Four.BSometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself.Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of our parents' eyes, and that our Grandmas think we're great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it's a lot harder ta think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self image and learnt to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image inçludes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us, Unfortunately, most of these images are more, negative than they should be,Thus changing,the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do everyday. Don't allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self- image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you're sily because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you're weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you're dull because you don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes, But remember,just because you think it doesn't mean it's true.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive Self-image. When you can pat( 拍) yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way.'Good luck!55.You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.A.dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of yourself56.How should you change your self-image according to the passage?A.

Plastic is so useful that it's hard to imagine life without, but it has not been around that long.The first plastic was invented in 1869. That's when American John Wesley Hyatt made a form of plastic from a plant material called cellulose. Before long, his discovery was used to make combs, eyeglasses, buttons, and film.In the 1900s, petroleum products such as oil replaced cellulose. New kinds of plastic were discovered in the 1950s, and that's her the real boons began- People started to use plastic in many fields instead of the old materials. Plastics quickly replace paper, glass, metal, and wood in a growing number of products. In 1960, the United States made 6 billion pounds of plastic. By 1988,the output had grown to 50 billion pounds. These days, almost 10 percent of the oil America uses every year is turned into plastic. That's 2 million barrels of oil a day.Most of the plastic ever made still exists. Unlike wood, metal, and paper, plastic does not break down easily. Some people think plastic will never break down. Others say it may take S00or1,000 years. NO one knows for sure because it has been around for too short a time. But if George Washington had used plastic water bottles in The 1700s, those bottles would probably still be around.Although plastic lasts a long time, we don't keep plastic products very long. We use them and throw them away. Only about 5 percent of plastic is recycled .A huge amount of it ends up floating in the ocean. Then seabirds, seals, turtles, whales and fish eat it. Scientists often find sea animals that have starved- La to death with their stomachs full of plastic. And every time it rains, more trash from city streets flushes into the sea Much of that trash is plastic.What can we do about plastic? First, be aware. Oil takes millions of years to form. Should we use up this precious fuel to make flimsy shopping bags that are used once and thrown away?Should any animal pay for our convenience with its life? Each person's actions can make a difference. It's time to act now.59. What can we know about plastic?A. Plastic is now widely used in every area of our daily life.B. America holds the leading position in the world-wide use of plastic.C.Plastic can last for more than 300 years and will never break down.D. About 95% of plastic is used once and then thrown away,60. Which detail supports the idea that plastic can be dangerous?A. Animals starve to death after eating plastic.B. Much of that trash is plasticC.

Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物) They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They contain genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein(蛋白质).Unlike bacteria (病毒），fviruses can't reproduce on their own. Instead, they invaded(侵略) the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is: wheredid viruses first come from?Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. "Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult," Ed Rybicki, a virologist(病毒专家) at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, "because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they've invaded."Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts -not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task,says Nature.However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, and then became parasites ( 寄生者). Second, viruses evolved (进化)from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is I even more mysterious than it now appears.67. What can we learn about viruses from the passage?A. They only infect animals and plants.B. They reproduce by finding a host cell.C. They are really small living organisms.D. They are more dangerous than bacteria68. The underlined word plausible" in the last paragraph probably meansA. creativeB. effective C reasonable D. unbelievable69. What can we learn from the passage?A. The author is confident about further virus studies.B Viruses will become more like bacteria.C.Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animalsD.It may take a long time to discover the origin of viruses70.What's the best title of the passage?A. Where Do Viruses Come from?B. Why Is COVID-19 a Terrible Virus?C. How to Stop the Viruses from Spreading?D. What Are the Differences Between Viruses and Bacteria?II卷(60分)五、词汇(每小题1分,共20分)A根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意,写出句中所缺的单词,使句子通顺。
