A(2020·潍坊市高三统考)When traveling on a budget, every dollar counts.Unfortunately, the cost of tickets alone can make a serious hole in your savings. Don't let that stop you from taking your dream vacation, though.According to Jeff Klee, CEO of , there is a “sweet spot” to get the biggest bang for your buck.“The most important rule is fairly obvious: don't wait until the last minute, as that rarely works out，” he said in a statement.“But beyond that, you also want to be careful not to buy too early.”Still, that's easier said than done. Finding the most costefficient time to book is tough. Luckily, somebody did the math — so you don't have to. Data crunchers from the online travel agency surveyed over 917 million fares to determine the day with the cheapest rates.Here's what they found: while prices tend to stay the same between 320 and 106 days before a trip, they start dropping at the 105day mark.That said, you might be tempted to book the moment prices drop.But hold on! You'll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip.According to , you can save 48 percent of the ticket's total cost by using this trick. After that date, airfares will begin to increase again. And don't even think about booking any later than 20 days ahead of time, as prices will be soaring.So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your next dream vacation, and book accordingly.Your wallet will thank you — guaranteed.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

D．A story book.（二）During the COP27 climate conference (会议) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, an important deal on “loss and damage” was reached. This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all. The plan is that richer countries will pay money into a special fund that will be used to help poor countries.Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years, poorer countries have been asking richer countries formoney to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change. Richer countries have produced the most greenhouse gases, but poorer countries are often the worst affected by extreme weather conditions because they are less well equipped to face extreme climate events.Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a speech about preserving the largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon. During the last 50 years, more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to make way for farms and towns. However, in his speech, Lula promised that there would be zero deforestation (伐树) in the Amazon by 2030. The conference didn’t just focus on world leaders. It brought together more than 45,000 people to discuss how climate change is affecting their lives. Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee becaus e of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”Some countries weren’t happy with the overall outcome of COP27 because decisions weren’t made on cutting the use of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, etc. The UK Governme nt’s Alok Sharma said, “I’m incredibly disappointed.”However, this deal was a great achievement for developing countries. Sherry Rehman, the climate minister for Pakistan, said, “I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve clim ate goals.”；4. What is a successful outcome of the COP27 climate conference?A．The deal on loss and damage.B．The deal on using fossil fuels.C．The deal on rainforest preservation.D．The deal on helping climate refugees.；5. What has made it difficult for developing countries to fight against climate change? A．More greenhouse gases.B．Massive deforestation.C．Shortage of money and supplies.D．Terrible weather conditions.；6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Climate change is influencing people’s live s.B．17% of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed.C．Many factors lead to the appearance of refugees.D．There will be less deforestation in the Amazon by 2030.；7. What would Sherry Rehman probably agree with?A．Never put off till tomorrow.B．Many hands make light work.C．Knowledge starts with practice.D．No way is impossible to courage.（三）What are you doing this weekend? Perhaps you're spending time with family, hanging out with friends, or maybe you're going to play a sport. All around the world, people chill out at the end of the working week and take part in leisure activities. In many countries, the weekend consists of Saturday and Sunday, while in others Friday and Saturday are the days of rest. In Afghanistan, Thursday and Friday form the weekend, while in one country, Brunei, Friday and Sunday are the days off.Have you ever stopped to wonder, though, exactly where it originated? And how is the concept going to change? The modern weekend took shape during the Industrial Revolution. In the early 19 century, in areas such as the north of England, people began to leave the countryside to work in towns and cities. There, new factories were springing up. Their working lives were once ruled by nature, with the amount of work depending on the changing seasons. Now, their employers demanded a different rhythm-a six-day week of up to 12 hours a day, followed by one day of rest.Campaigns for workers' rights appeared. By the end of the century they had managed to reduce the working week to five and a half days. This meant that working people could take an interest in hobbies such as photography, which was very new at the time. In the US in the 1920s, the industrialist Henry Ford helped to create the weekend. He gave all his workers Saturday and Sunday off work. His factories manufactured cars, and he wanted to allow his employees time to purchase and enjoy the cars they were producing.These days, in many countries, working a 40-hour week is normal. Many people have a nine-to-five job, but even that is rapidly changing. Technology enables more people to work from home and plan their own use of time. This means that an official period away from work is becoming less important. Perhaps in the future we will work fewer hours altogether. If we become more productive, we should be able to afford the same lifestyle by working fewer hours. It has been estimated, for example, that a worker in the US can achieve a 1950s standard of living by working just 1l hours a week. Some people have recommended a 21-hour working week to help with unemployment, climate change and inequality. However, a change like that may mean more leisure time but it will probably limit people's ability to earn money to enjoy it.8. What does the underlined word “originated” in the second paragraph me an? A．Relaxed. B．Started. C．Appeared suddenly. D．Stopped. 9. What happened as a result of campaigns on behalf of workers?A．People became more inventive.B．People worked fewer hours per day.C．People worked fewer hours overall.D．People found employment in leisure industries.10. The writer says an American businessman gave his workers time off so that A．he could produce more cars.B．they could spend money on cars.C．he didn’t have to pay them to drive.D．they would enjoy working with him.11. Why does the writer suggest the weekend may be less important now? A．Because we start work later than we used toB．Because nobody works over 40 hours a week.C．Because technology empowers individuals to arrange their own time. D．Because people are out control of their working week.二、七选五阅读Mondays are kind of annoying. 12 A recent survey says that most people get the pre-work “Sunday blues”. Starting your Monday feeling sad, anxious and unorganized is hardly the way to kick off a healthy week.The solution? Set aside a little time on Sunday to purposefully prepare yourself for the five days ahead, suggests women’s health expert Marsha Hudnall. 13Do some meal preparations.Figuring out what to have for dinner on weeknights can be surprisingly stressf ul. Stretching out a menu plan on Sunday and swinging by the grocery store for ingredients will help you eat well. Go a step further by chopping and cooking vegetables and a protein (like a roast chicken or scrambled eggs). 14 Or finally attempt a di fferent diet you’ve been meaning to try. For easy dinner planning, just order, and you’ll have a week’s worth of raw materials for delicious and healthy meals.Start a Sunday stress-relief habit.“To be healthy, we have to take care of body and mind,” says Hudnall. Stress has a major impact on health and our ability to concentrate. 15 Four ideas to try: a guided meditation with the help of an app; forest bathing－a practice known as shinrin-yoku in Japan, which basically means taking a long walk or hik e in a wooded area; gentle exercise like yoga; or time cuddling and playing with your pet.16Why not prepare your favorite clothes for Monday? Studies show that what you wear can have a significant effect on your mood. So make Monday the day you wear your favorite clothes or show the latest addition to your wardrobe (衣橱). It’s also a good idea to get some nice coffee or music ready, which will give you something to look forward to on your Monday commute.A．Give yourself something to look forward on Monday.B．Even Sunday afternoons turn sour as we think of the workweek ahead.C．Then all you have to do is heat and plate when you come home from work. D．Therefore, starting a Sunday stress-relieving habit can begin a week feeling strong and focused.E．Try creating a relaxing and winding down Sunday night so that you can recharge and get ready for Monday.F．Taking on just a few of these simple tips every Sunday will help you launch a productive, less stressful week.G．Wailing until the last moment to do weekend chores like paying bills or doing laundry can leave you anxious and stressed on Sunday.三、完型填空The stage lights dimmed (变昏暗), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the audience.

This can last anywhere from one to three months, depending on the country. During this time, children have the opportunity to relax and enjoy their free time.Summer vacation is a time for children to have fun and explore new things. Many children spend their vacation participating in sports, going on trips, or attending summer camps. Some may even use this time to learn a new hobby or skill. It is also a time for family bonding, as some families choose to go on vacations together during this period.However, summer vacation can also be a time when children forget what they have learned in the previous school year. This is known as the "summer slide." Research has shown that students can lose a significant amount of knowledge and skills over the summer break. To prevent this, some schools and parents may provide educational materials or programs to keep students engaged and learning during the vacation.Overall, summer vacation is an important time for children to relax and recharge. However, it is also important for them to continue learning and maintain their knowledge. Finding a balance between rest and education during the vacation period can help students start the new school year on a strong foundation.1. How long can a summer vacation typically last?2. What are some activities children can do during their summer vacation?3. What is the "summer slide"?4. How can students prevent the "summer slide"?5.

只有首先让学生意识到了在规定时间内保质保量地完成任务的重要性，并配合老师积极主动地加以训练，才能使限时训练事半功倍。
在这个过程中切忌强迫学生，而要潜移默化、循序渐进。
（二）限时训练要与讲解解题方法、进行能力提升同时进行限时训练要在给学生讲解解题方法、解题技巧的基础上进行，要让学生不是一味为了限时，而要在运用要各种解题技巧、确保准确率的基础上限时，限时训练才有意义。
同时，只有让学生理解、掌握了必要的解题技巧、提升了做题能力，学生才有信心进行限时训练。
（三）合理安排限时训练的内容1、限时训练的内容应由浅入深、由易到难、循序渐进英语老师在安排训练内容时必须首先考虑到由浅入深、循序渐进的原则，切不可一开始就上难度、高要求，让学生一步一个脚印，逐步提升。

To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸). People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲).

People drive straight into their garages, hire lawn services, hang out in their backyards instead of their front porches（前走廊）. These days, neighbors don't even know each other's names.Good neighbors and good friends are a lot like electricity or running water: We don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. In fact, the authors of a recent book, Refrigerator Rights, claim that refrigerators are signs of close relationships--after all, you wouldn't snatch a drumstick（鸡腿）from the refrigerator of a stranger.The surprising thing is that all it takes to strengthen your relationship with friends and neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand when it's needed. Here's how to develop your relationships with two types of vitally important people in your life._________________. A true friend doesn't flee when changes occur. The sign of a good friend is one who stays true through it all--marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, the losses. Just because situations change doesn't mean the person has to.Friendships fade away if there isn't a balance between the give and the take. So make sure you aren't being a burden to your friends. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can't offer you--be it time, energy, or help -- and don't step over the line. Meanwhile, friendships that drain（耗尽）you will not last. If a friendship is out of balance in this way, you'll need to talk the situation through. 1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?A true friend will stay the same even when the situations change.2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence.（Within 10 words）_______________________________________________________________3. What advice is given in the last paragraph?（Within 10 words）_______________________________________________________________4. What do you think the author will go on talking about if the passagecontinues? （Within 10 words）_______________________________________________________________5.

They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infrared radiations (红外线照射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object.The coating basically employs heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up-by up to 8℃.Previously, products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires solittle that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost-effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear. However, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent. Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.；4. How does the new coating work to remove fog?A．By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.B．By keeping cool air away from the object.C．By creating a thin film of water on the surface.D．By absorbing infrared radiations to heat the coating.；5. Why does the author mention previous anti-fogging products?A．To stress the advantages of the new coating.B．To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.C．To prove the difficulty of creating anti-fogging products.D．To explain the reason for the anti-fogging coating being popular .；6. What is the limitation of the new coating?A．It is considerably expensive.B．It depends on sunlight to work.C．It takes too much time to produce.D．It is difficult to clean and maintain.；7. What do the researchers plan to do next?A．Apply for a patent for the invention.B．Develop the product for more practical uses.C．Explore the environmental impact of the coating.D．Seek a cheaper material as an alternative to gold.CAn exhibition of vivid photographs and a restored documentary give fresh insight into the Antarctic explorer, who died a century ago.One hundred years ago, the leader of the last great expeditio n of the heroic age of polar exploration died from a heart attack as his ship, Quest, headed for Antarctica. The announcement of the death of Ernest Shackleton on 30 January 1922 was greeted with an outpouring of national grief.This was the man, after all, who had saved the entire crew of his ship Endurance —which had been crushed and sunk by ice in 1915 — by making a daring trip in a tiny open boat over 750 miles of polar sea to raise the alarm at a whaling station in South Georgia.It remains one of the greatest rescue stories of modern history and led to the idolising of Shackleton in the United Kingdom, a reputation that survived undamaged for the rest of the century. As his contemporary Raymond Priestley, the geologist and Antarctic explorer, later put it: “When disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.”And here and now in 2022, his death is being marked with an elaborately illustrated exhibition —Shackleton’s legacy and the power of early Antarctic pho tography — which opens at the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), and which includes a range of images and artefacts from his expeditions. Additionally, a digitally remade version of South, a documentary film of Shackleton’s 1914-16 Endurance expedition, is being screened at the British Film Institute.The film and most of the exhibition’s finest images are the handiwork of Frank Hurley, who sailed with Shackleton and who was one of the 20th century’s greatest photographers and film-makers. Both film and exhibition feature striking camera work and provide vivid accounts of the hardships that Shackleton and his men endured as they headed off to explore Antarctica.Even after he survived the great expedition, he still longed for another trip to Antarctica, and after long negotiations set sail in Quest, from England, with the aim of circumnavigating (环航) Antarctica, Shackleton was by now very ill and had suffered at least one heart attack. On 2 January 1922, he wrote in his diary: “I grow old and tired but must a lways lead on.” Three days later he had a major heart attack and died a few hours later. He is buried on South Georgia, scene of his greatest triumph.“Shackleton was an inspirational leader. He had an innate sense of what was possible and achievable. He also had a huge personality but led by example. At the same time, he was sensitive to the needs of the individuals he was leading. For example, after Endurance broke up, his men had lost their protection and shelter. Their social fabric had been destroyed. There would have been disagreement. Yet Shackleton succeeded in keeping them together and made sure they survived.”8. People were overcome with grief when Ernest Shackleton died because .A．it was a huge pity that such a brave explorer should ha ve died from a heart attack B．he was the man that wrote about one of the greatest rescue stories of modern history C．he came to his entire crew’s rescue and symbolised hope in extreme circumstances D．there was no one to pray to anymore when disaster came and there was no hope9. What can we learn about the exhibition?A．It presents Shackleton’s 1914-16 Endurance expedition with powerful Antarctic photos.B．It celebrates the 100th anniversary of the great explorer Ernest Shackleton’s birth. C．It consists of vivid photographs, artefacts, and documentaries of Ernest Shackleton.D．It is created by Frank Hurley, who witnessed Shackleton’s heroic acts with his own eyes.10. Which of the following is NOT true about Ernest Shackleton according to the passage? A．He was the leader of a heroic exploration to the South pole, who died from a heart attack off shore.B．He saved the crew members of the sunken Endurance by travelling to raise the alarmin a tiny boat.C．He is universally recognised as the greatest Antarctic explorer who has enjoyed enduring fame.D．He was inspirational, practical, responsible, sensitive towards his men, but had a strong character.11. What does “Their social fabric had been destroyed. ” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A．What they wore would not be accepted by others upon returning.B．They could no longer socialise with others even if they went back.C．The ship could not keep them together even if they survived.D．They could not function socially as they had when there was shelter.二、七选五阅读Do you want lots of success in school and in your friendship?

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练【3月30日晚，限时：不超过65-70分钟】一、阅读理解（一）Located in the tropical forests in Xishuangbanna, southwest China’s Yunnan province, the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center (AEBRC) is dedicated to giving careful and effective protection to wild elephants.Though the jungles provide rich sources of food and water for the elephants, they can also pose a threat to them if they become ill or injured, making it difficult for them to survive in the wild.In August 2015, a baby elephant that was less than one month old was abandoned by her herd at the d oorway of a farmer’s house in Simiao, Pu’er city. Vets from the AEBRC came and took the animal to their center for treatment. She was found to have intra-abdominal infections and heart failure. She was also at risk of blood poisoning.The baby elephant finally recovered after proper treatment by the keepers at the center. However, without the presence of her mother, she became malnourished (营养不良) due to a lack of breast milk. At that time, she weighed only 76 kilograms, much smaller than an average newborn elephant. The vets decided to feed her goat milk, and as she was born in the Chinese Year of the Goat, the elephant was named Yang Niu (“Yang” is Chinese for goat, and Niu means girl). The elephant is now about 6 years old, 1.8 meters tall and weighs 1.3 tonnes.Currently, there are 11 rescued Asian elephants living at the center and being cared for by 27 keepers, who spend more than 10 hours with them each day. Thanks to these efforts, the population of Asian wild elephants in the province has reached 300 from 150 over the past 30 years.The local government has designated (指派) a place as a source of food for the elephants so that they do less damage to villagers’ crops while looking for food.

But at the same time, you may be underestimating how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day? Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2 ,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.Can’t we resist buying snacks? The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health, we can’t help but fill our shopping carts with snacks.Don’t always blame yourself for poor self- control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this “pot” half.Hugo Harper, head of Nesta’s health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers and that our food environment needed. to be changed, He said,“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what ‘s available in our local corner shops.Hugo added,“If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change.”New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.；5.

What may cause people to buy more snacks according to the text?A．The food environment. B．Living conditions. C．Consumption ability. D．Supermarket management.；8. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A．A packet of crisps contains many caloriesB．People can resist the temptation of snacksC．The harm of snacks is beyond your imaginationD．2,000 adults got involved in a consumption survey二、七选五阅读Have you had a talk with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can’t remember what he said? Oh, perhaps you fail to focus while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. 9 : TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.But how can we listen more effectively? 10 . Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “It’s time for mindful listening to come in. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.”11 ? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. 12 . By doing so, we can understand a situation from someone else’s point of view. After all, we often see the world through our own experiences. Finally, listen to our own cues. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can hold back ideas and perspe ctives that we’re uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues. 13 .In conclusion, the rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don’t l et other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.A．Then think in others’ shoesB．Researchers seem to have got itC．How can we deal with mindful listeningD．Modem life is actually full of distractionsE．But how can we apply mindful listening to our lifeF．Next, reflect on the experience you’ve gone throughG．Besides, it allows us to choose not to let them ruin communication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。
高中高考英语时文阅读限时训练四篇
时文阅读限时训练四篇AOn Sept. 12, 2023, Apple made an announcement. It said it will use the USB-C connector for all its new iPhone 15 models. This is a big deal. It means that all new iPhones will have the same connector. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. The C refers to the third type. It follows types A and B.The USB Implementers Forum is made up of over 1,000 companies. They promote and support USB technology. The group developed the USB-C connector. It replaces the older USB connectors. It also replaces other types of ports. These include HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA. The aim is to create a single, universal connector for a wide range of devices.The key features and benefits of USB-C include a reversible connector. You can insert it in either orientation. It also allows some cables to have the same connector on both ends for connecting between devices and connecting devices to chargers, unlike most earlier USB and Lightning cables.USB-C's widespread adoption in the electronics industry is likely to lead to a universal standard. This reduces the need for multiple types of cables and adapters. Also, its slim and compact shape allows manufacturers to make thinner and lighter devices.Connectors use a variety of data transfer protocols. These are sets of rules for formatting and handling data. The latest USB protocol is version 4. It provides a data transfer rate of up to 40 gigabits per second. This depends on the rating of the cable. The latest Thunderbolt, also on version 4, supports up to 40 gigabits-persecond data transfer and 100 watts charging.Why USB-C mattersDue to the fragmented nature of technology evolution, computer users a decade ago were struggling. They had too many connectors: USB for data; power cables for charging; HDMI or DisplayPort or VGA for video; and Ethernet for internet. This called for an industrywide effort to convergence on an all-purpose connector. Since itsintroduction in 2014, USB-C has gained widespread popularity. It has already become the connector of choice for most non-Apple devices. Apple converted the iPad Pro to USB-C in 2018. Now, it is doing the same for the best selling Apple device, the iPhone. Some market forecasts suggest there will be close to 4 billion USB-C connector sales by 2025 and 19 billion by 2033.1. Which organization developed the USB-C connector?A. The European Union.B. The USB Implementers Forum.C. Apple Inc.D. The USB Consortium.2. What was the goal of developing the USB-C connector by the USB Implementers Forum?A. To replace all USB connectors with USB-C.B. To promote Thunderbolt technology exclusively.C. To create a universal connector for various devices.D. To develop a connector for Apple devices.3. What is the key feature of USB-C mentioned in the text?A. It requires adapters for most devices.B. It is larger and heavier than previous connectors.C. It has a reversible connector.D. It supports only Apple devices.4. When was USB-C introduced to the market?A. 2014.B. 2023.C. 2033.D. 2018.5. According to market forecasts, how many USB-C connector sales are expected by 2033?A. 1 billion.B. 19 billion.C. 4 billion.D. 10 billion.答案: 1. B, 2. C, 3. C, 4. A, 5. BBHangzhou dishes are one of the eight great cuisines of China. They are noted for their seasonal ingredients, elaborate preparation, sophisticated cooking techniques, and refreshing taste. A trip to Hangzhou isn't complete without trying some of its speciality dishes. Here are a few must-try meals. Each of them has an age old story.Dongpo Pork (red-braised pork belly)The dish was named after a Song Dynasty (960-1279) poet and official, Su Dongpo. When Su was banished to Hangzhou, he initiated a thorough dredging of West Lake. This had great benefits for the locals. To express their gratitude, they gifted Su a lot of pork. Su added his own twist to the traditional cooking process of braised pork belly. He added yellow wine and stewed it on low heat. He distributed the dish to those who worked on the project. It became widely favored.West Lake Carp in Vinegar GravyLegend has it that two brothers surnamed Song lived in Hangzhou. The elder brother was murdered by a local villain. In desperation and fear for his safety, the younger brother was forced into exile. During his farewell dinner, his recently widowed sister-in-law cooked a dish. It was both sweet and sour. She was implying that the young Song should "not forget the salt amid the sweet". The younger brother later returned as a high ranking official, avenged his brother's murder, and sought out his sister. The dish has been handed down from generation to generation.Sister Song's Fish SoupDuring the Song Dynasty, a woman nicknamed Sister Song settled down alongside West Lake. She made a living selling fish soup. On a trip to West Lake, Emperor Gaozong tasted her fish soup and spoke very highly of it. The soup's reputation spread far and wide, and it became a calling card for the city.Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing TeaThe story of this dish relates to Emperor Qianlong. He ruled from 1644-1911. On an excursion to Hangzhou, one of his chefs accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into the sauteed shrimp. The lingering fragrance of the tea combined with the divine texture of the shrimp won him over. A classic Hangzhou dish was born.1. Which dish is named after the Song Dynasty poet and official Su Dongpo?A. Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing Tea.B. Dongpo Pork.C. West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy.D. Sister Song's Fish Soup.2. What story is associated with the dish "West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy"?A. It was named after a famous fisherman in Hangzhou.B. The younger brother, forced into exile, received a farewell dinner from his sister-in-law with a sweet and sour dish.C. It was a favorite dish of the Emperor Qianlong.D. It was invented by a local villain.3. How did "Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing Tea" come into existence?A. It was created by a famous tea merchant in Hangzhou.B. A chef accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into sauteed shrimp during Emperor Qianlong's excursion.C. The dish was inspired by a poem about tea.D. It was a traditional dish that dates back to the Song Dynasty.4. What common theme runs through the stories behind these Hangzhou dishes?A. Hangzhou dishes are known for their spicy flavors.B.

Trip.D. Boat.答案: 1. B, 2. B, 3. B, 4. B, 5. CCSome of the oldest known poems do not have a named author. Researchers believe this might be because early poems were sung and passed on through the sharing of stories. They were sometimes chanted or even used as prayers. Caedmon's Hymn is often considered the oldest surviving English poem. It was written in the late 7th century – more than 1,300 years ago. The first word is "nu" – which means "now". It instantly grabs the reader's attention.Fast-forward a few centuries, and poets such as William Shakespeare (1564–1616), William Blake (1757–1827) and Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861) wrote poems that captured the imagination of generations of readers. Poems during these eras usually rhymed, but not always. John Agard (born 1949) Benjamin Zephaniah (born in 1958) and Grace Nichols (born in 1950) are modern poets. They have combined their own Caribbean cultural heritage with life in Britain to write their own interesting and thought-provoking poetry about their experiences and observations. Their poetry is widely studied in schools by students across the country.Why does poetry matter?Poetry can be an important tool for self-expression. 66.5% of children found that writing poetry helped them cope with the difficulties of lockdown. A report carried out in 2020 found that poetry was the most usual way for 11 to 16-year-olds to discover writing from African and Asian cultures. This supports the organisers' belief that poetry can build understanding between cultures and people. Having a special day every year dedicated to poetry helps families, children, communities and schools share their poems and have their voices heard. It also keeps the need for poetry alive.What does "refuge" mean to you?Jay Bhadricha is one of the day's leaders. He describes refuge as a "shelter from the storm, it's an escape, it is a hug from someone you love and it is found in abundance in poetry". Some might find refuge in their family's past. They might write poetry about that, or even in the act of writing poetry itself. Others might seek refuge in their hobbies, and put pen to paper to share them. Refugees (people who have fled war and danger to make a home elsewhere) and those who have welcomed them might write about the experiences, too. The word "refuge" comes from a French word meaning "to flee". People might write about leaving something behind or rushing towards the future. The poet and author Michael Rosen wrote a poem called On the Move Again from Somewhere. It says, "Take the train. Catch a plane. Make the trip. Ina ship... home is where you find it. "1. What is suggested as a possible reason why some of the oldest known poems didn't have namedauthors?A. Authors intentionally remained anonymous.B. They were passed on through storytelling and song.C. Authors were not recognized in ancient times.D. The concept of authorship didn't exist then.2. When was "Caedmon's Hymn," often considered the oldest surviving English poem, written?A. In the 16th century.B. In the late 7th century.C. In the 18th century.D. More than 2,300 years ago.3. What does the text suggest about the role of poetry in building understanding between cultures?A. Poetry can build understanding between cultures and people.B. Poetry creates barriers between cultures.C. Poetry has no impact on cultural understanding.D. Poetry is mainly focused on promoting cultural differences.4. How does Jay Bhadricha describe the concept of "refuge" in relation to poetry?A. "A challenge, a mystery, and a distant journey."B. "A place to hide from danger, away from one's loved ones."C. "A feeling of sadness and loss."D. "Shelter from the storm, an escape, a hug from someone you love."5. What is the origin of the word "refuge," as mentioned in the text?A. It has no specific origin mentioned in the text.B. It is derived from a Latin word meaning "home."C. It comes from a French word meaning "to flee."D. It originates from an ancient Greek term.答案: 1. B, 2. B, 3. A, 4. D, 5. CDClimate Change Is Changing the Color of the OceanClimate change is reshaping the surface of the Earth — even down to the color of the oceans. A new study says that more than half the world's ocean area is "becoming greener." The trend is connected to human-caused global warming.It's not clear what is driving the greening. In some places, it could indicate changes in the amount of plankton or other organic material floating in the water. Plankton are a cornerstone of the ocean food chain. These kinds of shifts could have ripple effects throughout the entire marine ecosystem. That's a topic for future research. For now, the researchers can say for sure that the oceans are changing colors. And climate change is to blame.The study was published Wednesday in the journal Nature. It examines 20 years of satellite data. The data measures light reflected at the surface of the water all across the globe. The subtle changes aren't necessarily visible to the naked eye. The research finds that 56 percent of the world's oceans are shifting in color. And on the whole, they're growing greener. The trend is especially strong in the lower latitudes. These include the subtropics and tropics. Scientists then used a computer model. They wanted to find out whether climate change was playing a part. They ran one set of simulations. They represented the oceans under a strong climate change scenario. Then, they compared them with a second set of simulations. They imagined a world in which climate change didn't exist.Climate change seems to be the culprit. But the exact reasons still need some scientific digging. Rising ocean temperatures in and of themselves aren't driving the greening. There are plenty of other ways global warming is affecting the world. It can change the structure and flow of certain currents, for instance. These kinds of changes can affect the growth of phytoplankton and other factors that might be contributing to the greening. The findings weren't a surprise to the researchers. They're consistent with the way researchers expect the global oceans to change as the world keeps on warming. "I've been running simulations that have been telling me for years that thesechanges in ocean color are going to happen," study co-author Stephanie Dutkiewicz said. "To actually see it happening for real is not surprising, but frightening."1. According to the study, what percentage of the world's ocean area is "becoming greener"?A. Less than half.B. Around a quarter.C. Approximately two-thirds.D. More than half.2. What is not clear about the greening of the oceans?A. The impact of plankton on the marine ecosystem.B. The exact reasons driving the change in color.C. The visible changes in ocean color.D. The connection between greening and global warming.3. What did the researchers use to examine the changes in ocean color?A. Satellite data measuring reflected light.B. Survey responses from oceanographers.C. A computer model of the world's oceans.D. Underwater cameras and sensors.4. What do the simulations in the study suggest about climate change and ocean color?A. Climate change has no impact on ocean color shifts.B. Rising ocean temperatures are the main cause of the change.C. Rising global temperatures are to blame for the greening.D. Ocean color changes are unrelated to global warming.5. What does study co-author Stephanie Dutkiewicz say about the findings?A. They were unrelated to climate change.B. They were inconsistent with previous research.C. They were not surprising but frightening.D. They were unexpected and concerning.答案: 1. D, 2. B, 3. A, 4. C, 5. C。

A study in 2019 found that the possibility of terrible events like Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico is now almost five times higher due to climate change.The storms were similar in many ways but had their own features. Maria was a Category (类别) 4 hurricane whose speed was up to 155 mph, while Fiona, a Category 1 storm when it landed Puerto Rico, was gentler, with winds of up to 85 mph, which later increased to 115 mph as the storm progressed through the island.And yet, the heavy rain caused by Fiona brought Puerto Rico to its knees. According to the data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the slow moving storms brought 15.80 inches of rain over a 5-day period, slightly more than Maria at 14.72 inchesThis confirms another long-held thought that, with climate change, horrible storms will not only become more common but also wetter.That’s because the increase in temperatures is leading to more loss of water from the sea and warmer air can hold more water vapor (水蒸气). The average temperature all over the world has already increased by nearly 1.2℃ due to climate change and for each 1℃ of warming, the air’s ability to hold water is thought to increase by about 7%. The latest research suggests that the increase may be three times higher, at 21%.；4. What was a direct cause of more storms in Puerto RicoA．Loss of forests. B．Puerto Rico’s location.C．Human activity. D．Climate change.；5. Compared with Maria, what’s the feature of Fiona progressing through Puerto RicoA．It brought less rain. B．It moved a bit slower.C．It caused a longer power cut.

Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”8. Why did Sheneman start the art projectA．To raise people’s awareness of diabetes. B．To raise money for all the diabetics.C．To advertise for her hometown. D．To get sympathy for herself.9. What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey A．The reactions and concerns of others. B．The app connected to the Dexcom G6.C．The variation of her glucose levels. D．The physical difficulty the walk causes.10. Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like ShenemanA．Colorful. B．Cautious.C．Artistic. D．Adventurous.11. What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph A．Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.B．We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.C．Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.D．Our path in life will not always be smooth.二、七选五阅读We know that choosing a college major can be very tough. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you choose.What is a major12 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my majorThe major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 13 .When do I choose a majorThis varies widely across schools and programs. 14 . Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.15Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However,keep this in mind: every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majorsIf one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 16 A double major provides you with an understanding or two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A．Can I change my mindB．Is my major time-consumingC．It’s your specialized area of study in college.D．Most students find one major is more than enough.E．Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F．The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes. G．Many future science doctors major in non-science related fields.三、完形填空The year 2020 was a hard year.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. 36 you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 37 down. But relaxation is 38 for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a 39 part of everyday life and there is no way to 40 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 41 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 42 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 43 it can lead to poor performance and 44 health.The amount of stress a person can bear 45 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 46 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 47 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 48 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 49 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 50 between life and death. The crises(危机) we meet today are 51 to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 52 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 53 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 54 links with stress. 55 we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?36. A. When B. While C. Once D. As37. A. slow B. calm C. get D. turn38.

But some are moving into their own places as social norms (规范) develop.When Alan, a civil servant willing to challenge and reform this conventional stereotype (陈规), decided to move out of his family home in Singapore, it still took the 27-year-old a month to talk about the topic with his parents. He feared they wouldn’t understand. After all, Alan’s home was a pleasant place. The family’s three-bedroom condominium (公寓) wasn’t far from the city-state’s central business district. There was homemade dinner on the table each night, and his laundry was always donefor him. “There wasn’t a push factor, just pull factors,” he says. “I’d lived with my parents my whole life, so I just wanted to experience what it’s like being by myself, you know?”In the West, leaving home is just another milestone in adulthood. Yet in most Asian societies, things are different. Culturally, moving out is sometimes considered as showing disrespect to your parents, which makes it even challenging and praiseworthy. In Singapore, living at home until marriage is a common practice; an estimated 97% of unmarried individuals lived with their parents in 2013.While the trend is in part driven by deep-rooted ideas of filial piety (孝道), it’s also linked to government policies on accommodation for young people. Most Singaporeans live in public housing units, apartments funded by the state that are known as HDBs. About 90% of those who live in HDBs own their home.Those who can’t buy HDBs can rent via the private property market — but costs are much higher. “These cost restrictions,” says Dr Chua, a professor of sociology, “effectively keep most young, unmarried people living at home with their parents.”Yet Alan, who now rents a flat in Hougang with two friends from junior college, is among the courageous young pioneers resisting the long-time cultural norm. These commendable young people are deciding that the price of the freedom to organize their own life is worth it and stepping out of their home.；4. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs?A．The East and the West are very different in most aspects.B．Alan decided to live separately mainly due to some objective reasons.C．The majority of single young people followed social customs in living in 2013. D．In the East, it is culturally acceptable for the young to live separately from the elderly.；5. What mainly causes most single young people to live with their parents in Singapore?A．Their parents’ expectations.B．Their personal wish.C．The home environment. D．The traditional culture and housing prices.；6. What is the author’s attitude towards the young Singaporeans like Alan moving out? A．Confused. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.；7. What is the best title for the text?A．Young Singaporeans’ Relationship with Their ParentsB．Young Singaporeans Fighting Against Old Social CustomsC．Young Singaporeans Striking Out Their Way to IndependenceD．Young Singaporeans’ New Way to Solve High Housing PricesCEradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s continuous problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snacklovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, wher e Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they cut them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use materials from old coats to line the insides. It takes about four hours to make a sleepi ng bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “not allowed water to enter, not heavy, and not difficult to carry around,” Oleita said. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800, 000 chip bags and created 110 sleeping bags since last December.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of achieving a better life－and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita stated, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”8. What’s the aim of the Chip Bag Project?A．To draw the snack lover’s attention to the homeless.B．To change the chip bags into sleeping bags for the homeless.C．To recycle the garbage to remove the poverty for the country.D．To help solve the environmental pollution caused by chip bags.9. What can we learn from Para. 2?A．Chip eaters can place the empty bags wherever they want.B．Eradajere Oleita collects the empty chip bags independently.C．The sleeping bags are tough but not easy to carry around.D．The procedure of making a sleeping bag needs masses of chip bags.10. What does the words mean by Oleita in Para. 3?A．The environmental issues should be stressed.B．Poverty should be lifted out of the homeless.C．The Chip Bag Project will impact the society and environment.D．The Chip Bag Project will be devoted to achieving a better life.11. What can be inferred from the text?A．Chip bags are always used to help the homeless.B．Chip bags are only useful in addressing the environmental problems.C．The issues of environment and poverty will be stressed in the future. D．Environmental injustice and poverty are disconnected with each other.二、七选五阅读It is very important to keep fit and stay healthy. A lot of people fail to believethe good that daily exercise does to health and only begin to do so when they suffer from health problems. 12Regular(经常的)exercise helps you keep in good shape. Maybe, you are one ofthe many overweight people struggling with problems of body shape, yet you do not want to do anything about that. Sometimes you see very nice clothes, but they don’tfit you because of your body size. 13Doing exercise keeps you thinking quickly at all times. It’s a perfect way of developing the strength of your mind. 14 Besides, there is a reason why most athletes are usually happy. The release(释放)of dopamine (多巴胺) when doing exercise changes their feelings for the better. 15 Run around the blocks each morning, jog or lift weights and see how much good doing exercise does to your m ind.The good of doing exercise every day is endless, but a lot of people pay no attention to it and finally develop lifestyle-related illnesses later in life. So taking exercise is very important and some of the results of not taking exercise are very serious.16 Having fitness goals that mean something to you will help you keep a strict fitness schedule and achieve the result you want. Besides, using fitness trackers, you can monitor your general physical activity and find out whether you have mad e progress.A．Then why is it important to stay fit?B．How can you drive yourself to exercise?C．Setting high goals for exercise is very important.D．Everyone hopes to live a relaxing and comfortable life.E．So keeping your body active improves the work of your brain.F．Fitness exercise will help you lose extra fat and be in great shape.G．Maybe not having enough exercise is the reason for your easy anger.三、完型填空I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧场).

Miss Lantelme, as I called her in my youth, worked as a librarian at the East Meadow Public Library when I was a pre-teen girl.On one occasion, in search of a book to read, I walked slowly over to the desk taken up by a librarian—Miss Lantelme. Serious, polite, and speaking with the voice of a professional(专业的) librarian, she asked what kind of book I liked to read. I thought about it for a few seconds and replied, “Mysteries(悬疑小说).” When I first learned to read, my grandfather gave me a book called The Smugglers of Sandy Bay. It was written by Ruth Holberg and still takes a place in my book collection. I sometimes hold it in my hand to reconnect with its mystical power.Miss Lantelme told me to follow her, and she led me into the mystery part and pointed me in the direction of books written by Agatha Christie. Miss Lantelme handed me a book called The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I will not tell the ending to anyone who has never read that book, but I loved the surprise that I never saw coming. Every week I dug deep into the works of that uncommon writer whose stories still attract me now.On one occasion, Miss Lantelme handed me a book written by John le Carré. The title of the book is The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. For years, I waited for each new book by the recognized master of spy thrillers. Of course, I wished Miss Lantelme to hand the new mystery of John le Carré to me.All these memories flashed through my mind while I sweated my way through my work-out out of breath, giving thanks to the librarians of the world, like Miss Lantelme, who gave me a lifetime of joy, not only the stories.；4. What made the author interested in mysteries?A．The book her grandfather gave her.B．The unknown feeling of a pre-teen girl.C．The professional service of Lantelme.D．The opinion her grandfather gave to her.；5. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3?A．She was interested in Agatha’s works.B．She took exercise around the library.C．She bought a book from Lantelme.D．She went to Lantelme’s home.；6. Who wrote The Spy Who Came in from the Cold?A．Marie Lantelme.B．Ruth Holberg.C．Agatha Christie.D．John le Carré.；7. Which is the best title for the text?A．An Impressive BookB．Lifelong Joy from My GrandfatherC．A Happy Memory for the BooksD．Three Books the Author Wanted to ReadCNext time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. A recent study by a group ofresearchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.”Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Collins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained.Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inner circle. “It’s about this mix. It’s about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support,” she said. “Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being.”；8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The research method.B．The supporting evidence.C．The analysis of the research data.D．The application of the research findings.；9. How does Collin explain the findings in paragraph 3?A．By illustrating concepts.B．By presenting questions.C．By using an expert’s word.D．By referring to another study.；10. What does Collins suggest people do in the last paragraph?A．Live a more active life.B．Expand the inner circle.C．Gain as much support as possible.D．Connect with all kinds of people.；11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Humans, social creatures at heartB．Finding support benefits your well-beingC．The more you interact, the better you will beD．Talking to strangers might make you happier二、七选五阅读It’s hard to do much to treat a cold or the flu once you’re infected. As with many illnesses, taking steps towards prevention may be the best cure for the cold or flu. 12 You may also be able to avoid a serious illness by acting quickly at the first sign of symptoms.Wash your hands. One of the easiest and most effective measures to prevent colds and the flu is by washing your hands thoroughly and frequently. This reduces the proliferation of bacteria and the cold or flu virus from common spaces or surfaces. 13 Wash your hands carefully for 20 seconds, making sure to get under your nails, between your fingers, and thefront and back of your hands.Cover your nose and mouth. Put your hand or tissue (纸巾) over both your nose and mouth whenever you cough or sneeze. Covering sneezes and coughs lowers the risk of spreading your germs (细菌) and the viruses.1415 The cold and flu are very contagious (接触传染的) and generally spread where crowds of people gather round. Wash your hands after touching surfaces in crowded places. If you feel ill, stay home for at least a day to reduce your risk of spreading your cold or flu to others, or making your case worse by catching something else.Get enough rest. Making sure that you allow your body to rest can ease your symptoms and help you more quickly recover from a cold or the flu.16 Getting enough rest also lowers the risk of you infecting family members, friends, or colleagues. Get at least 8 hours of sleep per night and take a short break, which can help your immune system fight any developing cold or flu virus.A．Avoid the crowd.B．Don’t share items with sick people.C．Make sure you wet hands before applying soap to your hands.D．Stay home from work or school, especially if you have a fever.E．Throw away the used tissue immediately and then wash your hands.F．A cold is a viral infection that causes discomfort in the nose and throat. G．You can help prevent common viruses with careful attention to your habits.三、完形填空Huping Mountain features deep valleys and dangerous peaks.

For the past three decades, Du has been one of the few 18 between villagers there and theoutside world. Despite difficult geographic conditions, letters and parcels always make it to their 19 .
