Puzzled and curious, he quickened his pace, wondering who would be the unexpected visitor. Hardly had he stepped into the doorway when he noticed that Allan, the man he met in the morning, was talking with his father. Astonished to see the scene, he asked curiously, “Are you old acquaintances?” His father beamed up, “No, but Mr. Allan has told me what happened this morning and he offered to give me a job, as a deliveryman!”Hearing the good news, Will turned overjoyed. He asked eagerly, “Dad, with this job, do we need to sell our house?” “Probably not! At least it can help cover the medical expenses!” His father responded. Wearing a big smile on his face, Will expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Allan, offering that he would also help deliver the goods in the following summer vacation! Moved by the little boy, Allan stroked his head, “The world will be kind to the one with a kind heart!” Leaning against the door was the father, who felt relieved, not only for the precious job, but for the kind boy. (175 words)After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house. Walking into the house with great curiosity, Will found the familiar figure sitting next to his father. He can’t believe the man should be the boss he met this morning! Realizing his surprised son standing still, Will’s father gladly stood up, introducing Allan to Will, who had told everything to Will’s father. Allan walked straight to Will, gently touched Will’s shoulder and said, “I have found a man who can take my delivering job.”Hearing the good news, Will turned overjoyed. “Really?” Will asked with a big smile on his innocent face. Will’s father gratefully explained that it is Allan who offered him the job opportunity at this hard time, and Allan even tried to make every effort to provide necessary help for their family. Will was deeply touched, with a choking voice, he said, “Thank you. but I don’t know how to pay for your kindness.” “You owe me nothing, Will You are kind to the world, and the world is kind to you now.” (160 words)1.W: Your wife is much better today. She can leave the hospital tomorrow.M: Thank you so much for all you have done. I’ll come and pick her up.2.M: How was your appointment with Mr. Ray?W: It was great! Although I had to wait for nearly an hour, I persuaded him to join in the designing of our new model. He was late due to a traffic jam caused by an accident.3.M: Your new bag looks very nice. It must be very expensive.W: Not exactly. My husband bought it for me at Macy’s. They offer 20% off.M: That’s a real bargain.4.M: It’s a good idea to deal with the chain store.W: But you’d better meet the manager Mr. Thomason to talk about the possibility.M: All right. I’ll call and see when it is convenient for him.5.W：Do you think I can catch the 8：20 train?M：There is only 50 minutes left. You'd better pack up quickly.W：I don’t have much to pack up. Hopefully I will be in time to check in.6-7【原文】W: Shouldn’t you be preparing for tomorrow’s exam?M: I just don’t want to get too nervous. Besides, this is the biggest game of the World Cup season. I can’t miss it, Will you join me?W: I’d rather go to the fitness center. I need to lose some weight to try out for the dancing club. M: You have only two weeks. Don’t you think it’s too late?W: Better late than never.8-10【原文】W: Any ideas about the new house we’re planning to buy?M: I’d prefer one closer to the school. Mathew is reaching school age.W: That’s not the problem. The school bus is very convenient.M: Well, maybe one by the river. We’ll have great views and I can go fishing on weekends.W: Fishing is absolutely your favorite, but the river view houses are more expensive.M: But the views are unique and postcard worthy.W: And the houses are closer to your company.M: And your favorite reading club.W: Shall we go to an agency today to see what they have?M: Maybe next weekend. Oh, my parents are coming tonight. They won’t leave until tomorrow afternoon.W: We can go with them together as a family. And we can picnic on the riverside.M: Mathew will be happy with the idea.11-13【原文】M: Good evening, madam! Are you ready to order?W: I would like to have fish today.M: The fish the cook got from the market is super fresh.W: Which market does it come from?M: The market in Spring Street, the one that is open on Wednesdays. Thursdays and Fridays.W: What are the opening hours? I’ll buy fish there in future!M: It’s open from 7:30 a.m. until 5: 30 p.m.W: OK. What’s the “dessert of the day”?M: Oranges cooked very slowly with sugar and lemon juice.W: Now I can decide. I will have the fish and then chocolate ice cream for dessert. How long will thefish take to cook?M: We have quite a few customers, but the fish is quick to cook. It will be here in 15 to 20 minutes. W: That’s fine. That means I will have plenty of time to eat before the last bus home. Otherwise, I will have to take a taxi or walk ten minutes to the subway station.14-17【原文】W: I’m reading a book right now, that’s about the Mexican life runners.M: What has the book talked about?W: People who can run for days.M: Days?W: Yeah, and some of them are already in their eighties and nineties and they run barefoot in the desert.M: Wow.W: They’re born to run. As soon as they learn to walk, they’re running and they run their whole lives. Running a hundred miles is just like a walk in the park to them.M: It sounds like that’s impossible. The human body cannot run too far because it needs water, it needs food, it needs rest.W: I think part of the idea of the book is that we’re limited by our belief in that. In fact, the life runners don’t have that belief. Therefore, they don’t have those limits. Nobody told them they couldn’t so they…M: They just do it.W: Nobody told them they needed a sports field or a pair of, you know, hundred-dollar shoes in order to run. They just run, it’s like it’s a natural human thing.M: Wow.18-20【原文】M: I became interested in eco-friendly transport when I discovered how much cars contribute to air pollution and global warming. This eco-car is amazing — it’s called the air car because it’s designed to run on air. The designer was interested in the challenge of designing a car that runs on new energy. When the first model was shown at the Paris Design Fair, people were surprised at its lack of noise and how safe it was. Inventors were impressed by the technology that allows the car to use air at speeds less than 50 km/h. The car looks just like a normal car inside with four seats and a trunk for luggage. The car is cheap to run because it runs on air that is stored in a tank — plus its body is made of light fiber glass, not heavy steel like most cars. In the future gas stations will have special pumps for drivers to refill their air tank just like they refill with regular fuel now. The best news of course is that air car produces zero greenhouse gas at low speeds.。

More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think thatis a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.4．What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?A．attached B．combinedC．fixed D．repaired5．Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?A．The design and color.B．The reasonable price.C．The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.D．The company’s advertisement.6．What is the purpose of the text?A．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.B．To describe the process of making shoes.C．To advertise a new kind of shoes.D．To stress the importance of environmental protection.3.（8分）CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers，he used two buckets(水桶).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. The old bucket felt very ashamed(惭愧的)because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked(渗漏)along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say，"See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me water the flowers every day! I don’t know why he still uses 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 both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back，and 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 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.7．What was the old bucket ashamed of?A．Its past.B．Its aging.C．Its manner.D．Its leaking. 8．What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?A．Dirty.B．Dark.C．Worn out.D．Ordinary-looking.9．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A．take pity on the old one B．laugh at the old oneC．show off its good look D．praise the gardener's kindness10．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A．Because it was used to keep a balance.B．Because it stayed in its best condition.C．Because it had its own advantage.D．Because it was thought of as a treasure.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）二：七选五（每小题2分，满分10分）When the winter comes, millions of Americans realize they don’t feel as happy as usual, and may be depressed If you’re one of them, you may be suffering from “seasonal affective disorder” or SAD, whose symptoms include exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, body aches and pains, and a loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. 11．Take extra Vitamin D．Researchers at the University of Georgia analyzed more than 100 articles that examined the link between Vitamin D and depression.

Below are some of my favorite dark sky destinations around the world.The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, New ZealandThe Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve is one of the best places in the country to view the night sky. Comprised of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Basin of Aotearoa New Zealand's South Island, the Dark Sky Reserve was certified in 2012 to continue protecting the dark skies in the area.Stargazing(天体观察)enthusiasts should plan a visit to Mt John Observatory, tours of which must be booked in advance.The Wild Atlantic Way, IrelandMost visitors go to Ireland's western Wild Atlantic Way to explore beyond hot spots like Dublin and Cork, but the route is also fast becoming a great region for stargazing, thanks to the efforts of local communities along the Way.If planning a trip, keep in mind that Ireland does have wet months where overcast skies are more likely to affect your stargazing prospects.Wadi Rum, JordanWadi Rum is also sometimes called "The Valley of the Moon", though you're more likely to compare it to Mars if you visit it. Famous for its otherworldly landscapes in movies like Prometheus, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Martian, Wadi Rum's towering red rock formations are extremely interesting to explore by day, and offer protection from any distant light pollution once the sun sets.Stargazing in Wadi Rum is a breathtaking experience and reminds us how our ancestors have experienced the night sky for thousands of years.21. What might be a disadvantage of stargazing inIreland?A. Conservation efforts.B. Heavy tourism.C. Customer service.D. Local climate.22. What sets Wadi Rum apart from the other dark sky destinations?A. Unusual landscapes.B. Ancestors' experiences.C. Its geographical location.D. Its local film studios.23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To compare things.B. To inform readers.C. To warn readers.D. To announce something.BLee hyun-seok grew up in South Korea addicted to Japanese manga (漫画) series such as “Dragon Ball” and “Slam Dunk”. As soon as he could, he migrated to Tokyo to build a successful career as a manga artist and editor. Then in the early 2000s came “webtoons”（网络漫画）, a South Korean cartoon innovation optimized for smartphones. Mr. Lee was at first unimpressed. Compared with manga’s inventive graphic styles and profound plots, he found webtoons just the opposite.Yet Japanese manga is being eclipsed（黯然失色）by Korean webtoons. Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to ¥265bn ($1.9bn). The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn. Manga is going digital slowly, in part because it is still designed for print, so awkward to read on smartphones. Seeing which way the wind was blowing, Mr. Lee abandoned manga for the webtoon industry in 2014.Though webtoons such as “Itaewon Class” and “Solo Levelling” have become popular among Japanese consumers, most Japanese publishers have stuck stubbornly to manga. “The Japanese industry is very conservative,” sighs Mr. Lee. The manga industry’s business model, in which stories are first published in weekly magazines and then in books, has hardly changed since the 1960s. Webtoons have grown so fast, in part because they can be read more easily. Other recent South Korean exports, such as the Netflix sensation “Squid Game” and BTS, a boy band, have taken the world by storm thanks to the same combination of innovation and smart marketing behind webtoons.Some are concerned about the future. Japan’s manga fans are, like all its population, aging. The average reader of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, a manga for children launched in 1989, is now over 30. “Manga could end up as old people’s culture,” warns Mr Lee. “Children these days are viewing through webtoons on their smartphones. Why not make something that suits their taste?”24. What did Mr Lee think of “webtoons” in the early 2000s?A. He considered it as inventive.B. He considered it as attractive.C. He considered it as original.D. He considered it as shallow.25. Why does the author mention numbers in paragraphs 2 ?A. To confirm the advantages of smartphones.B. To share the popularity of Japanese manga.C. To introduce the influence of webtoons industry on Japanese manga.D. To compare Mr. Lee’s career as an artist and an editor.26. What can we learn from Japanese manga?A. Japanese manga can be read more easily.B. Since the 1960s, the manga has grown so fast.C. The manga industry is unwilling to transform.D. “Squid Game” was adopted from Japanese manga.27. What is Mr. Lee’s attitude towards manga’s future?A. Worried.B. Aggressive.C. Confident.D. Annoyed.CAs athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It's called the video replay.The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you've been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it's not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don't you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games? I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those sameviews need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.28. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2?A. The video replay has been widely used.B. League games have become competitive.C. Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.D. People are showing more interest in sports than before.29. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Tricking.B. Promoting.C. Damaging.D. Restoring.30. What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game?A. They relied a lot on the video replay.B. They cared too much about details.C. They were definitely stressed out.D. They were terribly disqualified.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Video replays: high-end technology in sportsB. Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports?C. Officiating: a duty that requires honestyD. What do qualified referees really mean?DOne key element of human language is semantics(语义). Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations (发声) were involuntary, reflecting the emotional state of the animal without conveying any other information. But over the last four decades, numerous studieshave shown that various animals have distinct calls with specific meanings.Many bird species use different alarm calls. Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their baby birds to get down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends them jumping out of the nest entirely. Siberian jays vary their calls depending on whether an enemy is seen looking for food or actively attacking—and each call gets a different response from other nearby birds.Two recent studies suggested that the order of some birds' vocalizations may impact their meaning. Though the idea is still controversial, this could represent a basic form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax (句法), as illustrated by the classic "dog bites man" vs. "man bites dog" example.Even if some birds share basic aspects of human language, we still know very little about what’s actually going on in their minds. Most animal communication research has focused on describing signals and behavior, which on the surface can look a lot like human behavior. Determining if the underlying cognitive(认知的) processes driving the behavior are also similar is much more challenging, as at the heart of this question is intentionality: Are animals merely reacting to their environment, or do they intend to convey information to one another?32. What was scientists’ long-held belief about animal vocalizations?A. They conveyed no emotion.B. They were semantically related.C. They varied greatly with species.D. They expressed no intended meaning.33. How does the author develop paragraph 2?A. By listing data.B. By giving examples.C. By providing definition.D. By making comparison.34. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. What birds’ vocalizations mean.B. How rules govern human language.C. What the two recent studies indicate.D. How bird’s vocalizations are combined.35. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Shared aspects of human and birds’ languages.B. Focus of most animal communication research.C. Underlying cognitive processes of birds’ vocalizations.D. Insufficient knowledge about birds’ communication intentionally.第二节根据短文内容,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.（共5小题,每小题2.5分,共12.5分）Revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡眠拖延症) refers to the decision to delay sleep in response to stress or a lack of free time earlier in the day. The addition of the word “revenge”, by the Chinese, to the concept of bedtime procrastination became popular on social media. 36Both language versions reflect frustration tied to long, stressful work hours that left little time for personal enjoyment.People who engage in bedtime procrastination know and generally want to receive enough sleep.37 This is known as an intention-behavior gap.Bedtime procrastination can cause sleep deprivation (缺乏). 38 Not getting enough sleep affects thinking, memory, and decision-making. Sleep deprivation also raises the risk of daytime sleepiness, which can harm productivity and academic achievement while increasing the risks of sleeping driving.39 It causes difficulties in regulating emotions. It’s also been connected to mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. It is also discovered that sleep deprivation worsens physical health, making people more easily to suffer from illnesses. Ongoing sleep loss consequences can build up over time. Therefore, it contributes to significant long-term health problems.The best solution for bedtime procrastination is creating good sleep patterns and a good sleeping environment. 40A. But they fail to actually do so.B. The Chinese are noted for working long hours.C. A lack of sleep is tied to mental and physical health.D. But remember that it will take more than one night to truly get into good sleep habits.E. We struggle to stay productive during the day to make up for the loss.F. Without enough hours of sleep, the mind and body can’t properly recharge.G. The English term “revenge bedtime procrastination” appeared from a translation of this expression.第三部分语言知识运用(共三节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文各题所给的A、B、C 和D四个选项中,选出可填入空白处的最佳选项.Dr Max is a thoughtful and devoted expert.

Without his mother knowing, Andy had been saving up his pocket money for months to buy her a birthday present. He had collected a total of $25.As a cleaner at a nearby park, Emily never took a bus, choosing to walk to and from work to save money. One day, Andy noticed that her mother came home wet to the skin. She told him her umbrella broke because of the strong wind and she wanted to get home in time to have dinner with him.The following day, his mother woke up with a fever. “Mom, I’m sure you have to stay in bed today” Andy told her. “I’ll look after you. Here is your medicine,” he said, handing her a glass of water. Then, Andy left the house and walked towards the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables with which to cook some so up for his mother.It occurred to him that his mother’s birthday was in a couple of days, so he decided to get his mother an umbrella first and spend the rest of his money on food.“What is your strongest umbrella here, sir?” he asked the shop assistant. “I am looking for one that won’t break easily.” The man showed Andy a variety of umbrellas. Andy believed the purple one would be the best choice, his mother’s favorite color. It was $22. Andy almost jumped with joy! The boy was happy that he managed to lend his mom a hand by finding her something she really needed. Also, he even had some money to re!Stepping out of the shop with the gift and vegetables in his shopping bag, Andy realized it was starting to rain.

Without hesitation, he took the umbrella out of his bag and ran over.Paragraph1：The old lady looked up and realized an umbrella was sheltering her from the rain. She cast him an appreciative look with a beam of delight." Thank you. And by the way, it’s wise to get an umbrella before the rain started pouring," she said. Andy shook his head, telling her that his mom’s umbrella was broken, and he wanted to get her a new one she could use for years." I didn’t expect that. But it must be very nice to have a caring boy like you," she replied, helping Andy to wipe off the raindrops on the umbrella.

高二12月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计4小题，总分30分）1.（6分）AA famous magazine, Amusement Today, does a survey among parks lovers every year both in the US and overseas, based on which, “Top 5 List of the Best Amusement Parks in the World” has come out as follows:Disneyland, CaliforniaDisneyland is a theme park in Anaheim, California, the US. More than 515 million guests have traveled to this American landmark from around the world since the park first opened to guests on July 17, 1955. The park consists of many world-famous sections, such as Main Street, Adventure land, New Orleans Square, and so on.Magic Kingdom, Disney World, FloridaMagic Kingdom is a theme park within the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando opened on October 1, 1971. It is the most famous theme park in Florida. The park’s design and attractions don’t make much difference from Disneyland Park in Anaheim.EPCOT, Disney World, FloridaEPCOT is the second theme park built at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. The park opened on October 1, 1982, and was named EPCOT Center from 1982 to 1993. It was the largest Disney theme park in the world until 1998, when Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened.Disney-MGM Studios, FloridaMGM’s streets are the home for some great movie-themed attractions with a history of less than 30years. With the addition of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and the Rock and Roller Coaster, the park is now home to Disney World’s most thrilling rides.Universal Studios, FloridaGo behind the scenes, beyond the screen and jump right into the action of your favoritemovies at Universal Studios, the number one movie and TV theme park in the world. 1．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To attract tourists to these theme parks.B．To introduce world’s best amusement parks.C．To increase the sales of Amusement Today.D．To compare attractions in different theme parks.2．Which of the following theme parks have similar attractions?A．Disneyland & Universal Studios.B．EPCOT & Disney-MGM Studios.C．Disneyland & Magic Kingdom.D．Magic Kingdom & Universal Studios.3．Which park has the longest history?A．Disneyland, California.B．Magic Kingdom, Disney World, Florida.C．EPCOT, Disney World, Florida.D．Disney-MGM Studios, Florida.2.（8分）BIf you thought pilots dimmed（调暗）the lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts toa dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” timesince you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky. 4．The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.A．escape in time of emergencyB．take a short breakC．create a comfortable atmosphereD．enjoy themselves5．Which of the following is true according to Paragragh 2 and 3?A．Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.B．Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.C．Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.D．It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.6．What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A．Slowing down the landing.B．Adjusting the plane lights.C．Keeping passengers calm.D．Helping the crew judge outside risks.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A tip to make air travel safer.B．An emergency event happening on a plane.C．An explanation of an airline safety measure.D．A warning message from the pilot.3.（8分）CHundreds of villagers took matters into their own hands by digging miles of trenches（沟壕）to install their own cables(电缆). The tiny village in Michaelston-y-Fedw, with a populationof 300, clubbed together after being unable to download films, stream music or connect to online banking. Farmers, teachers and even the village pub owners put in thousands of hours of volunteering to dig miles of trenches and now have super fast broadband(宽带).The project cost around ￡250,000 with villagers paying￡150,000 of their own money to secure their super fast connection speed. They were also able to obtain￡100,000 from EU funding and the Welsh Government Access Broadband Cymru scheme.The idea was produced in the local pub when villagers were complaining about their Wi-Fi connections. Ben Longman, owner of the Cefn Mably Arms, said, “We were in the pub and we were all complaining about how bad the Wi-Fi was. I had just paid for high speed broadband and realized it would not work.”One of the organizers, Carina Dunk, 61, said it was fantastic what the village had achieved. She said, “It used to take a few days to download a film; now it takes less than a minute. Communities have tended to be more distant and separated but not here anymore. Sometimes we have to take a step back and achieve something.”A year after the project, most of the 300 villagers are now united in a 1,000mps broadband connection.However, Richard Raybould, 59, is still waiting for his house to be connected on the edge of the village and said he cannot wait. He said, “It is amazing what skills people in the community have. There are experts and farmers who dig trenches. I have met at least 30 people who I had never spoken to before.”8．What can we learn about the villagers?A．They had no access to the Internet.B．They usually didn’t have much free time.C．They didn’t know how to use the Internet correctly.D．They considered their Internet connection disappointing.9．To have their own cables, the villagers had to_______.A．partly cover the costB．employ workers to dig trenchesC．donate ￡100,000 to EU fundingD．get the local government’s permission10．What does the author intend to do by mentioning Carina Dunk’s words?A．Explain the cause of the project.B．Explain the process of the project.C．Show the benefits from the project.D．Show the villagers’ attitudes toward the project.11．What would be the best title for the text?A．Villagers obtain access to the InternetB．Villagers dream of super fast broadbandC．Villagers volunteer to install super fast broadbandD．Villagers are suffering from bad Wi-Fi connections4.（8分）DWhy are photos and videos of cats high-fiving suddenly popping up on social media?Ask Jackson Galaxy, who launched Cat Pawsitive last year, a program that encourages animal shelters to teach cats how to do tricks to make them more attractive for adoption.The idea is simple. A kitty that can sit on command or give a high five shows that it can listen to instructions and connect with others. A high five can make a shy cat open up, Galaxy said.“Big life changes can lead to cats losing their confidence, and we help those cats to feel more confident and to feel safe interacting with new people.” Christie Rogero, program manager for Cat Pawsitive, said.And Stephen Holdeman, training manager at the KC Pet Project, added: “All we need to train a cat to do tricks is the right amount of patience, timing and motivation.” He uses a technique called “operant conditioning (操作性条件反射)”, which associates a cat’s action with getting a reward such as a favorite food or treat.He also uses a clicker—a training device that makes a clicking noise. “In the initial stage, we get the cat used to the idea that when it hears the sound of the clicker, one of its favorite treats appears. After we have bridged these two ideas together we can use the clicker to reinforce different actions the cat does to let it know that if it repeats the action, it will get a treat.”After several repetitions, the cat starts to link everything together. Now all you need to do is let your extended hand be the target, and we’ve got a high five.12．According to the text, how can learning tricks benefit cats at animal shelters?A．It is a good way for shelters to raise money.B．It allows them to pick up skills to stay safe.C．It helps them interact more with each other.D．It helps them build confidence and get adopted.13．According to the text, what should be done from the start to train cats to learn tricks? A．Teaching them different actions.B．Teaching them how to use a clicker.C．Making them patient enough to repeat actions.D．Helping them connect the sound of a clicker with treats.14．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A．record B．strengthenC．ignore D．reward15．What is the main purpose of the article?A．To explain how to train cats to perform tricks.B．To show how cats are treated at animal shelters.C．To describe the popularity of cats on social media.D．To inform us of a program that trains cats to do tricks.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的A-G选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a high chance of stopping attending school. in the earlygrades especially, experts say youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than alone so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. “When children work together, to disagree, to coorperate, to take turns and decrease tensions. These skills can’t be learned t hrough lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills.”At certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by a home clock but by the outside world. Just as the 1-year-old struggle to walk, 6-year-old are struggling to meet adult expectations. Young kids don’t know how to tell effort and ability apart, says Tynette Hills, c oordinator(协调员)of early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey. If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to finish a particular task.

At 2,999m,Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom's highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018，finding it to be about three metres shy of Jabal Ferwa.For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto ,California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a need for accuracy and love for mountaineering. "If we're going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain," we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain, Matthew said. "We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to."The twins' love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT），they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012，after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.4、What can we learn about Jabal Sawda？A.It's Saudi Arabia's best place.B.It's lower than Jabal Ferwa.C.It's Saudi Arabia's highest peak.D.It's better-known than Jabal Ferwa.5、Why have the twins traveled to different countries in past years？A.To write books about mountains.B.To rename the peaks of mountains.C.To measure their highest mountain.D.To admire good views of the mountain.6、What do Matthew's words indicate about their work in paragraph 3？A.It satisfies their need for accuracy.B.It deepens their love for climbing.C.It makes them focus their efforts on life.D.It helps climbers choose their destination.7、What might the following paragraph talk about？A.The twins' other goals in their life.B.The twins' experiences in other countries.C.The twins' influence on other mountaineers.D.The twins' achievements in finding peaks.Electric bicycles have established themselves as an important mode of transportation worldwide, and their fame continues to improve as the electric vehicle revolution (革命) is slowly spreading over the world. Embracing the advantages of electric bikes not only benefits the economy but also improve the general well-being of the population.Germany, in particular, has witnessed a remarkable upswing in the e-bike industry, displaying no signs of slowing down despite initial hesitations earlier this year. In May, favorable weather made it more convenient to ride e-bikes, which contributed to the increase of e-bike sales. By the end of May this year, Germany had produced over one million electric bikes, marking a significant five-percent growth compared to the same period last year. This growth is particularly impressive considering the challenging economic climate the country has faced.Burkhard Stock, the Managing Director of the Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), discussed this unbelievable turn of events in a report published by German e-bike publicationthe first half of the year. However, it turned out that a positive change in the industry wasseen in May.ZIV, a famous organization in the German and international bicycle industries, plays a key role as a governing body and major stakeholder (股东) in the European e-bike field. About 90 percent of all electric bikes produced by German companies are made by ZIV member companies. Their presence ensures the industry’s steady growth and development.In addition to the market within the country, German-made electric bicycles have gone to other parts of the world. In the first quarter of this year, an astonishing 190, 000 electric bikes were sold abroad, meaning a significant 28-percent increase compared to the previous year. A majority of these electric bikes were transported to European Union and European Free Trade Association member countries. It is expected that the German e-bike market will produce a total of two million electric bicycles by the end of this year.8、What resulted in a better e-bike market in May?A. Effective marketing strategies.B. Favorable turn of economic climate.C. Improved environmental awareness.D. Weather conditions suitable for cycling.9、What does the underlined word “anticipated” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Prevented.B. Guaranteed.C. Encountered.D. Expected.10、What do the numbers of German-made e-bikes in the last paragraph show?A. A greater demand for electricity.B. A complete hold of the global market.C. A strong export performance of e-bikes.D. A higher political rank in the United Nations.11、Which part does this text probable appear on the website?A. Travel.B. Industry.C. Sport.D. Advertisement.I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.Dogs help people in lots of ways, but service dogs are different from working dogs, therapy (治疗) dogs, and emotional support animals. Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert (警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way. Service dogs have lots of different skills, depending on the disability they are trained for.No matter how you get a service dog, they usually go through a tough training program with an experienced trainer. In the last month of training, the service dog spends time with you and the instructor. The instructor teaches the dog to help you, and tells you how to command, handle, and care for the dog.Service dogs need obeying skills and other very special skills. When you think about how to get a service dog, consider finding one with relevant characters. They should be calm, be able to learn and hold onto information. To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.It’s important to keep your dog healthy so that they can best help you. Give your dog access to plenty of fresh water and a balanced diet, and keep their vaccinations (疫苗) updated. Yearly visits to the vet are also important to make sure you catch any changes in your dog’s health.12、Why does the author mention Yang in paragraph 1?A. To show his emotions.B. To present a mystery.C. To describe his daily life.D. To introduce the main topic.13、Who is advised to keep a service dog?A. A healthy animal lover.B. A person with sight disability.C. A person requiring emotional support.D. A policeman performing a special task.14、Which of the following is among the basic skills for a service dog?A. Helping the owner to remain calm.B. Learning to analyzing information.C. Focusing on disturbing surroundings.D. Handling different situations and areas.15、What is the suitable title of the text?A. Caring for AnimalsB. Helping the DisabledC. Keeping a Service DogD. Training a Special Dog二、七选五16、In troubled times, awareness of the beauty in our lives can help recover our minds and bodies and restore our hope. ①______ Psychologist Christopher Peterson has found that a high appreciation of beauty helps people recover from anxiety and depression.

According to a study whichwas published on March 16 in the journal PLOS Genetics, people who live in a placewith warm and moist conditions commonly have wider noses while those that live in cold and dry locations have narrower noses.Mark Shriver, a geneticist and anthropologist（人类学家)at Pennsylvania State University, together with his team of international researchers from the United States,Ireland and Belgium, measured and compared noses across populations using 3D facial imaging.The study is not the first one to identify the relationship between nose shape and air temperature and moisture content. However, it is the first one to use nose measurement from actual people.“Many people have tested the question with measurements of the skull, but no one had done measurements on live people, " said lead author Mark Shriver from Pennsylvania State University.As reported by Science Recorder, all in all, faces of 476 from four geographical locations —West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe were used in the study. However, their ancestry genetic measurements were also taken into consideration.The researchers concluded that while the differences in nose shape were indeed inluenced by genetie drift, which refers to the change in frequency of certain genes due to deaths and movement of people across borders,natural selection also played its role.Narrower nasalpassages assist in increasing the moisture content of air and warm it.Since peopl e with narrower ones adapted better,they survived more and therefore produced more offspring. As such,there is a gradual decrease in people with wider nose in the area.24.People in the South of China generally tend to________.A.have wider noseB.have narrower noseC.be more easygoingD.enjoy dry and cold weather25.How did Marker's researchers do their research?A.By studying the skulls.B.By doing research online.C.By measuring noses of the people.D.By offering more moisture for people26.Which of the following can influence nose shapes?A.Body height.B.Local tradition.C.Local climateD.Body weight.27.What are people with narrow nose able to do?A.Raise more of their children.B.Adapt to cold weather better.C.Survive in hot weather conditionsD.Keep their ancestry from their parents.8.（8分） CKannisto and her six sons visited a local barber' s shop to have their hair cut and donatedit to an organization that provides hair replaeements for kids with medically related hair loss.Kannisto has a l0-year-old son, Andre, 8-year-old twin sons, 5-year old triplets and a 2-year-old daughter.Kannisto said the motivation behind the haircuts was personal for the whole family.“Three years ago, my friend lost her son to cancer, " she said.“He was a twin and very close in age to my twins. On the first anniversary of his passing. my three oldest boys donated theirhair in his memory. Since their donation two years ago, our lives have continued to be touched by cancer. It's everywhere. My boys want to help, and donating their hair is how they do it.”Her three oldest sons participated in donating for the first time in 2015.The donation afew days ago marked the first time her triplets were able to contribute. Kannisto said they waited until everyone’s hair reached the minimum length for donations before they all got their haircuts. It took quite some time for everyone to be ready.Andre grew his hair out for a year, the twins grew their hair for almost two years and the triplets grew their hair for five years. They're already planning their next donation, too, since their little sister wants to participate.Her hair wasn't long enough to donate this time.She said her sons had been teased a lot for their long hair since they decided to grow it outand donate it. They explain the process of hair donation to their peers, but some of them just don't get it. Luckily, her sons have developed “a thick skin” and ignore the criticism,knowing they 're helping others in need.Kannisto is “so proud” of her boys and thinks that their mission is“amazing.”28. What does the underlined word “triplets”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Three sons.B.Many relatives.C. Kids with hair loss.D. Children with caneer.29.What is the reason for Kannisto's sons donating their hair?A.Both fame and wealth.B. Their personal cure to cancer.C. Their memory of a lost friend.D. Modeling themselves on their parents.30.Why did the Kannistos have to wait before the donation?A. The little sister's hair was too short.B. Every child's hair grows at different rates.C. It's long before somebody wants their hair.D. They must find a right barber to have their hair cut.31. What is Kannisto's children's attitude towards others'tease?A. Inspired.B. Annoyed.C. Desperate.D. Indifferent.9.（8分）DWhether a single parent or otherwise, bringing up a child can be quite a discouraging experience as well as being a lot of fun. As a parent myself, I wanted my child to have the lifeI never had, so I enrolled my daughter in all types of activities such as dancing, piano lessons，theatre groups and sports acti vities. I had her privately tutored for maths and even looked into private schooling. While all of this is good for developing a child's confidence, it's no guarantee that the child will grow to fit your expectations in later life.In some cases a child may inwardly resent(憎恶)the pressure of being involved in so many things all at once, and become bored over a period of time. One of the best ways toreally encourage your child to do well in life is to be the example for them. Children usually follow in the footsteps of their parents or at least one of them.This is how family businesses are handed down through generations.Believe it or not, the parent is the greatest mentor(导师)and influence in the life of a child. It's interesting to note that they judge their own measure by that of their parents even if they don't get along with them, it takes place unconsciouslyYoung minds will follow their mentors such as parents and teachers. So it's not surprising that if you sign yourself into adult education classes.chances are your child will be keen to follow you even if it' s later in their life.Leading by example is the best way to educatechildren of all ages.It's not difficult when children get to know your movements.Children will almost always judge themselves on what their parents do. The strongest influences are in and around what you do in the home and even outside of it, so make sure your ticking all the right boxes yourself and it's a win situation.32 According to the text, what the author had done for her daughter ________.A. proved to be of little valueB. resulted in great suecessC. greatly influenced her later lifeD. cost the author too much money33. How are some family businesses handed down from parents to children?A. Children are interested in the businesses.B. Children follow in the parents'footsteps.C. Parents allow the children to run the businesses.D. Children have received enough education.34. How should we educate our children?A.Read to them successful storiesB. Set good examples to them.C. Find them qualified mentorsD. Let them gain different experienees35. Why should parents behave themselves well?A. Children hate too much pressures on them.B.

Tourists can explore this historic cottage with guided tours.William WordsworthIf, like the 19th-century Romantic poet William Wordsworth, the sight of a field of golden daffodils (水仙花) has ever cheered your lonely hours, visit Dove Cottage in Grasmere.

And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher initiated(发起) Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green ce are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. "The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks," she says. "They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful." Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.Urban Sprouts' classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year，students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently," Jaramillo says.She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested ingardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. "They get outside," she says, "and they feel successful."4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?B.Shee used to be a health worker. B.She grew up in a low-income family.D.Shee owns a fast food restaurant. D.She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?A.TheB.Studentsnts distrusted her. B.Students had little time for her classes.C.Some kids disliked garden work.D. There was no ce for school gardens.6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?A.Far-reaching.B. Predictable.C. Short-lived.D. Unclear7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.RescuingB.Growingardens B.Growing Vegetable LoversC. Experiencing Country LifeD. Changing Local LandscapeCMany people confuse hard-working people with workaholics(工作狂). How could a person tell that he/ she is a workaholic? A workaholic works long hours, at the expense of personal relationships and health. When not working, they're thinking about work. Work influences their mood: When work is going well, they're up; when work is going less well, they're down.Working, or simply being busy, can be a hard habit to break. When workaholics aren't busy working—or doing something to promote their work—they feel anxious and guilty. They hang onto jobs for dear life and do everything they can to make sure they're essential.There is a link between health problems and workaholism. Just because work itself is a respectable pursuit doesn't mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of addictions. A number of studies show that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety and heart disease.Besides health problems, being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well. A study published in the American Journal of Family Therapy found that working too much negatively influenced an employee's marriage. This isn't surprising,since if you're married to your work it can be difficult to be married to anything or anyone else. There have also been studies looking at theirinfluence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn't good. Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression(抑郁) and anxiety and a weaker sense of self.However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards. For many,it's how they develop feelings of self-worth, confidence and purpose. If you have a workaholic in your life you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it's a child's soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a solution.8.What can we infer about workaholics from paragraph 1?A. They usually have a life outside work.B.They put work in the first place.C. They win respect from their workmates.D. They are under pressure from work.9.What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about?A. Bad results of workaholism.B.Reasons for being workaholics.C. How people deal with their addictions.D. How hard-working people differ from workaholics.10. What can we do to help workaholics in life?A.Reward them for their hard work.B. Force them to join family activities.C. Help them find self-worth and confidence.D.Try to understand and support them.11. What is the author's attitude toward working hard?A. Curious.B.Negative.C. Doubtful.D. Objective.DNext time you raise an eyebrow(眉毛) at the views of your friend, brother, sister or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter. New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.Scientific consensus(共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes,with environmental age.Afteruch as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age.After this point, IQ scores become steady. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation(刺激) from other people is important as the"brain seems to be rather like a muscle-the more you use it, the stronger it gets". However, the opposite is also true-so people who share a home or workplace with their intellectually challenged risk seeing their IO level nosedive as a result.Professor Flynn analysed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables". He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equality bright brothers and sisters. However, children with a low IQ could get six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about more.Heintelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ,or allow it to fall, by ten points or more.He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialise with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.12.According to the text, it is commonly believed thatA.people's IQ level falls as they ageB.it B.it is wise to share family members' viewsC.adults cannot improve their intelligenceD. doing something challenging is good for one's intelligence13. What does the underlined word “nosedive" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Differ.B. Develop.C. Change.D.Fall.14. Which of the following can help improve one's intelligence according to Professor Plynn?A. Making many friends.B. Staying with smart people.C. Doing exercise every day.D. Learning from brothers or sisters.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Bright People Make You SmarterB.Genes Determines IntelligenceC. Brain Is Like MuscleD. Many Factors Influence Intelligence第二节(共5小题; 每小题3分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt asecond language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference."Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language," said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link betweenbilingualism and maths skills．"Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的), "he said．"You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34．Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better．"Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world," explained the scientists.13.The main subject talked about in this passage is ______ .A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．1anguage can help brain powerD．1anguage learning and maths study14．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______ .A．say language is also a kind of physical laborB．prove that one needs more practice when he(she) is learning a languageC．to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well15．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ______ .A．a researcher on language learningB．a person who is good at learning foreign languagesC．a person who can speak two languagesD．an active language learner二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）第二节七选五（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
