolite called 4PY, which only arises when the body breaks down excess niacin, were around 60 percent more likely, on average, to experience such an event than those with lower levels. And it was found in further experiment that 4PY causes blood vessel inflammation, a major contributor to the development of heart disease, in rodents.It isn’t uncommon for people to have high niacin levels, Hazen says. This is partially due to certain foods, such as cereals and flours, being routinely fortified with the vitamin in countries that include the UK and the US. Niacin supplements are also increasingly popular as evidence suggests they have anti-ageing benefits, says Hazen. Plus, it wasn’t until recently tha t doctors stopped prescribing high-dose niacin to people at risk of cardiovascular disease, as it was initially thought the vitamin protected people from these conditions by lowering cholesterol.“I think this study really shows that sometimes, when it com es to vitamins, you can have too much of a good thing,” says Jenny Jia at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. However, this research was mainly conducted in people of European ancestry. It is therefore unclear if similar results would occur in people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, says Jia.4. What is presented in paragraph 3?A.Theoretical models. B.Research procedures.C.Practical examples. D.Historical findings.5. What does the underlined phrase “such an event” in paragraph 4 ref er to?A.Increased 4PY. B.Extra niacin.C.Blood vessel inflammation. D.Cardiovascular diseases.6. What might not be the reason for people to have high niacin levels?A.Having niacin supplement is fashionable. B.Food with niacin can rapid aging.C.Certain vitamins are added to foods. D.Niacin was prescribed to people.7. What attitude might Jia have to the study?A.Neutral. B.Supportive. C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful. Adding to the achievements of a remarkable year, Taylor Swift has been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2023.Already a superstar before 2023, Swift’s career has reached new heights thanks to the beginning of her Eras Tour that brought her 3.5-hour performance to 66 shows in 23 cities across North America, Argentina and Brazil. Promoted by her tour, Swift has been named the most-streamed female artist in the history of Spotify and Apple Music. According to Billboard, the tour made about $900 million (about 6.4 billion yuan) in 2023. In addition, the tour’s movie Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour became the biggest concert movie of all time, taking more than $250 million globally.As she was declared (宣布) a billionaire by Bloomberg in November, a hidde n “Taylor Swift economy” also promoted sales for business owners across the US. From soaps to a cruise inspired by her different “eras”, interest in Swift-related products went way up.Apart from her financial contributions, Swift made a significant cultural impact by taking back control of her music. In 2019, her old record label, Big Machine, sold the master tapes of her first six albums (专辑) to Scooter Braun. The sale meant that she didn’t have the rights to the albums. In response to this, Swift began re-recording her first six albums, tagging (加标签于) them “Taylor’s Version”. This move stressed her belief that artists deserve to own their work. “It’s all in how you deal with loss,” she told Time. “I respond to extreme pain by resisting.”Heading into 2024, Swift will start the Eras Tour again in Japan and Australia. As USA Today noted, “Her current top has been a long time coming, but it may also be just beginning.”8. What do we know about Taylor Swift?A.She broke a new record on her tour.B.She toured South America before 2023.C.Her achievements received great recognition.D.Her performance began with the Apple Music.9. How did Taylor Swift benefit from her Eras Tour?A.She proved herself to be an artist.B.She learned to make some products.C.She got rich and regained album rights.D.She sold her master tapes to a company.10. What can we learn about Taylor Swift from the last paragraph?A.She will end her music career.B.She will continue her Eras Tour.C.She will reach her top in Japan.D.She will make a record in Australia.11. What is the author’s attitude towards Taylor Swift?A.Admirable. B.Uncaring.C.Doubtful. D.Critical.I’ve lived in Cardigan Bay (卡迪根海湾) in West Wales since I was a few months old. You’ve got everything you need here. Hills, stunning beaches, nice coastal paths. As someone who loves the countryside, I’ve never wanted to leave.I was lucky to find work I could do in this area. A lot of people do have to move away in order to find work. I started Adventure Beyond here about 30 years ago and we work all over the UK. We go up to Scotland, we work along the Thames. We’ve also taken groups to Canada, the Himalayas, places like that. But honestly, West Wales has got everything. We can do everything we need right here.Cardigan Bay is pretty huge, but I find having grown up here there’s a definite sense of belonging. There’s an awareness that we’re lucky to have these incredible sandy beaches, pebbly beaches, beautiful rivers, and hills. It’s peaceful, and it’s not ove rdeveloped. Of course, there are periods when it gets busy, but then the second schools go back and you pretty much get the beaches to yourself. There is a sense of community (群体) too, with a lot of good community-based clubs, such as the Poppit Sands Surf Lifesaving Club.I set up Adventure Beyond to make my own work in the area. I love the outdoors, and I wanted to be in Cardigan Bay, so it was perfect. I’ve tried to always keep that personal touch. The clients (客户) will pretty much always meet myself and all the staff. We took a lot of people on through the Kickstart scheme (启动计划) and they’ve been employed with us for a few years. A lot of our clients have been with us since we started, too. There’s a sense of family, which is quite special.I won’t mention a specific favorite place, but in general the beaches are just amazing. It’s just a sort of wild west, really.12. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A.The author is 30 years old. B.The author has to work in another city.C.The author’s job requires a lot of travelling. D.The author can do everything in West Wales.13. What is Cardigan Bay like in the author’s eyes?A.It’s undeveloped but beautiful.B.Its beauty hasn’t been noticed.C.It has the most peaceful beaches in the world. D.It gives a sense of belonging and community.14. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Keeping that personal touch. B.Getting the beaches back to the locals.C.Enjoying outdoor activities with clients. D.Starting Adventure Beyond in CardiganBay.15. What is the text mainly about?A.The author’s simple life in Cardigan Bay.B.The author’s deep love for Cardigan Bay.C.The author’s exploration of Cardigan Bay. D.The author’s hope for the future Cardigan Bay.There are a lot of strategies for vis iting a museum and avoiding “museum tiredness”. Consider what is mentioned below in planning. 16Regardless of a museum’s size, you’ll get tired quickly if you try to look closely at every object displayed. Likewise, most museums provide lots of informat ion about the objects on view. So don’t try to read everything. 17 “Tombstone” labels are very brief and provide facts about the artist, their country etc. There may be a number, which the museum uses to register the object, usually according to when it became a part of the collection, and a credit line that indicates the donor. Object labels are placed next to many objects. 18 The approach used to write museum labels has been much debated among art historians and museum professionals.19 Ask for a map, or have museum staff suggest highlights in the collection or special exhibitions. Many museums have special tours, audioguides, or downloadable apps that point you to these objects.Some people recommend setting a specific amount of time for your visit (1 or 2 hours). 20 In addition to benches in the galleries, most museums have a cafe, shop, sculpture courtyard or gardens where you can hang out and relax for a bit.Nuclear pollution is a serious global ___________, brought to the forefront by major accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima. These events have demonstrated the significant health and environmental risks _________by nuclear disasters. Not only have they caused immediate health problems, such as radiation sickness and increased cancer rates, but they have also _________lasting environmental damage and genetic changes in affected communities. As a result, nuclear pollution remains a pressing concern for governments, scholars, and individuals worldwide.When nuclear accidents occur in coastal areas, the _________environment becomes a critical concern due to the crucial role that oceans play in _________the climate, ensuring food security, and supporting the livelihoods of billions of people globally.

No one knows exactly how the 12 animals came to be named. But ancient storytellers said the Jade Emperor, or the Buddha, organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac.In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won the race, turning the two animals into enemies. That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. As to the rabbit, it crossed the river by jumping on the tops of stones in the river. When the rabbit got there, no others were around, so it went off to the side and slept. By the time the rabbit woke up, three others had already arrived.However, in the Vietnamese version which did not have a rabbit, the cat could swim and ended up arriving fourth. The top twelve finishers which appear in the zodiac were rat, ox, tiger, cat (or rabbit), dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.Philippe Papin is an expert on Vietnamese history at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris. He told the Northwest Asian Weekly in 2011 that one possible explanation for replacing rabbit with cat might have to do with language.pronounced like mao. The pronunciation is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat.This year, another website, VNExpress, said many Vietnamese are buying new cat-themed cases for their mobile phones. And one of the top Google searches in Vietnam is “why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac.”4.The race of animals is mentioned to explore ________.A.the reason for the victory of the catB.how the 12 animals were selected in ChinaC.how the rabbit got replaced by the cat in China’s zodiacD.the reasons behind the difference between the two zodiacs5.What does “three others” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The rat, the ox and the horse.B.The tiger, the cat and the ox.C.The rat, the ox and the tiger.D.The cat, the rat and the snake 6.What caused the rabbit to be replaced according to Papin?A.The race organized by the Jade Emperor.B.The different customs of the two countriesC.The excellent performance of the Vietnamese catD.The similar pronunciation of certain words in the two languages7.What does the last paragraph imply?A.The Year of the cat or the rabbit raises public interest in Vietnam.B.Google plays an increasingly important role in Vietnam.C.Rabbit-themed cases for mobile phones become a hit in China.D.Cat-themed cases for mobile phones enjoy popularity in China.Gardening’s many “rules” have been repeated so often that they can seem like unquestionable truths. But many have little basis in fact, so following them may be unnecessary at best and could give you poorer results at worst.A classic example is the long-held idea that watering plants around noon on a sunny day should be avoided, since it might harm their leaves. The explanation is that tiny water droplets can act like lenses (透镜), focusing the sun’s rays onto leaves, resulting in scorched (灼伤的) leaves and reduced plant health.Four researchers set out to learn more, running experiments on living plants and carryingsurface of smooth-leaved plants could indeed have this effect, causing damage right across the leaf surface. But when this was repeated with actual water droplets, such damage didn’t occur.This is because water behaves rather differently to glass. The shape of a water droplet on a leaf is more elliptical (椭圆的) than spherical. The computer modelling showed that the extreme damage through a lens of this shape would occur when the sun was at a low angle in the sky, that is, in the morning or in the afternoon. However, the sun’s strength at these times is too low to cause any harm. Even if the light of the midday sun did somehow come at the strongest angle, the heat at this time of day would always cause the water droplets to evaporate (蒸发) before they had an effect.So, if your plants need a good watering, give them some water. Not watering thirsty plants on a sunny day for fear of leaf scorch will almost certainly lead to more damage from drought stress than could be caused by the magnifying glass (放大镜) effect. While it remains generally true that the ideal time to water a plant is in the morning or evening — to lessen the amount of water that evaporates before reaching the plant’s roots — the evidence doesn’t support the idea that watering at midday will cause burning.8.What is the long-held idea talked about in the passage!A.Watering plants counts a lot.B.Plant leaves might act like lenses.C.Watering at midday may harm plant health.D.Sun’s rays might be focused onto water droplets.9.What did the researchers find in the experiments with actual water droplets?A.The same degree of damage occurred.B.Damage was caused right across the leaf surface.C.Unlike the glass spheres, the water droplets didn’t damage leaves.D.The smooth-leaved plants were extremely affected by water droplets.10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The explanation for the finding.B.The process of the experiments.C.The time of evaporating.D.The harm caused by the sunshine.A.The long-held idea is well worth advocating.B.Plants’ roots get no water if watering occurs at noon.C.Watering in the morning can prevent water evaporation.D.Watering thirsty plants on a sunny noon makes sense.“What if I told you that I murdered Basil?”“You couldn’t murder anyone, Dorian. He probably fell into the Seine from a bus. By the way, where’s that wonderful portrait he did of you? Oh! I remember now. You told me years ago that you sent it to Selby Manor and that it got lost or stolen on the way. What a pity! I wanted to buy it. I wish I had now.” Lord Henry said.“I never really liked it,” said Dorian.“How have you kept your youth, Dorian? You must have some secret. I’m only ten years older than you are, and I’m wrinkled and old. Please, tell me your secret. To get back my youth, I’d do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.”When Dorian arrived home that night, he sent his servant to bed, and sat down on the sofa in the library. Then he began to think about his life.“I’ve been an evil influence on my friends, and I’ve ruined the lives of many good young people,” he thought, “Ah! Why did I pray for the portrait to grow old, and for me to stay young? I worshiped beauty and eternal youth, but they ruined me. It’s better not to think of the past. Nothing can change that. I must think of the future. James Vane is dead. Alan Campbell is dead, too. He shot himself one night in his laboratory.”“I’m safe now,” he continued. “Basil painted the portrait that ruined my life. I can’t forgive him for that. Everything is the portrait’s fault.”He began to wonder about the portrait. “If I’m good, maybe the portrait will become beautiful again,” he thought. “I’ll go and look.”He took the lamp from the table and went upstairs. As he unlocked the door, he smiled. “Yes, I’ll be good,” he thought, “I won’t be frightened of this portrait any more.”He went upstairs to the room and locked the door. Then he pulled the purple cloth off the portrait. He gave a cry of pain. The portrait was more horrible. His face looked more evil. There was new blood on the hand and on the feet.Dorian trembled with fear. Dorian looked round the room and saw the knife that stabbed“This knife killed the artist, and now it will kill the artist’s work,” he thought.He grabbed the knife, and then he stabbed the portrait with it.12.What do we know about Lord Henry from the passage?A.He doubted slightly whether Dorian murdered Basil.B.He would do whatever he could to get back his youth.C.The portrait he wanted to buy was stolen by Selby Manor.D.The truth about how Dorian kept his youth was hidden from him.13.What can we infer from the passage?A.Dorian admitted he was badly affected by his friends.B.Alan Campbell shot himself one night in his laboratory.C.Dorian blamed his sufferings on the portrait and Basil.D.Dorian wanted to kill himself so that the portrait could become normal.14.What does the underlined word “worshiped” mean in paragraph 6?A.Admired.B.Deserved.C.Maintained.D.Ignored. 15.Why did Dorian stab the portrait at the end of the story?A.Because the portrait aroused too much curiosity of his friends.B.Because the portrait reflecting his soul made him suffer great pain.C.Because he was jealous of the portrait which would never grow old.D.Because he thought the portrait would take his youth and beauty away.二、七选五Have you ever felt a wave of anxiety (焦虑) when going out in public? Have you everthree tips to help you overcome this issue.Understand the spotlight effect (焦点效应)Many people assume that they’re being judged all the time but actually it may only be occasional. Keeping this in mind, we can look at others and think to ourselves, “Ah, they’re probably thinking about themselves right now”. Whenever you start feeling anxious outside, you can remind yourself of this. 17 . It will give you an advantage in social situations.Use cognitive restructuring (认知重建)you begin to worry you’ve messed up and that this person now thinks less of you. In this situation. you can remind yourself that everyone stutters from time to time. And since the spotlight effect exists, chances are this person didn’t even notice it. This way of thinking will immediately relax you.19If you always run away from a fear, your body and mind will remember it as something dangerous enough to run away from. But if you face your fears, over time your body will start to accept them as something manageable. And your anxiety should decrease little by little. You can take baby steps here. Start off by saying thank you to people you often meet, such as cashiers or bus drivers. Then when you feel comfortable enough, move on to making small talks with them. 20 . This should help you with your anxiety.A.Face your fearsB.Talk to people frequentlyC.You can turn a blind eye to people around youD.Well, you might be suffering from social anxietyE.You can also try to focus more on others than yourselvesF.Finally, you can increase the amount and depth of these talksG.This is when you question the beliefs that cause your anxiety三、完形填空A boy lived with his family on a farm. They had a beautiful dog. To prepare for the duckThe neighbor replied, “Yes, your dog can’t 31 swim.” The boy sat in disbelief as his neighbor pointed out a weakness of the dog rather than 32 he had witnessed a wonder.People often downplays (轻视)others’ achievements which they’re 33 to achieve themselves. Don’t let this bring you down. Just move on and improve yourself. Moreover, do give 34 when people accomplish something worthy of it. Pointing out other people’s shortcomings doesn’t make you 35 .21.A.swimming B.training C.playing D.wandering 22.A.took off B.ran out C.came around D.died down 23.A.cast B.struck C.shot D.aimed 24.A.charged B.jumped C.rolled D.fell 25.A.more than B.instead of C.apart from D.due to 26.A.ice B.surface C.stones D.bank 27.A.relaxed B.satisfied C.inspired D.astonished 28.A.pond B.bird C.dog D.duck 29.A.waved B.signaled C.screamed D.responded 30.A.anger B.curiosity C.pride D.confidence 31.A.even B.ever C.always D.quite 32.A.question B.understand C.find D.recognize 33.A.likely B.eager C.unable D.content 34.A.advice B.aid C.permission D.credit 35.A.better B.worse C.selfish D.generous四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. It’simportant to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other. To keep you awareof this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.◎Always stand when making an introduction.When you are seated and someone comes up togreet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect foryourself and for the other person.◎Always maintain eye contact while making a nintroduction.Many people are not aware of the value of thissimple action. When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image.◎Always introduce a person of lesser authority toone of greater authority. The most important thing to remember is to say themost important person’s name first.For e_ample, when introducing your supervisor(管理者) to a job candidate(候选人), you wouldgive your supervisor’s name first. 〝Bob Jones, may I introduce Susan Lee, whohas just graduated from ABC University?〞◎In a situation where rank is unimportant, anintroduction is based on se_ and age. A man is presented to a woman and ayounger woman to an older woman. What if you find yourself in a situation whereyou have forgotten the other person’s name? Start with a handshake and reintroduceyourself. By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.However, if the other person does not take your suggestion,it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happento all of us. The other person should be forgiving.59. The article gives you advice on _________.A. how to make a self-introductionB. how to make a proper introductionC. how to leave a good impression on peopleD. how to greet people in social situations60. According to the passage, people will think you are______ if you don’t make eye contact with them.A. not honestB. notconfident C.shy D.unfriendly61. What should you do when you introduce a newworker to your boss?A. You should not give your boss’ name.B. You should give the newworker’s name first.C. You needn’t give your boss’ name.D. You should give your boss’ name first.62. If you forget the other person’s name, you’dbetter ________.A. ask him/her directlyB. apologize first and then ask him/herC. shake hands with the person and reintroduce yourselfD. consider his age firstCTurning on the TV, a wonderful scene comesto your eyes---- a group of men, tall, strong and handsome. and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by lu_urious planes andpleasure-ships.They are models.Do you envy them? What sort of life are modelsleading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?Afew models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a big money only by showing themselves off incommercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like.They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine—Models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those whoare very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Veryfew can earn enough to live on, and for all models their e_penses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very farwithout a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also haveto pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.Interviewsfor a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modelling world. A top modelcan choose her work, demand and receive high fees and have her e_penses paid.But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence,qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looksand the tight figure. For all e_cept the very few lucky ones, the life of amodel is a continual search for work, trying to sell herself or himself in theface of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards onthe part of some employers.Immigrationofficials at airport look suspiciously(怀疑地)at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as 〝Model〞, and these are men andwomen of considerable e_perience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put 〝Secretary〞 or 〝Businessman〞 as their jobs intheir passports.Modellingis a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for themajority.63. For models, their looks and figuresare_____ , compared with their good qualifications and intelligence.A.more important B. less needed C. less essential D.more looked down upon64.Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?A. A model’s travelling e_penses are usuallypaid by his employer.B. models should often go abroad.C. Mostmodels have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.D. A modelcan hardly be successful without a good agent.65. Models often put 〝Secretary〞 or〞Businessmen〞 instead of〞 Model〞 in their passports becauseA.they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans.B.models are sometimes looked down upon.C.a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies.D.secretaries and businessmen are free of Customs duty.66. What may be the author’s attitude towardmodelling?A.It is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.B.He is in favour of young people to try modelling.C.Before being crazy about a model job, young people should be aware of the difficulties.D.It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.DAt one time, computers weree_pected largely to remove the need for paper copies of uments because they could be stored electronically. But for all the te_ts that are written, storedand sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper. It isdifficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an officecan tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. 〝I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cutdown,〞 says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.Perhaps the best sign of howcomputer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-techindustry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets.Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality uments from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to printeven more so they can get a hard copy of a business ument, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As thecompany sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.Does all this mean environmentalconcerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led tobelieve that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. ; I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling ?; said Kelly Quirke , director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco.Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printersthat print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has alsofound acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.67. The growing demand for paper in recent yearsis largely due to ________.A. the rapid development of smallbusinessesB. the opening up of new marketsC. the printing of high qualitycopiesD. the increased use of the Internet68.Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situationis ________.A. to encourage printing morequality umentsB. not to use the InternetC. to find new materials formaking paperD. to plant more fast-growingtrees69.Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because _______.A. people are concerned about theenvironmentB. printers in many offices areworking overtimeC. small companies need more hardcopiesD. they see a growing market forprinters70. What would be the best title for the te_t?A. Computers and PrintersB. E-mail and the Business WorldC. Internet Revolution andEnvironmentD.

One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked (漏出) along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was. “I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best.I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You bot h have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.4. What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. His past.B. His aging.C. His manner.D. His leaking.5. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. dirtyB. darkC. worn-outD. ordinary-looking.6. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to ___________.A. take pity on the old oneB. laugh at the old oneC. show off its beautiful looksD. praise the gardener‟s kindness7. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep a balanceB. Because it stayed in its best conditionC. Because it had its own functionD. Because it was taken as a treasureCThis year, about twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impression of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn about the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, 19, spent last year in Germany with George‟s family. In turn, George‟s son Mike spent a year in Fred‟s home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after two months of studying, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected —much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usually taken in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The father‟s word was the law, and all of the activities were done around the family rather than individually (单独地). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also he missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy for our level. But I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”8. This year ___________ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.A. twenty-three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand9. The whole exchange program is done mainly to ___________.A. help teenagers in other countries learn about the real AmericaB. send students in America to GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teenagers learn new languages10. What is particular in American schools is that ___________.A. there is a ground between two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of outside activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in cars11. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought that ___________.A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students bestC. America schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American schools was more helpful for studentsDWhen times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we‟re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor‟s degree in three ye ars instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there‟s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-ye ar degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “di luting(稀释)”the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it‟s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.12. Which of the following can be the best title?A. It‟s time to shorten the learning processB. Best learning takes place over timeC. University education should be watered downD. College education calls for reform13. In most US universities, ___________.A. some excellent students can graduate ahead of timeB. college students are offered the co-op programC. electives‟ credits make up one quarter of the required creditsD. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation14. We can infer that ___________.A. the author is a college professorB. the author considers the university education quality very importantC. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordD. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students15. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ___________.A. explantationB. definitionC. CommentD. introduction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。

一、完形填空(本大题共1小题)When I became an amputee(截肢患者) at age 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became different, as I change d from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and 1 .Too busy 2 physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. But I was determined to 3 my work and life as well as before, feeling good about the progress I had made.4 , as I made my first trip outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my limit in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall as a survivor. Unfortunately, I had a rude response as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself. All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to5 my eyes force d me to realize they saw only my missing legs.While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed 6 at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, she childishly asked,"Lady, where did your legs go? "I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn't been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to 7 them. With her head upwards, she asked, "Did they go to 'Leg Heaven'? "That incident made me think about how 8 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and 9 learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror.To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a 10 approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not - so - perfect body doesn't mean having a poor quality of life. 1.A.comfort B.fear C.hatred D.sadness2.A.crying with B.figuring out C.holding back D.dealing with3.A.balance B.quit C.manage D.overcome4.A.Instead B.Moreover C.However D.Therefore5.A.turn B.hold C.catch D.avoid6.A.curiosity B.determination C.enthusiasm D.satisfaction7.A.lose B.adjust C.remove D.stretch8.A.differently B.positively C.strangely D.sympathetically9.A.painful B.potential C.similar D.common10.A.creative B.flexible C.positive D.scientific二、语法填空(本大题共3小题)AIn daily life, body language plays an important part in communication.

Fluent in English, his mother often read Friedrich Nietzsche's works to him. Influenced by his mother, Yuan Longping liked English, geography and chemistry at school. After graduating from university, he became a teacher in the countryside of Hunan in 1953.With lots of crop failures, nationwide hunger hit China in the 1960s, making many people live a bad life. Yuan was sad and felt he must do something. Since the climate in Hunan was not friendlyto growing wheat, he decided to devote himself to studying how to increase the production of rice, a basic food for over 60 pe rcent of Chinese people: From then on, he began a lifelong connection with rice.Yuan Longping succeeded in growing the world's first high product ion hybrid rice(杂交水稻) variety. in 1973,which could reach a yield of over 500 kg per more than 200 kg than before. For thenext four decades, he continued to work on the research of hybrid rice. In 2020, hybrid rice developed by his team achieved 1, 500kg per mu in two growing seasons, a new world record.Nowadays, the hybrid rice is grow n in almost half of China's rice fields and its production accounts for 60percent of the total rice production in China. The hybrid rice product ion is 20 percent more than the common kinds,the yearly increase of which feeds up to nearly 100 million people.In 2019, Yuan Longping, known as the "Father of hybrid rice", was awarded Medal of the Republic,China's highest honor.Yuan Longping's biggest dream in life was to develop more hybrid rice varieties, which could be grow n all over the world to help so lve the global food problem. So far, the hybrid varieties he developed have been grown in over 40 countries, including the USA, Brazil and India.21.What do we know about Yuan Longping according to the text?A.He began to study hybrid rice in 1973.B.He received the highest honor in China at 90.C.He ever taught math in the city after graduation.D.He ever hoped Chinese would be free from hunger.22.How does the author mainly show the achievement s of Yuan Longping in hybrid rice?A.By listing figures.B.By quoting reports.C.By imagining results.D.By explaining reasons.23.Which of the following best describes Yuan Longping according to the text?A.Patient and honest.B.Energetic and athletic.C.Capable and remarkable.D.Humorous and adventurous.Traditional class room teaching alone cannot motivate every student.

Wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can help track the transformation of food crops over time.Friends since childhood, their interest in plants in artwork began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum in Russia——where they noticed an odd- looking watermelon in an early - 17th - century painting by Flemish artist Frans Snyders."So if you think of a watermelon, you cut it through, it should be dark red on the inside. But that one appearedto be pale and white." De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But Vergauwen said, "This is one of the best painters ever from that era. So if he paints it like that, that's the way it must have been." Other paintings showed that both red and white watermelons were raised during the 17th century.The team hopes to set up an online research database of historical plant artwork. They create a social media hashtag (主题标签) for it. Anyone could send pictures of relevant artwork and details of plants when they visit a museum or exhibit through the hashtag. But, they adds, the sources need to be realistic. "If you're going to use, for example, Picasso to understand how a pear looked, you might be misled."27.What can we learn from De Smet's words in paragraph 1?A.Humans have mainly fed on wheat since 1565.B.Selective breeding affects agricultural structure.C.Wheat has gone through great changes in height.D.The scene in The Harvesters may be unbelievable.28.What is Vergauwen's attitude to the watermelon painted by Frans Snyders?A.Curious.B.Disapproving.C.Favorable.D.Doubtful.29.Why was the social media hashtag created?A.To collect more source paintings.B.To encourage people to focus on art.C.To advertise their research database.D.To share some historical plant artwork.30.What is the text mainly about?A.Ancient paintings focus on food crops.B.Old art reveals agricultural information.C.Two men create a database of plant artwork.D.Plants today are different from their ancestors.From the Moon to Mars, scientists have been hunting for alien life in the solar system for decades. However, Venus was not regarded as an ideal place because of is hot temperature and dry atmosphere. But a recent discovery of traces of a gas in the clouds of Venus has excited astronomers, as it may serve as a potential sign of life.On Sept.14, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada announced that scientists have detected phosphine (磷化氢) in the clouds of Venus. Phosphine is a colourless, toxic (有毒的) gas that has anodour of garlic (蒜) . Though toxic, it is viewed as a possible sign of life because on the Earth the gas is made by microorganisms that live in oxygen - free environments."I was very surprised- stunned, in fact, " astronomer Jane Greaves of Cardiff University in Wales and lead author of the research said. "There is a chance that we have detected some kind of living organism in the clouds of Venus."This layer of clouds is about 48 kilometres above the Venus surface, with its temperature ranging from 30 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists have speculated that if life exists on Venus, this cloud deck (云盖) is likely the only place where it would survive.Scientists went through every possibility that could have led to the formation of phosphine gas in Venus's clouds,including volcanoes, lightning strikes, small meteorites (陨石) falling into the atmosphere. But they ruled all of them out. It was concluded that there is no explanation for the existence of this gas in Venus's clouds, other than the presence of life, USA Today reported.Although the detection of phosphine is not hard evidence for life, this finding is great enough to change scientists' view on Venus, which is thought to be a completely inhospitable (不适合居住的) planet.31.What is the text mainly about?A.A newly detected gas may indicate possible existence of life on Venus.B.Scientists found the most hospitable place on Venus.C.The environment on Venus changed in favour of life.D.Phosphine formed on Venus means alien life is present.32.What can we learn about phosphine from the text?A.It has no smell at all.B.It only exists on Venus.C.It can be produced by microorganisms.D.It is a sign of the existence of oxygen.33.What can we infer from paragraphs 3 and 4?A.Various living organisms have been detected on Venus.B.The higher the cloud is above Venus, the warmer it is.C.The cloud deck is rich in phosphine.D.If life exists on Venus, it is likely in the cloud deck.34.What did scientists conclude about the phosphine gas detected on Venus?A.It could be formed as a result of the falling of meteorites.B.It could be a sign that there is life in Venus's clouds.C.It could be caused by volcanoes and lightning strikes.D.It proves that Venus is another hospitable planet.Scientists visiting tiny Henderson Island in the South Pacific recently made an alarming discovery. 35 They calculated there were 38 million pieces of plastic. "This is not an issue to ignore. We need to do something now to protect the sea." said one scientist.Plastic waste in the sea has long been known about, but only now are we discovering the true extent of the problem. Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, so all the plastic ever produced still exists somewhere. Around 95% of plastics made are not recycled, and large amounts enter the sea. Currents (洋流)collect this waste in large circular systems called "gyres". 36 Th e problem gets worse as plastic breaks down into very small pieces, or "micro plastic", 37 Humans also eat these fish, and micro plastic has even been found in tap water around the world. The plastic on Henderson Island accounts for just 2 seconds'worth of global annual plastic production. That production will be three times by 2050.38 Whil e diving in Greece, young Boyan Slat noticed there was more plastic waste than fish. He decided right then to dedicate his life to solving this problem. Boyan thought, why move through the sea when the sea can move through you? So he started The Ocean Cleanup project, which places very long floating barriers in the Pacific. Currents then concentrate the waste naturally so it can be collected and recycled. He hopes to reduce the patch by 50% in just five years."Sea plastic is a symbol of the negative effects of our lifestyle and technology, " he says. " 39 Protecting the sea from plastic is a good place to start!"A.it goes unnoticed and finds its way to human bodies.B.This is eaten by fish and leads to massive species loss.C.To work with the currents would help collect the waste.D.Our aim should be to create a new lifestyle for this century.E.However, there are some young minds working to clean up the sea for future generations. F.Although remote and previously untouched by humans, the island was covered in plastic waste. G.One of the largest is in the Pacific Ocean, an area now know n as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch".四、其他阅读题型(本大题共1小题)When 13- year- old Katie recently went online, she couldn't believe that some classmates were making fun of her. The seven th g rader from New Jersey discovered mean and hurtful comments written about her in an online Web journal."It was really offensive (无礼的) and upsetting to me because I knew everyone could see it online, " Katie told Weekly Reader. "There was nothing I could do to take it down."For many kids like Katie, Cyberbullying(网络霸凌) has become part of everyday life. Most cyberbullies are between the ages of 9 and 14.Studies show that about 55 percent of kids in grades 4 through 8 have had mean or hurtful remarks made to them online."Cyberbullying is a huge problem in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, "said Aftab, an online safety expert.Why is cyberbullying such a growing problem? For starters, kids spend a lot of time online at both home and at school. Ninety - three percent of American kids have computers in their homes, according to the U. S. Census Bureau.Online experts say being mean online is easier because computers give kids a sense of being anonymous (匿名的), or not being known. Kids say things on the Internet that they would never say face - to - face.Some kids also don't realize that they're cyberbullies because they don't see the consequences of their actions."In face - to - face communication, we see when we've gone too far, " Aftab says. "We lose all those visual cues online."To address the problem, more schools and communities are educating kids about online etiquette (礼仪)and are holding anti- bullying seminars. Aftab trains groups, called TweenAngels and TeenAngels, to become safe and responsible cybercitizens who share their knowledge with others.TeenAngel Kendall, 12, experienced cyberbullying when kids at school blocked him out of gaming sites. His advice for dealing with a cyberbully: "Don't be afraid to tell your parents, teachers, or whomever you trust the most."40.Why is cyberbullying more likely to happen than face - to - face bullying?41.What are schools and communities doing to prevent online bullying?42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Cyberbullying has become increasingly common among teenagers, especially those who are under grade 4.43.What will you do if you see someone being bullied online?

Yet, have you ever heard of an ice monster in the American state of Alaska?An ice monster is what many people thought they were seeing when a federal government agency published a strange-looking video. The Bureau of Land Management put the video on its Facebook page.The pictures were taken in Alaska, the northernmost part of the United States. While winter has yet to officially begin, weather conditions there already are very cold.In the video, a fish with ice on its back appears to be swimming. The video was only 20 seconds long. But it was enough to get people wondering what they saw.One person said it showed a shark that lost its way. Someone else thought the video was a prank designed to cheat people. He said the Bureau of Land Management wanted to bring attention to its Facebook page. Other people asked if the video was edited in some way, removing some images or addingothers. Perhaps, they reasoned, the bureau was trying to frighten people around the celebration of Halloween. Some people said the ice monster was a large fish: a sturgeon. Someone even suggested the creature was a crocodile. But such an animal could not survive in Alaska, where it does not get very hot, even in summer. Some readers said it was ice moving in the river current, or ice that was frozen to a rope or some other object.On October 31, the Bureau of Land Management published an update. It agreed with some of the people who commented on the original piece. An expert from the Department of Fish and Game told the bureau the picture looked “really cool”, but it was probably just ice stuck to a rope. The ice caused the rope to float and move in the river’s current.Even though the mystery seems to be solved, some people do not seem persuaded. Others are still wishing it was a “real” monster.(1)What is the author’s main purpose in asking the question in Paragraph 1?A . To encourage readers to answer it.B .

A shark losing its way.B . A large fish: a sturgeon.C . A sea creature like Nessie.D . A piece of ice frozen to a rope.3. 阅读理解Many cultures around the world have a grain thatis not grown or even known outside its home area. Now, a staple grain native toEthiopia, teff, is appearing on grocery shelves in America.Teff has been an important part of the Ethiopiandiet for thousands of years. Like rice and wheat, it is a cereal grass. Teff isknown for its fine grain and used mainly to make flour. Teff flour is the keyingredient in injera, the large, spongy pancakes that make up a large portionof the Ethiopian diet.Teff was introduced to the United States by aman named Wayne Carlson, who learned about teff while doing public health workin Africa in the mid-1970s. “I came to know teff be cause I was eating itall the time and hosted by teff farmers.” he said. In the late 70s,Carlson returned to the U. S. , married and settled in southwest Idaho. Then hecame up with an idea to introduce teff grass to his home state.”Geologically, it is very similar to Ethiopia.”Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers,nor do they want to be. So they convinced actual farmers in Idaho to grow teffon contract for them. The Carlsons milled it themselves.Wayne went through the Washington, D. C.telephone book and looked for the names that were Ethiopian. And that is howthe business slowly grew. Over time, the Teff Company has outgrown fourdifferent mills.Rich Roseberg is a food researcher at OregonState University. He says teff production has exploded over the past decade inthe U. S. He says most teff grown in the U. S. is fed to farm animals. InIdaho, however, where the Carlsons are based, Roseberg believes more of theteff production is for human food. Teff contains lots of calcium, iron, proteinand fiber. Roseberg credits Wayne Carlson for being ahead of his time.(1)How do the Ethiopians mainly use teff?A . By eating the cereal grass.B . By using the flour made from it.C . By adding the plant into injera.D . By mixing it with rice and wheat.(2)According to Wayne, why is it possible for teff to grow well in Idaho?A . Idaho is located close to Ethiopia.B . Teff is easy to survive on its own.C . Idaho has geographic features similar to Ethiopia.D . Teff was originally introduced to Ethiopia from Idaho.(3)What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A . Wayne’s teff did not sell well at first.B . Wayne’s teff was sold only to Ethiopians.C . Wayne sent teff to his Ethiopian friends.D . Wayne lost control of his Teff Company.(4)What is Rich Roseberg’s attitude to Way ne introducing teff into America?A . Worried.B . Disapproving.C . Favorable.D . Pessimistic.4. 阅读理解UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, “Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy .” Indeed, MotherNature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules.But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel.The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia in China and some other countries at the beginning of this yearis an example. According to Xinhua News Agency ,the new coronavirus is similarto a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host .If it is believed that thevirus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, wherelive wild animals were sold.The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr PeterDaszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said,”This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human populationdensity , wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive newpandemics .”In ancient times, people needed to rely onnature to survive so they held it in awe . For example, the AmericanIndians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a pail ofhumans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and humanbeings.However, as human beings master more knowledgeand make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature.They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify plants, capture somewild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humansgradually lose contactwith nature and even throw it out of balance. Forexample, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build upin the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.Although we don’t know for sure what firstcaused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it’s time for peopleto’’ reflect on our relationship with our plant” reconnect with this worldand everything that we’ve been given”. After all, according to US poetGary Snyder, “ Nature is not the place to visit. It’s our home.”(1)Why does the author give the example of the NCP in Paragraph 2?A . Because it results from humans going against nature.B . Because it has caused widespread suffering.C . Because it broke out at the beginning of this year.D . Because it is similar to another pandemic.(2)What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?A . Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.B . It’s impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.C . We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.D . Humans should live peacefully with nature.(3)What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A . How human beings become their own masters.B . How human activities cause global warming.C . How human beings break the balance of nature.D . How humans use technology to improve their lives.(4)What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?A . To reflect on the NCP outbreak.B . To explain what led to the NCPoutbreak.C . To describe experts, predictions on new pandemics.D . To compare ancient and modem attitudes toward nature.二、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)5. 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。
