You may use your own experiences or examples from others to illustrate your point.Example Essay:In today’s fast-paced world, perseverance often serves as the key to unlocking the door to success. Achieving goals, whether academic,professional, or personal, requires unwavering dedication and resilience.I personally have witnessed the power of perseverance in my journey to mastera foreign language. Initially, the task seemed daunting, with its complexgrammar rules and vast vocabulary. However, through consistent effort and perseverance, I gradually overcame these challenges. Each day, I dedicated myself to reading, listening, and speaking, never giving up despite the difficulties. Over time, my efforts paid off, and I found myself fluent in the language.This experience taught me that perseverance is not just about enduring hardship; it’s about turning challenges into opportunities. It’s about believing in oneself, even when the going gets tough. In conclusion, perseverance is a vital trait for anyone aspiring to achieve their goals, as it transforms dreams into realities.(Note: This is a sample essay to illustrate the structure and content of the writing task.

With a backpack filled with necessaries and a heart full of hope, I set off to hike the ancient ways of the nearby mountains.The first day was a test of strength as I climbed sharp paths under the burning sun. My legs ached, and my lungs burned with every breath. But with each step, I felt a growing sense of achievement. As the sun set below the view, I set up my tent beside a gentle stream, where the cool water comforted my tired body.Alone with my thoughts, I found myself reflecting on my life’s journey. The challenges I had faced and the victories I had won flashed before my eyes. I realized that, like the mountains, I had peaks (山峰) and valleys — times of struggle and success.On the third day, I met with a fellow traveler, an elderly man who had hiked these paths for many years. He shared stories of his adventures and offered wisdom that resonated (产生共鸣) with my heart. We walked together for a while, our footsteps mixing with the sound of the wind.As the journey neared its end, I stood on the highest peak and the world spread out before me. I felt a deeper connection to the universe, a sense of belonging that I had never experienced before. At that moment, I understood that my true self was not just a part of me, but a part of everything around me.The hike back down was filled with a newfound sense of peace.

Its price starts at 19, 999 yuan. Huawei also introduced two new cars, the AITO M9 five-seat and the Zhijie R7, creating excitement across the tech industry.“This is the largest and thinnest phone in the world. My dream is to carry a tablet (平板) and a computer in my pocket,” said Y u Chengdong, the Executive Director, while showing the Mate XT on stage. Over the years, Huawei has made many improvements with different folding designs, including inward, outward, and vertical folds. The new triple-folding design not only changes the industry but also makes the types of smart cars unclear, turning science fiction intoreality.The Mate XT can change between single-screen, double-screen, and triple-screen modes, giving users a different experience.Experts believe that the launch of the Huawei Mate XT is a big step in folding screen technology, making it different from the upcoming iPhone 16. At the same time, the new Mate 70 series and the HarmonyOS system, expected later this year, are key parts of Huawei’s plan to enter the high-end market. Reports say pre-orders for the Mate XT have been very popular, with more than 4.3 million people signing up to buy it. Its rarity has already caused prices to rise in the second-hand market, with some selling for over 100,000 yuan, showing its high demand.Besides the smartphone launch, Huawei also broadened the possibilities of smart transportation by introducing two leading smart cars, the AITO M9 five-seat version and the Zhijie R7. These models show Huawei’s strong skills in self-driving technology and show the company’s promise to integrating (使一体化) AI into its products and changing the future of connected living. Together, these actions show Huawei’s open and creative way of welcoming the time of the Internet of Everything.8.What is the main feature of the Huawei Mate XT as described in the text?A.It can always be used as a tablet.B.It has a unique triple-folding design.C.It is the most expensive smartphone.D.It is the first foldable phone ever made. 9.What is Yu Chengdong’s dream about mobile devices?A.To make the largest smartphone in the world.B.To reduce the need for smartphones altogether.C.To have both a tablet and a computer in his pocket.D.To create a smartphone that can also be used as a car.10.What does the high demand of pre-orders for the Mate XT suggest?A.People are eager for creative devices.B.The smartphone market is getting full.C.Few people are interested in new technology.D.The need for expensive smartphones is going down.11.What do the new cars introduced by Huawei show?A.Huawei’s progress in phone technology.B.Huawei’s plan to lower the smart car prices.C.Huawei’s focus on traditional transportation methods.D.Huawei’s use of smart features and self-driving technology.High school can be challenging for everyone. You are going through an awkward time and you may either fit in right away or feel like a complete outcast. But no matter how well you may fit in (or not), joining a club will be helpful for you now and in the future.Joining a club is a great way to meet new friends, especially if you are new at school. Being in a club encourages you to talk to people who share the same interests with you. Even if you are the shyest person, you are sure to make friends with at least one person in the club you choose to join. From my own experience, I have made some of my best friends through after-school activities and have had many new opportunities.Another good thing about joining a club is that taking part in activities looks great on college applications. Being known as outgoing is an important quality (品质); it shows that you are willing to try new things and be determined. It can also help you build skills that you might need during a college interview.Many teens fight with staying productive. Most students go to school and then come home to spend the rest of the day in front of the TV or on their phones, but clubs help prevent this. Teens are also easily influenced, and if they join the wrong group, they might get into trouble. Clubs are a wonderful place to spend time with good friends who can support you if you need help.Perhaps the most important reason to join a club is the long-term benefits (益处) it provides. The classroom is not the only place to learn in a school. Meeting and talking to new people, managing your time, and staying organized are skills you will use every day in your life. 12.What might the underlined word “outcast” in paragraph 1 mean?A.A person who is popular.B.A person who is not smart.C.A person who is confident.D.A person who is not accepted.13.What do colleges think highly of according to the text?A.The number of clubs you have joined.B.The strong relationships you have built.C.The bright personality you have developed.D.The skills you have learned while forming a club.14.What benefit of joining a club is talked about in paragraph 4?A.Increasing the knowledge.B.Learning team working skills.C.Improving the fitness level.D.Making good use of the time.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Why should you join a club?B.What club should you join?C.Should you join a second club?D.How should you join a club you like?Tennis is a challenging and fun physical sport, and regular playing can help improve all physical and mental health. 16 .Improve mobility and grip (握力) strengthAs we age, our muscles naturally weaken and your bones can become more weak. 17 The repetitive movement and power during a tennis match can help make bones stronger. “People who keep their grip strength age more slowly. They stay healthier, live longer and are stronger throughout their bodies,” says doctor Ardeshir Hashmi, who specializes in older people’s health.Lower your chance of heart problemsThe physical activities in tennis, which include both aerobic (有氧运动) and anaerobic activities, help the heart and blood flow. Similarly, swimmers lowered their chance of heart disease or stroke (中风) by 41 percent. 18 . Again running, football and rugby have no big influence on heart deaths. However, playing tennis three hours a week can lower your chance of heart disease by over 50%, according to the United States Tennis Association (USTA). In summary, playing tennis regularly is a great way to stay healthy.19Tennis, unlike working out alone at the gym, running outside or swimming, requires you to interact with others. Tennis can bring different groups of people together through exercise in the community. Keeping strong social networks helps prevent mental health conditions like anxiety and loneliness, helping people feel happier into older age.If this sounds good to you, you’re in luck. 20 . So, it may just be the time to dust offyour racket.A.Have a sense of communityB.Improve the value of personal livingC.Grip strength can show how well you’re agingD.Tennis is popular among all ages and skill levelsE.Tennis has unique health benefits backed by researchF.And dance or gymnastics lowered their risk by 36 percentG.They become watchers rather than players in their chosen activity二、完形填空I was born in a very poor family. At first, my father didn’t let me attend 21 . I was always jealous (羡慕的) when my brother went to school each day. So, one day, when I was 5, I 22 him and hid under the teacher’s desk. She 23 me and sent me home. She 24 my father to put me in school. Much to my 25 , my father agreed.I loved learning, and I 26 moved to the top of my class. When I was 10, my father sent me to a 27 school outside our neighborhood, one that was mostly 28 by students from rich families. I was at the 29 of the list there, too.After high school, I hoped to be an architect engineer, but my father wanted me to study 30 science. After a childhood preparing meals for my family there was nothing I 31 more than cooking. I went in for a food science programme anyway and I discovered that food science wasn’t so 32 at all. Later, I received a Ph.D.in food science and 33 many national and international prizes.In my life, I’ve faced many 34 like hunger and poverty, but I didn’t let them hold me back. I hope others can take 35 from my story and realize that — though they may be facing challenges — they, too, can keep going and succeed.21.A.meeting B.work C.school D.party 22.A.missed B.stopped C.guided D.followed 23.A.left B.noticed C.taught D.examined 24.A.allowed B.advised C.forced D.expected25.A.sadness B.fear C.anger D.pleasure 26.A.quickly B.suddenly C.nearly D.recently 27.A.cheaper B.smaller C.closer D.better 28.A.run B.visited C.attended D.built 29.A.bottom B.center C.top D.back 30.A.food B.water C.earth D.air 31.A.wanted B.hated C.enjoyed D.begged 32.A.bad B.good C.easy D.difficult 33.A.took B.made C.won D.had 34.A.choices B.dangers C.tests D.challenges 35.A.encouragement B.enjoyment C.warning D.training三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B.A.R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B.A.R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B.A.R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1.What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A.Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B.Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C.Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D.The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2.Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B.A.R. K?A.To help students to fight against homesickness.B.To do research on dogs and train them to be pets.C.To help more professors to do exercise on campus.D.To give assistance to the pet dogs by offering them foods.3.Which university doesn’t allow students to keep pets?A.Harvard University. B.University of Oxford.C.University of Illinois. D.University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones.

However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9.What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A.An invisible chair.B.An old chair.C.A real chair.D.Nothing.10.Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A.To see whether Mario could sit on it. B.To test who were Mario’s true friends.C.To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D.To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11.How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A.He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B.He managed to sit on the chair finally.C.His friends held him up with their hands. D.His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12.What does the story tell us?A.Never laugh at our friends. B.True friends can help us do magic.C.True friends are those who care for us. D.Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question:What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任):Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13.According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A.We will have no problems with studyB.We will get a better seat in the classroomC.We will get the best scores in the examsD.We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14.What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A.The happy time you have in the classroomB.Getting along very well with classmatesC.A better relationship between you and your teacherD.The disappearance of personality differences15.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The importance of friendship in schools.B.The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C.Studying skills for students.D.Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16.As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A.You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB.You are thought of as a good studentC.You know some basic social skillsD.You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分,共5分,根据短文内容,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In 2017, Wu Yibing became famous after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated (主导) by women’s success on the pro stage.In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the brutally (残酷地) competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple (多处) injuries — to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying (取得资格) for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the difficulties and struggles as an asset (资产) that helps me become better now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the rehab (康复) wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”4.What did Wu first start playing tennis for?A.Winning awards.B.Developing an interest.C.Killing time.D.Becoming thinner.5.Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years?A.He wanted to change his major.B.He suffered from serious physical injuries.C.He didn’t stand out in training for the match.D.He can’t deal with the pressure of the A TP Tour.6.What can we learn from Wu’s statement?A.No cross, no crown.B.Well begun is half done.C.More haste, less speed.D.Time waits for no man.7.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.The Development of Chinese TennisB.The Power of Difficulties for AthletesC.The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis SportD.The First Chinese Male Winner of ATPWhen people think about improving their physical fitness, they often neglect (忽视) balance. Good balance is a necessary part of being physically fit and key to living a long life, according to research. It’s important for everyone, no matter your age.Older adults are most affected by poor balance. Falls are the leading cause of injury and death for those 65 and older, with nearly 30% in this age group reporting at least one fall in 2018, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But younger adults frequently fall down, too.Forty-eight percent of young adults reported falling at least once during one 16-week study. The falls most commonly happened during sports activities, with women in the study reporting more falls and fall-related injuries than men.Falls within the previous two years were reported by 18% of young adults (ages 20 to 45) in another study published in the journal BMC Public Health. That figure (数据) compared with 21% of middle-aged adults (46 to 65) reporting falls and 35% of those over 65. While falls among young adults were often connected with sports, falls by the middle-aged group were typicallyrelated to health problems and physical changes.Many factors (因素) can affect your balance outside of age, such as vision changes, brain injuries, overweight and a general lack of physical fitness. Even if you have no risk factors, simply neglecting to work regularly on your balance will result in increased instability (不稳定性).“Our body is conditioned to lose what we don’t regularly use and practice, and balance is no different,” said Susan Baxter.8.What role does a good balance play in our lives?A.It helps us live a healthy and long life.B.It enables us to build a perfect shape.C.It protects us from getting seriously sick.D.It has the power to make us look young.9.How does the author show the research results?A.By having a discussion.B.By following the time order.C.By raising questions.D.By giving a list of figures.10.In which situation are young adults likely to fall down?A.When a health problem comes up.B.When working regularly.C.When a physical change appears.D.When joining in a sport.11.What can we learn from what Susan Baxter said?A.We’ll lose our balance if we don’t practise it often.B.Our body is used to working in its own way.C.We should manage our body properly.D.We are naturally born with balance.A new report from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) shows that global animal populations have dropped greatly since 1970. The report is based on information about 5,495 different species of animals around the world. The information was collected by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), which used it to create what it calls the “Living Planet Index” (LPI). The LPI focuses on vertebrates — animals with backbones, such as birds, fish, and mammals. The LPI report shows that between 1970 and 2020, the average size of these populations dropped by 73%.The LPI can be a little perplexing. It doesn’t show the change in the total number ofanimals on the planet. Instead, it shows the average change in the size of animal populations since 1970. For example, if one species dropped from 1,000 animals to 500, that’s a 50% drop. If another species dropped from 100,000 to 50,000, that’s also a 50% drop. The number of animals lost in the second population is much higher, but they would both count as a 50% drop for the LPI. But even if the numbers aren’t perfect, scientists agree that animal populations are dropping. And that’s a serious problem.The report shows that populations have dropped in all kinds of habitats (栖息地). Freshwater habitats, such as rivers and lakes, saw the biggest drop, averaging 85%, followed by land animals at 69%. In the oceans, the drop was56%. Geographically, Latin America experienced the greatest loss at 95%, while Africa’s animal populations fell by 76%, and Asia and the Pacific by 60%. Europe and North America had smaller drops, but they still saw a 33% drop since then.Human activities, including habitat destruction, farming, climate change, pollution, and over- hunting, are the primary cause. The WWF calls for urgent action to protect Earth’s wildlife, recommending that 30% of the world’s land, oceans, and freshwater be protected by 2030 and that humans change how they eat, farm, and produce energy.12.What does the LPI report show?A.The total number of animals on Earth.B.The habitats of different endangered animals.C.The average change in animal population sizes.D.The number of species that have already died out.13.What does the underlined word “perplexing” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Simple.B.Confusing.C.Exciting.D.Important.14.Based on the report, which region saw the largest average drop in animal populations?A.Europe.B.Latin America.C.North America.D.Asia and the Pacific.15.What recommendation does the WWF make to protect wildlife?A.Developing new farming technologies.B.Increasing the number of zoos worldwide.C.Introducing new animal species to endangered areas.D.Caring for the world’s land, oceans, and freshwater.If you live in a place that gets a good deal of snow and ice each winter, you already know what the next few months may hold: snowball fights, hot chocolate, and so on! 16 At the first sign of snow or ice in the forecast, drivers will be out spreading salt on the roadways. You may also see people spreading salt on their sidewalks and driveways.17 It helps prevent ice from forming on the pavement, making it much safer to drive during winter weather. Are you wondering how exactly salt makes the roads safer? You may have heard people say salt melts ice. However, the process is a bit more complicated than that. It has to do with a concept called freezing point depression (冰点降低).Liquid water (液态水) becomes frozen ice at 0℃. 18 When salt is added to water, it makes it harder for water molecules to freeze. In effect, this lowers the freezing point of water to about -9.4℃. Below that temperature, even roads that have been salted may be covered in ice.Salt offers a cheap and effective way of making roads safer during winter months. 19 Rock salt used to treat roads ends up in local bodies of water and even in ground water. In large quantities, this can reduce the amount of freshwater in an area and negatively impact plants and animals that rely on it.Salted roads may also be the cause of increased chloride (氯化物) levels in nearby lakes and rivers. 20 In addition, the salt is corrosive and can damage roads, bridges, and vehicles. These impacts have led some groups to advocate other solutions for icy roads, like sand. Some even suggest using sugar or juice in place of salt.A.This is its freezing point.B.Why do people put salt on roads in winter?C.Are you looking forward to winter weather?D.This chemical can do harm to plants and animals.E.However, it also has a negative effect on the environment.F.Of course, along with the snow, salt trucks become a common sight.G.The salt spread on roads and sidewalks often appears gray or brown.二、完形填空On Sunday, 30-year-old Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya set a new world record for the fastest marathon ever run by a woman, finishing in 2 hours, 9 minutes, and 56 seconds.

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19.Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20.What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21.Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22.The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23.What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24.What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25.According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26.What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29.What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life.

It discusses the invention of the printing press.In the mid-15th century, Johannes Gutenberg, a German goldsmith, made a revolutionary change to the world of publishing. He invented the printing press, which drastically altered the way books were produced and distributed. Before the printing press, books were copied by hand, a time-consuming and expensive process. The invention of the printing press allowed for the mass production of books, leading to an explosion in literacy and the spread of knowledge.Gutenberg’s printing press used movable type, which could be reused and rearranged to create different texts. This made the process of printing much faster and more efficient. The first book to be printed using this method was the Bible, which was completed in 1455. The widespread availability of the Bible and other religious texts led to a significant increase in religious literacy among the common people.The printing press also had a profound impact on the spread of science andtechnology. It allowed scientists to share their discoveries more quickly and widely, which accelerated the pace of innovation. The printing press was instrumental in the Renaissance, a period of great cultural and intellectual growth in Europe.1、What was the main impact of Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press?A、It increased the cost of book production.B、It made books more expensive for the general public.C、It significantly changed the way books were produced and distributed.D、It decreased the literacy rate among the common people.答案:C2、How did the printing press affect the production of books?A、It made books more difficult to produce.B、It required more manual labor to produce books.C、It allowed for the mass production of books.D、It made books more expensive to produce.答案:C3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of the printing press?A、An increase in religious literacy.B、The spread of science and technology.C、The decline of the Renaissance.D、A faster pace of innovation.答案:C4、What was the first book printed using Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press?A、The QuranB、The Declaration of IndependenceC、The Gutenberg BibleD、The Magna Carta答案:C第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The Rise of Social MediaIn the last decade, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives.

In the past, communication was limited to face-to-face interactions or letters. Now, with the advent of the internet and social media, we can connect with people across the globe in an instant. This rapid change has both positive and negative impacts.The positive aspects of technology are undeniable. It has made information more accessible, allowing us to learn new skills and stay updated with the latest news. It has also revolutionized the way businesses operate, increasing efficiency and productivity. However, there are also negative consequences.One of the major concerns is the impact on our social lives. Spending toomuch time online can lead to social isolation, as people may prefer virtual interactions to real-life ones. Additionally, the constant exposure to social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.Another issue is the potential for online fraud and cybercrimes. With so much personal information being shared online, individuals are at a higher risk of falling victim to scams and identity theft.Despite these challenges, many argue that the benefits of technology far outweigh the drawbacks.

A few minutes earlier, I was asleep in my nice, warm bed.My grandmother’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her first. While I stumbled(蹒跚) around in the smoke and darkness, my brother ran from room to room quickly, waking everyone in the house. The house. however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything the fire consumed(毁灭) it. We all made it outside before the flames destroyed every room.I stood there shivering(颤抖) while the fire destroyed my hooks, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mum cried. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things.As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my elder brother running to get help. I saw my grandmother and dad hugging together.I realised at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was important survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would survive without the things that were burning. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.I still think of that fire in the night that helped me to become who I am today. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we have. Love others. Help everyone. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place.4.

Some kids feel nervous on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and maybe even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick arou nd for a little while. Let’s find out more about going back to school.Most teachers kick off the school year by introducing themselves and talking about what you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class.When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Pay close attention so you’ll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question and what the rules are about visiting the restroom.You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day. But it’s a great day to make new friends, so try to say “hello” to the kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be g lad about what you did and so will your new friends!Most teachers let you pick your own seat on the first day, but by the second or third morning, they’ll have mapped out a seating plan. It’s a good idea to write down where your seat is in your notebook s o you don’t forget.Here are a few final tips for a fantastic(奇异的) first day: Get enough sleep. Have a healthy breakfast. Try your best. Develop good work habits, like writing down your assignments(作业) and handing in your homework on time. Take your time w ith schoolwork. If you don’t understand something, ask the teacher.8. In the second paragraph, the underlined phrase “kick off” most probably means “________”.A.jump over B.startC.talk about D.finish9.

Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the piece of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began giving out the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as sym bols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination (歧视) of his early life in America.There is another origin story. Los Anglos is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in L.A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese food. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie producer is located in the United States and it produces 4. 5million fortune cookies a day-an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American”. So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.12. What do we know about fortune cookies?A.They are as popular in China as in America.B.They are often added to the customers’ bill.C.They first appeared in America during WWIL.D.They contain pieces of paper with good wishes.13. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A.To make profits. B.To express thanks.C.To raise people’s spirits.D.To help people out of hardship.14. Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’s cookies?A.Each exit is an entrance to new experiences.B.I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.C.Only taste fortune cookies; forget all others.D.The fortune that you seek is not in this cookie.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Can Fortune Cookies Tell Your Fortune? B.A Symbol of Chinese CultureC.Fortune Cookies, Chinese or American? D.Chinese Restaurants in AmericaHow to Make FriendsHaving friends may keep you healthier and help you deal with difficulties better. It is not very hard to make friends. Continue reading to find out how to make friends.16 . There are many ways to do this—talking about the weather, asking for help or saying words of praise.Introduc e yourself at the end of the conversation. It can be as simple as saying “Oh, by the way, my name is ...” 17 Remember his or her name!Join a sports team. As long as you enjoy the sport, you don’t have to be really good at playing a sport, just in order to make friends with others. 18 If you play the guitar or sing, try joining a band.Be a good listener. 19 Ask questions about their interests, and just take time to learn more about them.Encourage your friend. A very good friend encourages their friend. 20 Never make fun of or laugh at your friend in front of others. If someone is making fun of them, a good friend will come to save their friend.There is a young boy in my class. His name is Bill.

The internet has made information more accessible than ever before, allowing people to connect with each other across the globe. This has not only facilitated global communication but has also opened up new opportunities for education and career development.One of the most notable developments in education is the rise of online learning platforms.

This shift has not only increased the convenience of education but has also opened up new opportunities for learners around the world.Online learning platforms offer flexibility that traditional classrooms cannot match. Students can learn at their own pace, revisit lessons, and even access course materials from anywhere in the world. This has been particularly beneficial for those who have work or family commitments that make attending regular classes difficult. Moreover, online courses often provide a wide range of subjects and topics that might not be available in local schools.However, the shift to online learning has also raised concerns about the quality of education.

Additionally, there is a fear that online learners might lack the discipline and motivation to complete their studies without the structure of a traditional classroom.Despite these challenges, many educational institutions are embracing the digital revolution. They are integrating online elements into their traditionalcurricula to enhance the learning experience. This hybrid approach combines the best of both worlds, allowing students to benefit from the flexibility of online learning while still engaging in interactive and collaborative learning environments.Questions:1、What is the main purpose of the passage?A.

Their most famous architectural achievement is the construction of the pyramids, which were built as tombs for the pharaohs. The Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of the pyramids, was built around 2560 BC. It was designed to be a perfect square, with each side measuring approximately 230 meters. The Egyptians were able to calculate the length of the sides of the pyramid with remarkable accuracy, even though they did not have the benefit of modern tools.One of the key mathematical concepts used in the construction of the pyramidswas the Pythagorean theorem. The Egyptians used the theorem to ensure that the corners of the pyramid were 90 degrees, which was essential for stability. Another important mathematical concept they used was the concept of pi, which they approximated as 3.16. This allowed them to calculate the circumference of the base of the pyramid, which was crucial for the construction of the outer casing.The Egyptians also had a sophisticated understanding of astronomy. They believed that the stars and planets had a significant impact on the human world, and they used their knowledge of astronomy to guide their daily lives. For example, they aligned the pyramids with specific stars and celestial bodies to ensure the pharaoh’s tomb was in harmony with the cosmos.Questions:1.What is the main topic of the passage?A. The Great Pyramid of GizaB. The mathematical concepts used in ancient Egyptian architectureC. The pharaohs’ tombsD.

For the blanks with a given word, il in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Into China’s Wild WestI was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. My family and I moved to France when I was six years old. Since then, Gansu has become the remote, mysterious land of my ancestors. Even though I come back to visit every year, I still wonder(36)______ the people there live, what they eat, and if I can still be considered one of them.Last year, I returned to the city for the Lunar New Year celebration. My favorite downtown noodle shop was already crowded at 7 a. m. I saw a five-year-old girl having breakfast with her mother at one table and, at(37)______, a street cleaner in an orange outfit calmly finishing his bowl next to a well-dressed businessman. Their lives(38)______ be worlds apart, yet here they share the same daily breakfast.Aside from the delicious noodles, most tourists will visit Dunhuang, a city famous for its ancient Buddhist grottoes and murals(佛教石窟和壁画). I took my first trip there in January 2023. The unique beauty of northwestern China became increasingly easy to see(39)______I drove farther from Lanzhou. The barren(荒芜的) hills and open spaces seemed (40)______(stretch) out forever, covered in a thin layer of snow that sparkled under the winter sun. I found myself impressed by the raw beauty of the vast land in front of me. Gansu felt so real.When I finally reached Dunhuang eight hours later, the temperatures(41)______(drop) well below zero. The famous Mogao Caves demonstrate the rich cultural and spiritual exchanges that took place along the ancient Silk Road. I marveled at the countless frescoes(壁画) and statues(42)______ keep alive the stories of ancientpilgrims(朝圣者). The contrast between the cold, empty landscape surrounding Dunhuang and the colorful sacredness(神圣) of the caves was striking.(43)______ the amazing cultural heritage in Dunhuang, Gansu is not the most attractive place to live. Itis largely a no-man’s land(44)______(trouble) by droughts and sandstorms, but I am still proud of being born there. The memories of my childhood, the stories of my ancestors, and the rich culture of Gansu have created in me a sense of(45)______(belong). It is where I truly feel at home.Section C(1.5’*10=10’)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. immigratedB. bridgedC. leavingD. mispronouncingE. fadesF. escapeG. effort H. rather I. ironically J. avoiding K. roleThe Pain of Forgetting My First LanguageNo one prepared me for the heartbreak of losing my first language. It doesn’t feel like the sudden, sharp pain of losing someone you love, but (46)______a dull ache that builds slowly until it becomes a part of you. My first language, Cantonese, is the only one I share with my parents. As it (47)______ from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with them.I was born in New York City and spent most of my childhood in Brooklyn speaking Cantonese. It was (and still is) the only language that my parents understand. In the 1980s, they (48)______ to the U. S. from China’s Guangdong Province. The jobs they found in kitchens and garment factories came with long hours, (49)______ them no time to learn English.When I first learned English in elementary school, my parents encouraged me to be excellent in English class because they believed it to be the key to success in America. It was an easy decision to suppress(抑制) Cantonese in an (50)______ to blend in and to feel more American.Over time, Cantonese played a smaller (51)______ in my life. It didn’t occur to me that my Cantonese was regressing until it was too late. First, my directions were off. I started saying jau, which means “right,” when I meant to say zo, which means “left.” Then, the names of colors started to (52)______ me. "I like your green dress", I said to my mom in Cantonese once. “This is blue, silly!” she laughed. Eventually, I struggled to construct sentences altogether, often (53)______ words or failing completely to recall them.It’s deeply frustrating to be unable to express thoughts that I so eagerly want to share with my parents. We have no heart-to-heart conversations or mutual understanding. My heart aches, knowing that there’s a distance between us that may never fully be (54)______ . My parents are in their 60s now. There’s no (55)______ the fact that we have a limited amount of time together. So I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents, for I don’t want the language barrier to disconnect us anymore.III. Reading Comprehension (45’)Section A(1’*15=15’)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a non-disabled woman. In another (56)______ , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim(受害者) had a large red birthmark on his (57)______; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to (58)______ aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark.In (59)______ these and other research findings, two themes are (60)______: we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think (61)______ assistance.In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid (62)______ , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be (63)______ , but had obviously been“lost”. The photo stuck to (粘贴在) the application was sometimes that of a very (64)______ person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to (65)______ the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.The degree of (66)______ between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) (67) ______T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.Whether a person receives help depends in part on the “worth” of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone (68)______ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for(69)______ than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be (70)______ rather than drunk.56. A. word B. way C. study D. college57.

Dropped off as a 3-year-old homeless dog near New Orleans, the dog stayed in the shelter for four months before being moved to Texas.While living at an adoption center in Texas, the dog was adopted out twice to different families. Sadly, neither of those adoptions were successful. It turned out Clementine didn’t get along with smaller pets, and she had too much energy for the second family.Meanwhile, Captain Robert Moree wanted to add a fire dog to the station. He’d just read a study about how dogs help firefighters deal with the pressure of their jobs, and he was eager to give the study a real life trial run! With the permission of the chief and other firefighters, he and a few colleagues visited the shelter. As soon as they met Clementine, they were smitten!“They introduced us to Clementine,” Captain Moree recalled. "She started to like us, and we liked her instantly. Later that day, my driver, Bryan Wallen, and I decided to get her. "Captain Moree officially adopted Clementine, but she definitely belonged to every person in the firehouse. She loved to hug the firefighters in between calls, and she was always nearby whenever anyone was preparing food. “She rides on the truck when we go out on calls” said Captain Moree. “She not only makes the station feel more like home during our 24-hour shifts but also keeps us excited to come to the station.”Clementine has made such an amazing journey from a homeless dog to a hero dog.

A tour of the inside of the Bird’s Nest is arranged on Day 2.(C)Every day, Lucy Dong and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a. m. - 7.10 a. m. If they are lucky-rush through their breakfast of steamed buns and noodles, and head off to what may be the best schooling system in the world.The 10-year-olds, who are natives of Shanghai. study in 35-minute bursts from around 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., with a small break for lunch-and a class meeting - sandwiched in the middle.Outside school hours, the girls’ lives are lots of extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwondo training, modelling lessons and choir practice.Shanghai was crowned (加冕)-for the second time-the champion of the Programme for International Student Assesment (PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,00 secondary school students around the world) . Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghai’s relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative (代表) of the Chinese education system as a whole.Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega- city’s magic formula.Professor Kong Lingshuai of the College of Education at Shanghai Normal University has studied the city’s PISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix of “traditional elements and modern elements”. The former is related to the high expectations of “tiger” parents, and a belief in Chinese children from a young age that effort is crucial to gaining a good education. The “modern elements” include Shanghai’s willingness to constantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its focus on improving under-achieving schools by pairing them with those that excel; its openness to foreign ideas; and the introduction of performance-related pay.An obsession with(痴迷于) training has also been the key, says Prof. Kong. As of last year, new teachers have to undergo a standardized, one-year training course before starting in the classroom. Once qualified, they are required to complete at least 240 hours’ training in their first five years, including online learning, paper reading. essay writing and so on. Teachers are also encouraged to attend each other’s classes to promote a culture of “idea sharing, exchanging and positive competition”.Outsiders often dismiss China’s educational system as a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting to change. Authorities are attempting to move away from testing that relies too heavily on memorizing facts and figures, and some schools are also giving students more time to play, rather than just study.78. The author mentions Lucy Dong and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs to ______.A. praise the hard work of these two girlsB. give readers the whole picture of Chinese educationC. show what education in Shanghai looks likeD. criticize the burden the education brings on them79. Why do some experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1 “in PISA test?”A. Because the value of PISA, which only tests 510,000 students globally, receives doubt.B. Because Shanghai has got more attention and resources from the central government.C. Because only maths, reading and science skills are compared in PISA test, which is not enough.D. Because Shanghai has a better system of financial support for schools as well as for teachers.80. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “dismiss” in the last paragraph?A. To give credit for something.B. To think about something differently.C. To think negatively of something.D. To claim the features of something81. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Strict parents contribute little to the academic success of their childrenB. Students have more free time to spend on their interest across ChinaC. Under-achieving schools are usually displaced by those academically competitive schools.D. Many education researchers are getting to Shanghai to study the phenomenon.Section C (2’*4=8)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort.B.

She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. She loves her students and cares for them. She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.(83)______ Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever.

(84)______ She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.Often she says to us, "work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and content. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society". What a piece of good advice this is! (85)______ This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior.

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health;otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.9. What can we learn from Professor Hood's words?A. Leaming has got to be active and experiential.B. Mental health is as important as physical health.C, Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.D, Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.10.What words can best describe the course?B. Pioneering and useful.A. Long and complex.D. Interesting and educational.C. Cheap and professional.11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph?B. By focusing on ourselves.A. By interacting with others.D. By avoiding negative friendsC. By learning a new course.DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick13. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive,C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consumingC. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15. What's the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5 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。

高一上册英语期中试卷及答案

高一上册英语期中试卷及答案
B
Teachers first noticed Cameron Thompson’s talent for numbers when he was four years old and at pre-school. Throughout primary school, Cameron Thompson’s best subject was maths. Then, when he was eleven, he took a maths test prior to entering secondary school. The test was out of 140; Cameron scored 141. “I broke the system,” he recalls.
But his academic achievements have not always been matched by social success. “I have the social ability of a talking potato,” he admits. In other words, he feels more at ease with numbers than among other teenagers.
Communication is not one of Cameron’s strong points and, apart from the problems this causes socially, it is now beginning to affect his marks in mathematics. This is because, at undergraduate level, he is expected to give reasons for his answers together with the answers themselves. Cameron’s difficulty is that he often doesn’t know how he has arrived at the answers, even though the answers are usually correct.

Without such problems, animals in zoos should live to a ripe old age. But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth. Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases, joint problems and behavior changes. Sometimes, they even become infertile.To learn more about how captivity affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the life spans of female elephants born in zoos with those living outdoors in their native habitats. Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates, illnesses, weight and death. These records made it possible for the researchers to analyze 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe, North America and Asia.The scientists found that female elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9years. Their wild counterparts who died of natural causes lived an average of 56 years - more than three times as long.Scientists don't yet know why wild elephants seem to fare so much better than their zoo - raised counterparts. Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who led the study, thinks that stress and obesity may be to blame. Zoo elephants don't get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild, and most are fed a diet of corn instead of their natural vegetation.Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early than African elephants born in zoos. Mason suggests that different species may react differently to the stress of captivity.1. What does the underlined word "ripe" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Smooth.B. Mature.C. Disease - free.D. Early.2. What do the scientists find in their study?A. Female elephants live longer than male elephants.B. Zoo - raised elephants live as long as their wild counterparts.C. Female elephants born in zoos have a shorter life span.D. Elephants are less healthy in zoos due to lack of exercise.3. What are the possible reasons for the zoo - raised elephants' poor healthaccording to Mason?A. Stress and obesity.B. Eating too much corn.C. Lack of exercise and different species.D. All of the above.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Elephants in ZoosB. Health of Zoo - raised ElephantsC. Comparison between Zoo - raised and Wild ElephantsD. Longer Life for Wild ElephantsIf you are a high school student, you may be under a lot of stress. Here are some tips to help you manage your stress.First, make a schedule. A schedule can help you organize your time and tasks. Write down all the things you need to do, such as homework, studying for tests, and extracurricular activities. Then, prioritize your tasks. Decide which tasks are most important and need to be done first. This will help you focus on the most important things and not get distracted by unimportant tasks.Second, get enough sleep.

Take a 10 - 15 minute break every hour or so. During your break, you can do something relaxing, such as listening to music, reading a book, or talking to a friend.Finally, talk to someone. If you are feeling stressed, don't keep it to yourself. Talk to your parents, teachers, or friends. They can give you advice and support.5.

They give each other red envelopes with money inside as a gift, which is called "hongbao" in Chinese. Children are especially happy because they can get a lot of "hongbao".There are also various activities during the Spring Festival, such as setting off fireworks, pasting Spring Festival couplets on the doors.

AFriendships can be difficult—because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your fr iend the same way as you’d like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you’re always thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are issues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.21.

The paragraphs following the passage may be about how to_______.A. make friendsB. treat friends correctlyC. keep friendsD. deal with friendship issuesBWhen I was 19 years old, I was at a dance club. As we were walking to my car one cold night, a man walked up to us. Behind him was a woman carrying a small child. The child had a jacket on but it wasn’t buttoned up(扣上). The man began to tell us he wanted to borrow some money for the night to get his wife and kid into a hotel. He had a job but no place to live in and was waiting for he first paycheck. He said he could get our mailing address and mail the money back.The guy I was with reached into his pocket to give this man a $20 bill. As the other man was extending his hand out to take the money, I put my hand on my new friends’ hand and said, “ Can I talk to you for a minute?”I told him that every day people asked my mother for money on her way to work. She said they made more money than she did, simply begging for money. These people were scamming those with soft hearts. And if they were truly worried about their child suffering from the cold, they would have at least buttoned his jacket or covered him with his blanket.My new friend looked at me with disappointment and said, “Michelle, I know there are people out there that take advantage of others. I also know there are people out there that are one paycheck away from being homeless. If I give $ 20 to 10 people and only one of them really needs it and uses it for the right thing, it is worth it.”I am now 37 years old and have never forgotten what he said to me. I don’t even remember his name. But I do remember that that experience changed the way I look at different situations.26. Where did this story happen?A. Near a hotelB. Outside a dance clubC.
