A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn’t show such support.So celebrate your kids’achievements，no matter how small they are.3.Praising their efforts. Kids won’t always come out on top.Still，they deserve kudos ( 赞誉) for trying their best.Ten-year-old April Cutler，for example，has had trouble with math since second grade.“She usually gets C’s on her report card，but last year she was determined to get A’ s and worked hard at it，” says her mom.“Whe n the first grading period ended，April was disappointed when she got a B minus in math，” Lueille continues.“Bu t my husband and I told her we were very proud that she’d improved.That inspired her to try even harder.She got a B plus for the next period！”4.Letting them make decisions and mistakes.Making his/her own decisions increases a child’s sense of control and builds his/her selfesteem ( 自尊心)．And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won’t harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.5.Encouraging them to solve their own problems.As they grow，children needpractice in communicating，standing up for themselves and compromising.One of the best places to learn these skills is at home.So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her，step back and let them work it out.56．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To encourage parents to admire their kids.B.To show how to praise kids.C.To help kids study harder.D.To give advice on how to help kids become mature.57．The passage is mainly intended for .A．kids B．parents C．teachers D．educators58．From the example of April Cutler，we can l earn that .A.praising kids’ efforts can help them make greater progressB.setting a high goal makes kids feel discouragedC.solving problems by themselves helps kids feel confidentD.interest is the best teacher59.Why should parents allow kids to make mistakes?A．Making mistakes is a normal thing for a kid.B．Adults also make mistakes now and then.C．Kids can learn something valuable from their mistakes.D．Making mistakes won’t harm kids.BLooking back on my childhood，I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War Ⅰwe spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds，and above all，the insects.I am a naturalist，not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then somet hing happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle，because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline，but hard training，determination and a goal.A scientist，up to a certain point，can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds.60.The first paragraph tells us the author .A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB.lost his hearing when he was a childC.didn’t like his brothers and sistersD.was born to a naturalist’s family61.The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because .A．he didn’t live very long with themB.the family was extremely largeC.he was too young when he lived with themD.he was fully occupied with observing nature62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The author is a naturalist，but not a scientist.B.The author is a scientist as well as a naturalist.C.The author is first of all a scientist.D.The author is neither a naturalist nor a scientist.63.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he t hinkshe .A.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticcks some of the qualities required of a scientistC.just reads about other people’s observations and discoverieses up with solutions in a most natural wayCWhen you were looking for a reliable，honest auto mechanic，how did you find him？Before you went into that restaurant you recently tried，how did you know that it served great food？If you are like most people on the planet，you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to refer to a business they trust.Marketers call thisfriendtofriend recognition of a business “wordofmouth” advertising.When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job，people are going to talk about your business.Unfortunately，because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively than positive ones，we’re more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones.Understand this：Customers believe their own experience.You can’t make them believe that your company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.So，to get positive word-of-mouth going for your business in this service-based economy，you’ve got to do a really outstanding job for everyone，exactly.And when you do，you build a great reputation.That takes time.But it forms a close link with your customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon (优惠券) ever could.The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers’money，people want to know whom they can trust.So people are going to be talking about you.Create a free sales force for your business—an army of delighted customers who tell everyone that they know how good your company is to do business with.That’s a great antidote (解毒剂) to defectionitis.64.What is the main topic of this passage?A．A good name will bring you money.B．A person should rely on his friends for business.C．Advertising can make customers believe it’s wonderful.D．A company can rely on its associates to survive.65.According to the passage，whether we go to a place or not d epends on .A．business fame B．media assistanceC．particular recognition D．associates’recommendation66．When you do an outstanding job in service，you w ill surely .A．make more money than you expectB.have a mutual understanding with your customersC.build a great reputation immediatelyD.earn your fame as well as advertise for your company67.The underlined word “defectionitis”probably means .A．service imperfection B．customers’ distrustC．customers’protection D．service advertisementDRalph and Norton can grow to be 40 feet long and live in a tank as large as a football field.What are they？They’re the only two whale sharks at a North American aquarium (水族馆)．You can see Ralph and Norton at the world’s largest aquarium，the new Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.The aquarium’s giant tanks hold eight million gallons of water and will be home to about 100,000 fish!The aquarium was designed to look like a giant ship breaking through the waves.It has 60 different habitats from the sea and five galleries ( 展馆)，each with a different theme.About 2.4 million visitors are expected to come each year.“We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium.” said Jeff Swanagan，the aquarium’s executive director.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Taiwan.They were only 15 and 13 feet long，but they may grow to be more than 40 feet long！Whale sharks are the world’s largest fish.Three full-time vets will work there to make sure that Ralph，Norton，and all of the aquarium’s sea life stay healthy.Students from the University of Georgia will help run the aquarium and conduct research at the animal hospital.The aquarium was paid for almost completely by a $200 million gift from Berne Marcus，co-founder of the Home Depot Inc，and his wife，Billi.“It’s going to be the most unique aquarium in the world，”sai d Marcus.Marcus said the aquarium was a “thank you” note to the city of Atlanta and the State of Georgia，where the Home Depot first opened for business.68.According to this passage，Ralph and N orton are .A．polar bears B．whale sharks C．penguins D．dolphins69．The world’s largest aquarium located in .A．Los Angeles B．New York C．Atlanta D．Miami70．Which of the following is TRUE?A.The aquarium was designed to look like a giant shark.B.The aquarium’s giant tanks can hold eighteen million gallons of water.C.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Japan.D.Marcus helped to build the aquarium to show his thanks to A tlanta.71.By saying “We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium”，Jeff Swanagan means .A.the aquarium will attract a large number of visitorsB.the aquarium will be home to very special sea animalsC.the aquarium will be rebuilt and will be made even largerD.the aquarium will be the largest habitat for sea lifeEStarting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure ( 血压) under control，research suggests.Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.The researchers，from the University of Alberta in Canada，showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes ( 酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE inhibitors，drugs taken by millions around the world to lower blood pressure.Fried eggs proved particularly effective，but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.Earlier this month，British researchers declared that，contrary to popular beliefs，it is healthy to go to work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol ( 胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin，from the University of Surrey，said，“Th e wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amount of cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to limit the number of eggs they eat.They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005.However，almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.72.From the text we know that ACE i nhibitors are .A．a kind of medicine B．a kind of proteinC．a kind of illness D．a kind of food73．According to what Professor B ruce said，eggs .A．are the most nutritious foodB.have no effect on blood cholesterolC.can be included in a healthy dietD.are forbidden to be eaten in the UK74．We can infer from the text that .A.drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsB.stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseasesC.most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedD.about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health75．The text is meant .A.to introduce scientific findings about eggsB.to introduce a medicine made from eggsC.to tell people how to lower their blood pressureD.to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible第三部分：写作(共两节，满分35 分)第一节短文改错(共10 小题；每小题1 分，满分10 分)Peter was walking back home

Every summer,we would spend hours working in the garden, watering plants, picking ripe fruits, and harvesting vegetables. It was a time filled with laughter and joy.One day, my father decided to build a greenhouse in the garden. He believed that having a greenhouse would allow us to grow more plants throughout the year. With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work. Itwas a wonderful experience that I will always remember.Complete the following passage by choosing the most appropriate word or phrase from the options given below.I was worried and asked my father what was wrong.

has been a sign of summer's end.Each September，just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days，Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden.She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind.She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking.While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same，her desire for my help seems to increase each year.Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes.I，however，just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma

others Grandma has carefully chosen.However，Grandma acts as if she needs final look to be sure.She calls me to her side，kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face，and grasps the tomato in her hand.She turns each round，red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a halfhearted smile.She then looks at me.I nod my head and

twin who won the art competition?”she asked.“No，that's Christine.I'm Katie.”I said.We were not identical twins;we looked quite different.She could defeat Snow White in a beauty contest!Compared to Christine，I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters.One Saturday Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always attempting to be artistic too.But I knocked over the vase of flowers，spilling water onto Christine's painting.Instead of becoming angry，though，she turned the whole mess into a dreamy masterpiece(杰作).You could look at it five different ways and see five different things.With this brilliant creation，she won First Prize in the art competition.I really envied her，but I knew it wasn't her fault and I was the one with wild，unmanageable hair and no talent.Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.On the way to the gym，I'd made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game.I made preparations with great enthusiasm.“Christine，here!”I tossed her a ball.But it was too high，she leapt for it，it slipped through her fingers andcrashed into the tape recorder that was used to play the national anthem before each game.I muttered apologies as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder.Coach looked at the mess and asked，“How are we going to play the song now?”Christine suggested，“Let Katie sing it!She's always singing at home.”Coach asked.“Would you?”I found myself nodding.Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood.Standing before a microphone，I looked up to the flag.The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me，and my voice was steady and clear.When I finished，the gym was silent Then it was filled with applause.As the game started.teammates patted my back and gave me the“thumbs up”ura Jamison said.“You should try out for the school musical!”I Nodded and said that I might.The next morning Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked，“Are you the twin who sings?”“Yes，that's me，”I answered，grining(露齿笑)as I walked to class.49.The authur uses“Snow White”and“Cinderella's stepsisters”to showA.how dissimilar the twins were in appearaneeB.why Christine could

a house a home?Not size，of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his justreleased(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This isn't a book about houses;it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether you're sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what he's talking about.We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18 years，but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window，which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom you're with，not where you are.As Edwards writes，“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”Happy homecoming.53.According to the author，what makes a house a home?A.All the belongings in the house.B.Feelings of warmth and comfort.C.The houses and circumstances.D.Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.54.About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives，we know that ________.A.it was the description of Edwards' housesB.it is mainly about housesC.it helps us understand the concept(概念)of homeD.it was written by the author of the text55.What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?A.His house was too old to live in.B.He missed the feeling of home.C.He hated living there.D.He missed his old friends too much.E篇章结构Ancient Rome was one of the world's most powerful empires more than 2 000 years ago.The Romans' ideas about roads，laws，government and buildings still

D．Compared【分析】与整个地球的大小相比较，最大的海洋一点也不显大．【解答】答案：D．compare是动词原形，在句中作谓语，而本题横线处应该使用非谓语动词，可排除A．compared with（作为过去分词词组）与…相比，在句中作状语，为一固定表达；我们还可以这样理解：句子的主语是the biggest ocean，与动词compare 是逻辑上的被动关系，应该使用过去分词，排除B和C，故选D．【点评】本题考查的是非谓语动词，要分析动词与主语的逻辑关系，并结合具体的语境选择出正确的选项．22．（1分）On the one hand，we should develop our economy．_____，we should protect the environment．（）A．On the other hand B．On the wholeC．On the contrary D．At the other hand【分析】一方面，我们应该发展经济，另一方面，我们要包护环境．【解答】答案：A．分析句子的结构可知，本句考查短语on the one hand，On the other hand一方面，另一方面；用来陈述事情的两个方面，on the whole总的来说；on the contrary 相反；没有D项这样的表达．故选A．【点评】对于介词短语的用法要认真研究，理解透彻，并且要结合句意来做出判断，就能解决问题．23．（1分）Everyone in our class likes Mary because she is good at telling and jokes．（）A．turning up B．putting up C．making up D．showing up【分析】我们班所有人都喜欢Mary，因为她擅长于讲故事和编故事．【解答】答案：C解析：A：调大（声音）；出现；B：悬挂；搭建；C：编造；化妆；D：出现．根据句意"我们班所有人都喜欢Mary，因为她擅长于讲故事和编故事"及所给选项分析可知，不同答案为C选项；其余选项均不符合题意．【点评】本题考查动词短语的辨析，做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法，再结合句意及其它要求确定最终答案．24．（1分）It is all agreed that a good education doesn't ________ a good job．（）A．guarantee B．result C．depend D．swear【分析】人们都同意好的教育并不能保证有份好的工作．【解答】答案是A．本题考查动词词义辨析．guarantee vt．保证；result vi．发生，导致；后果；depend vi．依赖；swear n．/vi．发誓；咒骂；根据句意，好的教育不能"保证"好的工作，所以答案选择A．【点评】动词辨析的关键在于积累词汇和一些相关的固定搭配，在此基础上结合语境，做出合理的判断．25．（1分）The fashionable lady is about clothes．（）A．special B．particular C．careful D．strict【分析】这位时髦的女士对衣服很挑剔．【解答】答案：B解析：A：特别的；专门的；B：特别的；挑剔的C：仔细的；D：严格的．根据句意"这位时髦的女士对衣服很挑剔"及所给选项分析可知，本题考查be particular about"对…很讲究/挑剔"这一固定短语；因此本题答案为B选项，其余选项均不符合题意．【点评】本题考查形容词的辨析，做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法，再结合句意及其它要求确定最终答案．26．（1分）Was it during the Second World War he died？（）A．that B．while C．in which D．then【分析】他是在二战期间去世的吗？【解答】答案：A．分析句子的结构可知，本句为一个强调句型的一般疑问句型，强调的是时间状语during the Second World

if"即使"．其他选项的含义分别是B"自从"；C"是否"；D"直到"．【点评】考查从属连词．even if与even though的区别：even if一般引导的是把握不大或假设的事情，even though引出的是事实．如：Even if we achieve great success in our work，we should not be proud．即使我们在工作中取得了巨大成绩，也不应该自满．Even though he was late，he was not criticized by the teacher．虽然他晚了，可他并没有受到老师的批评．第二节完形填空（满分20分）36．（20分）A poor girl was selling flowers in the street （36）B Christmas Eve．Her

"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying. "I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app," Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the Kids Rights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner's work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. And the students who organized the March for Our Lives event in 2018 after a deadly mass shooting at their school in the American state of Florida also won the prize.Yousafzai praised Rahman's work during the ceremony.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns.

湖北省武汉市部分重点中学2023-2024学年高二上学期期末联考英语试卷
湖北省武汉市部分重点中学2023-2024学年高二上学期期末联考英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解A Taste of ChinaI once travelled across China. As a chef, I really felt at home with this place and realized that its variety of food is as vast as its land.In Beijing, I took to eating Beijing Roast Duck. The barbecue gives it that famous smoky flavour. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the tender and juicy duck goes well with the pancakes and the sweet sauce. People say that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Table manners are no exception. I had to hold chopsticks instead of a knife and fork while eating.In Shandong, I came across Four-Joy Meatball in a wedding feast. The large round meatball is steamed through to keep its original flavor. Slightly rough and brown outside but incredibly soft inside, it melts in the mouth. I didn’t think anything could beat my tender bacon until I met it!When it comes to something spicy, what else but Chongqing hot pot! There is nothing that a hot pot can’t fix, so no tour of China is complete without trying a hot pot. In the restaurant I chose, there were so many customers eating that there’s not enough room to swing a cat. I have to say my mouth was on fire but I just couldn’t stop!As well as a burning mouth, I was left with a full stomach, some lovely memories, and a wider understanding of the tastes of China.1．What do Beijing Roast Duck and Four-Joy Meatball have in common?A．They adopt the same cooking method.B．They’re served with dipping sauce.C．They have crispy skin and tender meat.D．Their flavour defeat tender bacon 2．What can we know from the fourth paragraph?A．Chongqing hot pot is the only spicy food.B．Hot pot is a must when traveling in China.C．Pets are not allowed into hot pot restaurants.D．Spicy food fails to appeal to the author.3．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A travel journal.B．A restaurant guideC．A Chinese recipe.D．An online food review.There’s another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them.My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham’s book, Dove. However, it wasn’t until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I’ve made voyages in fair and stormy weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.Still, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming.After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only “other people’s boats”. It didn’t last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we’ll name her Talisman.4．What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid?A．He would explore the lost civilization.B．He would tour northeast Indiana by car.C．He would patiently wait for his father.D．He would sail with his father and his sister.5．What can we learn about the book Dove?A．It is the most famous work by Graham.B．It was published in National Geographic.C．It has something to do with exploring the sea.D．It was an inspiration for the author’s writing.6．Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis?A．It didn’t function well.B．He couldn’t afford to maintain it.C．He was fed up with sailing.D．He assumed others’ boats were better. 7．What message does the author convey by the underlined sentence?A．He is particular about boat names.B．The new boat will be his favorite one.C．Talisman bred his lifelong passion for sailing.D．Talisman displayed his father’s craftsmanshipMarie Curie is remembered today for her pioneering work on radioactivity, which not only earned her two Nobel Prizes but also the recognition as the “mother of modern physics”. But while her research into the radioactive elements polonium and radium may have secured her a lasting scientific legacy, those same substances have also had a lasting effect on her body.Then, in 1911, after much personal tragedy (Pierre Curie had died suddenly in 1906), Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for isolating pure radium. She would go on to devote her research to the study of the chemistry of radioactive substances as well as their applications in medicine. In fact, if it were not for Curie’s work, our treatments for cancer would likely not be anywhere near as developed as they are today. But despite advocating precautions(预防), Curie’s consistent and prolonged exposure to these substances came at a cost.Marie Curie died on July4, 1934, from aplastic anemia(再生障碍性贫血) caused by her work with radiation. Despite its name, aplastic anemia is more than just anemia; it is a rare blood condition that appears when bone marrow cannot make enough new blood cells for your body to function properly. When Curie died, her body was so radioactive that she had to be laid to rest in a lead-lined(铅封的) coffin. However, no one knew this until 1995 when her coffin was unearthed.At the time, the French authorities wanted to move the Curies to the national cemetery, the Pantheon, in honor of their contributions to science and for being great figures in French history. The officials responsible for the exhumation(掘尸) contacted the French radiation protection agency with concerns about remaining radiation and asked for assistance to protect workers in the cemetery.When the exhumers approached the grave, they detected normal levels of radiation on the air, which then rose as the grave was opened (though not by large amounts). At first, Marie Curie’s coffin appeared to be made of wood, but when opened, they found it was lined with 2.5 millimeters (0.09 inches) of lead. Later examination of Curie’s body revealed that she had remained remarkably well preserved and only small levels of alpha and beta contamination were detected. This, according to The Journal of British Society for the History of Radiology, was likely because Curie had taken steps to limit exposure to radiation in later life.8．We can infer from the text that Marie Curie ________.A．invested amounts of money in her researchB．was awarded the Nobel Prize for radium precautionC．is credited with the development of cancer treatmentD．abandoned her research after her husband’s sudden death9．What can we know about the exhumation officials?A．They overestimated the actual radiation level.B．They were not licensed for the exhumation work.C．They had no regard for the safety of their workers.D．They were previously informed of the lead-lined coffin.10．Why only small levels of radiation was detected from Curie’s body?A．Her body remained remarkably well preserved.B．Curie was less exposed to radiation in later lifeC．The exhumers lacked adequate assistance technically.D．The lead-lined coffin protect her body from radiation.11．Which words can best describe Marie Curie based on the text?A．Remarkable but careless.B．Successful but aggressive.C．Ambitious and considerate.D．Committed and persistent.It is a general belief among academics that the humanities(人文学科) are in crisis. According to Harvard historian James Hankins, part of the problem is the dominance of “critical” reading over “primary” reading. Primary reading takes a text at face value and simply tries to understand what the author intended to say. Critical reading assumes an author’s statements can never be taken at face value. Instead, they must be “seen through” to expose the text’s real meaning, which is determined in line with this or that fashionable theory.Mr. Hankins says primary reading “must be recovered” for higher education in the humanities to be effective. I would go further. Primary reading isn’t important only for the humanities, but for education more generally. The restoration of primary reading could be a crucial weapon in fighting the “idle talk” that troubles American society.Idle talk was philosopher Martin Heidegger’s term for inauthentic discourse(话语). It involves adopting and circulating others’ opinions about something without ever personally engaging that thing for yourself. People engaged in idle talk speak in line with expectations for their particular role. They hold and express the opinions a person in their role is expected to hold.Idle talk can be harmless. Each year my mother forms strong opinions about which films should win Academy Awards without seeing any of them, after reading articles by critics she favors. But idle talk can also be dangerous. Consider journalism. The norm nowadays is for one reporter to break a story, followed by dozens or hundreds of journalists recycling that content. They may add a little spin of their own but rarely look into the issue for themselves—even when this would require but a few clicks. Some journalists even just search social media for the story of the day and rewrite it in their own words.It could be argued that social media has contributed to the popularization of idle talk. Authentic discourse requires time, effort and good-faith engagement, but social media tends to encourage the opposite. Social media raises this voice, pushing it into user feeds 24/7. We hear about everything, and we can’t hear about anything without also being told what opinion we should have about it. Opinions before facts; know what to think about something before actually looking into it for yourself. And really, why even bother with that?Primary reading isn’t only something the humanities need. Our entire culture needs its value to be recognized and restored.12．What do we know from the first two paragraphs?A．Critical reading leads to the crisis in the humanities.B．Critical reading is generally dominated nowadays.C．Primary reading fails to expose the real meaning.D．Primary reading isn’t important for the humanities.13．What does the underlined word “spin” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Interpretation.B．Intervention.C．Interaction.D．Investigation. 14．What does the author think of social media?A．It tends to encourage high engagement.B．It promotes the spread of idle talkC．It offers people facts instead of opinions.D．It advocates independent thinkingability.15．What’s the author’s advice for readers?A．To focus more on facts.B．To get off social media.C．To gain an insight into idle talk.D．To read original texts exclusively.Aunt Suzy insists you have seconds before you’ve even finished your meal. Or you can count on your coworker to say things like, “I can’t believe you’re only going to have a salad for lunch! “These are both examples of food pushing.It’s common to find yourself in a situation where someone is pressuring you to eat or commenting on your food choices. Intentional or not, the pressure to eat can make you feel uncomfortable, or worse, disturb your dietary preferences. 16Change the subject. It can be helpful to change the subject immediately upon your response. You can simply say, “no thank you”, and immediately follow with a question to distract the food pusher. 17Keep it positive. Avoid making negative comments about the food, your body, or health condition when declining a food pusher. 18 . Praise the chef for their hard work and how amazing the food looks or smells while politely saying no.19 Communicating your boundaries honestly and openly puts you back in control of what you eat and lets others know your wants and needs. Remember, you’re allowed to say no without feeling guilty.Avoid challenging situations. You know your food preferences. Take time beforehand to research the restaurant or ask about the menu so you can be sure there’s food you can eat.20Even if you can’t find the “right” way to say no, chances are no permanent damage will be done to the relationships in your life when you do, so stick to your guns. Remember, no one but you is in control of your own behavior. You have the right to make your personal health a top priority.A．Stay honest.B．Instead, keep it light.C．Hold your boundaries.D．It may be something like “what are your plans for this weekend?”E．It may be uncomfortable, but you’ll have to kindly repeat yourself.F．Having that information will empower you to make suitable choices.G．Learning how to say no will help you cope with similar experiences.二、完形填空If we can allow our children to be themselves without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people 34 race or religion, who will be 35 their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and then we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few.

Within seconds, they were 30 to a typical café in Seoul, South Korea and were encouraged to begin a situational conversation with Korean peers, whose statements and questions had been31This is the way the innovative world of language 32 is going as virtual-reality learning videos enter the classroom and provide students with the closest thing to real-life situation that they could possibly get."A lot of literature says that it is really important to be exposed to the language and culture in order to succeed in language learning," said Song, a lecturer of Korean whose papers focused on comparing a face-to-face andvirtual-world environment for 33 second-language learners' interactional competence. "But technically, it would be bard for students to go to Korea and learn Korean there, so I wanted to bring that setting to the classroom so that students can 34 it with the virtual-reality glasses and their cellphones."Song is one of the first instructors in the university's School of Humanities' Center for Languages and Intercultural Communication to incorporate the technology in her classroom.In recent years, 35 for Korean language classes at Rice has doubled to more than 100 students per year. A key driver, according to Song, is South Korea's export of pop culture, fueled by the popularity of Korean pop（K-pop）music and videos on YouTube and serialized TV K-dramas.Other virtual-reality scenarios that Song's students engage in include shopping in a supermarket, traveling on the subway and visiting a doctor's office."This local setting…really gives it the real-life situation experience of learning language and culture," said Siyu Geng, a senior 36 in mathematical economic analysis."The world is getting into a multilingual and multicultural era," Song said. "In this time, it's very useful to learn foreign language and culture to become 37 professionals in this linguistically and culturally diverse world." III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Pill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.By 2030, 60 percent of the world's population is expected to live in big cities. How all those people live, and what their lives are like, will 38 important choices leaders make today and in the coming years.Technology has the power to help people live in communities that are more 39 to their needs and that can actually improve their lives. For example, Beijing, troubled by air pollution, is testing a 23-foot-tall air 40 that cleans up smog, filters the bad particles（微粒）and releases clear air.This isn't a vision of life in the family comedy The Jetsons. It's real urban communities responding in real-time to changing weather, times of day and citizen needs. These efforts can cover entire communities. They can vary from monitoring traffic to keeping cars moving efficiently or measuring air 41 to warn residents when pollution levels climb.Using data and electronic sensors in this way is often 42 as building "smart cities," which are the subject of a major push to improve how cities function. In part a response to unreasonable infrastructure（基础设施）design and urban planning of the past, smart cities 43 real-time monitoring, analysis and improvement of citydecision-making.

But most research and planning regarding smart cities is driven by the technology, 46 the needs of the citizens. Little attention is given to the social, policy and organizational changes that will be required to ensure smart cities are not just technologically comprehensive but intelligently 47 to their residents' needs. Design will make the difference between smart city projects offering great prospect or actually increasing or even widening the existing gaps in unequal ways their cities serve residents.A key 48 of smart cities is that they create efficiency.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.（A）A culture that values achievement and progress will discourage people from "wasting" time. In religious societies, customs specify times of the day, week, or year for prayer and religious celebrations. If an individual tries to make an appointment during a sacred holiday, he or she could unknowingly offend a religious person. Social manners determine appropriate times for visit, meetings, and even phone calls.Punctuality is important in American business, academic and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school. People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, "time is money" and companies may fine their executives for being late to business meetings. Of course, it was not always possible to be punctual. Social and business manners also provide rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date or a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional circles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate time.Time is tangible; one can "gain time", "spend time", "waste time", "save time", or even "kill time"! The treatment of time as a possession influences the way time is carefully divided. Generally, Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted. Visitors who "drop by" without prior notice may interrupt their host's personal time. Thus, calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is generally preferred to visitors "dropping by". To accommodate other people's schedules. Americans make business plans and social engagements several days or weeks in advance.50.

By analysing this data, he identified mathematical laws that govern genetics.Alexander Fleming（1881-1955）While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that bread mold（霉）could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover penicillin, the first effective antibiotic.Ernest Rutherford（1871-1937）During an experiment, Rutherford noted that energetic particles could pass easily through thin metal foil（箔）. From this evidence he formulated a scientific law: the Famous Deducers（Theory> Experiment）Isaac Newton（1643-1727）Inspired by the motion of falling objects（but probably not an apple!）Newton proposed that all objects attract each other. Only later did he perform calculations to prove that his idea, "universal gravitation," was true.Democritus（c. 460-370 B.C. ）Based on philosophical principles, Democritus argued that a material cannot be divided into smaller pieces forever; he called its smallest possible unit an "atom." Democritus had no means to test his theory. But later experimenters proved atoms are real.Alfred Wegener（1880-1930）atom is mostly empty space. Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents,Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth's landmasses began as a single, giant continent. Over manyyears, many disciplines including geology andfossilology would finally prove that his theory of"continental drift" is accurate.54. Which of the following best define "Inducers" and "Deducers" according to the poster?A. Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories.B. Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories.C. Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories.D. Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference.55. Which of the following is True according to the poster?A. Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming.B. Newton proposed the idea "universal gravitation" by observing the falling of apples.C. It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic.D. Alfred Wegener created the theory of "continental drift" after he found rich evidence.56. Where can this poster most probably be seen?A. In a university lecture.B. In a physics textbook.C. In a science magazine.D. In an advertisement.Section CDirections: 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. In fact, they tended to return to the way they felt before they became rich.B. Nowadays people look to technology as an alternative source of satisfaction.C. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment.D. You can't buy happiness but it looks like you can at least inherit it, some researchers said.E. The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general contentment.F. An important implication is that personality traits of being outgoing and reliable provide a resource that drives future happiness.Can Happiness Be Bought?There is a Web site called the "World Database of Happiness". It combines and analyzes the results of hundredsof surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.57 it is quite common to say that money can't buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still stick to the belief that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.Studies have been carried out on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. 58 Previously contented people continue to be contented, while those who were miserable before sink back into misery.If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships. 59 The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.60 People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the Web site's research is accurate, time spent with your family is a better investment than time spent making money.第Ⅱ卷（共26分）IV.

It is a gateway to knowledge, a tool for personal growth, and a bridge to the future. As a student in my first year of high school in Bazhong, Sichuan, I have come to realize the profound impact that reading has had on my academic and personaldevelopment.Firstly, reading is integral to academic success. It enhances vocabulary, improves comprehension skills, and fosters critical thinking. For instance, when I read “To Kill a Mockingbird” in English class, I not only learned new words but also gained a deeper understanding of racial injustice and the complexity of human nature. This exposure to diverse literature has broadened my horizons and enriched my understanding of the world.Moreover, reading plays a crucial role in personal growth. It allows us to connect with characters and stories that resonate with our own experiences, thus fostering empathy and understanding. I remember reading “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, which taught me the value of pursuing my dreams and overcoming obstacles. This book inspired me to stay focused on my goals and to never give up.Lastly, reading prepares us for the future. In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to process and analyze information is paramount. Reading regularly equips us with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the modern world. Whether it’s keeping up with the latest news or understanding the intricacies of a scientific study, reading ensures that we are informed and prepared.In conclusion, the significance of reading in high school is indisputable. It nurtures our academic pursuits, fosters personal growth, and prepares us for the challenges of the future. As I continue my journey through high school, I will cherish the moments spent with books, knowing that they are shaping me into a more knowledgeable, empathetic, and resilient individual.。

So Ibecame an extremely shy young lady.One day Mr. Hadley told us that we would be required to come to the front of the class and read the reports that we had completed.When my turn came, I refused to stand in front of all those students and open up to their tricks. Mr. Hadley handed me my report and asked me to read it. I gave it back to him. He walked to the front and said,“Martha has a very good report here and I think everyone needs to hear her read it. If you make strange noises or make fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. OK?”Mr. Hadley walked back to me and handed me the paper again, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked there on legs that were shaking and I felt a rabbit in my chest. Everyone was all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to be calm.Mr. Hadley walked over to me and put his arm around me,“You can do it. I have confidence in you!”His words helped me calmdown. I read the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and making fun of me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.From that day on the kids never made fun of me any more and some actually made friends with me. I continued to be quite shy all through school but I knew if I had to stand up in front of the class, I could do it.51.

Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large. The roof of the Main Reading Room is 51 feet high. Here, a reader can sit and work in comfort.The library has over thirty million books andpaintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare’s play, a Bible printed in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world.Every New Yorker can visit the library and use its riches -- free.But the cost of running the library has risen sharply in recent years, and the library has not enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every day. Now it is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and every evening to save money.The library is trying to raise more money to meet its increasing cost. Well-known writers and artists are trying to help. So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the government of New York City. But the problem remains serious.Yet a way must be found to save the library because, as one writer said,“The Public Library is the most important building in New York City -- it contains all our knowledge.”56. Where is the New York Public Library?A. Outside New York.B. In the north of the city.C. In the busiest part of New York.D. In the heart of a university.57. What can be found in the library?A. A Bible read by Columbus.B. All the copies of Shakespeare’s plays.C. More than forty million paintings.D. A letter about finding the new world.58. The periods when the library is open now include _______ .A. Tuesday eveningB. Sunday morningC. Saturday afternoonD. Monday morning59. What is the passage mainly about?A, Saving a library. B. Repairing an old building.C. Building a new library.D. Reading in comfort.60. Which of the following is TRUE？A. The library has grass and trees in it.B. New Yorkers don’t have to pay to use the library.C. Famous writers don’t have to pay to use the library.D. The main reading room of the library is 15 feet high.CIf you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion（时尚）.Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime(消遣)!61. What do people basically wear clothes for?A. Looking attractive to others.B. Following the fashion.C. Appearing successful to others.D. Keeping warm and covering bodies.62. The main reason why clothes are sometimesvery expensive is that _______.A. one has to buy new clothesB. these clothes are in fashionC. the cost of the cloth is highD. making clothes costs much63. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. expensive clothes are not worth their pricesB. fashion is not always changingC. expensive clothes are warmerD. fashion designers like expensive clothes64. What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fashionable clothes shops.B. The clothes that some people have.C. Cupboards for storing clothes.D. Shelves used for keeping books.65. What is the passage mainly about?A. Suits and ties.B. Clothes and fashion.C. Beauty and success.D. Cost and pastime.DWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most of English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. When I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How strong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Rose a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help. “Yes,”I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said,“Are you getting married, young man？But aren’t you a bit young?“I’m not talking about marriage,” I replied,“I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’vearrived. Can you tell me where is a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Rose explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me,“I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other.”66. Where was the writer from?A. AmericaB. EnglandC. FranceD. China67. At the airport, the writer wanted ________.A. to tell Rose his arrivalB. his friend to see him offC. to make friends with RoseD. to go to the telephone company68. At first, the old man thought the writer wished to ________.A. make a phone callB. sell aringC. get marriedD. repair a phone69. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The FrenchB. The AmericansC. The BritishD. The Canadians70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. American English is completely different from British English.B. British people don’t have any language problems in the US.C. Most of French children are required to learn English at school.D. British and American people understand each other most of the time.五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）A new club will be set up for students who like music.

AWhen Thanksgiving is drawing near,many families are getting ready to enjoy a tradition that goes back hundreds of years:baking and eating delicious pie.Two classic desserts will battle it out at holiday tables.Is pumpkin pie better than apple pie?Yes—pumpkin pie is perfectThree reasons why pumpkin pie is better than apple pie1.As one of America’s first crops,pumpkin has become fall’s signature flavor since the early18th century.Even300years ago,Americans knew it was the best pie.2.With its warm,comforting mix of cinnamon(肉桂),nutmeg(豆蔻),and other spices,delicious pumpkin pie gives you perfect bites that melt in your mouth,which simply can’t be beaten.3.As a bonus,pumpkins are packed full of vitamins and nutrients that are good for your body.So cut a perfectly shaped slice of pumpkin goodness and dig in.No—apple pie all the wayThree reasons why pumpkin pie is not better than apple pie1.Apple pie is just about as old as our country and even appeared in America’s first cookbook. Have you heard the expression“It’s as American as apple pie”?No one says that about pumpkin pie!2.There are countless variations on the classic,with different spices and flavorings,dried fruits and nuts,and different crusts(酥皮).Apple pie is the clear winner for people who love the balance of fruit and buttery pie crust.3.To quote another expression,“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”That means apples are nutritious and help keep us healthy.Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue,click here to vote in our debate.Vote YES if you think pumpkin pie is better than apple pie or NO if you don’t.We’ll publish the results next week.21.What do pumpkin pie and apple pie have in common?a.They are full of nutrients.b.They have similar flavor.c.They have deep roots in America.A.abB.bcC.acD.abc22.Where can the text be found?A.On a menu.B.On a website.C.In a magazine.D.In a cookbook.23.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To invite readers to vote in a debate.B.To distinguish pumpkin pie from apple pie.C.To advertise pumpkin pie is better than apple pie.D.To encourage baking and eating pie at Thanksgiving.BEugene Newman Parker,a leading figure in heliospheric(日球层的)physics for the past half century,passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15.He was94.Hailed(誉为)as a visionary in the field of heliophysics,Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system.NASA even stated that“the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr.Eugene Parker.In2018,Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”,a continuous stream of charged particles(粒子)that flow off the sun.It can become violent,causing space weather that impacts the Earth.When Parker’s research was published in1958, his theory was initially met with skepticism and ridicule by the scientific community.The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum(真空),and was thus completely empty of any matter.But,there were no errors in his study or his calculations,and the theory was later proven to be correct in1962,when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers:“If you do something new or innovative,expect trouble.But think critically about it because if you’re wrong,you want to be the first one to know that.”Parker never co-authored a paper with his students,thus urging them to be independent.Parker was humble,straightforward,and wise.His son Eric said,“My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a‘big dog’our dad was in the field.”They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death,they traveled to Lund,Sweden,to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.24.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.B.The sun has less effects on Earth than expected.C.Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.D.NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.25.Why did people view Parker’s theory of“solar wind”skeptically at first?A.It went against the popular opinion at that time.B.Some mistakes were found in his calculations.C.The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.D.Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.26.What did Parker suggest young researchers do?A.seek close cooperationB.learn by trial and errorC.avoid high expectationspete against others27.What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage?A.straightforward and generousB.responsible and accessibleC.intelligent yet meanD.distinguished yet modestCAccording to body language expert Robert Phipps,the way people sleep at night actuallydetermines a lot about the type of personality they have.Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers,those who stress the most,tend to sleep in the fetal position.He found that this is the most common bedtime position,with nearly58percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.The more we curl up,the more comfort we are seeking,according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log.Sleeping with a straight body,with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbornness,and these people(the 28percent who sleep this way)often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this,the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,”according to Phipps.Yearner(向往型)sleepers are next on the list.About25percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front,looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves.Yearners are typically their own worst critics,always expecting the best results,explained Phipps.These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar of sleep styles is the freefaller position.This sleep style makes up17 percent of the population.They sleep face down with arms stretched out.These people,according to Phipps,feel like they have little control over their life.Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles,but also the least comfortable,and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.In conclusion,Phipps has only one more thing to add,“A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”28.What is the main idea of the passage?A.A Good Night's Sleep Sets You Up for the Following DayB.Your Personality Depends a Lot on How You Sleep at NightC.How You Sleep at Night Affects What You Do the Next DayD.Which Sleeping Position Helps You Sleep Comfortably29.Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?30.The underlined word“rigid”is closest in meaning to“________”.A.stubbornB.flexiblefortableD.strange31.Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?A.The fetal position.B.The log position.C.The freefaller position.D.The yearner position.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk,including soy,nut,and coconut milk.These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’milk for health reasons,as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability.While the dairy-free options work well with cereal or in coffee,they fail miserably when it comes to makingmilk-based products like cheese or yogurt.However,these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past,thanks to a new company in California,which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in2014after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives,particularly for cheese.For Gandhi,who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns,the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza.Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some“really bad”dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products.In their university lab,the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母).This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier,has a longer shelf life and,most important of all,is Earth friendly.According to the company’s website,when compared to conventional milk production,their process uses65%less energy,creates84%less greenhouse gas emissions and requires91%less land and an amazing98%less water!Best of all,since it contains real milk proteins,the product behaves like the cow-produced version,which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternatives available to consumers.32.The underlined word"those"in paragraph1refers to_______.A.alternativesB.productsC.peopleD.reasons33.The company’s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A.their deep concern for the environmentB.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently availableC.the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD.their worry that farm animals were poorly treated34.What can be inferred from paragraph4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C.Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D.The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Healthier CheeseB.New Milk Saves PlanetC.Fresher Milk,Better FutureD.Making Milk without Cows第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits morelifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in l801.Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Raphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many famous people, including one of George Washington.

And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $ 20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel—private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views—of Earth and space—and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity—including sports and other activities that make use of this.The hotels themselves will vary greatly—from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structures at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected the costs to come down far enough to make them possible.Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.Of course all good things have come to an end, unfortunately. And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back to the earth. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again-or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel!（1）When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because ________.A . it is expensive to travel in spaceB . they would find the possible life in other star systemsC . they could enjoy the luxury of space hotelsD . they want to realise the full potential of tourism（2）Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?A . The gravitational pull.B . The special views.C . The relaxation in a bar.D . The space walk.（3）Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?A . When was the space traveling made possible?B . What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?C . Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?D . How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?（4）This passage is mainly about ________.A . traveling in spaceB . the ways of living in space hotelsC . zero gravity and space hotelsD . the description of space hotels5. 阅读理解Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recentresearch by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person’s perception of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in soc ial relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable . Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ sense of t he world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness.Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm”or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses , handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students w ere asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we thin k abstractly ,” says Bargh.（1）According to Paragraph I，a person’s emotion may be affected by ________.A . the visitors to his officeB . the psychology lessons he hasC . his physical feeling of coldnessD . the things he has bought online（2）In Bargh’s experiment, the students were a sked to _________.A . judge someone’s personalityB . write down their hypothesesC . fill out a personal information formD . hold coffee and cold drink alternatively（3）We can infer from the passage that ________.A . abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesB . feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwideC . physical temperature affects how we see othersD . capable persons are often cold to others三、任务型阅读6. 任务型阅读Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness.________Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.⒈Have faith.________No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed t o get my master’s degree. It was a really bad experience.________It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.⒉Be around supportive people.Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you.________If you don’t, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don’t wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the community before difficult times come.⒊Help others.An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other peopl e ________As a result, your situation won’t look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.A. Your community helps a lot.B. Whatever it is, it’s important not to lose hope.C. I changed my attitude towards failure.D. In this way you take your focus away from yourself.E. But I got a scholarship at an overseas university later.F. You must believe that things will work out well eventually.G. You should become part of a community that cares for one another.四、短文改错7. 下面短文中共有10处语言错误。
